The committee expect to finish its consideration to-morrow. THE COMPARATIVELY VERY LIGHT RECEIPTS from internal revenue sources to-day is ac- counted for by the fact of the non-receipt of mails trom the north at the usual hour, some- thing having occasioned several hours delay. THE Tue Baxxavrt Bitt.—The House Judiciary Committee this morning resolved to report back the bankrupt bill to the House and recommend non- concurrence in the Senate amend ments and ask for a committee of conference. In Tne Senate this morning Mr. Boutwell, chairman of the joint select commission to in- vestigate the affairs of the District, asked to bs excused from serving on that committee on ac- count of ill health. He was excused by the President of the Senate pro tem. Tue Caninet held a very short session to-day. All the members were present excepting Secre- tary Fish and Secretary Robeson. The former is suffering from a severe cold, and Mr. Robeson is still absent from the city.

Pay roll being only $15,000, there ongt NomINations.—The President sent the fol- lowing nominatiors to the Senate to-day: Wm. | H. Hase, collector of customs, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Thomas E, Burns, coi'ector | internal revenue, 4th district Kentucky; Cas- Foster, United States district judge for - Vance, receiver public’ moness Kansas; Geo. B. White, post to have been funds iegerg. to pay the teachers up to March ist of the current year. He submitted documentary evitence from the “accompanying papers” to show that the old corporation’ was charged with $215,000 which sheuld not have been charged to the school fand on account of buildings, having been otherwise charged, the sinking fund commis- sioner having paitthat amount, Such settie- ment was made on the $dof March, 1 He also | called attention to the United States statutes at large, showing that it was unlawful for any disbursing officer in the District of Columbia ta divest from its legitimate object any money levied and collected and raised by taxes, and the transfer of one fund to another. He offered to prove by Syphax, a colored school trustee, that up to the time of the closing of the old cor- poration the colored school teachers had all peen paid in full, and were not in arrears, as had been alleged. Mr. Thurman:—As I understand it the new government came into possession in June, 1871, ‘and at that time four: months’ salary was due to teachers by the old corporation, and the teachers were paid up to May Ist, and the pay day for that month was the identical day on which the new government came into power. Af they were paid up to May Ist there was really no default by the old government, but a month's P due, and payable on Jane ist. Thurman asked for a brief statement of what bad been done in the settlement of the debts between THE OLD AND NEW CORPORATIONS. Mr. Stanton:—In the first place power was given tothe legislature by the organie act to Settle such debts, and an act of the legislature created the sinking fund commissioners, and charged them with certain duties in connection with the settlement of old debts. He then quoted the various acts bearing on the subject and that creating the auditing commission. By an intormal examination ot Gov. Shep- herd it was developed that the Jetferson, Sum- ner and Seaton school buildings were contracted for by the old corporation, and that the amount paid on that account after the new government went into operation was treated as a debt of the old corporation, tor which the new government was reimbursed. By Mr. Wilton (to Controller Baker):—Is there not really a surplus in the hands of the government on account of schools? A; There wouldn’t be if our debts were paid. Q. Have you and Mr. Kichards ever had any controvel about the school fund? A. We have have had considerable controversies, but I don’t remember that we have had any on this particular subject. @. Under the act of May 8, 1872, providing for funding certain liabilities, there was author- ity to issue one million dollarain bonds. 1 wish to inquire where the #86,000 trust tand beuds therein vided for are. A. It appears in the report of the sinking fand. I don’t know who-e hands they are in. SYPHAX AS A WITNESS. Wm. O. Syphax, sworn and examined by Mr. Wilson :—Was connected with the manage- menor colored schools as trustee from 1833 to isvl; was treasurer the last year of my term when the new District government came in; when I went out of office, July Ist, 1871, all the be postmaster at n Francisco California. Gey. Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, is now absent from the city. When he returns he Will probably appear before the Committee on Invalid Pensions, and present a statement of certain facts relative to the charges against him | which have been referred to that committ=:. | These charges are the same that were made by fome newspapers last fall. Gen. Baker's friends claim they are utterly unfounded. Tne source from which they come does not obtain for the charges very great consideration.— Wa.h. Cor. N.Y. Times: Tue HowaRp Court or InqutRY assembled at noon to-day, all the members being present excepting Col. Getty, who will be here this eve- ning. Gen. Howard was attended by hia cour- sel, Alex. P. Ketcham, esq.,of New . The court organized, and the session was devoted to hesring the correspondence of the War de- partment relating to the alleged irregularities read. All the members of the court appear in full uniform. Major Gardner, judge advocate of the court, occupies one end of the table: while Gen. Sherman, the presiding officer, is at the other. e THE VETERAN CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Journal, ‘*Perley,” says that the license and falsehood which characterize the productions of the correspondents of the so-called ‘inde- ndent’’ press, this winter, have aroused a feeling of indignation in the hearts of ali hon- est men im Washington, irrespective of party. We are — to hear it, and hope it is true; al- though it would be a good deal more satisfac- tory lf the democratic and “reform” member« of Congress were to furnish some evidence of their “indi, tion” at the foulness and falsity of these political friends of irs. It is said that in Turkey if a man is caught lying to the detriment of personal character or the public interests, his right ear is officially lopped off, while a repetition of the otfence entails the sommary subtraction of the left auricle. The infliction of a similar penalty on our own coin- ers and fulminators of malignant mendacities might possibly exert a restraining moral intlu- ence upon them—and we therefore commend matter to the consideration of Congrese.— tsturg Commercial. ~ veee- Prustpext oF a SUSPENDED Bank ARRest- ®p.—Jobn E.

He was successful in obtaining employment, and, hi ing no trade, became despondent. He became enamored of a colored girl who had frequented the saloon where he had been employed. She assisted him while he was out of employment, and with her acquaintances endeavored to ob- tain a situation for him. At length, unable to find work for him, she grew cool in her de- meanor, aud then abandoned him altogether. Last Sunday night he called at her residence at 4 York street, and was repulsed.

After a graceful allusion to the character and public serviccs of Mr. Fillmore, he submitted a Motion to provide for the appointment of a com. mittee of three Senators to attend the faneral Mr. Fenton seconded the motion, which he said his colleague had anticipated him ta making. Mr. Flamin said he was one of the few who were in the Senate when “Mr. Fillmore was it« presiding officer, and he had never seen the duties of the chair performed with more arban ity and impartiality and wittrmore regard and © minority. The motion was then adopted, Mr. Conkling suggesting that Mr. Fenton be appointed on the committee, as he(Mr. C.) could not now leave THAT $10,000 FOR THE DISTRICT INVESTIGA- TION. = Mr. Morrill, (Maine) from Committee on Ap- propriations, reported Dill i appropria- tion of $10,000 to pay expenses of J)istrict of Columbia mvestigation. Mr. Conkling would be glad if Mr. Morrill Would state what was to be done with this money. He said the Committee on Transport: tion, ‘siting many months, travelling many Mr. .Fort (Iil.), from same committee, re- thousand miles, conducting ‘an investigation in | PoFted a bill to prevent the uselens daughter of several different states, had expended only a | >uffaloes within the territories. P: Mr. O’Brien (Md.) presented the memorial of Wiliam B. Hudson, of company F, 84 regi- ment of artillery in the Florida war for @ pen- sion. little over $6,000 in addition to the earnings of the stenographer. Now it was proposed to ap ropriate all this money for a committee sitting ere in Washington, and the scope of whose investigation was confined entirely to this locality. He was willing, as he had before said, to vote ali that wasnece sary to make this in: vestigation thorough, but he would like the Senator to indieate what was to be done with this money. It looked too wuch like a notice to people that bere was a certain amount of money to be spent, if there was only a method devised how to spend it. Mr. Morrill said he had no particular infurm- ation in regard to this matter, but there were always heavy expenses in these investigation, Stenographers and clerks and witnesses. He expressed the wish that something could be done to effect a change in the manner of con- ducting investigations, as they involved a heavy burden on the government. The cost of the investigations ordered by the last Congress amounted to £157,125. The cost of the Caldweli case at the last session was $15,201.79. Mr, Authony said many of the witnesses in the Caldwell case were summoned from the re- mote parts of Kansas. : ‘Mr. Windom said the expenses of the Com- mittee on Transportation, including the ste nographer, were only a little over $9,000. Mr. Hawlin said bis experience taught bim that if $10,000 was appropriated it would cer tainly be spent, and also that if $5,000 was aj- propriated it would be spent, and that the work would be as well done for the smaller as the largersum. He moved to reduce the amount to $5,000. Mr. Pratt asked Mr. Morrill what were the expenses of the kuklux investigation. Mr. Morrill said $50,495. Mr. Pratt said that committee had conducted a lengthy examination here and had then divid €d into ‘sub-committees, which had traversed nearly the whole south. The sub-committee he was on had traveled through several states and had sat day and night, and taken a great dea! of testimony, And its expenses were not over $5,000. Theretore be thought this amount should be sufficient for the present purpose. Mr. Sherman would vote all the money that Was Mecergary for this Investigation, but he should now vote only for £5,000, hecause if more was necessary the committee had only to come and ak for it. He thought there should be a reform in the method of reporting these inves- tigations. As it was pow the foes of the stenog raphers were excessive. He advocated that the Senate should appoint an official stenographer at @ salary of, eay $5,(00 per annum, whose daty it should be to report all these investigations. Mr. Sargent said the Committee on Appro- priations had thought the sum of $10,000 was One practice in connection wit! these investigations he thought should b stopped even if legislation was necessary. This was the practice of the stenographer to charge his £0 cents a folio (190 words) for all matter, even where, us was frequently the case, large quantities of matter were furnished and the stenographer did not have to handle it at ail. I this investigation now in progress there wou! probably be a thousand pages of printed matter furnished, and for all of which the stenograph er would, according to custom, demand pa: Mr. Conkling asked Mr. Sargent it he knew A BRIEF BXPLANATION. At the conclusion of the morning hour Mr. Heretord (W. Va.) asked leave to make a brief explanation in relation to an implication in the preamble of the resolution iu! juced earlier in the day by Mr. Davis, of Virginia, that the state of West Virginia had r toassame her just proportion of the debt of old Virginia at the time of separation. He protested that the peo- ple of West hag oo were ready and willing to assume every for which they were equitably bound. r. Harris (Va.) contended that West Vir- gina bad always refused to consent to a fair and equitable basis of adjustment, and that ir the basis proposed by her was adopted the old state would be in debt to the new. AL APPROPRIATION BILL. . Gar (Obio) moved that the Ho: into Committee of the Whole on the agen, executive and judicial appropriation b Mr. McCrary (lowa) raised a question for con: sideration, urging tbat the other special order— the transportation bill—be taken up. tion bill, and went into committee of the whole for that purpose. Mr. Beck (Ky.) continued his remarks which were interrupted by adjournment when the bill was last up. = -s0e- Exciting kncitente of the Ram Cam <n. STOUT RESISTANCE OF DAYTON (OHTO) Loonists. The second day of the women’s assault on king sic’’.ol in Dayton, Ohio, yesterday was more exciting than the first. Four detachments marched to the same saloons visited on the first day. They were excluded from most of the places and received at the doors by the saloon- ets with cold courtesy. The saloon-keepers were especially uneasy under the decision o Judge Smith, which declares that violators of the law cannot come into court tor redress. The Women prayed and sang, surrounded by a large crowd, all day long. At Hadlick’s beer saloon in the afternoon over one thousand curious men and noisy boys encompassed them. When the women ceased praying and began singing they were cheered and jeered, and multitades pushed into the bar-room for beer. A mock prayer meeting was going on in a saloon nearly opposite, which was continued when the women went over to that place. Drivers of beer wagons pushed the female detachment, shouldering kegs of beer, which was drunk as fast as it could be delivered. Notone of the saloontst= visited exhibited signs of surrender. A REPUBLIC NOT A THROCRACY. ‘The following resolution was passed yes‘er day by the grocers of Columbus, Ohio: That we would most respectfully call the attention ot the pablic, and most especially those who have called this meeting, to the fact that this is a re- pablic and not a theocracy, and if they do not know that ours is a republican government we wish them to study the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Constitution of the United States.

Comparisons had been made of the cost of improvements here with the cost in other cities, and it had been said that the cost here was 25 per cent. more than in Chicago, and much larger than in many other cities. It had been sent from here that there was another Bors Tweed ring in this city. If there was truth in these charges it should be known; if there was no truth, the cheek of the slanderers should be made to crimson. Mr. Stewart said one of the greatest problems of the age was the economical government ot saloon. i is said, looks upon the cities. ‘Tbe public improvements in all cities | Women asa part of bis stock company.

In his opinion, the proper way to govern this District would be through Congress directing all the lation, and having no other legislative body. Then the maximum of benefit and the minimum of ex- penditure would be attained. Mr. Anthony said this proposition to cut down the appropriation for the committee would bi heralded all over the country as an effort to stitle the investigation.
