CommMITTRE CLERKS.—It {s mot true as has been stated that republican Senators, chatr- men of committees, have discharged the ol democratic committee clerks whom they re-9 appointed at the commencement of tha extra session. With a single exception, the doden cr 80 democratic clerks of committees, who were reappointed, as above, still hold their places. TAKING THE OaTH.—Upwards of fifty of the newly appointed clerks in the Pension Ofice took the oath of office to-day before Chief Clerk Lockwood, of the Interior department.

GEN, STURGIS AND THE SOLDIFRS’ Home,—The Armyand Navy Register of this week says: General 8. D, Sturgis, colonel 7th cavalry, goes from here to St. Louis, where his family has been recently staying, and wtll remain there a short time before returning to Fort Meade. It has been determined, we understand, that {ft aby peeks is made tn the governorship of the Soldiers’ Home in this city, that Gen. Sturgis will be Gen. Potter's successor.

THE “Little GianTs” or THE Two HovsEs. Sevator Mahone, svon after his tit in the Senate with Hili, of Georgia, called oa Repre- sentative A. H. Stephens, and the champion light weights of the two houses of Conzres3 fell to comparing sizes. Mr. Stephens says he turns the scales at 93 pounds, and never was heavier, Mahone claims 109 pounds. The latter remarked that Mr. Stephens looked Jarger than bimself, but the other modestly replied that it was allclothes. While the Repre- Sebtative wears his very loose, the Senator Wears bis as close-fitting as possible. Ils coat sleeves are as tight as those of an ultra fashion- able lady of the present day, and his trousers are pleated In at the walst at the back, while the legs taper down to the ankles, showing a air of red stockings as thelr wearer moves. r. Stephens Sapieee great disgust for the Corruption which ls constantly made manifest in politics, and characterizes the contests be- tween the two parties as merely “a battle be- tween the ins and the outs.” As for bargain- ing, he says that it ts all a trade implted if not expressed in every election, from that of a con- stable up to the highest elective office, He Predicts that the great contest which 1s to come tn this country is to be that between the tax-payers and tax-consumers, and he pro- pozes to take the side of the former. THE UNLUCKY ¥irTa SECTION.—The fifth sec- tion of a three per cent funding bill appears to be unfortunate in the history of our finances, How history can repeat itself is evidenced by the following from John Quincy Adams’ diary, dated January ist, 1820, He mentions attend- ‘og a meetipg at’ the Treasury office of the commissioners of the sinking fund. Mr. Craw- ford, Secretary of the Treasury, “had tion started by Le Roy, Bayard & C York, who fancy that Congress have unawares entrapped themselves Into an obligation to pay off, at par, the three per cent stocks of the United States trom the proceeds of the Western Is, immediately after the old six per cent and Gsterred stock shal ave been all dis: charg ‘y made @ large speculation ‘Unis stock, which has raised ft from sixty-four to seventy-two per cent, uninking they have d'scovered a pledge for its redemption at par within a yery few weeks. 3. Supposed trap fg in the act of Congress of 4th August, 179); the first law by which the debts of the United States were funded under the present Constitn- tion. The wording of the ft and twenty- second sections of the law gives some counte- nance to this pretension, but 1t has never been 80 understood by Congress or by holders of the stock, and It is surely not now for sharping culators to come and t:ump up a claim never name of by the Original parties to the Dar- gain.” PERSOWAL.—Hon, Hiram Price, who has been nominated by the President as Commissiontr of Indian Affairs, is expected hereon Tuesday of next week.—-M.

Mr. Chandler and the Attorney Gen- eral. WHAT MB. CHANDLER'S FRIENDS SAY. Mr. Willlam E, Chandler, who haz been at Fortress Monroe for several days, has returned to Washington. Touching the antagonism of the Attorney General toward his nomination as solicitor general Mr. Chandler has nothing to say. His friends, however, are not at all chary about expressing thelr opinion. Sati one of them to-day: “The Attorney General 15 reported as having.said that Chandler fs no lawyer. This kind of talk ts all boan. If there Was a clvil service examination held for the office to which Mr. Chandler has been nomtna- ted, aud the Attorney General and Mr. Chan4d- ler were applicants, there is no eee inmy Mind but waat Chandler would distance the Attorney General in a legal examination. No lawyer, indeed! Why, he graduated at the head of this law class years ago, and was chat: man of the judiclary committee of the New Hampshire legislature away back 10 1552, aud Ad Subsequentiy chosen the speaker of that dy.” “Will he be confirmed 2” quoth Tak Star. “Tt all depends. If the democrats vote solidiy against him he probably willbe rejected, for Senator Cameron 1s against his confirmation. But I can tell you one thing; if he is rejecte1 the republicans of New Hampshire will vindi- cate him by electing him to the United States Senateto succeed Mr. Rolling. Mr. Chandler is making, ho effort to be confirmed, and is somewhat Surprised over the reports that the Attorney General has on the floor of the Son- ate advocated his rejection. He never sought the office and never asked forit If his ap- pointment ts conti:med he will fill it, and fi creditably, but he 1s not losing any slee) o7 the matter.” The Republicans of Alexandria County Havea Meeting. THEY DEFINE THEIR POSITION—THE QUESTION OF BNDOKSING MALIONK AND READJUSTERISM—RE3- OLUTIONS TO THAT EFFECT VOTSD DOWN—TUS TAIL MUST NOT WAG THK DOG—THE 83,' PUBLICANS WHO VOTED FOR GARFIELD MUST NOT SURRENDER TO THOSE WHO GAVS THE ELEC- TORAL VOTH OF VIRGINIA TO HANCOCK, In compliance with the cat!l of the republ!- can county committee of Alexandria county, the republicaus of Alexandria county assem- bled at Johnston's Hall, at Ariington, on Thursday evening, and elected Benjamin Austin chairman, and Robert W. Whiting'Secre- tary. The chalr stated the object of the meet- ing to beto defiue the position which the republican party of Alexandria county proposed to take in the spring and fall campaigns. Mr. RG. Cunningham, of Washington Dis- trict, ofered the following preamule and reso lution, (which were seconded by Mr. Sypbax, of Arlington district):—“in_ the ald manly stand taken by General Manone tn the Senate of the United States, we, ube repub- licans of the banner county of Virginia, In mass mneeting assembled, cordiatiy extend to him, and through him to the Hberty loving and ltb- eral minded of our state, our sincere congratu- jJations, and Ball tals new departure as the dawbing ofa brighter day for our grand old commenweaith, That regardless of party names we heartily endorse the poiltical creed of readjusterism 43 laid down and expoundad by .Senator Mahone, ho disfranchisement by capitation tax, no poliiic penal enactments. Free schools and full time, a fi, free and untramumelled ballot, ana a fair count, and that the maintenance of these principles by him in the face of determined obicquy and denuncia- ‘Ucn, violent intimidation and cowardly instou- ation on the floor of the U. S. Senate commands our admiration, and challenges our warmast support.” ‘Lhe adoption of the resolution was urged by Messrs.

BERNHARDT IN A SUNNY MOOD—SHR IS DELIGRTBD WITH WASHIXGTON AUDIENCES— CAN’: STAY TO SEE THE CITY NOW BUT WILL COME AGAIN. ‘The Stak reporter who was assigned to tn- terview Mile. Sarah Bernhardt once went to schcol. Among other things that he pretended to study there was French. He became very proficient in that language and could speak it 45 Well as his instructor, WhO was himseif an American. any rate the reporter they dismissed him for misconduct that there Was one thing in which he was certainly pro- ficient, and that one thing was the French language. Last evening he got out his Fas- jueile and “boned up” a little. He went to iiard’s Hotel this morning to beard the Bernhardt in her boudoir. His card went up and word came down to walk upstairs. Getting Out of the elevator the colored emissary showed the reporter into a tion room or parlor—a part of the suite which Mile. Bernhardt and ner train occupied. The room was furnished hand- somely, The sofas and divans were covered with old gold rep. There was que) A long walt before tnademoiselle appeared. The reporier was glad of it. Itgave him time to collect to- gether his French, which was rapidiy oozing out as the tme for its being put into active operation neared. By and bye the door opened from an adjoining apartment. It did not open wide enough for the reporter to see beyond. “BONG JOR,” said the reporter, bowing low, and speaking those words with the latest Parisian accent, as nearly as might be. Mlle Sarah looked a little startied, but came forward, holding out her hand, and there was & hearty shake, “Sit down, will you please.” She sald this much more rapidly than the young man had ever, in bis palmiest days, been in the habit of having French hurled at him. He managed, however, to grasp the idea that he was fnvited to sit down. Mille Gernhardt had seated herself in a commodious low chalr, The reporter looked as comfortable as {t was possible for a man located on the edge of a sofa, aud weighed down by his doubtful knowledge of French. Mile Sarah sat easily and gracetully, She wore a morning robe of gray. it swept the floor behind, and allowed easy play for her feet Iniront. The pockets were trimmed with bright red silk, a8 wa3 the skirt. Her hair, which 13 Jong and auburn—some say red—was loosely and artistically arranged back of the head. In front it was frizzed and fiufly. She had a large lace cofffure of white around her neck. A white lower was tucked In the hatr on the left side of {tbe head tn some way or other. Her eyes are bright and moving. There ts fun in taem. The sleeves of her robe were finished in lace, As she reclined in her chatr the toe of one white sitpper looked out. One of her acms lay alo’ the back of the soft chair. Theother, the right one, was in her lap, She looked very fresh. There 1s but litile color tn her face, the features of which are boldly outlined. The reporter did not see ail this exactly at this juncture. He tcok It in gradually. He had been think!ng of something in French to say. HER OPINION OF THE AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT. He concluded to stick to is vernacular, and asked: What did you think of your audience lastevening?” Mademotselie does her Engitsh very prettily, and it was only now and theu when she dropped entirely into French that the Teporter was stumped. “Oh!” she sald, “Twas delighted. I hope the people liked me.” ‘The reporter assured her that the people were Wild about her. “ | think,” said the slender lady, ‘that last ight’s audience was one of the most appre»! alive that J have played to in this couatr, There were any more people there without Ubrettos than J have met anywhere else, That did me good. I saw a3soon asi came onthe Stage thata large number of the people pr-sont NOt only saw the pantomixe but thoroagaly un- derstood every word that was uttered. That was a great helptome. Mon Dien! put sometimes there 1s not a singie people (she made that slip very prettily) who understand a word ot French. Will there be a crowd at th? mattace this arternoon?” ‘Tue reporter,somewhat to the lady's surprise, remarked that the weather would have to be very frigid when a good Saturday matinee tu Washington was not crowded—by (be ladies and children especially. She did not seem to catch the meaning concealed under the meta- phorof the youog man, for ske simply sat “You bewspapalre gentlemenz I do not qull yet make out,” . “There will be a great many children at the matinee this afternoon,” the reporter said, do- terimined to steer Clear of the colloquial there- afier if possible, children. ¢ ‘That wili be nice; vere nica, 1 P always to sce them when L play. Inspire me to try and make myself uaderstoou to every one.” Mile. Bernhardt’3s arms at the beginning of the interview looked very long to the reporter. He thought a couple or so of incaes could be spared from them, a&d tmprovement result. But the lady had now begun togest!culate. Tae arms no longer seemed of too many inches. They were just right. How gracefuliy su2 dtd use them! “Will you go out to-day and take a to: around our public building: inquired the re porter. SHE HOPES TO COME HRRE AGAIN. “No; I cannot. You see, I go from here to Baltimore directly after the matinee this after- noon, and play there this evening. I leave Bal- Umore Immediately atter the performance to- night, I hope to come back before I leave the country, and see your beautiful city. To-day would ‘not be very good for secing the sigats, would it?"—and the Bernhardt laughed and showed some very pretty teeth. “Your Stay in this country has been much longer than you expected, has it not?” asked THE STaR. But you see “i “Oh, yes; vere much longer. bave been very successful, and naturaily bot like to leave when doing what you call ze goot beesness.” And she laughed again. “The newspapers have hada guud deal of fan about you, mademolselle; does it offend you?” “Mon Dieu, non.

This one isfunny, {sit not?” She handed a newspaper clipping, which sald that when she looked on Niagara fails she exclaimed, “It comes down like hale.” Just then a maid put ber head through the door and asked something in French, the only word of which the reporter could understand was “cae.” He made his adieu, receiving another shake of the slender hand. When he came away he congratulated bimself that he had neither asked the lady how she liked the country or the people. - A Timely Short Catechium. “Miss Grundy” supplies to Tas Stak the following apropos short catechism for certain public functionaries, su; by the opinions expressed as to tbe of etiquette which should ate them In their intercourse with each other and the public, THE PRESIDENT: 70 . “Who gave you your position?” Pon: “My sponsors in the National Conven- ton wherein I was nominated, and the politicians who elected me to be their faithful servitor, to make appointments at their dicta- Uon, and to be snubbed by the ‘courtesy of the hy were you provided with a house Al 'That I may dine all the members of the dipiomatic corps, of both houses of Con- gress, of the Supreme Court and the Cabinet with their families, once a year, and all their iriends and constituents also, it I issue cards for apy other entertainment than a dinner, and that I and my wife also may receive vis- itors at hours to suit their convenience, not ours, and never discriminate between our private friends and absolute strangers.” TO A SENATOR: Q. “Who made you?” Ans. “My noble henchmen in the state I Q. “For what purpose?” Ans. ‘That I may reward their faithful ser- itments in my doctrine of ‘the courtesy of the Senate’ by rebuking the Prest- dent when he defies boss rule, not reporting upon his appointments, and always insisting upon first calls from’ and precedence ot ths and all others save Justices of the a Court, the President and Vice Presi- (The courtesy of the Senate’ means, in short, to demand detcrence but show nong save Where It will do the most good.)

CONQat A Provisional Government Estab- lished. Panama, March 30.—The Star and Hera’d’ Lima dispatch, of March 16, says:—Although the ex-dictator persists in the hopeless pretence ot tmp ee 3 Une struggle, matters are fast as- suming a quieter aspect than they have borne for a long Ume past. A provisional govern 2+ nt has been sworn in, and under arrangement with the Chillans has established {ts seat at Magda- Jena, where the Peruvian flag now fies. ‘This little village Is situated about two miles from Lima, The government was formally installed in office at Chey on the 12th inst, if the presence of a large concourse of persons. No oo formed at present could expect to very popular, yet I inust say the common sense of the majority 1s gradually surrounding Ube Magdalena executive with an amount of Prestige few bad anticipated it would have been able to acquire In such a short space of time. The important towns of Trujillo and Huaaca- vellca have already declared in tts favor; others will follow very shortly. Since the day of In- Stallation the labors of the government have been principally copfined to treating with the Chillans with reference to the war contribution of one million hard dollars per month. This contribution was imposed by a decree of Gen. Saavedra, issued on the 7th inst., {m2 which he Stated that if the money had not been paid by the 17th inst. by fifty gentlemen whom he designated be shouid proceed to de- suroy property of theirs of the value of three Umes the $20,000, which thus fell to the lot ofeach one, During the first few days little tienuoh Was pald io the matter, but as the term grew shorter anxiety commenced to be exhibited, the provisional government gave the matter ali its attention, and finally a pubite | a meeting was called of forelgn and native mer. chapts for Uie purpose of seeing if an effort could not be made.to prove to the Chilian com- mander that an cfort was contempiatei 10 comply with bis demands. About four hunared gentlemen consequently assem | bled in the union ¢: where they | were ret by the mt er of the treasury Who made a short speech, stating that the pro yisloval coverpment owed Its existence to th most pitiful stiuation th which a country hat ever been placed; that “the extensive ralir. loans bad caused the complete financial ruin of Peru,” which was followed by the loss of riches accumulated by work and industry, and now | 17 by the war with Call, which has bees carried | ficer, pone on with the few resources which remained In the possession of men of law andorder. He then complained that many Peruvians do noi see the chasm which yawns beneath their feet, and that al aby moment the destruction of property of great value may complete the ruin ofall, by reductbg to nothing edifices and — which have already much dimintsed in value. Senor Denegri accepted the right of the Chilians to exact the contribution and suggest- edaloan. A sum was raised which enabled tne provisional government to tender a payment on Account on the following day of nearly a quarter of a million of hard doliars,and to offer to pay the remaining three quarters of a ml'- lon within amonth. This offer was accepted by Gen. Scavetra, The Chillan authorities do ae intend to grant a further extension of time. Earthquakes at Chio.
