Yesterday afternoon the body was re overed, and found to be that of Blackstone, of the firm of Funston & Black- stone, picture-trame makers at 912 Market street. The body was sent to his house iu the extreme northwestern part ofthe city. Oa ar- Tiving there the parties found another party of police in possession, and that Blackstone's wife and two small children were dead, chopped to pieces with au axe. It appears that previous to committing the murder on Monday Blackstoue wrol Iotter to his wife’s father in Connecti- cut, saying that he had killed bis wife and chil- drep, and would kill himself. The party in oni jay telegraphed to the police a iphia, who went to the house snd feund the related, and were investigating the case when the dead body of the father was brought 10.

THE LzcTURB on “Mexico, Maxtmillian, Carlotta, Spain and Cuba,” delivered at Bal- timore by General J.

There isa wish amongst his Wash- ington acquaintances that he should deliver the lecture im this city. Vic8 PresipEnT CoLrax and Speaker Blaine are probably not aware that the Reporters’ gal- leries of their respective houses, are occupied by ebysters having no legislative right there, and to the great inconvenience of the regular Teporters. Some of these bummers who push themselves into front seats, are parties having private claims pending in Congress and who are py the rules excluded from the privileges of the Reporters’ Galleries. CHANGES AT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. ‘The General Superintendent of the Treasury Building, Mr. Rice, will make some twenty- fiye or thirty appointments of watchmen and laborers inthe Department about the first of next week, most of whom will be colored men. The sweeps and cleaners, who are females, ‘will not be removed at present. He has hun. dreds of applicants for the posi ions, and strong efforts are being made to have those now holding such positions turned cut. THE NUMBER OF VISITORS at the White House was somewhat limited to-day, and but few of them had interviews with the President, who remained in bis business office till one o’clock, when he took @ walk in the direction of Georgetown, making a briet pause at the War Department, where he bad an interview ‘with the Secretary of War. He did not return tothe Executive Mansion tili near three o'clock. Masses, H. D. Coos, Wm. A, Shannon. and Southwick Guthrie, (the two last named of the Treasury Department.) the committee to examine into the affairs of the Printing Divi- sion of the Treasury, have concluded their ia- vestigation, and will probably forward their Teport to Secretary Boutwell to-morrow. Mr. Cook is at presentin Philadelphia, but will probably return here this evening. THE STATEMENT of the public debt to be ts- sused from the Treasury Department to-mor- 10W will bein mew form. Every ciass of in- debiedness, with the interest thereon to date, cash on band, receipts, expenditures, &c, will be shown in detail, somewhat similar to the style in wbich the statements were issued Previous to January, ‘S63. By the new ar- rangement the various accounts will be more fully set forth aud readily understood. Cotoxa: Hemey Wangs, of Massachuset:s, ‘was to-day removed from his position in the office of the Secretary of the Senate bySecretary Gorham and Mr. J. N. Flagg, of Vermont, has been appointed in his place. The retirement ot Colonel Ware will be greatly regretted by members of the press and others, as he has been one of the most courteous and accommo- dating gentlemen in the Secretary's Office, We understand he will retarn with his wife and family, to Boston to-morrow. He will certainly carry with him the good will and kindly regards of his associates, and all who bave ever had business with him. THE ADJOURNMENT oF CoNnGREss.—There ‘was considerable opposition in the Senate this morning to the House resolution providing for an adjournment of Congress on Tuesday, the 6th of April. Mr. Sumner is decidedly op- Posed to an adjournment, and several other Prominent Senators think that Congress should not adjourn so early, or at least that the status of Georgia and several other questions should be settled first. Messrs. Anthony, Conkling and others are in favor of adjourning on the 6th proximo, but it is probable that a compro- ‘Mise will be made, end the session prolonged B week or two after that date. The amend- ment proposed by Mr. Hamlin tostrike out April 6th and insert April 10th seemed to be favorably received, but mo conelusion had been reached when the morning hour expired, hence the subject went over until to morrow, and the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the Iudian appropriation bill. NomINATIONS.—The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nominations : Emil Hochster, to be Consul at armen. , Lewis S. Blake, to be agent tor the Black. feet and neighboring tribes cf Indians. Wm. A. Arnold to be Receiver of Public ‘Moneys at Central City, Colorado. P. B.

The bridges at Cattaraugus Creek were carried ay by the flood, which detained Weston, and Payne caug! with him. Considering the muddy condition of the road both men made splendid time. They expect to make the trip in little over 24 hours. THE LAST PHILADELPHIA MURDER. PHILaDELPHta, March 31.—Some of the rela- tionsot James L.

This will probably stay the official clash that ba: oft Stoneman’s Tecords show hole number of ap. ointments made amount to 2554. Of the: 161 were made by General Scuofield 371 in 186s. The number of app s made by General Stoneman in 1865 was 175 and in 1+69 1,817, The whole number of offices in the State is 5.461, of which 2,7 are yet to be filled. Gen.

SuwaTs.—The House concurrent resolution to provide tor the adjournment of the two Houses on Tuesday, April 6, was read. Mr. Fessenden sais it would be w' im- possible to adjourn on the ory named. There — yet two appropriation bills to be coasid- ithony thought they were as just as iroment Dow as they would éver be. den thought it would be much tofixany day until atleast the In- dian bill was finally disposed of. Mr Sumner concurred in the opinion of Mr. Fessenden, but there was also the whole Subject of Georgia, which had not yet been considered. 1¢ was wrong to talk about going home untl this matter was settled. If they abandoned the Union people of Georgia, wha! guaramee had the Union people of Texas and Mississippi that they would not also be left un- Protected. Then there was the subject of nata- Talization which also ought to be attended to. not attempt to lecture Senators, but he thought they would not be doing their duty if they should leave their posts with all thi= done, and the people would so regard it, Mr. Howe thought the longer they si bere the more t wool’ find to do. "He tad been here since 1865 expecting Feconstructed, and it was no nearer being re. constructed pow than it was then. The fact was that this reconstruction required not only time, but a little common sense. Mr. Hamlin moved to strike out Taesday, April 6, and insert Saturday, April iv, by which time he did not doubt that everything tbat was necessary could be considerea ‘Mr. Anthony eaid the Senator from Massa- chusetis (Mr. Sumner) was not a safe guide as to the proper time for adjoursiment, as he had always boon opposed to sa sajoerament. ir Sumner asked what ator propos- ed _to do with Geo! “4 Mr. Anthony had apoat come to the conclu- sion to let Georgia alone.

Anthony.—I do not think it is necessary to do anything for Virginia at this session. Mr. Conkling said the Reconstruction Gom- muttee of the House, which had considered this matter much more carefully than any commit- tee of this body, had concurred im the day for adjournment proposed by the House. ‘Warner was as anxious as any Senator to get away, but he could not think it right to leave here with the status of Georgia unsettled. rgia was now half in the Union and half one thing or the other should be done with her, Mr. Fessenden was not bothered at all about Georgia, but he re) that it was not expe- dient just now to fix the day of adjournment. If Senators would only quit the practice of telling all that they know or all that they thought they knew on every subject that came Up, It would be much easier to get through and adjourn. He sbould not vote for the amend- ment of bis colleague (Mr. Harlan) as be thought it would be much better to fix the fol- low! ‘Tuesday. Mi kling said in the last three years they bad ordinary sessions and extraordinary ses- ons, the necessity for which grew ont of the ar, and there was nothing now that the peo- ould be so to the old order of things these extra sessions. If the it was fixed then the Senate ‘would go to work and attend to the necessary business, but if the fixing of the day of adjou ment was delayed, all soris of measures would continue to be brought up here Mr. Thayer bad listened in vain for any tingle reason for an early adjournment, and he took issue with the Senator from New York. (Mr. Conkli He had seen no expression of Any dissatisfaction on the part of either the press or the people at Congress remaining 10 session, and he believed it was their opiuion that Congress should remain here until it had finished its work, Mr. Robertson moved to strike out the 10th and fusert the 15th of April. Mr. Sherman said there were two bills which had not been mentioned, but which ought to be passed before the adjournment.
