SECRETARY WINDOM’s PoLicy a8 TO REFUND ING Not DETERMINED Ysr.—In answer to Jesse Seligman and James Stewart, New York bank- ers, in regard to the probability of his selling $104,000 000 tours for refunding, Secretary Win- dom stated that he would not now enter foto nr gotlations on this subject. The policy to be pursued as 1 gards refunding had not yet been dstermined upon. MR, PELOUZ® GsTs Larr.—Mr. Pelouze, who Was the republican candidate for Congress In the Richmond (Va.) district last fall was in- duced, after taking the fleld, to withdraw in the interest of the readjuster candidate, Heary A. Wise. Mr. Pelouze has been in Washington for several days seeking the appointment of postmaster at Richmond. Yesterday he com- plained, so tt is stated, that he withdrew trom the Congressional race with the dist nct under- standing that he should have the Richmond post office. This promise was made by the re- adjuster leaders and approved by the leading republicans who favored @ coalition with the readjusters. In applying for the post office Mr. Pelouze found that the readjusters and re- publicans of Richmond had preferred another man to him. Hence his indignation, NAVAL ORDERS.—Capt. George Brown, trom the command of the Alaska, at Panama, on tae reporting of his relief, and ordered hom. Lieut. Commander J. E. Craig, Lieuts. J. G, Eaton and H. N. Manney, Master W. E.

THE New SENATOR FROM MAINE.—William P. Frye, who has been elected to the U. S. Senate for the rematuing two years of Secretary Blaine’s unexpired term, was born in Lewiston, Me., September 2, 1531. He is the son of John M. frye, a leading bustness man in the manu- facturing city of Lewiston. He was graduated at Bowdoin College in 1 id studied and practised law. He was sent to the State legislature in 1561, 1562 and 1887, and in 1566 and 1567 Was mayor of Lewiston. in 1567, isé5 and 1569 he was attorney general of the state. He was elected as a member of the na- Uonal republican executive committee In 1872, and was reelected in 1576. Mr. Frye was elected to the 42d, 43d, 44th, 45th, 46th and 47th Con- —— from og 2d oe ioe Maine by os majorities, and early in Ol onal career took @ prominent part in the proceed- ings tn the House. He was the choice of a large majority of the republicans of the House-elect for Speaker, and would, without doubt, have | been elected without opposition had He re- | malned in that body. Mr. Frye has, of course, made a notable success in the House tn his ten years’ service to give him this consideration, As a campaign speaker he is always In great demand, 25 he has the somewhat unusual com- Dination of pet ter of brilllancy, readi- bess and dept PERsoNAL.—Senor Don Marcial Martinez, the newly-appointed Chilean Minister at Washing- ton, arrived at New York from Aspinwall yes- terday.—A complimentary reception was ten- dered ex-Senator Hamlin in Bangor last night, All the pubife functionaries and prominent people of the clty were present, and highly complimentary speeches were made.—lIt is remembered now tbat Wendell Phillips called some time ago for an assassin tn Russia.— Mr. and Mrs. T.

THE EXTKA SKSSION QUESTION—TaREE APPOINT- MENTS CONSIDERED, The Cabinet convened at 12 o'clock to-day and the session, it ta believed, will bea long one, Among the matters to be presented for consideration, aud upon which the Presideds will desire au expression of tueir views, Is whether the financial status affords reason ible or suffictent grounds to render an extra session of Congress becessary or advisable. The ap- intments of United States maranal tor the ystrict of Columbia, governor of New Mexico aud Commumtssiouer of agriculture will also be considered. La‘er.—The session was only an hour long. ‘The matter of an extra session of Congress was discusted. but no final deefsion was reached. It ts uc derstood that the majority of the Cab- inet are In faver of an extra session, and that there is strong probability now of one being called. If Congress should be convened in extra session, 1t would hardly be called to- gether for forty or sixty days. Bad Show for Mr. Matthews. HIS PROSPECTS FOR A JUSTICESHIP DECIDEDLY BLU There now seems to be no flatterfng prospect of the confirmation of the nomination of ex- Senator Matthews as an assoclate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. As the new judiciary committee fs arranged, there {s only one mem- ber of it who will vote for his confirmation, Mr. Lamar, of Mississipp!. This leaves only one chance for Mr. Matthews, and that fs to have the committee discharged trom the further consideration of the nomination and get a direct vote on the nomination by the Senate, The impression 1s abroad. too, that the Presi- dent is apathetic as to whether he {s con‘irmed ornot. It is said he sent his name in because of a policy determined upon to renominate all of the oo made by ex-Presideat Hayes which fatied of confirmation at the last session. The friends of Mr. Matthews are ex- Soy, despondent, and have now but little hope of his confirmation. The Raid upon the Interior Departe ment. Z OFFICE SEEKIN ORES DISSATISFIED, ‘The politicians are already tinding fault with Secretary Kirkwood. They complain that he displays an indisposition to make changesas rapidly as they make recommendations. Tne policy oi the new Secretary 1s to move slow. ie truth Is he has been pestered to death with office bores, and amid such distraction it is no wonder he refuses to make wholesale changes until he feels his way a lUttle further along. One western member of Congress has been a dally visitor, seeking to have a nomination already made recalled. Because the Secretary refuses to comply with his request he ts voted by the aforesaid Representattve a failure. White House Callers. “OH! FOR THE TOUCH OF A VANISHED HAND.” There were comparatively few callers at the White House to-day. The Cabinet meeting at 12 o'clock shut off many who would otherwise have got tosee the President. The eight hour delegation and the board of managers of the National Soldiers’ Home, with Gen. McClellan at its head, were the only bodies that took the least semblance to a delegation. The ante- rooms were freer from the anxtous than on any day since March 4th last. Among the callers were Senators Saunders, Allison, Morrill, Lo- gan, Ingalls and Ferry, Representatives Crow= ley, Van Aernam, ea y Davis ce) White, Paws, Shalleatorger, acy, Speer, Ray, Pet- Ugrew, Hawk, Van Vorhis, ‘Urner, Robeson, Starin, Wiisor, (W. Va.), Bowman, Brewer and Potter. Hon. Levi P. Morton also called. On one of the cards sent {nto the President, read on the front, under the name, over,” and on the back, “President: Would like simply to see you and touch your hand.” ‘The Extra Session Boom. IT 18 LIKELY TO PREVAIL The impression is growing that an extra ses- Sion of Congress will be called in May. Prom- fi | inent republicans, who ten days ago had no ex Pectation that there would be one, tncline to the opinion now that the argument in favor of @ called session has been pressed with sac force upon the President that he recognizes the necessity for it. It 1s clalmed by Unsse whose financial authority 1s good that while the den: about maturing can be funded now with a 3 P.r cent bond, that by next wiater tt cannct sunded ata lower rate than four porcent. It {3 urged, therefore, that advantage shouid ve laken of the opportuntty now preseniet for a joan ata lower rate of interest than can b> hid six months hence, It 1s reported that Secretary Blaine, Vice President Arthur, and Senators Conkiiaz and Cameron, ail unite in the opinton that pabiic policy demands immediate legislation on the matter of funding the public debt. Nominations To-day. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Jullus T.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ADDITIONAL PENSION CLERES.—In view of the accumulation of work In the Pension ofiice, Congress just be- fore its adjournment passed a’ rellef measure, gran x the Commissioner of Pensions one undred and thirty additional clerks. These Places will probably be filled by Secretary Kirk- ‘wood next week. Provision must first be made for the accommodation of so large a number of clerks, the building now being oacupied by the Pension office beg already crowded. GENERAL Fosrgr, U. S. minister at Russta, has been notified by President Garfield that no change in the representative of the United States at St. Petersburg is at present contem- plated.

THR COMMITTBE FROM THE NAVY YARDS CALL ON THS PRESIDENT—THEIR STATEMENT—THE PRESIDENTS REPLY. ‘The committee from different navy yards !n- terested tn securing the enforcement of the elght-bour law for the benefit of government employes called upoa President Garflold thts morning by appointinent made yesterday. Rep- resentative Dezendort, of the Norfoik. Va,, dis- trict headed the committee, and acted as their Richard Emmons, Samuel Bates, . F. Benner, Jacob M. Davis, J.B. . C. Huntand J.W. Hodester were in the delegation. The interview was short. Repre- sentative Dezendorf stated the object of the visit. It was to secure the enforcement of the eleht-hour law in the navy yards. For nine years before Secretary Thompson made a day’3 work in the yards eight hours during the win- ter and ten during the summer season the elght- hour ruje was tn force, 1t was now in force In all other departments of the government ex- cept the navy. They wanted a return tothe rule under Gep. Grant. He argued that such Would be only simple justice. Men in the navy yards were entitled to a fall day’s pay for elght hours’ work the year round. President Gar- field asked several gentlemen about tue hours of work and the pay. Representative Dezen- dort answered them. Mr. Emmons asked It there was apy reason why the Navy Depart- Ment should ‘act difierently from the other branches of the government. The President did not reply directly to the inquiry, but ans- wered generally that the question presented to him was one to which he had not recently given careful attention. He would, however, give it his personal attention and every consideration, He advised the committee to see the Attorney General. The interview was then over. Facts From the Ceusus Tables. PROPORTION OF PLACK3 TO WHITBS—THE EXODUS MOVEMENT NOT APPRECIABLB, The census bureau has issued a bulletin giv- ing in detail the population of the United States classified by race. It shows the total population to be 50,152,566, of which 43,404,876 are white, and 6,577,151 are colored. The num- ber of colored persons to each 100,000 whites 1s 15,153, against 14 528 in 1 ‘The greasest pro- portion of colored to white 1sin South Caro- iia, where three-fifths of the whole are col- ored. In Loustana ana Misalssippl from one- half tothree-fifths are colored. In Alabama, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia the colored formed one- third to one-half of the total. In arkansas and Tennessee from one-fourth to one third of the total population is colored. The least pro- portion among the former slave states is West Virginia, where there are Dut 4,35% to 100,000 whites, and in Missourl where there are but 1,168, Outside of the former slave states the Proportion of negroes 1s very small, The great relative gains during the decade have apparently been made in the south—the former slaveholding states, Of the nine of these states which have gained, eight stand at the head of the list, having made relative ve ranging from 944 to nearly 11,000. It is eved by the Census office, however, that these apparent gains are due, in a great 'meas- ure, to the imperfections of the census of 1870, Under the conditions which prevatled at that ‘ume, it 1s probable that a much larger propor- tion of negroes were omitted than of whites, Of the former slave states which have lost, ‘Texas and Florida lead. Both these states have recelved heavy white immigration from other parts of the country, which has more than overbalanced whatever ‘gain in colored Population may have been made. They have been the scene of rapid ee and thus the relative decrease of blacks is to be ac- countea for, not by an exodus, or a dying out, but by an infusion of whites, The chang s in relative negro population in the de- cade between i570 and 1580 are also given. In the United States as a whole there has been a gain of 625 on an assumed basis of 100,000 whites. The movement of blacks in the north- ern and Western states has apparently, been of little comparative account. The migration of negroes has not attained such dimensions as to be perceptible, The states from which the ex- Odus principally took place—Missistppl, Lou- isiana and North Carolina—have ail apparently gained heavily Jn relative proportion of blacks, while Kansas, to which the major part went. has lost in proportion to Its increase in popula: Uon, and Indiana has gained but slightly.

Mr. Saulsbury made a short speech to call attention to the aif- ent conduct of the democratic and republican parties.

Mr. Garland demanded A VOTE ON BACH COMMITTEE. Mr, Pendleton withdrew the cali for the yeas and pays. Mr. Jonas renewed It, saying be Was grateful for nothing. He sald the demo- crats were satisfied that the repubilcans, after ilbustering two weeks, had obtained the com- mittees by questionable means. That a man who was elected as a democrat had been ob- tained, by some sort of means by the repubit- caps. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, thought the com- Mmittees liberal enough, but he voted no be- cause he believed the constitutional majority and right to name the committees belonged on the democratic side. Mr, Conkling.—Belongs on that side but votes on this side Mr, Hill said “yes.” Mr. Garland witadrew his motion for a sepa- Tate vote on each committee.

The Gemocrats say that as a democratic majority was elected to the Senate, the employ: 3 had no idea of a summary discharge, and therefore made no preparation for it; ‘that many of them Itve long distances from Washington,and justice as well as a proper regard for them, de- Tancs that they should be protected from im- Mediate discharge. The republicans are aware of this determination of the demo- crats. Senator Eémunds’ absence will ceprive the republicans of a quorum. even if Senator Davis, of Illinots, votes and the democrats need only withhold their votes to prevent actiop. Gn all business except a change of officers the democrats say they will vote, but that on this one cco tuney intend to fight it out if it takes all summer. It is said on good authority that all the democrats wiil stand together.
