" 1-The bill ' regulating "the" standard of coin in the United States upon the agree xnent of the ' recent Congress iu Paris, which had for its object the unification of coirt of all civilized nations, has been introduced : into the Senate. The new coinage is to be fixed a date in the future. 'There will be no change in the form or fineness of' the metal, but there will be a slight reduction of the weight. But slight as is the reduction proposed, it will save, on the coin now in the treas ury", some 88,500,000, and about 880,000,000 on the payment of the public debtJ The reduction in our dollar to assimilate1 with"' the ' French 'five franc piece 'will be three and a half cents in weight. ?

Bills were introduced into the Seriate, on the 6th, to settle Kansas war claims ; granting laud to the Pacific Railroad ; in regard to the coinage of gold; for tTiegravTusl r edemption of legal lenders. Resolutions have" been otfered in the House by Mr. Upson, of Michigan, that the Committee on Reconstruction report ou. the, expediency of deposing the present State, county and town oftcers in the South the vacancies to be supplied by the several Reconstruction Conventions ; also merging the several Southern States in a single military district r1 hey were adopted by "a party, vote. A resolution ofthanks-to Gen. Hancock was voted down. Tiie President, by, a , party, vote, censured for removing Gen. Sheridan, and Gen. Grant thanked for a recent com man lea-, tion by a like vote. Gen. Pubelo Pujol La been received as Minister frcm the Republic of St. Domingo, the first one received from that country. Senator Howard has completed a report backing up Stanton and condemning tho President for his removal. - Gen. T. W. Sherman of the Fifth Artillery, has been put in command of the Eastern District, in place of Gen- Meade transferred. It is claimed that Senator Howard's report on the case of Mr. Stanton will furnish the legal argument and the facts for the reinstatement of Mr. Stanton. There is a deal of opposition against the purchase of St.. Thomas, and the chances of the success of a ratific Uion by the United States Senate are by no means . Catteriug. It seems also that the people of the islaud are not riuch j incliued - towards a change of gov jrnment, being desirous to avoid the high rates of our port duties. ! The warrants issued by the Treasury j T)ei)aitmnt in the- moTvth of December! to meet the rtquirments of the Government, amounted iu round numbers to the following sums: Civil, raicellaneous and foreign intercourse, $-1,761,000; interest on the public debt, $3,300,000; j war, $12,955,000 ; navy, 63,620.000 ; interior, pensions and Indians, 8f'8 ,000. j Total, 30,621,000. ' 1 Senator Morton has proposed a-joint resolution prohibiting the Secretary of the Treasury or any other officer from j compromising with parties who defraud the revenue. ' This is legislation in the right direction. r ' In the Senate on the Qlb the bill to establish bonded warehonses for whisky was adopted. The bill for the conversion of - registered bonds into coupon bonds was killed by indefinite postponement. A bill ' was introduced putting the distribution of printed publie laws of the United States under the care of the Congressional Printer. The bill for the relief of towns in Nevada was amended and passed.1 The Senate took up the resolution to instruct the Judiciary Committee to report to abrogate the existing State governments in the South, and to provide provisional governments in their stead.1 Senator 'Morton spoke strongly of the necessity of Congress at once declaiing its position in regard to reconstruction, and charged that the very power (the military) that Congress charged with the temporary government of the South, was now contravening and denying their authority, as in the case of Hancock. No special action was taken.1 The remainder of the - session was spent in discussion of the bill to prevent contraction of the currency. - K'7 In the House, bills were introduced to amend the bankrupt law, and for the protection of witnesses.' The joint reso lution requesting the President to inter cede with the Queen of Great Britian for t Umj iclease of Father -McMahon, impris oucd fts a-Fenian at Kingston, Canada; was adopted, and similar resolutions s were adopted in reference to other Fen-p ian prisoners. The" Senate's amendment: to the bill concerning bonded warehouses for whisk' were concurred in . On a resolution to appoint a commission of five experts to examine and report upon whisky5 meters and all con-' trivanees for asnertainir.o-1.Iif' nnant.itv and strength of distilled spirits, a 'very I long andr lively debate was enjoyed. Not much was said 'about the ' meters, it is true',1 but there was a regular free fight (of words) between some half, dozen Republicans and Democrats about s .ealing and fraud! and which party was most guilty of robbing the Government. The meter resolution was riot acted j upon. ''-- - 1 - ' ' " In the House, Jan. 10, on motion it J ws3 ordered tnat the session to morrow ' be devoted to general debate. ' The House proceeded to consideration of the joint resolution under discussion yesterday, in reference to whiskj meters" on which the ' previous question had been seconded.1 After . jemarks by Messrs. ' Pile, V Woodbury, 'Marshall, Woodland Schenck, the joint resolution was passed. The Speaker presented a message from the President,' transmitting a report from the Secretary of State, in response to a resolution inquiring as to the State Legislatures ' which'had ratified the proposed 'amendment, .of he'Conslitution of the United States," known as the 14th article. ' The report says that the States which have ratified the amendment are Connecticut, New Hampshire, .Tennessee, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, New York. Illinois, " West ' Virginia i.Uio,

Kansas, Nevada, Maine, Indiana, Minnesota, Rhode Tsland, Wisconsin, Penn

sylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts and Nebraska. The House proceeded to the consider ation of the report of the Committee of F.lection on the contested election "case - j in tho First Congressional ! District ; of Kentucky, which report closes with a resolution that Smith, the contestant, is not entitled to a seat, and tuat.Mr. Trim,-, ble shall hold the seat. After three hours discussion the, resolution was adopted, and Mr. Trimble took' the oath and seat. following is the fnew whisky bill introduced by Gen. Scehnck, which passed both Houses, and was - approved by the President on Saturday, Jau.-IJ, o that it is now a law. , .(.;',- :,. jV-A.vi lie it enacted, dc, That from and after this date no distilled, spirits shall be withdrawn or removed from any ware house for the purpose of transportation, redistillation, change of package, exportation, or for any other purpose, whatever, until the full tax on isucu spirits shall have been paid. And all acts and parts of acts, inconsistent with the pnv visions hereof, are hereby repealed. In the Senate, Jan. 12 Mr. Sumner introduced a joint resolution that: Wreeeas, The amendment to the constitution proposed by the Thirty ninth Congress, known , as article 14th, has alreadj been adopted by. the -Legislatures of twenty-two States, reciting their names, and : I r ;r - , WngitKAS, By.-, the j Constitution an amendment duly proposed and r tilled bv three-fourths of the States is declared valid, therefore ' .. - - : Resolved, That said . amendment having received the requisite ratification is valid to all intents and purposes. Re-1 feiredto the Committee on Judiciary. , - Mr. Doolittlc gave notice that when Mr. Morton's resolution relative to the invalidity of the existing State Governments in the Southern States is again called up, he would move to. amend by instructing the Committee on the Judiciary, in any bill for reconstruction reported l3' them, to insert a proviso that .in any election of c-Iiicers, or for the ratification of the - Constitution, persons voting irust be possesed of one of these three qualifications : First rHave served in the army one year or more. Second Have sufficient education to read the Constitution of the United States and subscribe his name. Third Be possessed of freehold proper ty to the amount of 8250. . ; - , The proposed amendment which is substantially the resolutions heretofore ordered by him was ordered printed. Gen. Kimball akd His Tkaoucees The Madison Free Press, of this State has indulged in a column or two of low abuse upon Gen. Nathan Kimball. The whole aiticle of the Press was predicated,' however on an. if, cJf the Gen--eral said so and r so, . then the editor of the Press said so and so. The .whole thing, turns cut , to be ' tempest in a tea pot." Gen. KimbalL ujver said so and so,- and therefore tho Madison gentlemau does not say his so and so. Our - Democratic ' friends are all rather afraid of, any organization of soldiers, and particularly, of the Grand . Army of the Republic, over which, in this State, Gen. Kimball presides,. The attack of the Press , on the General we usnect, grows out of this fact. Gen. Kimball is a ; true; soldier, and by -the same rule, a true gentleman, .and we presume will not set up of nights to annoy, himself about any newspaper abuse. We don't think he will walk very far to go around the editor of the Fret Press if he is standing in his way, or that he will travel vciy far to come into any yersonal collision withrhim.?
