THE RIVER aND HaRgOR BILL —Senator Ran- som to-day reported back trom the commerce committee the river and harbor bill, with Sen- ate amendments. The provision in section one that the Secretary of War shall let by contract to the lowest responsible bidders all public works provided for in the bill, except surveys and estimates, ts stricken out, le Senate committee have increased the gate of the bill over one million dollars. The District ap- Priations remain as passed by the House—for Improving harbors and channels at Washington and Georgetown, $50,000. [tis very doubifal it the bill can be passed with this increase. Ot the amounts added, New York gets nearly $90,000; North Carolina, about $250,000; Virginia, about $30,000; Maryland, $12,000, The Senate committee inserted an amend ment, instead of what was stricken out in the first section, giving the Secretary of War fuit control cf the distributions and giviog him fuit Power to obtain property needed for Improve- ments, by condemnation, when necessary. THE FUNDING Bitt.—Conilicting statements and dispatches about the funding bill have created some confusion as to its present post- Uon. Itis upon the Speaker's table, aud the Ways and mears committee have not the rignt to Consider the bill; but they can recommend amendments to the Senate amendments, and tey intend to advise that the Senate am-nd- ment fixing July ist as the date when 3 per cent bonds shall me the only security for national bank circulation be extended to oad tember ist of this year. It 1s thought this will, to some extent, satisfy the national banks. If the House shall agree to the amendment and the Senate shall concur then the Dill will reach the President about Tuesday; but iti ue Senate noh-concurs It will necessitate a -onference ana further delay. Many friends of the billin the House advise rejecting any amendments, and concurrence in those of the Senate, so a3 to avoid all delay. The meeting of the ways and means committee was posponed until to- morrow, when a special session will be held to determine action upon the bill. ‘THE BILL introduded in the Senate by Mr. Beck to-day, to provide for the issue of U.S, circulating notes, authorizes the issue of . notes of denominations not less than $20 in exchange for gold coin delivered to the assis- tant treasurer at New York, in sums of $10,000 or mnore, the Obes 80 delivered to be held for the redemption of these notes and for no other purposes.

The Apportionment Dead-Lock. THE COMPROMISE AFTER THE NIGHT SESSION, The House of Representatives remained in session until 7 o'clock this morning, when a re- cess was taken until 10:30 o'clock. From 1 o'clock yesterday until 7 o'clock this morning nothing was done by the members but to sit idle and awalt the efforts of the Sergeant-at- Arms to get a quorum of democrats; the repub- licans refusing to vote to make aquorum. At that hour a Compromise was reached by an agreement that each side should select a com- qmilttee of five who should agree upon and bring in a compromise re-apportionment bill. ‘The demorrats selected as such committee Messrs. Cox, Morrison, House, Reagan and Thompson. ‘The republicans chose Messrs. Conver, Lapasam, Sherwin, Shalienberger and Anderson. This committee will meet during the day and en- deavor to frame a bill which will meet the views of a majority of the House. The impression seemsto be that a bill providing a House of Representatives of 311 members will be decided upon. 4 THE SCENES OF THE NIGHT SESSION were merely a repetition of those on former similar occasions. Members were dragged ia by the Sergeant-at-Arms in full dress, many being captured at the President's reception. The excuses of the absentees were, in many cases, exceedingly frivolous, and some were humorous. The end was, however, all were ex- cused and none were fined. NO EXTRA SESSION PROBARLE. Baving Fetes the AE ROrATomeay Dill ont of the way of the appropriation bills, there is now no talk of an extra session. The sundry civil ‘Dili will be passed by the House to-day, whi wiil leave only the deficlency bill to be disposed of by the House, and Mr. MacMahon, who has cbarge of it, says it ean be passed In a day. The House will take action on the fnnding bill to- morrow. NO PLAN AGREED UPON YET. The committe of five representaitves front each party appointed last night to confer upon the apportionment question with a view to recting a compromise, held a brief session te- Gay and adjourned until evening without arriving at aby understanding. ‘Whe Late Senator Carpenter. ‘The remains of Senator Carpenter will b2 deposited im a vault at Oak Hill Cemetery, instead cf the Congressional Cemetery. The family prefer Oak Hill. Semator Carpenter was a son-th-law of ex- Goy. Dillingham, of Vermont, who, with bis wife, left Waterbury last night for Washing- ton. The flags of Milwaukee, Wis., are at hall- Mast in respect to the memory of Senator Car. penter, apd a memorial demonstration wil take place in that city to-day. Mr. Carpente: iife was insured for $47,000, Im several com- panies The general belief in Milwaukee {s Ubat Angus Catneron or Horace Rublee will be chosen United States Senator to succeed him. The Wisconsin legislature has adjourned in respect to the memory of the Senator. As stated In yesterday’s Star, under the law of Congress his successor cannot regularly be elected until March 9th, the vacancy not having occurred during a recess of the legisla- ture, A dispatch from Madison says: “Tne sugges on has been made that the legislature adjourn after indicating its preference for Sena- tor, and permit the governor to appoint a suc- cessor. The question might arise, however, as to the legality of such appointment and action ‘by the legislature,” NO TRUTH IN THR CREMATION STORY. There {s no truth whatever ta the statement that Senator Carpenter expressed a desire to be cremated. Dr. William Fox, of Milwaukee, bis family physician, says that he was with him during the last days of his 1llIness and on many other occasions, and that he never heard an intimation from him to that effect. Oa the contrary, only a few days since he commended the burial service of the Episcopal Caurch. Other friends, as well as his immediate family, also procounce the story untrue, NaTIONSI Banks Continue to withdraw cireu- laticp.

Gen. Garfield’s Trip to Washington A Cleveland correspondent of the New York Times says: Gen, Garfeld’s secretaries are preparing 3 large packing cases of letters to be taken to Washington. The President-elect bas recetved S,000 or 10,000 letters since the Chicago convention, and takes with him only such as an be used in the future. All arrange- ments for the trip to Washington are in the hands of Judge Advecate Swaim. A special train will be made up, consisting of four or five cars, one of which will be for Gen. Garfield and family, one for guest of the family, one for baggage, and possibly one for correspondents of theleading newspapers. The train will be run on a pectall card, stopping only at im- portant points. West Virginia an Archipelago. The Trivune thinks that when the river and harbor bill has passed, West Virginia ought, for decency’s sake, to be put down in the geogra- phies a8 an archipelago at the very least.
