DEATH OF THE OLDEST OFF Richards Van Voorhis, United States navy who died in this city yesterday, was the oldest o1n- cer in the navy, and no doubt under the employ of the government longer than any man at the | present date. He was the father-in-law of the Jate Fred. D. Stuart. His death was caused by paralysis of the throat. Mr. Van Voorhis was born in New York city in 1vs3, and was conwe- quently in his 9th year. He served an appren- ticeship with Geo. J. Warner, of that city, from 1799 to 1806. From 1509 to Isi3 he was employed as a journeyman sailmaker at the navy yard, New York. In 1si9 he took charge of that yard as master sallmaker, and continued in that po- sition till 1534, when, under Captain Ridgely, he received his present commission, which he held up to his death, making a total and continuous service under the government of seventy-one years. = LECTURES.

This was referred to the Attorney General for a decision. Sitting Bull again came ia for Cabinet consider- ation. Gen. Miles, who is here, has reported Secretary Ramsay that the Sitting Bull India who were reported some time ago as surrender- ing in large numbers, are not in fact doing so. Comparatively few have presented themselve: If the military authorities receive them taney will take them as prisouers of war; they will then have to be fed by the government. If they should come in large numbers they could not be fed. According to Gen. Miles, as stated. the Indians are “not so many in num- ber who want to surrender that they cannot be provided for. The report will be acted on in the manner indicated—such Indians as come in will be taken in and given food. ‘the West. Point outrage was also considered by the Cabinet. The Secretary of War had no new facts to report.

Prof. Riley, in pursuit of the investiga- tion he is makthg on behalf of the U. 8.

C. Hall and 25 other physictans, urging the immediate adoption of the joint resolution. The Senate agreed to take up the resolution, ond it was read. Senator Conkling said this resolution, in legalizing the ordinances would, at a rough guess, create about fifty or sixt penalties, and some of them very arbitrary. For instance, he read the ordinances in relatto1 towater. Hesaid, under that a well on a place could be summariiy condemned and a person fined for subsequently watering his horse out of it, Mr. Conkling read the ordinance to sup- press the alianthus tree, and said that in the option of many persons it was not offensive.

Mr. Bayard, also from the same committee, reported adversely on Senate bill 98, Introduced by Mr. Garland, providing for a commission of three members ot each house and three outside persons to consider the revision of the tariff, and it was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Conkling presented the proceedings and resolutions of the repubiican association of the th assembly district of the city of New York, alling attention to the precarious and danger- ous condition of the provisions touching the counting of the electoral vote, and asking that action may be taken on the subject betore the expiration of the present session of Congres Aceferred to the select committee on the subject THE WEALTH LAWS OF THE DISTRICT.

There were cloak rooms, where atte live servants checked the wraps. ‘The rooms in which the works of art were shown were com- pletely lined with pictures, which were arranged with much taste. The Paintings in water colors were in one room and those in oils and the crayons in others. Nearly all the members of the Club were represented on the walls of one or the other of the rooms, and we suspect that the association itself was not less surprised and gratified Ukhan were its visitors at the excellence of the display, whether viewed as a whole or exumined in detail, In almost every case a de- cided advance was shown on the works exhib- ited at previous receptions. Want of space prevents such an illusion to-day to many of the paint‘ngs as their merits demand, and which It ts hoped they may yet receive. at least in part, at another time. For the present it can only be said that the display was one of which not only the Club, but the wnole community ma: i be proud.» For the benefit of those who were not able to be present last evening, we mey add that the rooms are open free to the public every day and evening this week, and That visitors are cordially invited to call at their convenience.

The dancing was kept up very merrily; the program including the lancters well as round dances, and its enjoyment was not by any means confined to the youngest ladies and gentlemen present. - GEN, EWING CLOSED THE DRI in an hour's ‘speech, on the army bill to-day. The democrats at first had intended to make no reply to the re- publicans touching the rider, but last night it Was arranged that Gen. Ewing should reply to allen masse. At one point in his speach, Gen. Ewing referred to Gen. Grant, which evoked some applause on the republican side. INDIGNANT SENATORS,—Some of the democratic Senators are indignant at the publicity that was siven to the recent caucus proceedings, and it is their intention to call the attention of the next caucus to the matter, with the view of as- ceraning how the newspapers get these ree ports.
