Safford, who for some time past acied &s agent for several imsurance companies in that city, bas absconded with about #1,000 in money which he had collected. 1t is also stated that Safford was at the same time acting as agent for the People’s Insurance Company of Baltimore. The Southern Mutual Com- By immediately upon a knowledge of the jacte set detectives to work to arrest the alleged defauiter, but he had fled the country. They followed bim as far as Bajtimore, where trace of bim was jost. Safford is'a Pennsy! yanian; but came to that city from Nashville, Tenn. APPAIRS tx Cr ‘The intelligence from Cuba this merning is less exciting than that of the preceding day. Engagements with the in- surrectionists inthe neighborhood of Cienfue- g0s are reported, but they are said to be mere skirmishes without important results. Two thousand more troops trom Spain are expected te arrive to-day, and the authorities still pro- fess confidence in their ability to put down tie Tevolution. All Cuban ports where there are Bo custom houses are to be closed. Emigration from Cuba is increasing. The prisons are filed With suspected persons. Despatches from Key West report that large pumbers of Cuban Tetugees are arriving there.

The committee will meet again on Wedneeday next, and prepare their report ujon the claim. Distant RELATIONSHIP.—A good deal hay- ing been said in the papers about General Schenek and S. N. Pike being relatives, the Dayton Jowrral takes occasion to state that the relationship is exactly this—that a younger brother of General Sebenck, long deceased, married the sister of Mr. Pike's wife—a very Accomplished and very much respected lady. GENERAL GRANT was at bis office as usual to-day, and transacted a large amount of busi- ness. Between ten and twelve e’clock inter- views were given Senators Cattell aud McDon- ald and Senator-elect Garl Schurz: Admiral Dahigren: Judge N.

He denied squarely the charges of having received valuzble considerations trom the members of the whiskey ring, and stated that the real property of which be had become possessed during his service was worth abou! a thousand dollars, and that he was ready to sell itto the examining lawyer at that valua- tion. RESIDENCE FOR GENERAL SRERMAN.—We understand that the efforts of the committee or gentiemen to procure for and present to Gen- eral Sherman & suitable residence in this city have resulted ist the purchase of Gen. Grant's fine mansion on I street, and that General S- will enter into possession immediately after the sth prox. The transfer included the furni_ ture, etc., and the Lieutenant General will oc- capy the house substanially as it now is. Suc- ceeding Gen. Grant in the command ot the army, there would seem to be special fitness in General Sherman's taking up his xbode in the house soon to be given up for the Executive Mansion; and we think all parties interested are to be congratulated on the fortuitous resuit of the negotiations. — It is proper to state in this connection that the heretofore announced sale of this property to Mayor Bowen was never consummated. THE RECEPTION at Senator Sherinan’s last evening called together another large and brii- jlant assemblage, including, among others well kmoWn in the society of the Capital, Attorney General aud Mrs. Evarts; Generals George H.

Charies Ew- ing, Hon. Wm, Johnson of Obio, Hon. Wm. Whiting, and Frank Moore. The toilets of the ladies were unnsually fine, and the occasion was voted by all present one of the most delightful of the season. PUPLICATION QF THB CONGRESSIONAL Depates.—A report from the Joint Committee on Public Printing was presented to-day to the Senate by Hon. H. B. Anthony, and to the Hotse by Hon. A. H. Lafiin, the Chairman of the Senate and House Committees. It shows that in response to the invitation tor proposals to report and publish the debates in Congress, propositions were received from W. T. Cro. well, of Rahway, New Jersey, and Rives & Bailey, the publishers of the Globe. An esti. mate was also furnished by the Oongres- sional Printer of the expense of the debates at the Government Printing Office, These three propositions Were carefully com. pared, and it appears by elaborate statements ip the report that the highest estimated cost ‘was that of Rives & Bailey, the next that o; the Congressional Printer, and the lowest that of Mr. Crowell. The Joint Committee on Pablic Printing make BO recom but submit two joint resolutions. One of these Authorizes a contract with Mr. Crowell, as the lowest bidder, and the other directs that the work be done by the Congressional Printer. Senator Anthony gave notice that he should call up these resolutions to-morrow, if pos. sible, in the Senate, and be hoped that the Sen. Alors would read the report, that they might vote understandingly on them. 1t je understood that Senator Whyte, who is & member of the Senate Committee on Print. ing, will offer am amendment to the coutract Feeolution, substituting the names of Rives & Bailey for JonnT. Crowell. There isa desire manifested by several leeding members of Uon- Gress to bave the work executed at the Gov. ernment jg OMice. if on the score economy it be taken from the Gite office.
