We were pleased to meet on the streets this morning, William II. Freeman, who as an artist, followed liis profession in this city, some twenty years ago, at which time he married one of our most charming young ladie-, Miss Jenny Douglas. Mr. Freeman has been pursuing his profession in the Eastern and (Southern cities with assiduity, since lie left here, and now stands very high as an artist.
He is stopping at W. B. Tuell'.-yind will remain in the city several days.
Yoorhees at Rockville.
It will be seen, by an article in another column, taken from the Ivockville7?rp?6fican, that Mr. Voorliees, in his recent speech there "took broad ground in favor of paying at once, in greenbacks, the o-20 bonded debt of the Government."
We hardly supposed there was a man in America who had so little financial sense as to advocate a measure of this kind. To pay the 5-20 bonds at once" in greenbacks. What a good time we would all have if such a thing should be done. There would be near $1,800,000,000 in greenbacks thrown on the market at once." Would not money be plenty'? Why, we would all.have it by the bushel. A dollar in gold would be worth a pocket full of greenbacks, and we would then have the pleasure, like the Confederates once had, of seeing payments made in greenbacks by the shovel full. Money would be plenty then, there can be no mistake about that.
We know, as every other man knows, who has looked into the law authorizing the issuing and sale of the 5-20 bonds and the cotemporaneous history connected therewith, that their redemption, whenever made, is to be with the "money" of the country, and that greenbacks being the "money" of the country, those bonds, when redeemed for cancellation, should be redeemed, dollar for dollar, in greenbacks. There can be no doubt about this being the law—the understanding of the Congress that passed the law, and the men who first bought the bonds. But, who ever, for one moment, favored redeeming all those bonds, in the money of the country, "at onec?" None but a knave or a fool, certainly.
When the Secretary of the Treasury finds a surplus on hands, after paying out what is necessary to carry on the affairs of the government in an economical manner, he should apply it to the liquidation of some of the debt of the governernment. If he redeems 10-40 bonds with it, he should redeem them in gold, for that is the law in relation to them. But if he redeems any of the 5-20 bonds, he should do it with the money of the country, whatever that money may be. But certainly he should not do this any faster than he finds a surplus in the Treasury. To issue enough new greenbacks to redeem them all at once, would be attended with a financial ruin a disarranging of values, unparalleled by anything heretofore witnessed in this country.. .,:
Happily, every day this question of, what shall the 5-20 bonds be redeemed with, grows of less importance. When gold stood at a premium of 40 and 50 and 75 per cent, then the importance was great. When gol is down to 10 and 13 per cent, premium, it is readily to be seen, there is not so much importance to be attached to it. Everything indicates now, that by the time the Government will be able to redeem many of those bonds, gold will be worth not more than greenbacks. At any rate, so few bonds, are now being redeemed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the:premium on gold is comparatively so small, that it is a matter of not much concern, in which they are redeemed, coin or currency.
But what is to be thought of a man aspiring for Congressional honors, who advocates the redemption of Sl,800,W0,000 of the public' debt, in Federal currency, "at oncci" Is he a fit representative to entrust with the affairs of thi^ people, in times when questions touching the financial condition of the country, are the most absorbing? Men of the 6tli Congressional district think of this, and do not be led into a great blunder, by specious sophisms "and artful demagogry.

WASHINGTON,
The Ss»ii Domingo Tronfy—Itevoimo Iteccijus—Tax on H'bisky and Tob.iefo.
WASHINGTON, June 30.—In going into Executive session this afternoon the Senate resumed the consideration of the San Domingo treaty. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, concluded his speech against ratification, when the Senate proceeded to vote on the amendments proposed by the President of the United States, some of which were adopted. The vote was then taken on the ratification of the treaty, and resulted in 28 yeas against 28 nays. A two-third vote being required the treaty was rejected. A number of Senators were paired, and others absent. The opponents of the measure say they could have rejected it without the aid of Democrats.
The custom receipts last week wow S3,061,038 receipts of Internal Revenue for June, S25,4'JS,758 for the fiscal year, §184,792,374.
The Committee on Ways and Means did not report to-day on the bill providing for the collection of taxes on whisky and tobacco, but will probably do so to-morrow. The whole bill will not propose a change in the existing rates of taxation on those articles. The members of the committee will advocate an increase of the tax on whisky.
It is said that the rejection "of the San Domingo treaty does not dispose of the protocol for the lease of the Bay of Samana, although if the treaty had been ratified the Sannma question would have been absorbed by it.
The project of annexing Dominica by joint resolution does not seem to be regarded with sufficient favor to secure a majority in the House.

At 1 o'clock the Senate went into executive session. At 2:10 the doors were reopened and the Senate proceeded with the tax bill, the question being on amendments to the paragraph relating to Bessimer steel, to reduce the duty on steel railway bars half a cent per pound, and also to strike out the entire paragraph.
Mr. Kdmunds was1 in favor of giving the interest sufficient protection to stimulate it to compete with British manufacturers.
Mr. Cameron opposed reduction remarking that so far not one dollar had been realized upon steel manufactured in this country.
Mr. Scott, in correction the statement that the last royalty paid, for the manufacture of Bessimer s.teel rails was S5 in gold per ton, stated upon authority of Mr. Moirill, one of the three trustees of the patent process, that since February last the royalty had been reduced to §1.50 per ton.
Mr. Davis favored reduction of duty. Mr. Pomeroy's amendment to reduce duty on steel railway bars from one and one-half to one cent per pound was agreed to, 20 to 22.
Mr. Wilson moved to make the duty one cent and a quarter agreed to 31 to 21.
The duty on all railway bars made in part of steel was then reduced from one and a quarter to one cent per pound.
An amendment to impose 2 per cent, duty on slates for roofing was rejected, 12 to 27.

HOUSE.
Mr. Upson introduced a bill to change the times of holding Cii emt. TJi^triofc Coiu-f§ of u.itteu states in the Northern TDistrict of Ohio.
The House resumed consideration of the Senate amendment to the Indian appropriation bill, the report of the Committee on Appropriations recommending concurrence in the same, and non-concur-rence in the other was agreed to as a whole, except where special votes are called for.
Mr. Ferry asked a separate vote on the amendment on which the committee recommended non-concurrence in the appropriation of §36,763 for payment to Indians in Michigan for difference between coin and currency paid to them in 1863 and 1804 under treaty stipulations, with 5 per cent, interest added thereto. He argued in favor of the amendment.
Mr. Sargent opposed the amendment, as establishing a most dangerous and costly precedent which would apply to all soldiers, sailors and pensioners and other creditors of the. government.
Oi count by tellers there were but 27 yeas. No further count. Mr. Ferry asked for a separate vote on the amendment on which the Committee on Appropriations recommended nonconcurrence in making a large appropriation under the Indian treaties of 1867 and 1808, which treaties the Fortieth Congress had refused to ratify.
He said there were fifteen or twenty of these amendments aggregating $1,500,000, and wished to have a vote ot the House on them as an instruction to the Committee of Conference, to which the bill will be referred.
These appropriations, if made, would run 30 years and cost the Government between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000.
Mr. Payne hoped the recommendation of the Committee on Appropriations would be adhered to, and expressed disapproval of the entire system of Indian treaties.
The amendments were all non-concur-red in.
Mr. Axtell asked a separate vote on the amendment increasing appropriation tor position of Woodward. incidental expenses of the Indian service Mr. Holman sustained, Brooks and in Colorado from $7,500,000. Butler opposed tho amendment, tho lat-
He opposed the amendment as intended for the removal of peaceful Indians, civilized mission Indians, vho are citizens and voters, to a reservation in San Diego county. He represented the movement as a speculative one, to secure the farms of those mission Indians.
Mr. Sargent endorsed the remarks of his colleague. The Senate amendment was non-con-curred in.
Mr. Degcner asked a separate vote on the amendment in which the Committee on Appropriations recommended concurrence, forbidding deductions from Indian annuities on account of depredations.
He argued against the amendment, taking the ground that the principle thus abrogated was correct and the common sense way of dealing with Indian depredations.
Mr. Wilkinson argued in the same direction. Mr. Sargant argued in support of the amendment, contending that the existence of such a question stimulated the getting up of claims for Indian depredations, and illustrating by citing the case of a Texas greaser, who, not finding a good market for his cattle, drove them through the Indian country, tempting the Indians to drive them off, and then came to Washington and made a claim before the Indian Department.
Mr. Paine argued in support of the Senate amendment, so as to avoid the allowance of unjust and fraudulent claims.
The amendment was concurred in. The House, as business of the morning hour, proceeded to the consideration of reports from the Committee on Commerce.
Mr. O'Neill reported a bill making Jersev City a port of entry. Mr. Dixon reported a bill reciting the project of building a ship canal across Cape Cod, at an expense of §7,000,000, pledging the faith of the Government to construct a suitable breakwater and harbor of refuge at the eastern entrance, at an expense not to exceed §2,000,000.
Objection being made by Mr. Benjamin that the bill made an appropriation, it was referred to the Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Sawer reported back the Senate bill to constitute unnsiiii pm-t of ioii\'erv passed.
Also a substitute for the Senate bill for improvement of water communication between the Mississippi river and Lake Michigan, by way of Wisconsin and Fox rivers.
The substitute was agreed to and the bill passed. Mr, Conger reported a bill granting to the Fvansville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company the right to build a bridge across the Wabash river.
Also a bill to amend the act authorizing construction of a bridge across the Missouri river on the military reservation at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Mr. Finkelnburg offered an amendment requiring the spans of the draw, if it be a draw-bridge, to be not less than 200 feet in the clear on each side of the central pivot.
The amendment was agreed to and the bill passed. Also a bill to amend the act of July 18, 1S6S, to prevent smuggling, relating to ship stores purchased at Canadian ports passed. 31 r. Finkelnburg reported a bill creating a port delivery at Duluth, Minnesota.
The morning hour expired and the bill went over. Mr. Benjamin, from Conference Committee on the bill defining duties of pension agents, made report. He explained that as to fees of pension and claim agents, they were fixed in this report at §10, except where written agreements are made and filed at the department in which ease the maximum fee shall be §25.
Mr. Lawrence opposed the report as allowing too large fees, but it was agreed to.
Mr. Butler, from the Committee oil Elections, reported in the Kentucky election case that Rice, the sitting member, is disqualified under the Fourteenth Amendment, that the Governor be notified of a vacancy, and that Zeigler, the contestant, be allowed expenses of the content.
Mr. Burr presented the views of the minority declaring Rice justly entitled to a scat.
The resolutions will be called up on Friday, of next week. On motion of Mr. Tafi'e the Senate bill for relief of pre-emption settlers in Nebraska was taken from the table and passed.
The House at 2:15 proceeded to consideration of the bill for the funding and consolidation of the national debt.
On motion of Mr. Schenek, a verbal amendment was made, striking out, at the end of section four, the words "at any time before the end of the notice provided for in the second section." He expressed the opinion that the Government should offer the 4 per cent, loan at par.
Mr. Blair moved to amend the first section by inserting the words, "the amount of interest specified in each coupon shall be expressed in dollars, and the equivalent thereof in sterling currency in francs."
Mr. Davis, of New York, moved to am am a
Mr. Blair advocated his proposition, showing the advantages to result from it by inducing foreign investment.
Mr. Wood opposed the bill because he
saw in it the danger of disturbing injuriously the business interests and stability of trade without effecting negotiations at the proposed rate, and for other reasons.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, opposed Mi. Blair's amendment. He did not desire the bonds to be held abroad, or to offer inducements for such a thing.
J\IT.
Brooks, of New York, advocated
the bill iu the belief that the loan would be effected at a reduced rate. Mr. Kelley opposed Mr. Blair's amendment as unbecoming in a great nation.
Mr. Judd argued the amendment was unnecessary, as bondholders purchased through brokers thoroughly familiar with the value of the American dollar.
Mr. Schenck took the same ground, and remarked that the general rate of interest paid by hepeopie would fall when the government reduced its rate.
Mr. Coburn also advocated Blair's amendment, preferring money be obtained in Europe, that the American people may use their own money in building mills, bridges, roads and railroads.
Sir. BJair's and Davis' amendments were rejected. Mr. Mayham offered an amendment to strike from the lirst section the clause exempting bonds and coupons from all taxation, but subsequently withdrew it.
Mr. Woodward, however, renewed it, arguing that this Congress could not restrain any future Congress from the exercise 01 that power.
Mr. Bingham opposed the amendmen and denied the correctness of the 1

Mr. Ingcrsol moved to make the bonds and coupons payable in lawful money, instead of coin, which was rejected.
Mr. Marshall moved the bonds be redeemable after 20 vears, instead of 30: rejected.
Mr. Coburn moved to make the bonds 50 year bonds rejected. Mr. Van Trump moved to make them 1,000 year bonds rejected.
Mr. Holman moved to prohibit the employment of agents rejected. The second section was then read.
Mr. Wood offered an amendment prohijtbing- payment of anv commission or brokerage.
