of four per cent, per annum. The soldier
gets an account book. and has an entry
made Of his deposits just as he would at a
bank-the advantage of the thing being
that while he is frequently stationed in re-

for keeping that any resident OF city has.
These deposits are only paid on the final
DISCHARGE of the soldier, but are not subject
to seizure for his debts, nor TO forfeiture by
any sentence of court martial, except Tor
desertion. The act has proved so satisfac
tory in his operation that the officers of the
army are quite anxious to be admitted to the
same privilege, and petitions from officer:
of the sixth and seventh infantry have
been sent to congress, through the war de

THE CONGRESSIONAL IRON CLAD OATH.


The judiciary committee of the house
are in q snare over the proposed repeal Of
the iron clad oath. The statutes prescribe
two oalhs for men bers now, one for the
Union men, and another for the ex-rebels
The Democrats in that spirit which Cox
termed amnestical propose to wipe out all
these distinctions, and replace both oaths
with simple oath to support the constitu
ton and the laws of the United States
The Republicans, however, are anxious to
make pretty De-r the same sort of fight on
this that they did on the amnesty bill, and
so their representatives on the judiciary
committee insist that the oath shall pledge
those who take it, not only to support the
constitution and the laws of the United
States, but to uphold the Union. They
also want it to contain denial of the right
of secession. The bill has been made the
special order in the committee on Tuesday
and there is sure to be lively time over :,

THE RELIGIOUS QUESTION.
The res ,lution by Mr.. O'Brien of Balti-
more on last Monday. proposing an amend
ment to the constitution to cover the school
and religious questions, is attracting SO
much attention from the fact that he is a
Catholic. that copy of its exact text
will be OF interest to your readers. 1t pro-
poses to submit to the people the following
new article, as article XVI. of the consti
tuition:
SECTION l. No state shall make any law respect
ing an establishment OF religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; and no minister or preacher
Of the gospel or OF any religious creed denomi-
nation shall hold any Office of trust emolument

shall religious test be required qualifca-
tion for any Office public In any state or I'M

troll of any reiigi sect nor snail any money so

ligious sects denominations nor shall any minis

GRANT AND THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC R. R,
WASHINGTON, d, c., Jan, 2l-The
interview between the committee of
the national railroad convention and
President Grant to-day has excited much
interest here, aud is variousiy discussed
The president spoke very carefully and
deliberately, evidently weighing each
word, but yet very frankly indicated that
he desired to see the Texas Pacific railroad
completed, and considers it of very great
Importance, as affordiEg a competing line
with the northern line now in operation
The president very naturally was indis
posed 10 express an opinion on the pend
ing proposition, as it is now entirely in the
hands of congress, but he said enough to
show that he understands the importance
OF the enterprise and that he regards with
disfavor the existing northern monopoly.
For so reticent man as Gen. Grant, his
reply was highly satisfactory TO the friends
of the great project and will be received
with proportionate disgust by the central
Pacific people, who are moving heaven and
earth to misrepresent and defeat the pend
ing bill. On Tuesday evening next, mem
bers of the committee and other gentle
men will meet the senate committee on
railroads and will participate in the dis
cussion Of the subject. Judge kennard
OF New Orleans will be the main spOkes
man. At the meeting of the committee
to-day, Hon, Jas. o, RrOadhead was com.

BABCoCK' $ DEFENCE.

Your correspondent was informed to-
night by a gentleman of trustworthy
character and in position to be posted.
that one ofthe leading witnesses to be
summoned by Babcock in his approaching
trial will be Secretary Bristow himself. 1t
is not known whal he expects to prove by
Bristow, but the few who have learned Of
his intention regard it as master stroke.
believing that if Bristow's testimony
should assist in Babcock's acquittal, public
Indignation would he reused against the
secretary, whist if it should aid in Bah
cocks condemnation, Grant. would put
Bristow out of the cabinet. Mr.. Bristow.

A UNIT OF MONEY FOR THE UNITED STATES
AND GREAT BRITAI.

A novel and interesting proposition in
the shape of a concurrent resolution, in
trJduced by Senatar Sherman, is before
the senate committee on finance 1t pro-
poses that the president suggest conven-
ticn between the United States and Great
Britain to secure uniformity 10 coins and
moneys of the two countries, This is to
be done by making the dollar the common
money Of account, and requiring that all
accounts, representing transactions to be
settled in coin, shall be kept 10 dollars and
cents or fractional parts of a cent. Ster-
ling money is to be converted into dollar
money, by computing the pound sterling
as equivalent to five dollars, the shilling to
twenty-five cents, the sixpence to twelve
and half cents the penny to two cents,
and the farthing to cne-half cent. These
gold coins are. Of course. to be made to ii
certain agreed standard, and are to be II
egnl teuder within each country for debts
and obligations payable in gold coin, ex-
cepting such as uay have been incurred
within the United States payable in gold
coins of former standard. Coins subsid-
larry to the gold, of silver or alloys of base
metal. are of course to be permitted, rep
resenting cents OF hundredth parts Of dol

visions thereof, but these are not to be

BOUNTY EQUALIZATION.

Several bills are nnw before the house
committee on military affairs providing
for an equalization Of the bounties, and
there is 40 doubt that strong effort will
be made to push some bill of this character
through the house. The military COM
mittee not having taken ZIP this subject in
any formal way yet, it is not possible t.
indicate what the prospect OF favorable
report from them is, An ingenious line of
argument has been adopted by some
Democrats who are advocating the passage
ct such measure, and there is some
chance that these arguments may prove
seductive enough to procure a report from
the committee. A bounty equalization
bill would affect SD many thousands OF
voters that il always has been iavorite
trick 90 make capital by making snow OF
passing it. There has never been any
real intention of making such a bill law,
notwithstanding equalization bills passed
the house several times while the Repub
lican party was in the majority, and lasI
year, by an error in the senate. 1t camt
very nearly being law. 1t was nothlD.
but buncombe with the Republican house
and now Democrats are disposed to see i
they can't play the same game for them

the bill last year, satisfied that the senate
might talk about the bill, but would nevcr
dare pass it. Now the Democrats WIZ

sumo that it must have been something
of the the kind, as it is remembered
that the ostensible proprietor of the

$500, "allow" the Vancouver Register
