Tchirnnieff, and a vigilant search was bieng made for the second cutter by the na- tives on the coast. ‘Tue Navy PAYMASTER GENERALSHIP.—Sccretary Chandler to-day said that the report that the Pres- ident had requested him to select an officer for nomination as paymaster general, and that he will be guided by seniority, is incorrect. The selection of that officer will be ‘made by the President and the Secretary of the Navy jointly. As yet. how- ever, noone has been decided upon to fil that office, which has been vacant since August last, but the nomination may be looked for before a great while. ‘The name of Pay Director Cunning- am is mentioned as most likely to be selected. ‘Tue EXCURSION SEASON.—The Treasury depart- ment will soon issue a circular to officials within its jurisdiction reminding them of the rules and instructions laid down for the prevention of ove erowding-of excursion and pleasure boats, and re- quiring “frequent and thorough inspections “of hem.

Mr. Howard WILLIAMs has qualified as steward of the White House, and has entered upon the dis- charge of his new duties. ‘Tae SMIPHERD INVESTIGATION.—The House com- mittee on foreign affairs held an informal meeting this morninz—a quorum not being present—and decided to hold a meeting to-morrow afternoon for the purpose of reviewing the testimony taken by the sub-committee in New York, and to deter- mine what matters they will question Mr. Ship- herd upon. All of the members of the sub-com- mittee have returned to this city except Mr. Kas- son who is he to-day. Mr. Shipherd has been summoned to appear before the committee on Wednesday at 10 o'clock. SUPERINTENDENT OF THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY.— It has not yet been decided what officer will be detailed to fill the office of superintendent of the naval observatory, made vacant by the death of Rear Admiral John Rodgers. Heretofore it has en customary to detail an officer of the line to fill that office, Dut there is a probability that the selection will now be made from the corps of pro- fessors of mathematics. In case the se- lection is made from the line officers, it 1s likely that Admiral Wyman, who was recently detached from command of the North Atlantic station, will be chosen, although a strong effort is being made in behalf of Commander Sampson, who fs now in charge of the observatory. Dr. Joseru DEANE Barnes, acting assistant sur- geon United States army, died Saturday after- noon at his residence, No. 2136 Pennsylvanta ave- nue,of dropsy of the heart.

There is but little doubt that the Court in Gen eral Term will affirm the rulings of Judge Cox in the case of Guiteau, but the decision will not be announced this week. Probably it will be deliv- ered next Monday. Some claim that the judges were a unit from the first; but there are grounds for bel that there was some difference of inion in the consultation room last Saturday; at one of the judges took the ground that fas an error committed in admitting Mrs. Dun- mire’s and another at first with ow! a {ectiod 28 to mre Danmires, AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY.
