Among the distinguished gentlemen who were in consultation with the President during the day were Senators Cameron, Ferry, Ogleby, and Logan, Speaker Blaine, and Gen The Secretary of State had a B. F. Butler. long conference with the President this after noon, OrroseD TO Reprerion oP THR ARwy.— The House Committee on Military Affairs to- day continued the hearing of Gen. Sherman, Gen. Townsend, and the Secretary of War with reference to the proposed reduction of the army. Ail these officers strenuously oppose any reduc- tion. Gen. Sherman is openly in favor of in- creasing the military establishment. Tue House Committee on Foreign Affairs held @ meeting this morning and distributed the work before it to various sub-committces. All memorials, petitions, bills and resolutions with reference to the recognition of Cuban bellige ency were referred tothe chairman, . Orth with instructions to report a bill on the subject, for their action. THE ContesteD SgaTs.—The House Com- mittee on Elections have postponed until Fri day next the further consideration of the West Virginia election contests. To-morrow morn ing the committee will proceed to examine into the Ist and ith district contests of the state of Arkansas. Tue UTam Jrptctary BILL.—The Hous Committee on Territories dismissed to-day the bill recently introduced concerning the execu- tion of the laws in the territory of Utah, which prescribes more fully the duties of United States Judges, marshals and the means of obtaining Jurors in the courts of that territory. ‘Phey de- eided to hold three sessions a week until the bill is disposed of.

The committee gener- ally oppose it, taking the ground that if the seats were thus inclosed it wou'd transfer the lobby to the floor of the House, without the semi-circle, and present an array of “hungry lobbyists on cushioned sofas.’ Tue New ReGENnts or THE SMITHSONIAN IxstiTUTION.—The House Committee on Edu- cation and Labor to-day agreed to report to the Houee as regentsof the Smithsonian Institution the names of Asa 6 of Massachusetts; J. ; Professor Coppee, of ft Ni Jersey, olambia. as provided for in General Garfield's resolution introduced on Monday, except that the name of Prof. Coppee is substi- tuted in place of A.

A letter was to-day sent by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to the Secretary of the Treasury, in which the Commissioner say: “I bave the honor to call your attention to the vacancy left in the position of First Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue by the death of General B. J. Sweet and to request that the civil service board of examiners for this department be directed to hold the usual examination at once for the purpose of filling that office with as little delay as possible.” GEN. BUTLER AND THE INTERNATIONAL.—A month ago the Federal Council of the Interna- tional Workingmen’s Association, ata meeting in New York city, ordered its secretary to trans. mit to the Hon. Benj. F. Butler @ memorial re- arding the measures which it desired Congress 6 take to help workingmen to acquire homes in the west. The memorial favored the who desired to on the public be furnished with transportation and sheuld be provided with lumber, , at the expense of the States government, the cost of the same to be mortgage on such farms, payable at inseven or fourteen a ihenes But- ler, in his reply, has agreed to give the matter attention. Tae CoNPIRMATION OF GEN. GEORGE Croox.- The confirmation of this officer, which Sectety. Certainly we are deriving little benefit from being the headquarters of the weather bureau, for no consideration seems to be shown in farn- ishing us with suitable weather accommoda- tions, when the Chief Signal officer cannot put know that rain, sleet, snow, &c., are anything elee rather than promotive of gayety during our brief gay season, Before New Year, when everybody was “saving up” for that d bad fine weather, and also afterwards, when every one was tired from the dissipation of the day, and could not £° out; buton that eventfu first of the year we had rain, and yesterday and the dav before such inclement weather that few, and they possessed of brave spirits, dared to venture out of doors. —In consequence of yesterday's rain the Tuesday's receptions were not largely attended —The masquerade party at Dr. Thompson's beautiful residence on Massachasetts ayvenu: last evening, was quite largely attended, in spite of the uncomfortable weather, was an exceedingly brilliant affair. Many of the dresses were very handsome, and must of th. characters assumed were well represented, a comical feature of the evening being a halt dozen young men in masks and costumes 0 nearly alike as to quite bewilder and confuse those who thought they were acute enough to occasionally discover one of their friends thus disguised. —The Cabinet receptions this afternoon wil! not be numerous. As heretofore published, Mrs. Robesou’s mourning will prevent her re- ceiving this season. Mrs, Williams is suftering from acute inflammation of the eyes, and 80 by order of her physician, is forced to keep very quiet for the present, and therefore cannot re- ceive to-day. It is at least doubtfulif Mrs. Belknap will receive, as she has been suffering from a violent cold, and on Monday had en- tirely lost her voice. —There is one noticeable effect of the panic which goes far to show the good taste of Wash- ington ladies. Very few new evening toilets are seen. The ladies seem to have thought that economy could be best practiced in ths matter of dress, andso wear their wardrobes of last year with a most becoming and exemplary com placency. NoMINATIONS.—The President sent to thr Senate to-day the nomination of Daniel Burton of Delaware, to be pension agent at Wilming ton, Del.; also, a number of promotions of 2 and Ist lieutenants in the army to next highe: grades. Tne Arrorwgy Gewerat has decided that under the act of March 34, 1573, the Secretary of the Treasury is required to direct that com- putations at custom-houses in the reduction 0! Invoices expressed in foreign values to the nioney of account of the United States shall be at the rates estimated by the director of th» mint and proclaimed by the S ‘Treasury. R RY IX THE INTERNAL Revenve Bo REAU OF! ®.—Some one broke into one of the rooms of the refunding division of the interna! revenue offi between the close of business yesterday ani 8 o'clock this morning, and broke open a tin box containing sundry dratts for the refunding of taxes, all of which were stolen. The proper officers have the case in hand, and there is no doubt but that the thief will be arrested. The aggregate amountof the refand ing checks stolen is about eleven thousand dol- lars. The thief is not likely to rea thing, as he cannot use any of the draf' out their being identitie drafts are in favor of part: retary of the with Most of the stolen Gen. BuTLer’s Srexcn To-pay.—The gal- leries of the House were again crowded to-day in anticipation of Gen. Butler’s speech on the civil rights bill. He obtained the floor shortly after twelve o'clock, and spoke until half-past one. His speech was principally a review ot the arguments against the bill, and a tribute to the vslor of the eclored troops during the war He cited instances under his own observation where they had charged the enemies’ e*rong. holds and routed them irom their works, par- ticularly instancing their taking under difficul ties a fort on the James River and compell ng the enemy to retreat and ‘‘keep on the run for four miles.” At the conclusion of the speceh he was heartily applauded by members on the tioor and the crowds in the galleries. The Lill. upon motion of Mr. Butler, was recommitted to the Judiciary Committee to be pertected, EDITOR STAR: The Washington correspond entot the Boston Journal ‘rises to explain,” and says that he has never been able to dis cover, from the report made to Congress, o: trom any other publication of the Washingtor National Monument Society, how mucu money has been contributed by the people of the Uni- ted States towards the erection of the monu ment. The accounts published show how much the treasurer of the society has received at dif- ferent times from general and special agents, but it does not, by stating what percentage was paid those agents, and what sums were never paid over, show how wuch money the people hare contributed; and it is the absence of this in- formation, probably, that has [es rise to a belief in the minds of many that large amounts of the voluntary donations of the people have never gone directly into the treasury of the monument association. A detailed statement of what bas been retained by general and local agents as ger sar pr sersny es and of what agents bave never settled their accounts, may remove this impression and restore public confidence in the management of the work in sections of the country where developments made concerning agents have arrested contributions. B.P. P. THe Binve tells us “the evening and the morning were the first day,” and ‘the evening and the morning were the second day,” and so on through the seven days, so I suppose that ix why evening papers,as the Daily Graphic has Teason to know, are so highly esteemed and so often furnish news to the morning jour nals. We have a newspaper in Washington— Tue StaR—which well sustains the reputation of evening dailies, and is a perfect godsend for the morning papers. This by way of preface 20 a joke on one of the latter. The members of the prees who attended the White House recep- tion on New Year’s day haying been treated with unnecessary discourtesy, Tig STAR, as an independent newspaper, very properly remon- strated in its next issue. Upon this a certain morning journal made a flat contradiction of the grounds of complaint, and returned the thanks of the og sagead for being given the free. dom of the White House and every facility for seeing all the ceremonies of the day. Now, if the said reporter was present he was invisible to the few others of bis craft who attended, but the joke comes in on the fact that, instead of availing himseif of the superior facilities given him to write an original account, he copied for his journal of January 24, (without credit, of course,) THe STAR report of January Ist. Wash. Cor. New Fork Graphic. +see- RECOMMENDATIONS OP Gov. Dix.—Governor Dix, of New York, in his message says the con- dition of the state is, under most of its aspects, exceedingly gratifying. Legislation is recom- mended for the regulation of trust, loan and in- demnity, guarantee and safe d it companies, that i ap so ted may be pi from loss through fy nt and fraud. It is also recommended that a general law be passed de- fining the powers of savings banks and repeal- ing all special Drivileges. = _ DS 7 police made a raid on the bar ai room of the Parker House, in Boston an Mon- day, and seized £300 to #400 worth of liquors. The hotel wine room, in which some 000 of liquors are stored, was not ‘bed. The saloons ot Thomas Inglis and of Foster, on Tremont street, were also visited. Altogether about $1,000 worth of liquors were taken the three establishments. goo = reports that--"'A rejec' nailed u doors of the church in which ‘she’ was to be married to ‘the other fellow.’” No wonder he was | He was a fool, or he would have known that in spite of all nailed-up doors, if that gir] meant grees she would have got into that church through the wintows or down the steeple, and taken “the other fellow” with London Fun. from ens ACTIVITY AMONG THE GRANGERS.—The New dirsey wits panne se the Patrons of Husban- dry met in len yesterday, 35 subordinate Edward How- Our Street Nomen mre, Editor Star: 1 see that a writer in this morn ing’s Chronicle revives the idea ot naming the lettered streets of Washington after the prin cipal cities and towns of the country—preserv- ing the advantages of the present alphabetica! arrangement in the selection of names for each This plan is a decided improvement on the present system, (which really does not give them any name at all, and which, from the similarit; in sound of many of the letters, often leads & great confusion,) but it 1s not nearly as good a the plan proposed some time ago. viz: to nam those lettered streets north of the Capitol afte: citizens of therepublic who have distinguishe: themselves in civtl life, and those south afte military and naval characters, thas: NORTH. souTa.

I give this list of names as they suggest them selves to me in this burried writing, conscious that 1t may be improved upon, although I think it will be conceded that most if not all of them are worthy to be thus honored. I think thix plan better than the one referred to above, for the reason that it directly and appropriately associates the names and hi of men of whom the nation ought ghd somes with the capital of the country, and for the further reason, also, that the — location of every street is at once indicated when its name is ken: civilians north, and military and naval charac- ters south of the capitol building,—an ad. vantage that will be lost to strangers if the names of cities and towns merely are given to the streets. Besides, I think the names of mer far more appropriate for streets than those ot towns, which, as a rule, have no special signiti- cance or character. I trust the powers that b willat any rate give the matter attention this winter, and move @ step farther forward in th« improvement of the city by giving its street= suitable names, drawn from some proper source but not losing sight of the alphabetical arrange ment. OBSERVER. M *RE OUTRAGES BY MEXICA State of Affairs on the Border.—T! tinel says: On the night oi the ultimo a large party of armed Mexicans crosse over trom Presidio del Monte to destroy the ranche of John D. Burgess. They were pro vided with turpentine and other articles to burr the place, and intended to kill the proprietor and his family. Burgess had left for Fort Davis and they were persuaded by some other Mexi cans living om the place to go away without other hostile demonstrations. When the new» reached Fort Davis Colonel Bliss sent a detach ment of cavalry over. While the cavalry wer: there a party Of thieves crossed the river ans stole every heed of cattle from the ranches ot Smith and Tinkam, living about 25 miles tron the river. They returned on the 4th instaut and attacked the train of Mr. Sandelben, which was on the return trip from Chihuahua to San Antonio, having a large amountof specie on board. After a brief ekirmish they were driver of, but itis reported that they are still follow ing him. Aftairson the border are daily grow ing more unsettled. Tareves CoLonepD Mempers THE VIRGINIA Le GISLATURE ON Civit Kigura.—Atter ‘he ad journment of the Virginia General Assem)ly lastevening the colored members of the tw. houses held aconference and adopted a coun protest against the action of the majority in op position to the civil rights biil pending in Gon- gress. They declare that the resolutions adoptec by the two houses were inconsiderately rushed throngh, allowing them no time to remonstrate or debate the question at issue. They further protest that this action does not represent th: sentiment of the masses of the = le of Vir ginia; thatit ls at variance with the oft-re peated declarations of the Conservative party and especially of those used in the last cam paign, and that it is in violation of the oat! taken by every member of the General Assem- bly and'every officer of the State government accepting the civil and political equality of all men before the law. A Letrer Tuter.—Peter Habel, a young of twenty-two, formerly employed in the ago post-ottice, where his father was a let- ter carrier, was arrested in New York during the early ‘hours of Tuesday morning with a large number of letters in his possession, which he had stolen from amp-post boxes. When ex- amined by Benjamin K.
