A change of date will, be made to con?

Iu the House, the usual number of
bills were introduced and referred. Iu
the Senate, West introduced a bill t >
provide for the settlement of claims ol
loyal persons, growing out of the late
rebellion; which was referred to the
Committee on Claims.
In tho House, among the bills intro?
duced was Ihead valorem tariff of thirty
five per cent, cn maocaroui and verma
colli; to proveut mul-adtniuistralion in
tho civil service by officers against whom
articles of impeachment are presented;
also to enable members of Congress to
do the public busiuosa with their con
stituonts und other departments of Go?
vernment, and to limit the franking
privilege to certain newspapers. The
bill provides that during any session oi
Congress, and for thirty days prior aud
subsequent thereto, ull written and
printed matter sent to members, and all
written and printed matter and such
other things as havo beeu ordered by
either house for distribution, s hall go
free of postago. Tho second section
provides that all newspapers regularly
printed, and not advertising bhoetti
simply, shall go free of postago through
the mails in tho County where they ure
published, but shall not bo delivered
under the free delivery system. The
third section requires alt postal mattet
to be prepaid. Tyuor, of Indiana,
moved to suspend tho rule and pass a
bill authorizing weekly newspapers tc
bo sent by mail within tho County oi
their publication, and exchanges be?
tween publishers to ho transmitted in
tho mails free of duty. The House re?
fused to second tho motion to suspend
the rules by 01 to 95, and the bill was
not received. Fort, of Illinois, made a
liko motion in regard to a bill, for circu?
lation by the Commissioner of Agricul?
ture, of books, seeds, cuttings, &c, und
the House also refused to second it by
a still larger majority.
In the Senate, Alcorn presented the
petition of the Mississippi cotton plant?
ers, lor refunding the cotton tax. Wesl
introduced a bill regarding war claims.
The centennial was resumed; several
leading Senators favoied tho holding ol
a national exhibition, but opposed an
international one. Ferry, of Connecti?
cut, in a speech in favor of the national
celebration, said on that he hoped the
North and South would come togethoi
and bury every bloody memory of the
pant; that East and West woidd forgot
they had conflicting interests, and all
thank G^l ror the goodly heritage loft
us by our fathers. No aotion was taken
on the bill.
Tbo bill introduced by Senator West,
for tbo settlement of loyal claims, pro?
vides that tbe Court of Claims shall
have sole jurisdiction of all claims |
igainst tbe United States brought by
loyal persons for all classes of 'property
destroyed, occupied, used or taken by
army and navy of tbe United States, for
and in tbo service of tbe United States;
also, tbat all persons who bave been re?
stored iu rights of person or property,
after participation in tbo late rebellion,
by reason of any amuesty proclamation
or personal pardons of the President,
and who resumed their allegiance before
tbe finul euding of tbe war, shall be en?
titled to tho benefit of tho provisions oI
.this bill. It 'alBt^aVoiishes the Southern
Claims Commission,' and provides that
'all claims now pending and undecided
by said commission, or before tbe Quar
jtermaster-Gdneral, Com missary-Geeo
|ral. Third Auditor of tho Treasury, or
other executive department of tbe Go?
vernment, shall be transferred for adju?
dication to the Court of Claims, which,
after rendering judgments on tbe same,
is required to report tbem to Congress
for its actiou iheroon; although either
the United States or the claimant can
appeal for final review to the Supreme
Court of the United States, iu ull cases
where the nmouut involved is over
83,000, so that when the notion of
Congress is bad upon the same, tbe full
equities and law of each claim shall be
made up for its determination. The
bill furthermore provides for commis?
sioners to bo appointed iu each judicial
district of tbo United States by tbe
Court of Claims. Those commissioncis
are empowered to summou witness-o-,
take testimony, employ stenographs h
and fully prepare each claim for presen?
tation to said court. Tbe Governmeut
is to be represented by tho respective
District Attorneys, and tho orders of
commissioners are to be enforced by tbo
respective United States Marshals. The
dookotof each case is to be open to iu
inspection of tbe public, when com
ipleted. Other detailed provisions guard
the rights of tbe United States and
claimants by prohibiting unnecessary
dulny after commencement of suit, and !
'enforcing severe penalties for miscon-!
duot of commissioners. Tbe oosts and
|expen?es in each case are to be borne by
the successful litigant. It is claimed
[that the enactment of this bill would
'save to the Govern: onta vast sum of
mouey, annually expended iu salaries of
employees aud other expenses, in the
various departments engaged in examiti
ling and settling such claims, besides tbe
igreat expeuses to which claimants are
now subjected, iu coming to Washing?
ton to prosecute their claims, which,
under this bill, can virtually bo pre?
pared for determiuanion iu their ie
[spective judicial districts.
