In response toa formal welcome by the governor the President made @ speech in favor of immigration to Virginia. rging upon the cheapness of her land the fertility of her soil, the nearness to mar ket, and all the advantages that should be attractive to those seeking better homes. In- teresting speeches were mace by the mom bers of the Cabinet accompanying the Presi dent, and by Senator Morgan, of Alabama. Hon. CLARKSON N.

THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.—The committee on appropriations, in its consid eration yesterday of the army estimates, listened to the views of the Secretary of War, of Gen. Shirman, Adjutaut General Town- send, Quartermaster General Meigs, Com- missary General MacFeeley, and Ganeral Beret, chief of ordnance. Tue opinion was expressed by all these officers that further reduction of the army is unadvisable. It ts expecteed that the army bill will be reporied to the House to-day or to-morrow, aud that it will advise for the present fiscal year (end- ing June 50) no diminution of tle present Strength of the army, HITCH ON THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BiLL.—The appropriation commiitice of the House had agreed upon a basis for the army bill. A sub-committee was appointet draft a bill on the basis of 23.000 men. Upon making the footings of the bill, this morn ing, It was discovered that the aggregatesum. needed Was $26,300,000. This is one million dollars more than the democrats are to atlow the army. The democratic m-m- bers of the committee met alone, exelading the republicans, to consider som plan to re-~ dnce wis aggregate. There seems lo b> marked hostility to the staff of the army even arong the republican members of the commitice.

Mr Conkling replied that he hoped the honorabie gentleman from Ohio would permit them to remain with the com- mittee until an —, for their consid- eration arose. He added, inimically, that there was no necessity for undue haste, inas- touch as the officers who now be 1d the offices were competent and experienced gentlemen, ard that a litledelay would not antagoaize the public interests. Senator Coakling con ferred with all the members of thecomm|tee this morning and It was decided not tohold a mecling belore next week. THE BANKING AND CURRENCY Conxrr- TEE this morning did not agree upon the silver bill, as was expected. There was so much wrangling in the committee over the repeal of the resumption bill that the entire two hours were cousumed in the discussion that subject. western mem: i bers who have been anxious for the repeal bave discovered that the repeal absolately abolishes free banking. This is really the of Ewing, who wisues to substitute greenbacks for national bank notes, but most of the western republican inflationists are friends of the national bank Ing sysiem.
