Agreed to. Mr. Allison, from tho Conference Committee On the Military Academy Appropriation bill, submitted a report, which was agreed to. Tho House having agreed to tho report yesterday, the bill now goes to the President. Bills on calendar not objected to were con sidered under the five-minute rule. The House blit for the payment of ofllcora and soldiers of the Mexican war ot three months' extra pay, provided for by the act of July 10 1848, led to a long discussion. Mr. Edmunds submitted an amendment to make the act opply to thole who served in the late War for tho preservation ot tho Union. Tho bill was laid aside without action. Pending discussion the Senate wont into executive session, and, when the doors re opened, adjourned. HOUSE. In response to a resolution the speaker sub mitted a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, transmlttlnga supplemental state ment of balances on tbe loan account In coin standing to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States Id the National Bunk deposi tories on the Ist ot January, 1870. The aggre gate amount ot balances was $40,808.1(18. The larger amounts were: First National Bank of New York, $10,107,048: National Bank of tho State of Now York, $7,155,054; Bank of New York—National Banking Association—ss,ssl,- 411; Maverick National Bank,of 805t0n.54,843,- 000; National Bank of Commerce, of New Y0rk,53,317,038; Second National Bank, of New York, 91,513,53 d: Monument National Bank, nf Boston, $1,088,531. Tho remainder Is distributed among thirty-eight banks, in sums varying from SBOO to SOOO,OOO. Mr. Wood, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, reported bock tho bill authorizing tho Issue of certificates of deposit In aid of re funding the public debt. Tho bill authorizes tho Secretary of tho Treasury to Issue in ex change for lawful money United States certifi cates of deposit ot the denomination of $lO. bearing Interest at Uie rate of 8 per cent, ami convertible at Ay time with accrued Interest Into 4 per cent bonds, authorized to bo issued, and directs that Itbo money so received shall bo applied only to tue payment of 5-30 bonds. Mr. Kelley (Fa.) submitted an amendment so as to make the certificates convertible with ac crued Interest after six months Into lawful mon ey, and at auy time into 4 per cent bonds. Mr. Wood called attention to tho bill as intro ducing a novel feature Into tho attu'.rs of the Government, so fur as tho producing classes were concerned. It would nttord the poorer classes an opportunity for Investing their small earnings where they would Ik* safe and secure, ami nut subject to the instability of private cor porations. It was proposed by this bill to make a national savings bunk where there would bo positive and absolute security for every dollar deposited by the poorer classes, and the result of which would be to inuko these classes ot peo ple copartners In the Government Itself. An other cttect of U would bo to cement fraternal concord throughout the land. Mr. Kelley said tho only provtsiou In the bill which was characteristic of a savings-bank was that tho Government would receive deporits as low as $lO. There way no other. The United States Government proposed to engage the laboring people In a game of chance, of which tho law was, *• Heads 1 win; tails you loose.'* No laboring man could have any benefit from the bill. It would turn that class Into a game fur the Bhylocka that concentrated about the Htock Exchanges of the country. Suppose a poor man had deposits! $lO and found himself unable to deposit more. He would have to wait 335 years am! four months before he would Imscii titled to Interest. That was the redemption pro loosed by the United States when It established a savings-bank. It was said (but the certificates might be sold. What would a $lO certificate, hearing 8 per cent Interest, bring, when a SSO baud at 4 percent could bo had for pari Thu laws of trade would put them fur below par whenever they had to be sold on the market. That was thn savings-bank altered Hut poor of America by a magnanimous Government. Ills amendment proposed that those certificates should be convertible ut tho end of six months, with accrued interest, Into lawful money. Without that amendment tho bill was a snare and trap for tho poor and a disgrace to the Government. With It, tho bill would bo safe for the people and beneficent lu Its elfucts ou funding operations of tbe Government. Mr. Hanks said he was lu favor ot the general provisions of the bill, but If it went Into opera tion Its first ellcct would bu to Induce depositors In savings bunks to withdraw their deposits. This would compel savings bunks to go to their securities. They must foreclose tuelr mort gages, aud their foreclosure of mortgages and sale of real estate would tako (rum the remain ing depositors nearly the whole security (hey now bad In the savings banks that were sound. Mr. Uurcburd said that, though tho bill was Put very objectionable so far as It went, ho should prefer a measure that had been reported at the last cession fur the establishment of a Government savings bunk. Hu argued in favor ot tbu latter Pleasure, and suggested that tho pending bill was lacking la tho verv essential principle of tl o saving-bank system, and that was the removal tram tbe poorer classes of tho temptation to aueud tbeir money. The certificates or bonds under tho proposed system would bu eonvertl tie into money, and would b« liable to loss, de struction, and theft. Mr. Duller opposed the bill as a delusion and a snare. The died of U would be that the pour man might spend a day every month lu Iwoeurtng a (10 bond: that when he got live of ucm together he might change them lute a 1 per cent bond; and that for that privilege ho would have to spend five duvs, and would have saved Just USW cents in Interval. That was all there was of 11. There was no element of tho savings bank in It. It had no safety, uud when the pour iiiati wauled money fur his bund he would have to go to a broker aud submit to u shave greater than the Interest. If there was anything cite lu It he failed to llud It. The ob ject of the bill was, he Intimated, lu with draw greenbacks from circulation, for there was no way of paying them out when received lor this purpose, ll would be a further cou traction of the currency. which hud already de pressed labor, stopped business, and bronchi the country to Its present condition. Ami tho result of that condition (which was said to be necessary) was the heaven-born boon of re sumption at New York and nowhere else. Mr. Hewitt (N. T.) spoke against tbe bill. Mr. Garfield said that tbe less legislation there was on finance the better. The country was getting on well, and he would not favor any radical change In tho present order of the cur rency law. Hut here was a bill that was greatly misunderstood. In the work of refunding, the S resent Secretary of the Treasury bad nban oned the Syndicate and Invited all National banks (markedly all depository banks) to take hold of the work, and aid him tn transferring tho 0 per cent bonds into 4 per cent bonds. He now nollcrcd that ho could make the work of refunding proceed yet more rapidly by going beyond the banks ami dealing with the people dlrcctlv. This bill proposed Just that thing, it was not a proposal to make a savings bank of the Treasury. The amendment of tho gentman from Pennsylvania (Kelley) put a savings-bank feature into It, but not one broad enough to (ill the Idea of a sav ings bank, white It substantially took away the purpose or refunding. Jlo believed the bill as It stood would be very efficacious tn hastening re funding. The gentleman from Massachusetts (Butler) said that the bill would distress the poor man. He (Garfield) had more faith In tho poor man. He was willing to believe that If n man determined to save 950 be could do so. One of tbcelcmcnts of strength lb France arose from the fact that 5,000,000 Frenchmen held tho bonds of France, and the dav on which 8,000,000 American laborers were bolrfcrsof United States bonds would be the day when the occupation of those gentlemen who tried to raise row Ijctwecn the bondholders and tbe pour people would bo gone. Ho was anxious for the death of demagog? ry, and that the peo ple should become Interested In tho debt of tho nation. That would be a great protection for the public credit. It would hastcu tho day for refunding tho debt. If labor and Industry were to bo encouraged the Government, must get out of the wav as a competitor for loans. Mr. Phillips opposed the bill, lie desired to offer an amendmeut providing for a deposit In any Post-Office which Is a money-order ofilco of any amount not less than 25 cents, to be for warded to tho United Stales Treasury, and an account to bo kept with the depositor, who shall receive Interest at tbe rote of 4 per cent, ami that when this sum shall amount to 110 It shall be converted Into certificates provided tor by tho bill. .... Mr, Wood declined to yield for the amend ment. Mr. Townsend (Ohio) favored tho bill. The debate buying closed. Mr. Burclnrd offered an amendment that, In lieu of the certifi cates provided for, tho Secretary of tba Treas ury shall, if desired, enter ou the books of the Treasury to the credit of any one presenting or forwarding It to the Treasury any sum not less than (I,and shall allow lutercstthereon and credit tho same quarterly at tho rate of 3 per cent per annum, and shall establish rulesand regulations for tho withdrawal or payment of such deposits; prnvlcd, that when the sum of $lO shall have ac cumulated to tho credit ot any person a 4 per cent bond shall be issued la discharge aud pay ment of it. Tnu previous question was seconded and the main question ordered,—yeas 189, nay* OU. Tho llrsl vote was taken on Kelley’s amend ment that certificates shall be convertible (after sit months) Into lawful money, aud at any lime Into 4 per cent bonds. Tho amendment was rejected,—yeas 81, nays 101. The next vote was taken on BurchanVs sub stitute, aud It was defeated,—yeas 07, nays 153. Mr. Springer moved to lay the bill on tho tsblo. Mr. Bundy moved 'to adjourn, and tho yeas and nays were ordered. During tho roll-call the boar of 4:3onrrivcd, at which time tho House hail agreed to take a recess until 7:80, hut the Speaker ruled that the call should he completed, aud It resulted,—yeas <7, pays 130, ami the House at 4:40 took a recess until 7:80. During the day flunton offered a resolution, which was adopted, for tho pamicut to tho children of the late D. B. Douglass of the re mainder of his salary as a member of tho Forty tilth Congress. EVENING SESSION. Tho House resumed consideration of tho bill authorizing tho issue of certificates of ilc fioslt, tho first voto being on a motion of Mr. iprtngcr to lav tho bill on the tabic. This was defeated—yeas, 78; nays, 105; and the bill then passed—yess, 117: nays, 73. Mr. Wood, Chairman of tho Committee on Ways and Means, reported tho hill making United States uotes receivable for duties on Im ports. Mr. Garfield stated that he desired to otter an amendment providing that such notes should do receivable so long as they were equivalent to coin. (Cries of “No, no."t lie did not pro pose, for one, to shut oil the supply of coin to meet the interest on the public debt In case any calamity should happen to tho country. Mr. Wood, acting ns organ of the Committee, yielded to tho Introduction of thn amendment, and the previous question was ordered. Mr. Harrison (III.) (to Garfield)—Has the gentleman any doubt about tho success of re sumption I Mr. Garfield—X have no doubt of the success ot resumption, unless by such bill ns this or same oilier hostile legislation resumption Is de stroyed. . , Tho amendment was then defeated—yeas, 73; nays, 135. Mr. Garfield—Believing this bill to bo a seri ous attack upon resumption, 1 move to lay It outlie table. Tho House refused to lay the bill on tho table—yeas, 41; nays, 155. The bill then passed—yens, 154; nays, 48. It simply provides that after the passage of the act United States notes shall be received In payment of duties. Mr. Wood also reported n 1)111 to facilitate the refunding of thcnntlonaldcbt. It authorizes the Secretary of tho Treasury, In the proccsa of re funding the national debt, to exchange dlrcctlv at nar bonds bearing 4 per cent Interest fur bonds commonly known as the 6-20», outstand ing and uncalled, and directs that whenever all such 5-90 bonds shall have been redeemed, the provision of this section ami all existing provisions of law authorizing the refunding of the national debt shall apply to soy bonds of tho United States bearing 5 per cent or a higher rate u! Interest which may bu reduema A-, and that In any such change Interest shall be al lowed ou bunds redeemed for a period of three months. The main question being ordered, the House adjourned. A. T.

An almost microscop ic search falls to discover any pledge, even of tbo third-class variety. Tbo clamor and noise with which the Senatorial campaign has heretofore been conducted is rapidly disappearing, and (he rigid tension of real business is having Its effect. Tho fact is, everybody but the can* didatoa themselves aro Uugiuuiug to got tired of tbo everlasting ear-cbowlng and secret caucusing which bos been going forward hero without cossatlou for tbo post ton days, and aro LOKOINO FOR REST and for the tranquillity of on Undisturbed existence. Thera ore 100 Republican mem bora of the General Assembly, each one of whom baa doubtless been approached quietly by some confidential friend about 400 times, dragged off into a deserted corner, and requested to give up bis true Inwardness on the subject. The result has been marked down on the roster opposite hie nemo by the confidential friend aforesaid as 44 Solid for Logan,” 41 Hare for FarwelV* or 41 Shooting for Oglesby,” as the case may be. In this manner, as well as by written pledges, the statue of most of the members havo beeu obtained, and the gen eral oompleotiou of things deduced from the grand total.

Upon a comparison of Rats, some of them ore found to stand seventeen different ways, and to bo doubtful beyond a question. Guileless correspondents have been taken in by them, and con fiding candidates for the United States Sen ate have been deceived by them.

The rank and file of the party hero, who have been disinterested spectators, regard Logan as beaten, and bis defeat os assured.

The reason given lor this action Is, ' that it would bridge over tho pending contest,, and that the election of Gen. Grant to the I’rcsideuer In 1880 would doubtless bo attended by tho choice of a Legislature which would not bo so divided up into personal factions as tho present. Madison, Wls„ Jan. I.l.— For tho first time, there Is considerable excitement concerning the Senatorship. This being tbo last night prior to tho caucus, tho friends of each candidate arc making their utmost ozcitton toward recruiting tbclr ranks, Inspiring confidence among their supporters, and generally making tbo best pos sible showing. The friends of Keyes, Carpen ter, and llowo claim tbat their candidate will lead on tbo first ballot. llowcJs and Carpen ter's supporters have been making a desperate effort among members to-day for complimentary votes on tho first ballot. It Is possible they bavo succeeded in a few instances, but, whether they huya or not, ‘ THEIR LARGEST TOTES WILL DB OB TUB FIRST BALLOT, while Keyes will increase largely upon tho sec ond ballot. Tbe charges in tho Tima of to-dny against Keyes have not Injured him any. Mem bers of tho Legislature are familiar with them, and satisfied of their falsity. Neither has the publication of tho ilowc-Uublco correspondence In tho same paper injured Senator llowo at all, there being nothing In it but a little pleasantry of a nature that ho would not havo indulged In in a letter intended for publication, perhaps, but containing nothing that any sensible man could urge as a reason why he should not bo re-elected to tho benate, to-night of the-result of tho first ballot Ist Keyes, 83; Rowe, S 3; Carpenter, 29. Neither Ilowo nor Carpenter con hold their vote after tho first ballot from present Indications, and Keyes’ friends aro confident of bis nomina tion to-morrow night, though possibly an al adjournment without a norainailou till Friday night may bo had, os they tro so well assured of the final result that they ere disposed to yield to any reasonable request the other candi dates may make. A STRONG SMELL 6t WHISKY. ffpntnl DlupalcJt lo Tht Tribune. Madison, Wls., Jan. IB.—Borne Interesting reminiscences of-ttio old Milwoukco Whisky King aro now reproduced for the laudable pur pose of adding piquancy and Interest to tho Senatorial campaign now red hot In this city. Some chapters of that disreputable history have been revived fur tho purpose of showing the complicity of K. W. Koyos with tho Ring, who was then Chairman of tho Republican State Central Committee, and now a candidate for tho Senate. Keyes is charged with levying os* sesaments on tho distillers and rectifiers for the purpose of carrying on the Republican side of the campaign, and these charges.were finally tho subject of a Congressional Investigation, and after a full bearing they were not substan tiated. Mr. Keyes seems to ' have been Instrumental in getting Malt Carpenter, then Senator, to remove A. E. Burpee, a Government agent, and appointing one 6. J. Conklin In bts place. Conklin feathered his own nest In a degree that made a residence In Canada necessary for hla health, and It was while he was sojourning there that be made his celebrated “statement." He was granted im munity by (he Government attorneys on tbo theory the 1 V could bo of service In prosecut ing olhci.,b t he proved an unprofitable nit* ness. CHOICE To Ibis old statement of Oonkltn's la added one by Hermann Nutmcnmchcr, also made In Canada, whither he had fled to escape retribu tion alter Bristow's lightning struck. The elder Nuunetnacher la credited with thA laving that If the Government officers had let (ho boys alone for one year they would have made money {enough to have paid the national debt. The two atatemenla are now uacd unwillingly by the Carpenter crowd with the hope* of injuring Keyes, not being aware that tbd old whisky musket la liable to kick and kill the man at tno butt. They do not seem to know that Malt Car|Mmter*B name U Irreparably connected with every lino of Conklin's coulusslou* aud that he U suspected of having had personal knowledge of all that deviltry Tn Us (talplouvy, and that 41 the boya ” depended on him In two ways, be cause be was or bad been Senator, and was potent with the authorities In Washington; and, secondly, because be was able to defend them iu the courts, i’rtur to the dual collapse of the Ring, or, to sneak more accurately, at the first attack upon it, when Ham Hludskopf was fined 95,000 aud Imprisoned in this city one dav, Mr. Carpeuler was suspected of having a much deeper Interest in the rase than that of a tneic attorney. . Hludskopf waa afterwards the Democratic nominee fur Congress hi the Milwaukee District, hut waa forced off the track hi couscqueuce of his con nection with the whisky frauds becoming kuown. Catfieulcr was then a candidate fur re-election to the Senate, and it was onculy charged that bo and Khwlskopf had entered Ifctu mi agreement, the point of which was that Car penter was to help “The Prince * 4 Into Con frees, and iu return Bam was to aid In the cleo Lou of Republican members of the Legislature In the doubtful districts, aud thus help Mr. Carpenter lu bis coolest for re-clcctlon. Car penter denies this of course,'but • Hludskopf docs not and will uot. Earn fulfilled bts part of the cuuiraet, but Malt was relieved from bis agreement by Rlndskupl’s forced rc llracy from the ticket. 'Wo arc merely supplying a little of the unwritten history of this Whisky Ring business, aud pointing to Mr. Carpenter's undeniable con nection with It. lie seeks to shelter himself now, s* he always does when caught lu a mean act,—as bo did whsn he defended Bellkuap, and argued lbs ease o( Tlldon against the Republic an parly’s highest Interests,—behind his rlguU WISCONSIN.

Thn Judge gave him such a drubbing that Matt threw up his hand, ran ofl to Washington, and left Ids colleague. Col. Goodwin, to finish the arguments in all tno other trials. Another link in the chain of circumstantial evidence that binds Mr. Carpenter Irrevocably to those frauds upon the revenue Is the course of Ids personal organ at Milwaukee. That paper Is now in Hie bands of N. B. Murpbcy, Mr. Carpenter’s law partner, and during those celebrated trials the paper dally ridiculed Mr. Bristow to tlie extent of Its Iccblc ability. and gave Indubitable proof of Its sympathy with the Ring.
