THE FREEMAN CLARKE LETTER. The Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives appointed yesterday &sub-committee to visit the Treasury Depart- ment to investigate the alleged discrepancy 8: between the report of the Secretary of the Treasury and the statement of Mr. Freeman Clarke, in regard to the amount of money now im the Treasury. After an examination of the books the ed that the exhibit made by Secretary McCul- Joch was correct, and it was so announced by Mr. Hooper to the House. In the letter referred to, Mr. Clarke reiterates his statement, denied by Mr. McCulloch, that | ‘there was on the 2ith of February last at least one hundred and fifty millions of dollars in the United States Treasury, including deposits in the National banks. Mr. Clarxe attempts to show that instead of there being at that time Only $111,140,632.29, as stated by Mr. McCul- loch, there was really $170,465,950 on hand. ‘Mr. Clarke also says that neither of the month- ly reports of Secretary McCulloch for the last few months has shown within $50,000 the ac- | tual amount of money in the Treasury; and @lso, that instead of having 9 deficit on June will really have a surplus in the Treasury of mearly $200,000,000, making a difference of '&312,000,000 in the estimates, or more than enough to carry on the Government to July, As above stated, the Committee report that the exhibit of Secretary McCulloch is correct; and Mr. Clarke is thus leftin the awkward po- sition of having assailed his superior ‘officer quite at random, and has established nothing but his own ignorance of the mstiers upon Which he essayed to treat, and his utter unfit- ness for the position he holds. Tue Orgra.—Meyerbeer’s great historical opera of “Les Huguenots” was given in grand style at Grover’s last evening. It was alto- gether the best performance we have had here by the German Troupe. All did well, but the palm must be awarded to Madame Johannsen (Valentina) and Himmer, (Raoul). in the duetin the 4th act, and the finale ef the 5th act, they excelled all their previous efforts, and were raptuously applauded, and called before the curtain. M’lie Naddie astonished the andience by her rendition ot “Margaret de Valois.’ Her vocalization was beantifal, her cacienzas and staccatos excellent, for which, On account of the prejudice created against this artist on former appearances, we were not tail prepared. She has evidently been ina Meyerbeer school, and if she possessed the re- quired voice in some roles would bea first- class singer. Mle Dzuiba gave us the Page in an admirable manner. Hermann’s “Marcel” was good, although in almost every ebaracter that artist undertakes, Mephisto- philes appears. Formes and Weinlich both appeared to great advantage, although the lat- ter was somewhat hoarse. The chorus, rather small for this heavy work, was passable. The orchestra, under Mr. Nenendorf, is yery good, He is an energetic and careful leader, whose valuable services are daily more apparent. ht, Mozart's immortal creation, “Don anni.” © will be no matinee to-morrow after- Tue Wrexkty Star is now on our counter for sale, and in wrappers. ready for the mails, contaming its great variety of reading matter. “Kattie and the De’il,” a Bohemian story: “Love.

FrsanctaL.—The New York stock market continues to exhibit considerable speculative strength. The Commercial Advertiser says :— Governments are moderately active, but de- cidediy firm. Seven-thirties are better. Five-twenties of 1965, % lower. Gerthoume of indebteaness are % higher. Money is aband- ant. The banks are lending at 6 per cent. on call, but private firms find it difficult to obtain over 5 per cent.,6 per cent. being an excep- tional rate. Discounts are a shade easier: prime paper is quoved 707% per cent.. but there is a be oinp | toward 6% per cent. for very choice names. Gold is rather more excited. It ranged yesterday from 130% to 131%. - THE FeNrangs.—tt ts reported that Sir Fred- erick Brace, the British Minister at Washing- ton, bas made strong representations to Secre- tary Seward in relation to theek’enian move. ment. The result does not yet appear. A rumor comet from Rochester that the Fenians have purchased the four largest steamers of the American ime on Lake Ontario; but it is not authenticated.

A Wathington correspondent ef one of the Northern newspapers makes an error iu sta- Colonel Eli Baker has been appoistad taf to Lient. General Gran’, to fil the vacancy occasioned by the death of Colonel T.S. Bowers. The statement is probably based on the fact that Colonel Ely 8. Parker, Military Secretary to Lieut. General Grant, has been directed by the General to discharge the dutirs of Assistant Adjutant General, for the present. Brig. General John A. Rawlins is still Chief of Staff to the Lieut. General. REPORTED OUTRAGE. ON COLORED rEo- Brig. General Howard received a communi- cation from Centerville, Queen Ann's county, Md. dated March 13, 1866, informing him of outrages committed by gangs of rowdies iu that vicinity on colored people. The writer les that returned colored soldiers are way- Inid and beaten, and the guns, which the Gov- eTnment permitted them to keep, taken away from them. On the 7th instant, the teacher of a colored school was attacked and beaten. He flnoliy succeeded in breaking away trom his assaii- ants and ran, pursued by the rowdies, who shot at him. On last Sunday night,” about eleven o'clock, two men, on horseback, came to the colored church, in which is held the col- ored school, and burned it to the ground. PENSIONERS. Senator Wilson introduced a joint resolution to-day declaring that the pension act of March 30, 1885, shall not hereafter be so construed as to deprive invalid pensioners or the widows or heirs ofany persons who have served in the army or navy during the late war, of the pen- sion to which they are entitled, by reason of holding any office under theGoverument.
