There are many varieties of boys, among which are found the good boy, the bad bov, the big boy, tbe little my, tne w ild boy, the fat boy, the tom boy,'ho last boy and tbe Bowery boy. The good boy is at present almost extinct. There are many boys who are very good while they arc sicx when attending funerals, and, above all, when sleeping. A conscience of caoutchouc might perhaps consider them good boys. The bad boy is a tellow who will bear watch ing. When be has done wiong he sin uld bo corporally rebuked with a good dose ol Solo mon’s birch tonic. One of these bad boys has been trying 10 find a virtuous stage driver. His test, is to hit the driver iu the head with a turnip or potato; then if ue swears he is a bad man, if not, he is very virtuous. The said hoy ba t sled fifty-six drivers, and found but ouo virtuous man. That man was dumb Tbe little fellow is be who runs eilauds, tells tales, cuts his fingers, tumbles down stairs every morning before breakfast, pulls tbe cal's tail until she gives him a token ol her affec tion on the hand or cheek, and never uses his pocket handkerchief. The big boy is that important individual who “bosses’’ the little lellow at every oppoituuity, and is very fond of displaying his own vast learning. Tbe wild bov is the must difficult to man age, for he is not a bad boy—that is, he does not lie, steal, or swear. He ouly allows his large stock of animal spirits full play—and sometimes thev play th-- miscbiel. He meant no harm, but does a great dual. He enjoys good health, thinks principally of his own fun can’t keep still, eats green apples, has awful colics, cuts up a broom and puts the wliisps into your bed, spills molasses upon the seats of tbe chairs, forgets to clean his teeth tight mornings out of seven, and al ways has four or five distinct coals o. real es tate upon his hands and face. The real fat boy always does two things energetically, steadily, and well, namely, eat and sleep. Other things are ol no great importance to him, except the luxury of a good fire, per haps. The tom boy is a snare and a delusion. He is not a boy at all. He is a girl, and we are not discussing girls. As a general thing the tart boy Is four d only in our Targe cities. He is the cit'zen who smokes fine cigars, exiiectorates freely, wears flashy clo.hes. drives fast lior«cs and dr nks I'imself into an early grave. He may be seee almost any fine day walking on Broadway or Fifth avenue. Dou’i lend him any money it you wish to hear from it again. Lastly, we have the Bowery boy, or “Corner Statue,’’ as he has been called. He seems to labor under the impression that lamp posts are erected lor him to lean against, that sidewalks are made for him to moisten with tbe juice of the to bacco quid. He never wears a collar, has an inherited antipathy to all kinds of braces or suspenders, boasts how much whiskey be can imbibe, and is altogether, a very lovely creature. [Exchange.

His new country is becoming so strong and prosperous, lives so much within itself and invisibly imbibes so man/ of our Bepublican notions, that the British throne is venerated very much as a piece of tuim ture out of date and left only as a curiosity. The greater part of our Dominion neighbors would not admit it now, but some flue morn ing, ere long, they will wake up asking each other what under the sun they want this viceroy for all the way trom England or Deland. After it has come to this pass it will not be long ere they conclude that the people of the Dominion can choose their own Governor General, aud it is not the slightest consequence so long as the Premier is a stone mason if the Governor General is not ad dressed as “Me Lord.” In the recent con test between the two parties when the Gover nor General dissolved the House of Com tnous and ordered a royal commission t o in quire into the Macdonald ministry, with the Canadian Pacific Railroad scandal, liis acts were criticised very much like those of any atber public man, while the more sagacious of the Dominion people saw that an import ad royal representative had used his kingly prerogatives to save a ministry from the rep resentatives of the people who only had a right to deal with it. Of late, still another matter has come up that will not help the colonial relations. New Brunswick has for several years had a school system of her own, liberal, impartial, free. It has been a terror to old fogies and the ad vocates of sectarian schools. A year ago the Macdonal 1 ministry asked the Home Gov ernment whether the interference of the Do minion House with this school law was al lowable. To this, Mr. Gladstone's cabinet replied that such interference was unconsti tutional, but that this was a matter in wh'ch the Governor General must act on his own individual discretion, and on which he could not be advised by the responsible ministers of the Dominion. This reply has set the Dominion politicians a thinking, and they are asking questions as to how far the representative of the throne of Great Britain can go in the annulment of laws passed by the provinces of the D tminion to regulate merely local affairs; and if the Governor General may annul one law at discretion,why not any or all laws There is also another indication that the Dominion people are losing their close at tachment to royalty. Already it has been suggested that Queen Victoria, having more sons on her hands than she knows what to do with, is looking towards the sub throne in Canada for her son,the Duke of Edinburg, as the successor of Lord Dnfferin. A few years ago the loyal subjects of the Queen would have welcomed the suggestion with extrav ageut demonstrations of joy. Not so now. The Toronto G.’obe says that a Duke ruler is ‘'among the category of impractica ble things.” It may be that these royal scions are a bad lot, but the fact that our neighbors can see it is an encouraging one, and when the progressive people of the Dominion come to tool that f-hoj, tni-ii a (Siottl-i, C-.- ~r a Queen for their o vn ruler they will not care to be governed by the monarch of another country. Soykr, the noted cook, says that a man eats on an average, from the time he is ten years old, to the time when he dies, 30 oxen, 200 sheep, 100 calves, 200 lambs, 50 pigs, 1200 chickens, 300 turkeys, 263 pigeons, 140 lbs. salmon, 120 lbs. of other fish, 30,000 oysters, 5,433 lbs. of vegetables, 243 lbs. butter, 24,000 eggs and 4 tons of bread. These figures are sufficient to alarm those with any inclination to dyspepsia, but when we reflect that most meu eat more than the average, as Sir Boyle Roach would express it, the subject is truly appalling to any but a butcher or a market man. We suppose there is no escaping M. Soyer’s figures, and that a man must eat his fifty pigs whether he likes pork or not. If the boy on completing his second lustre could be permitted to drive a bargain with fate, the situation might lose something of its gloom. For example, he who abhors veal might be allowed to “swap” his hundred calves for a proportionate amount ot pigeons, or the epi cure could take all his fish in salmon, or the vegetarian exchange his oxen tor seveial extra tons of bread and vegetables. Until some such arrangement as this is entered into men will continue to prolest, however unavailing ly, against the diet which destiny, in the per son of M. Seyer, has ordained for them. Chicago is agitating itself over the sweep ing of chimneys. At a late meeting of the fire committee a “professor of chimney •weeping” was present and stated that his price was five dollars a chimney. An ordi nance will probablv be passed compelling all soft coal chimneys to be cleaned semi-annu ally, and hard coal chimneys once in five years. Oueof the Aldermen present estimat ed the yearly revenue at $25,000. Some pro pose to give the “professor” a salary of $2, 600, the tees to be turned over to the city,and others to fix his fees at fifty cents a flue, a proposal that has the merit of alliteration if no other. As he is required to give bonds for all damage done to carpets and furniture the salary suggested isn’t excessive. In hi9 letter to Congressman Phelps of New Jersey, Rev. Dr. Bacon of New Haven suggests that the anti-inflationists in Congress should organize a council to oppose the infla tion majority and that political parties should divide on the question of the currency, Such is the frenzy iu the West in favor ot inflation that we fear that the strength of the parly would be confined to New England, New York and a few other states, the great bulk of the South and West being for more legal tenders. It may be well to begin to educate the country on this subject and for that pur pose there can be no better tiact than the speech ol air. Phelps of which we published an extract a few days since. The Pennsylvania people are determined about the centennial and show a disposition to put the affair through successlnlly, if the coal and iron state shall be mortgaged there by. The last body which thinks it can raise a centennial million is the liquor dealers. If this class would stop their business, set their worse than useless capital at useful work turn to industry their ai my of idlers and re lieve the public of the expense of the prisons and poorhouses, their trade has rendered nec essary, Pennsylvania could richly afford to give several millions annually for any good purpose and make money by the trade. It has got to come—a war with Iceland. The Icelanders are distant people, they have no currency to inflate, no Jay Goulds, no Dio Lewises, no B. F. B’s., no Massachus etts seiutorsbips, no District of Columbia! no such of any kind; but without these evi dences ef -civilization they are intelligent) proudspirited and will resent an insult to their nationality—and our authorities are a,out t0 Provoke these people by seuding Km a lull set of the reports of the Depart milla inI the West, the North Western and the St. Paul, at a meeting held in New York a ew days since, have decided to violate the State I laws out-and-out. They have employed the most eminent lawyers of the country, 3 or, Judge Curtis. Evarts, E. B- and they are said to have agreed t jjje railroad laws are unconstitutional, if the statement is true we may look for interesting develop ments. Nkbvous druggists in the West have rea son to tremble. Tbe women of that section have just discovered the meaning of those mys terious words vinl gallici,on a prescription,and with pistol in hand they proceed to the apothecary shops and demand the spirituous documents in question. They then take them to the physician issuing them, and put ting a revolver under his left ear, compel him to revoke the prescriptions. The despatch says that after this they go home, much to the relief of the doctors and saloon keepers. Such a method might prove efficacious here, but it would thin out the pill trade amazingly and open some vacancies in the overcrowded profession of medicine. According to church statistics published in the New York Post the value of church property in that city is, aside from the $75, 000,000 held’by Trinity Corporation, about $50,000,000. The Episcopalians rank first in wealth and second in numbers, the Catholics first in numbers and second iu wealth, the Methodists third in numbers and fourth in wealth, the Presbyterians third in wealth and fourth in numbers, the Hebrews fifth in num bers and in wealth, and the Baptists sixth. The highest salary paid to a pastor is $15,000, and the lowest $1,000. It appears that Washington Irving, gent lest of writers, unwittingly instigated an In dian revolt when he wrote his “Life of Ma homet. The book was translated by a Parsee last winter and published in Bombay. The Mohametans took otrense at it, and the Par sees, and a riot resulted, lasting ten days. Even now the feeling of discontent is not stilled. Late advices from India represent the situation of affairs as critical. Mahometan ism has made rapid progress there during the last few years, and its professors are uneasy and aggressive. iTappears from customs statistics that a very large proportion of the wine imported into this country and labelled with the names of famous vintages is of the very lowest grade, costing less than forty ceuts a gallon in the land of its manufacture. In the majority of cases where our self-styled epicures are smacking their lips over what wine merchants are pleased to call Yquem and Chateau Lafitte, they are probably drinking very Dasty wine and water. Heretofore there has been no little ob jection to those ocean steamers which have been lengthened by building a new section in amidships. The Europe, which turned out so badly, is one of that class, and there are a large number of them, including several of the Cunard line sailing to Boston. At last the House has passed the Senate currency bill by a vote of 142 to 102. It is said to be the “worst patched” bill that ever became a law. We shall now see what the President will do. The House did its worst yesterday, passing all the objectional features of Mr. Maynard’s free banking bill for one measure, and the Senate curency bill for another. Else where will be found both bills. Current Notes. rZ*hG jNt*W TOnc tuiiuo—tViat Gen. Bugler’s ruling passion is not avarice or cruelty or ambition but an unfaltering life long determination to prove that a coal hole is a snow bank. He would forego the Presi dency to show that two and two make five, We think Gen- Butler has an ambition to ap. pear as a coal hole in a snow bank. As if in obedience to orders the Butler or gans of the country from Boston to Washing ton have begun simultaneously to abuse Gen eral Hawley and the Courant. Fortunately their number is few, their capacity weak, and their influence small. The Courant, in its opposition to Butlerism in the republican par ty, stands shoulder to shoulder with the re spectable journals of the party, such for in stance, as the Times and Post of New York; the Advertiser, Journal, Transcript and Globe of Boston; the Worcester Spy, Spring field Union, Albany Journal, Troy Times, Utica Herald, Buffalo Commercial, Rochester Democrat.

The New York Post does not imagine for a moment that the “cheap money” madness can be extirpated from the present Congress for people are not readily turned into a new path simply because it is the path of right. Political parties founded on a moral idea al ways have suffered and probably always will suffer many defeats before obtaining a single victory. The New York Mail says Butler is not so much a “mouth-piece” for the Administra tion as he was. He tried to win a trick with out even a “pair” in his hand, and Cox “call ed” him. Cruel. The Springfield Republican says that the Butler organs, if they keep on abusing'Gen Hawley, will run the risk of making that gentleman a formidable candidate for the Presidential succession. The gentlemen who started the unfortunate Liberal party now as unfeelingly deride it as if it was not their bantling. The Cincinnati Commercial—one of the founders—notes that a negro was shouting in the streets, election day, for “de liberal party,” but no one could tell him, and then adds: “It was a lovely child as tar as it got, but it did not get far enough.” The Boston Transcript says the President can regain the good will of the country by using his influence against the thieves and imbeciles in influential places. Washington News and Gossip. NOT INFLATION AFTER ALL. There has been much stir among both the leading friends and chief opponents of the sen ate currency bill, over the calculations made by'Comptroller Knox in regard to its opera tion, and communicated by him in response to private inquiries as to its real effect upon the currency. These calculations show that with the Scott amendment, requiring one quarter of the reserve to be kept at home, the bill really becomes one requiring immediate contraction, upon its passage, to an amount nearly equal to the increase of bank currency authorized by the bill. It further appears that while con tractions must take place at once, the issue of new currency will be very gradual. These cal culations have surprised both the friends and opponents of inflation. The expansionists were totally misled as to the effect of the ScStt amendment, and its friends are almost equally surprised, as they seem not to have aimed at producing any such contraction. As the comp troller states the case, the seuate bill now pendiug in the house authorizes the increase of the national bank currency $4(1,000,000, but requires one quarter of the amount of reserves of the iianks of redemption to be held in New York city, instead of one-half the amount as under the existing law; and in the case of the county banks, one-quarter instead of three fifths, as under the existing law. The bill will largely increase the amount of cash reserve to be held by banks. The Right of the State to tax Banks. The decision of Chief Justice Waite will, no doubt, bring about a change in our law re garding the taxation of bank shares. The Legislature under this decision, will have the power to assess a bank tar in the same way that the corporation tax is now assessed aud collected. This will remove a large amount of work from the local assessors and collectors.and will simplify the collection of a tax which no one pretends is not justly imposed. f he Free Banking: Bill. The following is Mr, Mayuard’s free banking bill as passed by the House yesterday: Be it erupted, etc., That section 31 of the act entitled “An act to provide a national currency secured by a pledge of Uuited Statps bonds, and to provide for tbe circulation and redue tion thereof,” apptoved ou the third day of June, iu tbe year 1864, be so amended that tb» several associations therein provided for not hereafter be required to keep amount of money whatever iiiud anv amount of their respect’ mason of the the 5“°?*^ .,v-e circulations, but at at I timet oy said sectiou to be kept aipuu j uand shall be determined bv the of deposits iu all respects as provided .or in the said section.

Sec. 5.

Sec 6.

Good News fob Owners of Wooden Ves sels.—Messrs. Ryan Kelsey of this city, have received a letter from the well known London ship broker, David Brown, written the 28th ull., which contains some matters of in terest to the owners of sailing or woodea ves sels: Freights for sailing vessels have advanced considerably in Bombay, as high as 707 having been paid to Havre, whilst for steamers they have receded,55s and 57s6d being the utmost ob tainable for Liverpool, whereas the rate by sailing ships is 5s and 7s6d a ton more. Our underwriters in London have suffered so heav ily by the Suez canal steamers that the insur ance premiums are now as high by this class of tonnage as by sailing ships via the Cape, an to" the latter^'a's fcit‘ii”rtovftf?gfBffaigHBHfwJ'iS? shipping by steam has been the saving in the cost of insurance upon valuable cargoes. The present state of the freight market in Bombay indicates ajgreat deal, aud while sailing ships in the Endian trade have for the last twelve months been doing well, steamers have, as a rule, been losing money for their owners. This is a feature which canuot be too highly appre ciated by the owners of sailing vessels, as it is only three or four years since the age of sailing tonnage was hv many owners considered to be at an end, apd iron ships particularly were offer ing in this market at exactly half their present value.

A special meeting of the Board of Trade was held yesterday morning for the purpose of expressing the sense of the Board in regard to the finances of the country, and the currency bills now before Congress. Hon. Geo. \V. Woodman, President, called the Board to order, and briefly stated the ob jects of the meeting. J. E. Hezelton and H. P. Dewery were chos en members of the Board. The President as chairman of the Committee on \Y ays and Means, made an encouraging re port and stated that the membership of the Merchants’ Exchange is rapidly increasing. Mr. YY'ashburn suggested that a suitable building be erected on the vacant lot opposite which will furnish ample accommodations for reading rooms, committee rooms, telegraph offices, &c. Mr. C. H. Haskell thought such a building would be desirable, but queried if it would pay The currency question was tlicn taken up, aud Hon. W. W. Thomas offered the tollowing preamble and resolutions: Whereas, In the opinion of this Board the passage and approval of any act to increase the issue of the paper currency of the country would not only tend to violate the faith of the people of the United States and annul the nation’s sacred pledge, but would have the effect to ag gravate the evils consequent upon the uncer tainty in the fluctuations in values of labor and commodities, thereby inflicting a grevious wroug upon every class of people by raising the prices of all articles of consumption without effecting a corresponding advance of wages, thereby doing special injury to every man and woman dependent upon wages or a salary. Therefore Resolved, That the members of Congress from this State be and they are hereby re quested to oppose the passage of any aot tend ing to the expansion of the paper currency; and to use their iufluenoa to promote a return to specie payments at the earliest possible day. Resolved, That the members of this Board do hi r by appeal ta the President of the United States to refuse his approval to any aud every bill which involves a violation of the national honor to which an irredeemable currency must necessarily lead, sooner or later, and to inter pose his veto to defeat any measures inconsist ent with the promotion of the nation’s honor and integrity. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing pream ble and resolutions be transmitted to each of the members of Congress from this State, and to the President of the United States, under the official seal of this Board. Hon. John Lynch said he agreed in general with the resolutions, but was in opposition to them in some particulars. He deprecated any further inflation of the currency, hut as much of the business of the country was based on the national bank currency he thought the govern ment was bound by its acts not to interfere to the detriment of that currency, and neither to increase nor decrease it. The matter should be regulated by the laws of trade and not by the laws of Congress. Congress has no right to exercise a governmental supervision over the business of the country, or to regulate private bunking transactions. We should not advise Congress to take any steps in this direction. The growing business of tte country may de mand more currency, and it is not wise to pro test against any increase. We must place ourselves ou the solid ground of specie resump tion, and provide for the redemption of govern ment notes. Mr. Thomas thought the proposed action ef Congress in increasing the currency by $40, 000,000 is intended to force a postponement of a return to specie payments, and so a protest against such action is urgently called for. The measure proposed will stimulate our imports, already too large, and work other evils. True, Congress can neither restrict nor create wealth but it can do a great deal of mischief. Our expenditures are altogether too large, and a further increase of currency increases those ex penditures. Gov. Washburn thought we ought to con sider these resolutions in the light of existiug oircuuistauces.Congress evidently intends to in definitely postpone a return to specie payments. This is the evil which stares us iu the face, and the evil against which we protest. The business of the country is paralyzed, aud val ues are unsettled by the dread of further ex pausiou. In many particulars he agreed with Mr. Lynch, and differed from him'iu others with great diffidence. He had no objection to a system of free hanking, but it should be coupled with the condition of certain redemp tion. Let the legal tender act be repealed. It was a great mistake of the Supreme Court iu affirming that act. The so-called reserve should have no power as currency, and we should be explicit in our expression on that point. Of course all speculators and debtors desire an increase. But the alleviation of their evils would be but temporary, for infla ti >n would bring about renewed speculation with its attendant ills. The resolution asking for a veto may not be advisable, for it supposes that the President will sign a bill violating the national honor. Mr. Lynch explained that he simply wished Congress to let the matter of increase or de crease of banking currency alone, and let tlie laws of trade regulate the matter, it is suffi cient for them to provide for resumption. He thought the present condition of affairs largely brought about by the attempt to force resump tion by contraction of the currency in 1806.— Business had become established and, invest ments made on the new i asis, and contraction unsettled all, threw laborors out of employment and injured manufacturing. In time stocks were affected. The road to resumption is evi dently not by contraction. There are towns in the South and West as large as Portland,where there is not a single bank. These places de mand and should have hanking facilities. The only solid ground is opposition to an irredeema ble currency. No matter about the volume of the currency if it be redeemable. He didn’t think the constitution contemplated a veto of an act deliberately passed. He suggested as au amendment the word “irredeemable” before “paper currency.” He was in favor of no in crease of legal tenders, but did favor a free bauking law that would do away with the pres ent monopoly and would allow the establish ment of banks iu South Carolina the same as iu Maine. He did not believe in ceutral place* of redemption because it gave facilities for locking up currency. Let the banks redeem at their counters. Gen. J. M. Brown believed that the action contemplated by Congress was disgraceful and dishonorable. He agreed with Mr. Lynch as regarded free bauking, but be protested against any further increase of legal tenders. The question at issue had beeu confused by many side issues, by many questions in political econ omy. The question is simple enough. If the Government compels me to receive greenbacks in payment of debts, then it should be obliged to take them in discharge of debts due it.— Both political parties have pledged themselves against inflation, and both political parties in Congress are supporting inflation. We must make known our sentiments to our representa tives. Mr. Washburn called for a division of the question, and it was agreed to. Mr. Haskell strongly advocated the resolu tion demanding a veto. Otherwise the resolu tions would fail to accomplish their object.— The veto power was one of the wisest provis ions of the constitution, and its use was never more urgently demanded than now. Mr Sburtleff thought it best not to instruct the President. The preamble was then passed as amended by inserting the word “irredeemable” before the phrase “paper currency,” and the resolu tions, except the one calling for a veto which was struck out, were passed without an amend ment. The Board was very determined and explicit in its views on a further increase of legal ten ders, and whatever difference may exist among its members in regard to free bauking they are unanimous in their opposition to the inflation of currency as contemplated in the bills before Congress, and strong in their desire for meas ures looking toward resumption of specie pay meuts. Iff. b. A, Annual raeetiug.

The increasing number of volumes issued from our library (exceeding 21,000 the past year), not only to members but subscribers, shows conclusively its growing popularity and usefulness; the wisdom of liberal outlays in this department, and more tliau compensates the board for their care and labor iu being the agents for furnishing pleasure and improve ment to so large a number of our citizens. A full catalogue of books in the library was is sued in the early part of the year, aud a sup plement is now ready for gratuitious distribu tion.

Respectfully submitted in behalf of the Board, Charles H. Haskell, President. After the reading of the report short speech es were made by several members present, con gratulating the association upon its success in the past, and offering suggestions for its future course. The need of better facilities for the accommodation of the library and for committee rooms was dwelt upon, and meas ures looking to the securing a new building recommended. The following vote of thauks was passed: Resolved, That the thanks of the association be tendered Messrs. Henry Littlefield, Wm. R. Wood, John C. Small, and Fred, E. Jones, who to-night retire from the Board of Directors, for the untiring zeal displayed by them in the dis charge of their ardnous duties.

There were many ladies in the audience, who seemed delighted at a variety show free from obscenity or vul garity. _ Maine Boating Association —The Maine Boating Association held its third annual meet ing at the Preble House last evening.

Howe: Dear Sir—Please send us by steamer ten gross Arabian Tonic and Milk Cure in usual proportions. This will make 22 gross that we have had within thirty days, which we think is uuequaled in the sale of any new proprietary medicine; aud as the sales of late are larger than ever, we think we shall want another sup ply very shortly. Yours truly, W. F. Phillips Co. This success is indeed unequaled, as Messrs. Phillips Co. say.

Nf.w York, April 14.—The Times Washing ton despatch states that the inflationists boast that they will pass the’r fluanee bill in the House to-day,and to do so they will have to sus tain Maynard’s proposition prohibiting any fur ther amendments. A Washington despatch to the Herald states that President Grant considers it desirable that the government return to specie payments as s'-on as practicable. He thinks that the na tional banks should retain as a reserve either the whole or a part of the gold interest accru ing upon the bonds pledged as security for their issue, and the Treasury, he thinks, should similarly strengthen itself with a view to re sumption. He is opposed to inflation on gen eral principles, hut it would he offensive for him to intimate to JCongress what he would do in the event of a financial bill being present ed to him for his signature. Proposed Ke-Organizntiou of the Treas ury Department. The Committee on Civil Service Reform have authorized a bill to be reported to the House, re-orgamziug the Treasury Department, which reduces the present force over 300 and reduces the expenses nearly 8400,000 per annum.

Washington, April 14. Air. Frelvughuysen of New York, from the i Committee on Judiciary, reported back the civil rights bill introduced on the first day of the session by Air. Sumner, with an amend ment and recommendation of the majority of the committee that it be passed as amended. Placed on the calendar. Several bills and memorials were introduced, including a bill establishing a natioual railroad bureau, for the general government of railroads. The bill grantiug certain privilegs to Alem nouites was taken up and advocated by Mr. Wiudam, but was opposed by Messrs. Edmunds of Vermont. Clayton and Ferry of Connecticut. The bill was discussed till the expiration of the morning hour. Mr. Kelley, from the Committee on Military affairs, reported favorably on the House bill to authorize the Secretary of War to ascertain the amount of expenses incurred by the States of Oregon and California,for the suppression of the Indian hostilities in 1372 aud 1873. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Morrill of Vermont, from the Finance Committee, reported with amendment the bill to establish an assay office at Helena, Aloutana. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Fenton reported resolutions of the Union League Club, deprecating an inflation of cur rency. Referred to Finance Committee. Mr. Scott, from the Fiuance Committee, re ported with amendment a bill ameudatory of the bill introduced by Mr. Conkling in January in relation to individual rights ofstockholdera in national banks. Placed on the calendar. Air. Carpenter moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of the bill to provide for a new election in Louisiana. Mr. Sherman hoped the bill would uot be taken up. He did not desire to prevent any senator from making a speech on the subject at the proper time. He would move to lay it on the table. Mr Carpenter said he meant business and wished the Senate would either pass the bill or kill it. He did not bring it here for a foot ball, that speeches might be made, but for actiou the blil was taken up. Mr. Frelinghuysen made* legal argument as to the powers of the President under the Con stitution, and contended that an appeal made to him to interfere in Louisiana was one he was compelled to heed, being sworn to execute the laws. He quoted at some length from tlfe tes timony taken by the committee to show that in a number of districts the rote for McEnery was larger than the number of white registered The evidence clearly showed that Kellogg had a majority of legal votes cast. In conclusion he argued there could be no possible propriety for Congress ordering a new election. Air. West being entitled to the floor, yielded to Mr, Morton for a motion for au executive session. Mr. Ingalls introduced to a bill to regulate the bills for goods, supplies and transportation on account of Indian services. He said the bill prepared by the Secretary of the Interior and approved by the Committee on Indian Affairs was placed on the callendar. The Senate went into executive session and at 3.30 adjourned. HOUSE. A bill was introduced for the reorganization of the Treasury Department, for a commission to reorganize the customs service,for abolishing the office of appraisers of imported merchandise at Providence, Portland, Cleavland, Milwau kee and Pittsburg, and stipulating that there shall be bnt one apDraiser of imported mer chandise at Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charles ton and Savannah. After a colloquey between Messrs. Dawes of Alass., Conyer of Mich., Evans and others, and amendments being offered but not adopted, the bill was passed. Mr. Creamer of N. Y., introduced a joint resolution submitting to legislatures of States an amendment to the Constitution of the United States; referred to the Judiciary Com mittee. The House took np the currency bill, and Mr. Butler of Alass., withdrew his motion to substitute the Senate b!ll for the House bill, giving as his reason that he had been assured by the Chairman of the Banking Committee that after this bill had pass'd he would move to go to the Speaker’s table and take up aud pass the Senate bill. This statement was con firmed by Air. Maynard. Several amendments were offered and then Air. Maynard moved the previous question on the bill aud amendments. This was seconded —114 to 83—and the main question ordered. The first vote was ou the following amend ment of C. R. Hoar of Wis. Sect. That from and after the 4th of July, 1876, nothing but gold and coin of the United States shall be legal tender for payment of any debts thereaf ter contracted. Sect, That from aud after the 4th of July, 1876, every holder of United States notes shall have the right to exchange them at the Treasure of the United States in sums of 100 or auy mul' iple thereof for bonds of U. S. coupon or registered bearing interest at the rate of 4J per cent, a year payable semi-aunu ally, which bonds shall be redeemed after ten years from date at the pleasure of the United States, aud payable thirty years from their date, principal and interest payable iu gold. Notes so exchraged shall be cancelled and da strayed and not reissued, and no new notes shall be issued in lien thereof. The amend ment was rejected—yeas 70, nays 171. The next vote waJ on the ameudmeut otter ed byMr. Foster of O,, providing that whenev er nTUTmnvr traTTX: nine circulation shall exceed $400,000,000, legal Under notes shall be redeem ed and cancelled to the extent of 25 per cent, of such excess uutil the outstanding aud unpaid legal tender notes shall be reduced to $300,000, 000. Rejected—yeas 105, nays 133. The question then recurred on the bill re ported by the committee. It was ordered to be engrossed aud read the third time without the yeas and nays. The House proceeded to vote on its passage. The bill was passed—yeas 128, nays 116. Mr. Butler of Alass then moved to proceed to the business ou the Speaker’s table. Car ried. The first busiijpss was the veto of t private bill. The veto was read and referred to the Committee ou Military Affairs Various other bills and executive communi cations were taken up and referred. Finally the Sonate bill to amend the national currency acts and to establish free banking was reach ed. Mr.G. F. Hoar made the point of .order that it must receive first the consideration in Com mittee of the Whole for reasons among others that it was a bill to increase the public debt. Mr. Garfield made an additional point that the rule provides that no motion or proposition for a tax or charge upon the people shall be discussed the same day in which it is made or offered. The Speaker refused to rule on the former as out of his scope, and the question being sub mitted to the House it voted that the bill was properly in its possession. He overrulled the point of Air. Hoar on the ground that the ex pense of printiug the bills was paid by the banks. Mr. Maynard then moved the previous ques tion on the passage of the Senate bill as it was seconded 121 to 30. The bill then passed—yeas 140, nays 102. The text of the bill is as fol lows: Sec. 1st. That the mazimum amount of U. S. notes is hereby fixed at $400,000,000. Sec. 2d. That $46,000,000 in notes for circu lation in addition to such circulation now al lowed by law shall be issued to national bank ing associations now organized and which may be ordanized hereafter; and such increased cir culation still be distributed among the several States as provided in section first of an act en titled “an act to provide for the redemption of the three per centum temporary loan certificates and for an increase of national bank notes ap proved July 12th, 1870, and such national bann ing association now organized or hereafter to be organized shall keep and maintain as part of its reserve required by law oue-fourth part of the coin received bv it as interest on bonds of the United States deposited as security for circulation notes or government deposits, and that hereafter only one-fourth el the reserve now prescribed by law for uational banking as sociations shall consist of balauces due to an association available for the redemption of its circulating notes from associations in cities of redemption and upon which balauces no inter e t shall be paid. The status of the whole question now is that while the House bill has to await action of the Senate, which may or may not be favorable or may be delayed indefinitely, the Senate bill goes directly to the President for his signature. The House at quarter past five o’clock ad journed. THE EUROPE. Additional Facts and Incidents Additional Incident*. New York, April 14.— Among other inci dents of the loss of the Europe are the follow ing: The wife of one passenger went insane after being taken from the vessel and continues so. A valise containing valuables was thrown out of a boat by one of the Europe’s sailors, saying no luggage was allowed, but it was picked up by another boat. This valise con tained the watch of Miss Hunter, who was saved from the Ville du Havre. It has beeu forwarded to the family at Newport. The Europe’s passengers have sigued testi monies to Captain Lemane, testifying to his foresight in saving them and Captain Thomas of the Greece for hospitalities. Detailed statements of various persons on board the steamships Europe and Greece are in print this morning, but they are all in the mam the same as telegraphed last night. The Captain of the Europe insists that be was not allowed to return to bis ship by the officers of the Greece, but this is as positively denied by the latter. The collision between the Greece and the Enro[ie occurred after the rescue and was caused by an effort made to turn the latter around. She struck the Greece near the stern, making quite a hole, and for a short t'me there was quite a panic, but no material damage was caused. A bride named Annie Hassler, coming home to be married, gives her experience and is very sad at the loss of her wedding trousseau, which cost 8000, but is tbankfnl her life was spared. A French woman saved her pet parrot and a New York doctor saved his private bull dog, but none saved their baggage. ■A number of small children were much frightened but wt-re all saved by being fasten ed together and let down into the boats in blankets. The French purser says the cargo of the Europe was worth 2,500^000 francs. There 18,000 baskets of champagne, an immeuse quantity of valuable silks and about forty tons of sundries. Engineer Douglass of tbe Greece says the Europe never should have been abandoned. The rescued passengers of the Europe are at Castle Garden, many cf them suffering from lack of clothing. Among the passengers on the Europe was Dr. L. S. Burridge of Boston. His statement is only that great coufusion occurred among the emigrants, that he has no doubt the leak was caused by bad workmanship iu lengthen ing the vessei, and that all were kiadly treated on the Greace. the Red Claud uud Whetstone Aencieo. Omaha, Aprd 14. —Bishop Hare, chairman of the commission sent to the lied Cloud and Whetstone agencies some weeks since, tele graphs Secretary Delano from this point that the Indians are quiet. They are fairly reason able notwithstanding the irratableness conse quent upon their late turbu.ence and the arri val of the troops. There is no reason to appre hend war. Should foolish measures be persist ed in the results of the good measures of the present policy are so great that the number of Indians who would go on the war path is prob ably less by one-liah than it would hare been six years ago. €/re varan* Reported Beyond Control.

It is a notable fact that the wholesale business in Portland this season, thus far, has exceeded that ol Boston or even New York, taking into comparison the relative size of the cities. We heard a drum mer from New York ou Tue>day assert that Port laud was the busiest place he had seen, not even ex cepting New York, and that there was far more bus iness doing here than in Boston. The truth is that purchases can be made as low in this city as in Bos ton, and at much less expense to the purchaser. Our markets are pretty even with those of Boston and the traders in Maine are beginning to find it out. Business during the past week has been very good in nearly all branches, and prices have been very even and steady. Money is easy. Gold, which up to Tuesday had been steady at 113*^113J, advanced to 114*. Appies are getting scarce and $6 50@7 CO is obt$un ed for choice lruit; dried apples are in better de mand.
