THE FURLOUVGHED CLERKS at the General Land Office will resume their duties to-morrow. THE COMMISSIONER of the General Land Office, wh has been absent from the city for about a week, returned to his desk to-day. THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE to- day agreed to report adversely Mr. ‘Beck's resolution to suspend payments to the national sinking fund. THE MANAGERS of the Florida “confessions” do not yet indicate when an investigation will beasked. They are in communication t New York, and await the order of the Gr marcy Park statesman to advance. AT THE CABINET meeting to-day only rou- tine business was transacted. The Florida question Was not even referred to. | NOMINATIONS.—The President sent to the Senate totlay the following nominations: Commodore Robert H. Wyman, of District of Columbia, to be Rear admiral in the nay: Normen Buck, of Minn. U.S. for Idaho; ED. Chas Wn. T. Owens, Boo! Culpepper, Vai; C. Ohio; Chas. G. Clark. Hefiner, Shreveport, 1 THE PRESIDENTS ORDER AND THE STATE AssOCIATIONS.—There is no probability that the proposed reorganization of the different repubiican state associations which were in operation before the President's ciyil service order Was promulzated, will amount to any- thing. The President has not rescinded th: order and does not (as far as it can be asce tained) contemplate the members of his jas. Coch W. Fisher, Bu Ann Arbor, Mich. other obstacle in the way of their reorgani tion. Outside of Washington they were ver popular with the republicans, who considered that they tried to run the whole machine of polities and were inclined to be very dictato- rial. This is the felling of those Who have K active part in polit Although the ill not be permitted, there will be ng objection to the former members or any other employe of the government contributing to the campaign fund or working in the inter- est of their party through the republican Con- gressional committee or the executive com- mittee. This is the situation as regards to government employes and politics. Frety DOLLARS PER HEAD.—It is under, Stood that the executive committee of the republican campaign committee, has decided to request a contribution of $50 per head from each republican member of Congress. EX-REPRESENTATIVE FRED. A. PIKE has nominated by the greenback party as andidate for member of the House of tives from the fifth district of Maine—Hale’s distr THE SINKING committee on Ways and means to-day directed Chairman Wood to report a bill to’ Suspend the payments. to the sinking fund until 1885, AMONG THE CALLERS on the President to day, were Senators Matthews, Conover and Saunders, Representatives Rainey, Town- send.

DAUGHTER.—The paragraph in yester Stak to the effect that the daughter of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, had made a runaway match with a young man named H. y, is contradicted by Father De Wulf. pastor of Si Peter’s church. who says that he married Ma gie L. Mitchell and William R. Handy. on Tuesday, the 23d, with the consent of her ents, and in their presence. We cheer- ully aecept the correction, and wish the handsome couple all manner of happiness. The paragraph in THE STAR was made on ap- parently undoubted authority. The report that it Was a runaway match was probably strengthened by the fact that according to the records at the City Hall no license has been taken out for the marriage of the parties named. As of course Father De Wulf would not have married them without a license they must have procured the necessary documauit outside the District of Columbia. Joun M. BricHT, JR., son of Hon. John M. Bright, of Tennessee, and a young man of great promise, died at Fayetteville, Tennessee on Saturday last after a brief illness, aged twenty-six Pe A few months ago, Bright lost his wife, and this fresh alti is a severe test of his fortitude. DESTRUCTION OF LEGAL TENDER NoTEs.— The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the destruction of $1,167,696 legal tender notes, that being 80 per cent. of the amount of ad- ditional national bank circulation issued during the month, and the same amount will be disbursed in silver dollars for currency obligatious, in conformity with the order issued on Saturday. LirE INSURANCE DEcision.—The Supreme Court of the United States yesterday decided that a failure to pay premiums on life insur- ance policies, when there is.no local agent to receive them, does not invalidate the policy. Two OTHER Persons mentioned in connec- tion with the Florida election business (be- sides those heretofore named in Tue STar) are in the employment of the government in this city. One is ex-Sheriff Green, who isa clerk in the Sixth Auditor's office, and the other ex-Superintendent of Elections Bowles, who is 1n the office of public moneys, Treasury department. Captain J. G. WALKER is detached from dpty as secretary of the light-house board on the 30th instant, and ordered asa member of that rd, relieving Commander George Dewey, who will assume the duties of secre- tary of the board. REAR ADMIRAL JOHN L. WORDEN, the hero of the fight between the Monitor and the rebel om Merrimac, at Hampton Roads, is in the y. THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CoMMIs- 810N.—Members of the New York legislature have asked the President to appoint David G. Cooly, of the New York Graphic, a member of the international monetary commission pro- vided for by the silver bill." The President has taken no step looking to the appointments eujetned upon him by the bill, as it is not re qu ie certain that such a commission will meet. ° CHECKING THE CHINESE FLOOD.—The sub committee of the House committee on educa- tion and labor have agreed to report a bill limiting the number of Chinese who may come in any one vessel to the United States to fif- teen.’ This, which will doubtless be agreed im] ation of nes United PO) ese into the CONFIRMATION.—The Senate in executive Session yesterday, confirmed the nomination of Rol A. Side an bert botham, r the territory of Idaho." ‘® P@ Secretary of MARRIAGE LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES.— The U.S. Supreme Court decided yesterday that the statutes of any state Providing for the presence of a minister or magistrate at the solemnization of m: e do not render a marriage at common law invalid for non-con- formity.

THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS TO THE HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. The following explains itself: Hon. A. 8. Williams, Chairman House of Representati Committee on District of Co- lwubia—Sir: We desire to call your attention to the probable condition of thé District trea- sury on the 30th of June next, which, on re- cent careful examination of its present econdi- tion and estimated resources and expendi- tures, shows a balance of cash on hand at that date of between $8,000 and $9,000. This balance may be a htte less or more than that sum, dependent on the receipts from taxes and miscellaneous sources. But it is to be assumed for practical purposes that that sum will be about the balance in eash on hand at that date. On the following day, July 14, there will be Ue $272,958.75, interest to be paid on District securities, for’ which no provision is made. From the Ist of July to the Ist of November, when the semi-annual taxes of the next fiseal year are payable, the District will be in receipt of only inconsiderable payments on every ac- count. We therefore beg to call the attention of your committee to the necessity of Congress making provision to enable the executive au- thorities of the Distriet to meet the interest due July 14, and the current expenses of the zovernment from June 30 to the Ist of Novem- The sum required for these purposes we estimate at $100,000. . If no better mode for rendering this aid to i we suggest that the Secretar ; be directed to advance to the District Commissioners, or their successors in office, between the Ist day of July and the Ist day of November nexi, such sums as may be trom time to time re- quired for the payment of interest on the old funded debt, and for the current expenses of the District government, the aggre to be so advanced not to d . the Commissioners, or their successors in of- fice, shall reimburse the Treasury the amount so advanced out of the resources of the Dis- triet on or before the expiration of the fise nding June 30. 1879. You will note that acopy in substance, with only change of times, of the 17th seetion of the tax law ap- proved Mareh 3, 1877. " We trust the passage of the pending or other bill establishing permanently the an- nual appropriation by Congress of the equita- bie share of the United States for the support of the District government, will render unne- cessary such legislation as we herein indi but, in the absence of such permanent 4 priation, we beg to urge upon your committee id Congress the importance of providing as suggested for the wants of the District be- tween the 30th of June and Ist of November next. Signed by the Comm The District in Congress. The passage of the public schools appropria- tion bill by the Senate is reported on the third page of this paper, toxether with the proceed- ings of the Senate on the vill in reference to taxation of churches.

The HE DETROIT FREE PRESS OFFI ion of a gas main early yesterday n front of the Free Er building, + Michigan, set fire to every flo and destroyed the composing and editorial rooms, as well as the io office connected with the establishment. The occupants of the press room escaped after the fire broke out, two of tiem being slightly injured.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE HON. DEMAS BARNES. The Cincinnati Gazette has a. telegram from St. Louis, April 25, saying: ‘The Hon. Demas Barnes of Brooklyn was married this morn- ing to Miss Annie Blakeslay, a young lady well known in St. Louis society. The wedding was something ot a social sensation, few be- ing aware of the intended marriage. The honorable gentleman has, Buying the past win- ter, made several visits to St. Louis without the fact becoming public at all, and has on the present occasion been in St. Louis several days unknown to the news gatherers. A reception was held on Wednesday evening, and to-day the couple started for Washington. THE MEXICAN INDIAN RAIDERS have dis- atched another mail carrier between Forts avis and Stockton, Rexas.

Steadwell, presi- dent of the defunct New Jersey Mutual Insi anee compan; pleaded not guilty on his in- dictment with Noyes and others to defraud the poliely holders. Tue trial is fixed for May 8. The civil suits against Receiver Parker commence to-day. DENUNCIATION OF MOLLIE MAGUIRES.—In the Catholic church at Milford, Mass., Sunday, Father Cuddihy denounced the ancient Hiber- nian order in the most severe terms, declared their pews in the church vacant, and warned Americans against the order, as such Mollie Maguire disturbances as took place In Penn- sylvania might be repeated in New England. embers of the oraer declare their intention ie pohere thereto, regardless of the action of 1 chuch. THE Christian Uuion says: “The growth of the habit of ghectying ster among the churches is obvious year by year. In Boston we notice that not less than 13 chureaes, other than Roman Catholic and Episcopal, an- nounced special Easter services or sermons on Sunday. Of these churches five were Con- gregational, four Unitarian, two Rapist and “wo lethodist. One of the Unitarian churches went so far as to give notice of a con- firmation.” THE VEILED WOMAN IN BLACK who inter- rupted the meeting at Plymouth ehureh day night is Elizabeth Harth, of Lin- den avenue, Jersey City. She is supposed to be insane. Great RUN OF HERRING.—Though the shad Season was a failure the enormous run of her- rings in the Albemarle Sound is unprece- dented. The fisheries are catehing two and three hundred thousand at a haul and cannot begin to save them. They will stop fishing to- morrow for the season.

SENATE.—Immediately after the reading of the journal the Chair laid before thé Senate the bill to repeal the bankrupt act, as amend- ed by the House. Mr. Merrimon moved its reference to the Ju- diciary committee. Mr. Beck hoped it would not be referred. The bill should be passed at once. Messrs. Hill and Christiency opposed the re- ference, the amendments did not change the nature of the bill. Mr. Conkling agreed that the amendments did not require review: but he said many law- yers held that the saving clause was too nar. row, and did not act to save certain rights of action, af for instance, the rights of assignees, It was’ true the Senator from Michigan had prepared an amendment to meet this difficul- ty, but it had not been printed, and he thought it could be better considered in commiitee. The Senate had cone dy falien into error in one instance, and it would be mortifying if a second one should occur. a Mr. Beck contended that the bill, if it was to be passed at all, should be passed at once, v. Hill said the judiciary committee was favorable to the bill, and he could see no good reason why it might not be considered by a committee. Mr. Christiancy offered an amendment wh he said would meet the objection. He thought the original clause covered everything, but submitted this to make it certain. Mr. Ingalls said the elamor for the repeal of the bankrupt act came from the ereditor, and not the debtor elas i bility ofthe j had been sha It had been looked upon as Next to the Pope in infallibility, yet here was a Dill that had been amended by the House, the necessity of the amendment acknowledged, and a further amendment was now proposed: The bill should be further considered. After further debate, at 1 o’cloek, the pend- ing bill was temporarily laid aside that the business of the morning hour might be trans. h the understanding that it be re- acted, sumed. Mr. Kirkwood presented Hon. W, B. Allison as Senat years from March 4, 187 Mr. Dorsey presented a petit ereigns of Industry ef the Dis bia, for a law to secure ful purchaser. Referred o Dis : Mr. Maxey, from the committee on military afiairs, reported a bill to amend the 103d arti- cle of war. Mr. Cockrell, from the same committee re- ported House bill authorizing the President to appoint James Shields, of Missouri, briga general in the U.S. army on the retired list. Placed on the calendar. ; Mr. Cockrell said the report was not a unani- mous one, and the minority would present their views at the proper time. Mr. Sargent, from the conference committee on the naval i i report, whi he Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill to repeal the bankrupt act. HOUSE.—The House met to-day at eleven o'clock, and, under a resolution recently adopted. will hereafter meet at that hour. Alter the journal had been read, Mr rose to 1 appropriation bill, submitted a h was agreed to. ION OF PRIVILEGE, ion to the fact that th the Congressit A Qu and called aitenti lowing appeared i this morning: “The Clerk proceeded to call the roll, and following members failed to answer to their names.” [Then follow the nan 2 bers who were present. T cording them as absent.] . Mr. Price objected to that statement going to the country. There were 112 tried and true men who were here all during last night's ses- sion, and he did not wish an erroneous idea to go to the country. He therefore moved that the list of absentees be read over, in order that they might appear correctly in the Record and go to the country corrected. Mr. Thompson, who was one of the absentees last night, objected to any change. The Speaker said it was due to the reporters to say that they had marked the list correct and the mistake was made by the pruter Mr. Mills wanted to know whether the. re- p a shad drank anything but ice water last night. ir. Blackburn, who was absent last night, objected to any change. Mr. Lapham made the point of order that gentlemen who were not present last night could not participate in this discussion. The Speaker overruled the poiat of order. He thought the gentlemen who were absent were particularly interested. After turther discussion the list of absentees was read, and they were ordered to be pub- lished in the Record. The regular order having been demanded the House resumed consideration of the bill pending last might, when the House found itself without a quorum, and when a call of the House was ordered, namely, the bill for relief of settlers on the line of the South and North Alabama Railroad company. On motion of Mr. Sampson, the introducing the main question was reconsidered, and the ball a referred to the committee of the whole. Mr, Hewitt (Ala.) moved to go into commit- tee of the whole for the purpose of taking up that particular bill. The Speaker ruled that the latter motion was notin order. A motion could be made to go into committee, but the committee itself must determine what business should be taken up. < The House went into committee of the whole, and the Speaker called Mr. Eden to the chair, ard Mr. Hewitt moved to take up the Ala: bama railroad bill. Mr. Atkins insisted that the unfinished busi- ness—the legislative appropriation bill—should come up as the regular order. The Chair submitted the question to the committee, and it was decided to go on with the legislative bill. Russian Embarrassments. DIFFICULTIES OF THE SITUATION IN TURKEY. Sunday, which was looked forward to in Constantinople with considerable apprehen- sion of the consequences which might result if the Russian troops attempted to enter the cit; under the pretext of hearing mass in the Gree! churches, passed quietly. Only a small num. ber of Russians came in Saturda: night, most of whom spent the night in cafes chantant. Only about fifty of them attended church. The question of the evacuation of the fortres. ses continues to cause difficulty and irritation. The Russians say that the retirement of their army and the British fleet from the neighbor- hi of Constantinople could be easily ar- ranged but for the Turkish obstinacy on this int, which destroys confidence. Last week enerals Joavanowsky and Zimmermann sent officers simultaneouly to Fezli Pasha at Shumla and Ahmed Kaiserli at Varna, with formal demands for the surrender of those places ‘The answers in both cases were that no orders to quit had been received from the seras- kierate, nor if such orders were received conld the troops be moved until tenoports came. Some threats were then used. Finally the Russians begged permission to occupy the outer lines, jeaving the inner lines and towns to the Turks. This was dechned, and the Russians pressed the point. “Let us talk no more about this foolishness,” was Ahmed Kaiserli's last answer. There are forty-five full battalions between Shumla and Varna, with fourteen batteries of artillery. The evacuation of Batoum is rendered difficult through the opposition of the population. ———<$——____ ‘THE REBELLION IN WILLISTON SEMINARY, East Hampton, Mass., has not been suppressed.

If the earth turns around, then all the peo- ple, the houses, the rivers, the creeks, the trees, the lakes and the surrounding territory would be mixed up together, and we would certainly all be drown: We don’t have any little trap in our feet by which we can hold on to the earth, like the fly on the ceiling. “The sun do move, and not the earth. en the angel sounded his trumpet and the earth moved we would all know it, and that sound would be unwelcome to lots of us.” ., ,,A8 TO THE PHILOSOPHERS, he said they were gentlemen, but ‘mistaken.

These philosophers woul have to look through so1 ething else besides the microscope. They are woetully mistaken, “and the sun do move HOW DOES THE SUN GET BACK AGAIN? The lecturer was well received, and was fre- quently greeted with shougs of laughter and hearty applause, especially when he wound up a syllogism With “therefore the sun do move." One of the audience asked him at the close of the lecture how the sun got back to its starting point after rising in the east and set. ting in he west. He said he hasted back, for the Bible said “the sun goeth down and has- teth to the place where he arose !” —S TE Case or DeTecTive BELL—His Arrest on Requisition from the Governor of Texas, This morning James F.
