THE NEW DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS.—The Sec- retary, chief clerk and bureau officers of the ‘Navy department have picked out the rooms which they will occupy in the new War, Navy and State department building. The oflicers of the War department are now picking out thelr future offices. It is expected that a removal into new quarters will be accomplished by the middle of next month. When it is made, the ‘Navy department will occupy the southern half of the new wing, the continuation of which fronts on 16th street, and tie War department the northern half. The present buildings now occupied by the War and Navy departments will then be torn down. When the ng facini Pennsylvania avenue, and the wing faci itl ‘street, which will complete the poadrang) le, are finished, the War department will occupy them | and the Navy department will take the whole of the ae the continuation of 16th st., which the War and Navy will first occupy con- jointly. The War department will thus have two sides of the quadrangle. All the branches of the department, commissary, ordnance, juartermaster, &c., now distributed around in ferent parts of* the city, will be focused in these two wings. -'The south wing will remain in use by the Department of State.

At Mr. Randall’s house that gentleman appeared, and after remarking that he felt atly honored by this mark of their esteem, e spoke in glowing terms of what he conceived to be the future of the democratic party.

THE DRAWING OF SEATS IN THE Hovss.—Some | of the most prominent members of the House fared badly in the drawing for seats yesterday. i Fernando Wood was forced to the last row on the left of the main aisle.

THE OHIO MEwoORIAL..—The memorial pend- | ing in the House of Representatives touching theelection of Benj. F. Butterworth and ex- Governor Tom Young, in the 1st and 2d districts of Ohio, it is not thought is presented with any view to a contest for their seats by Messrs Say- lorand Banning. The object seems to be on the part of the democrats to make capital, In | maintaining the position taken by the party for the repeal of the supervisor's law. The memo- rial remonstrating against continuance of the | law is signed by prominent Cincinnati demo- crats, but the aflidavits which are attached to it, tis claimed, were added tithout the au- thority of the memoralists, Gov. Young last night received telegrams from two of the sign- | ers to the memorial to have their names erased, as they were signed under a misapprehension of the purpose for which the memorial has been , used. Among the twenty.three affidavits which | accompany the memorial is one subscribed to | by three men who alee they accompanied Mr. Butterworth in a hack on election day; that he had with him two satchels, one containing | silver coin, and the other bank bills, and that he made liberal disbursements for votes. Masox E. H. Nevin, proprietor of the Phli- adelphia Press, is at the Ebbitt House, and will remain in the city for a few days.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. -Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives: The failure of the last Congress to make the | requisite appropriations for legislative and ju- | dicial purposes, for the expenses of the several executive departments of the government, and for the support of the drmy, has made tr neces- sary to call a special session of the Forty-sixth Congress. The estimates of the appropriaitons needed, which were sent to Congress by the Sec- retary of the Treasury at the opeaing of the last session, are renewed, and herewith trans- mitted to both the Senate and the House of Representatives, Regretting the existence of the emergency which requires a special session of Congress ata time when it is the general judgment of the country that the public wel- tare will be best promoted by permanency in our legislation, and by peace and rest, I commend these few necessary measures to your consider- RUTHERFORD B, Hayes. Washington, March 19th, 18 Ke Caucus of Republican Senators. REPRESENTATION OF THAT PARTY ON THE COM- ITTEES. At a caucus of republican Senators this morn- ing, the personnel of the minority representa- tion on the Senate committees was arranged; and the list returned to the chairman of the democratic caucus, by whom it: will be offered to the Senate for adoption this afternoon. Three chairmanships of standing committees accord- ed to the republicans (viz, revolutionary claims, private land claims and engrossed bills) were assigned by thé caucus to Senators An- thony, Edmunds and Conkling, respectively. Mr. Dawes retires from the finance committee; the four republicans now left on it being Sena- tors ‘Morril, Ferry, Jones of Nevada, and Alll- son. The minority representation on the ap- ropriation committee wili be as follows:— Nesers. Windom, Allison, Blaine and Booth. Mr. Chandler is assigned to the committee on commerce, together with Messrs. Conkling, Mc- Millan and Jones of Nevada, who were on it Jast session. Mr. C penis takes the place for- merly occupied by Mr. Howe, as a member of the judiciary committee,and Messrs. Edmunds and Conkling continue upon ft. Mr, Carpenter is also made a member of the committee on for- eign relations, the other ei Secre members j being Messrs. Hamlin, Conkling and Kirkwood. The republican caucus this morning, after a general interchange of views, agreed unani- mously that the legislation of the present ses- ston ought to be confined to the passage of the two eS lose fy bills free from all political legislation, and Mr. Edrnunds was authorized to offer in the Senate a resolution to that effect. ‘Nominations.—The President sent the follow- ing nominations to the Senate to-day:—Consuls- general—James Riley Weaver, of West Va., at Vienna; David H. Bailey, of Ohio, at Shanghai. Consuls—Jobn M. Morton, of California, at Ho- nolulu; Henry Dithmar, of New York, at Bres- lau. Miscellaneous—Edward M. Neill, of R.

Bell, postmaster, Americus, Ga.; also, a number of army promotions, ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE are estimates from the Secretary of the Treasury of ube money needed for the army and the legisla- live and judicial branches of the government. ‘These estimates are the same as those submitted at the opening of the last session with the ex- ception of the items provided for at that session. ‘The last Congress made provision for the mil tary academy at West Point and for fortifica- tions and armament. This leaves, according to the estimates; $25,340,500 yet to be appropriated | for the support and maintainance of the army. None of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriations were even provided for in part. ‘The estimate for these expenses is $16,520,601.91. ‘To these appropriations are also to be added the item for court expenses, which 1s Peeraly, Pes in the sundry civil bill but which was left out of that bill at the last session. The esti- mate for these expenses 5 000, ‘THERE SEEMS TO BE A DECIDED IMPRESSION that Congress will not go into general legisla tion, but will confine its work to the special duty for which the session is now convened by the President. If such proves to be the deter- Mination, Speaker Randall will not the committees until next winter, except the com. mittee on appropriations and accounts, THE APPROPRIATION BILLs.—Representative | Sparks, of Mlinois, a member of the House com- | mittee on appropriations of the last session of Congress, has been authorized by prominent democratic members of the Lees Congress to submit to the House at the first practicable moment the army appropriation for its immediate consideration.

Tue Rervs.ican Caucus KESOLUTION.—The following is the resolution which was offered in the Senate by Mr. Edmunds to-day, in accord- ance with a unanimous agreement of the re- publican caucus. Its present consideration was objected to by Mr. Sauisbury, and it therefore went over until to-morrow: “Whereas the necessity for the present special session of Co! has n occasioned by the tallure of the last Congress to make appropria. tions for the support of the army, and for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses of the government for the next fiscal year; and whereas the business and other public interests of the country will be promoted by con- fining legislation at this session to making pro- vision for the objects aforesaid, and by an oa adjournment: therefore, be it Resolved, That ail i s| a & 5 bills and joint resolutions, excepting those for the ae aesia p shall be referred to ap- ropriate and not reported until t December sede he next mber ion.” —_----____ REVENUE SEIzURE.—The cigar factory of Frank Lawer, in Philadelphia, was seized yes- terday by Deputy Collector Schriever for viola- tion of the revenue laws, and about 5,000 stamped and 13,000 unstamped cigars and 1,500 pounds of leat oe were confiscated, and Lawer was arrested.
