The committee is now en gaged in revising the pay table of the Navy, and will cut off all commutations for rations, fuel, &e., and fix a definite salary for all officers, of both line and staff, dropping off all per centage, commutations, &c. THE WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT of the London News was pleased with the treatment accorded to Prince Arthur in Washington. Re- ferring to the reception at General Sherman's, the writer says:—“I was particularly struck with the well-bred air displayed by those pres- ent in regard to the distinguished visitor. While the euriosity to see him was not disguised, there was a total absence of any of that pushing and scrambling which, I am sorry to say, may often De seen in Europe among persons who ought to know a great deal better. Nothing could be nicer than the Prince’s carriage and bearing. His manner was courteous, dignitied, and grace- ful.” INFLATION GETS A BLACK EYE IN THE SEN- ATE.—Mr. Williams to-day offered the following resolution in the Senate, which was agreed to: Resolved, That to add to to the present irre- deemable paper currency of the country would be to render more difficult and remote the re- sumption of specie paymen foster the spirit of speculat produced by frequent an tions of values; to depreciate the credit of vation, and to check the healthfal t legitimate business to setile down vermanent basis, and therefore, in the opinion the Senate the existing volume of such cur- rency ought not to be inereased. : to ag ravate the sudden fluctua- the y of ‘THe Trip TO Axnar Legislature yesterday, Mr. Maddox, from the committee appointed to invite President Grant, the members cf Congress, Judges of the Su- preme Court, the Diplomatic Corps, and others, to visit the Senate and House of Delegates during an expected visit to Annapolis, reported that President Grant informed him that the pressure of public business was so great that it would be impossible for him to leave Wash- ington before Wednesday, when, he feared, the Monarch would have left Aunapolis. Vice President Colfax and Speaker Blaine were noti- fied of the action of the Legislature, but had not replied, owing to the many members of both Houses to be consulted. Baron Gerolt promised to notify the other members of the Diplomatic Corps of the action of the Legislature. —In the Maryland State Dixyer at THE Waite Hovsr.—The State dinner at the Executive Mansion last evening, like the preceding ones, was a brilliant affair.

In the rear of the parlors, which were given up to Terpsichorean uses, a platform had been erected and festooned with tlags, for the use of Weber's band. Among the guests were Gen’] George B.

In fact, he and General McClellan were the lions of the evening, and the introduc- tion and interchange of courtesies between the two was most jal. — Secretary Cox last evening gave the last of a series of receptions at his residence on Capitol ‘Hill, which tact added zest to the affair, as no one seemed inclined to miss the Jast reception of the season of the Secretary and his <a lady. Mr. Cox is the same to all, pleasant an “glad to see you,” and makes his guests fecl at home.

THE SALE oF CapeTsuirs.—In the House this morning, immediately after the reading of the Journal, Mr. Whittemore, the member from South Carolina, who sold his cadetship, arose aud addressed the Speaker. Speaker Blaine declined to recegnize the gen- tleman, and laid before the House the resigna- tion of Mr. Whittemore as a member, andthe acceptance of the same by the Governor of South Caroltna. stating that it was for the House to determine tf the gentleman should proceed. A lengthy debate ensued upon points of order, c., participated in by Messrs. Logan, Butler, sham, Farnsworth and others. General Logan held the tioor, and declined to yield to any one until the House should declare whether a vote should be taken on the resolu- tion reported bythe Committee. Some held that the resignation was not valid until the House had acceded to it, and others that it was implied the House had accepted it, Messrs. Dawes, Banks ‘and others contended for the former view, while the Speaker held to the latter, and was sustained by the House. Cranimous consent was asked for Whittemore to proceed, but was refused by the House. he resolution of the Military Committee was then laid on tife table, and Mr. Logan imme- diately offered a resolution declaring that Whittemore had disposed of his cadetships for a pecuniary consideration, and was therefore unworthy to occupy a seat in the House; which was adopted unanimously—155 members voting for it. Gen. Butler of course did not vote, having announced his intention not to vote on the ques- tion yesterday. Whittemore left the Hall, and his seat on the center was taken by Gen. Farnsworth. Several meimbers, when the yea and nay list was called, failed to answer to their names, The galleries were densely crowded long be- fore the House met.
