Leary and Ensign Albert Ross, U.S. N., have been ordered to signal duty at Washington, D.C. Assistant Surgeon Hampden Aulick has been ordered to the Washington Navy Yard. THE SENATE CoMMITTEE ON PRINTING, act- ing under a resolution of that body, has com- menced the investigation of charges preferred against Colonel Clapp, Congressional Printer, by seme of the former employes of the Printing Office. ComMANDER J. G. WALKER, of the U. S. steamer Sabine, reports to the Navy Depart ment that he left Genoa on the 18th of January, and touched at Spezzia, where he wae detained by bad weather until the 3d of February, when he sailed from there, and arrived at Naples, Italy, on the 1th of February; all well on board. Goxe Down with THE OwNEIpaA._Among those who were on board the ill-fated stgamer Oneida, which was recently sunk near Yokoha- ma, Japan, and whose names do not appear in the list of survivors, are Paymaster Thomas L. Tullock, Jr., of the Oneida, and son of Hon. Thomas L. Tullock, of this city, and acting Second Assistant Engineer John T. Smith, a resident of East Washington, who being ordered home wrote to his mother that he would take passage on the Oneida. Ensign Chas. A. Copp, brother of Professor Copp, of the Washington Business College, is also reported to have been on board; but it is hardly probable, as he was attached to the flagship Delaware, which, it is said, ison her way bome. First Assistant and acting Chief Engineer N. B. Littig, who does not appear on the list of the saved, is # native of Baltimore, and is well known in this city. Second Assistant Engineer Jon Fornance, of the Oneida, is well known lexandria, where he has many relatives and friends. ‘The officers at the Navy Department place no confidence in the detailed account of the sinking of the Onetda, brought by the ship Benefactress to San Francisco, and Cergergeod elsewhere in our paper. They hold that it contraslicts itself throughout. Thus it it states that Surgeon Sud- dards, with a crew of fifteen in one of the life boats, started for shore after pulling about the scene of the wreck without being able to dis- cover any one floating, although a cutter cor taining thirty-nine of the survivors was subse- quently picked up. It would have been impossible for the cutter to have been there and not have been (discovered by the boats crew of fifteen with Surgeon Suddards, especially it they were looking io find it. The Bombay, which is an immense iron steam- er, might have struck the Oneida on her stei as it is stated, and passed on, and the passe rs on the former might not have known any thing of it, the ship being so powerful that the collision would hardly have cansed a jar. It would, however, be impossible for the officers of the Bombay to remain in ignorance of the collision, ax some of them must have been on the lookout, and could not help seeing that they had struck aship, even if a dense fog had been prevailing at the time. Officers and Ss however, toust both have heard the guns of the Oneida. Official despatches are expected at the De- partment containing am account of the disaster. ¢ officers at the ‘partment do not believe that the officers of the Bombay could have pos- sibly acted in such an inhuman manner as rep- resented unless they were all intoxicated, which is not probable. Inquiries from anxious friends of the officers and crew of the Oneida are pour- ing in xt the Navy Department, and as soon as information is received It will be promulgated. Tre Career oF A Prima Donna—Few who attend the opera this week and note the ap- parent ease with which the stout, handsome sunny-faced prima donna executes her wonder- ful feats of vocalization have probably any idea of the right down hard work necessary to enable the cantatrice, however gifted, to attain great eminence. Parepa Kosa was born in Edinburg im 189. Her mother was a prima donna of con- siderable repute, a sister of Edward Seguin, the renowned basso, and her father was a Wal- lachian baror, Georgiardes de Boyesku. Pa- repa showed musical genius almost from the cradle, and when two years and a half old was able to sing such airs as the rondo of Amina in *Sonnambula” and showed a wonderful tacuity for retaining in the memory every melody and theme which fell upon her cars, Although her mother resisted for some years the temptation to fit her promising daughter for the stage, she did not neglect her musical education, and when at the age of fifteen it was decided to bring her out as an operatic soprano, she was made to undergo a course of vocal gymuastics before which most of our sopranos who sing “With Verdure Clad’ Voce” at our amateur concerts or who travel abont the country with their ** Luce di quest” and their “Coming Thro the Rye” would quail in abject terror. For eight months previous to stu her operatic repertory the was allowed to sing no note of any- thing but exercises—exercises—excrcises; and before she made her debut she had acquired (memorized) the melodies of forty operas! She made her debut in Malta in 1! fourteen years ago—as Ami in “ Somnambula,” and, oddly enough, she is desctibed as at that time lean, thin gitl, with @ straight bust, and em- barrassed by such extreme Sashfuinces that it was necessary to push her upon the stage. But however deficient in physique and selt-posses- sion, her voice showed itself a pure, fully-de- veloped soprano, and her debut was a great tri- umph. From that time her success was as- sured. She sang for some seasons in various continental cities in Italian opera with great eclat, but in 1860 was induced to in Eng- lish opera in London, under the Pyne & Har- rison administration. In 1863 she married Capt. Corvill, an officer of the East India service, of considerable distinction, just retired. He lost his own money and his wife’s to the extent of $250,000 in some mining speculations, and died in 1865, Atterwards Mr. Bateman secured her for an American concert tour, and Carl Rosa, & well-known violinist. and J: waged for same tour. tour fmeaaly on, “Papa” Bate- man would willingly have it, but there were European e: to be But next year Bateman her again, and, fomewbat Weipictouty, Cart om ‘war ‘along , and in 1867, after the completion of the concert scason, the twain were made one flesh, 2 the airs, “ Let the t him,” "The Mar- vellous Work,” and the “ Inflammatas,” ossini’s ler, Wi dth of the occasion, and as no other living artist could have attained.

THE GEORGIA LeoistaTcRE—Kerort or THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.—In com pliance with resolutions of the Senate instruct ing the Judicary Committee to inquire and re- port whether the Legislature of Georgia has been reorganized in accordance with the pro visions of the act parsed at the present sessio: to promote the reconstruction of that State, an whether any further legislation is necessar@ upon the subject of the organization of the Pro- visional Legislature in Georgia, the Committe; this morning made a report, which was pre- sented by Mr. Edmunds. ‘The report recites the manner of the organi- zation of the Provisional State Government in 1368; the fact of its approval by the Military Commander of the district; the subsequent ex pulsion of negro members of the Legislaturc and the consequent passage by Congress of th: act of Dec. 22, 1869, conferring upon the Gen- eral Assembly of the State the exclusive power toperfect its organization. There being no roon. for inference or construction conferring such authority either upon the Governor or } Commander under this act, the Go Georgia summoned the persons ele Legislature, as named in the progdmation oi Gen. Meade, to assemble at Atlantf on January 10, 1870, anda —— of the Segate todk thy —_ poveceibe |, and organized. providéd by the ac ‘The report details the circumstances attend- ing the organization of the House of Repre sentatives and the part taken “ by ono Harris, nota member or officer, but who had been des- ij to call the body together by the Gov- ernor,” and calls attention to the fact that Har- ris continued to preside, and to adjourn the bods from time to time at his own pleasure, without consulting the House. He also determined wha: rsons who had my fe as members should permitted from day to day to take the pre- fer! ‘oaths and take their seats. ‘This pro- ceeding was ratified by the in command at Atlanta, who, subsequent to the passage of the act of Dec. 22, 1869, had been appointed to the command of Georgia as a wilitary district under the act of M: 2, 1867. , A statement is then made of the action of General Terry in — ine excla- sion of certain persons trom the Legislature until their cases should be favorably reported upon by @ military commission he organized. ‘Three members elect were thus excluded, and the admission of other persons was delayed until they should be relieved from their po- litical disabilities. Upon this history the com- mittee is constrained to say that in its opinion the before mentioned nm of the itary authorities was not authorized by law. The Legislature elected in Georgia was intended by Congress to take the place of the Provisional Government as a permanent one. This seems rfectly clear, and the same view was taken fy the General of the Army in his order to General Meade of March 24, 1868. ‘The correc- tion of any misapprehension of the act of Con- gress could be made by Congress, bat not by the military. The committee argue further in support of this view, but add, “It is due to the Gonera! in command to say that circumstances jus. tify the committee in reporting that his whole conduct in the affair was under the sin- cere belief that he was acting within the scope of his lawful authority, and that un- der the circumstances of much difficulty and delicacy he conducted affairs, although outside of the law, in such a manner as to com- mand the personal Fespoct and confidence of all concerned. The committee also believe at the persons excluded who desired to qualify would have violated the act by taking the oath, so that there waa uo actnal justice ee mitting persons ‘who had’ been candidates a the persons so excluded but received only a minority ef the votes cast, is considered by the committee unwarranted by law, and the persons then admitted were not lawfully en- Utled to seats in the Georgia - The committee therefore report under the first reso- lution, that, in the ig Tespects, the or- ganization of said Legislature has not been war- wo: Tat Inthe control and direction of its pro- ceedings by Harris. ‘2d.
