Stribling, U.S. N., who died at Martinsburg, West Va., a few days ago, took place in thiscity to-day.

Jenkins, John J. Almy and Fabius Stan- ly; Paymaster General George F. Cutter, Sur- Reon General Philip S. Wates, Captain Cc. H. vells, and Captain R. L. Law. Secretary ‘Thompson has issued a general order announc- ing the death of Rear Admiral Stribling on the 1ith instant. The order recites the career of this officer, who was born in South Carolina, Sept. 22d, 1796; entered the navy as a midshipman June isth, 1512, the date of the declaration o war by the United States with Great Britain served In that war, and participated in the Al- gerine captures in 1818, and while in command of a barge captured the piratical schooner Pilot after a runving fight off the coast of Cuba Although a native of South Carolina he r mained loyal tothe union during the rebellion. In 1864-65 he commanded the East Gult block: ding squadron. August 6th, 1866, he was mad: a rear admiral on the retired list. His service at Sea was over 26 years, and on shore nearly 22 years. ‘The Secretary ‘speaks in the highe terms of the deceased. The usual salutes and hoisting fags at half-mast are ordered. “ARMY ORDERS.—The following officers are relieved trom duty at the posts designated, and Will join their companies: Second Lieut. C.

Cleaver has reported his return home froma the European station, and Is placed on waiting orders. OBJECTIONS TO CONFIRMING SOME OF THE CENSUS SUPERVISORS.—The Senate, in acting upon nominations for census supervisors will, as a rule, be guided by tire wishes and opinions of the Senators from each state with regard to the confirmation for that state. Of course where there is a republican and a democratic Senater froma state the latter will have the reatest influence with the majority. But the lemocrats seem toconfirm the super- visors except in cases where they are considered. positively obiectionable use of partisai sbip. The objections 86 tar made gee to be against supervisors selected for nes — Ww charged, many “ol carpet-bag —_ politicians” have been a the preference. However, the Tennessee delegation seem to be satistied with the nominations for that state. The same is true of Missouri, Maryland and Virginia. The Georgia and Alabama nominations are satis- factory with one exception; but, in Mississippi, two are marked for rejection. The indications are that out of the 150 nominations for census supervisors about 20 will be objected to by the Senate. It is quite probable, iuough, that some Lrg poet nt Will be reached between the Secretary 01 the Interior and the President on the one side, and democratic Congressmen on the other, for the withdrawal of objectiona- ble names and the substitution of others that will be satisfactory, So far Secretary Schurz has shown a disposition to deal very fairly with the democrats some of the latter say, and, in the end, it is quite likely that the list of nomi- nations will be so made up as to give sastisfac- =. It, pss) the — pelos Lae sisted upon by the appointing power, then plain that some of them will'be rejected. SENATOR FERRY Is now haviag a Presidential boom.

REPRESENTATIVE Woop's REFUYDING BILL.— The ways and means committee of the House at their meeting this morning, resumed con- sideration of Representative Wood’s refunding bili. It Is learned that while two or three mem- did not take part in the discussion, those who did were unanimously in favor of as low a rate of interest as 33g per cent., two members of the committee even suggested that a 3 per cent. bond might be advisable. The only differ- ence of opinion upon the provisions of the bill, was as tothe policy of having the bonds run for so long a period as fifty years. Uj this point, however, the chairman feels quite -conti- dent there will be no serious difficulty, and that the committee will come to an early agreement, possibly at the next meeting of the committee on Thursday, NOMINATIONS.—The President sent the follow- ing nominations to the Senate this afternoon: To be postmasters, Henry W.

The official election returns were nowhere to be found, and It is conjectured they have been de- stroyed. The Republican Legislature. Boston, Jan. 20.—The Herald's Augusta spe- cial says: In the republican house this morn- ing a communication was received from Wallace R. White, of Winthrop, demanding an investi- ration of charges of bribery by the fusioni legislators. White states that he has been wa! ing for the organization of the legislature in der to present his demand. A special commit- tee will Investigate the case. Hion. Eugene Hale offered a resolution declar- Ing the state government fully established, and denouncing afl other bodies pretending to be parts of the state government aS unconstitu- lional. The Fusionists Stiffening Up. The events ot yesterday stiffened up the fusionist: k bone, and their legislature shows fe signs of decay than ever. This is a disappointment to the republicans, who have deen expecting from day to day that their rivals would become discouraged and gradually fall topieces. The refusal to admit members like Strickland, Knowles and others, of whose rights to seats there Is no doubt,’ when they went to the state house yesterday, has helped the fusionists. It was just such a step as Governor Smith and Mr. Pillsbury had hoped » would be taken. There had-been a strong ssibility before thai Senator Strickland, who | is alawyer, and has a lawyer's respect for the opinion of the Supreme court, would go into the republican legislature this’ week. But such were his feclings in being shut out from the state house yesterday that there is very little danger of his leaving the fusionists rank now. Looking at it this way, the affair at the state house was a great benefit to the fustonists, and the tone of their speeches this forenoon shows that their leaders recognize the fact, and are row more hopeful than for days. The Fusionist Legislature. The fusionist senate and the house was called to order at 10 o'clock. in Union Hall, in Water Street. In the house Mr. Dickey, of Fort Kent, moved that the committees appointed to recom- mend a course of action be also instructed to report, at 4p. m. to-day, on the proceedings of yesterday. He urged all members to stand firn as he had confidence that this body would be recognized as the legal legislature of Maine by the Courts as well as by Congress. In fact, he said he had an assurance to this effect. Doctor Bradbury said be did not quite like the attivude of some of tiié members, Who did not seem to have that determination and steadtast- ness necessary for carrying the case to a suc- cessful end. He hada firm faith that an authority other than a partisan supreme court would recognize this as a legal legislature, and he urged the appointment of committees,’ and the proceeding to regular business, just’ as it the usurping party had not prevented a meeting in the place in which this bod, was entitled to meet and_ sit. ly He read a tel from friends in Oxford, urging the fusionists to stand firm; to recognize no usurping legislature, and to stand by the legal governor, Smith, and money would be ready to sustain them to the last. This, he said, was but a sample of the messages which were coming trom all parts of the State, and showed how the ple of Maine were feelin: about the act of violence which was committe yesterday. He said nothing could have hap- pened better for the fusionist cause, for it has Strengthened, the weak and bound ail together in a t Mr. Swan followed in much the same strain. He went over the entire proceedings from elec- tion day until this morning, accusing the repub- licans of bribery and intimidation at the polls: of planning to get Che decision with the Supreme Court, and of usurping the depart- ments of the government elect. He directed the fusionists should say to the court, “Hands off, gentlemen. We will not be suppressed by partisan action; we will stand up for our rights and we will have them. The dark cloud of treason hangs over us. The capitol fs in the hands of rebels. Wehave right and justice on our side; if we stand firm victory will crown our efforts.” The motion of Mr. Dickey was carried and he then moved the appointment of a committee on pay-roll ind mileage of members. He said mahy members had come from long distances, were poor and needed money. If the state treasurer refused to acknowledge our right to draw funds for this purpose it will be provided for otherwise. » The order was adopted and the committee appointed by the Lae Mr. Staples fol- lowed, expressing satisfaction at the present attitude of this body. He compared the situa- tion of the tusionists to that of the Jews, as de- scribed in the Old Testament. Like the chosen people of God, he sald, wé are building a wall about our Jerusalem which no man can pull down. The republicans had invited him to come in, but, he said, Gentlemen, you have nothin; to come into; your legislature is like a hotel with no bed, no ene nothing to eat, nothing but asign.” His quaint remarks provoked a great amount of laughter and applause. The House, at 11:30 took a recess until 4 p. m. ———__ FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Death of Jules Favre.
