Wsarwnorox, Jan. 14.-The followeag is the
bureau bill Introduced yesterday. Section first
continues in force the act of March 3, 1865, one
year from July 16, 1868, with modiAoations con
tained in this bill.
Section second authorizes the secretary of war,
at his discretion, to discontinue the operation of
the bureau when a State is folly restored to its
constitutional relations in the Union, and is rep
resented in Congress, provided, however, that
the edncational bureau remaintr ndlsturbed until
such State shall have made suitable provisions for
the edueatien of freedmea.
Section third provides that unexpended bal
anoes shall be applied at the discretion of the
commissioner to educational purposes, subject to
the provisions of the law applicable thereto.
Section four authorizes the commissioner of the
freedmen's bureau to retain in the bureau, when.
ever their services are required. officers. medical
men, etc., who have been or may be mustered out
of the military service, with the same pay, com
per sation and allowances that they previously re
ceived.
The Supreme Court had before it the case of
Johb K. Elgee, aluministratrix. plaintifi in error,
ver us Oliver Lovell. Elgee, it appears, was a
member of the Louisiana seoession a iven
tion. In 1't4 about 400 bales of cotton belonging
to him was seizeo in Mississippi by an agent of the
treasury department, a abandoned property, and
transferred to Mr. Lovell, also a treasury agent,
and under the provisions of the law removed to a
State not in insurrection. Suit was brought in a
Missouri court to recover the property. home
time after the commencement of legal proceed
ings, Elgee availed himself of the amnesty procla
mation of the president, by which he claimed he
was restored to all his rights of property, and
among others his right to the cotton. Distin
guiehed counsel are employed on both sides of the
question, Attorney General Stanbery appearing
for the United States, in company with Messrs.
Hughes and Drake, who were retained by the
secretary of the treasury.
The Tribune opens an editorial on Congress as
follows: " The House and Senate are doing nobly.
Ibe restoration of Mr. Stanton was plucky, and,
at the same time, prudent. The passage of thq
bill in reference to the Supreme Court was
timely. Now let the reconstruction bill go through,
and we shall have an end of this Hancock busi
ness, wish Sheridan back in New Orleans and
Sic) lee in Charleston." It adds: " This is no time
to split hairs or chop logic, or dawdle over the
mere technicalities of precedent. The work must
be dote. We most reconstruct the South in spite
of the president. We must override him, and if
he persists in this fatal and deplorable course, he
must be swept away as an impediment to recon
struction."
A paper has been circulated in Congress signed
"by many Republican senators and congresemen,
urging Stanton not to resign. There is no proba.
bilit3 of his immediate resignation and nothing has
been letermined ,y the president relative to
Stanton. It was mentioned in the cabinet to
day, but not formally discussed.
The president did not receive the certified copy
on which Stanton and Grant acted until ! o'cl)ck
this morning, and at half past 10 Grant formally
resigned his office to Stanton, and at half-past Ii
the president received a note from Grant quoting
the Senate resolution, adding that under the ten
ure of office bill Grant considered himself no
longer secretary of war ad interiLm.
bhe president asserts that Grant repeatedly as
sured him that he (Grant) would take no action
without informing the president, but would leave
the war department as At was whes Grant assumed
the secretaryship, namely, vacant. The president
accurcs Grant of bad faith. At this hour nothing
has been decided on by the president.
'WAsliiGToo,, Jan. 13.-This morning's Inielli
gerner Pays: " It t nunderstood that within a
Jew hcure after the reception of the dis
patch announcing tl:e removal by General
Meade of (;Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, on
account of his relusal to sanction the payment
of the G;ergia negrro convention out of the State
fonds, Gen. Grant expressed the opinion that
tGen. Meade had acted hastily and should not have
removed Gov. Jenkins, and that the convention
had no righ.t to be paid out of the State treasury."

ciffered the following:
"*'WisAo, Much protracted debate and loss of
time results from the diversity of opinion relative
to the character of our government and its funda
mental laws., it is desirable that the sense of the
convention be taken on such questions, the settle.
ment of which by its vote may arrest this evil;
therefore,
'"Resolred. That according to the prinoiples,
laws and Constitutions of our State and national
governments, all legislative acts paased acoording
to constitutional forms are binding and valid as
constitutional law, which all individuals, corpora
tions and officers are bound to obey from the time
of their enactment until rendered void sad non
effective by judicial decisions that they are uncon*
stitutional."
This resolution elicited a protracted debate and
was adopted by ,2 to 14.

;en. Scott, commissioner of the freedmen's
bureau, issues a circular letter to-morrow, an
ncunciug that the government has again devolved
upon him the duty of distributing food among the
destitute people of this State, for the double pur
pose of relieving suffering and preventing a recur
rtnce of like destitution. Relief will be granted
to the lull extent allowed by the government, but
only to the extremely destitute and those who are
a!tout to plant a sufficient area in cereals to Insure
their Irovisions for next year, and who have reav
sonable prospects of being able to repay the gor

assistance will be given to parties engaged wholly
or to an undue extent in the cultivation of cotton.

was excessively amusing to those who wit

committee held another mseeson ltal evening, Mr.
Joubert in the chair, and the following members
present : Mesars. Sterry, Beight, May ne
Usuebe. The testimony for the defbme weelro
menced:
Mr. lrocdilow sworn-I scre tary. of the
streets and iandings ommittee; keeps a record
of the certificates of the comemlee. Witness
roduces book and find that the ertioate of P.
arquez for 3174 96 was approved on the
mf August, 186?. When suob onrtifloates are ap
proved they are seat to the fnane commlttoe;
ometimes to the office of the street oemmtsIoeer;
snetiemes they are takes to the latractorn
themselves. Witness cannot say what became
of the certificate above mentioned. Wit
se has nos recollectien of over giving this
certilcate to Marques or Correjolles. Does
not know Correjolles only by name. The oertle
cafes when given showed conoluaively that th
wetk was done; they are generally senat to the
finance committee; witnes does not remember to
whom he sent the cert9Wete; it should, aceerg
to the routine of business, have gene to the
finance committee, but he reiterates that he ea
not say where it wenoot.
S"oss examined-Questfon by Judge (bOses-
I see that the ten per oest certificate for the Piut
and Fourth Districts Is entered asapprovedon the
16th of Augost; I see the ame certificate i the
name of Frank Marqoues, amounting to 8$2,799 9,6.
again approved on the 20th September. In the
first entry it is approved as belonging ,to MoCal
loch. Can you explain why this double approval
was required?
Anvwer-Witness should judge that they were
two dierent certificates; by referring to the cero
tificaes would be able to answer the question.
Witners has never kept accountofcertlfioates. As
far as the signing wa concerned, they sometimes
came to his office before being signed by the
street commissioner. Witness is required to
furnish the secretary of the finance committee
with a list of all items wherein Mr. Marques's
neane appears on his books since July last.
Major Carr sworn-Be is secretary of the
finance committee; has charge of the boots and
records. Contractors' certificates have to be ap*
proved by the finance committee before they are
paid. He has the book now. Being asked to
refer to the ten per cent. certificate for repairs,
he ays that it was approved on the 2d of Sep.
tember, 1867, for $3174 96. When a certificate I
approved by the finance committee, as a general
thing witness takes it himself to the controller's
ofice, except, however, when a party Is in a
hutry and desires to take it over himself. Wit
ness never turned over to the street commasioner
approved envtieates exeept es one eeeaion,
which he considers was an error. The fiance
committee never approves a certilcate unless
signed by the street commissioner, that is when it
relates to his business. The secretary of the
streets sad landlngs committee generally brings
up oertificates from the street commissioner's de
partment Witness does not remember a single
case where a certificate bame direct from the
street commissioner's department to the faaoon
committee.
Cross-examined-Wltness has no recollection
of habst be did with the eertioate of Marques.
Does not know whether he gave it to Marques or
Corretolles. He genealsly takes the certicaltes
to the controller himself.
It clhaf--When it goes to the controller It goes
there for warrant on the treasurer. Witnees is re
quested to fornih the committee with a copy of
all entries since the first of July last, wherein the
name of Marquez appears.
Mr. Jos. P. Hornor offers in evidence original
certifi8cte of the ten per cent. paid to Marques,
and the receipt of Mr. Louney for $12 0O paid by
Dodard.
John Nelson atorn-Is city gardener slnce let
of May, 1n6 ; worked under Baker in that eaps
dtry in June and May last; knows two men by the
name of Dennis Brown sad Pat. O'Brien; ther
were working under witness's orders as laborers ;
Brown worked with witness from the 1st of Feb
roary to about lst of October ; cannot sayezaotly -
Pat. O'Brien worken of and on the whole of
summer. Both of these men worked for witnaes's
father last summer; when they worked for him
their time was not charged on the pay roll. They
worked for witness's father, to the best of his re.
collection, ln June. Wittaes did tell Denis
Brown to draw money from the city treenurp for
another man ; It was in June last that he toldhim
to do so; he told him to draw it for one Mr. Raf
her; Mr. Bafepr thinks it was about$24. Denals
Brown gave witoess the money; witness paid Mr.
Hafner the money; it was for somo seeds and
roots which he planted in the public squares;
these seeds were purchased on the Slst day of
May; cannot recollect when Mr. Baker esmonto
office; witness has now ad prodaces the re*eipt
ot Mr. Baoer; the receitpt of offered in evideace.
C,,ss srtm,eIe-Those seeds and roots were
lantted in lhe Iouglas Square, and a portion In
sckson: none were planted in the garden of
witness's father; this was the only occioun upon
which witness has ever causned money to be
drawn; never had Mr. Tens Barron to draw
money, nor Ned Flannigan. Witness lstill is the
eploy the ity: wte emplo e it: lm i ployed by tko
month, but some of his men, whose names are pat
down for pay for thirty one days. He has them
employed sometimes on BoSundays.
John M. Ncls,,m sworn-ls the father of Mr.
Nelson-his mother says so! Witness i a florist,
and has resided in this city for twenty-fire years;
has always followed the sas:e occupation; knows
IDennis Brown: would Itkeiy recognise him if he
saw him; Brown worked for witness for yetars,
but lately from time to time; &Brown worked for
witness last summer on two occasions; he had
another person to help him; thlinks it was
O'Brien; cannot say exactly when it was they
both worked for him, but thinks it was L June
sad September of last year.
(os.erour,aiedr -Witnes had a bill agaist
Brown for e*sItand pleae furnished him from his
nursery, aIso for wrluraLbe iows for his
place. rown is stil a hb dbt' wItas bha bat
work done for Mr. Ralthbne on Eplanade strut;
cannot asy who the men were; they might have
been to the employ of the city; they my benow.
Is not aware that be ever kd manure haled by
the city carts; witnessbs ha bd one load of manure
habsoled from Lafsyette square to his green hoese,
but cernot say whether it was by a city oart.
Dennis O'nan. fr., s'oarn-He is a outraetor
for prvig, etc. J'orty eent per yard is a fair
price for ltying round stone.
O'oss exumined-At the time mentioned It wa
worth forty cents. In 1867 he paid lobosers $2 6I
per day, i 18.6 as high as Ut. Grading a street is
les work thap paving.
Thomas Bart sror--Huas no oceoupatio at
present; is a practical paver, has been one for the
st thirty yeare; would, in November last, pave
with roar.d stones for thirty'ave cents, and would
do the same work for the price to-morow. A

yards per day of round steuse.
