The President occupied his usual seat at the centre of the table, with Mrs. Senator Hamlin, Senator Davis, Hon. Hor- ace Maynard, Mrs. Senator Pomeroy, Hon. Wm. A. Wheeler, Hon. Jacob H. Ela, and Mrs. H.W. Slocum on his right. On his left sat Mrs. Sen- ator Howe, Senator Fenton, Senator Robertson, Mrs. Wm. D. Kelley, Hon. C. W. Gilfillan, Hon. John Hill, and Mrs. L. P. Poland.

Tue TuEaTens.—There w2s & very large and appreciative audience at the National Theater last evening to see Mr. E. L. Davenport's im- personation of that bold, bad man, “ Sir Giles Overreach,” in Massinger’s tine old play, “A New Way to Pay Old Debts,” and those who expected a faithful and spirited interpretation were not disappointed. Mr. Davenport had the quiet foree of Mr. Murdoch in the first four acts, and the fire of Booth in the last, particu- larly in the closing scene. He was fairly sup- ported, the only notable blemish being the oc- casional audible prompting of one or twoof the minor characters, which mars the beauty of any performance, no matter how excellent otherwise. The piece will be repeated this evening. “Toinetge, or the Saucy Housemaid,” attract- ed @ good audience to Wall's Opera House last evening, and to-night the company will appear in Sheridan’s sterling comedy, ‘The School for Scandal,” which they twice performed last week in such an effective manner as to win en- thusiastic applause from the large and intelli- gent audiences present on both occasions. To- morrow evening the company &ppear in three comedies.

Eowarp Taornron, the British Minis- ter, was at the Navy Department to-day, and informed Secretary Robeson that the English steamer Monarch would leave Portland, Me., on Sunday atterncon, for Annapolis. Tue Hovse Ways AND MEANS Commitrey this morning heard a delegation of whisky men in favor of extending the time tor withdrawing whisky from bond to three years. The delega- tion represents the whisky interests of Western Pennsylvania, (Rye,) Kentucky (Bourbon) and Tennessee, (Robinson.) ‘These whiskies will not be fit for market until after two or three years, and their withdrawal, as provided by present laws, would involve the owners in great loss. ‘The delegation represents that there are 13,000,- 000 gallons of this whisky in the bonded ware- houses, of which Kentuckians own 6,000,000, and that the payment of the taxes two years before the whisky could be placed in the mar- ket would involve them in rain. Tae QuEsTION OF RANK IN THE NavyY.—The question at issue between the line and staff of the Navy has been settied so far as the House Naval Committee is concerned. They have had the matter under consideration for some time, and finally in opposition both to the Depart- ment and the line officers, have decided to give the staff officers positive instead of assimulated rank. The bill is not yet finished, but the prin- ciple has been fully established by a very decided vote in the committee. So far as completed the bill provides that the medica! corps, active list, shall consist of ten Medical Di- rectors with the rank of captain; fiftecu Medi- cal Inspectors with the rank of commander; thirty-five Surgeons with the rank of lieutenant commander; and two Assistant Surgeons with the rank of ensign. Directors, Inspectors, and Surgeons are to have present pay and emolu- ments of Surgeons, Assistant Surgeons of three years © service who pass the proper examination for promotion are to have the rank of masters, and after five years’ service the rank of lieutenants. The bill further pro- vides that there shall be no promotion in the grade of lieutenant commander active list until the number shall be reduced below eighty. The numbers of masters and ensigns in line is fixed atone hundred of each grade. The committee atthe next meeting will take up the sections relating to the pay and engineer corps. ——--___ Railreads and Telegraph Lines.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS, This Afternoon’s Proceedin 28. ——————“__ Tuvespay, February 10. SENATE.—Mr. Chandier, from Committee on Commerce, reported the bill to reorganize the Marine Hospital service. Mr. Schurz introduced a joint resolution con- cerning colleges for the benefit of the agricul- tare and the mechanic arts. (It provides that no State that has not heretofore received the and by the United States for agricultural and mechanical coll shall in the future receive such lands, un! the col- leges to be established provide facilities of in- struction for all without regard to race or color.) The bill was referred to Committee on Eda- cation. -. Scott made some remarks, taking excep- tion to the statements of the Special Commis- sioner of the Revenue relative to the cost of manufacturing pig-iron in the northern dis- triets of Pennsylvania, and alluded to the morial of the iron manufactnrers of Pennsy uia, asking an examination into the cost ef sich manufacture, advocating that the petition should be granted. Mr. Sumner was excused, at his own request, from further service on the Committee on the Revision of the Laws. ‘The bill making appropriations to supply de- ficiencies in the appropriations for the naval service was taken up, and the amendments of the Committee on Appropriations were agreed to. ‘Mr. Cragin offered an amendment that the money appropriated shall be expended only to supply material for and pay the employes of those Bureaus for which it is appropriated, which was adopted. Mr. Morrill said the committee were sat- istied that the $8,000,000 9 isted would absolutely necessary for ‘ice of the B: reauto which it is distribated for this fiscal year. Itis the least possible sum with which they can get along. ill was then passed. Mr. Trumbull called up the bill to admit the State of Mississippi to representation in the Con- gress of the United States; the question by on the amendment of the Jaciciary Com: to strike out the proviso impysing conditions of Mr. Trumbull gavea brief account of the clee- tion in Mississippi, and the rejection of three clanses of the Constitution, giving the votes, &e., which has heretofore been published. He then said it was a perfect evidence of the libe- Fality of the peoplcoi Mississippi that they voted down the proscriptive clauses in their constita- tion. The opinion of the Judiciary Committee is that Congress has no power to imiose those a conditions of admission; that they are futile and can only be productive’ of evil. No conditions ought to be attached to the admission of any State. The people of Mississippi had acted in good faith, and there was nothing showing in the slightest degree and desire, or intention, on the part of M th done.

He was tired of hearing these continued iterations here that conditions must be imposed, that the dominant party may be consistent with its record on re- construction. He said that General Ames had been elected Senator, as he was informed by a letter receiv ¥, under a threat that otherwise Mississippi would not be admitted. Mr. Pomeroy said there was one thing that was a little curious to him in the case of Mississippi. They had voted down that clause of their constitution which prescribes an oath to cach voter that he recognizes the social and political equality of allmen. This was voted down by a large majority, although it is the gist of the 15 amendment ‘ow, although they have adopted the 15th amendment, by voting down this claase they reject the very principie which it contains, and hence there should be some hesitation about admitting that State without conditions. And at any rate, why should Mississippi be admitted without conditions, when conditions had been imposed upon Virginia?
