THE MACRICE-WOEDEN SLANDER.—The cele- brated case of Prof. Bernard Maurice, formerly professor of French at the United States Naval Academy. vs. Admiral John D. Worden, was proucnt up in the United States Circuit Court in Baltimore, yesterday, before Judge Morris on @ motion to remand to the Court of Common Pleas. The case is one of action for $20,000 damages for defamation of character, and has been before the courts for several years. Prof. Maurice was employed at the Naval School as tustructor of French, and applying to Admiral Worden, the commandant 0; the school, for a letter of recommendation to another institution of learning. he was given one. tn which the ad- mitral referred to his reputation at Annapolis, which he described a3 being somewhat injured by several scandals, charging the plaintift with undue familiarity with young girls. ‘The case went to the Court of Common Pleas, thence to the Court of Appeals, when it was remanied; thence again It went to the United States Cir cuit Court, and yesterday a motion was mide to remand it a second time. The arguments lasted through yesterday and are continued to- aay. Internal rev- 03. THE NATIONAL. GRANGE continued its sessions yesterday. A report on education was submit_ ted by Mr. Halwell, of Tennessee, and Mr, Darden, of Mississippi, presented a suppl mental report upon agriculture. The qiest‘on of selecting a place for the next annual meciing came up, but was not disposed of, Atlanta, Ga.; Galveston, Tex.; Grand Rapids, Mich: Nashville, Tenn., and Washington, D. C., were nominated. At the meeting of the National Grange to- day it was determined to maintain an oice here in Washington. It will be kept open for the transaction of business connected with the grange, and will be in charge of Mr. [reland, Secretary of the National Grange. The com- mittee to select a piace for the next annual meeting, reported in favor of Grand Rapids, Mich. Mr. Lang, of Texas, moved to substitute Gaiveston, but the gr: took a recess before a vote was reached. The matter will be decided at the session to-night, when a motion to select Nashville and also one to choose Atlanta, Ga., will be submittes. The indications are that either Grand Rapids or Galveston will be chosen, with chances in favor of the former. It 4s expected that the session of to-night will wind up the business, and the will adjourn sine die, ‘There are no officers to be elected this year, WHO HOLDS THE GOVERNMENT REGISTERED Bonbs.—-The Census office has issued the folly 6 ing a8 showing the distribution of tue $593,45 4 and 43 registered bonds: Total four pe: Tegistered bonds, $523,100, elt 495,100; national’ banks, trust companies, $113 $6,531,450. “Total { $10,000 1 GoD will be hereatter coined mouth. ly at Philadelphia tuto $5 and 10 ple THE FOLLOWING ASSIGNMENTS of newly-ar pointed second licutenants in the army have been made: F.

THE SUrREME CoUBT.—Prodabdle Legistativ Justices Swayne and Strong, according to good authority, will retire from the United States Supreme bench before the term of President Hayes expires. Both by reason of age are oe for retirement on full pay. Justice ‘ord is also eligtble to retire, but accordion: to an old rumor he has indicated that he wil } Bot retire until he can be succeeded by a demo- crat. Justice Hunt {3 not eligible for retire- ment, but is incapacitated for duty. It is said that when eee ess meets a bill will be tntro- duced, with goodchances for paasaze, author- ting the appointment of two additional! justices, whose places In turn are not to be Miled until the number of Justices are reduced to nine. This would give the court {ts full complement of justices, and when Justicas Hunt and Clifford etther retired or died, the court would stand just where it now Is.

The SOCIETY NOTEs. | The dinner given at 2 p. m. on Thanksgiving | Day by the President and Mrs. Hayes to the | gentlemen employed ia the business offices at the White House and their wives and children was a handsome entertainment.

They called at Sec- retary Sherman’s residence, as well as at the White House. They dined that evening with Col. Rockwell. Major Swaim, Gen.

On Tuesday next two weddings of interst will occur. At noon, at the residence of her father, the Secretary of the Senate, Miss Katharine Newell Burch willebe married to Mr. Lesile Warner, of Nashville, Tenn. The bride-elect, who was one of the handsomest and sprightlies in conversation of the young ladies who graced society here last winter, prefers to have very few present at her wedding, so has invited a very limited number. She has known Mr. War ner most of her life, and the mateh 1s in every Way a very satisfactory one to all concerned. ‘The couple will go north on a briet trip, and thence to Nashville, where they will reside in ‘uture. At eee Roe seven Tuesday eventag the mar- rage of Miss Minnie Stcuart, of this city, and Mr. Edward Davis, of Providence, k. 1., will be Solempized at the Epiphany church. Owing to the sudden death of Mr. Perry Davis, the groom's father, no one in addition to the relatives will be invited to witness the ceremony. ‘The groom’s mother and two of his ststers will probably come to see him married, as he his greatly be- loved in his family. The same evening Mr. Davis will start, with his young wife, for Provi- dence. While their own house is being bullt, Ubey will live with his mother, in that city. Miss Emina Etheridge, daughter of ex-Repre- sentative Emcrson Etheridge, of Tennnessee, Was married on Thanksgiving evening at halt Past seven o'clock, at St. Peter's church, Mem- phis, to Mr. John Y.

The President and Mrs. Hayes have no {nten- ton of going io Europe when they retire, but will occupy their home at Fremont, Onto. Although their residence there 1s undergoing some changes, they have been careful to retain, as nearly as possible, the original features of the house. Mrs, Hayes has a beautiful paint- ing by Mr. Hill, a young artist, which this gen Ueman had hung in her room while she was visiting the far west. Miss Lucy Cook, the charming young lady whom so many remember iH as @ guest of Mrs. Hayes, will spend the winter at the White House. ‘This evening the President and Mrs. Hayes will entertain General and Mrs, Garileld at din- ner.

Horatio King and Mrs, Klag attended the reunion of the Unity Club last evening at | 615 H street. They expressed some doubt abour | giving lterary entertainments during the Winter, as the time and attention required areso great. This. will disappoint many who so greatly enjoyed their literary sociables. The essay read at the meeting by Mr. W. W. Kinsley Was pronounced a literary gem. The music yi Misses Cluss, Mr. Taylor and Miss Goodail, recitations by Miss Payne and Miss Chas>, aud the social brevities were all exceedingly ple: ant.

THE WORLD'S FAIR AND THE NEW IRON STRAM- BOATS. One Of the most important matters soon to ve discussed in New York ts how to best accom- ; Modate the World's Pair. There are Dickerings and contentions that will end, probably, in its success through contributions from sources other than are now generally depended upon. The recent large tnvestinents of foreige capital- ists In American securities have quickly turned the attention of Europeans to this country, and trom this source comes an earnest desire that the World's Fair shall succeed. And notwith- standing the prejudices against the use of Cen- tral Park for that objeci, it Is probable that that Will be selected. “This is not the sub- ject T Intended to speak of, but 1t bears upon It iD tbat tt will bring so many people here and cause so great a demand for the transportation of them to the different summer resorts—over swo hundred ia humber—that are within an Our OF SO Of the city. ‘Speak of the propost- on to wipe out the wooden steamboat Interest by the construction of fifteen tron vessels, as a beginbing, to take their place. Eight of these vessels are contracted for and they will be ready early in the spring. Without a record of the accidents of last summer and which would be a terrible showing, it 1s easy to refer to the alarm that the travel- ing public have at the least danger of accident. | The public experience with these steamboats ts bitter, and the feeling against them ts more bitter. Iwas talking with a high city oficial just now and he called them floating coflas. ufus Hatch, tn iron steam! e Proposes to supply them as iron life _preservers, to take the place 0! the wooden coffins.

AINST THE PASSION PLAY In theatrical circles the sensation, not oa the week, but of the tlme. ts the Passion P about which the corporation counsel was ¢ all upon to-day for an opiaion as to whecher Play could be prohibited. He declined to give he did not see how he could tn terfere with the managers. There are many Unings in connection with this performance that are absolutely ridiculous. There ts p the wat have gone in taspector's offloe very enthusiastic Says that the y is al St only one drawback {to the production of the play, and that is the man who bad well’ rehearsed his part as Pontius Pilate to-day backed out because the news papers had so many severe things to say of the | play and he thought they probably would have | of the actors. Now t avontius Pilate is wanted. The fetlo’ hO cries out its him,” “crucify him,” rehearsed bis part al! day Sunday last. In the transtiguration scene, and in fact in all the striktog parts of the play, the scenic effect Is something wonderful In the temptation scene, where Saian appears and takes a prominent part, in fact Satan takes a prominent part all through the play and they he 1s a good Satan ia public and private tite lot of ey, girls Scant of clotuing dance forward with viands to please the object of ube tempter. The panorama ia the temptation | scene is grand. Judas Iscariot does not hang himself on the stage, but is supposed to hang himself among the scene-shifvers. There is a strong suspicion that Judas does not hang himself at all. | And it may, in Uils connection, be remarked that the pe ecmintice of Judas has the nose of Ceaconsfield, and a number of Hebrews earn- estly protest = such a scene upon the st ‘The earthquake is what would be called ; In the minstrels a “grand tumble"—a number | Of people step out their graves like a Jack from a box, and walk around the stage in might be further said that none of these char - | acters have been selected from the suggestive features of pegpie met on Pennsylvania avenue, ip Washington. ‘But sertously speaking, when the above facts are known, there will be an outcry among the ‘ Citizens of New York tbat will Me hard to ap- pease except Dy some severe method of 4 such as taking away the Mcense of the theater in which It is played, or some judicial perform - ance as violent as the play. The board of aldermen in executive ion have talked the matter over, and are awaiting public sentiment before they proceed. Those best informed in the matter consider tuts affair a positive out- Tage, not only to moral teachings but to com- | mon decency, akd a shock that is apt to destioy the effect of the training of our youth, A LITERARY FURORE, The sensation in lterary circles is the sudden ves sone | publication of the new Beaconsiield novel, “Endymion,” which was issued yesterday by the Appletons, and the demand fs far beyond the supply. This 1s looked upon as a plece of pal "senterprise.
