ItthaH be the duty of the Secretary oi War to discontinue operations of the Bureau in any Stat®, whenever any State shall be fully restored in its.constitutional relations to the Government of the United States, and shall be duly represented in the Congress of the United States, unless upon advising with Commissioners of the Bureau, and upon full comparison of the Condition of freedmon's. affairs in such State, the Secretary erf War shall be satisfied that further continuance of the Bureau shall be necessary, prpyided, however, that the educational division of said Bureau shall not be affected or in any way interfered with until such State shall have made suitable provision for the edu cation of the children of freedmen within said State.

3. Unexpended balances in the

hands of Commissioners may be applied for the education of freedmen, and defines and subjects to provisions of law applicable thereto.

Sic. 4. Officers of the Veteran Reserve Corps, a volunteer service now on duty in the Bureau, as Assistant Commissioners, Agents, medical officers or other capacities, who have been or may be mustered out of service, may be retainod where the same shall be required for the proper execution of the laws as officers of the Bureau on such duty, and the same salary, compensation and all advances from the date of their appointment as now provided by law for the respective grades and duties at the datos of their muster-out and discharge, and such officers so retained shall have respectively the s&me authority and jurisdiction as now conferred on officers of the Bureau by the act of Congress passed 16th of July, 1866.

Mr. Eliott spoke in advocacy of the bill. The morning hour expiring the bill went over tiil to-morrow.

The Senate amendmont to the House bill to fiicilitato the payment of soldiers' bounties was non-concurred in and a Committee of Conference appointed.

The House took up the bill for the admission of Alabama. Mr. Farnsworth, a member of the Reconsti uction Committee, opened the debate by a speech in its support, contending that although reconstruction laws required a majority of registered voters to vuteon the Constitution, the State should nevertheless be admitted. First, because that provision was unusual and improper and second, because intimidation was said to keep voters from the polls. Mr. Farnsworth allnded to statements made in affidavits to that effect, whereupon Mr. Wood inquired, assuming all statements to be true, would it warrant a violation of tlj«Jaf8-of Congress,

Mr. Farnsworth repliedTin the affinitive, both for himaelf and Committed. Mr. Logan inquired how the fundamental condition in the bill, that universal suffrage' should not be denied or abridged, could be enforced?

Mr.^Fairnsworth replied, a State could coo?%jb.on that, and would ba bound by it.

Mr. Wood inquired how/a State, if now admitted and should afterwards deny, or .abridge the right of suffrage on account of color, could be taken out of the Union?

Mr. Farnsworth was not disposed to take her out of the Union again, out Alabama would be stopped from going behind the bill fprher admission. 'Mr.'Loan inquired the number of white votes cast in the Alabama election.

Mr. Farnsworth could not inform him, but stated+thare were 30,000 white men in Alabama in full accord with the liberty •loving people of the State.

Mr Stevens (Pa.) stated that 1,000 men voted against the Constitution, and they were supposed to be white men.

Mr. Loan asked what assurance there was if Alabama were admitted that she wottldnotptfterthe n^Xt election, be in the hand# 9! the-rebels..

Mr. Farnsworth said there was enough to satisfy the Committee that a vorj large mnjrtfityof the people of Alabama were in favor of the Constitution.' Ho alluded again to the intimidation exercised and threats Used in rebel papers against all who voted for it,

Mr." Ross inquired whether loyal blacks in Alabama were in the habit of reading rebel papers.

Mr.. Farnsworth replied, layal blacks wcre usuaUy as capable of reading rebel papers or any others as disloyal whites in bis colleague's district.

Mr. Bo.yer inquired whether any witnesses had been examined before the Committee or whether the f«ct3 stated did not rest entirely on

Mr. Kerr asked whether Congress had before, in the admission of a State reserv ed the right to repeal the acts of such

it farnsworth suggested that in the admission of the gentleman's own State, Indiana, conditions had been imposed.

Mr. Kerr admitted there was a condition relative to taxation of public lands, but any vioalation was to be remedied in the courts and not by another law of Congress. The Speaker would bear him testimony that/the' courts had furnished that remedy.

Mr. Farnsworth asked where the courts got authority. Mr. Kerr—They got it from the Con-

Mr. Arnold next spoke in support: of the bill. The bill was laid aside temporarily, Mr. Farnsworth stating that a vote would be asked to-morrow.

The Speaker presented a communication from the Secretary of War, with a letter fram Gen. Meade, showing' the necessity of an additional appropriation to carry out the reconstruction acts referred to the Committee on Appropriation.

Mr. Paine introduced a bill to reimburse Milwaukee for expenditures in the harbor of that city referred to the Com^% mittee on Commerce.

Mr. Van Wick, from the Committee on Retrenchment, made report on the reported fictitious destruction of bonds in the Treasury, which he asked be laid on the table and printed.

Mr. Logan asked whether the report embraced the testimony. Mr. Van Wick said it did not. The Committee did not deem it necessary to incur the expense of printing testimony.

Mr. Logan objected to reading 'the re* port unless the evidence was also printed and read that evidence would show ihe was justified in making the statement, notwithstanding the very evening the Inquiry was ordered, a telegram had bden sent to the Associated Press that his statement was without foundation. He did not mean to permit any imputation to be made on his veracity.

Mr. Van Wick explained that having in company with Mr. Lafiin called on Gen. Spinner the same evening and ascertained there was no fraud or suspicion of fraud in the matter, he thought it his duty not as a member of the comtfiittee but as a member of Congress, as a citizen of the United Statea to make the faicts known and relieve the alarm and apprehension which the statement of tlie gentleman from Illinois, was calculated! to produce.

Mr. Beck inquired when and wheira if Wasxead.

Mr. Hulburd replied It was read Saturllay night, at tha me«ting? ,helc at the CI kairman's room.

Mr. Beck declared neither he qr collea gua, Mr. Brooks, had notice af-siny such meeting. He went on to argue again at the bill, even admitting for the purp MO of argument that all the Reconstruction laws were constitutional, ha claimed under those laws that even tha constitution of Alabama had been rejected.

Why should this bill ba pasted«adW, wbea, if the assertion were true that tha majority of the votors of a 8taW were ia favor of this Constitution, it would be sent back and voted on again

Wat It

because it was necessary to have two All ibaoia Senators to vote for the impeach' meat of the President? Surely that would not be avowed. He warned Cangresa of the danger of putting*' tofO'miich power in the hands of General Grafi^, a, man who had not shrank from sacrificing 10, 20, or 30,000 men in the various littles of the Wilderness, lest it might turn' out that he might be to Congress w^at Cromwell was to the Long Parliaments

He proceeded to explain in detail how the misapprehension had arisen! A somewhat heated colloquy took place between Logan and Van Wick, the former contending that injustice had baen done to him, that the evidence which sustained his statement should be published, and the latter claiming he had only been influenced bv the public aspect of the, question, and had not deemed the veracity of tiie gentleman from Illinois to jbe called in question at all.

Mr. Lafiin corroborated the statemdntof Van Wick. Mr. Welker, a member of the Committee, disclaimed any idea on the part ?f the Committee of suppressing that evidence.

Mr. Van Wick said the evidence vfill. be ready to-morrow morning, and ha did not want the report read till then.

Mr. Halsey, another member of the Committee, said he had just seen the clerk who reported the testimony, And that be could not have it transcribed thw evening. 1

Mr. Logan attained the floor and da? fended his own position he declared that if the Treasury Department wore charged with anything it had its atfior^ neys at both ends of the Capitol to c&tke a man down and cover him overvti slime.

One would snppose, he said, that th'e Treasury Department was filled with angels, with arch angels, Michaels, and-that' there wa) no such thing as corruption there. He asked the Committee Jv Retrenchment to state whether or not it had knowledge of the fact thiit the Treasury Department had redeemed $70,000' of counterfeit bonds bomejtime ago, which fact had not been tnado public.

Mr. Yan Wick said when the question came up on inquiry it would ba answered.

Mr. Logan, referring to the fact in-re-gard to the certificates of the destruction of $18,000,000 of bonds, related

He supposed it was done to cover up,a reported loss of 2,000,000 bonds.
