Miscellaneous News from the Ma
tional Capital.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Until
further notice, the Treasury Depart
ment will redeem bonds embraced
within one hundred dollars, and the
first call upon their presentation at
the Department, with interest to
date of presentation.
The House committee on ways
and means held a meeting this morn
ing and took under consideration the
funding bill as amended by the
Senate. The bill was read by Sec
tions and several amendments were
discussed and acted upon. The
majority of the Senate amendments
were agreed to. The exceptions
were first in regard to the award of
bonds of the new per cent. loan to
subscribers. The committee adopt
ed the amendment of the first secs
ton, which provides in effect that
the bonds shall be distributed in
order of application, without any
sealing of subscriptions. The
amendments were also adopted to
section four of the bill to authorize
the Secretary of Treasury to use
from time to time, not exceeding
fifty million dollars at any one
time of the standard gold and silver
com in the Treasury, IN the redemp-
ton of the five and six per cent.
bonds of the United States also to
authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury, at any time, to apply the
surplus money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, or as much
thereof as he may consider proper,
to the redemption of any United
States bonds or of treasury notes
authorized by this act. An amend
ment was adopted to section five,
which extends the time from July first
to September first, when the banks
must deposit new bonds exclusively
to secure their circulation. The
committee will meet again tomorrow
to take final action and instruct their
chairman iD regard to the report to
be made to the House. The sugar
question was not considered by the
committee to>day.

and as long as it operated equally
Congress should look back upon it
as an intelligent safeguard over the
the ballot. The appointment of a
committee, such as had been suggest
ed by the gentleman from New York,
Mr.. Crowley, to inquire as to those
limitations, would disturb every
community from Maine to Califor-
MIA. It would awaken in the South
the fear of a repetition of the
wrongs of past administrations it
would disturb confidence, and it
would paralize business. In conclu-
sion, he appealed for peace between
the sections. Let the South glory
in the wealth and order of the North.
Let the North glory in the past
history and magnificent posi-
bilities of the South. Be
tween them, let there be no
more jarring, but "let each round
each revolve, ruling star, in peace
and harmony forever.
Mr.. Dunn, of Arkansas, in brief
speech, denied the statement made
some time ago by Mr.. Hor:, OF
Michigan, to the effect that in the
State of Arkansas negroes were pre-
vented from voting, and he quoted
statistics to justify his denial.
Mr.. Hayes, of Illinois, ad-
dressed the House in support
of the bill of the minority of the
committee on the census
Mr.. Cox, of New York, demanded
the previous question.
The Republicans insisted upon g
longer time for debate, and upon be-
ing denied, resorted to dilatory mo-
tions and filibnstering to prevent &C
ton. These obstructive tactics pre-,
vailed throughout the afternoon anc
are still in operation at 8 p. M, with
the prospect that the dead lock viii
continue all night.
