Mr. G. W. Morse, a resident of Washington, testified that he was an oid friend of Mr. Spofford’s, and for this reason Interested himself in Spofford’s case, and-had employed Elder to go to New Orleans to secure testimony, that he had done this in opposition to Mr. Spofford’s wishes and unbe- krowr to Spofford. He testified that he had pald Elder $200 to be used on expense account n procuring testimony in the case, and that he k particu ains to say to Elder that no Witnesses shoul be brought, and that all testi- mony obtained must be free from taint. Mr. Cavannac testified that Elder told him in New Orleans that he had not been sent there by Spot- ford, but Cae other parties.

As so many were weary from attending the numerous entertainments Wedneggay, the rain offered a good excuse for resting yesterday, and there was little visiting done in the afternoon. ‘The state dinners given at the White House this year, the second of which occurred lasteve- ning, are pronounced more than usually hand- some in their decorations and excellent in their ménu. The entire first ee of the mansion was | open last evening, and the guests assembled just before seven in the Blue Parlor. The Pres- ident_ escorted Mrs. Evarts t to the dining room and Mrs. Hayes followed with the Vice Presi- dent. The others who sat around the table were:—Secretary Evaris, Secretary and Mrs. Sherman, Sceretary and’ Miss Schurz, Senator and Mrs. Morri'l, Senator and Mrs. Logan. § Sena- tor and Mrs. Gordon, Senator and Mrs. Allison, Senator and Mrs. Randolph, Senator Burnside, Schator ‘and Miss Hoar, Senator and Mrs. Wil: liams, and the following members of the House, ail of whom save Mr. Speer, who Is unmarried, were accompanied by their wives:—Messrs. Frye, Tucker, Carlisle, Davis, Hiscock, McKin- ley and Speer. The Marine Band was in the wide entrance hall, and played during the re- past. The guests promenaded in the East room and visited the conservatories after dinner, Last eveniug Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Steele gave asmall! party in honor of Secretary and ‘Mis. Ramsey. Many of those who were on intimate terms with them when he was in the Senate were present. When General and Mrs. Grant were here a lady mentioned to them the newspaper rumor that Queen Victoria had presented their daugh- ter, Mrs. Sartoris, with her miniature set ia diamonds, and they disavowed all knowledge of it, and expressed incredulity as to the truth of the rumor, saying that since her marriage Mrs. Sartorls had never been presented at court. AS the wife of a British subject, and one who does not, belong to the nobility, Mrs. Sartoris ts not entitled toa presentation at court.

It is susceptible of no intelligent anal, and Chairman Buckner probably right in his conclusion that it means ax. emphatic declaration on the part of the iouse that a great majority of the members want to “let well enough alone.” WHERE SCHAGHTICOKE IS—Editor Siar:—1 was quite amused to see in THE SraR of this date Pfeiffer's indignation to think the Post Office department should say there was no such Gflice in their records as Schaghticoke. ‘To my certain knowledge thelr is a large town in Rensselaer county, N: by that name, About ten milestrom ‘Troy, and also nas a lar se manufacturing Village by'that name, and the thought struck me, was it so poor a place that it did not have a post office in it.

Gen, Brady was further eee relative to the Santa Fe and Prescott route, and was followed by Messrs. McDonough, the cor- tractor, and Gleason, one of the sureties. The testimony of the last two was mainly relative to the equities and complications between parties Interested In the contract. The inv tigation will probably be resumed to-morrow, and Mr. Walso, the sub contractor, will be put upon the stand. THE INCREASE OF PgNSION BUsINEss.—The House to-day agreed to a resolution allowing the committee on invalid pensions three addi- tional clerks at $5 per day each. It was stated by members of the invalid pension committee that over fourteen hundred pension cases were pending before the committee, and unless the clerical assistance asked for was granted {t would be impossible to get through with the business pending before the committee. Rep- resentative White, of Pennsylvania, tried to get in an amendment incre: ie clerk Taree inthe Pension office.

The reso- lution was referred to the District. Commission- ers for their recommendation in the premises. The members of the District of Columbia committee to-day, accompanied by the District Commissioners, made a tour of inspection of the water front. Chairman Hunton says that he deems the reclamation of the Potomac river flats the most important matter, after the revision of the municipal code, now'pending before the District committee, and he will labor diligently to have the Som nt Congress provide an appro- pation for their reclamation and the general improvement of the river front. \e adverse report of the committee on claims for the relief of the meer panies police force or the District was made in the House to-day, at ‘was ordered to le on the table. This kills the proposition. ‘The House judiciary committee has agreed to port a bill’ providing that no person shall serve on any petit jury in the courts’ of the nited States more than four weeks continu- ously. This will, if it becomes a law, break up the professional jury system, which is fast growing wp. ‘The provisions of the bill are ap- plicable to the courts in the District of Co- Jumbia.

THE 0 STREET MARKET. The same delegation of citizens from the northern portion of the city who were before the District Commissioners Wednesday on the 0 : t house question; was again at the office of the Commissioners yesterday, Mr. Jesse B. Wilson led off on the subject, and repeated about the same arguments before the whole board as had been done on Wednesday before Commissioner Dent and Major Twining. Major ‘Twining remarked that he had come to the con- clusion that something of this kind was neces- sary in order to relieve the pressure of business from the Center Market and lessen the vast crowds about there on market days. Commis- missioner Dent repeated his objections against public market houses, and said he was will that a market house should be built on this square if the citizens iu that section thought it | necessary, but he was in favor of giving the franchise ‘to a private company, and accord to them the most liberal terms consistent with the rights of the District. He cited the advantages | of the Center Market plan of corporation and the Georgetown plan. Mr. Bonisuggested that a Dill be drawn up at once to present to Con- 8 authorizing the construction of a market and that the District Commissioners give it their endorsement, Commissioner Dent said that while he would not oppose such a bill if properly drawn, he could not give {this support. Commissioner Twining said he would recom- mend the market house on the understanding that {t will be bullt without cost to the District government. Commlssioner Morgan said he would co-operate with his colleague, Major in al } Twining, in the case, on the terms pro) posed.
