From Our REGULAR Correspondent.I
WASHINGTON, February 22.-I stated in
nv dispatches last night that Mr.. Carlisle,
the patron OF the bill to relieve bank de.
posts, etc, OF the tax now imposed on
them, was afraid that II could not possibly
be reached this session. This feeling was
concurrcd in by its most Sagacious friends
in both houses. Hence to-day the Senate FL
nance Committee reported bill for the abO-
Hilton OF the tax on deposits Of banks, omit
ting everything else. The Senate with much
unanimity passed the bill. The following
is the text of the bill: "That so much OF
sections 340S and 52li OF the Revised Stat
utes as impose taxes upon the deposits Of
any person, bank, banking association, COM
pany, or corporation engaged in banking,
be and the same is hereby repealed" The
bill ought to pass the House, but OF course
will encounter the opposition of Mes'rs.
Mills. Morrison, Sparks, and other anti.
bank members. The point OF ordei
NAV be raised that the Senate has not
the right 10 originate bill repeating
tax. Then IT may 90 to the Speakers
table and not be reached. Mr.. Tucker,
however. tonight thinks it will pass, and
know that Mr.. Bayard is now Of opinion
that it, passage Will make the per cent.
bond bill success. lie was for % per
cent. bill when the funding matter was
before the senate. The bill will take effect
from its passage.
no MORE NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT.
Cnles. Mr. HAYES changes his mind /
have reliable information tonight that he
does not intend to send any more nomIra-
tons 10 the Senate. Some Of those he has
already sent, including Stanley Matthews.
Billings, and Gray Of Alexandria, seem to
have but little chance CT getting through.
SUGAR BEFORE HE WAYS AND MEANS.
The WAYS and Means Committee to-day
heard more sugar.men, but concluded to
allow no more arguments TO be made by
outsiders. 1t will tomorrow continue the
consideration OF the sugar tariff in commit
tee. Nv judgment j. that nothing can pos
sbly be doue this session. Why did not the
sugar-men go before the committee in De-
cember instead OF waiting until the closing
days Of the session?
A FIGHT OVER GEORGE Observation-Disclosures
WINS.
Senator Johnston to-day called up House
Joint resolution for the erection OF monu-
ment at the birthplace Of Washington, in
WestmOreland county, and it was opposed
by Messrs. Ingalls,. COckrel, Conkling, and
others. Messrs. Johnston, Salisbury, Nor
gan, and Hoar advocated il, and the rcsOlu-
ton finally pissed after warm debate.
Mr.. ingalls, said that the spot designed to
be designated was in corn field on
an abandoned farm, and he proceeded to
ridlcule the proposition OF erecting me-
mortal cottage there. Mr.. Cockrel opposed
it with warmth. Mr.. Conkling wanted it
ing. declared that the spot could be marked
by locust.pOst, and that, he said, seemed
to be the idea Of The Kansas Senator; but
he himself wanted monument suited to
the fame OF the Father OF his Country. II
was a resolution that ought not to be dis
cus>ed bu; upon which members ought to
vote. The following is the complete text OF
the Joint resolution Is it passed and goes to
the President:
