A proposition toin- crease the printing committee was considered, Dut it was found that the law fixed the mem- bership of that committee at 3, in conformity witha like committee of the Sena'e, the two act jolntly when by so doing the measures re- | ferred to them can be better facilitated. The committee took no action on the proposed dls- tribution of the several annual appropriation bills among the committees having like sub- jects in charge. But it is very probable that when the question of Increasing the committee on apprepriations is laid hefore the House, some controversy Will arise, and that those favoring the division of the work of appropriation will propose to commit to the muitary comm: the appropriations for the army and all b €3 of the military service, to the naval cor tee; the appropriations for the naval ser: to commerce; appropriations relating to 1: gation, &c., Xc.

Nothing, therefore, but a sense of this | | duty induces me to ask that you allow me to decline the brilliant position you offer.” $350,000,000 FOR INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.— Representative De la Matyr has prepared and will introduce in the House, if an opportunity offers, a bill authorizing a loan of $35,000,000 of full fegal-tender money to certain companies to be expended in internal improvements. It wi!l be proposed that the loan shall be made for twenty-five years, without interest for the first | five years, and three per cent. interest to be paid semi-annually thereafter. The following are the corporations mentioned to whom such loans should be made:—The James River and Kanawha canal, Great Western canal, Florida Coast canal, Fort St. Phillip canal, Niagara Falls canal, Lexington and Big Sandy rallroad, railroads connecting the waters of the Miss slesipp! with the Pacitic coast, and tnprove the Ohio river.

Shortly after that hour the New York bank of commerce sub- | scibed 240,000,000 and the First Nationa! bank of New York $19,000,000, This amount was suf- felent to wipe out the whole of the 5-20 loan. A call was issued and got out about ten o'clock last night for the balance of the 5-20's of 156 ‘The cail was for about $19,000,000, but owing to. the exchange jn some instances of 5-20 bonds for four per cents instead of the direct, purehase of the latter it 1s impossible at this time to give tbe exact amount of the call. When the four per cent. subscriptions had amounted to the outstanding 5-20's of 1867 and 186s, Secretary Sherman issued the following circular subscriptions to the 4 per cent. consols hav- Ing been received to the full amount of the 5-20 6 per cent. bonds outstanding, the circular of this department of the date of January 1, 1879, inviting such subscriptions, is recinded. ‘The $10 refunding certificates will be sold, as heretofore, under the circulars of the dates of March 12 and 26, The 4 per cent. consuls witl hereafter be sold for the redemption of 10-40 bonds of the act, of March 3, 1864, upon the terms to be hereafter prescribed. ‘Ihe fecretary had the contents of this circu- Jar telegraphed to New York. Before tt nad become known that subscriptions to the four Yer cents had been stopped, additional subscrip- Uons to the amount of $50,000,000 had been offered. To-day it had not become so generatly known that no more subscriptions would be re- ceived, but that several bids were made. The refunding of the 5-20 bonds into four per cents has been going on since Secretary Boutwell was inthe Treasury. There was not unt!! Secretary Sherman essumed control of the finances any rapid progress made tn this direction. after January first last there was a decided Increase in the demand for four percents. The filling of this demand enabled the ‘Treasury department to rapidly call in the 5-20's. During the month of January there was calls to the amount ot 00,000. In February the calls were for $160,000,000, In March the bonds fell on the market to below par, which checked the demand for thei somewhat. the cepartinent called in $20,000,000. 5-2 ing that month. In addition to the subscrip- tlcns of yesterday the department had pre- sly Made acail for $10,000,000 during the present. month. Yesterday’s bond cali com- } 'd the refunding of the 1867's into four per cents. The conversion of the 1585's was com- eted In November last. To-day, a call 436,600, the total amount of the 186s’s, thus refunding that loan into four . at one transaction, Of $16.472,100 was registered, and pon. ‘The operations in the four 5-20's during the past six raonths, day’: transactions, effect a saving to the government in interest of over seven millions annually, the five-twentles, a six percent. bond, being con- verted ina bond bearing only four per cent. The bonds, the conversion of which was finally. to-day, were authorized by the act of March 30, 1: and issued in 1865, 1567, and ists. They drew six per cent. Interest and were redeemable tn five or twenty years after date of | issue, Of the co! of 186¢, there were issued 2,998,950; Of 1867's, $379,616,050, and of the | 1868's, $42,559,350, The only bonds now subject to call are the ten-forties, issued in 1864. They draw only tive per cent. interest. The amount of them out- Standing ts $194.566,300. ‘The length of the loan. {s ten or forty years. In 1870 the issue of re- funding bonds, bearing 4, 41; and 5 per cent. in- terest, was authorized. ' Under this act there have been issued $505.44 five per cents.; $20,000,000 ) Abd aDOUL $522,400,000 five per cents. In 188] the “six per cents. of 1851" will be re- dcemable. They amount to $75,000.00. ‘The five per cent. funded loan ts also redeemable in that year, At present the ten-forties are the cnly bonds redeemable. ‘Lhe Secretary of the Treasury is in no hurry to pay off the 10-40's, as it will be two years be- fore any other bonds are redeemabie, and as the smount they represent is comparatively small. If the four per cent. certificates are readily taken he will pay off by their sale the ten-forty bonds. but if not he wiilsell the four per cents +0 as to cover the interest maturing during the call. if Secretary Sherman should sell tour per cents to refund the 10-40's, under existing law, | the cost of the transaction would make quite a hole in the saving to be effected thereby. A the law now stands settlements for four per cents are mace every ninety days. The inter- est continues on the bonds until the ninety Gays|is'up. When the 5-20’s were being re- | Tunded, the two per cent. Interest difference be- | tween them and the4’s prevented the loss on the Blety days settlement plan being a very {m- portant figure In the conversion.

On Wednesday morning last a party of lady Copyists and others connected with the Corco- 1an Gallery of Art went to Baltimore by card invitation of W. T. Walters, esq., to visit his collection of art treasures, recently extended. ‘The paity, numbering twenty-flve persons, of whom eighteen were ladies, was in charge of Curator MacLeod, accompanied by Assistant Curetor Barbarin, Mr. E. F. Andrews, artist, who bas for two seasons gratuitousiy given his essfonal aid to the copyist essrs. Miller, et and Forsberg. ariists. The day was ntiful, and at 10 o'clock the visitors were re. ceived by attentive servants at Mr. Walters residence, 65 Mt Vernon Place. ‘That gentle- man preferred being absent, but devolved the Guties of “host and principal” upon Mr. Mac- cd. The entire house was given up to the rty for the whole day, all other visitors being excluded. so that there should be no interrup- ton to the free enjoyment of his quests. THE WALTERS’ MANSION. After surveying the sumptuous elegance of the parlors, wherein the mere upholsterer’s art Was notably subordinate to the pictures, bronzes, and cabinets of exquisite Venitan glass, Sevres and Vienna porcelain, the visitors ascended to the famous Marie Antoinette room, in the third story, fitted up with veritable fur- niture of the time of Louis '—all its biue dra- perles and hangings belng’ of courtly elegance in shape and style; thence to the no lessfamou3 Dutch Chamber, with its solid bedstead, carved press, old clock, pictures, huge brass-bound chest, and Delft porcelain, all genuine Daten furniture of the sixteenth’ century—a strange antithesis to the couttly style of the Freach rooms. So complete are the appointments of these rooms, that one might well imagine Marie ntoinette radiant In youthful beauty and regal dress, encountering On the stair a burly Burgo- master and his fat vrow in black garb and square Cut collars. The Chinese and Japanese rooms are part of the novelties of Mr. Waiters’ collection, containing every conceivable type of the bronzes and porcelains of those countries; some of them covering a space of 00 years. Mr. Walters is preparing a full catalogue of tiese. that will add materially to the interest of an examination. THE PICTURE GALLERY. The visitors were naturally more attracted by the picture gallery, containing about one hundred and fifty pictures, chiefly of the French £chool, from Schefier, Horace Vernet and Dela- ‘down to the latest gems of Metssouler. taille, Gerome, Jules Breton, Mills Neuville, Troyon, Knaus, Fortuny, Von Marke, tico,and others are also represented, while a no- ble landscape by Durand, Rerobrandt-lixe head T Eliott by himself, and other American exas , Are not at all unworthy of being al € foreign list. There is not_an indifferen picture in the whole collection. It is essentially an eclectic one, in which for thirty years its owner has gradually replaced inferior works With the best exampies of current art. ‘There is one pieture, however, not of the nlghest orier, that has withstood all changes, because it Mr. Waliers’ first love—the first picture he ev bought—“The Ketreat from Moscow,” showing long train of the French army hurrying Show-covered plains, headed by Napoleon. What a treat for the visitors it was to surrey this, the choleest collection of pictures in any American private gallery! THREE FAMOUS PICTURES. To most of them all were new, but their Interest settled down upon the late additions and th “T would select from that proud throng” that contend for supremacy. The “Potato Harvest,” by Millet, represents a man pouring a basket of potatoes Into a sack held by a woman: other peasants digging in the dis- tance. The principal figure ts relieved agains scowling clouds, whose trailing skirts sweep over the fading light of a rosy sunset. Tue leeling of this picture is sad and solema. It 1s regarded by maby as the gem of the gallery. Its rival is “ The Close of Day,” by Jules Breton, showing another group of toliers, but at rest; two women standing in the soft sunset, leaning with folded robust arms upon their implements, and looking thoughtfully far away. Beauty’s Stamp Is not on their faces, but there is. a pen- sive dignity in these sturdy peasants, illumined by the setting sun. It was sald of this impres- sive work that one could almost hear the dis- tant curfew—* the knell of parting day.” Tne third competitor for tie palin of supremacy is “Dut Pies,” by Knaus, of Berlin, It shows a sloping hillsige, on which a peasant herds a lot of starved pigs, the leanest kine Imaginabie ; 1a We foreground les the trunk of a large tree on which a jot of merry girls anda boy are making Git pies. Another boy cills to ikem to take the “pile” he has collected; on> Mie girl stooping buries her hands in the mud. and aLotber is hurrying off with ber!owd. ‘The childien, though rustic, are all beautifal, and the'r happy gleesome group isa strange contrast with the starved pigs and peasant beyond Anctier noveity excited particular interest the ladies—Boughton’s “Wane cf the Hone! mvcn.” A young married couple in the dress of sixty years siuce, seaied back to back on op- site sides of acircular stone seat around a large tree in the centre of the foreground. The husband, in tasselied high boots, with his bead buried in the cravat of the period, is absorbed in a beck, while he caresses his dog’s ear, aud not the tresses of the young wife, who, equipped tor a walk, looks sadly before her—not at him. Beyond, two diverging roads or lanes receding further and further from each other, are pro- toes of their future separate journeys through le! It 1s Impossible to note others of the new ptc- tures or allude particularly to the crayon- drawings and water colors of the inner room. As an evidence of how Mr. Walters keeps on sOrioy te his collection, there ts on the floor a Bew Rico—a view of Venice, realistic but charming in itssky and water, that has been bought since the pte Hd the gallery a month ago. and now awaits hanging. ANOTHER PLEASANT FRATURE OF THE DAY. After careful study for hours of these pic- tures the party partook of an elegant repast, comfortably seated at the board, Mr. MacLeci eee at the request of Mr. Wal- ters. It 1s but just to say that the creature comforts were served in a style corresponding with the art-treasures of the gallery, and were pleasantly accompanied with the rarest vin- tage of the French school. Suitable toasts were ven to their absent host, to Mr. corcoran, the ladies and others. The ladies were then given each a handsome bouquet from tie floral orn- aments of the table—all from Mr. Walters’ country seat, and leaving a written expression of thanks to Mr. Walters, whose presence was alone wanting to complete thetr enjoyment, {, and after spending nearly an bour in the Art Loan Gallery, returned to Washington by the 3:15 p.m. train, not one in- ue having occurred to mar the pleasure of the day, District Government Affairs.

THE CONTRACT for the construction of the new Intereepting sewer on New York avenue has not yet been awarded by the District Commissioners. The committee on bids have a schedule made and report that Mr. Kelley, the lowest bidder, having heretofore failed in carrylag out his contracts with the Commissioners, they, there- fore, recommend that the work be given to B. J. Coyle & Co., the next lowest bidder. The Commissioners have the matter under advise- ment for certain information, and it 1s probable that the award will not be made fur several days. BIDS WERE OPENED TO-DAY in the office of Chiet Engineer Hoxie for fur- nishing the corner street ips with signs des- ignating the streets, &c., each bidder furnishing Lis own design.

THE SENATE was not in session to-day. HOUSE.—The House met a’ 11 o'clock tn con- Unuance of Friday’s session, and immediately went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer in the chair) on the army appropriation bill. ‘The pending amendment ts as foliows: “Provided, That nothing in this section as amended shall be held or deemed t9 abridze or affect the duty or power of the President, of the United States under section 5,297 of the Revised States, enacted under, and to enable the United States to comply with, section 4, article 4, of tue constitution, on application of the legtstature or «xecutive, as provided for in said section.” Mr. Reagan opposed the amendment as being entirely unnecessary, Mr. Sparks denied that the Neier lezisla tion was a coercion of Sthe action of the Presi dent. He did not say What Congress would do in case the President vetoed the bill. But he believed that in this ealar case, Congress should say to the dent, “if you do no} Want this law wedo not, we have the consti tutional power to let it alone, and as you have chesen to arrest ft let the subject drop.” But the President would say, “( men, this will not do, I must have this law. Yell, why not take it and make it effective?’ Because it hi some provisions in it objectionable to me. “What do you propose to do?” “I propose you shall pass a law not objectionable to me.” Where was the coercion there? If the President, had the power to prescribe the character of legislation that Congress should enact, was not that a coercion of Congress? If any atiempts had been made to coerce the President they had been made by the stalwart members of the arty that had elected him. He read from the Chicago Inter-Ocran an article to the effect that President Hayes was in sympathy with bis party, but t if he yielded to the Gemands of the democrats he would bo longer be looked upon as a re- pubilean President. Was not that an effort 10 force the President into the extrene mea- sures of the extreme wing of his pariy? He also read from the /nfer-Occan an extract to the effect that the republicans were trying tostif_en the backbone of the President. Tt was feared that he did not have enough backbone. That was wi ere the coercion came in, and not from ihe action ef Congress in attempting to pass Jaws in a constituttonal manner. He read fro-:n the Inter-Ocean the heading in regard to ti lete election in Chicago, which was “Victory for the Democrats and the Howling Rebels.” In Chicage! [Laughter on the democratic sice) They had said to the President, “Oars is the stronghold of republicanism. We Lave no democratic Representative in the popular branch; all our Representatives in that body are stalwart republicans.” The election iad come on and the victory had been gained by “the democrats and howitng rebels.” Car- ter Harrison—our own Cai has obtained the majority of over 4,000 in icago. In that locality, where the republicans wanted to suffen the backbone of his excellency, the re- sult had tndicated that instead of puttfag ram- reds into his backbone it had taken ail vie Marrow and stiffuess out of their own {Laughter on the democratic side} Here Was the issue of the democrats, and they Went to the country upon it. Tne issue was whether or not in this country, unis free country, this great republic, the armned soldiers, the paid servants of the sov- ereigh people, were to come to the to drive the sovereign people away. That was the issue. The election in Chicago had been the first popular response, and from a republican city it bad been startling in its cluaracter. Gentlemen, (be said, addressing the*republican side:) You make the issue, we go to tue coun- try upon it, we mean to stand upon It: we kuow that Unis sovereign power that stands behind us stands behind you, and to tt Pre-ideut and gov- ernors and Congress must all yield, and the sovereign people we know are with us. Mr. Caswell inquired whether the state of Wisconsin had not shown an increased repub- Nea majority of 6.600 votes. Mr. Sparks replied that Wisconsin was hard- ly impcrtant enough to consider; he was talk- = it the republican elty of Chicago. Mr. Casweil inquired whether his friend did net recognize that the greenbackers had helped the democrats carry the election at Chicago. Mr. Brezg, in answer to the first question of his ccliesgue, said that the judge of the su- Preme court who had been elected in Wiscon- sin by 10.000 majority, had not been the nomi- hee Of the republican party, but thatevery re- publican newspaper in the state had discarded the idea that there should beany politics in the elect'on, and the members of the belongiag to the democratic parity had Soy Dian.
