AT THE WuHITE Hovss.. nator Burnside and Representatives Barber, Boyt, Forsythe, Jones, MeKinley, Murch and Talbot called on ti President to-day. R. STOCKETT MATTHEWS NOMINATED FOR JUDGE OF THE MARYLAND DISTRICT.—The contest which has been going on for some time among Mary- land republicans over the vacant judgship, was. settled to-day. Maryland delezations for the ast three weeks have been the order of the y at the White House. There have been a many as four delegations a day there, each wanting a diferent successor to the late Judge Giles. They will probably leave off now until another change in Maryland federal offices oceurs. The President to-day, sent to the Senate the name of R. Stockett Matthews to be U. S. district judge for the district of Maryland. PUBLIC MONEY IN NaTIONAL BANKS.—The communication of the Secretary of the Treas- ury to the Senate concerning public moneys deposited with national banks since March 4, 18s7, shows that there are now 1: uch banks, a reduction of 2i since March, 1877; that public deposits are secured by a pledge of U. 8. bonds held by the U. 8. Treasurer, are paid out as the | Sete service may require, and are held by the apks at no expense to the government, and upon no terms except that they must be prov- erly secured and at all times subject to cail. ‘The largest balances are in New York, where the deposits during the past year averaged in five banks severally xrom $47,000 to $140,000. In Baltimore the First National bank averaged from $92,009 to $115,000; In Washington, the Na- tional Bank of the Republic $53,000 to $107,000, in Richmond, Va., First National $74,000 to $17,000, and Planters’ National $75,000 to $172,000; In Norfolk, Va., Exchange National $700,000 to $183,000. Ex-Gov. Tom Youne, M.C., got back from Cincinnati this morning, whither he went to vote. He is jubilant over the result of the elec- ton in that city. He says the democrats made a national issue in their platform and were beater, which means that a majority of tue people of Cincinnati endorse the republican position in op| the political lesislation which the democrats have attached as riders to the two appropriation bills. PERSONAL.—Col. Levi P. Luckey, who Is pleasantly remembered as private secretary of President Grant, and who lately resigned his secretaryship of the Territory of Utah, is in Washington, the guest of Col. Webster, Register of W:lls, 1731 F street. THE FOLLOWING Dacision of Comptroller Upton, of the Treasury department, has been received by Adjutant General Townsend: Re- ferring to the case of Charles H. Clay, late of company H, 24th infantry, who was turned over to the Mexican authorities December 4, 18€9, and convicted and imprisoned for crime, beirg subsequently discharged from service to date iber 4, 1869, and to your endorsement of February 13, 1378, upon a letter of said Clay, wherein you ask whether he “Is not entitled to pay aud allowance due at date his discharge takes effect, he which date he rendered ser- vice under contract of enlistment,” and whether the soldier, in all cases of this kind, should not be allowed pay up to date of his withdrawal from service, I have the honor to say that I have examined the papers of the claim filed by said Clay in the office of the sec- ond auditor, and have this day decided that the claim for arrears of pay due at date of with- drawal from service should not be disillowed merely because of conviction of crime by the civil authorities. Questions as to Clay’s right to Tet pay and traveling allowances have not yet been considered. SENTENCED.— Gunner Edward J. Waugh, U.S. N., was tried before a court-martial con- vened in New York January 30th last. Capt. D. L. Braine, U.S. N., was president of the court. Theft was the offence for which Gunner Weugh was tried. He was attached to the ordnance department of the Brooklyn (N.

Secre- proved the sentence of of the Navy has the and prison at Wether. ment. THE EicuT Hour Law.—Representative Murch, of Maine, has prepared and will intro- Guce in the house at the present session, if an opportunity offers, a bill providing that the construction placed i gd the act of June 25, 1863, (constituting eight hours a day’s work for all laborers, workmen and mechanics employed by oron fof the government,) should be carefully and impartially applied by this Con- gress to the case of all laborers, workmen, me- chanics, teamsters, watchmen and shipkeepers employed by or in behalf of the United States since the 25th day of June, 186s, and to ail such as nay be so employed hereafter. ‘THE ConTRact for the construction of the new addition to the Government Printing Ojlice for which bids were opened yesterday by the architect of the Capitol, will not be awarded until the lowest bidders give not only satistac- tory bonds that they can faithfully perform the work, but that they will pay the laboring men they employ to dot ; OF THE THREE NTERFEITERS arrested In Clarksburg, West Va., a short time ago, two to- day plead guilty, and the other was convicted. THE ScPREME Cock? will adjourn not later than May 12th next. The adjournment may be had before that date. Mr. Dysart, the assistant commisstoner to the Paris exposition, whose report was returned on account of its crudeness and want of finish, has written to tbe State department that the matter he forwarded was only a very rough out- Une of the report he intends to make. ‘THe Hovse COMMITTEE ON RULES met yes- terday afternoon for the purpose of considering the question which arose in the House yester- day morning regarding the recognition of mem- bes desirous of participating in general debate. It was decided that the custom of preparin; sts, which had for some time prevailed in suc! cases, is the most practicable, and the commit- tee will recommend its continuance, and that the Speaker. or chairman of the committee of the whole House on the state of the union, shall use his discretion in ing one of two or more members who shall attempt to address the House simultaneously. It was also to recommend the increase of membership on the judiciary committee from 11, as heretofore, 15. The committee, in addition to the above recommendations, will favor the moditication of rule 145 of the rules of the House, so as to re- quire a vote of at least three-fourths of the members present to suspend the rules instead of a twe-thirds Vote, as is now necessary. NAVAL ORDERS.—Passed Assistant Engineer R, W. Milligan from the Montauk and ordered to duty at the Naval Academy. Passed Assist- ant Engineer C. H. Greenleat from the Naval Academy and placed on waiting orders. ‘THE RECOMMENDATION of the academic board of the Military Academy, that a treatise on military law by Lieutenant Kk. A. Ives, be adopted as a text-book in the department of law, U. 8. Military Academy, has been ap- proved by the Secretary of War. ‘THE FOLLOWING Convictions have been made under the pension laws: In the U. 8. Court, the Connecticut state leld as the place of confine- Maseachusetts, Mary J. Thomy for making false amavite, four months’ imprisonment fn Boston jail, John He conspiracy to de- fraud by one sixty days’ imprisonment and $1,000 fine; in the U. 8. Court, yh Loe rman’ erage ear jerson, for affidavits, one in Erie county penite: yng for Tue REPOUT OF THE CoMMITTER ON RULES, | Which was presented to the House this morning by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, evoked consider- able discussion. The proposttion for the in- crease of the membership of the leading co n- | iittees was not the real bone of contantion, an 1 met with only a milk and water opposition. "The rule which was Feported requiring a threc- | fourths vote instead of a two-thirds vote to \ an appropriation bill, was the one which enlist | ed lively opposition. The milk in the cocoanut 1s just this :—The only appropriation bill which is rushed through by a two-thirds vote is the river and harbor bill. All other bills are open | fo discussion and amendment, and are passed | by a majority vote. Members who have rivers | apd lakes in their districts, and those who lay | off large amounts for imaginary streams, of | course opposed the proposed new rule, while those from the agricultural districts, who take more interest In “garden sass” than in naviga- tion, generally favored sustaining the report of the committee. Later—Voting on the Report—At three o'clock this afternoon the House adopted so much of | the report of the committee on rules as Tereases the membership of several of the leading committees. The rule, re- quiring a three-fouth vote to suspend the Tules to pass an appropriation il, was adopted on a rising vote by yeas 100 to nays 88, with an amendment, however, that the commit- tee on commerce be given the same right to re- Port at any time, as {s now given the appropri- ation committee. The yeasand nays were then demanded on the latter proposition, and at three o’clock the vote was in progress. A Cavcvs OF DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF THE Hovse will be held immediately after the ad- journment to-day, for the purpose of obtaining consent of a majority tp consider certain finan- clalmeasures during tfle present session of Con- gress, among which are the following:—To pro- vide for the issue of bullion certificates based on silver or gold. The substitution of green- backs for the national bank circulation, and to prohibit any further increase of the bonded gebt of the government. A petition was circulated yesterday by Mr. Kenna, of W. Va., requesting the call of a caucus for this purpose on Friday bext, but by common consent it will meet to- day. Hon. Alexander Stephens will submit a series of resolutions for action, embracing his views of the requirements of the country at large, and favoring the passage of certain financial measures with a view to affording relief to the poorer classes. ‘The resolutions will also deprecate the cry of revolution, and ask that all allusion to the late war for pollt- eal purposes shall cease.

Payments will not however, for some days. Owing to the number of applications to make cases special, it has been resolved that none shall be 80 treated. A LUNATIC IN THE HovUsE GALLERY.—When the debate on the resolution for a change of rules had progressed for about two hours to- day, an eccentric individual in the gallery, su] to be the same who had ser- monized on violation of the Sabbath at the last session, suddenly gave vent to his feelings by deciaiming, in a loud and solemn tone: «* Woe! woe! woe! to this den of thieves.” Be- fore he could get any farther in his denuncia- tion he was pounced upon by some of the door- peeners assistants and hustled out of the gal- ery. CHIEF Mosgs and his party arrived by the fast line train on the Pennsylvania road at 9 o'clock this morning, through from San Fran- cisco. They were at once taken to the Tremont House. The party includes the following Ree sons: . C. Conoyer, agent of the Umatillas, and daughter; Captain Boyle, John McBean, half-breed, interpreter for the government since 1855 and chief of scouts for Gen. Howard; Abe Lincoln, half-breed, assistant. interpreter; Moses, chief of Sinker House Indians, in- cluding the Okanadins; Jim, nephew of Moses; Howlish Wampo, chief of the Cayuse; Win- nipsnok, chief of the Umatillas; You Chief, a Cayuse chief; Umapine, a Cayuse, and Homil, chief of the Wallawall: Democratic House Caucus ON FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.—Representative Kenna, of West Virginia, has secured sixty signatures to a petl- uon asking the chairman of the democratic cau- cus to call a caucus for Friday evening, “with a view of providing by legislation, at the present ‘session, for the coinage of silver, the issue of bullion certificates based on either silver or gold, the substitution of greenbacks for the na- Uonal bank circulation, and the prohibition of any further increase of the bonded debt of the government.” Under the democratic rule ten Iuembers are a sufficient number to procure a call for a caucus. The indications are that a movement in the matter will be secured imme- diately on the announcement of the committees in thea direction of the financial legislation in- icated. ———re _ ELECTION RETURNS.— Cincinnati — Complete returns of the Cincinnati election give major: has.

SENATE.—Mr. Gordon introduce1 a bill to aid the Great Southern Railway company in its construction of a road through Georgia and Florida.

On motion of Mr. Voorhees, a resolution was adopted @irecting the Postmaster General to furnish to the Senate his reasons for diserimt nating postage rates in the transportation of newspapers through the mails.

Mr. Davis (Ill.) briefly addressed the Senate. He said that the Sepators from Georgia (Mr. Hill) and Wisconsin (Mr. Carpenter) had pre- sented the proper view of the Constitution as applicable to the pending case. He reviewed the precedents on similar CV ee | saying the rule in Tracy’s case was followed until 1825, when a different rule was adopted, from which it would not now be judicious to depart. He did not believe a vacancy had occurred in the con- stitutional sense which justified the governor in making a temporary appointment as no per- son had been elected by the legislature and served any part of the six years term, so as to make a vacancy by resignation or otherwise. HOUSE.—Mr. Stephens, from the committee on rules, submitted a report recommending the reappointment of select committees on the cen- sus, the yellow fever epidemic, the state of the law respecting the ascertatsment of the result of the election of President Vice President, civil service reform, the causes of the present hes of labor, and the ventilation of the hall. It also recommends the increase of the committee membership as follows: Enrolled bills to seven; coinage, weights, and measures to eleven; ways and means to thirteen; and agriculture, judiciary, elections, and commerce to fifteen each. 1t recommends, also, the adop- ton cf the following rule: Rule —. On @ motion to suspend the rules and pass general appropriation bills, an affirmative vote of three-quarters of the members present and voting shall be necessary. Mr. Blackburn, @ member of the committee on rules, did not approve all recommendations of that committee. He did not believe that the best way to relieve the appropriation commit- tee of the Superstar dance of labor devolved upon it, was to Increase its membership; but its work should be lessened by referring to other committees some of the general appropriation Mr. Mills op} onrules. He the report of the committee ad found that a smail committee could always get through its work quicker than a large committee could. Instead of increasing the membership of the committee on elections, he favored abo! that commilttee entirely, and referring each election case to a specti committee. In that way, the people of a dis- trict would not be misrepresent sometimes until the last day of a gga Sapend aman whom they had never elected. He opposed also the pro} ed newrule. It was an attempt to de- feat the river and harbor bill, which was a most important legislation. It was a proposition that one-fourth of the House could arrogate to itself the right to stop legislation. Mr. Kenna op; the proposed rule, which he characterized as an attempt to kill the river and harbor bill by the rules of the House; and be cflered an amendment, providing that the rule shod apply only to bills reported by the committee on appropriation. Mr. Blackburn opposed the amendment. He was heartily in favor of the proposed rule. It Wes pot intended to kill the river and harbor bill, bat 1t meant say that, if the committee on commerce endeavored to gag the House, and ass the bill without discussion or amendment, it oo to obtain. Re ie ES ir. Conger opposed the repo! seemed Plain to that the object of the new rule ‘was not almed at the river and harbor bill, I: might be that the House would be called upon to provide appropriations for the next fiscal year by the passage of a joint resolution under & suspension of the rules. When that time came there would be one-fourth of the members of the House that would oppose it, but that would Dot be one-third. The real motive which had eel oy the report of this rule was to preven two-thirds of the sober men of the House, 0 the men willing to prevent revolution, from passing an appro} ristion bill without political clauses. Where ‘been the republican mem- bers of the committee on rules when they had assented to such a proposition? — District Bills in the Senate. WATER SUPPLY AND WATER TAX. In the Senate to-day Mr. Rollins introduced a bill giving the District Commissioners the powers and subjecting them to the duties con- tained in chapter 8, of the Revised Statutes. It also provides that water main taxes shall be unifoim in the District, and that the rate of interest under section 202 of the Revised Stat- utes be increased to 10 percent. per an- num. The Secretary of the’ is author- ized to advance $25,000 for improvement of the water supply on Capitol Hill and other races of the city, ‘the advance ts to be repaid m the water rates as they are collected. BILL FOR BENEFIT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Mr. Harris introduced, by request, the House bill of last session for the benefit of the ublic schools. The bill gives the use of all and belonging to the United States, not now occupied or peso by the government, for the benefit of the public schools of the District. It also authorizes the Commissioners to pur- chase of the Washington ‘lum and health department the farm on the rn branch to which to transport the of the streets; alsoto employ the pauper and convict labor of the Asylum and the U. S. Jail in reclaiming for the use of the Asylum the marshes in front of reservation number 13, and to expend for that purpose $5,000. MR. CORNELIUS J.

Twenty-five Zulu corpses were found on the field of battle. Itis believed that many more were drowned. The Zulu’s had ample time to get news of the convoy, as it wasdelayed at the fort three days by heavy rains. The ford was only four miles from Luneburg. It is thought that there was great carelessness in selecting the position of the camp, and in neglecting to Send a larger force from Luneburg to meet the convoy. Col. Pearson Safe Yet. Col.
