Tae com- mlltee indicate a determination to puraue this same policy with regard to the other appropriation bilis which are soon to follow. DETECTIVE WHITLEY appeared before the grand juiy of this District yesterday and made complaint that an article in yester- day’s Jt; ublican reflecting upon him was a gross libel aud untrue in every particular, iberefore being a sufficient cause for com- pi tiptand isdictmept.

He was asked if certain parties in some of the departments had not had binding cone for their own personal use. Mr. Clapp testified that he had no knowledge of any such work being done. All the binding doue for any of the departments was done 01 requisition and noother way.

WALLINGFORD’S LITTLE CLAIM.— Some curious claims come before Congress. A short time since the Committee on Clatms of the Senate Soo mart acbataryt Boa theclaim ot Mrs. Annie Wallingford, of Georgia, pray- ing compensation for property appropriated by the Union army, in the county of Murray, in that state, during the war. Her first peti- tion, introduced Decembr 13, 1875, gave a Lis of the property which she claimed ws taken, consisting of househe'd faraiture and live sock, aggregating 2./0,445 in value. Subse- quently she presented »noiher petition in the Howse, accompanied by a list of property aggregating in value $810,495. it does not appear for what reason the second petition was presented, nor is the sudden and myste- rious growth of the claim explained. To prove her loyalty she submits affidavits srom Lieut. Moritz Von Entress Fuersteneck, of the stn New York votunteers, and trom another Union officer, Lieut. Busing, and several other persons of whose lowalty there is no evidence. To support he. sitatemeat that ber property was taken, affidavits from SLX OF Seven persous are submitted. Thecom- initlee take the view that there is no evi- dence of the claimant's ownership of the property except her own statement; that the evidence as to the amount of property taken is vague and indefinite; and, fioaliy, that the Proof of the claimant’s loyalty is insuffi- cient. Mrs. Wallingford is again in Wash- ton. with additional evidence as to the va- lidity of herclaim. It is @ singular coinci- derce that@ person of the same name, and bailing from the same state, should nave been gazetied in the west a few months ago 3 con: ected with certain unsavory scandais in which @ young lieutenant in the army formerly a resident of this city) was con- cerned, as well as a large number of others. see The War Department Investigation.

Tue HABITATIONS Of MAN IN ALL AGES. By Eugene Viollet-Le Duc. Translated by Benjamin Buckoall, architect. Boston: James R, Osgood & Co. [Through Solo- mons & Chapman.) This latest work of M.

The de- scriptive matter is much enhanced in inter- est by personating two imaginary witnesses of this development—*Epsrgos” and ‘Dox- ins”—representing res vely the spirit of progress and that of obstinate adherence to traditional forms and havits.

Ewe ANOTHER RAILROAD WAR THREATENED. Tae New York Times of yesterday say; an- otber general railroad war is threatened. The pool arrangement between the Michigan Central, Pittsburg and Fort Wayne, and Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Is ex- pected to break it is not already breken, owing to disagreements. Taig will break up «.e pools on East bound freight in Chicago apd among the trunk lines, and each wiil protect Ubeir own interests as they deem best. The same paper says advices have been re- c-ived In New York to the effect that tiexets New York from Cnicago over the Michi- an Central and Erie railroads were being sold at less than the regular rates, the redac- tion made including the commission al- lowcd to the agents, amounting to £2 on each ticket. These reductions will be met by the managers of the New York Central and Hud- son River rcad, and thos? of the other trunk lines will no doubt follow their exymple. Dr. J.J. WoopwARo, of the army meti- cal museum, was one of the surgeons who conducted the autopsy on the body of Mr. Lincoln, and also made the post mortem ex- amination when the body of the assassin J. Booth was brought here. He was Iiv- ing in the boarding- house where I then was, and told me that the wouads rece: ved by the two men were very nearly on the same spot jn the head of each: that there was the ulf ference ovly of @ fraction of an inch in the relat points upon the skull of each where the balls entered. That trifling variation made a world of difference in the last mo- ments of the two. Dr. Woodward said that Booth must have suffered as much as if he had been broken upon the wheel, while Mr. Liocoln was never conscious of pain after the ball entered his skull, but was to all in- tents and een a dead man from thas moment.—(“‘Miss Grundy” in Graphic. THE SPLIT IN COMGREGATIONALISM.— AS soon as the question of raising fands for the Congregational union and the Home Missionary society is presented to several of the Con; ‘tional churches in Brooklyn and New York, it issaid that there will be a move made against giving money to these societies, and out of this will grow a dis- avowal of the Congregationalism that the societies propose to extend. Dr. Storr’s church, which has hitherto given over $3,009 & year, will cease its contributions. Dr. Bad- ington’s church js likely soon to take action, and it is thought that Dr. Taylor's will. A proposal has already been made to the se- ceding ministers of the Congregational asso- ciation for the formation of a new body; but it is not expected that this will be done, if at all, until later in the year.—[N. ¥.

Statue of the Martyred President. THE UNVEILING CEREMONIES. Tribute of the Colored People INPOSI) DEMONSTRATIO? ORATION BY FREDERICK DOUGLASS. AN ORIGINAL POEM, EIC. Immediately after the assassination of President Lincoln at Ford's Theater, (now the Medical Murenm.) on the night of April 14th, 1865, @ subscription was started among the colored pcople for the purpose of raising money to erect a monument to his memory, and to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia, which was followed by a general emancipation of slaves throughout the country. This sub- scription finally reached a sum suflicient to erect & monument which, while it would be a lasting testimonial of the gratitude of the colored people, would also be creditable to them and an ornament to the locality waich micht be selected. THE WESTERN SANITARY COMMISSION took charge of the subject, and an ariist having furnisbed a design for a colossal monument of ,two figures representing Pres- ident Lincoln and an emancipated siave, a contract was made for the work, which was executed abroad, and by direction of Presi- dent Grant was admitted free of duty. Tne public reservation on East Capitol street, near 10th street east, which has been named “LINCOLN SQUARE, and improved by laying out of walks, plant- ing of shrubbery, &c., was selected as the site for the monument, authority was granted to place it there, and Congress at its last session made an oe ropriation of £3,000 to construct the pedestaj of granite. This having been completed, and the monument naving arrived in this country a few months since, Prof. J. M. Langston was authorized by the National Association to act as chairman of a committee to make arrangements for the dedination or unveiling of the monument. Sub-committees were appointed and the an- niversary of the emancipation proclamation falling this year on Easter Sunday, it was determined to select to day fer the purpose. This Is the first time since the assassination of Lincoln that the anniversary of that event has fallen on Good Friday. It was also determined that there should be « proces- sion, &c. The day being declared by act of Congress a holiday in this District, neither House of Congress was in session, and tre government departments, [istrict offices, and most of the places of business were ciosed, while flags were displayed at half mast on the public bulldings and many other houses, The Procession. That wide thoroughfare K street, between 9th and Mth streets, northwest, was desig- nated as the place for the procession to form, and early this morning it was the great point of attraction. Notwithstanding the showers, large numbers of persons, inciuding many whites, gathered to wiuness the formation of the line, or to take part in it. By the hour named for the formation, the street was crowded and presented an animated appear- ~ce with the marshals hurrying to and fro, ard the organizations marching back and {rth under their direction to éts proper place. All being in readiness, the word was siven and the procession moved in the fol- ‘owing order: egy otchment Metropolitan Police (mount- wt Charles H.
