Now that Senator Lamar seems to have been selected as a member of the next cabinet, the question of his successor becomes a matter of some interest. As the Mississippl legislature Is not in session, and will not assemble until next winter, the governor of the state will have au- thority to fill the vacaney. It isgenerally under- stood among the leading Mississippians here that the governor will appoint Gen. Walthall, a prominent lawyer of that state.” Gen, Walthall is one of the most intimate and valued friends that Senator Lamar has. He has refused oppor- tunities to attain prominent political positions because he would not enter into any sort of scramble for place. When the present Senator George was elected it was generally admitted that Gen. Walthall could have won the place had he consented to engage in acontest and pull wires. He fs not unlike Mr. Lamar in some respects, He maintains that office should seck the mah and not man the ofljce, and he hi practised that prineipte. He is a man of decided ability, and will take high rank In the Senate. — soe Office Seekers Flocking to Washington. ASPIRANTS FOR POSITIONS IN THIS DISTRICT. Democrats in pursuit of office, under the i coming administration, are beginning to arrive in numbers. Each and every aspirant is armed with petitions and recommendations of various kinds. For the principal positions here in the District, the indications are that there will be no lack of applicants. For the marsbalshi according to ramor,the contest still remains 1 tween Mr. Hensel, chairman of the democ state committee ‘of Pennsylvania, and Gen, Farnsworth, of Albany, adjutant’ general on Gov. Cleveland's staff. “The veneral impréssion is that Gen. Farnsworth will succeed Marshal McMichael.” For recorder of deeds, Mr. Thomas J. Luttrell has succeeded in obtaining numer ous endorsements. For public printer, Repro- sentative Rozers, of Butlulo, and Mr IL. D, Melntyre, secretary of the’ National’ Jockey club, are actively in the fiel Both men are practical printers.

Vance, of North Carolina, Mon- day evening delivered tne annual address before the Confederate Maryland Line Association of Baltimore, on“The Last Days of the War in North Carolina.” Mr. Vance said, according to the report of his speech in the Baltimore Sun, that he had chosen to speak about. the closing seenes of the war, the grand culmination of which happened in North Carolina, for the rea- son that most of them came within his personal knowledge at that time, he bei governor of the state. He suid of General Sherman's ad- ¥ance through South Carolina in. February 1865, that when a general organizes a corps of thieves and plunderers as a part of his invad- ing army, and licenses beforehand their out- rages, he and all who countenance, ald or abet, invite the exeeration of mankind.’ This pecut Har arm of the military service, the “Barhmer ,” it is charged and believed was instit ted by Gen.

His language In this connection was: “In short, when I say that the terms offered us by Gen. Sherman would have saved the south the horrors of re- construction, I have suid all that human elo- quence is capable of saying; and I feel inclined. to forgive Gen.

Mr. Allison submitted the conserence report on the army appropriation bill, and said the conferees had agreed to all differences except that relating to courts-martial in time of peace. ‘The House provision, he said, so amended the 4th article of waras toenable courts-martial to control the hours of their own session, instead of being limited, as now, to the hours from 8 am. to3 p.m, Mr. Sewell.—The 94th article at present re- quired a court-martial to sit from 8a. m, tb 3 p. m., except where the officer ordering the courtmartial deemed otherwise proper. The change proposed by the House, Mr. Sewell said, would leave the matter of hours in the hands: of a number of oflicers who might sit and smoke their cigars as many hours as they please to the neglect of other important and necessary du- BIR. INGALIS SHARPLY CRITICISES THE PRES- IDENT IN RELATION TO THE SWAIM COURT- MARITAL. Mr. Ingalls availed himself ofan apportunity offered by a clause in the conference report on the army appropriation billchanging the hours for the meeting of courts-martial, to severely criticise the recent trial of Gen.Swaim and to arraign the President for the part he took in it. Mr. Ingalls charged that the findings of the court-martial had been returned for the pur- pose of procuring: a more violent verdict against the defendant. He pronounced the proceedings of that trinla disgrace to civiliza- ton. He said that the pressure brought to bear upon the court was not in the interests of justice, but for the purpose of compelling, a inore rigid verdict against the accused. But he said thatreturning the finding of the court twice was not sufficient; that finally when the verdict was accepted, it was returned to the court with most offensive epithets applied tothe defendant, describing him asa pensioner upon the government. Lf, said Mr. Ingalls, the Senate 4s to deal with courts-martials at all, he wanted to take up more serious and important phases ofthe subject than the hours of sitting. He wanted to insist that court-martials should not be subject to external influence. Mr. Ingalls’ criticisms pppled’ to the Pres- Agent who had returned findings of the court MR. SHERMAN SHARPLY CRITICISES THE JUDGE ADVOCATE OF THE COURT. Mr. Sherman criticised the judge advocate of the Swaim court-martial. He said it was a shame and an outrage that.an official who was really a prosecuting attorney should be permit- ted to be practically a part of the court; that he aurticipated in its secret councils, using his in- uence As a prosecutor there, and naturally getting hold of information as to the temper, feeling of the court, ete., which could be usec ageinst the accused, while the latter and his counsel were rigidly excluded from all such knowledge. If these were the functions of a Judge advocate, Mr. Sherman prayed God to deliver him from the hands of a court-martial. Mt. DAWES CONDEMNS THE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Dawes regarded the proceedings of the Swaim court as a reproach to the administra tion of Justice forall time to come, He thought it trifling to talk of the hours of sessions of a court-martial, while the press was. peborung, $3 it this morning reported, things that would be a disgrace to American justice for all time. Better had it been if the Swaim court-martial had never been convened than to have afforded to the p ple of the United States the spectacle presented this morning—shocking every man’s Sense of justice, House of Representatives. ‘The Speaker laid before the House a commu ion recommending the appropriation of $25,000 for the revenue marine service in Alaska, Referred. ' Mr.Geddes (Ohio), from the committee on war claims, reported the bill making appropriation for the payment of the Fourth of July claims, Comittee of the whole. APPROPRIATION BILIS. Mr. Townshend (I1l,) asked unanimousconsent to take from the Speaker's table for reference to the committee on appropriations the Post Office appropriation bill, with Senate amendments, but Mr. Payson (111,) objected. Mr. Burnes (Mo.) nfoved to suspend the rules and pass the deficiency appropriation bill, with various amendments reported from the commit- tee on appropriations. The following were the Important amend- ™ents reported and incorporated in the bill: ppropriating $238,448 to pay Judgmenta ren- A by the Court of Claims, “Appropriating $162,340, together with unexpended balances, for the completion of the new erulsers and dis patch boat. Abolishing the office of the tenth census, and providing that the work of the cen- st hit be completed in the office of the Secre- tary of the Interior, Mr. Burnes (Mo.) called the attention of the House to the fact that of all the appropriation bills; the deticiency bill was the safest to under the suspension of the rules. Noobjection could be made to it for what it contained; the only objection could come from those gentle- men who did not think that it eontained enough, There might be some meritorious claims which were not incorportied in the bill, but if that were so the omission could be sup plied in the Senate. Mr, Reed (fle. ‘thought that some reason should be given why it was proposed to pass the bill in this extraordinary way. The represen- tatives of the people ought not to be told by the appropriation committee that they can go to the Senate to have their claims passed upon. Mr. Cann (iL) thought that perhaps the wisest thingthat could be done at this stage of the session was to pnss the bill under a suspen- sion of the rules. ‘This was a much better bill than the one last year, and though that was not high praise it was some, The committee on appropriations had omitted many appropria- tions which were equally meriiorious with those contained in the bill. Mr. Dingley (Me.) criticised the bill forthe omission of an item of sppropiation for print- ing and binding in the Interior department. Mr. Randall (Pa,) explained that there had been no delay on the part of the appropriation committee th reporting the bill. ‘The estimates for the deficiencies had not come to the House until 24th January. The estimates for the audited claims had not come until the 29th January, or the supplemental estimates until 7th February. Mr. Lon; (Mass,) corroborated this statement, and said that the House would make no mis- take in pacing the bill under suspension of the rules, The motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was agreed to; yeas 241, nays 38, BUSINESS UNDER THE SPECIAL RULE.

The snow storm that began yesterday after- noon, about the time when ladies were prepar- ing to start out on their rounds of calls, had the effect of keeping a large number in-doors, al- though many braved the weatherand cancelled numerous calls from their lists, The one attractive event of the afternoon which assumed quite a social character, was the reception and tea at the rooms of the Wo- men’s Exchange, 1509 H street. and neither storm nor social duties deterred quite a large crowd of prominent society people from gath- ering there. Mrs. O'Reilly presided at the choc- olate table,and Miss Waite and Miss Dawes over the tea urn, while the fair assistants in- ¢luded the Misses Woods, Crittenden, Strong, Wallach, Coffey, Carter, Van Aucken; West and others. Among the many distinguished patrons of the enterprise who were present at the affair were Mrs, McElroy, Mrs. Logan and her dit ter, Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. McMichael, Mrs, Lander, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Fox, ex-Sen! tor and Mrs. Pomeroy, Mrs. Coffey, and many other prominent personages of society. A choice bill of fare was served at reasonable rates, and it 1s understood that the ladies in charge of the worthy undertakimg netted quite @ handsome sum in aid of the Exchange. ‘The informal Tuesday evening at home of Mrs. Blague and Miss Meinell last evening, in spite of the disagreeable weather attracted quite a wumber of ladies and gentlemen, ‘The evening was pleasantly enjoyed by all.” Miss Miller, of New York, who is the guest of Miss Melnell, will return to her home the latter part of next week. The Union Veteran Corps, Old Guard, intro duced rather a novel social entertainment at Masonic hall last evening—a regular basket pie- nic affair—which proved very interesting and enjoyable. Each of the ladies brought a little basket of dainties, and each of the baskets was sold to the highestéddder. ‘The purchaser then had the privilege of finding the lady whose card. was in the basket and inviting her to share the contents of the basket with him, after which the basket was returned to the lady by the gen- tleman.

As this is the last Wednesday that will occur between now and the 4th of March, the cabinet ladies who receive to-day are holding their last sociaL-offielal sort of receptions as ladies of the Cabinet. Whether they will continue their re- ceptions after this week depends upon eiream- stances. Mrs, Teller will, of course, continue to reside here, as her husband will’go into the Sepate as soon as his term as a cabinet officer expires, and Mrs, Chandler will continue to oc cupy her winter residence here, as she has done for years past, although her health will proba- bly not permit her reappearance in society this winter, ‘The other cabinet fam_ ‘sare already arranging to leave the city, and chose of them who own houses will let then Mrs, Ny a huysen, whose frequent entertainments this winter have proved such brilliant and attrac- tive affuirs, as already announced, holds her last reception this afternoon,and it will no doubt be crowded by the many who have been fortunate enough to partake of the hospitalities of the family. .Miss Dora Miller has invited a limited num- ber of friends toa progressive euchre party for Friday evening. ‘The lady friends of the Young Men's Christian Asfociation will give their “pink and white souvenir party’ is evening in the association lors, on New York avenue, which promises Tobe a'novel and very delightful adult, as. the ladies in charge of the arranzementsare sparing no efforts to insure a complete success.
