Selfridok has be: n detached from social duty connected witli the Darten ex|>edition, and ordered as light-liou-e inspector of the first district. The Horss Natal Committee, Hon. G W. Scbofield, of Pa., chairman, called to pay their respect* to Secretary Kobes-on this morn ing. The visit was not an official one. CnaiMMAK being a legal holiday, the Com miwioner of Internal Revenue has notified dis tillers that if they will observe It by suspension of business they will not be taxed for that day. It i# relieved here that Benjamin J. Swoet, of Illinois, now xupervisor ot internal revenue for that state, will be nominated by the Presi dent for the position of first deputy commis sioner of internal revenue. The Semi-arm al Investigation of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Treasury Department, by the Secretary of the Treasury, will probably take place during the holidays. The investigation is not a special one. Vfow the retirement pf Hon. Wui- B Wash tnirti, elected Governor of Massachusetts, and General C. C. Washburn, elected Governor of Wisconsin, there will be no Washburn in Con gress, for the tint time in eighteen years. Horace A. Whitset has been appointed as sistant paying teller at the Treasury, vice Seth Johnson, dismissed, and Southwick Guthrie chief of the division of accounts in the same bureau, vice Marden, aI*o dismissed. The Treasury Investigating Committee was to-day engaged in examining the condition of the division of loans, the division of redemp tion and the cash division of the Treasurer's office. No further discrepancies have been dis covered. Mr. Henry Frie* received orders this morn ing from Secretary Robeson to report to Gene ral Zeilin at the Marine Barracks, In order that he (Fries) may be assigned to the leadership of the Marine Band. Mr. Fries is a musician of acknowledged merit. To See the Peesi dent?Secretary Delano and Assistant Secretary Cowan, of the luterior Department; Attorney General Akerman, Sen ators Sherman, Carpenter and Caldwell, Rep- i resentatives Farwell. Seldon, Sypher and Scho field, and the Coir.nmsloner of 1 nternal Revenue, called to see the President to-day. The HorsE Committee on Appropriations this morning agreed to report a bill appropri ating #23,0W? to cover the dcflcit of F. A. McCart ney, late disbursing clerk of the Post Office Department. The committee will sit during the Holidays, so that by the time Con grew re assembles quite a batch of work will be ready. Akerman It was telegraphed from here last night that Attorney General Akerman's resigna tion had been sent in. This was probably a little too last, though it does not seem to be doubted that It is a thing to happen. Kx-Senator Williams has been much talked-of for the place, but the south seems to wanteither Solicitor General Bristow or Horace Maynard. The U. S. Treasvreh's Office?The re port in a morning paper that the United States Treasurer's Office is to be reorganised, Assist ant Treasurer Tuttle and the cashier permitted to resign," &c., is entirely without foundation, no snch reorganization t?eing contemplated. Gen. Spinner has every confidence In his chief assiKtants, and it is not at all probable that they would 1* removed without his sanction. The work of reorganizing the Internal Revenue Bureau will soon be commenced, and a considerable reduction will be made, not only in the force of collectors and assessors, but in the clerical force of the office, as it is the inten tion of the Commissioner to make the experse of collecting the revenue as light as possible. There are at present 230 collection districts throughout the country, each one employing a collector, assessor, and numl*ers of assistant assessors. By the contemplated reorganization the collection districts will be reduced to a less number than 2l>0, by which action an annual saving of many thousands of dollars to the gov ernment will be effected. National Asylcm for Disabled Volun teers?The regular annual meeting of the Board of Managers of the National Asylum for disabled volunteer soldiers was held at the Sur geon General's office yesterday; present. Pres ident Grant, General Butler, Geni J. H Mai tindale, of New York; Gov. Fred. Smvth, of New Hampshire; General Thomas O. Osbora, of Illinois; Hon. Lewis B. Gunckel, of Ohio: Surgeon General Wolcott, of Wisconsin, and Gen. John S. Cavender. of Missouri. Reports from the different branch asylums were read, which show that over 4,?00 disabled soldiers are now cared for, which number is 1,000 more than were supported last year. The number apply ing lor admission is about 100 per week, and thus far all applicants have been accommodated. The CArcrs to-day?The republican Sena tors reassembled in caurtis this morning, for the purpose of acting upon the Retrenchment Com mittee proposition of Mr. Trumbull. After some debate the motion of that gentleman was voted down by a large majority, and a resolution was agreed upon providing for a standing Senate committee of seven to art upon subjects of in vestigation and retre elim^nt as such matters should be referred to them by the Senate. The resolution; however, does not contemplate that the committee shall be a Joint one, as proposed by Mr. Trambull, nor that ft shall have the ex traordinary powers to send for persons and pa pers, which the proposed joint committee of Mr. Trumbull was to be clothed with. As will be sren by our regular report, when the caucus res olution was reported it led to quite a debate.

Wednesday, December 13. SENATE?Mr. Sumner presented the me morial of the 21st istrict club and executive committee of tbe Workingmen's Association of Washington in favor of bis supplementary civil rights bill. He expressed his joy that tbe work im nu n of tbe country were uniting with the colored men of the country in the demand for equal right*. Referred to Committee 011 Dis trict of Columbia. Several petitions were presented praying for the removal of the duty on salt. Mr. Conkling introduced bill to provble for the erection of a U- S. court-house, post office ainl other public buildings at I'tica. N. Y. Re ferrtd to Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Mr Sawyer, from Committee on Appropria tions. reported the House bill making appropri ations to supply deficiencies in the last census; which was pasned. Mr. Trumbull introduced bill to provide for the erm Committee on Contingent Expenses, reported resolutions to pay 81.10 each to tbe families of John C. Burch, late jour nal clerk of tbe Senate, and John W.Jones, keeper of the stationery, for their funeral ex penses, and, in addition, three months' pay lor each. IHVIKTIC.ATIOK AID RETRBWORIfBKT. Mr. Anthony introduced a resolution to create a standing Committee of Investigation and Re trenchment. to consist of seven member.*, and to be elected by the Senate, whose duty it shall be to investigate and report upon such subjects a.- are entrusted to it. Mr. Wilson hoped this committee would be created, and thai it would la?t as long as the S?pate lotted, He believed it wouldtake all th<; vigilance of the President, and of his Cabinet, and of tiie Senate and the House to keep the hands of thieves out of the Treasury of the United States. Mr. Trumbull moved to add a proviso that the committee be directed to inquire into the ex penditures in all branches of the public service; whether any. and, if so, what offices ought to be abolished, and what salaries and allow ances ought to be reduced, and with power to sit during the rvcess, and to send for iKirson* and papers. Mr. Anthony did not think it was necessary to adopt the proviso, because after the commit tee w?s appointed it would be perfectly perti nent to refer to it any inquiry at any time. Mr. Thurman said if this resolution was passed without the provi>o it would not be worth the paper on which it was written. Because before It mw directed to make an inquiry into any abuse, specific charges would have to be broaght in oiolicy of the Senate for years past. The Committee on Retrenchment had the power to institute any investigation which they might deem proj>er, and thin new committee should of course have the same i>ower. Mr. Trumbull wanted this committee to find out things tor the Senate, not the Senate to tin J out things for it. Mr. Sherman said it wasa very serious matter to entrust this cimmittee with i*>wers not pos sessed by any other committee of the senate. It was A MOST OIAVE ATSD PERlOrS qrESTIOJt as to the propriety ot giving a committee the lower to inquire "into tbe most private and sacred affairs, aud this power should never be given, unlessin case of dire public necessity.' Mr. Edmund* said the present administration in its conduct of the public service compared in Integrity and fidelity with any administration that had preceded it from the days of George Washington down. Say there had been even a dozen defalcations among the public employes of the government, was there auything very dreadful in that, except as an evidence that the milletiium had not come. He would tell the Senator from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) that the ratio of defalcations and unfaith fulness was much greater in private than in public employ. It he had been a stranger and bad come in here the other day, and heard the speech (Mr. Trnmbull's) on this subject, he would have thought it was the opening of the Presidential campaign. He denied explicitly that there was any just cause for the doleful rep r< Mentations which had been made here and in the public press as to abuse in the civil service. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES?Mr. Hooper, (Utah,) on leave, introduced several bills, appropriating lands for the reclamation of desert lands in Utah and to aid in the construc tion of certain canals in Utah; which were re ferred to the Committee on Public Lands. Mr. Connor (Texas) asked but failed to obtain leave to Introduce a resolution calling upon the President to inform the House as to the names of the several Governors of the territories, the date of their ap]>ointment, and tbe time they have been absent since their appointment; also whether any of them are now traveling in foreign countries, and whether they are receiv ing salaries while so absent or traveling abroad. 1 he regular order of business being demanded, the House proceeded to the consideration of BKrOBTS FROM COMMITTEES during the morning hoar. Mr. Banks, (Mass.,) from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill appropriating MS,2& to carry out the provisions ot the twelfth to seventeenth sections of the Treaty of Wash ington, which was referred to the Committee ot the Whole. Mr. Hoar, from the Committee on BDUCATIOK AHI) LABOR. reported a bill to provide tor a commission to examine the subject of the hours ot labor anolltical friends were inimical to this bill. This was not true, and he asked a lair opiortunity for a bearing. Mr. Hoar yielded to Mr. Shanks, (Ind.,) who advocated the bill. Mr. Kelley (Pa.) followed also in advocacy oi the bill, and thought no more important ques tion could occnpy the attention of Congress. TUB RII.HTS OP THE laborihg CLASSES must be regarded and cared for, and we should be warned by the history of the countries of the old world. It was because of England's failure to care for the laboring classes that her power was decaying. It was the failure of imperial France to regard the interests of labor, that led to the revolution and the organization of the commune; and it was the condition of the labor ing classes here that led to the formation of lNTUtaATIOBAL SOCIETIES, and kindred organizations. He thought this an opportaae time therefore to start this inquiry, in order to save our laboring men from the late of the pauper laborers or Europe. Mr. Storm (Pa.) said he would vote for this bill, because it only proposed an inquiry and did not propose an enactment of a law. Tbta was a sub ject or importance, and a commission, he thought, eooM elicit interesting and important thcts, which would be of value In future legisla tion. A number of amendasents to the bill were authorised to be printed, and pending further consideration, the morning hour expired, and tbe bill went ever. The Committee on Public Build'ngs and Grands reported bins tor public hnOdimn ft* pest efltoe pnrpoees in Chicago aad St. Louis. Referred to Committee en A] The Howee then resolved I tee of the Whole, aad i Til ArroanonaarT bill.
