C., FRIDAY, MARCH 20. 1868. 2. 4,690. THE EVENING STAR Washington News and Gossip. ‘Tae leyRaCRMENT.—The House Impeach. ment Managers held two meetings yesterday, and examined one witness, the Hon. Horatio King, who was Postmaster General under Mr. Buowanan, Mr. King did not disclose anything important, though the Manage-s had been led to suppore that he was cognizant of some of the President's designs in bis recent procecdings. The Managers are preparing themselves on the law points which may arise on the trial. They aye yet made no assignment of the parte Which they shall respectively take on the trial, and will not decide that question until after the President shall have developed his course on Monday next. Mr. Johnson holds daily consultation with bis coumsel. .It is stated that he is decirous to secure the services as on of his counsel of Mr.T. P. Sweat, of Illinois, (one of the Lincoln electors of that State,) and has telegraphed to him to thateffeet. His cona- sel. now expect to be ready with his answer by Monday. It is understood that he will appear in person in the Senate on the opening day of the trial, which will be after the replication of thé House is made to the answer of the Pres- dent's counsel. THE MILITARY CommitTee to-day decided to report a Bounty bil! embodying the points contained in what is known as Schenck’s bill, excepting that it provides that these bonnties sail be paid in Government land scrip. Each soldier and sailor is allowed bounty at the rate of eight and one-third dollars per month for the time in actual servicr, after deducting State and National bounty already paid. It is not known to the Committee how many millions of Actes of land it will require to pay these boun- ties, no estimate having been as yet prepared, but in view of the very large sum of money it would draw from the Treasury, and the amount it would increase the public debt, the Committee came to the conclusion that these bounties should be paid in land. The bill will be reported to the House to be printed and Teeommitted to the committee, and it is the in- tention of General Garfield, chairman, to call it up at an early day. SENATOR WAD’ AND THE PRustDENcy.—It has been telegraphed from here that in prospect of Senator Wade becoming President by the impeachment of Mr. Johnson, that he has been in receipt of many letters soliciting appoint ments. It is learned that this is not the fact, not a single letter having been received by him based upon the anticipation of his occupy- ing the Presidential chair. He has received one personal application only, and that was made yesterday by a colored person, who was de- sirous of becoming chief cook of the kitchen department at the White House, if Mr. Wade should relieve President Johnson, It is need- less to add that no encouragement was given. Rumors are daily circulated to the effect that Mr. Wade's Cabinet has been decided upon in the same event. Itis quite certain, however, that he has er intimated to any one, not even his personal friends whom he should select if impewchment proves successful, and those who baye made recent inquiry say that he has not even considered the subject in bis own mind. WE ane REQUESTED to state that it is useless to apply for seats during the impeachment trial in the Reporter’s gallery of the Senate. ‘The Senate provided seats for sixty. and that number of tickets were issued several days go, aad until further provision is made those Tepresentatives of the press elsewhere, who have not been provided with seats,will do well to remain at home and “smoke the pipe of peace,” Caprais Cynrvs S. Ronerts, 17th U. S. In- fantry, has been assigned to duty as Aide-de- caimp to the Brevet Major General Command- ing Department of Texas THe PResipent has under advisement the assignment of General Halleck to command the fifth military district, in place of General Haucock, but it will not probably be definitely determined until after the consultation with the latter. Tee Erection Commitres this morning beard the finishing argument of Mr. Hogan, who contests the seat held by Gen. Pile, from St. Louis, Mo. It was expected that the Com- mittee would report to the House to-day all election cases betore them, but the Hogan-Pile case occupying so much time of the Committee the present week that Committee postponed reporting them until after next Monday, when all the cases will be considered. Tue CoryercticuT ELxection.—We omitted to mention in our issue of yesterday, among the distinguished Republicans who will take part in the canvass of this State, the name of the Hon, Mathew H. Carpenter, of Wisconsin. The great ability displayed by Mr. Carpenter in the Supreme Court and elsewhere recently, bas attracted much attention to him, and he is generally recognized as onv of the foremost of “coming men” of the country. He will prove a powerful auxiliary to the Connecticut Re- publicans in their canvass, PERSOWAL.—Horace Greeley arrived in town to-day, and was quite busily engaged this fore- noon confabbing with prominent politicians «f all parties. ++» Major General Hancock, who was expected to arrive in the city last eveaing, was detained by a railroad accident at Grand Junction, Miss, He is expected to reach the city this evening. -+--Gov Thomas Carney, of Leavenworth, Kansas, is at the Metropolitan Hotel. ----Goy. B. F, Flanders, of Louisiana, is at Wiliard’s Hotel Promorsp.—Edward U. Callan, of this city, hus been promoted from second to first Assist- ant Examiner in the Patent Office, vice A. P. Thayer. resigned. THE FURTHER POSTPONEMENT Of the trial of Jefferson Davis will be officially announced within a day or two, from March 1th to May 4th. This change, it is stated, is rendered neceseary by the fact that the new term of the court commences on May 4th, and the twenty days intervening between March i4th and May 4th is not considered suiicient time in which to try this case; hence the Government has made a further postponement of the trial. Tux Dray axp Dump AsyLum.—At the meet- ing of the Committee on Appropriations this morning, it was agreed to report a bill barged ropriatil le trecton of buildings, Sey for tbe Colntobia Deafand Dumb lum, and other charitable associations in the rict of Colum bia, GENERAL ORDERS No. 16, just issued from the War Department, and signed « By order of the Secretary of War: E.

Mr. Sumner had noobiection to that, These memorials were respectful in tone; and had been sent to Bim in the regular course of the mail, an mted them as was his duty as aSenator. There was no doubt that the colored people of Delaware was deprived of theie civil and polical rights, that the guar- antees of the Civil Rights Bill -were denied to thers. It might be true that the signatures were all m the same handwriting, bet that was owing to the unfortunate discrimination against them im the State of Delaware, by which they had been denied the munities of education. tions one, two and three are struck out entirely and others inserted: enacting: That the selec- tion of a site for the erection of a jail be sus- pended; and that any plan heretofore approw: d by the Secretary forthe erection of such jail, shall be rejected; and that any and all con- tracts herctofere entered into by the Secretary for the construction of such jail, be declared nuil and void, and not in accordanc with laws authorizing the adoption of. plans and the exe- cution of coutracts for the pu: aforesaid. | His (Mr. S.) sympat ‘were aroused ty the Also, that the Committees of the S-nate and : Z Bowie of Ren talives upon Poche Burn | B&ture of these petitions, and he believed it was the duty of Congress to afford relief. Mr..@aulsbury said there was no specific cause of complaint in these petitions. They were all general and related to political rights. At was quite txe custom here for gentlemen to get up bere and abuse the States of Maryland, Kentucky. and Delaware, ou account of the condition of the negro population in those States, and because they did mot confer suffrage upon them. Why did not Obio and other States confer negro suffrage before complaining of the States named for not doing it. They should take the beam out of their own eyes be- fore attempting to remove the mote from ours. He (Mr. 8.) asserted that nowhere in this Union were the civil rights of the negro better protected than in Delaware. They were placed on exactly the sume footing as the white man. The motion to refer tae memorials to the Ju- diary Committee with instructions to asceriain the genuineness of the signatures was then agreed to. ‘Mr. Edmunds moved to take up the bill to regulate the presentation of bills to the Presi- dent and the return of the same. Mr. Drake hoped the bill would not be taken up.

A correspondent of the Chicago Journal sends that paper & cofiiiunieation on the subject of co-operative households, which is worthy of consideration. It says that the many junior pariners, clerks, bookkeepers, la and bank or insurance officers, yarn aud others, haying incomes of from $1,500 to £3,000 per annum, and families, are reaily in strait- ened circumstances. They have refined tastes and wants common toall gentlemen and ladies; and among these wants, which may be classed as necessaries, are comfortable apartments, con- venient to their places of business, a1 to their sphere in society. In a word, with pleasant surroundings, good ventilation, conveniences for heating in winter, gas, bath- ing conveniences, ete., which cannot be fur- nished on their salaries. To remedy the evil tbe writer suggests the elubbing of a number of men to accomplish the ob- ject. Buy fifty feet of ground in some jocality, not too far away, at $150 per foot, which would cost $7,500, and put up one buil- ding, with a ten-feet ball through the center, three stories bigh, with a hall basement and Mansard_ roof, all modern improvements, steam, baths, gas, etc..on each floor. Finish the balls and stairs in natural wood, so as to no carpets. Residence for Janitor in the basement, and store rooms and trunk rocms in the attic; dumb waiters in the rear annex, which would contain six separate kitchens and six servants’ bed rooms aud back stairs. Shatts of brick in the rear of annex to receive atbes and garbage from each floor, to be re- moyed by the scavengers. “Arrange apartments for two families on each floor—with nothing in common excepting the ball and stairs—make the building a marble jront; have a door-plate and a bell-pull for each set of apartments; otherwise the entrance and front to appear {ike that of an ordinary private residence. Each family could bave a parlor, dining-room, kitchen and two or more bed-rooms, closets, store room, storage for in the cellar, nd a portion of the attic. Exch family could keep a servant and keep house! “What would it cost? we have it The lot. How im a trial of impeachment, there is no Chief Justice bere. This sct of the President and bis counsel wss a studied one. and there was a distinct purpose in it, which would develop it- self during the course of the trial. The motion of Mr. Edmunds was then re- jected. Mr, Drake then eubmitred his order; which went over under the ebjection of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Fessenden introduved a bill to allow a drawback on imported articles used in the con- struction of sailing vessels, Reterred to Com- mittee on Commerce.

Mr. Wood (N, ¥.) asked if the effect of that resolution to compel members to be pres- ent at the trial Mr. Boutweil replied negatively Mr. Wood. Then there will be no session of the House upon the days when the trisl is in progress? The Speaker said there would not be under this resolution. Mr. Jenckes asked if it was the purpose to prevent the transaction of any business while the impeachment trial was in progress, If so. he desired to offer an amendment that upon those occasions the House meet daily at clever o'clock to transact bu-iness. Mr. Boutwrll declined to accept any amend- ment of the character suggested. The House could take that question up as an after con- sideration, ‘The resolution was adopted. Mr. Hill (N. J.) introduced a bill for the es- tablichment of am American line of Ocean steamsbips between tbe city of New York and one or more European ports.
