Washington News and Gossip. PAYMASTER M. B. Cusutnc has been ordered to temporary duty in the Burean of Provisions and Clothing, at the Navy Department. M-vor Bowen was at the Capitol to-day, and before the conference committee of the House and Senate relative to the appropriation of $30,000 for the relief of the poor of this District. GEN. Stoccm, of the Brooklyn district, was before the House Committee on Naval Affairs yesterday advocating the sale of the Brooklyn vavy-yard. He thinks the property could be sold for $26,000,000. Gen. F. A. WALKER, recently appointed Su- perintendent of the Census, yesterday resigned his position as Deputy Special Commissioner of the Revenue in charge of the Bureau of Statis- tics. GEorG1A.—The Senate Judiciary Committee gaye a hearing on the Georgia case this morn- ing to several gentlemen opposed to Governor Bullock, who made their statements, and at the next meeting the committee will hear Governor Bullock's side of the quegtior Prorgsson Coox, who lectures at Lincoln Hall, this evening, upon “The Iceficlds of Mont Blane,” spent much time among the Alps, and has brought back with him a series of splendid views, which, thrown upon canvass by means of the electrical light, will furnish a most pleasing, as well as instructive, evening’s entertainment. Corton Cases.—A number of Treasury cot- ton cases from the Court of Claims were taken up for argument in the Supreme Court yester- day. These cases were brought under the cap- tured and abandoned property act of 1863, and involve various questions of fact. besides the question of the date of the close of the rebellion. Miss ALipe Torr, a great favorite in musical circles here since her appearance as a pianistin Miss Kellogg’s and Ole Bull’s concerts in this city, intends to give a farewell concert at Lincoln Hall on Monday evening next, prior to her de- parture for Brazil on the 23d inst., from which country she will return to Germany. She will be assisted by Mr. J. Levy; also, by Miss Beebe, an excellent soprano, and Mr. Bandolfi,a fine baritone. EXTENSION OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIEs.— Tife necessity of a more general education of the people, and the importance of extending facilities for education in regions destitute of schools, has recently attracted much attention here. The speech of Mr. Prosser, of Ten- nessee, on the promotion of education, is ob- taining a large circulation. It will probably reach 100,060 copies. Among its subscribers are Gencral O. O. Howard for 2,000 copies, and A. S. Barnes & Co., of New York, for 4,000 copies. THE TuEATERS.—Notwithstanding the in- clemency of the weather, the National has been crowded the last two evenings with intelligent and refined audiences, to witness Mr. Daven- port’s impersonation of “ Hamlet,” and we expect there will be another rush to-night to see him as “Sir Giles Overreach,” in “A New Way to Pay Old Debts,” a character in which the elder Booth had no rival. Weare glad to see that Miss Keene has had the good judgment to withdraw “ Christmas Eve,” a stupid production, which not even the spirited acting of herself and company could redeem from the deserved condemnation which awaits all such dramatic abortions. To-night Miss Keene appears as ‘ Toinette, the Saucy Housemaid,” in Charles Reade’s adaptation of Molliere’s delightful comedy. “Le Malade Imagiuaire,” and play-goers who fail to see it will miss a great treat. Its two former repre- sentations by this company were among their greatest successes, and drew very large houses. Tue ReevtarR ArTenNoon Recertion of Mrs. President Grant yesterday was a very pleasant affair, and attended by many persons notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. Mrs. Grant was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Senator Harlan, Mgs. Senator Pomeroy, Mrs. General Fremont, Mrs. Aubrey Smith, Miss Nettie Chase, Mrs. Marshal Sharp, Mrs. Gene- ral Dent, Miss Judge Miller, and Miss Wash- burn. General Michler presented the visitors to Mrs.Grant as they entered the parlor. After the adjournment of the Cabinet, the President joined Mrs. Grant, and Marshal Sharp assisted in the introductions to the President. Among those present were Senator and Mrs. Thayer, Mre. General Fremont, Mrs. Senator Harlan, Miss Nettie Chase, Secretary and Mrs. Belknap, Secretary Robeson, Major William G. Morris and wife, California; Governor Bullock, of Georgia; Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, Paymaster John S. Cunningham, United States Navy, and |. K. Hurlburd, Esq., Comptroller of the Currency, and Mrs. Hurlburd; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bancroft Davis, the Brazilian and Prussian Ministers, and the wife of the Prussian Minister; Hon. Horace Capron, Commissioner of Agri- culture; Hon. Montgomery Blair and Mrs. Blair, and others. FasnioNaBLE Weppinc.—The Church of the Epiphany, on G street, was fifled last evening, at 7 o'clock, with a fashionable company, to witness the marriage of Lieutenant Commander Augustus G. Kellogg, U.S.N., to Miss Bettie Evans, daughter of A. H. Evans, Esq., for many years Washington correspondent of seve- ral leading journals. The interior decorations of the church, which have been allowed to re- main since Christmas, and the illumination from many gas jets, with the rich and elegant toilets of the ladies—many being in full evening dress— scene avery .

THe WALL-steeeT INVESTIGATION.—The House Committee on Banking and Currency had a short session this morning, and talked over the evidence before them in reference to the recent gold panic in New York, but heard no further testimony. Nomixations.—The President to-day sent the following nominations to the Senate : Jesse R. Grant to be Postmaster at Coving- ton, Ky. dohn IL. Campbell to be Postmaster at Lans- ingburgh, N. Y. James M. Cromly to be Postmaster at Colum- *bus, Ohio. Tue FREEpDMEN’s BUREAU ANDITS ScHooL Work.—The Joint Committee on Retrenchment have had another hearing on the question of closing upthe Freedmen’s Burean and putting its school work into the hands of the Commis- sioner of Education, and have ascertained that the execution of this project will result in an an- nual saving of about $35,000. They will accord- ingly report favorably, drawing their bill with care, 80 as to prevent any infringement by the Bureau of Education on the right of each State to control its own educational matters. Retimep Orriéers.—An order from the head- quarters of the army directs that under the provisions of the act approved January 21, 1870, all retired officers who have been assigned to duty will be considered as relieved from such assignment on the 21st instant, and will to such homes as they may elect. Retired of- ficers detailed as professors at colleges will be considered as relieved from the detail, but they are at liberty to remain at the colleges, if they desire, under any private arrangement with the authoritic It is understood that re- ies thereof. tired officers may enter upon any private busi- ness; that they have a right to change their place of residence, cr travel at their own pleas- ure without further authority, except to leave the United States to go beyond sea. REORGANIZATION OF THE District Courts. Mr. Hamlin this morning introduced a bill sup- plementary to the act to reorganize the courts of the District of Columbia, which provides that the President shail appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, an additional Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, with like powers and same salary as the other Justices. Whenever at a Court in General Term held by four of the Justices the court shall be equally di- vided, the petitioner or appellant may have the canse reargued before the tive Jus- tices All the powers and jurisdiction now held by the Orphans’ Court shall hereatter be held and exercised by one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, and the present Orphans’ Court is abolished by the act. The salariesof the tices of the Supreme Court are fixed at $5,000 | irl Referred to the Judiciary Com- mittee. TELEGRAMS 'T0 THE STAR. This Afternoon’s Dispatches. ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS.

SENATE.—Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to increase the number of Supreme and Circuit Justices of the Courts of the United States, and to establish the boundaries of Circuits. Re- ferred to Committee on the Judiciary- On motion of Mr. Pomeroy, the President was requested to communicate any information relative to the action of any of the Departinent= concei the claim of the Central Branch Union Pacific railroad tor lands or bonds on ac- count of the extensioy of their road. Mr. Ferry called up his order directing the Judiciary Committee to ascertain whether the Of Georgia, as at present consti- tuted, is a legal body, which was passed. On motion of Mr. Sherman, the Funding Dil! was mace the I order for Tuesday next. ‘On motion ot Mr. Sherman, the Attotney Gen- eral was directed to inform the Senate of any claim set up by the late postmaster at August:i, G , for compensation during his suspensio: from office, and whether said postmaster was in Teality eligible to said office. Mr. Morton called up his bill making it a mis- demeanor to fit out or equip ships of war, or to sell or furnish arms or munitions of war with intent that they shall be employed in the ser- vice of sn y foreign prince or State, to commit 08 against the people of any province, district, or colony, who are in @ state of armed insurrection against such foreign prince or State, and providing for the forfeiture of such ship or vexse Mr. Morton stated that he [ner in his re- marks on this bill to address himself particular- ly to the case of Cuba. He held, first, that where any remote province of any government, and not an in part of the empire, was ca. ead of maintaining itself and no voice in e control.of affairs, it had the perfect right to sever its connection with the mother country. If an insurrection should break out in Caledonia, the Spanish Government would have the right to subdue, as essential toself preservation, just as in the case of the rebellion of our Soutticrn States. The colonies of Spain had never been treated as integral parts of the empire, they were allowed no share in the Government, fies were reigned over by military despots, trom whose rulings there Was no appeal. This wa. the case of Cuba. It was folly for the Spanish Government to claim Cuba asan integral part of the empire. He would not now discuss whether the insurrection in Cuba had attained to such proportions as to entitle it to recognition as belligerents, but it was certain that the whole force of the Spanish army and navy had as yet made but littie progress against the in- surgents. As it now stands, we are the allies of Spain, our citizens furnish Spain with gunboats andarms; but any attempt to do the same for the Cubans is strictly stopped and punished. y tell Spain that we cannot help her in gle. Consider how bloody and revolt- ing is the war carried on by Spain, without any regard to the dictates of humanity. Here are our neighbors and friends in Cuba, 1,200,900 01 them, allied tous by the ties of syn Lusiness, there they are govern aN roy whose only object is to plunder them. execute, and trausport them without trial: . not one word of sympathy or enconrageme: slave we m d to the struggling Cuban we have never treated any other people as we have treated her. Cuba belongs to this country. She comes as clearly within the Monroe doctrine as if she was a part of the mainland; and we should not assist, directly or indirectly, an claim of a foreign government to hold an Am + ican colony. If Spain claims the right of natio: to draw her —_ ‘8 from us, we should reply that this is a departure from the Monroe trine. Morally, we have a perfect right to ass Cuba by arms, but as it is better that we shonid avoid entangling alliances, we should aid Spain in not the slightest degree, however. When Mr. Morton cercluded, the bill was referred to the Committee on Foreign Rela- ions. Mr. Anthony took the.fioor in reference to the Dill lately introduced by him, to reform public printing and abolish the gratuitous di tribution of ks by the Government. He said the printing of Congress had of late years diminished, while that of the Departments had increased. The Con; ‘ional printing last year cost $689,486, much of which was for —— to the De printing cost $646,045. le system of printing documents for gratuitous distributior should abandoned, as the ne pers now gave them to the public. Mr. Anthony spoke against the practice of publishing the laws and Government advertisements in papers of limited circulation. He advocated his bill, asserting that it would save hundreds of thousands of fence annually, and will relieve bpelctves Office Ne ntof a great en. It should espe- cially be dene now, when ‘economy is 80 desir- able. The bill of Mr. Anthony was then referred to the Committee on Printing. Mr. Trumbull, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported with amendment Hense bil: to admit the State of Mississippi to representa- tion in Congress. Also, with amendment, bill to change the ju- dicial circuits. ‘The Census bill came up as unfinished busi- E S, ness.
