Scattergood, Wistar, and Evans, of the Philadelphia Society of Friends, had an inter- view with the President this morning relative to the government of the Indians, their plan being to have the Friends control the Saperin- tendent of Indian Affairs and the subordinate agents. THE ScrReME Court of the United States is to hold a session during the montns of Ucto- ber, November and December, and then adjourn over the holidays to the Ist of Febraary, wnen the Court will hold another sessien of three months.

Between three and fonr o'clock some of the office-seek- ets im waiting were admitted. A Texas dele- gation, headed by Governor Hamilton and Judges Caldweil and Paschal, called at the White House at three o'clock to pay their re- spects. THE Paciric RalLRoaD ComMITTER of the House, at their meeting this morning closed the argument on both sides, and received farther documents trom the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific companies. The probabilities are that the committee will not take any defi- niteaction on the matters referred to them, a: thissession of Congress; but report a resola- tion. the effect of which will b+ to throw the settlement of the questions involved over to next winter. THe RECEPTION of Mrs. President Grant which came off at too late an hour yesterday for us to make more than s brief mention of it in the STAR of last evening, was most bril- Nant ana successfal affair. The reception Tooms were crowded, and among the callers ‘were most of Seg spinoany bean pros ent sojourning in the Federal Metropolis. ext reception 1s looked torward to with fibicy interest, Ta® Hovas Committee on Foreign Affairs, at their meeting Umis morning, authorized Gen. erai Banke to report a resolution recommend- ing the.appaintment of 3 commission by the President to make inquiries into the financial condition ot the Island of St. Domingo, pro- ducts of the Island, and the feelings of the in- habitants; with a view to getting information um regard to the desirability of assuming the proposed protectorate of that Island.

Thr amoant of coin now on hand is abont $82,000,000 and it 1 estimated tha $16,000,000 will be received during this month. The payment of interest at any time with re- batement is not yet in successful op»ration as it is so near the date of the maturity of the cou- pons, but no doubt after the first of May large FAayments of interest under this plan will be made. Ounax Darecanion. Yesterday afternoon Senora Emilia ©. de Villaverde, Jose Cazano- va, (son and daughter of Inocencto Cazanoyo, an American citizen imprisoned in Cuba,) and Miss M. Yzquierdo, with Major Leland, had an interview with President Grant. The President informed them that he had consulted with the Secretary of State about the matter, and that be would give thesubject careful cor- sideration. The interview (a private one) way quite affecting, Senora de Villaverde shedding tears while speaking of the imprisonment of her father. THERE 1s a good deal of hard swearing at Toledo, Ohio, we judge, by some docum-nts that have reached us, in regard to the appoint- ment of Dennison Steele as Postmaster there, vice Alexander Reed. It is charged by the Toledo papers that ex-Representative Ashley has been instrumental in the removal of Reed, ‘Whose retention had been asked for by the lending business men of Toledo. it is stated tbat Asbley threatens to stay in Washington un il he has «gutted all the Toledo offices.” It ig evident that things are not harmonious im the Toledo Di istrict. Twar, in the Navy Department at least, friends of the aaministration are to have the preference in all cases over its oppenents, in giving employment at the Navy Yards and elsewhere, is shown by the following ord>r, Premulgated at the Philadeiphia Navy Yard last week: ComManpant’s Orrice, US. Navy Yar, Putvapetpata, March 31, 1869.—Str: By di rection of the Navy Department, you will see tbat no person hostile to the present adminis. tration will be employed in the yard depart. ment under your control.

Commandant fu CORRESPONDENCE recently called for by the Senate between Hon. John P. Hale, our Minister to Spain, and Mr. Perry, his Secretary of Legation, bas been received trom the State Department and referred to the Commitiee on Foreign Relations, as an Executive document. It is understood that the committee have had the subject under consideration, and it is ra- karded as purely a private quarrel between Mesers. Hale and Perry, and the committee is not disposed to take any action in the matter. In the meantime the Secretary of State has ad- dressed communications to Minister Hale and Mr. Perry, informing them that their resigna- tions will be acoepted, and thata new Minister and Secretary of Legation will shortly be no:n- inated. AN AGGRESSIVE looking female, somewhat past middie age, entered the STAR sanctum unceremoniously this moraing, and with many words proceeded to tell her “pititul story.” Sbe bad come all the way from Chicago to look after a revolationary clam. Her grandfather, she stated, had (in the language o1 Solon Shin- gle) “fit into the Revolution,” and she had been told that by coming to Washington she could get something through Congress. She had been here some weeks, and had spent her Iast cent without accomplishing anything, and having read somewhere Don Piatt’s account of the raid on newspaper offices for passes, which she took all in good earnest, she had called to see whether the STak editors could not accom. modate her with 8 railroad pass to go home, as sbe understood they had plenty of such things laying around loose. She was politely informed that the STAR office was not sufficiently on the good books of the railroads leading from Wash. ington to accommodate her; whereupon she took her departure heartily anathematizing Congress, the city of Washington, and news- Paper men, the STAR corps p:rticularly.

REPORT OF SUR-COMMITTFEZ ON NAVAL AF- Paixs. Tne followin: is the report of Messrs. Stevens, of New Hampshire, and Archer, of Maryland, the sub-committee of the Naval Commi.tee of the House of Representatives on the eight-hour question, and the wages of la.’ borers connected therewith: To the House Committee on Naval Affairs—Gen- temen: The sub-committee, to whom was re- ferred the letter of the Secretary of the Navy Tequesting a repeal of che eight-hour system, beg leave to report that at the date of eaic jet: ter, a8 well as at the time of the reference, it was understood that the department Bad no Power to reduce the wages of the laborers, workmen and mechanics in their employ below the current bed = for similar labor out- side, such havi: Ing been the opinion of Attorney General Evarts in giving a construction of the Jaw. Smee the reterence, however, Department have issued an order reducing sach wages 2) per cent. This construction of the law, in the opinion of the sub-committ-e, renders its repeal unnecessary for the purposes of economy, as suggested in the letter of the honorable Secretary, as, under the present con. stroction, @ reduction of wages pro rata can be mace. In regard to the other and more genera! ground taken by the secretary, that the law i= working very injuriously to theinterests of the navy, the coinmiitee are of the opinion that its repeal would be in accordance with the prin. ciples and poticy which have been adopted by Congress, somewhat experimentally, perhaps im regard to these classes of employees, The joint resolution constituting eight hours 4 day's Work was passed June 25th, 1-05, and has not, as far as your committeecan Ivara, given rise to any complaint of an official char. acter until the recent letters of the Secretaty of the Navy referred to. In the opinion of your committee it would have been just and proper that the Committee on Appropriations snould bave reported asum sufficient to carry on the work in all departments of. the govercin-n: under the eight-hour law, and if they have failed to do 80 In the case of the Navy, as the letter of the Secretary implies, and have cu down the appropriations to the lowest figares. as the Si oretary states, thereby causing embar. rasement to the public service, the Iaw const tating eight hours a day’s work ought not avy sense to be charged with the embarrac, men Such neglect may be good reason why work should be suspended until the deficiency in thr Appropriations can be supplied, but it can have bo legitimate bearing upon the important and disturbing question of wha: shall constitu'e * day’s work in government employ. It carn’ be taken even as an indication that Congres+ intended to abandon the policy which it has established under the law. Your commi'- tee believe that the law should have a fair and impartial trial im all branches of the pubiic service to which it is applicable, and that it shoula not be repeaied bastily, or in the beence of a searching investigation into its re- sults. For these reasons they canuot recom. mend its immedi ate repeal. On the other hand, the committee are of the opinion that, inasmuch as the wages of tbe workmen and mechanics have been reduced 2 Per cent. by order of the Department, and that the reduction must necessarily cause great in- convenience aud hardship among the larze number of men employed at the lower class of ‘wages, while it males an invidious distinction between the employees in tne Navy Depart- ment and those of the same classes in other branches of the public service, it would be Just and proper to recommend the passage of a declaratory joint re solution, as tollows Resolved by the Senate and House of Represon tatives.
