GovERNMENT REcEIPTS To-paY.—Internal rev- enue, $336,455.16; customs, $339,339.32, ‘Tue Accounts of Minister Seward are “hung up” in the Treasary department. By A LATE ORDER of the Secretary of War, the Rev. Dr. Willis is stationed in Atlanta, Ga., to perform duty at McPherson barracks till April 1st, 1881, when he will proceed to join his station, fn the Department of Columbia. THE SENATE Exopts ComMITTEE yesterday ex- amined John H. Johnson, secretary of the col- ored refugees board of St. Louls, Mo. Mr. John- son explained at length the epieoe of the board; which was to enecurage Ea ration from the south by assisting fore their arri- Val at St. Louis. The s weauiments of colored emi- grants generally was that they were done with the south, as they had nothing to encourage them to live there and everything tocause them to leave. CONFIRMATIONS AND REJECTIONS.—The Senate remained In executive session nearly three and a half hours yesterday afternoon, and devoted most of that time to the further discussion of the long-pending case of the Rev. Thomas J. Simmons, nominated as census supervisor for the first’ district of Georgia. Messrs. Hill, Cameron (Wis.) and Morrill advocated his con- firmation, and Messrs. Gordon, Morgan and Pendleton opposed it. The nomination was finally rejected by a vote of yeas 10, nays 29. ‘The other rejections of census Supervisors yes- terday—those of George W. Atherton, second district of New Jersey; Elias ©. Doremus, first district of New Jersey, and B. F. Jaubert, first district of Loutsiana—were effected by strict party votes and after very little discussion con- cerning them; the majority basing its action upon the same ground that. was taken fo the Ohio cases, viz., that the appotatments in question should have been e a mocracy in order to comply with, the nom san spirit of the census law. The Senate firmed the nominations of Wm. H. Daniels to be collector of customs for the district, of Oswe- gatchie, N, Y¥., and two country postmasters. ‘TUE WASHBURNE-DONNELLY CasE.—The mi- nority report in the contested election case of Donnelly vs. Washburne (Minn.) was received from the printer: yesterday and placed in the hands of the committee. A final vote will prob- ably be taken by the committee next. Tuesday. ‘The minority report cites the fact that the re- turned vote gave a majority, of 3,013 for Mr. Washburne; that the disirict was created by act of the legislature of Minnesota, February 22, 1572, and has always been republican by a large majority. The report impeaches the character of the testimony relied on by the majority, and especially in regard to alleged briberies ‘It is held that very little of It rises even tothe dignity of hearsay evidence. MR. SPRINGER JUBILANT.— Representative Springer, of Mlinois, is jubilant over the pas- sage by the House yesterday of the amendment to the federal election laws. He says of it: “This isthe greatest victory for the democrats we have yet won. We have regained all we lost by the extra session, and a great deal more; we don’t want any more riders now. The republi- cans are completely demoralized, and don’t know what todo. It isa sad blow to the Grant boom, too, because there can be no more talk about democrats nullifying the laws. Under this amendment the court must Sppoint the election marshals, and they must be taken from the different political pai arties, That will pre- vent a partisan use of the laws, and it puts the democrats in a strong position before the coun- ty. We haye the republicans in full retreat. aud they are blaming Garfield for his bad man- agement of the matter. We (the democrats) have got all we want no) Mr. Herp Nor Jusitanr.— Representative Hurd, of Ohio, takes a very different view of the matter from that entertained by Mr, Springer upon the election law amendment. He said to a Srar reporter to-day: “The amend- ment originated with Garfield, and it was sprung upon the House, apparently without any previous consideratior. The democrats wn voted for it will regret their action. With ‘d to these election laws the democrats hed en two positions. First, that they wouid never vote a dollar to enforce them and second that the laws were unconstitutional. We pianted ourselves firmly upon these proposi- Hons at the extrasession. Nothing has occurred since to cause any change of these views ex- cept_a decision rendered by the Supreme court that the laws are constitutional. Now that decision Is binding only upon the {inferior courts of the judicial ern itis not bind- ing upon Cor: We are a cc-ordinate branch of the government and have the right to determine for ourselves what is constitu- tional. If we had maintained our position and refused to vote any money to enforce these laws, we would not only have preserved our consistency but would have prevented the ex- ecution of the laws. It is the power of the ruling party to pay political strikers with gov- ernment money that does the harm, and by re- fusing to appropriate the money we could have prevented the appointment of election mar- shals. This ‘amend ent does not strike at the root of the evil at all. The laws are as objec- Uonable as ever. The amendment does not restrict the number of deputy marshals or their power to do partisan work. The demo- crats have surrendered, and for what? Why for half the marshals appointed to interfere with elections, and, if democrats are appointed at all—which I doubt—they will not be such demo- crats as we want, but men who will work for the republican party for five dollarsa day. The democrats have, by this amendment, recognized the law—tor they voted money to pay marshals employed last year in Californfaand. have made it Uabaraere with all its evils. I am sor- ry now that I did’not speak against It. Had Blackburn, Knott and myself presented our reasons for voting against It we might have de- feated it. As it !s, our only hope is that it will be beaten in the Senate. ‘THE IMMEDIATE DEFicrgncy Bu1.—The House late yesterday afternoon passed the immediate deficiency appropriation bill. The item with reference to special deputy marshals, which led to a heated political del was passed, by pro- viding the appropriation of $7,600, and restrict- ing. the appointment of such officers hereafter che judges of district and circuit courts, to be appolti equally between the parties, and to be of good moral character, This amanamont accepted by the democrats was the \dment offered by Gen. Garfield, and which was men- tioned yesterday by the democrats as the Gai field compromise. The bill will be sent to the Senate on Monday, and the consideration promises to evoke a Teated sectional devate. for the reason that the stalwart republican Sena. tors declare that to pass the bill with the mar- shals amendment as the deinocrats have fixed {t will be to practically jeld all that was contended for yy the republicans at the special scssion of Congres. In view of the likelihood that the bill will be subjected to Jenguneney debate, the House yesterday bill_to anticipate $10,000 of the $400,000 appropriaon for the pub- lie printer, so that the employe és fe oe Government Printing Office work without waiting une ane ifiictans Ce nen making party cap! nis latter i will, “y the Carer undoubtedly, on Monday, ore the Public Printer in that event will restime work on Tuesday.

THE Ure Wrrsesses Nox-CommirraL.—The House committee on Indian affairs resumed the examination of Ouray yesterday, but failed to information in regard the Meeker mas- i i : Pe d He oy aecs ire Fisee | Restored Army Officers. | TWO OF THEM IN TROUBLE. The history of army officers who have been ; dismissed the service and restored again by act | of Congress, 1s not calculated to commend to | popular favor the interposition of special legis- | lation by Congress in such a THE CASE OF CAPT. Captain George A. Armes, ‘how of the 10: | eavalry, was dismissed the service June s, 1870. | He began a fight for restoration, and his caze sctravied ‘unusual, Attent on. He was | finally successful a was passed ongre:s restoring him to bis rank and pine 0 ‘on the list where he would have been by the regular order of _ promotion 1 maae he never been dismissed. He oo se His restoration was dated Slay ith, 1878. rae Was ed to duty at Fort Clark, Texas, commanding Company L, of the 10th cavalry. ‘This regiment ts colored. eg rd were some time ago ago preferred against, he was tried by coi le was tniea fo ior brutal and inhuman treatment of hismen. Va- rious individual cases of cruelty werecited. He would order his men to duty when the surgeon said they were unfit and should be in the hospi- tal, Great euro was caused by his action, it was charged. The court found him gullty and sentenced him to dismissal from tke service. The President of the United States now has the case underconsideration. Since bis trial and conviction Capt. Armes has had further charges preferred against him. He was a native of Virginia and a resident of this city, where he staid while making his long nent for restoration. When he left here to join his * he took with him a female servant. One of the charges preferred against him since the court- martial ts of brutally beating her. The friends of Armes are making an effort to induce the President, to disapprove the sentence of the court. They will not, it is understood, succeed. They say that when Armes went back into the service his brother officers openly threatened to get him out again, and that the charges against a were preterred and acted on witb this view alone. THE CASE OF LT. CLARKE. Another case of a restored officer who Is in trouble is Second Lieutenant Edwin R. Clarke, of the 10th infantry. He was dismissed the ser- vice July 12th, 1876. He is a Massachusetts man. The delegation from that state got a bill through Congress restoring him; he was again an ofticer on June 19th, 1879. Charges have been preferred against him of various misdemeanors and a court-martial bas found him guilty, with a re- commendation for dismissal. The President hi not acted on the findings and sentence of the court. ‘There will be music in the Senate over the defictency bili which yesterday passed the House. The repub- liean Senators intend to fight it as bitterly as they did the repeal of the election laws in the extra session. Messrs. Conkling and Carpenter will come to the front and make opposition to the bill a party question. It is rumored that they will not be able to command entire party support in the Senate, because of a suspicion that their purpose in talkin ig, the lead 1s to engt- neer the debate so as to help a certain presiden- tial candidate. While the vote in the House upon the pasSage of the bill was notstrictly par- san, it is regarded a8 a party measure. Field’ and Butterworth were the only republi- cans who voted for at while six democrats— Blackburn, Hooker, Hood, McKenzie, Smith and Turner—voted against it. In committee of the whole a number of SU yere Tepublicans, such as Gartield, Hiscock, Kelley and Rice voted for the measure; but they voted no on its final pas- sage, an indication that the republicans had de- termined to fight the bill. Should the republi- can Senators come up solidly in opposition to it there is a strong probability of its being vetoed. At any rate, there will be a heated political dis- cussion over it in the Senate, which will revive some of the memories of the extra session. The bill cannot very weil come up in the Senate be- fore Wednesday, as it must first be acted on by the committee on apprepeiauions. There isa disposition on both sides, however, to bring it forward as soon as practicable, and it will no doubt be taken up early next week. LANDS IN INDIAN TERRITORY.—In response to the Senate resolution of the 11th instant (offered by Mr. Cockrell) calling for information as to all applications made by railroad companies or corporations for lands "in the Indian territory and the Interior department’s action thereon, and for certified copies of all patents Issued to Indians tribes in ny Pride Secretary Schurz yesterday transmit to the ‘Senate o @ report from the Commissioner of the General Land Ofiice, enclosing exemplifications from the records of three patents issued, respectively, to the Cherokee Nation in 1838, to the Choctaw Nation in 1849, and to the Creek Nation in 1s52, and says: Relative to that portion of the reso- lution which calls for copies of “each and all peter filed in said department by any and i railroad companies and corporations claim- ng land in said Indian territory under acts of Congress or one authority, together with the full action and proceedin; department thereon,” Commissioner Williamson reports that “no applications of the nature stated are on the files of this office.” He says that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway company formerly the Union Pacific railway company, sout branch,) have filed maps of definite jocation, main line, from the northern to the southern boundary of the territory, and for a branch line from a point on the main line to Fort Smith, Arkansas. No action has ever been taken on said maps. The Atlantic and Pacific railroad company (now the St. Louts and San Francisco railway company) have filed maps of definite lo- cation of its main line of route from the eastern to the western boundary, and of a branch line, No action has been taken thereon. There is on file a letter from the puttetrnls General, dated September 5, 1877, transmit tition of the against the tates for mages, a from the ‘atlure of the United States to ex tinguish the Tndlan title to lands along the com- paby’s road in the said territory, etc. Commis- sioner Witiamson holds that the claim of the AUlantic and Pacific railway company to have the lands along their line through the Indian territory surveyed and patented to them under the act ok July 27, 1866, is without foundation or warran' SECRETARY SHERMAN and United States Treas- urer Gilfillan appeared before the House com- mittee on coinage, weights and measure to-day, in response to an invitation of the committee to furnish information relative to the all con- nection of the sub-treasury at New York with the New York clearing house, and in regard to the measures to be taken to facilitate a reflux of the subsidiary silver coin from the Treasury into the channels of circulation. In the absence of Mr. Stephens, of Georgla, (the chairman of the committee,) the work of interviewing was carried on principally by Mr.Warner, of Ohio. A COUNTY Wrrnovr OFFICE SEEKERS.—In THE Stak last Saturday mention was made of the fact that nobody wanted to hold office in Charl- ton county, Georgia, and that the census super- visor for that district, being unable to get two men to act as enumerators, had written to Rep- resentative Nicholls asking him to use his influ- ence to fill the positions. is was an unfortu- nate publication for Mr. Nicholls, The able- bodied democrats around here who are out of work to call on him Monday morning by the bright light. They had seen THE Star, and came to offer themselves to the service of the country. They kept coming until yesterday. ‘Mr. Nicholls informed them that he would ey to get two Charlton county men to do the cen- sus counting, and would not resort to the im- tation OL = talent unless compelled to. it might be stated for the benefit of the army of the unemployed that the one have at last ‘been filled by two natives.

The reunion of the Unity Club at the resi- dence of Dr. R. A. Bacon, on 434 street, last eve- ning, was a most delightful occasion. Every suitable arrangement was made by the host and his wife for the social entertainment of their guests, who were both numerous and charming, and the program of the evening was so varied that it contributed in some way to the pleasure of every one present. It consisted of an essay a “History as a Science,” by Mr. Wm. Brackett, by the Misses Crawford and Mr. F. B. Tray ylor, instrumental music by Mrs. Dr. Bacon, ue Dr. Brackett and Miss Blandin, of Chicago, and recitations by little Miss Spalding, ig. Dr. White and Mr. D. W. Bangs. During the inter- vals, even up to social enjoyment the guests reat mired the collection of paint- ings adorning the walls, which,with two excep- Uons, are all the production of Mrs. Bacon, and all show much talent and fine feeling. I rt. Smith, the president of the club, and fs the secretary, were warmly congratulated by ae its membeis, and thanks were formally voted Dr. and Mrs. Bacon and those who had contrib. uted by their several efforts to the pleasure of the evening.

The liberals seem more active and confident, and their or- gans are freely predicting an overwhelming victory. Mr. Gladstone's speeches alone occupy more space in the newspapers than those of ail the other candidates together. Thus far his speeches follow the lines of his previous utter- ances on questions of policy the only remar! able development being a bitter pronunciation of Austria tn his first speech, at Edinburgh. A Vienna correspondent reported that the Hm. ror of la had to be Sir Henry G. Eliot, ritish Ambassador, at Vienna; that as Mr. Gladstone disapproved of Ausiria’s foreign policy, the Emperor hoped Lord Beaconsfield would be euceesstal in the coming elections. Mr. Gladstone after reading this statement said if the electors approved of Austria’s foreign policy he would advise them to vote for the retention of Lord Beaconsfield’s ministi y. Austria he said has ever been the untlinching enemy of freedom in every country of Europe, and there ig not a spot on the whole mass where one could place his finger and say “There Austria did good” With much more to the same purpose Right Hon. Jno. Bright, speaking at Birmingham yesterday, said “We are at this moment witnessing the dying hours of the worst of modern partisans and beholding the spectacle of the worst of ‘administrations brought up for judgment.” ‘The conservatives conduct the campai; quietly but every doubtful seat will tested to the bitter end. ANCIENT NIC EMBLEMS. More Important Discoveries in Egypt. New York, March 20.—A special from Paris gives on autlority of a Cairo correspondent the following: Interesting and important as were the discoveries of Commander Gorringe and Dr. Fanton, they were not exhaustive, and the mn more con- practised eye of another distinguished Masonic dignatary has just detected an additional series of emblems of a value and significance far and more unquestionable than those previously reported. Mr. S. A, Zola, grand commander and president of the Scotch Ancient and Ac- cepted Masonic Rite for it, and yptian ex-grand master of symbolic Masonry, just examined the foundations of the Alexandrian obelisk, and has discovered another series of stones,” which not only bear all the exist Masonic emblems, but furnish the key, whic! has hitherto been lackin; ng. to explain the entire dimensions and proportions of what proves to have been an elaborate Masonic edifice ets | the obelisk itself, the pedestal,the stair case, ani the hidden foundations. Mr. Zola professes to te able by this discovery to throw a vivid light m the ancient tian nee symbolism, nt itherto so energetit yuted by many sa- vans,and it is expected thatth the publication ofhis detailed drawings will finally settle more than one of the problems which lie at the very found- ation, not only of Masonry but of the ob- scure and onieated religious system of the early Egyptian: SS The University Boat Rac: Loxpon, March 20.—The University boat race bas been pees on ‘until 10:30 Monday morning on account of the fog that prevailed at the time Set for the race to be rowed this morning.
