Grant and lady, took place lest evening at their residence on I street, acd surpassed anything of the kind ever before witnessed in thiscity. By baif past eizht o'clock the spa- ¥. was densely crowded and a line of persons extending from the front door te the curb stone were anxiously waiting t gain admission. So great was the crowd that itoceupied at leastanhour to get from the carringe step to the dressing room, on the d floor. Up tohalf-past 100’elock visitors coatinued to arrive, and the street was blocked up with carnages .rom New Jersey avenue to Second street west. The expectation that Chas. waiunz to © late hour to see the great novelist, but they were doomed to disappointment, as that gentleman did not make bis appearance. The visitors were cordially received by General and Mrs. Grant, who occupied posi- tions in the back parlor, and were kept tusy until near midnight. Among the many distinguished persons present were Generals heridan, Augur, Hardie, Exton, Whittlesey, 0. 0. Howard, C. H. Howard, and Dyer: Sena- Reverdy Jobnson, Howe and Hend Carey, Farnsworth, Stevens ot N. H., Spal- ding, Kelly, Lawrence, and Maynard: John Hitz, Swiss Consul General; Senor Gu.dertez, Minister from Costa Rica; Mayor Wallach, Judge Fisher, General Longstreet and others, many of whom were accompanied by ladies, whose rich and elegant toilette: made the scene one of great brilliancy. In the dining room dancing was kept ep until s late hour, and the lovers of tha: amusement greatly enjoyed thein- selves, notwithstanding the great crowd, Tuk Trat or Serratt.—The President transmitted to the House of Representatives yesterday, as stated in the Stan. report from the Secret: of State, in relation toa resoln- tion of the House asking the cost of the arrest ard trial ot Jobn H. Surratt, whether the pro- ceedings of said trial bud been published in book torm, and at what cost and by what au- thority. In relation to the publication the Sec- Teiary Teports that upon application of the District Attorney and counsel for the United Suvtes, @ reporter was employed to report the proceedings and lay the report as fast Ss perfected before the Court and the counsel, } Snd & requisition Was made upon the Congres: sioual Printer to print the report as fast as pre— pared, in order to curry into effect that arrange- ment, It wasall the time apprehended that after the conclusion of the trial there might be an ultimate need for reterence to the printed report: at the same time, the case being one of the highest political and judicial importance, it was thought necessary and expedient that the Teport should be preserved ina shape conve- uient for reference amd history. With this view one thousand copies were or- dered. ‘The expense of printing was the same as that which is meurred for printing public documents of every sort under the directon of Congress or of the pe nan The pubhica- tion Was made upon the authority of the Sec- retary of State, under the laws of the United States. In regard to the expense of the arrest and trial of Surratt, the Secretary says the trial of Surratt is set down for the 2ith of Feb- Tuary, instant. It is believed the prosecution might be embarrassed and nindered by a pre- mature publication of the cost of the arrest and trial, and for this reason the Secretary of State isef opinion that it would not be compatible with the public interests to make further an- swer at this time to the inquiries contained in the resolution. Recertion oy Cuter Justice Caasx.—The reception of Chief Justice Chase and his daughter, Miss Nettie Chase, last evening, was attended by many distinguished persons, and the large parlors were crowded until a late hour. The Chief Justice and his accomplished daughter extended a kind welcome to all. Mrs. Senutor Sprague is now absent in New York, but will return to Washington in the cource of a few days. Convinw ations.—The Senate yesterday con- firmed the following nominations :—Gideon H. Hollister, of Connecticut, to be minister resi- dent and consul general at Hayti; to fill caney. William R. Kinney, of Kentucky, George A. Meguire, of Missours, to be commis- sioners under the act of 1567, to reimburse L diana for moneys expended in enrolling. equi ping and provisioning militia to aid in the su pression of the rebellion, William F. Tarne to be chief justice of the Supreme Court of Ari- zona, bis furmer commission having expired. STARTLING News TO Dotpy.—A cable dis- patch, from Ross, Herefordshire, England, this morning, announces the startling and at the same time agreeable news to Mr. Dolby of the arrival at Ross, on Tuesday morning last, of a son ! Hereafter the name of “Dombey and Son” will pass away, and the firm of Dolby and Son will take their place, A new novel, under the title of Dolby and Son, is expected to appear soon after Mr. Dickens’ return to England. Sach a work will pay. Dolby telegraphed to the boy yesterday to behave him- self and not spend too much money until his return. The two dispatches announcing to the father the arrival of Bis son and the former's response, cost over five hundred dollars in ereenbacks. Costly boy, that, at so early an age. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. George Dolby upon the distinguished arrival at Ross, Navat Oxvens.—Paymaster Edward Foster bas been ordered to duty in charge of Naval stores at Panama, United States of Colombia, Paymaster Charles Murray has been detached from duty ot the shove Slash aiid ordered Dome to settle Bis acceunts. Tae ArMy Arrrorriation Brit.—Mr. Blaine, of Maine, in reporting the Army appro- priation bill to-day, called attention to the Amount embraced in it, the total being thirty- three millions of dollars. This was for an army of sixty regiments; whereas, before the war, an army of nineteen regiments cost twenty-two millions per annum in gold. General Grant's administration tthrefore, cost less than half in paper money per regiment what it cost in Buchanan's time in gold. The same was true in substance of the Navy,and ofother ordinary expenses of theGov- ernment—the aggregate of ordinary expenses being this year ninety millions in paper money, against seventy millions in gold, the first year of Buchan an’s administration, and this with the disadvantage at present of paper money, high prices, and larger army and nayy than were maintained in Buchanan's time. ‘he extraor- dinary expenses Mr. Blaine stated at thirty millions for pensions, twenty-five millions for bounties and one hundred and thirty millions for interest on public debt, makin ga grand ag- eregate of twohundred and seventy-five mil- lions for the fiscal year, being one hundred millions less than the expenses last year, New Funpive Bitt.—In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Sherman reported a substitute for the funding bill previously introduced by himself, providing for the issue of registered and cou- pon bonds of the Unite@ States, principal ani interest, payable in com,, and bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, and bear- ing date +o as to require the payment of an equal amount of the interest quarterly; said bonds to be payable forty years from date, and redeemable im coin at the pleasure of the Gov- ernment after ten years from date, and to be issued to an amount sufficient to cover out- standing obligations of the United States, other than the existing 5 per cent. bonds, and to be exchanged for such oblications, and in such manner, and on such terms, not less than par, as the Secretary of the Treasury may deem most conducive to the interest of the Govern- ment: and the said bonds shall be exclusively used for the redemption or in exchange for the existing securities of the United States; said bonds to be exempt from taxation in any form. It appropriates out of the proceeds of the duties on imported goods annually an amount equal to one per cent. on the bonds issued under this act, which sum shall be reserved and an- nually applied to the purchase or payment of the national debt. It legalizes all contracts made specifically, payable in coin, and strikes out the provisions relative to a foreign loan, National CurrEeNcy.—In the Senate to-day Mr. Henderson, from the Finance Committee, Teported the bill previously mtroduced by him- self repealing the limitation in the national banking bill in rezard to the amount of the cir- culation of the national banks, and allowing any banking association depositing with the Treasurer the necessary securities to issue tional bank currency not exceeding 80 per ce of the par value of the bonds so deposited: rovided, that whenever the amount of Jnited States and circulating notes of national banks combined shall be in buncred million dollars, the Treasury is suthorized and and caricel as rapidly as practicable United States notes to the extent of such excess, until the whole amount of the United States’ notes outstanding shall be reduced to two hundred and fifty million dollars, Tax Waite Hovse.—There was a large num- ber of visitors at the Executive Mansion this morning, many of whom had an interview with the President. Secretaries Seward, Welles and Browning were with the President this fore- noon. CoLoreD PERSONS FO! Lragrta.—Mr. Trumbull presented in the Senate to-day a petition from one hundred and fifty colored persons of Halifax, N. (., asking an appropri- ation ofone hundred dollars a piece to each family. to enable them to emigrate to Liberia. The petition was referred tothe Finance Com. mittee RETURNS FROM ALABAMA, indicative of the defeat of the new constitution, unless the time for voting is extended by General Meade, has caused manifest uneasiness among leading rad- icals here. It is stated this morning, upon good authority, that General Meade telegraphed General Grant, to ask whether the time for voting should be extended; and that the latter has replied by telling General Meade to use his own judgment, and to extend the time if it is deemed necessary. Should the Radicals fail to carry the election for the new constitution, there is a manifest disposition among Republi- can Senators to-day to press the yote on the re- construction bill now in the Senate, which pru- vides that the majority of votes cast shall be sufficient to adopt the constitution, at an early day. ACCIDENT TO SECRETARY McCULLocH.—Sec- retary McCulloch, while leaving the Treasury Department at the close of business yesterday aiternoon, slipped upon the granite steps lead- ing out of the building on the west front, and fell rather heavily upon his back, receiving several very severe bruises. This morning he Was unable to leave his bed, but his physicians think he will be able to attend the Department to-morrow.

Tur ACTION oy THE RECONSTRUCTION Com- MITTEE.—The question of impeachment has been revived by the Johnson-Grant correspon- dence, and at the meeting of the Republican members of the Reconstruction Committee yes- terday, itis under=tood that there was a decided expression of opinion that the action of the President in ordering Gen. Grant to refuse to Tecognize the Secretary of War constituted ground for impeachment. Messrs. Boutwell and Bingham, who were appointed asub-com- mittee to take the matter into consideration and report to the committee on Friday, had a pro- tracted session last night, and have been in com- sultation for several hours to-day. ‘THe Prestpent’s Reriy To Gen.
