INTERNATIONAL CABLE —The Presi- t. according to the correspondence he sib- mitted to the Senate yesterday in reference to sires the representatives of all the European and North and South American Governments at Washington to enter, jointly and severally, into negotiations with the United States, and with eaeh other, with a view ot con- eluding a joint convention for the establishment of cable tines between the United States and the various countries thus represented. WHEN THE PHILosorHeER of the Tribune was in Washington last week he went to the Treas- ury building, and while passing throngh one of its corridors his Grecian face and graceful movements attracted the attention of a couple of Treasury girls who happened to meet him. *« [ wonder who that is” quoth one. "t know, I'm sure,” replied the other. “Why h, nothing. Only he’s the man that swore so awfully at the Inauguration Ball last spring. He beat anything I ever heard.” ach is fame! ‘Tue Tainp Avprrorsmir.—At last advices, uo new candidates have appeared for the above position, made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Clark. That is, none in addition to the list of applicants whose claims were pressed at the be- ginning of the present administration, when Mr. Clark carried away the prize, but these are pretty nearly all understood to be in the tie!d again So far, Mr. Gangewer, the chief clerk of the office, Gen. E. C. Whittelsey, of the Free:d- men’s bureau, and Mr. Holt, of the Internal Revenue office, appear to be the most prominent on the list. Of these three, Mr. Gangewer's chances seem to be considered best, on account of bis great experience in the office and his staunch Republicanism, and if he does not get it bis friends will attribute his failure to the fact that he is from Ohio, which State, it is alleged, has now more than her fair share of bureau offices. After him comes Gen. Whittelsey, whese triends are quite sanguine, and who, it is conceded on all hands, would make a most ex- cellent officer, ——— ime BALTIMORE Arnrests.—Senator Carpen- ter introduced a bill to-day “ to secure and pro- tect the freedom of transit within the United States.” It provides, among other things, that no citizen of the United States, in passing from one place to another within the same, shall, ex- cept as hereivafter provided, be subject to capias, summons, citation, or other process, of whatever nature, in a civil action, suit, or cause, whether mcesne precess or execution, in any State, Territory, or District through which he may be passing, and of which he is not a citizen, unless he shall voluntarily tarry therein for the space of more than twenty-four hours.” This te evtdently intended to put a check upou the propestity ef Baltimore to fasten upon any stray Congressmen passing through that city, as in the case 0Y Gen. Butler. Narionat Bank CrecvLaTion.—Mr. Sum- ner intreduced fu the Senate this morning a bill to amend the banking act, and to promote the return of specie payments, which provides that so much of the banking act as limits the issue of bills to €300,000,000 be repealed, a isting banks may be enlarged and new ban! may Pe organised Tutthe discretion of the See- retary of the Treasury, but no more bills than are now anthorized by the Lanking act shall hereafter be issucd &: the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, at the time of their issue, can and docs cancel and destroy a like amount of legal tenders; and the increase of bank bills hereby authorized shall not exceed $50,/ 200 per year, Lich amount shall be so distributed by the eretary of the Treasury a5 to equalize as near possible the banking ‘aterest of the ditferent States.

The Board re- sumed the consideration of the question of the improvement of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and after the report on the subject had been amended so as to include in its recommenda- tions the harbors of Mobile, Richmond, Savan- uah and Charleston, it was adopted. The Com- mittee on the Resumption of Specie Payments made a report, allirming the necessity of the restoration of @ specie standard of value, and making sundry recommendations; but, after de- bate, all the propositions were defeated, and in place of them the Boartl adopted only the first resolution of the wajority report, declaring its belief that the resumption of specie payment is an imperative necessity.
