which was inserted at the instance of the
Attorney Geueral: "That no part of any
appropriation made for the judicial expendi-
ture of the United States shall be paid TO

CAPTURED BATTLE FLAGS.

Representative Boutelle's Resolution
of Inquiry to be Favorably Reported.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.---The House Com
mittee on Military Affairs this afternoon
wisely disposed of Representative Boutelle's
resolution Of inquiry asking the Secretary
of War what had been done with the cap
tured battle flags in the War Department
by agreeing unanimously to report it
promptly and favorably 10 the House. Mr..
Boutelle seems to have had an idea that the
report might be delayed or be adverse.
This would have given him greater oppor
tunity for display of rhetorical fire
works, but the Committee ON
Military Affairs disappointed him.
1t did not even strike out
any of his vague sentences, contenting itself
with changing the word directed" in the
sentence 1.-The Secretary of War is directed
to furnish the information TO requested" "
and enlarging the scope Of the inquiry as to
the request for the flags from requests
from the Southern States" to requests
from any Staten The House will adopt
the resolution. and the Secretary of War
will furnish an adequate and satisfactory
reply.

RETURN OF DIRECT TAXES.
The Bill Taken from the Calendar ir
the Senate

OO~~~~NOs
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-In the Senate to-
day the bill to credit and pay to the several
States and Territories and the District of
Columbia all money collected under the
direct tax act of August, 1861, reported by
Mr. Morrill, from the Committee on Finance
Dec. 10, was taken from the calendar and
considered
Mr.. Berry offered resolution directing
in cases where a tax was collected from
citizens either directly or by sale of prop
erty hat the amounts shall be paid to the
Governor of the State in trust Tor such
citizens, whether the State be or be not in
debted to the United States.
Mr.. Sherman argued that the amendment
would create grave embarrassment in the
execution of the bill.
Mr.. Berry explained the purpose of the
amendment, and advocated its adoption.
Mr.. Beck said that the amendment had
been talked over informally among the
members of the Finance Committee, and
that they were generally opposed to it,
thinking it would be in the way of a final
settlement, and that the better way was to
have the money paid to the States, and
leave the citizens to pursue their remedy
against them.
The resolution was rejected by vote Of
II yeas to IS nays Mr.. Beck stated that us
all direct taxes must be uniform it would
be necessary either to collect the direct tax
from States which had not paid it or to
refund to those States which had paid it
the amounts respectively paid by them.
The latter was what the bill proposed to do.
SHOULD DEAL WITH THE STATES.
Mr.. Gray favored the passage of the bill,
but argued that AS the States had dealt
directly with the general government, so
the general cove rnment should deal directly
with the States in refunding the amount;
and he moved to strike out the proviso in
the third section, that where the
tax was collected either directly or
by the sale OF property, the sums
50 paid were to be held in trust for the ben
eft of the heirs of those from whom they
were collected. He considered the proviso
as hamper,ng the bill.
Mr.. Edmlmd5 moved to amend the pro-
viso, proposed TO be struck out, by making
it apply only to cases where the tax was
collected by the United States This was
agreed to.
At , o'clock the bill was laid aside with
out further action.
