C. M. Terrell, and after thoroughly Investigating them has decided that no wrong has been done the government by that ofticer. nor has any Joss been sustained. and that no further consideration shall be given to the charges. This decision gives great satistac- Uon In army circles. SENATOR McDILL was a member of the Forty- third and Forty-fourth Congresses from Iowa. He rtcelved a nomination for the Forty-fitth Congress, but declined ina letter saying that the Salary of a Congressman was too poor to Maibtain himself and family in this city, and that be was too rich in his happy famlly Yo re- main bere with his household away. THE NOMINATION OF STANLEY Matrugw3.— No action will be taken on the nomination 0 ex-Serator Matthews for the vacant Supreme Court judgesh'p until the committees of the Sevate are organized. The nomination will then be referred to the judiciary committee, ot which Senator Edmunas will be the chairman. It 1s sald that Senator Edmunds 1s opaosed to his confirmation. snd also Judge Davis, of Iilfr ols, who will bea member of the judiciary momittee, Ex-ConGRESSMAN Rsk, of Wisconsin, {s In the city and will doubtless receive a good ap- polntment if he desiresone. General husk, who was a delegate to the Chicago republican convention, engineered the break im the Wis- consin delegation to President Garfield and eventually secured for him atthe right time the soild Vote of the delegation. AT THE DownTOWN DgrakTMENTS to-day the office-seekers seem to have taken a fresh starf. In the waiting-rooms at the Post Office depart- ment there was quite a crowd, including ex- Senator Bruce and a colored delegation. They called to pay their respects and look around meanwhile. Secretary Kirkwood, too, had a number of callers, for the most part members of Congress from the west. It seems to be set- Ued that Gen. Charles Grosvenor, of Athens, Onto, ts to be appointed solicitor of the Interior department, vice McCammon, who will be pro- vided for elsewhere. THE NATIONAL BoaRp HEALTH to-day recelved advices from Rio de Janeiro, showing that for the week ending February 5th there had been 16 deaths from yellow fever, 2 from Small-pox and 5 from pernicious fever. The leaths from all causes aggregated 224, The Dopalation 1s 330,000. During the week ebruary 12th,’ there were 19 deaths from yellow fever, 9 from pernicious fever and 225 from ail causes. Yellow fever was reported as increasing. PRESIDENT GARFIBLD'S PRIVATE SECRETARY.— Mr. J. Stanley Brown hasten appointed private Secretary to President Gartield. Mr. Brown was formerly stenographer to Major Powell, of the Smithsonian Institution, and went with General Garfield in the same capacity while the latter was stl! i the House of Representatives. Mr. Brown was at Mentor di Uhe campaign, and has been acting as President Garfleld’s secretary since the Inauguration, although Col. Rogers has nominally held that position. Mr. Brown js a young man about 24 years of aze, and his sppotntinent is very gratifying to those whose businéss involves the making of frequent Visits to the Exe cutive Mansion. Wares Epw WERE PENNY BooTH AND JOHN S. CLARKE cToss.—It may not be generally | Known that the two greatest American stars that have ever won renown in England are brother’s-in-law, and were friends, playmates ard schoolmates tn childhood. They acted to- gether also in cellars and kitchens, charging one cent admission, and Old Towa tn Baltimore abounds in lovers of the drama who went their last penby to see Booth as Richard and Clarke as Kichmund. And when the latter uttered the lines “If Richard’s fit to live let Richmond fall,” and drew his hoop-fron sword in defiance,’ the bey audiences would yell in sympathetic ecstacy, making a clamor Only to be surpassed when Booth fought lying on the stage with the stmulated desperation of despair. “Clarke al- ways wistedto beat jan, but the fates Willed it otherwise. It is strange that this couple, who swore eternal friendship in the first decade of their lives, should now hold the proudest positions of their profession on the ao speaking stage, representing tragedy comedy in 1t$ highest expression.

SENATE ORGANIZATION, The Situauon To-day. CROWDED GALLERIES. The Senate galleries were again crowded to- day In evident anticipation of something lively taking place on the question of organization, Crowds of men and women began to throng the corridors and press for admission to the galle- res before 11 o'clock, and were on hand as arly as 10. The Senators of both sides were somewhat laggard. not more than forty being ep when the Vice President rapped to or- er. According to the custom of the past sev- eral days all eyes from the gallertes were turned upon the desk of Senator Mabone, The Senator Was hot in Ris seat, but a bouquet, smaller than Ube One of yesterday ornamented his desk. FAILURE OF A MOTION TO ADJOURN. ‘The resolution of Senator Pendleton, in rela- ton to the organization, was promptly reached, and Senator Cameron, of Pa., moved to adjourn. He withheid bis motion at the request of sey- eral Sepators who desired to submit resolutions, but renewed it as soon as the resolutions were submitted. Mr. Pendleton demanded the yess and bays on the motion to adjourn, which was defeated by a vote of 25 yeasto 35 nays, Mr. Mahone was nct present and did not vote. FILLIBUSTBRING. Mr. Cameron next moved to go into executive session, which was also defeated by a vote of 32 yeas to 34 nays, Mr. Mahone havingjcome In just in Ume to vote “aye” with the republicans. ‘These motions indicated the determination of the republicans to continue their policy of forcing delay. Mr. Cameron next moved 10 ad- journ until Friday. THE DILATORY MOTIONS were continued, and a remark from Mr. Dawes that !t was the democrats themselves who aq- journed yesterday, called forth a protest from Mr. Saulsbury, who said it was the republicans Who obstructed business; that no business could be done in executive session before the commit- tees are formed. In the last days of the last Congress, when the democrats wanted to go into executive session to confirm the nomina- {ons of the then President, the republicans peau it by filibustering. Mr. Cameron, of Pa., Said his motion was sincere; that he earn- estly desired to go into executive session to at- tend to business now wanting to be dis- posed of. SPARRING. Mr. Groome started up, and sald that if the Tepublicans would consent to the formation of the committees he would assure them that an executive session would be immediately or- dered. Mr. Saulsbury reminded Mr, Cameron that the first motion of the latter this morning Was Lo adjourn; that therefore his desire to £0 on With the business was not apparent. Mr. Dawes replied to Mr. Saulsbury, charging thst the democrats were governed by a desire to fill the offices; that an executive message Was on the Vice President’s table, that could be considered In executive session with- out the Committees. He sald that the desire to fill a few paltry offices was the cause of all the deiay. Mr. Beck sald 1t had been apparent for several days that the Senate was not to be per- mitted to Organize until the present minority has the very probable opportunity to become the majority. The dilatory motions of the re- publicans were thoroughly understood every- where and Ly everybody. He belleved that the republicans ought to have the Senate as well as the other parts of the government, and take all the responsibility. He was willing to wait until the republicans got all their seats filed, ard therefore he moveg to adjourn. ADJOURNMENT. Several republicans.—‘* Move to adjourn unti Friday.” Mr. Beck.—‘No, I cannot get the consent of a number of gentlemen on this side todo‘that.” The Senate then adjourned unui to-morrow. THE NEW DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE LIST. The caucus committee appointed yesterday to revise the lists for democratic membership of the Senate committees completed their labors this morning and will report to another caucus meeting this afternoon. The committee have chabged the proposed democratic membersnip from a majority to a minority representa'ion by dropping (as a i. rule) the fifth name from each of the lists now embodied in the pending resolution of Mr. Pendleton. They re tain Mr. McPherson for appointment on the finance committee and drop Mr. Grover, thus Laming as the democratic members of that Committee Messrs. Bayard, Voorhees, Beck and McPherson. REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TO DAY. ‘The republican Senators have also gone into calicus this afternoon, with the purpose, it 1s sald, of selecting new officers for the Senate. Later.—The rumor that the republican Sena- tors Intended to proceed to the selection of Candidates for the Senate offices this afternoon appears to be unfounded. The caucus mee- ing up to3o’clock p.m. has been devoted 19 the work of finally adjusting the republican committee membership, The New Deal in the Senate. CANDIDATES AND PROSPECTS, ‘The question who shall fill the Senate offi:es will not be definitely settled until the Senate committees have been ben organized, but it is believed that Gov. George C. Gorham will get his old place of secretary of the Senate, and that Mr. James R. Young will also regain his position as execiitive Clerk. As regards the place of sergeant-at-arms it 1s understood that Uhe man named by Senator Mahone will get it. It has been stated that ex-Congressmaa Criteher. of Virginia, a prominent readjuster, was the candidate of Gen, Mabone, but another report has it that Mr. Stith Boll{ng, of Peters- bare, is really his man for the place. Coupled with this statement 1s the report that Mr. Bol- long, who ts a man of wealth, does not care for the place. According to the talk at the Capitol Mr. Robert Blaine, brother of the Secretary of State, will get one of the eligible position’ in the Fecrelary’s office when the republicans take full control Mr. Blaine, it will be remeni- bered, was removed from a Senate position by Sergeant-at-Arms Bright. White House Scenes. THE CALLERS TO-DaY—FrRED, DO OF THY COMMITTEE WHO CALLET SUCCESSOR, The White House ts rapidly dropping down tothe reguiar routine, There were to day not more than the usual run of callers during the busy ceacon. There were many callers, but there always are many whea the President is at the White House. Some of the old stagera, who have been Walting many days to see the President “on business,” now pretend that they want to get in just to pay respects and then talk business to the President. ‘This little scheme has been seen through, and the “re- spects” caller 1s subjected to a cross-examinz- Uon by Charlie Lafler. Among the first to putin an appearance this morning was the committee appointed at the mass-meeting of colored citizens last evening, (reported else- where), to wail upon the President in behalt of J. ‘f. Johnson as Marshal Douglass’ successor, While they were waiting down stairs, Marshal Douglass passed them and went upstairs to an immediate audience with the President. Ex- Secretary Delano called with a friend. Several members of Congress brought friends with them. Joseph Hodgson, who wants to return as superintendent of the District workhouse, called. Among the morning's callers were Senators Hill Gol). Allison, Morrill, Platt (8:32) Hawley, Pluinb, Sewell, Hale, Mitchell, Davis (11), Blair and Brown,and Kepresentattves Jorgensen, Dezendorf, Pettibone, Townsend, Ryan, Marsh, Van Vorhis, Carpenter, Deering, Van Aernam, Tyler, Bisbee, Speer and Moore, Montgomery Blair called with the Rev. W. Foster Morrison. At 120’clock the committee in behalf of Johnson was received. Mr. Smith acted as spokesman and laid Johnson’s claims before bim, also citing the action of the meet- ing last night. The President sald he would give the matter consideration. Among those who came this afternoon were General Tyner, ex-Secretary Morrill and Rep- resentatives Hazleton, Pound, Burrows, Bio) ham and Henderson. Shortly after 12 o'clock the President recetved in a lump all who were in waiting to shake hands. Nominations To-day. ‘The President sent the following nomina- tons to the Senate to-day: 8S.

Mr. Frye will bave to wait until they reach here on Thursday night and ba sworn tn on Friday. It now looks reasonabiy certain that the republicans will secure control of the Senate this week. Requiem Mass for Alexander It. IMPRESSIVE SERVICE AT TION. Requiem mass for the assassinated Czar was celebrated at the Russian legation in this city yesterday afternoon. The parlors of the house were hung in biack. The windows were closed and the darkness only slightly relieved by tow gas jetsin chandeliers draped in black. Tue smejl of Incense pervaded the whole house. In the say window stood a low table covered wich. an altar cloth. Upon it were three candies and the Greek crucifix. ‘There were no chairs in theroom. Those eee ‘stood In solemn rows slong the walls. The membersof the diplo- matic corps attended in fulldress. The effect ef their gaudy costumes was subdued by the faint light and the pall-like surroundings, The members of the Turkish legation wore crap3 over the gold on their uniforms. A number of ladies were presept. Secretaries Lincotn and Blaine of the Cabinet were In attendance. There were also in the room near the wali Fathers Bjerring and Laponchin, priests of the Greek church. At 4 o'clock Father Bjerring Stepped to the altar with his face to the audi- ence. Father Laponchin stood at his left. The former swung a censor several times and then laid itastde. The priests then turnea thelr backs to the audience and began the mass. Father Bjerring was dressed in a black velvet Tose heavy with gold adornments: upon his head was the mitre of the Greek church Father Laponchin, his assistant, was dressed in the black and gold_gown, but bis vestments Were bot s0 rich as those of the celebrant; he Wore nothing upon bis head. The voices of both were full and rich. They rose and fell while chanting the massin regular cadence abd with musical feeling. Whenever the name of the assassinated Emperor was mentioned the Pilests bowed low and the membersof the Turkish legation crossed themselves. A short passage in the celebration was read in Haglish ‘with the rolling r’s of the foreigner. The mass coLeluded with the sudden turning around of the priest and his assistant. The former heid high the crucifix and invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon all those present. In the Senate To-day. PUBLIC BUILDINGS—MEXICAN CORRESPONDENCE— A SKIRMISH ON ORGANIZATION, AND AN EAKLY ALJOURNMENT, The organization resolution was called up, whereupon Mr. Cameron (Pa.) moved to ad- Journ, but ylelded to Mr. Vest, to offer resolu- ton requesting the President to communicate to the Senate the correspondence and accom- Papying documents between the governments ofthe United States and Mexico during the years 1859 to 1sé1, inclusive, in reference to the proposed treaty betweep;sald governments, and also the correspondence ‘during said years be- tween the State Department and the Unitea States Minister at Mexico, in reference to any propesed convention or treaty between the wo governments, Adopted.
