The books of the Treasury Department show that the reeeipts from all sources since the Ist inst., have been light as compared with those ef the past three or four months, while the expendi- tureshave been rather heavy on all accounts, especially those of the War Department. ‘Tue Uxitep Staves SENATORS Prom IowA. Both branches of the Iowa Legislature, in joint convention, yesterday afternoon ratified the elec- tion of Hon. Geo. G. Wright as United States Senator for the long term, and J. B. Howell, editor of the Keokuk Gate City, for the short term. “Scnoot” don’t keep at Wall's Opera House after to-night. Miss Laura Keene, in order to give our citizens an idea of the diverse accom- plishments of her excelleat company, will per- form to-morrow night for the first time im this city Molliere’s celebrated comedy, “ The Saucy Housemad.” TRE EXPEDITION to the Isthmus of Darien (that was to have sailed from New York to-mor- row) will now be delayed for two weeks or more, on account of an accident which befell the flag- ship, the Nipsic. She was run into by the steamer John Bell, in New York harbor, during the prevalence of a fog, and was badly dam- aged, and has been sent over to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for repairs. AT THE NATIONAL THEATER, last night, there was an old farce tolerably well played; Mrs. Alice Dunning Lingard in her “Boquet of Mel- odies,”’ introducing several popular songs; Mr- Lingard in his specialities; and a third repre- sentation of the burlesque “Pluto,” introducing Mrs. Lingard in her sprightly impersonation of *Orpheus”—a pleasing variety, certainly, and duly appreciated by the very large audience present. Mrs. Lingard is a graceful actress and fine singer. To-night the same bill is repeated. Max MARetzer’s [Taian Opera Trovre, which is to appear here next week, at the Na- tual Theater, opened at the Holiday Street Theater, in Baltimore, last night, in “ I Tro- vatore,” and according to the Baltimore papers made a most favorable impression. The center of attraction was the celebrated tenor, Lefranc. Like Wachtel, the great tenor, who raised him- -clf from poverty and obscurity to wealth and renown, Lebrane’s great point of attraction is his capacity to take a chest note as high as C. Madame Briol made a good impression, and the chorus and orchestra are said to have been strong. Those who wish to secure good seat for next week should apply at Metzerott’s music store at once. Tue Seconp State Dixver of the President took place last evening, at the Executive Man- sion. The President occupied a seat at the cen- terof the table, with Mrs. Senator Wilson on his right. Next her was Senator Cole, Mrs. Jus- tice Davis, Justice Miller, Mrs. Geo. W. Childs, Hon. F.C. Beaman and Mrs. Heaton. To the left of the President were Mrs. Justice Swayne, Senator Thurman, Miss Nellie Chase and Hon. David Heaton. Mrs. Grant sat immediately op- posite the President, supported on her right by Chief Justice Chase, Mrs. Senator Cole, Justice Clifford, Mrs. H. C. Burchard, Justice Field, Mr. Geo. W. Childs of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Marshal Sharp; on her left by Senator Wilson, Mrs. Justice Field, Senator Warner, Mrs. F. C. Beaman, Justice Davis, Mra, J. F. Asper and Hon. C. A. Eldridge. At one end of the table were Hon. J. F. Asper and Marshal Alex. Sharp; at the other Hon. H. C. Burchard and Mr. Fred- erick Dent, the father-in-law of tho President. Mr. Orville H. Grant, a brother of the Presi- dent, now on a visit to this city, was unable to at- tend the dinner, though it was expected that he would be present. ‘The President was in a full black suit, with white cravat, as were nearly all the male guests. The tcilets of the ladies were superb, Mrs. Grant being attired in a lavender rep silk, low cor- sage. trimmed with satin and point lace, and rich point lace cape. Her hair was arranged in a most becoming manner and adorned with & wreath of flowers, with a delicate spray fall- ing over the back of the head and depending upon the neck. Her jewels were diamonds and pearls. Mrs. Childs (who with her husband is visiting at the Executive Mansion) wore a bean- tiful pink silk, elaborately trimmed with satin of the same color; hair adorned with pink flow- ers. She wore amethyst jewelry. Mrs. Mar- shal Sharp was attired in a heavy black rep silk, richly trimmed with black guipure lace,a cherry-colored sash, and coral jewelry. The costumes of all the ladies were of the most cost- ly and elegant character. Tax Visit or Prixck ARTatR—The ball to be given to Prince Arthur on Tharsday even- ing next, at Masonie Hall, by the British Min- ister, has been erroneously supposed to be a ublic entertainment, aud since the announce- ment that it was to be given, Mr. Thornton has been besieged for invitations by various per- sons, among whom are many ladies ambitious of tripping it with a Prince for a partner. The ball is, however, to be strictly private, and only about five hundred invitations will be issued, embracing the Diplomatic Corps, with the most prominent Govern- ment officials and their families, all per- sonal friends of the British Minister. Mr. ‘Thornton, accompanied by his secretary, Mr. French, will leave for New York to-night, and meet the Prince to-morrow morning. The Prince will remain in New ‘York to-morrow night, and leave for Washington on Saturday . He will not receive or pay any visits im New York, as it is his intention after leaving Washington to return to New York and spend some days there. He will be the guest of Mr. Thornton during his sojourn in Washington, and on Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Thorn- ton will invite all the members of the British to meet the Prince. On Monday he will call’ at the Exeeutive Mansion to pay his respects to the President. Inthe evening there will be a dinner at the British Legation, to which have been ‘invited the Vice President, Chicf Justice Chase, General Sherman, Senator Sumner, and all the members of the Cabinet. ‘There will be a reception in the evening, to which the families of the cabinet and members of the-diplomatic corps only will be invited. On Tuesday there wil] be another dinner at the British legation, to which the British minister aud Mrs. Thornton have invited Senators Cam- cron, Casserly, Morton, Conkling, Hamlin, the ‘Speaker of the House, the Prussian, Russian, Austrian, and Turkish ministers, and Admiral Dahigten. On Wednesday the Prince will dine with the President. On Thursday the Prince will dine with the Secretary of State and Mrs. Fish, and in the evening attend the ball at the Masonic Hall above referred to. On Friday there will be another dinner at the British lega- Argentine, Peruvian, Danish, Spanish, Bra- vilian, and Netherlands ministers. On Saturday the Prince will probably leave for New York. Stat. WASHINGTON, D. C.. THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1870. Lonp Wernersy and Sir Clarence Padgett, of Prince Arthur's suite, have arrived here and are the guests of Mr. Thornton, the British Minister. Ar'rue Warm Hovsr—at one o'clock this afternoon, a lunch was given by the President to the Indian Commission. Among those pres- ent were Wm. E. Dodge and wife, of New York; Geo. H. Stuart and wife, of Philadelphia; Mr. Bruno and wife, of Pittsburg; Col. Campbeli and wife, of St. Louis; George W. Childs and wife, of Philadelphia, and Rev. Dr. Hall, of New York. Tue CENSUS OF 1870.—In the Senate to-day Mr. Conkling, from the Special Committee, re- ported a substitute for the census bill as it passed the House. The substitute directs the Secretary of the Interior so to change the schedule and bianks to be used in enumerating the inhabitants of the United States in 1870 as to make the same conform to the constitution of the United States. Under this bill the cengus must be taken on the old plan under direction of the United States Marshals. THE COLONIZATION SoctETY—Visit to the Pre- sident.—This morning the Board of Managers of the American Colonization Society, who have been in session here since Tuesday last, called on President Grant at the Executive Mansion. Mr. Latrobe, the President of the society, after introducing the Managers, wh¥were cordially received by the President, made a few remarks explaining the objects of the society, and speak- ing of what has already been accomplished to- wards the civilization of Africa. President Grant replied briefly, expressing his sympathy with the objects of the society, and his hope that much good may result from its efforts. Cash IN THE TREASURY.—The coin balance in the Treasury at this date is $53,000,000, and $50,000,000 in gold-bearing certificates. The currency balance is about $6,000,000, which is rather a smaller sum than is usually on hand. Im addition to this, however, there are about $16,000.00 in the vaults which have been placed to the credit of disbursing officers of the Gov- ernment, upon their requisitions, and which is checked out by them from time to time to liqui- date accounts against the Government, Hence, the $6,000,000 balance is a surplus fund sufficient to meet any demand, and in case of an emer- gency the $16,000,000 could be used, as a good portion of it will probably lay in hand a week or two. NomINnations.—The President sent the fol- lowing nominations to the Senate this after- noon:—First Lieutenant Robert H. Montgomery to be Captain 5th Cavalry; Second Lieutenant F. C. Nurland to be First Lieutenant 5th Cav- alry; Second Lieutenant F. P. Gross to be First Licutenant 9th Infantry; First Lieutenant B. F. Rittenhouse to be Captain 5th Artillery; Second Lieutenant John MeLellan to be First Lieuten- ant 5th Artillery. THE BALTIMORE AND Poromac RAILROAD.— Mr. Scott introduced in the Senate to-day a bill to extend the time for the completion of the lateral branch of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, and to change the location in the city of Washington along the bank of the canal. It extends the time for the completion of the road trom February 5th, 1871, to February Ist, 1875. The souinny is authorized to adopt a line in the city of Washington from south Fourth street curving to the right either to the north or south bank of the canal northwestwardly to Virginia avenue. Referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. Drxxer PaRty.—General Harvey aud Dick Schell, two well-known Democratic politicians of New York city, having been summoned by the Committee on Banking and Currency to give testimony concerning the New York gold conspiracy, have determined to enjoy them- selves while here. Last evening they gave an elegant dinner party at the Arlington to a num- ber of friends. There were present Seuators Fenton and Casserly, Representatives Butler, Schenck, Banks, Brooks, Logan, Judd, Poland, Voorhees, Schumaker, Fernando Wood, Slocant and Ketchum, General James Watson Webb, Commodore Garrison, General McDowell, Gen- eral Rufus Ingalls, James R.

Mr. Seward shook hands with all the officers and replied briefly to the welcome. He complimented the people on the improvements they had made smce his former visit. All na- tions, he said, were interested in the permanent peace and prosperity of Cuba. I pray God this progress may continue, and peace and harmony restored to the Island.
