tending the time for presenting the claims for col
lectlng, drilling or organizing volunteers for the

Mr.. Beck called up the resolution submitted by
him on the 2lst of January, declaring It iuexpedi.
ent at this time to levy and collect taxes for the
maintenance Of the sinking fund and spoke at
length in favor Of the resolution.
Mr.. Morrill, was quite ready to go as far as the
Senator from Kentucky or any other Senator TO
properly relieve the country from taxation, 1t
was allttlosingular that the Senator Beck) should
bring forward the resolution embracing 50 wide a
scope and ask It's passage without reference to the
Committee on Finance, The removal of taxes
was very pleasant duty, but their imposition
sometimes was patriotic necessity, The refer
ence Of this resolution to the Committee on Fl.

HOUSE.

Washington, March T.
The bill removing the political disabilities oil
Robert A. Chiffon of Georgia, was passed.
Mr.. Mcmahon, from the Committee on Accounts
reported resolution authorizing the Committee
on Rules to employ seven experts to be assigned
by the Speaker to such committees Of investiga-
ton as may seem.proper,
MI Springer offered q substitute authorizing
the Committee on Expenditures in the several de-
partmentS of the government to employ such a
clerk or expert pending investigations, and also
authorizing the Committee on Postotfces and
Roads to employ two experts.
Mr.. Foster said this was but proposition to in
crease the number Of dead heads from Ohio, who
last year drew thousands Of dollars from the con-
tingent fund Of the House.
Mr.. Mcmahon said that that gentleman was ac-
qualnted with all the gentlemen who had come
into Office by fraud recently. Laughter
Mr.. Foster-I am acquainted with the Chairman
of the Military Committee.
Mr.. McMahOn-And with another person, not
necessary to name. And, indeed, you played an
important part in his introduction into office.
He went on to say that when the Republican
party had been in power in the House. 1t had not
needed clerks or experts. 1t had only needed a
whitewash bucket and nice brush to put the
whitewash on with. In regard to the meaning of
the term "expert" it meant fellow with keen
nose for Republican rascalities.
Mr.. Conger-I supposed it..meant something ca

Mr.. McMahon-No, am not referring to you
now. Laughter

Whole on the Deficiency Appropriation bill.
An item of twenty thousand dollars for clerks
detailed to investigate fraudulent land enteries,
trespasses on public lands and eases Of official
misconduct, was the subject of,'considerable dis
cusslon in connectiOn.with timber frauds.
After the speeches in opposition by Messrs, Page,
Patterson and Hooker Mr.. Townsend, Of New
York, elucidated the whole subject by an anecdOte
of an old colored man in North Carolina who Of.
fered very nicely dressed chicken to traveller.
The traveller asked him where he got the chicken.
"Are you Northern man?" asked the darkey.
Yes" "Are you friend of the colOred man ~
"Yes." "Well, then you will never ask such a
question again." Laughter. So 1t was with
these gentlemen and their constituents. 1hesec.
relary of the Interior should never ask them
again where they got their timber [Laughter,l
Finally the committee rose and reported the
BILL and 1t was passed
It Itappropriates $500 for temporary clerks in the
Treasury, $4,000 for clerks to investigate fraudu
lent land entries ETC., s25 900 for clerks in the
General Land Office to bring into market public

Mr., Conger (Rep. Mich,) read from an order is
sued May 20, 1861 by the Postmaster General Of
the Confederate States Government In the South
ern States to retain in their possession subject to
further order of the department for the benehl Of
the COME ierate States, all mail bags and other
property belonging to the postal service.
Mr., Willis (Rep MiDh) denied the statement
made by Mr. Reagan some time ago, that the Con
iederste Government had never paid or assumed
TO pay the contractors. He read from an act pass
ed by the Confederate Congress, In which II as
sumed to pay every dollar, the only Limitation be-
ing that such contractors should be loyal 10 the
Coniederacy He had found upon examination
Of the Confederate records that eighteen Of those
claims had been audited and paid and the Con
federate Government had gone so far as to pro
vide that the United States Government should
thereafter nay them, the contractors should reim-
burse the Confederate Government, He also quot
ed from report made by Mr.. Reagan as Confeder.
ate Postmaster General, In which he credited
himself with S502,OOO paid on account Of services
rendered prior to May 81, 1861.
MIR. Reagan said that he had not seen any of his
reports since the end Of the war, If he had all of
them he thought he could prove what he had stat
ed. II Mr. Willis was right, he would agree to
al amendment excluding from payment such
contractors as had been paid by the Confederate
Government
Mr., Cox Rep., Ohio said that Mr.. Reagan had
won the respect of the Republican side of
the House by his conduct on the floor Zap

Mr.. Tucker Dem, ya) said that he was not
willing vote should be taken on this bill until 1t
had been recommited for examination into the
facts. and he believed that such examination
would clearly vindicate the honor the COnieder'
ate Government and of every Southern man on
that side of the House. He was sure that the gen.
tlemen on the other side, who thought they had
found mares nest of dishonor to the Confedera
cy, whOuld be glad to see, as present fellow citi'
zens, that honor vindicated. He moved that the
committee rise.
The committee rose but point of order blocked
the motion to reCommt.
The Speaker announced that he would be alb
sent tomorrow, and appointed Mr.. Blackburn
(Dem. N. Y,)as Speaker pro tenn. The House then
