THe Ways AXD MEANS CommiITTEx have at present under consideration the coal question: The Nova Scotia coal interests have been rep- resented before the committee, urging a reduc- tion of the duty on this artigle, but the committee, while they have not made any decision, seem averse to reducing the tariff.

She was aided in receiving by Mrs. Borie and daughter (wife and daughter of ex-Secretary Borie, her cousin, Mrs. Smith; Mrs. Secretaries Fish, Boutwell, Cox and Cres- well. As soon as the Cabinet adjourned, Gen. Grant repaired to the Bine Koom, and remained surrounded by a bevy of beauty and fashion for nearly two hours. nm. Michler aided in the introductions, while all the Cabinet officers were present for some time. Mrs. Grant was attired in a lavender rep silk, trimmed with crape to correspond, and with white lace. Her hair was dressed with a delicate wreath and a spray of white flowers. Mrs. Smith wore @ ma- roon-colored sitk trimmed with satin of the same color, with white lace trimmings about the neck OvR Navy To BE RErxPoRCED.—The House Naval Committee has been discussing the sub- ject of iron-clads, and contemplates preparing a bill to authorize the construction of some iron vessels to compete with those of Franee and England in all respects.

Her hair was handsomely arranged, and she wore diamonds and jewelry. Among the ladies who called were Mrs. Senator Wilson and Mrs. Gen. Sherman.

Re- ferred to the Committee on the District of Co- lumbia, CHARGES AGAINST THE CONGRESSIONAL Purxten—The intimations afloat that charges would be made in Congress of mismanagement by the Congressional Printer were confirmed to- day by the introduction, by General Negley, in the House of a bill having for its object the Tepeal of the preseut law under which the Con- gressional Printer is elected by the Senate, and Providing that he shall be elected by the House and Senate jointly. The bill went to the Printing Committee, and it is understood that the committee will be called upon to investigate various charges of mismanagement at the Government office; mis- appropriation of the public moneys to the extent of $150,000 to $200,000; tyranny over employes, &e., Ke. The friends of Mr. Clapp allege that this de- monstration against him is influenced by parties who hope to be benefitted by his removal. Gen. Negley disclaims any other motive than that of public duty, and states that all he pro- poses is to have a fair, open investigation of the charges. ‘TuE PLAN OP THE NEW STATE DEPARTMENT BUILDING.—The plans for the new State Depart- ment building, prepared by Messrs. A. B. Mul- lett, Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, and Edward Clark, Architect in charge of the Capitol Extension, have been approved by the commission, consisting of Sec- retaries Fish, Belknap, Cox and General Mich- ler, appointed to examine the same and select a site for the building. It has net yet been deter- mined of what material the new building will be constructed, though it is probable that granite will be selected. It will have a front of 200 feet and a depth of 25, and be of the French Renaissance style. The general design consists of a center pavilion, with wings three stories high and Mansard roof. At each corner of the building there will be a pavilion of three inter- columniations, and a carriage porch on either end. The extreme height of the building in the center will be 95 feet; to the main cornice it will be 55 feet; and tothe top of the attic story 75feet. A terrace balcony will extend along the main front by the suite of rooms for the Secretary on the second ‘THE CHILDRENS’ MATINEE AT THE ARGEN- TINE LeGaTIon—Since the childrens’ party at the White House, during President Johnson's occupancy, no occasion has excited such inter- est among the juvenile portion of our community as the fancy matinee dansante at the residence of the Argentine Minister yesterday.

Wirrxe Our Tae National Dest.—Although the books of the Treasury Department show that the public debt on the Ist inst., principal and interest, less amount in the Treasury, was 92,448,746,953.31, the actual obligations of the Government will fall below this sum about 57 ,£00,000 at present, which amount daily in- creases.
