The city wore a holiday appearance to-day in honor of Washington’s birthday. The public offices were closed, and also a good portion of private business houses, Flagsare flying patrioti- cally from prominent bufldings,and the only place where patriotic sentiment had to give way to bus- iness was at the Capitol, as the expiring Congress has no time to spare for festivities. The day was observed by the oldest inhabitants In an old fash- foned way, and a military parade was planned for the afternoon. ‘The Oldest Inhabitants. HOW THE VENERABLE PATRIOTS OF THE CITY OB- SERVED WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY—SOME REMI- NISCENCES OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE CITY. ‘The members of the Oldest Inhabitants’ Society, who fondly cherish the patriotic observancesof the anniversaries of great events In the early history of the republic, assembled at 11 o'clock to-day in thelr rooms at the Corcoran building to honor the memory of Washington, It has been customary in years past to have an old fashtoned celebration with an oration and readings from Washington’s farewell addr To-day the formal oration was omitted, as no arrangement was perfected to secure an orator. About thirty mei- bers, representing every age, from the Youngster of 50, 10 the matured oldest_ inhabitant Of four score and more,were present. ‘Thick walk- goll-rimmed spectacles, furrowed nd frosted hair were characteristic of the "y. Some of the members wore badges, nd-blue rosettes and other patriote favors. Mr. Jenkins Thomas, the president, In calling the meeting to order, made some remarks, explaining ins absence from the recent meeting G with oh account of the condition of nis nealth. Uanked the Lord that he was able to mee the assoclation on another 2d or February. John R. Condon and Mr, Wm. A. Bo elected members. '§ TIME AND OURS CONTRASTED. Mr. George A. Bohrer was then introduced by the president for the purpose of reading from Washington’s farewell address. Mr. Bohrer ina few introduetory remark e of the fatherly care exercised by the go nt over the people of this District th Washington's time,and contrast- ed It with the present, wien, he said, the govern- ment Is borrowing alt'the mduey it cn at 3 per cent, and our taxpayers who are delinquent are ‘ged 2 per cent a montiy and have virvually to forteit their property at tie end of four years if they tail to pay. Mr.Bohrer then read from Wash- Ington’s letter to the governors and his farewell address seutiments of patriotism and justice which he desired to impress upon his jarers. ‘The sen- Uments were greeted, as ticy are every year, With applause. MR. CALLAN'S PAPER. Mr. Nicholas Callan, the secretary of the soclety, being called upon by the president, read a paper glving a brief sketch of Washington’s life and Political achie Tepublic, He closed by remarking nessed the laying of the stic shaft now In the all wit- corner-stone of that ma— J progress of erection in our city. May we live now to hear the last word of the architect, ‘the work is complete, the monument 13 finishe 1, the last blow has been struck; may it last lorever.” ‘The memory of Gen. Washington will live as long as freedom has a votary.” A PATRIOTIC POET OF THE OLDEN TIME. Mr. E. Goldsborough Bruff then being called Upon, said that In looking through his library the other day he was surprised to find that In 1789 we had a patriotic poet by the name of Samuel Knox, residing at Bladensburg. In a volume calied “The American Museum,” published in Philadel- phla in 1789, he found an ode to Washington by Knox. He then read the ode. A SPIRITED ADDRESS. Mr. Francis McNerhany was then introduced by Mr. Bohrer, and made a spirited addross. After paying an eloquent tribute to Washington, he ob- served that George Washington and the men who were associated with him foresaw all we enjoy to- aay. In proof of this he referred to the plan of Washington citys OTHER REMARKS. Mr. Wm. Beron made some remarks upon the fact that no dlags were raised to-day on the public schools, Mr. Jenkins Thomas observed that there were two members present—Messrs. N. Callan and Sera- phim Misl—who were among the original mem- ers of the association. Rem arks were also made by Mr. Wm. H. Tenney and others. ‘The society then adjourned. The Military Parade. ‘This afternoon the military of the city madea parade in honor of the day, and passed in review before President Arthur and General W.T.Sherman at the White Hotise. The line was formed at the armory of the Washington Light Infantry about 2:30 o’clock p. m., and shortly the word to march ‘was given and they proceeded up the avenue in the following order: Washington Light Infantry, Col W. G. Moore, commander, headed by Shroeder’s band. ‘The,four companies were commanded by Lieutenants Dal- ton, Ross, Goddard and Miller.

CONGRESS TO - DAY. STON. WORKING ON THE APPROPRIATION BILLS, Immediately after the reading of the journal to- day tue Senate, on motion of Mr. Kellogg, went into executive session. The session was very brief. When the doors were reopened Mr. Morrill presented the remon- strance of certain American authors against the reduction of the tariff on books below 2 per cent, one of them, Mr. Stedman, saying “in the absence of an International copy-right law I am compelled to sign this.” Mr. Garland called up the resolution offered by ; him yesterday for the ee of a spectal committee to examine and report upon the methods of improving the navigation of the Mississippi river below Cairo, and It was adopted. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Hale called up the naval appropriation bill, and the Senate proceeded to consider It. ‘Mr. McPherson said he understood that 1t was the intention of the committee reporting the bill that it should not disturb tn any way the status of any of the officers of the navy, and asked Mr. Hale whether that intention had been embodied In the biil. Mr. Hale replied that that was the Intention of the comiittee. All legislation attempted by the House had been struck out. The provision that no part of the money appro- priated tor “general care, increase and protection of the navy in the line of construction and re- pair,” &e., sh: ed to the repairs of any wooden ship when the estimated cost. of such re- pairs shall exceed 25 per cent of the estimated cost of a new ship of the same size and like mate- Tial, gave rise to debate. Mr. Jones (Fiorida) criticised it as an extraordt- Rary provision, one which might be so construed as to destroy every available wooden ship in tie navy. NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. ‘The Senate In executive sesston to-day confirmed Algernon S, Badger to be collector of customs for the disiriet of Louistana, House of Representatives. ‘Mr. Haskell offered a resolution tn the House to- day providing that during the remainder of the session it shall be tn order on any day after the morning hour to move to suspend the ruies to take from the Speaker’s table any revenue or general appropriation bill and ask for a conference with the Senate thereon, such motion to be decided by amajority vote, Reterred to the committee on Tules.

THE “ PORTLAND” FLATS EXTENSION. Mr. Morrill to-day submitted 11 the Senate a res- olution, which was adopted, directing the District comm tice to inquire whether the extension of the building known as the “Portland” is being erected ‘upon any portion of the adjacent public reserva- ton, and, if so, by what authority. THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTES had no meeting to-day.

In the House yesterday afternoon, as mentioned in Tug Star, Mr. Beltzhoover offered an amend- ment to the sundry civil bill to send back to their regiments the higher officers of the signal bureau, He made a severe attack upon the bureau and upon Gen. Hazen, and intimated that it is as badly managed now a8 when Howgate was there. He said he had been informed that Howgate's peou- lations amounted to $609,000, and criticised Gen. Hazen for not having prosecuted Howgate. He also denounced Hazen for “lobbying,” and work- ing up public sentiment by sending out employes of the bureau. He wanted to print in the some letters about Gen. Hazen. ‘Mr. payin of Ohio. objected to Mr. Beltzhoover printing in the Recora anything that he did not utter asa part of his speech. Mr. Taylor dwelt an Hazen’s gallant service as an officer. He said ‘azen was in no way responsible for Howgate’s escape. The matter was djscussed at some length, Messrs.
