GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS To-Day.—Internal revenue, $3 79; customs, F126,519.5% Tite SUBSCRIPTION to the four per cent. loan ay amounted to $170,400. AMONG THE CALLERS at the White House to- day were Justice Harlan, Representatives Goode, Dwight, Stairn and Peddie, and Wm. Stokes Boydwayn, of Jacksonville, Fla. GENERAL SHERMAN returned to the city this morning from his visit to St. Louis. GLOVER ON THE TRAIL OF ANOTHER Dewo- CRATIC OFFICIAL.—Mr. Glover, by verbal re- quest of Speaker Randal, will proceed with the investigation of the accounts of Sergeant- at-Arms T. G. Thompson. It is hinted that the investigation will branch out tothe office of the Clerk of the House, George M. Adam: whose anmual reports have been’ critically e: amined by one of G.’s irrepressible experts. THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT. — The House this morning, by yeas to nays 110, adopted a resolution to postpone the consid- ration of the Senate adjournment resolution until May 1th. Four demoerats refused to abide the caucus decision and voted against the postponeme: These were Bridges and Clymer, of Pennsylvania; Luttrell, of Califor- nia, and Cutler, of New THE CAnrneT MEERING to-day was short. ‘etary Thompson and Postmaster General were absent. The New Orleans collec- lorship was not settled. THE AMENDED DIstKICT GOVERNMENT BiLt.—Govy. Hendee will, prior to the adjourn- ment of the House to-day, request permission to report for consideration at to-night’s s¢ ion the bill to provide a form of government r the District of Columbia, which the Dis- e is ready to report, with the property qualifications for the members of the council, and a poll tax on the voters, stricken out. Tur PHONOGRATH AT THE CaPIToL.—A large company of ladies and Senators gathered in the Senate committee-room of patents this morning to hear Edison. the inventor, explain and illustrate the principles of the phonograph. He went through a number of illustrations, and the phonograph mimicked sounds with wonderful accuracy, not only the singing talking, but even the whispering. Hi quently changed the tone of his voice cidedly in one sentence, the p! paling the precise changes ea tor Ra Mogi time. ‘Sena- som asked the professor whether he amachine that would automati- atliy pick cotton. He replied he beli could. He says he has 15s patents caveats. . Mr. Edison also exhibited the curiosities of his phonograph in the room of the committee on patents of the House, many members of Congress being spectators, and subsequently he oceupiea a seat in the report Me THE OMAHA flagship of the south Pacific station. arrived at Hampton Roads this morn- ing: all were well on board.

Here she encountered « z of easterly gales such as are seldom enced ever in thatstormy region. During of these gales, George H. Young, ordinary se: ‘ man, fell overboard from the bowsprit and Was lost, it being impossible to lower a bpat to go to his rescue. COLORED Cavalry Goinc WEst.—The War Department directs the superin dent of mounted recruiting service to cause all dis- posable colored cavalry recruits to be pre- pared and forwarded to Fort nd, rado, where they will be report ment to the 9th cavalry. The superintendent general recruiting service will cause 209 to be tor ‘ded to Omaha Barracks, Nebraska. and be reported for assignment to the 4th infant ry. in the department of the Platte. First ‘utenant D. 8. Cragie will report for duty in conducting the latter recruits to their destina- tion. BoGvs CLAIMS FOR Customs DRAWSACKS.— The House committee on appropriations this morning had before it Special Agent Curtis,of the Treasury department, who was detailed by Secretary Sherman some time ago to report upon the matter of a large number of claims for customs drawbacks, claimed by a number of New York lawyers as attorneys for import- ers, It appears that when Secretary Sherman took charge of the Treasury he found a batch of these claims pending in the department, but refused to pay them, because he had no appropriation, and he communicated his ac- tion to Congress in a letter written on the lth of December last. The amounts claimed ag- eregate between two miilions and three millions of dollars. It now appears that certain New York lawyers who were in collu- sion with eustom house clerks received in- formation from these clerks of all the customs cases wherein there was a possibility that the importers may have been overcharged. Act ing upon this information the attorneys would have an interview with the importers, and be- tween them protests as to excessive charges would be drawn up, and claims for ‘drawback manufactured. The attorneys made contracts in each instance to be paid 50 per cent. of the amount received. Under Secret $s Bristow und Morrill many of the claims were paid, but Secretary Sherman not only has not paid Such cases on account of the lack of an_appropria- tion, but because he had reason to believe that many of the claims were fraudulent. His ions seem to have been well founded. Spe- 1 Agent Curtis reported this morning that nearly two-thirds of the claims had no foun. dation inlaw and should not be paid. The appro) ion committee will make a thor- ough Investigation. DISCHARGED.—Thirty-four meu, the last of the forty employed in repairing burnt models a the Patent Olice, were discharged yester- ay. TO PREVENT ANY MISAPPRENENSION of the article headed “Not yet satified about that $10,000,” in yesterday's Star, we state that the two first sentences only purport to give the substance of the testimony of Mr. Chipman. The remainder of the article embodies infor- mation obtained by the reporter from other sources. THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMIT- TEE at their meeting last night appointed Representative Hale as temporary chairman, and Representative Phillips, of Kansas, seere- tary, and resvived that the vacancies from states not represented in Congress by any re- publicans be not filled at present. Those states are Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, Texas and Georgia.’ Twenty-eight of the thirty-six members of the committee were present. An executive committee was ap- pointed, consisting of Representative Ha'e of Allison of Iowa, Representa- 2 of Vermont, Representative His. _New York, Representative Page of California, Representative Foster of Ohio, Representative Campbell of Pennsylvania, Representative Hubbell of Michigan, Senator Dorsey of Arkansas, and Senator Bruce of Mississippi. This committee will elect the seeretary. In the few remarks which were made it was urged that every effort be made for the success of the partyin the fall eam- paign, and it was said that the prospects to that end were encouraging. NOMINATION.—The President has nomi- nated Wm. H. Hunt, of Louisiana, to be judge of the Court of claims. THE REPEAL OF THE BANKRUPT Law.—Tie House committee on the judiciary has instruct. ed Representative MeMahon to move, when the Senate bili to repeal the bankrupt act shall be reached on the Speaker’s table, to put it on its passage.

Academy of Sciences. AN INTERESTING SESSION YESTERDAY—EDISON, THE MODERN MAGICIAN, UNFOLDS THE MYS- TERIES OF THE PHONOGRAPH. At the scientific session yesterday a paper on “The Effective Force of Molecular Action,” was read by Prof. Norton,and discussed by Pro- fessors Peiree and Alexander. Next camea paper entitled ‘Remarks on the Value of the esults Obtained for the Solar Paraliax from the English Telescopic Observations,” by Prof. Peters. This paper caused a Livery siecussion among the astronomers on the subject of the varyingestimates for the parallax of the “great gas ball fluctuating within narrow limits.” called the sun. Prof. Newcomb, in referring to the “black-drop” theory, said that at one time the question of the nature of the black- drops ogthe sun was almost an international one, and* that many Englishmen thought that speaking direspectfully of the black-drops was almost as bad as speaking disrespecttfully of the Queen. It looked, at one stage of the de- bate, as if the “black-drop” controversy would be repeated in the academy. After Prof (ne had read an essay on “The Vertebrate Fayna of the Permian Period of the Unileasiace>, pointing out their similarity to specimensfound in the Ural mountains, Mi, THOMAS A. EDISON, the celebrated inventor,appeared by invitation betore the Academy, and with him came the phonogra ph and ¢a telephone, which have made his fame w -wide. The secre- tary’s room and the adjoining hails were now crowded with an interested and. excited gathering of ladies and gentlemen. The doors, which Jed to the room adjoining the hali where the scientists have ued themselves daily with salmon and other brain food, were taken from their hinges m order that there might be “room for one more” to get a peep at the modern m:; nd his wonders. The eyes of grave a eager children wer nan.

After a few remarks of welcome by Prof. Marsh, the presiding ofiicer, the wonders of phonograph were unfolded by Mr. Edison’s assistant. WHAT THE PHONOGRAPH 18 LIKE. he instrument was placed on the presi dent's desk. It is eomposed of a eylinder, on Which appear spiral grooves, and which is con- nected with a crank by which it may be turn- ed,and a diaphragm over the cylinder, showing on the outer side a mouth piece, and on the inner a steel point. The cylinder was covered With tin-foil and set in motion. If no words had been spoken, the steel point would merely have pressed the tin-foii into the grooves of the cylinder and formed a regular indentation. But words spoken in the mouth piece caused vibration in the steel point as it indented the tinh When the machine was reversed and the sicel point placed where it commenced its Journey. as the cylinder again revolyed, the same Vv tions Were produced in the steel which ori, ions, and ivinally caused the indentat: were translated into sound waves and spoken irom the mouth piece. tered in th caused vib) and mdenta When words were ut- e, the sound waves iu the needle or steel point ‘ions in the tin-foil. When the steel point was again passed over the indented tin- foil, precisely the original vibrations were produced, which by a erse process were converted into sound wayes and issued from the mouthpiece as speech. ‘Thus the process Was entirely mechanical. Into the mouth- piece of the instrument M ison’s assistant sung and shouted and whistled and crowed, and in a few minutes the same sounds floated { upon the air faint but dis! a clare,” said one who had heard sounds more like the deyll every _ d before. “it me.” There Was something weird and uncanny about the thie 1 achine as it expressed itsell_ in artieu- neuage, and more than one little girl in dience crept up closer to her proiector the awful hush that preceded the phono. ph’s remarks was broken by its far oit ut. nee: The impressiveness of the scene heightened by the appearance of two pallid faces without any visible support over the top of a large photographie picture in one corner of the room. A second look revealed the fact that the eyes, which were “laring down on the marvelous phonograph, helonged to two young men whose curiosity had caused them to perch in a window parti- ally concealed by the large photograph. Just as the assistant was remarking ina bass voice to the phonograph on the subject of Uncle Ned. that “he had gone wh—,” the tin foil gave ont and the line remained unfinished. One of the audience, not a member of the Academy, how- ever, sugested that the line be completed by adding the words “where tin foil fuses.” Prot. Barker then told in a Picturesque way THE STORY OF THE TELEPHON The peculiar, point about Mr. Edison’s inven- tion isa little plate of carbon in the instru: ment, on which its efficiency depends. Carbon is susceptible to-a dit by a change in pressure. Mr. Edison has suc- ceeded in discovering a kind so suitable for is purpose that pressure of the most extreme cacy, even the mene breath may be de- tected. He isthe discoverer of the principle on which his telephone operates, and not sh ply an inventor. Examptes of the different telephones were shown, and the members of the Academy by their means carried on acon- versation with some one in Philadelphia. “A report of Progress on the subject of Oxygen in the Sun,” by Dr. Henry Draper, brought the scientific session to a close. A TALK WITH EDISON. The inventor is shy and shrinking, and did not show off at all ornamentally in the kind of reception which he was compelled to hold after the exhibition was over. His deafness isan embarrassment to him in this connee- . As Prof. Barker said of him,‘*He is a an of deeds not words.” in reply toa re- mark of a representative of THE STAR, refer- ring tothe number of people who had been pres , upon him for an introduction, he said: “ Yes, I don’t like these crowds. I can’t hear for one thing. Now, whemthe president welcomed me in the academy hall I didn't hear a word he said. So, if [had wanted to, I could not have replied.” Referring to the fact that Mr. Ford had invited him to attend the theater in the evening, THE Star man asked: we impossible for you to hear at the thea- er?” Edison.—* Oh, no!

Secretary Sherman has written a letter to the chairman of the Ohio state republican ex- ecutive committee, in which he says:—“I feel deeply interested in the election of the next House of Representatives, in the hope that it may contain a majority of those who agree with us in the opinion that the republican policy should prevail in the popular branch of Jongrt id no effort should be spared to about that result, especially in Ohio, y hitherto has in the main’ been the vanguard of our political contests, and ought how to be true to the principles and convic- tions which gave to our state so much honor during the war. Upon two or three things we certainly ouent toagree. This is a republican adininistration. The President was elected by republicans. He has been faithful and true to the pledges made a the party in the conven- tion that nominated him, and represents the aspirations and popes of the best elements of our party.” As tothe “policy,” Secretary Sher- man says:—‘It is true, also, that the policy of conciliation to the south, from the highest motives of public good, has resulted in quiet, e and order ; and, as I believe, will in due ime result in the ascendency of the republi- can party in several of the southern states. Upon the financial Doar we certainly have done what we promised to do. We have faith- fully executed the law providin, sumption of specie payments, and equality of gold and silver an paper money is now so near that it would be the eight of madness to recede to the uncertainty and perils of incon- trovertible paper money.” ‘he letter closes by Stating that the only danger which now threatens the country is the ascendency of the democracy to national power, and concludes with the statement that “it is far better that we should meet and resist this danger than to quarrel among ourselves about the smaller questions of official patronage and official in- terference in elections.” for the re. THE MARYLAND GOVERNORSHIP.—Mr. James C.
