The revision of these assessments ‘has reduced the amount owing by the owner of the lot, and creates a deficiency which the act of 1878 authorised to be settled by a drawback cer Ufleate for the amount of such reduction. As the Commissioners of the District decitaed to take into account the interest due upon the mugane of reduction, the holders deciined to amcept, The amount of such reductions on unpaid Mens will be under $160,000, to which the hold ers claims interest should be added at ten per cent from an average date of 1872. ‘There remains uncollected special assess- Mmentsto the amount of $545,964 17, les3_col- lected since December 27th, $31,438, making a total of $767,476.17 now outstanding, to which add interest at ten per cent for an average of four years pledged to the aorne fund for the redemption of the 8 per cents, §767 476.17, and interest amounting to $306.990.47, or a total due 0b account of the sinking fund of $1,075,466.64.

This was shown the other day before the House eommittee on foreign aflairs. A hearing of the different inter-oceratc capal people was on. The question of th» Clayton-sulwer treaty as bearing on the pro- sed Panama canal was under discussion. iow, the treaty only applied to Central Amar- fea, Allthe members of the committee had something to say as to the relation of the treaty to the Panama route. Ex-Seci jompson, who was present as the representative of the Panama Iuterest,sald very quietly: “Gentlemen, there gone point upon which I nave nottced you labor under a misapprehension; and this Tay be as good a time as any to disabuse your mind of that ae ce The prospec- tive Panama canal 1s not located In Central America but in South America.” Not a mem ber of the committee was cognizant of this geo. ographical fact.

BOUSE.—The evening sesaion of the House of Representatives was used up in an attempt to seeure the attendance ofa quorum. A Dill had been pending for the relief of Theophilus P. Chandler, late sub-treasurer of Boston, Mass. It reileves him of all responsibility and lability tor the loss of moneys loaned by Julius F. Hart- well, who was the disbursing clerk and cashier ofthe sub-treasury. Hartwell had charge of the public moneys.» He loaned the sum of $480,000 to Mellen, Ward & Co., and it was lost. ‘The report states that the loss was not the re- sult of any default or ne nee on the part of Mr. Chandler. Under this bill, the question of the responsibility of a United States officer for the acts of his subordinates was discussed. Mr. Morse made an explanation of the matter and said that Chandler had recovered the money and put it in the Treasury. ie Danks which had lost the funds brought sult, and the Supreme Court decided that, as Hartwell was an officer of the United States, the money must, be refunded. Mr. Mills ed that if officers were to be held responsible for the laches of their subordinates, no one could afford to ac- cept the appointments. Mr. Sparks argued that the sub-treasurer was responsible, for it wa3 his business to see that his d svursing officer was @ man of proper character. ir. Bragg took the same ground. Mr. Car- Isle did not doubt that officers’ bonds were re- sponsible for the thefts of subordinates, but he id not believe that the government intended to make each officer an absolute insurer. On the question of laying the bill Aside with a favor- able recommendation, there were 85 in the af- frmative and 17 in the negative, when Mr. Sparks and Mr. McMillan made the point that there was no quorum. A call of the House was ordered, when It was developed that 122 members only were presen’. At 11.25, (motions to adjourn having been mac and defeated in the meantime) Mr. Hammon: was brought in as the first absentee captured. Bis excuee was that he had been tn the Capitol, though not in the hall. He was excused. At i1.45 another motion to adjourn was de feated. At 12:30 only two more members—Messrs. Speer, of Georgia, and Kitchin, of North Caro Una—hbad been brought in, and a few minutes thereafter they were followed by Messrs. An- derson, of Kansas, and Forsythe, of Ilitao1s,and the usual form was carried out. Excuses were offered and motions made to excuse members. The usual scenes incident toa night sesstoa were enacted last nigot. Members coogrega ted In groups talking and laughing, now aad then walking down tothe bar of the House to listen to the excuses of memoers who had beea arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for absen- Weism. During the pause vet veen the reports of the Sergeant at-Arms, Mr. Frost, sugested, ironically, that the tedious hours be enlivened by allowing Mr. Speer to make a speech upon the necessity of improving the Tugalo river, in that gentieman s district. Mr. Speer replied, by remurking that the “pellucid Ingalo” Was a fner river than aay In the state of Missouri; which led to a sarcas- Ue Inquiry as to its width. Mr. Speer, in the course of Some further desultory remarks, said Uhat he had long wondered at the admiration which the genilemar from Missouri (frost) had manifested for Mr. Parnell, in a speecit made some me ago, bus he had recently jJearned that there was a iarge Fenlan vote in the gentleman’s dis‘ rict. Mr. Irost retorted by stating that in his ex- amination of the river and harbor bill, upon which the House would soon be called upon to vote, lis geography had been materially im- roved. Streams like the Tagalo, which had ntherto been unknown to him, had come to lis knowledge, greatly to his advantage, but very much to the disadvantage of the U.S. Treasury. He acknowledged that a number of his constituents were of Irish descent, and that he had some Irish blood in his own veins, (bleed hin, suggested a meinber.! but even had he not he thought that tLe Irish people, for they bad accompltshed for tnis country, were enutled to the sympathy of the American people, { Mr. stein—Give us your views ou the chine: estion.

The com- ec on rules had attempted to devise some measures to do away with the cailof the House, but had been unable to doso. It depended on the members themselves whether or not the dighity cI the House should be preserved, and Wether or uot the business whicn the people had sent them to do shouid be done. He catled on members, In the name of thelr consittuents, in the Lame of the couniry which demanded Lnat business should be done, to treat this mat- ter asit ough? to be treated—as a matter of dignity, of solemnity, of absolute mesessity to the performance of the high duues to whlch they had been called by their constituents.

On the part of some gentlemen this dete tion was Strengthened by the desire to pass the *‘Chand- ler” bill, but for the most part it arose from a disposition to make Itapparent that when the House ordered evening sessions hereafter the members attending such sessions would insist upon the presence of a quorum and the trans- action of the business agreed upon.

SATURDay, January 22. THE SENATE was not tn session to-day. HOUSE.—Owing to the late hour at which the House adjourned this morning, the journal of yesterday was not completed at the hour of meeting, and a recess was taken for the purpose of permitting its completion. After the recess the Journal was read and approved. The morning hour having been dispensed with, Mr. Keifer called up the resolution of the committce on elections upon the contested election case of Bisbee vs. Hull, declaring tne contestant. Bisbee, entitled to the seat. Mr. Springer explained that the opposition to the consideration of this case yesterday arose from the fact that some gentlemen on bis side desired Mr. Hull to be present at tue time of the vote. The resolution was adopted, and Mr. Bisbee appeared at the bar of tne House and took the oath of office. On motion of Mr. Cox, Senate bill was passed authorizing certain persons to accept decora- ‘Uons and presents from foreign goveraments. Mr. Lowe rose to a personal explanation. He saw, from the record, that the Sergeant-at-Arms had reported him as refusing last nigut to obey 4 order of the House. ‘The Sergeant-at-Arms in making that statement had Suppressed his excuse—that he was unwell. The order for the arrest of Lowe was then vacated. Thd House then, at 1:30, adjourned. The Possi je Scnator from Tennes see. ‘The latest private dispatches recelved at the Capitol to-day from Nashville, Tenn., were dated at alate hour last night. Mr. Maynard had, after receiving the entire republican vote— 49—Deen virtually withdrawn, it belng agreed that he could not be elected. Senator Balley’s vote had fallen to 13, while Gen. Bate had in. creased to 32, within 19 of the number requisite to elect. The indications were favorable to the election of Bate. Gen. W. B. Bate was a con- Ttederate major general in the western army. He made an excellent record as.a military map. There appears to be some objection to Gen. Bates’ election among Tennessee democrats be- canse he was a confederate general, It being held by his opponents that there are enough “confederate brigadiers” in Congress now.
