EviIvENcE IN THS CoURTS OF THE DisTRIcT. —In the House to-day, Mr. Potter, of New York, introduced a bill in relation to evidence in the courts of the District of Columbia. provides that all wills, testaments and codicil- concerning lands, tenements or hereditaments in the District of Columbia which have horeto- fore been, or may hereafter be, duly admitted to probate im said District, may be read in evi- dence in any suit therein concerning such lands tenements, or hereditaments from the record of EVENING STAR. _ Washington News and Gossip. INTERNAL Revenve.—The receipts from this source to-day were $102,805.96, Gex. Horact Porter leaves for New York quarters will be in New York. Jvpez Mumnmon was yesterday elected U- S. Senator from North Carolina, receiving 7 votes agame: 40 for Vance. Merrimon received all the reptblican votes. THE ESTIMATES of appropriations to carry on the fiscal year ending dune 30, 1874, amount to $908,923.256 7. ‘The appropriations in the pre- pared bills amount to $20,414 425.56. Tes Presipent, Secretary Belknap and Postmaster Genersi Creswell will arrive on the eatly train to-morrow morning from New Yerk,'where they went last evening to attend such probate, and without further proof of exe- tion, provided that auch record shall be only prima facie evidence of the execution of said wills, testaments and codicils. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. cs a Senators Fenton and Sumner on the Death of Mr. Greeley. If Mr. Cameron, who moved that the Senate adjourn yesterday, had withdrawn that motion im accordance with the request of Mr_ Fenton, the latter Senator would have said; ~‘I desire to leave for New York at one o'clock, and there- Mr. Greeley’: funeral to-day. In THE APfENCH of Vice President Colfax, the Senate to day unanimausly made Senator Anthony President pro tem; a compliment de- servedly tendered the same Senator on several previous occasions.

In further public recegnition of an event so im- pressive, of a grief so universal and profound, [ move that when the Senate adjourn to-day, it ad n to meet on Thursday next. I may remark that several Senators desire to attend the funeral, and it is semi-officially announced that the President and Vice President of the United States will leave for New York to-day for the same purpose. Mr. Sumner weuld have said: ‘Mr. President, I have been requested to second this motion. One word, if you please. A funeral will take place to-morrow on which the eyes of the nation will rest, while innumerable hearts throb with ief and the people everywhere learn the insta- Ginity of tite and the commandment of charity.

They will probably be ready to re- port to-morrow. The Senate aujourned to-day without transacting any business, on account of the committees not yet being designated. Sovarp by defeat at home, Mr. Representa tive Roosevelt seems disposed to vent his spite against the District of Columbia during his briet stay in Congress, An original capital- mover, it is not strange tbat he should note with dissatisfaction the evidences ot Bp shoe and improvement here, which have destroyed the bope of reviving that project. TRANerER OF NavaL OFPricers.—Lieut. Geo. E. Ide ordered to the receiving ship Ver- mont; Commander D. L. Braine detached as a member of the board of inspection and placed on waiting orders; Licut. B. .Gamberton from the Caliiornia and ordered to proceed home and wait orders; Lieut. Commander Yates Stirling detached from the receiving ship Independence and ordered to the California, TuHoven the Senate caucus has not yet taken detinite action, it seems to be the opinion that it will be decided to put the republican Senators who cid not vote for Grant upon the same foot- ing as democratic Senators. That is, the demo- cratic and liberal republican Senators will be allowed to settle amoug themselves who sha!l be designated to the minority representation ou the committees. ILLwess OF Mu. Summex.—Senator Sumner was seived with a rather sharp attack of his complaint (heart disease) while on his way from Prot. Tyndali’s lecture to the street cars, and suffered a good deal last night. His friends have warmly urged his cessation from all his Senatorial labors, but he wasin his seat to-day at the opening of the session, evidently deter- mined **to die in harness.” DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.—Gov. Cooke and the members of the Board of Pabhie Works will be heard by th House committee on appropriations to-morrow, in reference to being reimbursed for expendi- tures made in improving streets adjacent to government jb ao The District committee of the House will also be present, to become ac- — with the nature and extent of the mprovements made. Mz. O. L. Paupas, for many years a clerk in the Judge Advocate General's office, has been detailed for duty at the Executive Mansion. The statement that Mr. Levi P. Luckey has been promoted as assistant to Gen. Babcock is a mistake. Mr. Luckey is assistant secretary to the President, and will cont occupy that position, simply changing his rea- ent quarters to the room adjoining the Pros dent’s office, occupied by Gen. Babcock. THE EEroRT of the southern claims commis- sion covers some 2,200 cases, of which about 500 are from Virginia. The amount claimed in the 2,200 cases is about $4,500,000,0f which some $00,000 is allowed, and the rest-about $5,6(0,000—is rejected.’ They have about ftteen thousand claims yet to decide and report, in which the disproportion between the amounts claimed and allowed is expected to be as great and probably gr Waat Postmasters May Not Do.—At- torney General Williams has decided, inanswer to a communication from the Postmaster Gene- ral, that post office officials have no right to open or detain letters or other matters trans- mitted through the post office, though they may know that they contain obscene matter. The Attorney General adds that postmasters have no more authority to open letters(other than those addreased to themselves) than any other citizen of the United States. DgaTH or Mz. J. KR. Baigos.—We regret to announce the death last evening in this city of Jobn Reading Briggs, stationery clerk of the MAas3acnvsettTs nal street Mr. Wilson got A gentleman whosat next to Senator into an omnibus. the door assisted him in getting in. Wilson did not know at first who it was, when he suddenly heard a voice—“Hallo, Wilson!” It was the gentleman who had helped him in. Senator Wilson looked at him, and, beaming in armile, said: “Hallo, Sumner!” The two friends shook hands cordially. ‘Well, I declare, this is a surprise,” said the next vice president. “Well, old boy, how are you?” loquent champion of Horace Greeley acked. “I'm very well, old boy; how are you?” Senator Wilson re- turned, still shaking his friend’shand. S8ena- tor Sumner said he was pretty well; indeed he was very well. His health had greatly im- roved. ‘Yes, you look @ great deal better,” enator Wilson said, delighted; “tne trip io Europe has done you good. You look a great deal better. And now tell me all about Europe.” Senater Sumner told him everything—every- thing he told the Herald reporter the day be- fore. At the city hall the two friends got out and went to the Tribune office, where they had another good long talk. Both were delighted to see each other, and not a word referring to pol itics or the presidential election was spoken.. New York He ANOTHER UNPUBLISHED LETTSR FROM MR Gueriry.—In a letter to the Hon. Masou W. Tappan, dated November 8, one of the very last that Mr. Greeley wrote, he expresses great gratitude to Mr. Tappan for going into the recent contest in his bebalf with such zeal; and says in his gravely jocniar manner: “I have been eo bitterly assailed that [ hardly know whether I was running for the Presidency or for the penitentiary.” Mr. Greeley thus speaks of the death of his wife: “In the darkest hour my long-suttering wife left; not too soon, as she hail suffered too leeply and long. I laid her in the ve with hard, dry eyes. Well, I am used up. have slept little for weeks, and my eyes are hard to close, while they soon open again.” THE STORM Which swept over the Lakes last Week exceeded in fury any that has been expe- ld. rienced by old ixcustrinesailors at this season of the year. The eartern shores are literally strewn with the wrecks of barques, schooners and other smaller crati, and the Chicago pa- pets are filled with descriptions of the pic- pst nad and Arctic appearance of vessels that outrode the tem: and anchored safely in the harbor. Some of them more resembled {cebergs than ships, their masts and rigging clad in armor of ice, and their decks loaded to the depth of three teet with congealed snow and sleet and rain. —<—_______ PP pice Hees ON THE PRESIDENT’S 888A G¥.—The London papers of yesterday all publ'sh the President's m: » and generally speak in complimentary terms of it. The Times says ‘the bina of President Grant is a sen- sible, unpretending, lucid and business-like document, which cannot well be abridged. It oe no specia: remarks or adverse criti- cism. There is an entire freedom from all eS orsectional bitterness of partisan spirit. ‘ne tone is catholic and kindly, and its recom- mendations are broadly nation: id patriotic.’ JOSEPHINE MansrigLD ImPovRRIsHED.—It is stated that a (oes recently arrived from Paris says that the notorious Josephine Mansfield appeared in that city some weeks ago. She had about $37,000 in money. ‘=: deposited in the banking house of Bowles Bros When the failure of that house was announced she wrung her hands in grief, and declared that she was ruined. It is not probable that she will recover a cent of her money. ANTI-BEFORM PLatrorM in New York. The New York Evening Post pretends to hi discovered a conspiracy between certain repu licans and the late mcmbers ot the New York ting, by which all reform legislation is to be de feated. The plan contemplates the resignation of the officers appointed by the Mayor, to the end that Mayor Hall may fill their republicans of easy virtue betore meyer is inducted into office.
