Tue District IxpERTEDNESS.—The Gov ernor and board of public workshave had under consideration and perfected a plan, which will be developed in a few days, by which ai! claims against the District government will be adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned. Gex.J.B.Gonpox, the new Senator from Georgia, was called to the chair this morning by Vice President Wilson, and presided over the Senate a short time while the Vice Presi- dent went out.

It ts not probable that the cos will continue over to-morrow, at any rate.

This has caused to- day a large number of calls at the residence of the iatter under the supposition that he had died. ‘The deceased, Mr. J.C. Kennedy, was late of Albany, New York. Mr. J. C.G. Ken. nedy isan old resident of Washington, and was formerly Superintendent of the Cencus. CoyxGRessiexaL Work.—Althongh the last session of Congress was a short one, there was an immense amount of work done. In the Senate there were 291 written repor from committees on various bills, making a total ot 623 during the Congress; a larger wim- ber than in any session for many years before. Some of these reports—those of the investigat- ing committees especially—were very long. At the S9th Congress, in the Senate, there but 17 reports; at the 40th, 273; and at the dist, 3x0. ‘Tue Postar Cag TROUBLE.—A special agent of the Post Office Department left this morning for New York, for the purpose of adjusting the difficulties between the Postmaster General und the railroad companies in relation to the with- drawal of the postal cars. A number of prom- inent lawyers have expressed the opinion that if the companies do carry ont their threat the Postmaster General, under the law, will be jus- tified in proceeding by force to compel them to run such cars.

MMITTEE REPORT ADVERSELY TOA SEN- ATORIAL INVESTIGATION. The committee on privileges and elections, to whom was referred the memorial of thirty- seven members of the Missouri legislature in regard to the elestion of Louis V. Begy to the Senate of the United States from that state, have had the same under consideration. The memorial sets forth that the recent examina- tion by a eommittee appointed by th representatives of the legislature of Missouri touching the corrupt use of money in the elec- tion of Ar. Bogy was imperfect; that it was not fall and fair, and that, in the by torres of the memorialists, if the investigation had been conducted with more vigor,and with a purpose of revealing the real facts of the ease, other a more important evidence would have been p duced showing that there was corruption in Mr. Bogy’s election. The memorial, however. does not state that additional facts ean be proved, nor indicate with any certainty the character of the new evidence that may produced. The committce understand that the only duty which they have upon this referen. is to report to the Senate whether the 1 - rial presents such facts as would justify the Senate in instituting an examination in regard to the election of Mr. Bogy, and are of the opinion that it does not. Snch a proceeding is of a grave character, and should not be set on foot without such a statement of the evidence that could probably as would appear to make it the duty of the Senate to proceed to an in- vestigation. The evidence taken by the committee of the legislature of Missouri also accompanies the memorial, and has been examined by the com- mittee. It is not the province of the committee upon this reference to inquire whether judg: ment pronounced by the House of Representa- tives of the Missouri Legislatare upon this evi- dence was correct; but express the opinion that the evidence is not of a character to re- quire of the Senate an investigation. Thecom- mittee therefore ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the memorial and the evidence touching the election of Louis Y. Bogy to the Senate of the United States. Senator Conk1ixe, who went to New York on Saturday, has returned, and was in his seat in the Senate chamber to-day. NAVAL Orpers.—Lientenant Commander J.B.

Such are the great battles, the great revolutions, the great discoveries of bis tery. Each art, each science, bas its “turning points”—its moments.
