Maynard, all the mem- bers of the Cabinet were present at the meet- ing to-day. The session was very brief, and strictly confined to routine business. The ap- potntment of a chief signal officer—contrary to general expectation—was not alluded to. THE Pension Payuents.—The Treasury de- partment has sent out the drafts for the pay- ment of the quarterly pensions. The payment {© pensioners witl commence to-morrow. The Soon ee to be paid out aggregates ab2at ‘THE STRINGENCY IN THE New YorRK Monsy MARKET and the scarcity of legal tenders has caused an extra demand for stflver certificates. ‘The amount now being Issued by the Treasury on deposits of gold coin in New York aggre- gates nearly a half million aday. It is not be- Heved at the Treasury that there will be an easy money market until the Ist dayot Jan- uary, which will, of course, tend to increased demands for stlver certificates. January Ist the market will be relieved to the extent of $22,000,000, which will then be paid out of the ‘Treasury. About half of this amount will be paid in ‘interest. due on that date, and about half will be paid in redemption of bonds that fall due December 31st. TxE New V. P.

It will be delivered to the news- papers upon receipt of a telegraphic annov ment of fs delivery to Congress, The message is much longer than any the President ha: heretofcre sent to Congress. It will be about 15,000 words in length, and will make about eight columns in Tug Stak. A good portiou of tue document will be devoted to a review of the history of President Hayes’ administration. It Will be one of the most interesting of president- jal messages.

The session will cover four days, and is expected to ba the most important ever held by the body named. Dr. Townshend will use all possible means to have the next anLiial meeting of tuis congress of sanitary solons held in Washington, and to this end has been authorized by"the Commisstoners of the District to extend the hospitalities ot our Cities. This effort is earnestly seconded by the medical societies aad profession of the District, as well as the scientific bodies and National Board of Health. Dr. Townshend will be absent about twelve or fifteen days, during which Ume Chief Clerk MeUinn will conduct the health department.

Fevre, who ts clialrman of the sub-committee to investigate the Agricultura! department, will probably never submit any Teport of the operations of his committee. inso- much as but little in the direction of investiga- Uon has been accomplished by the committee. CLERK OF THE NEW Tio! —A boom Is belng organized, with considerable foundation, in favor of making ex-Representdtive Rainey, of South Carolina, the clerk of the next House of Representatives, It will be remembered that at the close of the 45th Congress, when the en- rolling cominittee were in a bad way to say the least, Mr. Rainey did the work of four men, without food or sleep, for twenty-four hours, and saved the country the expense and disxd vantage of an extra session of Congress. SiTTING Bu’s Inplans,—Col. H. M. Black, commanding U.S. troops at Fort Assinniboine, has forwarded to the War department throuzh the regular channels a letter aadressed to him from Fort Welsh, November 6, to the effect thar & French half-breed named Tempt Convert was shot and killed by Indians on the night of the 17th October last, at a place Known as the “Mud House,” about sixty roties from Wood Moun- tain, and about three-quarters of a mile on the Canadian side of the line. Major liges writes trom Camp on Mouth of Musselshell, M. T., via ‘Terry’s Landing, November 24th, as follows: “T think this the pees ume to strike any camps of hostile Indians between the Missouri and the boundary tine. The weather is so severe that troops will not be looked for by them.” A dispatch of the same purport asthe above was received from the commanding of ficer of Fort Custer, to which the following is a reply from General Terry: “Recall all the troops from the mouth of tué Musselshell, so a3 to reach Keogh by the time the subsistence they have now is exhausted. Any grain Major Ilges may have that he does not need and cannot readily bring back to Keogh, order him to send to Fort Maginnis. The principal part of Sittin; Bull's force is out of reach across the Briti: Une, and the severity of the season, with the expense and difficulty of suppites, make further operations in that direction tnexpedient as matters stand now.” KRPRESENTATIVE NEAL ON THE New Disreicr Copg.—Representative Neal, of Ohio, the au- thor of the new cod erty tax feature of the code for a lice! tem.

In his annual report, Secretary Thompson | estimates for an appropriation of $32,604.70 for the channel of the Eastern Branch, dredgin; | Yeading to the navy yard. THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD. He says:—In my last annual report I stated the necessity for the purchase of additional [aay for the extension of the yard. The en- largement of its boundaries is very desirable. 1 also called attention to the né ity of dredg- ing the channel of the east brafich ot the Poto- mac river. The loose earth washed tn from the adjoining hills is fast filling up the channel, and if not removed navigation willin a shor: tume_be 80 impeded that even lght-draugat ships will be unable to reach the yard. Witnin a few days of the present, Ume the Portsmouth Tan aground at the mouth of the east branch, ana only succeeded in Bececinre yard by the aid of a towing vessel. At ordinary tide {t {5 almost impossible for any of our vessels to get up as high as the yard without such aid. If this work is done without further delay it is conft dently believed that it will require no more than the present estimate, but if delayed mu: jonger a larger appropriation will be necessars to secure access to the yard, which fs far too valuable to be abandoned. Much important work is done here which cannot be done at any of the other yards, and as 16 Is so near the capital It is desirable that it should be main- tained what it now fs, a first-class yard. The dredging machine now owned by ths depart- ment is suffictent 0 execute all the work, and it can all be done at Dut little other expense than the price of the labor. SUGGESTIONS OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. The Secretary commends the tratning system for boys, and says it is designed to give some- what more efficiency and vigor to the system by oe a training fleet, composed of the training ships, under the separate command of some stiperior officer, who shall have supervi- sory care. “This wil! secure the necessary uni- formity of action by making the method of edu- cation and training the same on all the ships, The discipline of the navy academy, its instric- tive branches and condition are graulfying, It is _recommended—the anomalous condition of affairs in Alaska being polnted out—that Con- gress enact at the ensuing session some law for the institution of the necessary civil authority in Alaska, iteference is made to the importance of our commercial relations with South and Central America, and to the establishment of coailag stations in that quarter, one on elther side of the Isthmus. While the title to the land where these stations were located had not been quired, such preliminary steps were tak that Would prevent any troubie growing 0: of their establishment. In order to effectually furnish protection to and foster our merchant Marine a suflicient number of vessels should be added to the navy. They should not be only cruisers, but fitted for all the purposes of war when occasion requires, It ts not the province Of congress to build vessels for the merchant service, bor is It expedient or possible to allow commercial articles to be transported upon ye3- sels of war; but it undoubtedly is within its con- stitutional powers to give the necessary protec- Uon to our ship-buliding interests, 50 as to justify an Increase of our mercanttie marine to Such an extent as the necessities of our com- merce shall require. it is entirely competent to arrange with private ship-bullders with on reference to the extension of our postal ser- j vice upon the ocean, and to require that the vessels used for that purpose shall be sO constructed that in the event of War, they may be employed immediately for War purposes. Such vessels, built for strength and speed, would add most materially, in case Of necessity, to our means of national defense, and the Inerease of our naval force by this means would soon enable us to compete upon the ocean with the strongest naval powers in the world. England owes her present naval pupenousy, to this policy, and it serves no valu- able purpose to contrast our condition with hers unless we shall profit by her example. So long as her merchant vessels, built under her pro- tection and patronage, are allowed to draw annually from our wealth about $100,000,000 as compensation for treighting our commerce, just so long will our inferiority exist. Whenever our own commerce shall be carried on In vessels owned and built by our own people, capab e of being turned into ships ot war when i y, then we shall reach the point of equality with her, and be prepared, when the necessity snail arise, to test with her the question of Supert. ority upon the sca, Before the war we i hearly suececicd im running British ves: trom Ube ocean, and since then have conten: ourselves with uttering complaints agatns England for her agency in destroying ours while the war was in progres3, The tine [0 active and energetic measures have now ar rived, and every future year of neglect will add to our inferiority.
