Speciat Dispatch to Tre Tribune. ‘Wasnixeron, D. ., March 8.—The state dinner which was given to-night by President Grant as a farewell horor to his_Cabinet and as a courtdsy to President-eicct - Hayes was de- sigued to be the most clabarate cntertainment ever given at the White House. The table was ket in the state-room, which bad been specially arranged for the occasfon. It is usually ar- ranged to accommodate thirty-four gucsts. No greater niiber-has ¢ver sat at the table except’ son, when ~Thire”ferd™ 40dsew John- sat down—at the table. The number present at the dinuer to-night was, thirty-six. The flowers from the Government green-honse were go lavighly pruvided as to be almost in ex- cess. In theceatre of the room, dircetly be- hind the cbair of Mrs. Grant, was “AN. ENORMOUS AZALEA BUSH ten feet hign, containing a perfect mass of pink bloom. In the alcoves of thewindows on cither. side there were large palms. Draped betiween the two'eeystal chandeliers were ropes of moss, and similar~bunches and bands of smi- lax were wrapped about the chandeliers. Beside the plateof each guest there was abouquet-holder with a bouquet sbout the size 2 demi-bouquet opera—The pieces in the centre of the table were very large, decorated with moss and rich with flowers. - Vines of smilax were intertwined between ferns, and crosses decorated each of the larger centre pieces. There were six wine- glasses of various sizes and color and of DELICATE WORSMANSHIP. | The waiters were dressed in black dress suits, with white ties. During the mranging, of the table in iu the alternoon Mrs. Grast, withala- dy friend, came fu, when Mrs. Grant gave expression to some very generous aud delicate sentiments falrly characteristic of ber. Mrs. Grant sald that, while she had spent eight very pleasant years in the White House, she left it without regret oran envious thought. She was happier to Ieave it, becasse her place was to be filled by such a wo- nan as Mrs. Goy. Hayes. Mrs. Grant, with all others who have made the acquaintance of Mrs. Hayes, speak of her in terms of TNBOUNDED RESPECT AND ADMIRATION. She will - be the most queenly lady that has presided in the White House for many a day. E. R. Buckley, the colored caterer, who has boen in President Grant’s employ for eight years, had charge of the dinner. The fnvited Euests were seatcd at tue table in the following order: Onthe north side of the table at the west end of the room Mrs. Matthews, Senator’ Booth, Mrs. Senator Boutwell, Senator Sher- man, Mrs. Attorney-General Taft, Don Cam- -eron, Secretary of War, Mrs. Chief-Justice Wiaite, the President, Mrs. Gov. Hayes, wife of the President-clect. At President Grant’s right, | Chiel-Justice Waite, Mrs. Sccretary Robeson, Secrotary Chandler, Mrs. Postmaster-General Tyner, Senator Sbaron, Mrs. Sartoris. At the west end of the table were Judge Stan- ley Matthews, Mrs. Creswell. At the south side of the table were Gen. John G. Mitchell, Mrs, James Casey, the Attor- ney-General, Webb Hayes, son of the Presi- dent-elect, Mrs. Fred Grant, Senator Boutwell, Yice-President-clect Wheeler, Mrs. President Graat, Gov. Haves, President-elect, Mrs. Sccre- tary Morrill, the Seeretary of the Navy, Mrs. Secretary Chandler, the Postmaster-Gencral, Mre. Mitchell, of the Presidential family, Col. Fred Grant, Mr. Sartorls. At the cast cnd of the table were Jesse R. Grant, U. 8. Grant, Jr., Gen. Creswell, ex-Postmaster-Gencral. PRESIDENT JIAYES' SALARY for the four years of his term will .be $50,000 a year, the same amount now paid to President Grant. Mr. Bolman made agrest effort to cut it down to 925,000, and the Housc so pro- vided in- the Legislative bill. Three Coafer- ence Committeés were sppointed on . the bill, the. last two bein, on. this point alone. The third Committe, re- vorted- at half-past 1 o’clock this morning that it bad been unable to agree. MMr. Holman made an effort to bave still_another Committee appointed, but his own_side of his house was againse mim, and a motion of Mr. Clymer, of Peunsylvanis, who expresscd the wisbes of Speakor Randall, to recede from fts objection, was adopted by the Houss without a roll-cail, Mr. Holinan not Lieinz able to get the ayes anu noes upon it. The argument of Clymer was that il the bill failed the salary of the Presi- dent would remain ot $50,000, ail tbrough his .term. It Wwas not best to allow the bill to fail +with such a result. - There was a scene between Carter Harrison, of. Chicago, and Clymer. 'The former T¥as yery anxious to have the reduction made, and they beld a heatea discussion which, Eadod by both petting very mad about it. It is now expected that Gov. Hayes will be eworn (n privately to-morrow, cither at the White House or in the parlor of Senator Sher- man’s nouse, by Chicf-Justice Waite. The Re: ublican leaders have thought it necessary to Envc the oath administered at noon to-marrow in-order to provide for any possible eunfin“- geuen : b, A STRAW. Speciol Dispaich o The Tridune. CrNCINNATI, March 3.—Your. correspondent 4 hasit from 2 most reliable source that Presi-: dent Hayes, when in this city a few weeks ago, stated to a gentleman in the course of a conver- sation that in the next House of Representa- tives . there would be a majority for the Ad-.. ministration of about fourtcen. - . CLOSING OUT IN THE HOUSE.' . Speclal Dispateh to The Triduns. Wasamsgron, D. C., March 3—The day session of the. House iasted from 10 in the morningz untll Sin the afternoou. At the very. outset the House had all the appearanceofa’ dosing day of the session. Every member had | his little bitl "to care for, and scores of theso . gathered about the Speaker’s table withload . clamor for the floor, and. with every variety of * motiong. Many of these punctual peoplé suw- cecded in getting their favorite mensurcs passed, lut among- these does not appear to have. Dbeen avy considerable job. The schemes of these carly comerswere, however, soon dafeated by the appearance on tho Goor of Mr, Holman: Hels determined to retain his appellation of * watch-" dog of the Treasury™ to the end, and to snarl. and grow! until the gavel falls to-morrow at noon. Holman had hardly entered the Cham-" ber before g mS ETERNALY 1 OpyECT Y . was heard, and his appearance was greeted with. petulant denunciations on all sides. The desperate Tiiden faction, certaln that Judge Cartter, of the District Court, wonld re- .| lease the members of the Louisiana Returning Board upon a habeas-corpus ted vestes t ordered their release rm?;: ti?ncusto;l: o;dqnm"f Hopse to-day, and did not include in' the resolution the propositions so insulting to the Republicans which'ere. repeatedly offered in this connection ;yesterday. The habeas-cor- pus suit was immediately dismissed. The fol- lowing wis the more fmportant leglslation. transacted in the closing hours of the sessfon: - . TIE FAMOUS CHOCTAW SCHEME L was killed, the bill authorizing the nation'to’ bring suit in the Court of Claims falling to get’ the necessary two-thirds. The bill to_extend the Southern Claims Comimission for to years' passed both Houses. G ‘The Democrats could not resist the tempta-, tion to put on record in some formal way the. assertion that Tilden was elected President.. They did this by adopting a resolution from, Proctor Knott’s Committee declaring such to’ be the fact. After the ynsuccessful attempts of ;yesterday, however, to commit the Housa to, the general indorsement of a lampoon upon the. Electoral Commision, and an assanlt upon “the’ Republican party, the Democrats withdrew . . . THEIL OBJECTIONABLE WIERFASES, and presentcd a resolution which did not hay in it so much of the partisan jingle of frand snd. did not libel the juaiciary of the country. . Thers was no opportunity allowed for debate, but, White, of Kentucky, an enthusiastic young Re-. publican, sald loud enouch to be heard that the, resolution was revolutionagy, treasonable, and. damuable. -Nevertbeless the Democrats adopt-. ed ft,—veas, 137; nays, 53,—a strictly parts. votc, , with the single exception that Haymond, of, Indiana, voted in the negative with the Repub- licans.. David Dudley Ficld was destined to be successful in having” one proposition which he presented to the House favorably considered. IS QUO WARRANTO BILL SIGNALLY FAILED, although he was so confident of its passage that he bad it corolied last night in‘order to bo, ready to be immediately transmitted to the’ Senate after the vote...To-day he. presentéd, - lkewise from the Committee on Prvilezes,a resolution defining the gencral Democratic tle that was not published whea this Commi> tee made its first report. g THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. . . The following was the statc of the Approprias tion bills at the close of the day session: Tha Fortification bill adopted. The Sundry Cint bill in its first conference. The Leglslative bill fus its sezond confereace. The Tadian bill agreed to. The Army bill in its tirst conference. The Post- Oftice bill in its second conicrence. The River aod Harbor bill not passed. The West Point bill agreed to. The Deficiency bill and Consular Diplomatic bill agreed to. The great olut of difference in the Legislative bill is upon the smendment to reduce the President’s salary to 525,000 Gep. Gorfield, -who ought to know what he is talking about, said that PresiGent Grant bad once vetoed a bill which reduced his salary; that it was not fair now to put ic on this bill, s It would not be manly for the ontmoing President to approve it, and that if the amend- ment was insisted upon ° K ' THE BILL WOULD FAIL, and an’ extra sessfon be inevitable. “The Demo- crats declare that the President and the Senate must take the resposibility, as they would never recede from their position. The indicgtivns are that the House will not, and ualess the Scnate consents to the reduction this importan{ bill must fail. Iz it should fail an €xtra session must necessarily be called to bave the bill passed before the end of the fiscal year, as every branch of the Government depends upon this particalar bill. R e THE POSTAL BILL was agreed to between the two Houses, except as to the clause appropriating 375,000 for postal- ‘carservice. TheScnate struck out the two appro- priations for ocean subsidies. - This was done under somewhat peculiar circumstacces. Sen- ator Bootb, the anti-monopolist, cbanced to be temporarily in the presiding oflicer’s chair when the xE,'nnlm'em:e Committee came up. An oppo-. nent of the subsidy called for the ayes and noes. A presiding officer mare favorable to the sub- sidy schemes might easily have recognized an- other person. Booth, however, recognized the .mover, and QUICKLY PUT THE QUESTION. Brought face to face with a direct votc uponthe subsidy scheme, the RepublicanScenators did not dare to vote for it, and many who had voted for it 05 a chance fn the general bill, changed their votes to-day on, this ‘Independent motion. Notable among them was Crarin, of New Hamp- shire, who is a candidate for a Cabinct position under Hayes. The amendment for the postal- car service is ! OF GREAT IMPORTANCE to the country. . Persons familiar with the io- . tentions of the raflroad managers, say that'un- .less the appropriation s madethe principal rail- road companies will witbdraw the gréater por- tion of the postal-car scrvice from the leading routes within a mouth after the adjournment of Congress. & Tu the Conference report upon the Naval bill the House conferees receded vrowm the very fm- portant provision for the appointinent of mission to prepare = naval policy. Tl been . the leading policy of the louse Navat -Committee, but ft was stricken out in confer- ence, and the Naval bill, with this omitted, was passed. e If there is to be an extra sessfon it will depend upon the position assumied by the House Demo- crats op the amendments to the Army bill rela- tive to the use of the army in the South, sud Gipon the amendment. to the Sundry Civil WIl relative to the salary of the President. ‘The Democrats are Dot agreed s 1o the constitu- tionality of the amendiment , with respect to the nse of troops. Indeed, Bayard, in the Senate this evening, intimated that bie vy - IIAD SEKIOUS DOUBTS o2 as to the power of the Housc to encroach upon the rights of the Execative as Commander-in- Cthiet of the Army and Navy. - : The vote in the Scnate upon the substitute Army bill was strictly partisan, and from the ‘position which Senator Blaine, who has charge of the Senate' Confercnce, - assumed, it secms certaln that the Senate will be asresolute in its Qetermiuation as the House be. *.
