CATTLE REGULATIONS.
The House Committee on Agriculture
to-day, agreed to report to the House for
printing and recommittal the bill which
has been practically agreed upon, making
it a misdemeanor for common carriers to
transport cattle affected with pleuro-pneu-
monia or other contagious diseases. After
penalty for such action, the
bill directs the Committee on Agriculture
to appoint agents at important points
along the lines of railroads, whose duty 1T
shall be to examine cattle being trans
ported. and authorizes the Secretary Of
the Treasury to designate agents at ship
ping points, who shall act in conjunction
with customs officers in examining all cat
tie imported or exported.
CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.
The Legislative, Executive and Judicial
bill will be considered to-
morrow by Senators Davis (W. Va, Beck
and Window as subcommittee OF the Sen,
ate Committee on Appropriations, and
present indications are that the bill will
not be reported to the Senate by full COM
mittee before Wednesday, nor taken up
for aetiou by that body before Wednesday.
The House has renewed in this bill the
attempt which it has made without sue
cess, in the preceding Congress, to regulate
the number and pay of Senate employees.
The Senate will again, undoubtedly, refuse
to consent to the reduction proposed by
the House in this matter, which has here.
tofore been controlled by each branch OF
Congress for itself, and the bill will ac-
cordingly be returned to the House OF
Representatives with number of amend
ments.
THE REFUSDlEG CERTIFICATES.
The Treasury Department is advised
that instructions in circular OF April 18th,
reserving the refunding certificates for sale
in sums not to exceed one hundred dollars,
are being evaded for speculative purposes,
and announces that where such evasion is
manifest or where any one person claims
more than one hundred dollars, either for
himself or others, the certificates will be
refused and the authority OF any designat-
ed 6espositorxwho fails to enforce the
regulations will be withdrawn and the
commissions will not be allowed on the
sales made by him.
Owing to the great pressure upon the
Department in the issue of the per cent
bonds already subscribed for and re-
demption of the called 500 and 1O-4O
bonds, the conversion of refunding GER
tificates into bonds will necessarily be post
poned until on or after July lst.
on REMOVING WOUNDED UNION SOLDIERS
With reference to recently published
statements that officials of the Senate are
removing wounded Union soldiers, Sena'
tor Wallace to-day said there was no pur'
pose to remove wounded soldiers, and the
Democrats could learn of but five such,
who we're Senate employees. These were
Messrs. Bunnell, Wilson, Ball and Merritt
messengers, and Richards, in the station
ery room, all of whom were named to be
retained. Now, others allege they arc
wonnded soldiers. One of these is the
case named by Mr.. Conkling during de-
hate. but Mr.. Wallace showed this man to
have been in service as musician, and
never wounded and discharged because ol
hernia. The Postmaster of the Senate. Ill
whose room Colonel St. Michael. OF New
Jersey, is to be placed, it said to be
wounded soldier, but this, leading Demo-
cratic Senators assert, was unknown until
now. All the wounded soldiers retained
are Republicans.
