Bat one member of the Seante Commitwe—Mr. Samner—s in town nd it is understood that he declare: the entire staiement as to the nature of the agreement upon the Alabama claims which would be raii- fied by Congress a fabrication. All the members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs have deem absent trom the city for the past week There bas been no consultation among the mem- bers of the committee, as they are of the opinion that it would be indelicate to take any actioa before knowing the plau agreed upoa between the two Governments. Whea matters shall have been satisfactorily arranged between the two countrics. and official notice of the same be given to Congress, then some ac.ion will be taken. but until that time everything pertain- ing to the setilement of the Alabama ciaims will be with Sccretary Seward and Miais.er John. sop. MR. A. R. Srorronp, Libr-rian of Congress, bas made an interesting report, showing the Present condition of the library.

Mr. Spoiiord auneunces that the printing of tne alphabetical caialogne of subjects bas been commenced ard finished to the letter G. making 512 pages already printed. TRE CHILDREN of the President's family, as already mated, have issued cards of invitation to yourg misses and masters of an aze corr-s- ponding with their own toa dancing party ou Tuesday evening next, at six o’elock. The jact that written invitations have been issued strips the party of anything like the character of a reception by the ladies or a levee of the President. Notwithstanding theeyident inten- hon to make it an exclusively juvenile party, “children ot a larger growth” have been eagerly seeking invitations to attend, and some amusing if not disgusting accounts could be told of the strategic means resorted to by this “larger growth” to obtain the « entree.” Invi- tations have gone for about 350 children, em- bracing families in official position and in pri- vate life, arom Gen. Grant's children to those of the humblest pu entage. TSE FASHIONABLE CIRCLES of Louisville baye been agitated for some time by the ap- Proaching marriage ot Gen. Wager Swayne, of the U. S.
