THIRTY-NINE CLERKS In the Navy department | Were to-day discharged to take effect February Ist next. These clerks are on the temporary | roll and paid out of the appropriation for con Mingent expenses. Their removal is caused by the exhaustion of that appropriation.

CONTROLLER KNOX ON THE REFUNDING BILL.— The Senate finance committee this morning gave an extended hearing to the controller of the currency in opposition to the fifth section of the funding bill. Hisarguments were mainly directed against the proposed repeal of section four of theact of June 20, 1874, and 112 re-en- actment of sections 5,159 and 5,160 of the re- vised statutes concerning the surrend:r of cir- culating notes and the deposits of bonds as se- | curity for circulation and deposits. His con- ference with the committeee to-day also in- cluded in its range various «uestions in regard to the earnings, profits on circulation and dividends of bational banks, and their right to issue and retire circulating notes at their pleas- ure. "the committee adjourned without day, but the chairman will probably call another special meeting to continue the consideration of the funding bill in advance of nexi Tuesday's regular weekly session.

RIGHT OF THE SENATE TO OXIGINATE AFPRO PRIATION BiLLs.—The House committee on the judiciary decided an important question yes- terday, Involving the constitutional right of the Senate to originate bills making appropria- tions of public moneys. The question was raised upon a potnt of order made in the House against two bills passed by the Senate—which involved appropriations—that under the clause of article | of the Constitution, which vests In the House of Pie mec exclusive power to originate ali bills providing for the ratsing of revenue, the Senate was debarred from origi- —— bills involving appropriations. Tae report holds that th righ e right ta originate bits to rovide revenue ts entirely distinct from foes not include the exclusive right to originate bills for the spending of the revenue. Numer- ous authorities are , notably the decision of Chief Justice Gray, of the supreme court of the state of Massachusetts, upon the same uestion, which was raised in the legislature of that state under the provisions of its state constitution identicai with that of the Constl- tution of the United States. Amy OxDERa.—The leave granted First Lieut. W. S. Schuyler, 5th cavalry, atde-de~ camp, 1s still further extended one year.

Central Pacific Railroad. KESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. ‘The government representatives and the rep- resentatives of the Central Pacific railroad had another bout to-day over the points in differ- enee. First, there was a conference at the attorney-general’s office, at which the same gentlemen were present or at the meeting yes- evening. No conclusion was reached and the conieren| journed to the Interior depart- hent. Aller a joiut discussion there, lasting some time, the two sides drew off and sepa- rately considered the propositions that had been made. nck the conference adjourned,and the statement waS made public by Altor- ueral Devens:—“There 1s a dispute be- tween the Central Pacific Railroad and the United States as to whether certain sums, which are Claimed by the railroad to be applica- ble to the payment cf dividends are properly so applicable. It 1s understood that the United States will file a bill to order to test the wuestion whether such sums of money can properly be used for that purpose. But it 18 also understood that if the persons interested in the railroad Shall give a bond that in case it 1s floally de- cided that such sums should not be used ior the payment of dividends, that they will re- store them to the treasury of tue company that an immediate injunction wil! not be pressed tor, but that the matter will await ual decision upon this bond, which it 13 under- sicod will be in the sum of three-quarters million of dollars. Under these circumstances the dividend will of course be paid, as the ge Uemen interested fn the matter are amply able coat the additional security which Is re- quired.” ‘The District in Congress. TAXES PLE THE DISTRICT BY THE 8. AND 0. RAILROAD. Mr. Whyte to-day called up in the Senate consideration the bill to authorize the compro- mise by the District of Columbia with the Bal- more and Ohio ratiroad company in the ma ter of the taxes due by the latter to the Distiict. Senator Edmunds opposed the bill. He did not believe in establishing the precedent of com- promising with corporations in the payment of taxes. He believed in treating corporations as individuals are treated. If this railroad com- Pany is to get a reduction of taxes then cltl- zens could und should claim as much. Senator Edmunds pont he knew of residents of the District who, if this rafiroad company 1s per- mitted a reduction of taxes by a compromise, would feet that they had a right to demand the same consideration. The (juestion of the rall- road’s taxes was before the Supreme Court, and he was in favor of awaiting the decision; not of making ubis compromise now. Senator Whyte said the question of the taxation of rolling Steck in the District, which was here to-day and gone to-morrow, was ralsed, and after ex- arnination the Commissioners had agreed that the taxes as against the B. and 0. company were exeasive and that the $75,000 pro- posed in the compromise would cover all that the company ought justly to pay. Mr. Edmunds insisted that the subject of assessments and taxation should be left n the hands of the reg- ular taxing officers) The Senate ought not to undertake to throw off anything from the reg- ular assessment made in the usual way against this company. After further discussion the Dill was passed by a vote of 35 to 7. THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE DISTRICT at to-day s meeting directed Chairman Hunton to report a Dill for the appointment of one hun- dred additional patrolmen on the Metropolitan police force, to be appointed immediately upon the bill becoming a law, and to hold such ap- pointinents untii the ist of April next. There Was a long discussion touching the bill to reor ganize the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company. It appears that the company is largely in debt tothe Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which latter corporation holi3 a morigage on the franchises of the company to secure 1, The Baltimore and Potomac com- paby.cannot satisty the mortgage ani th Pennsylvania company wants to fureclose. evebt Of such foreclosure, however, the p: {ug biil authorizes the Pennsylvanta coi ‘e reolganize the Baltimore and Potom: paby uuder such name as it may elect ana to retain all the powers and franchises whica ai tach to the Baltimore and Potomac comp Mr. Neal, of Uhio, offered two important amend- ments to the bill: One wag that if the Pean- sylvanla company is allowed by the foreclosure Of Its mortgage to reorganize the Baltimore and Potomac Company, it shall pay an annual rental of 4 per cent on the appraised value of the property, for the use of its present depot site, the pi of which shall be applied to a poor fund for the District. The other amend- ment contemplates the sale of the present de- pot to the District government and compels the Dnsylvania company to unite with the Balti- more and Ohio company for the establishment of a union depot. A representative of the How- ard University was heard favoring the appro- eee of $17,500 for the University; $10,000 for its general support, and the balance for repairs to the buildings and grounds. THE POTOMAC RIVER IMPROVEMENT. The House committee on commerce did not Yote to-day as was expected on the question of the Potomac river improvement. THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD AND THE BASTERN BRANCH, Mr. McPherson, chatrman of the naval com- mittee, to-day presented in the Senate two communications from Secretary Goff, of the Navy department, containing letters in regard to the Coden) of the Eastern branch and the building of a shed at the navy yard. ADVICES FROM HARRISBURG are to the effect that the combination with democrats to elect Oliver Senator ts broken, and that his chances | now for €lection are growing poorer each day. A RvMor was current at the Capitol at 2:30 Ubis afternoon that Horace Maynard had been elected U. S. Senator by the Tennessee legisla- ture. The demccrats discredit it. ENATOR JONES has returned from Florida and Was in bis seat to-day. He was re-elected to the Senate by the unanimous vote of the demo- crats, He is the only Senator ever elected from Florida without a contest of any kind and by the unanimous action of a party, THE ELECTORAL COUNT QUESTION IN THE Hovsg.—The House, to-day, is engaged on the Tegolution to count the electoral vote. The re- publicans are, of course, fllibuste to pre- vent its passage. On the first roll. vote 254 members were present. Of these 135 were dem- cerats. This 1s not a quorum of the House. Five who are present are and Mr. Speer on ake of Georgia, is voting with the republicans. e session may run all night if the fillibustering continues, although until the democrats have 149 members in attendance they cannot pass the resolution.

All the ladies who cus- tomarily receive on Tuesdays had numerous calls, and in the evening it seemed as if few of those who add interest to our social assembi- ages failed to attend one or more of the parties. The President and Mrs. Hayes recetved in the iue Parlor at the Executive Mansion trom 5 to lorclock. The attendance was large, but at no time too much so to prevent promenadiog Ubrough the parlors and corridor.

Snerman’s and the Japanese Minister's soirees firat paid their respects to the President and his wife. ieneral Sherman and his daughters gave the second of thelr card receptions, the guests 1n- vited to which were, on this occasion, mostly army and navy officers and their families. The general, in compliment to these, wore the full dress unfform of an officer of his high rank, and looked very gorgeous. He was in tp-top spirits, and, as always, agreeable. Some otlers ‘Of the officers present were in full dress unt- forms.

Sherman's staff, wore stray colored brocade With crimson satin pipings and Howers of thesame shade, Mrs. T. C. Craw- Tord wore one of the richest toilets seen—anber brocade and plain satin, embroidered in white bugles. The suppes room was open all the evening, and !ts dalnties were much enjoyed. Tbe suite of parlors was filled allthe evening | with distinguished guests, though the company was constanuy chauging. As, owing to their long absence in Japan, Mr. Yoshida, the Minister from that empire, and his wife have for three years had no opportunity of entertaining thelr Washington friends, as they greatly epjoy doing, all who were thvited to their recepuion were eager to attend.

Information has reached here that on Satur- day week a shocking attempt was made to poison the family of Mr. Benjamin Faw- cett, residing near Colesville, Mongomery county, Md, The poison (arsenic,) was mixed in the buckwheat cakes cooked for breakfast and of which eight per- sons, including Mrs. Fawcett and the children who were at home partook. They were imme- lately seized with violent sickness, and Mrs. Fawcett was thrown into spasms. Fortunately the overdose of arsenic was so great that it caused vomiting. and thereby the lives of all the victims were saved, though Mrs. Fawcett is still very ill. Mr. Fawcett, who is an officer of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, was away from home at the time, and thus escaped this desperate assault upon the Lives of the family. It will be remembered that some years agohe came very near belng murdered on tae line of the canal, by a gang of ruffians, seeking to get possession of the money in his custody for the payment of the canal employes. He was way)aid and shot at, but managed by a desper- ate effort to force his horse! through the circle of masked assailants, and to make his escay with the money in bis charge. It is not easy to see what could be the ive for this whole- sale attempt at poisoning, but there arecircum- stances leading to the suspicion that the colored cook was the gullty _ party.
