It is thought that new shops will bo rebuilt at once. Washin?ton, February 4?Evening. In tbe Hoti io, tho army appropriation bill was under consideration. Hol man, of Indiana, offered un amendment pro? hibiting payment to land-grant rail? roads for th? transportation of troops und supplies, leaving to railroads the right to suo for tho same in the Court of Claims. After same hard knocks be? tween Holman as a domagoguo, und Holmau holding up Hoar as tho paid attorney of. base corporations, the amendment wus adopted. On motion of Coburn, of Iudiaua, an amendment was udopted iu regard to tho Southern rail? roads which purchased rolling stock and material from the Government in 1805? that the Government refuses to give an order for payment on tho Post Office Department. Another amend? ment abolishes the mileage to officers, und limits them to their actual traveling oxpenses. The amendments were adopt? ed in committee of tho whole, and have to be voted on again in the House. Hodges, from Arkansas, was .admitted to Ids eeut on prima facie right, und sworn in. The Southern Trans-Conti? nental Railroad bill and the bill extend? ing the time for presenting claims to the Southern Claims Commission were reported, and on-points of order, buried in committee of the wbolo. In the Senate, Fenton presented tbo potitiou of business men of New York .?' TTT??~'?I-1-?-p-?;-? (or a speedy return to specie pay men ta, and depreoating the farther issue of legal tenders. The oashraptoj till was resumed. There was pending an amendment, (being that of Oleaby,) to strike oat tlie words "or who has stopped or has suspended and not re? sumed payment of his commercial pa? per, within a period of forty days, so that persons of that class should not pe oonsiderel baukmpts." Edmunds op? posed the umeudmout, and argued that the bankrupt law would amount to no? thing without such a provision. Logan favored the adoption of the-amendment, and said if tho business mnn should be unfortunate, and oonld not meet his pa? per for a few dayt-, it should not be in the power of the creditors t ? Jrivo him into bankruptcy. He was opposed to tbe prinoiple of baukrupt Iuwh, as he did not believe thuy insured fair dealing between men. No man should be forced into bankruptcy uuless the amount claimed agaiust him bo ut least $2,000 oi $3,000. Tbarman argued that the amer ..ment of the committee was moro liable than the old bill, where the pe? riod was fourteen days. The commit teo now proposed to fix the period at forty days. Tbe English and Froacb bankrupt laws were even more strict than our old law. Tbe bill now pro? posed by the committee was the most liberal uf any commercial country on tbe faoe of the earth. Ogiesby said he offered hia ameudmeut in tho interest of a just and fair bankrupt law. He did not think it judicious to fix tbe number of days by which an honost business mau should be forced from his occupation uud driveu into bankruptcy und disgrace. He could pursue with the bankrupt luw, or any law, the class of persons who were doing .business dishonestly, and oonstantly endeuvoring to csaupe tbo payment of honest debts. With tbo exception of the portion he desired to strike out, he beliovod the amendments of tbe committee were just and fair, and the people of tho whole country would bo satisfied with it. Freiing huyseu, of New Jersey, argued that tho adoption of tho amendment would be detrimental to the baukrupt law. With that provision in, over-trading would be prevented. Business men, knowing that their paper must bo mot, would trade carefully. Edmunds said, by leaving the provision in, an honest debtor who wuited to meet bis paper could not bo pounced upou and forced into bankruptcy by some avaricious t?ud grasping creditor tho next day, but would bo protected for forty days, by which time he might recover his stand? ing. Thurmun said, of all the letters received from various parts of the country by members of the Judiciary Committee, not one complained of tho amendments being too harsh. The only four ho had was, the bill was so much in favor of tho debtor class; but there was a contingency of tho whole law being inoperative. Tho motion of Ogiesby, tostriko out the words above indicated, was rejected, by a voto of 31 nays to 13 yeas Sherman moved an amendment limiting the operations of the thirty ninth seotion uf tho original law, us amended and reported by the commit? tee, to persons owing over $3,000. He argued that in small cases, creditors got little or uothing, and unnecessary penalties wore iufltcted on tbe debtor. He said if that amendment should not be adopted, he would Submit another, to extend tho period of forty duys within which a person, having stopped or sus? pended, and not resumed payment of his commercial paper, should not be forced into bankruptcy, to ninety duys. Thurmun opposed the amendment of his colleague (Sherman) to the bankrupt law, though he thought it a matter of little importance, ns thore bad been very few eases whore the indebtedness did not exceed $3,000. Ho gave notice that, at the proper timo, he would offer an amendment to the original law, so as to provide for the proving of accounts befor" a Justico of the Peaco or Notary Public, instead of before a Registrar in Bankruptcy or u United States Commis siouer, as now provided. Pending the discussion on Shenmuu's umuudmenr, the Senato, at 1 35, adjourned* Stockton, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported a bill authorizing the President to restore Win. Kibeuui to to the navy of the Unitod .States as en? sign, which was placed on the calendar. The President bus signed the bill connecting the Capitol with tho various departments by telegraph.

The War Department is unearthing paymaster defalcations during tho war.

It was represented that bo lost this sum in gambling in 1302, and quite a largo amount was recovered from tho gam? blers with whom ho played. His sure? ties compromised by paying $10,000. William Molntyre, with Asa Holt, were ascertained, in tho year 18G5, to bo engaged iu speculations with the publio mouoy, Their final accounts showod Molutyro indebted $100,181, and Holt $55,321?sunk in speculations in tho gold murket.
