ENGINEBR COMMISSIONER OF THE DISTRICT.— No steps have been taken looking to the destg- nation of an engineer commissioner of tne Dis- trict in place of Major Twining. The applica- Ucn of Major Twining to be relteved from nis prevent duties February ist next has not been considered, but will probably be granted.

The opinion of the majority of the Senate committee fs that it is the duty of the present Congress to make the apportion- ment, but the Senators prefer that the measure should originate fn the House, as it will directly uffect that body. If the House committee do Lot report. a bill by next week, Senator Pendie- {on will submit a bill from his committee. CONGRESS YESTERDAY.—After our report of the proceedings tn Congress closed yesterday, the Senate continued to discuss the Ben Holll- day claim up to adjournment. The House spent the day in the discussion of the funding bill. Among the speakers were Messrs. Chitten- den of New York, Kelley of Pennsylvani. Weaver of Iowa, Morrison of Illinols, an McLane of Maryland. Several notices were given of amendments to be offered, and the Measure went over, to be considered by sections on Saturday. Wairz Hovse Caiters.—Senators Bruce, Anthony, Ferry, and Dawes, and Representa- tives Osmer, Butterworth, Fisher, Warner, Yocum, Loring, Hiscock, Herbert, Felton, Bo: man, Robeson, Kelley, White, (Pa.,Jand McKin- | ley Were among the President's callers to-day. ANOTHER NoTaRy.—The President has ap- inted A. P. Clarke to be notary public for the Mstrict of Columbia. ‘TRE New SECRETARY OF THE Navy.—Gen.

Goff took the oath of office before Mr. Crook, the disbursing clerk at the White House who is also a notary public. Having qualified, Secretary Goff joined in the Cabinet conference to-day, To-morrow morn- ipg at 9 o'clock he will be at the Navy depart- ment and fully enter upon his duties. THE TENNESSEE SENATORSHIP.—Representa- tive McMillin, of Tennessee, arrived in Wasb_ ington yesterday, direct from Nashville. He sald the state credit and low-tax democrats in the Tennessee legislature had met in con- ferences and in caucus and that they were in enure harmony in regard to political questions: that they would vote together as democrats and elect a democratic Senator. beyond doubt. THE GOVERNMENT RecgirTs have fallen off of late. The receipts for the current month to date demonstrate that the Secretary of the Treasury will not buy any outstanding bonds other than the balance of the sixes of 153). November Ist, 150, there were outstanding 13,414,1v0 Of these bonds. There were re- deemed during that month $3,609,261, and dur- ing December $5,699,430. This leaves $4.105,309 outstanding. It is believed that it will require ail the surplus revenues of the current month to meet these outstanding bonds. For this reason it ts thought that Secretary Sherman will make bo purchases until February, if thea, unless the funding bill passes at once. POINT BLANK DeNtAL,—Mr. Stflson Hutchins writes to the New York Tribune as follows :— “Will you do me the favor to allow me to say that any man who intimates that I had any- thing to do with the Morey letter, its inception, manulacture or publication, is an intentional slanderer as well as a liar.” ‘Tuk Position of U.S. circult judge of the Oth cireutt, to succeed Justice Woods, will be filled ina day or two. The nominee will be dudge E. C, Billings. of New Orleans. Juiz Billings is at present U. 8. District attorney ior Louisiana. THE ELECTION OF Mk, CONGER to the Michi- gan Senatorship gives universal satisfaction to his republican colleagues. The democrats also affect to be pleased, because it will remove him from the House, in which he has given them a good deal of bother. ARMY ORDEKS.—The resignation of Captain Jobn J. Clague, commissary subsistence, of his commission as first Heut., 12th infantry, only, has been accepted by the President to take effect December 15, 1880. Captain R. M.

Waat REPRESENTATIVE WHITTHORNE Says.— A STAR reporter asked Representative Whit- | thorne to-day the probabie ou‘come of the Sena- torial sqnabhie in Tennegsee. Sald he: “Itis hard to tell who wilt be elected. Ido not be- eve elther party can dictate the Senator through caucus action, but that the matter will be settled by the votes of the legislature in joint convention.” “ Is there any apprehension,” quoth Tug Star, “of the repubiicans getting away with the Sepa- torship.” = That Ican't tell.

Satd he: “Yes; I suppose that has been done.” “Well, what does it mean?” inquired Tas Re TA “That I don't know,” sald Mr. Frye. “ When I left Maine, I left my interests in the hands of my friends, I know nothing of what they have done, other than what fs contained in the news- paper dispatch. As I said before, I suppose they have withdrawn my name, but I know nothing of tt from them.” There is no doubt but that Mr. Frye will suc- ceed Mr. Blaine in the Senate when the latter Tesigus to take a seat in Gen. Garfield’s cabinet. It is belleved, too. that Mr. Frye 1s not at all a sed because of nis friends withdrawing him from the contest for Senator Aamlin’s place. At all events, he did not appear 80 to- day, but looked radiantly sunny.

Within a comparatively brief time Mr. Young has lost every one of hisown family— wife and children—and receives in his last great afiliction the sympathy and pesare of a large circle of friends here and elsewhere. The late Mrs. Young was a woman notable in the do- mestic and charitable relations of a life at home and abroad. —The joint committee on the library building to day heard the several architects in favor of their respective plans, and will probably udopt one of the plans to- morrow. ‘THE KELLOGG Cask was precipitated upon the Senate to-day by the presentation of a memo- rial, by Senator Jonas, of one J. W. Moore, who set forth that he was a member of the Packard legislature, and was bribed to vote for Kellogg. Senator Kellogg sald that Moore had been turned out of a position he hela in the custom- house at New Orleans, and with the view of hurting somebody, because of the loss of his lace, he had sentin the memorial, Senator ill said he understood that a “cloud” of wit- nesses who had sworn in behalf of Mr. Kellogg were now willing to swear differently. Senator Kellogg dented a statement made,he satd,several Umes that members of the Packard legislature had sworn to haying been bribed to vote for him (Kellogg.) He sald the record would show that bot one member of that legislature ever hhad said he had been bribed. JUDGE BUCKNER, Chairman of the House com- mittee on banking and currency, says the Wocd refunding bill will be defeated, and if the House passes any Dill at all it will elther be his own or Judge Kelley’s eubstitute. ‘THR MowRoE Docrrixe.—The foreign affairs committee of the House will next week con- sider the resolution reasgerting the principles of the Monroe doctrine.

SEORETARY RAMSEY FOR SENATOR.—Gentlc- men here from Minnesota predict the election of Secretary Ramsey to the Senate beyound a doubi. Secretary Ramsey himself has most encouraging reports from his friends, who write that there is no question of his election. The Secretary said, to-day, with a laugh, that he supposed that the other man’s friends gave their candidate the same sort of encouragement. While it 1s impossible to predict who will be elected, the general tone—even of the Seere. tary’s opponents—tis that if he had not gone into the contest at so late a date, there would not have been the least use of opposing him, as he would have carried the day with no oppust tion to speak of. Mason J. C. BRECKENRIDGE, 2d artillery, on duty at the Arsenal here, will probably be made colonel and inspector general in place of Col. Shriver, recently retired.

And tt would seem that the proper place for an app ropriation for such a pw is in the river and harbor improvement bill. But the committee on commerce have already put appr opriations aggregating some $5,000,000 into this bill, and they say that to add to $1,250,000 required to reclaim the Potomac Marshes would overload the bill and kill it. This amounts to a confession thatthe jobs by which Senators and Representatives strengthen their epee With their constituents must over- Tide apy really needful appropriation. Nearly allot the so-called river and harbor improve- ments authorized by Congress are nothing but deliberate thefts. There are no constituents to be flattered and tickled by an appropriation to make the national capital more habitable. This statement explains the habitual neglect by Congress of the city of Washington.” CapET WHITTAKER’S CasE.. . F.

Fripay, January 7. SENATE.—Only 16 Senators were present at 12 o’ciock to-day. Mr. Hampton was in his Seat for the first time this session. After a pause of several minutes a quorum appeared, and the journal was read. The Vice President submitted a communica Uon from the Secretary of War, calling atten tion to the insufficiency of the appropriation of $75,000 made by the House tn the army appro- priation bill for recruiting expenses, and rec- ommending an appropriation of $97,009. Also, from the same officer, a communteation Tecommending an appropriation of $52,500 to meet operating -expenses Cf the Portland and ere canal for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882. Mr. Jonas presented the memorial of W. J. Moore, of New Orieans, alleging that Wm. Pitt Kellogg procured his election as U. 8S. Senator by bribery and corruption, seid Burke belng one of those bribed, and asking vo be examined before the Senate. Committee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Jones moved its refereme to the sald committee, Mr. Catmeron (Wis.) said Mocre had ali been examined by the committe. He opposed the reference until it were seea whether that examination covered the question of bribery. Mr. Jonas remarked that the petitioner claimed that he was not previusly examined as to bribery. Mr, Hill (Ga.) sald he would hesitate to reopen the examination of the case for such testimony as that of Moore, whose character he denounced. Mr. Logan, tn this connection, wished to learn what the prospect was for tinal disposition of the ef In any event, he thought it remark- able hat & man should publish bimseif to the world as a rascal Who ought to be in the pent- tenilary, and ask the Senate to investigate him and see if be ought not. Mr. Kellogg sald Moore had recenily been dis- charged from the New Orleans cistom house for attempted embezzlement. He had since applied for reappointment, hinting shat other- wise he would send certain papers to Washiug. ton. Mr, Kellogg sald that Moore in deposing that be had been bribed by Kellogg, had lied, and if he swore to it had perjured himself. He was a blackmaller, and had offered tw sell his evidence to either side. Mr. Kellogg could bring a thousand citizens of New urieans to refute his charges. Mr. Hill ) said that Moore had once before offered je testify against Mr. Kellogg, but on being given a place in the custom housé he tes- Ufled in bis favor, He was now repeating the plan. This was a fine example of the cLaracter of the members of the Packard legislature. Mr. Hiil had never seen one of them whom he would believe under oath. He belleved that Mr. Kel- logg had championed Moore's credibility when he was examiped, though now he offered to bring 1,000 men to show his bad reputation. A general discussion ensued. Mr. Kellogg rose, as he said, to contraiict an assertion by Mr. Hill (Ga.) that membersof the Packard legislature swore before the committee that there was bribery. Mr. Hill interrupted, remarking that he had said no such thirg. The two Senators went on speaking together, and Mr. Hoar called the Senafor from Georgia to order. Mr. Kellogg proceeded with considerable feeling to assert that no Packard members ad- mitted bribery, and that all evidence of bribery had been refuted by Mr. Kellogg on democratic evidence. He remarked that the Senator from Georgia Was still trying to kee| me an attack upoa him by means of memorials, ¢., in continuation of his threat at the opening of the case that he in- tended to drive Mr. Kellogg to the wall. Mr. Kell then reviewed Moore’s testimony. Mr. Hill, in replying, said his assertion was thal members wuo vefore the committee had denied bribery bad before sworn that they were bribed. He did not propose to notice what the sitting member had said. Tais discussion would have one good effect—in calling public attention to the iniluence of the custom honse in this case. : ‘The morning hour expired and the discussion was dropped. On motion of Mr. Bayard it was resolved—23 to 17—that when the Senate adjourn to-day tu be to meet on Monday next.

Mr. Springer offered a resolution calling on the.
