Alcorn, Dorsey, Jones, of Nevada, Logan, Norwood and Sharon. Tue SENATE CHAMBER is still draped in mourning in respect to the memory of the late Vice President. GENEBAL BABCOCK left Washington yes- terday afternoon for Chicago, to appear be- fore the court of inquiry appointed to inves- Ugate the chargc3 against him. THE MEMORIAL of the Uni ted States Cen- tennial Commission and Ceatennial board board of finance, accompanici by a finan- cial statement, was laid on the desks of Sen- ators this morning. ‘THE RESIGNATION of Postmaster Burt, of Boston, Mass., is in the hands of the Presi- dent. General Burt will assume the man- agement of the Utica, Ithaca and Elmira Railroad, which is to be opened shortly. ORDERS were yesterday received at the Portsmouth (N. H.) navy yard to suspend work on the Ticonderoga, which was being got ready for sea,and thirty-five men were accordingly discharged. If 18 NOT PROBABLE that a vote on the Pinehback case will be reached om Monday next, as Gen. Logan and several other repub- ilean Senators are absent. The claimant yesterday made his first appearance in the cham ber this session. CHAPLAIN TOWNSEND, of the House of Representatives, yesterday appeared in gown and bands, aud kneeling on a foot- stool offered prayer from the Episcopal prayer book. This was noted as a new de- parture in the line of official prayer. PAYMASTER STEVENSON, lately in charge of the naval depot at Nagasaki, Japan, has arrived in Washington to explain the ru- mors circulated last summer as to a defaica- tion on his part, which ke asserts he caa do satisfactorily. THE SIGNAL SERVI There are now 102 signal stations connected with the signal service of the War department. Arrange- ments have been made, it is uuderstood, for obtaining telegraphic weather reporis from the West Indies. NAVAL ORDERS.—Lieut. B. H. Backing- ham, ordered to special orinance duty. Lieut. Commander E. T. Woodward has re- ported his arrival home, having been de- tached from the Brooklyn, South Atlantic squadron, on the 12th of October last, and has been placed on waiting orders.

It is understood that both he and Second Controller Brodhead will be, at their own request, summoned as witnesses before the commission now investigating tue Sugg Fort aud Witowsk&i claims. DEATH OF MR, T. M. REEsE.—Senator Sherman received a telegram yesterday an- nouncing the death, at his home, at Carding- ton, Ohio, yesteriay morning, of Mr. T. M Reese, clerk of the Senate Committee on Fi- mance. Mr. Reese had been tn ill health for come time past. ASTRONG PRESSURE is being brought to bear upon the Commissioner of Internal Revenue by members of Congres3 from va- rious sections, with a view to a reconsidera- tion of the recent consolidation of revenue districts, and he has accordingly set a day for the hearing of arguments as to retention or dismissal of collectors, as the case may be. A PETITION is being extensively circula- ted at the Capitol entitled “A Woman's Solemn Protest to the Members of the 4ith Congress.” It is in opposition to granting aid to the centennial exposition, because, as the signers allege, “the doors of the palace have been shut in the faces of American Women,” and also because the negro race has been ignored. GEORGE M. ADAMS, of Kentucky, the newly appointed Clerk of the House ef Rep- resentatives, has reappointed all the present incumbents in his office. The understand- ing is, however, that these are temporary appointments, and with probably one or two exceptions will only hold good until such time as changes cai be made without the embarrassment. likely to result from a wholesale removal of employees. WHEN THE READING of the message in the House was concluded yesterday a mo- tion was made to print it and the accom- panying documents, Mr. Randali, of Penn- sylvania, interposed &n objection to the Wholesale printing of public documents un- rst d upon by Acommittee. It is his line ef polley:ie is understood, to have everything investigated before the expendi- ture of a dollar will be permitted. WasteD THUNDER—When Fernando Wood was looming up rather formidably as a@candidate for the Speakership somebody was at the pains of getting up an anony- mous phiet of twenty-three pages, de- voted to the abuse of that gentleman. Mr. Wood's declination left this vindictive wor- eae Stock of printed abuse on his is. DENIAL OF “PENSION FRAUDS.”—Ma- thews, Poulson & Co., Francis Register, oan T. Schively, and Joseph E. Devitt & Co., “suspended attorneys,” Gee the luvestigal now being made by the Pen- sion office, positively deny in the PhilaJel- phia ines “that either they or their clients, as far as they are aware, have been guiity of any fraud whatever, or that the goverament has been wronged out of adollar.

Mans, Wright, William Foley and Edw. THE NOMINATIONS of Mr. E. S. Tobey, to be postmaster at Boston, and John Q. Smith, tobe Commissioner of Indian Affairs, will probably be sent to the Senate to-morrow. IN THE SENATE to-day Mr. West reintro- duced the old Texas Pacific railway subsidy bill. Itis the same as was reported to the House irom the Committee on Railroads last Session. THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AP- FAIRS.—Mr. John Q. Smith, ex-member of Congress from Ohio, has been appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He has forge pena for to his home in Oakland, Clinton cour Sg Ohio, and his arrival here is daily expecte: A DELEGATION consisting of Frederick Butterfield, Frederick Taylor, H. Herrman, B. a Brigg, A. Hiley, Wm. Thackrah, Jos. in. and Luke Howgate, manufacturers an importers of cows and calf-hatr goods, bad a long interview to-day with the Secre- tary of the Treasury and the chief of the cus- toms bureau. ARMY ORDEES.—Ist Lieutenant Sydney E Clark, regimental quartermaster, 21 infan- try, will relieve Ist Lieutenant George S. Hoyt, 1Sth infantry, of the charge of national cemeieries at Marietta and Andersonville, Georgia. Major K. V. Hart, 5th cavairy, will report for duty in conn x With the International Exhibition of is76, to Major S. Cc. Lyford, Ordnance Department, chairman of board on behalf of the U. 8. Executive Departments. THE STANDING CoMMITTEES.—The House adjourned yesterday till Friday, and on Fri- day. as soon as it meets, will adjourn till Monday to enable the Speaker toarrange the list of the regular committees. Tnere are so many new members in this Congress that it may take the Speaker even all of next week to learn the qualifications of 160 new men for the service represented by the various inter- ests of the committees. Nothing is anthor- itatively known of the composition of even the chairmanships of the committees, though it is intimated that there has been some wil! speculation in that particular. By common consent the chairmanship of the Committee on Appropriations has been assigned to Mr. Randall, but there is not the same unanim- ity regarding Mr. Wood as the head of Ways and Means. PERSONAL. — Ex-Gov. English, the new Senator from Connecticut, sworn in yester- day, is a fine-looking man about sixty years of age. He has a tullsuitof gray hair, blue eyes, wears short, gray side waisKers, acl at @ distance somewhat resembles Hon. Rey erdy Johnson. +*** Postmaster General Jewell eutertained at dinner, last eve ning, Murat Halstead, of the Cincinn Commercial, Henry Watterson, editor Louisville Cvurier-Journu, Sam Bowles, of the Springfield Republican, and Gen.

Lowry, contestant for the seat in the House from the 33d Congres- sional New York district, is at the Congres- sional Hotel. “BOUNCING 'EM.”—A day or two ago Mr. Stewart, the new Postmaster of the House of Representatives, visited the office and was Setirtog airece Vee by Mr. Sherwood, the retirin, cer. The latter informed the former ¢ of the details of the office, and stated that all the force under him expected to be turned out. “But,” said Mr. Sherwood, ‘I would adyise you to retain the present work- ing force a wéek or 80, until your new men re made thoroughly acquainted with de- Ste falls. ” Mr. Stewart entertainet the propo- sition fora minute; then turning on his heel he replied: “No, sir; no, sir. I'll bounce them all. 1’ nce them all immediate!

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.—The repub- lican Senatorial caucus committee, ap- pointed yesterday to revise the list of com- mittees of the Senate, made their report to the caucus held by the republican Senators to-day. The most important ehange made is the Committee on Patents. of which Ser- ator Ferry, of Conn., was formerly chair- man. Mr. Windom, whose name stood next on the list, declined the chairmanship, pre- ferring to remain chairman of the Commit- tee on Transportation Routes to the Sea- board, and Mr. Wadleigh, of N. H., who was formerly an active worker on tie Patent Committee, was made chairman of the lat- a The appointnaent is regarded as a ve. good one, since Mr. Wadleigh has had muc' experience in the business transacted by that committee. Mr. Ingalls was taken from the Committee on Education and Labor, and Mr. Sharon was substituted in his stead. Mr. Morrill, of Vt., was also put on to fill the vacancy’ occasioned by the death of Sen- ator Ferry. A committee of democratic Senators, Mr. Bayard, chairman, was in session this after- noon to fill the vacancies on committees, to which they are entitled. The revised list will be reported to the Senate to-morrow. TRE RAID OF THE BUMMERS ON THE RE- PORTERS’ GALLERY.— As usual, the Re- porters’ galleries at the Capitol are crowded — rsons representing themselves ag con- with the press, but who in reality bave no legitimate claim to a seat. The Bung Town ugle of Freedom, the Hart Scrabple Gazette, the Jonesville Meatac, aad the Smithville Weekly Clothes Wringer, are 1o- variably represent by able-bolied and cheeky department clerks, who manage to secure good seats (which ought to be given to correspondents and reporters who 'o legitimate work in the galleries) psinpty taat they may have access to the galleries whea- ever there is an unusually interesting occa sion in either house. It has been suggested that the Speaker of the House and the Co:n- miitee on Rules in the Senate who have heretofore made the award of seats, refer al! bona fide representatives of the press for their recommendations. The suggestion is an excellent one. Certainly some measures ought tobe taken to prevent the seats i working ere men from being usurpei by bummers, Von BULOw.—Despite the wretched Weather last night, Lincoin Hall was filled With an €xceptionally brilliant and critical audience, embracing a large representation of the diplomatic corps, leading society people and a great number of our amateur professional musicians.

Tae visitors were so numerous tat many were refused admittance, THE CouRT OF CLAIMS.—In his message to Congress, the President suggests a su‘ject bearing upon the problem of how to enadie the Secretary of the Treasury to accumulate balances” by asking Congress to devise some better method of verifying claims against the government than at present exists through the Court of Claims, especia!ly those claims growing out of the late war. He adds that nothing is more certain than thata very large percentage of the amounts and aid are either wholly fraudulent, or are tar in Xcess of the real losses sustained. It was intimated at the Capitol to-day by those qualified to speak on the subject that the matter of verifying claims by the Court of Claims would be D iitvestigated by a Congres- sional committee this session. BILL FOR THE RELIEF OF FREEDMEN’S BUREAU DEpostITors.—Senator Robertson to-day introduced his bill of last session to secure from loss depositors of the Freedmen’s Savings Bank. The bill provides that the government shall guarantee clepositors the balance remaining due them after exhaust- ing the assets of the company: that when the commissioners of said savings and trast ny shall make @ report to the Secreta- ry of the Treasury setting forth such balance, the ieengaage’ & shall turn over to the commis- sioners U. bonds equal in value to said balance, which bonds shall be sold and the Proceeds paid to depositors.
