Washington News and Gossip, GOVERNMENT ReceIPts To DAY.—Inter nal revenue, $225,139 43; castoms, $627,237.09. GENERAL SHERMAN and Major General Hancock were in the Senate chamber to-day vse, | during the impeaebment proceedings. THOMAS JEFFERSON BRADY, of Indiana, arrived here last night, and it is repSrted that he will, in aday or two, be appointed Second Assistant Postmaster General. THE NAME of Gen. Silas Dutcher, of New York, is prominently mentioned to succeed Mr. Pratt as Commissiover of Internal reve- nue. NAVAL ORDERS.—Commoore D. Me N, Fairfax and Captain Francis A. Roe are de- tached from the naval station, New London, Ct.,and Boatswain C. E. Hawkins left in charge. ANOTHER TEN Days’ SUPPLY.—Mr. Ran- dall will, to-morrow, offer a resolution ex- tending the provisions of last year’s appro- riation bills @n additional eleven days. ‘his will carry them over to tde ead of the month. TRE SUNDRY CLViL APPROPRIATION BILL 8 agreed upon cootains an item of 35,000 to replace the present Senate elevator, which does not work satisfactorily. It rans too slow and moves with a jarring sound, which is unpleasant to the elevated. AMONG THOSE who hwi interviews with the President this morning were the Secre- tary of War, the Attorney General, General Sherman, Senators Howe, Cameron, Sar- gent, Cosover and Logan, and Represeata- tives Williams, O'Neil, Adams, McDougall Lawrence and Wait. Ir IS UNDERSTOOD from excellent au- thority that in case the office of “Congres. sional Printer” is changed to that of the “Public Printer,” subject to the nomtnation by the President, and confirmation by the Senate, that Mr. A. M. Clapp, the present in- cum bent will be nominal for the position by the President. THE ARMY appropriation bill, as agreed upon, leaves the force of the army and sala- ries as at present, the House receding, but provides for the appointment of a commis. sion, one of whom shall be tne Secretary of War, and two others, army officers, whose duty it shall be to investigate and report at the next session, relative to the reorganiza. tion of the army. PINCHBACK’S PAY as @ Senatorial con- testant is nearly 217,000, and not : bas been stated. Mr. Sykes, of Al who contested Senator Spencer's seat voted about $6,000. Neither oi these contest- ants will be paid until provision is made by the legislative appropriation bill. The biil as proposed by the House makes no provision for the payment of elther contestant. Mz. BLAtNE’s ConDITION.—A gentleman who arrived in Washington to-day, and who saw ex- Speaker Blaine at his home fn Au- gusta, represents him as rapidly improving. On Monday afternoon he walked through his gaicen, and seemed quite hopeful. On Fri- day or Saturday he will takea run up the coast, and will probably stop at St. John’s (N. B) for a few w. THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.—Phe man- agers on the partof the Senate and House to-day recoretled the difference between the two houses, and agreed on the sundry civil and army appropriation bills. Both bills were subsequently signed by the conferees, and will probably be reported today. In the sundry civil bill, the House receded from the action in repealing the existing election laws. A conference on the iegislative bill will be held to night. The conferees on the consuler and diplomatic bill had a two hour,’ meeting this morning, but reached no con- clusion. Nor ARCHITECT MULLETT.—In the ar- ticle in this column yesterday in relation to the excess of expenditures over the appro- priations for the completion of the New York 1» WAS “post office building, the name of ex-Super- visipg Architect Mullett was erroneously substituted for that of Mr. Potter, under whore administration the expenditures were mace. Mr. Mullett’s resignation took place December 31, 1874. The appropriation for completing the building was made March 2d, 1875. It is therefore evident that the former itleman could not be responsible for any irregularity in disbursing an appro- briation that was made two months si quent to the date of his resignation. ConFIRMATIONS.—The Senate yesterday confirmed the following nominations :—Col- lectors of Customs—John Kelly, at William- ette, Oregon; Wm. L. Ashmore, Rarlington, N.J. United States Attorneys—Wm. Bliss, for the eastern district of Missouri, vice Da- vid P. Dyer; Luke Les, for the southern dis- trict of Mississippi; M. C. Page, for Montana. Lieut. Col. Wesley Merritt, 9th cavairy, to be jor Elmer cavalry; also all nominations for appoint. ments and ious in the medical de- partment which were sent to the Senate on the Sth Instant, and several postmasters. CENTENNIAL VISITORS AT THE WHITE Hovse.—Every day numbers of folks from the rural districts can be seen on the street, on their way toor from the Centennial ex- hibition, known by their tout ensemble, (es- ally those Ulster dusters.) The White louse was full of them this morning—ladies ‘bya large majority”—all eager to shake the President by the nand. Twoof them, cesiring to make the most favorable impres- Sion possible upon General Grant, made of the east room a lady’s boudoir for the time being, and proceeded to go through the in- irteacies of the toilet, powder-box and all, before the large mirrors there, the marble mantel making an admirable hair-pin holder. Their evolutions were witnessed by an interesting gathering, en pantaloon, la the outer hall. Everything being finished to their satisfaction, they composediy took their piace in the line. A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS was held in the hall of the House of Representatives last hight, continuing from 8 until 11 o'clock, aboul severty members being it. They considered the subject of the bill making ap- pi opriations for sundry civil expeuses of the government, and in order toremove the only obstacle in the way of agreement of the con- ference committee, it was agreed the House should recede from their amendment —— | the provisions of the revised statutes relating to the registration of voters and the appointment of se) of elections deputy and special deputy marshals, and touching the su; epsures the in fere' the lilieal question in ‘connection with Loutal- ana, South Caroling and Alabama.

C.. WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1876. at hment of Proposed Impeae! Secretary It is understood that Mr. Glover, chairman of the Committee on the Real Estate Pool, has been directed by the Committee to rec- ommend that Secretary Robeson be im- peached for high crimes and misdemeanors, for having transferred to the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. moneys belonging to the United States. It is stated also that the individual opinion of a majority of the House Judiciary Committee that Lae Sg Soi to Mr. Robeson are im- ‘ate hour last night the democratic s of the Judiciary Committee were Pogomg ow books, in order to be clear ax to how M: Glover should |. When they adjour. ed they were equally divided To-day, 1t is understood, they secured a ma- Jority in favor of impeachment. Leading Senators and Representatives say that If an impeachment resolution is brought in against Mr. Robeson that the Senate wi:! insist on trying the case at ouce; so that the Secretary can ve vindicated. The mores. sion among republicans is that the demo- crats want the impeachment resolution re- Pegg to be used as campaign capital, bat not want to proceed to trial until the next session. The Senate will probably re- fuse to adjourn if the resolution is reported until the case is disposed of; even if it pro- longs the adjournment sine die until Septam- ber or ‘. It can be detinitely stated that so far as the report of Caairman Whitthorne, of the Na- val Committee, is concerned, it was nearly all written and read to one or two democri ic members of the committee even before eeetaey Robeson was invited to make his lefence. THE HAMBURG MASSACRE—A Conference of Colored Men Called.—Ex-Congressman Robert B. Elliott, speaker of the South Car- olina House of Representatives, has issued a circular letter to several leading colored men, in which he says: “In view of the gross and unprovoked ou! that are being daily committed upon our colored brethren throughout the state, and the many dangers that ten us on account of our devotion to republican principles, I have deemed it my duty to invite you to attend a confer- ence of some of the resep tative men of our race, to be held at lumbia on Tues- day, the 20th instant, for the exchange of views upon the situation and the adoption ofsuch ful measures as may be deemed advisable for our protection and proper vin- —- hep ey depen 2 I Regn mo sin- cerely hope meeting may vored ‘with your presence."” = ee _ POLITICAL NoTEs.—Governor Hendricks emphaticall: ferences hi denies the statement that dif. arisen between himself ana Governor Tilden at the Saratoga confer- ence.

Dr. Preble, of the east- ern district hospital, was hastily summoned this morning to the sixth | igen Police station, of Brooklyn, where he found John McMillan, aged twenty-five years, in great agony, evidently suffering from cholera, he having been stricken down suddenly in the strcot. After administering temporary re- lief the sufferer was removed to No. 161 Skill- man street, where he resided, and where he Was placed under private medical care. There is grave doubt whether or not he can recover.—([™. nme 2, 13th. THF editor of the Cincinnati Commercia! expisins how the phrase ‘eating crow” orl einated: One of the boy: once upon a time the foolish prejadi f the people in terfered with their pleasures to a greatex tent. There was the crow—the best bird in the world for eating. Only people refused to belleve it. He had tried the bird and kaew. He was urged to dissipate prejudices by eat- ing his favorite game bird in public, and he did. but was constra‘ned, in jastice to him self, to remark that, while he cou'd eat crow, he really would admit thi did not han- Ker for it. So when one has to take some- thing that he hankers not for, it is called “eating crow.” DESTRUCTION OF CROPS.—Tte havoc caused by drought in New Jersey and on Long Island is becoming serious, and will cut off the vegetable supply to avery considerable extent, unless there is immediate relief. Berries have already dried up or shriveled 80 as to be slmost worthless, and fruit of various deecriptions are failing prematurely. The apple crop 1s th e rosgn om extensive region.

THE PRESIDENT, Mrs. Grant and U. 8., jr., Secretary Fish, Marshal Sharp and family, arrived Friday afternoon, and took up their quarters in one of the cottages, there being no suitable rooms in the hotel vacant. Notwithstanding the third term opponents being largely in the m~sjority, I noticed they were tue first to toady into the notice of the Presidential party, and have so continued. Saturday a special train was provided for the Presideat and party and such of the guests from here and Oakland as wished to view the Cheat river; on their retarn the President stopped at Oskland for dinner, returoing about six Pp. m. After supper the dining room was cleared for & hop in honor of the party, but being scarce of young men or old who could or would dance, did not prove a success.

Senator and Mrs. Jones and Postmaster General Tyner and wife are also occupying rooms here. N.B. THE SUMMER'S MORTALITY IN PaILa DELPHIA.—The effects of the protractu: and intense hot weather bave at length sbown themselves in a heavy rate of mor tality in our city. The number of deatus rose last week to the extraordinary figure o! #54. It 18 true that the city now coutain- many more people than it usually does in summer, partly in consequence of the great influx of Centennial gueste, and partiy ir consequence of the large number of our own citizens who usually go into the country for but this year are remaining in ja. Still {t is undoubtedly the will fully account for the vast in- crease in the weekly returp of deaths; and this will be seen by @ comparison with the corresponding week of last year, which was @ comparatively cool one, and when the deaths num hong hr it is farther and m record 0st Strikingly seen ie of deaths from sunstroke, which number 80 for week.

On motion of Mr. Frelinghuysen, the Sen- ate bill for therelief of George T. Olmstead, Jr., Was taken up, and the House bill substi- tuted therefor, and passed. Mr. Kelley called up the bill to adjast the claims of the owners of lands wituin the limits of the Kiamath Indiaa reservation, in the state of Oregon. Mr. Edmunds opposed the bill on the ground that, although the act was anterior to the setting apart the reservation, the ac tual location of the grant was subsequent to such setting apart, and therefore illegal and Ric ge Sheer grantees no claim for other lands in substitution for the Indian land.

The crew is @ good one and numbers four of those who bandied sweeps in last year’s paper boat, Which proved so fast. A.R.Gillisand C. E” King retired from last year’s six, and A. W. Smith and Jobo Lewis, respectively occupy their places, the old four continuing in their old positions. Cornell has peculiar advant- ages for making up @ crew, from that the curriculum is more accommodating than at the larger colleges, and hence ferent class of students are obtained, mau of them being accustomed to manual labor, and bence better adapted to the hard work which @ severe course of training necess!- tates. The crew is a good one and has hard and steady work, the iustitation hoping to do even better than last year.

SITTING BULL'S LINGUAL ACHIEVEMENTS —BE SPEAKS FRENCH AND KEADS NA POLEON—HIS VINDICTIVE FEELING TO- WARD AMERICANS. (From the Chicago Tritrme, July 14 | I bave learned a complete history of this hostile warrior, Sitiing Bull. He is a Teto Sioux and only thirty-five years of age. Ca; McGarry, of the steamer Beaton, tells mehe has Known Sitting Bull about the Upper Missouri trading posts for many years. His priucipal bartering place was at Fort Peck, gh of late years he and his band have followed the buffalo north on the Sourts and Pembina rivers, and have bar- tered their robes and tongues for guos and ammunition with the French halt-breeis of Manitoba. Sitting Ball was aconvert and friend of Father de Smet, who taught him to read and write French. He has always scorned to jearn English, but is fair l’rench scholar. In the Dakota language he is also versed, and declared to be @ better orator than Little Pheasant, chief of the Yanton- nais. Captain McGarry says he knows that Sitting Bull has read the French history of Napoleon's ware, and believes that he has modeled bis generalship after the little Cor- sican Corporal. Sitting Bull has never ac- an overture of peace, the report tuat he gave in his adhesion to Sally to the con- trary notwithstanding. He bas always been an unrelenting and VINDICTIVE SAVAGE to the Americans what Schamy! was to the Russian. Father De Smet kept the Teton. Sioux from the ta until 1863. He thea left the Upper Missourl and Sitting Bul! be- came a chief. No organized effort was made to array the Sioux nation against the whites until the Minnesota massacre of 156), when the Sioux were driven west of the Mis. sourl into the bad lands and mountains of Dakota. Sitting Bull e- to the leader- ship, but Red Clond, Spotted Tail, Little Pheasant and the Ogalaila Sitting Ball chiefs repudiated him. From that time he and at war with the © young braves into bis ranks. He is also LARGELY REINFORCED by young braves from the Crees and Assin’ boins of Manitoba. Every summer for five years be has been up north among these tribes, and now they are flocking to bis enough to be beyond the reach of wolves or coyotes. Pocton.
