C, Not. 12. The long dullness of the Federal City Is broken by tb new life and preparation incident to the ap proaching session of Congress. Numerous workmen are engaged at the Capitol In fitting np the Senate Chamber and "House of Representatives, to be In leadlness for nso. The hotels ore Oiling np, and the Btreeta are once more thronged with people. Already several Senators and Representatives have arrived, who have come thus early to secure quarters for the season. As this will bo the long session of Congress, extending perhaps Into the summer months, It is unite Important that mcmliers should make them nerves comfortable The new hotel, the "Arlington," situated on Seventeenth street aud Jackson square, will be, without doubt, the fashionable resort or the winter. The othcrjiinl.)Mer hotels of the city. Inspired into competition, are freshening, painting, and, to ome extent, refurnishing a consummation much required, and which, altogether, will make Wash mgton a more endurable city to the visitor than It has been heretofore. The Whlto House has been for some time past also undergoing a rejuvenating process. Foreign artist of skill are engaged la gliding and frescoing its ample halls, and otherwise decorating the Presi dential Mansion, preparatory to the customary levees and receptions In anticipation during the winter. Indeed, a gay season la contemplated. Many of the foreign ministers and members of the Cabinet and Sena'ors have secured largo and elo irant residences, with a view, no doubt, to Inaugurate a general season of brilliant entertainments, diplo matic and International. The President Is engaged In the examination of the reports Of the heads of departments, abstracts of which have been submitted to him upon which to base his annual message. The reception halls of the Executive Mansion are nevertheless daily crowded with office-seekers and other persons seeking inter views with hla Excellency, and who engross most of his time. ' ' A large number of Government oflloors of the customs and internal revenue have been flitting to and frO on the anxious seat, not alone as regards tho tenure of their office, but in reference to modlflca tlons of Treasury rules. There has been a regular game of "cross purposes" played for some months past botween tweedledum and tweediedoe, in regard to rulings, and geographical divisions have been obll terated in enforcing rules stringently resulting in 'confusion worso confounded." The departments find themselves perplexed as to the admlstra tion or the . laws of different sec tions. Year by year the fallacy of lmrosing a universal law for so dlirusc a population and so ex tended a territory is becoming more apparent, and the attention of Congress will bo called to the neces sity of so amending the revenue laws as to make them equally effective in every section. Many of the regulations which suit one section are entirely antagonistic to others, and their enforcement lias led to many serious complications. Commercial regulations and business customs dif fer widely on tho Atlantic and Pacific, North and Houth, East and West. Tho rules adopted and en forced are of a general and not special character, and will not work advantageously to the Government in every section. Hence a modification or a more bdccUIg character than hitherto broached will have to be made, or complications will continually ensue clogging the workings ot commercial and manufac turing interests. The forthcoming report of the Comptroller or the Currency recommends a change in the banking laws, so as practically to admit or rreo banking, which la the subject or great contrariety of opinion. If Congress acquiesces in the recommendation or the Comptroller to Increase the 1 circulation of national bank currency irom 30,ooo,ono to $50,000,000, the Increase of (20,000,000 will of necessity be ap portioned to national banks in tho (South . and West. many of whlsh Institutions are now without currency. Of course new national banks will be chartered, and bucIi a fight will be Inaugurated as to the disposition of the currency, that Congress will be forced to pass a law equalizing the entire amount of $50,000,000 between the States or the Union upon a pro rata basis or population and wealth. The Southern States will, or coarse, be relieved from the present pressure for currency, bnt the New England States will be forced to surrender some or their national banks, for they have absorbed so far nearly one-third or the issue or 30,000,000. Iu any event, common Justice to the business interests or the entlr j Union 1 equires thai national bank currency should b 1 ho regutatt d as to defeat the speculation now indulged in by Wall street holders, who corner" tho currency market by hoarding it and then sell it to Southern and Western banks, who are without currency, at fr jm four to nine per cant, premium. It is a traffio at once injurious aud vicious, and should be checked ty wholesome legislation. General Spinner, United States Treasurer, in hit annual report discusses at length tho question o' compensation to officers of the civil service of all grades. He has given much attention to this sub ject during the eight years that he has been in the service, and speaks In behalf of a system of compen sation by which a higher order or talent may be secured to the Government. Since General Spinner has been Treasurer the transactions or his depart ment have amounted to forty thousand millions of dollars, end yet not a dollar has been lost through any of his subordinates. A record which speaks for itself. Tho Horning Xeuw contains the following, which may be of Interest to your readers, and has not ap peared In any of the New York papers: "Report says that last Thursday evening, Dr. Wood, the night editor or the Hun, had a violent dis pute with the managing editor, Amos J. Cummlngs, a man whose name will always be looked upon with contempt as a principal In the shameful publication of John Russell Young's private letters. They came to blows Anally, and the result Is that Dr. Wood was made managing editor, but is obliged to wear a beefsteak on one of his peepers, for ho has (in Mis sissippi parlance) a fifteenth ainontluieut-a dark tyt." A. C. J. THE SPANISH BANK. ' 1 ' II :1s Virtually InsolTent. The Spanish liank issue In July last amounted to the enormous Ugure of 118,713,705, while Its entire available and true assets were not worth more than $4,162,807, leaving the balance of $14,550,H8I unrepre sented by any trustworthy value whatever, in open acuounts aud accounts with correspondents the bank owed t5,6tts,072, which there was not a dollar ' Of specie available to pay if called for. The total de posits were $u7,o1ft. Thus It appuars that the liabili ties payable at sight amount to over $20,ooo,ow),wlitle : to meet them there is only f .r)78,uao cash in tho bank and ri7,7ilt at tho agencies; according to which the holders of Mlly i 000,000 of the wuolo sum would have to wait or whistle for thoir money. . The sstiets of the bank would, if real, perhaps make out abetter condition of things, but hoiv much they . are worth may be Judged from the fact that, out or a total nominal sum of $2i,4so,m, no less than $2U,0M,ftoc consists of "Government liabilities." that is, amounts to bo realized from oustoms dues aud taxes, for loans made by tho Bank to the Uoveru 1 nieut under an arrangement between them, which obliges the bank to advance the Government any amount it may ask, tho former being authorized to Hllect the taxes and receive the payments at the Custom ilouse, in irder to reimburse itself. But the progress of the ievolutlonory movement pre vents any large collection of revenue. Altogether, on the most liberal estimate, not more than $s,ooe,. eoo uiav be expected this year from the two sources of revenue, thus leaving the bauk, as to its transac tions with the Government alone, with a balance ou the wrong side of $12,000,000. in a-ldltion to this, the bpanixh Government has ordered a fresh Issui 01 notes to the luuc of $12,000,000, guaranteed by the cenflncated properties of the Cuban patriots, both these sums amounting to $24,000,000. How is It pos sible to realise these liabilities on tho fictitious bases cf taxation, confiscation, and the general worthless less ol the Spanish mortgage of Cuba? AMOS KENDALL. ' Ills Iiait HonrsThe Itenthbed of a flood nun, Sbvs the Washington Htar of yesterday, relative to the death of the old ex-Postmaster General: His dying moments were peaceful and qnlet, he retaining consslonsncss to tho last, lentil 1s o'clock last night he slept very well, but after that seemed more restless. Ue awoke shortly before sunrise this morning, and requested that the blinds of bis room be opened, in order that he might see the son rise, the sight of which he seemed to enjoy. About eight o'clock he began to breathe heavier, and it was evident that tho end was near. Ills family were ' gathered around the bedside, of whom he took affectionate leave, ami expired aiont 8' o'clock, his last audible words being "Joy I Joy l" When he first awoke this morning ho seemed somewhat confused, evidently thinking that he was about tn start on a journey, as be cautioned his daughter, Mrs. Stlckney, to hasten With the pHCking of the trunks or they would bo late for the train, lie soon brightened up, however, aud was perfectly conscious until the last. Ho has been entirely resigned lor several weeks past, having taken leave of his family about throe weeks ago, unit constantly prayed that tho Lord would soon can him home, though bo begged for grace to ho resigned 11 mil it should !k! the will of Almighty (iod 10 take him. Mrs. Sticknev. approaching his bedside yesterday, asked bl 111 if all was clear; to which ho replied, 'Yes, yes, all Is cletir, all is clear." Dr. 1'arker, of the Calvary Baptist Church, upon entering tho room subsequently, iiske.i him if u II was bright; to which ho replied, "Ye, all is bright, all is bright.'' The body will be taken to the Calvarv ItanMst Church on Sunday about 1 o'clock, when the coilln win ue iincovcrcu, ami mo remains can do viewed until 8 o'clock, when the funeral services will com mence, and be conducted by Kev. Dr. Parker, Kev Dr. Samson, and Kev. Air. Keunard, of Philadelphia alter which the corpse will be removed to Glenwood Cemetery for Interment. The following named gen tlemen have been selected os pall-bearers: C. S. Dutta, J. T. Fales. Hon. A. N Z.evelv, Dr. William Gunton, Prof. Ruggles, lion. Horatio King, George Wood, and R H. French. Mr Kendall owned a large amount of real estate In Chicago and other portlous or tho West, Delias been in bad health for some time past and very in firm. He caught cold while on a trip to the A.llron docks, which was followed, on his return to Wash ington, by a sort of bilious lever, but the maiucauso of his death seems to have been from exhaustion of the digestive organs and the effects of old age. A CANARD. The Rumored Sn.11 Domlneo Expedition Ofll- cntny jjeniea. The New York Times has the following in its Wash ington despatches: The reported sailing of a naval expedition for San Domingo, which appears in some of to-day's New York papers, is largely sensational, and is denied here on official authority. Tho Albany, which left New York on Wednesday, was nnder orders to Join tho West India Squadron, which she will do after having landed General Babcock, special agent of this Government, at the Island of San Domingo. General Babcock, who was sent to that Island last anTnmer, and;returned in August, left here on Tuesday last as the bearer of communication. to tho Govern ments - of San Domingo and Haytl. What the nature of his Instructions are is kont a profound secret here, though It Is generally believed that his mission relates to the question of the acquisition of that island. The statement that a naval expedition is to take possession or the island is absurd, in view of the fact that that would be an act of war, and the report that It Is to be surrendered to three com missioners is also absnrd, when it Is remembered that such surrender could only follow a regular treaty to that effect, which must have the assent of the Senate. It may not be generally known, but It is nevertheless a fact, that a direct proposition for tho annexation of San Domingo was received last February from President ttaez, and now lies in tho State Department. It came to hand just as Mr. Seward retired, and the knowledge of this fact was at the bottom of the effects iu behalf of a protecto rate, which were made in the House at the close of the Fortietn congress. Mr. Seward's intention was to induco Baez and his Government to run up the American flag and de clare their adhesion to this Government; whereupon we would send a vessel of war to protect them unjll annexation was complete. San Domingo is as anxious for annexation now os ever. Haytl does not appear so. It is desirable to secure the whole of the island, if possible, and it Is suggested that the nego tiations now going on have that purpose In view. CALAMITIES. A Little t-lrl Burned to Death A Alan Gored by a Bull. The Carlisle Volunteer of yesterday says: On Tuesday morning last Mrs. Eaton, a poor woman re siding on East street, went to wash at a neighbor's house, leaving a little daughter, aged live or six years, and a younger brother at home. Tho little girl was just recovering from an Illness, and was propped up in a chair with pillows. During tho morning the neighborhood was suddenly alarmed by the screams of the little one, when It was round that she was surrounded by a burning mass or feathers anl bed clothes. Her face, body and arms were terrloly burned, and although every aid was adminis tered to her, she died the next morning. It Is supposed the little brother had been playing with matches and playfully threw one on the pillows sur rounding his sister. Tho case forms another warn ing to parents never to leave matches within the reach of children. Gn Friday morning last Moses Brocht, who resides on the north side of the Conodogulnct creek, imme diately opposite fie reservoir, met with a serious uccldent which terminated his life on the following day. Ue was attempting to chain a vicious bull, when the animal turned upon him furiously, goiiug him in the abdomen and letting out a portion of the bowels. Medical aid was summoned at once, but his injuries were or such a character that the physi cians pronounced his case hopeless. He lingered until Saturday, when he expired. Mr. Brocht was an honest, thrifty, hard-working man, much re spected by all who know him. THE POPE. , (ilfts Offered to Ills IIollneN. The Pope's enthusiasm respecting the Council is said to be unabated. Not long ago a priest brought him a largo sum or money from the ladies of a Ger man diocese, and in accepting the gift the Pone In quired whether the bishop was coming to the Coun cil. The priest replied that ho was too old, being in his seveuty-lirst year. "You call seventy-ono old?'1 exclaimed the Pope. ''I am seventy-eight, and I eel young, uud shall assist at the couucll without neglecting my other duties." Under date of October Its the Kouian correspondent of the Loudon J'oxt writes: "Apnifmtot bl. Peter's, I hear that the Mar quis of Bute lately wrote to the Pope offering to re place the present glas windows or tne portico of tho church, which are really unworthy of so splendid an edlllce, with single panes of massive plate gla ss for each window, reserving two of them tor the arms of the Pontiff and his own not in color, but merely cut on the glass. His Holiness, after having con sulted the architects of the 'rcvereuda fabrlca,' and lw economo, Monslgnor Teodoll, instructed the lat ter to reply to the Marquis that there were at the present moment more urgent restorations required Iu the basilica than changing the windows ol the portico, thanking his lordship at tho same ttino for Ills generous offer, and hinting that the money re quired tor carrying It Into effect, estimated at lS.eiKir.. would be acceptable for other purposes iu tho Church."

A FORTUNE. How a Yankee Mmlii It. t A correspondent, writing from Dayton, Ohio, re lates the following: - - ' It may not be impertinent to tell how a Yankee newspaper correspondent and poor printer threw himself into a fortune. At the close of the war Mr. Blckam came hero. The Journal office, with good will of the paper and many pqor accounts, was offered for sale. It occupied a dilapidated ouc-story shanty on Main street. Mr. Blckam proposed to the leading Republican merchants that ho would take the Journal It they would- furnish A000 to 110,000, and give him three yeanV time to pay them. Such an arrangement was finally agreed upon. Mr. Blckam had no money, but was recommended by Prince Mu rat of the Cincinnati Commercial. Tho paper was turned over to Mr. Blckam. Each stockholder pa tronized tho advertising columns of the Journal very high rates for an interior city like this, I assure you. The Journal prospered. In loss than six months after Mr. Blckam took it he presented bills to the stockholders for advertising, and In each case the bills were for a larger sum than the share of stock held by that stockholder."

IIYACINTIIE. , lie Creates Another Herniation. Writes a correspondent from Paris: The announcement contained in a telegram f roui New York to M. Ouneseo's new Journal, Le I'arUnw.iU, to the effect that Pere Hyacinthe hud attended tho Jtp. lull Synagogue in thut city, has created great sevailal among the faithful here. By way of reveng ing themselves on the reverend father for his baek slldlngs, they have circulated a report that he has gono over to the United States to get married to a rich Boston widow, and that it Is not his Intention to return to France. I trust that the latter portion or the story is true, for I am sure the United States will feel proud to number the distinguished preacher among its citizens. To whatever denomination ha may attach himself, there can be no question that pure religion will always find in liira one of Its most earnest and eloquent exponents. It Is stated that since the withdrawal of Pere Hyacinthe from the Order to which lie belonged, it is lorblddon to the barefooted Carmelites to preach In public A mem ber of the confraternity who had been summoned to preach in Lyons the other day, was compelled to excuse hiinseu on the ground of this prohibition. THE NEW YOUK MONEY MARKET. . The following extracts snow the state of the New York money market yesterday : from the Herald. "Tho money market remains easy at four to seven, per cent., the former being the exceptional rate tti the Government dealers on pledges of United Stated securities aint the lutterat bunk und among the trust companies. On the street the prevailing rates on all classes of collaterals are live and six per ctmt. There is no change of rates in the discount market, but the feeling is no worse. The spi.culators iu the West seem Inclined tn try the old strategy of holding grain for higher prices, uud hence tne remittances westward, which havo been wo spasmodic in their career this season, are again light. Some curiosity Is manircstod with reference to the bank statement. Inasmuch us the Government has sold three millions or gold this week against tho purchase of only two mllllous of bonos. but the decreased shipments to the West leave little ground for the Inference that the showing of legal-tender reserve will bo nnfa vurable. The disposition to make time loans on pledge of collaterals Is also becoming wore manifest, the lateness of the season inspiring many lenders with the belief that a eatlbfactory employment of their money In this way at Bcvcn per cent. Is pre ferable to holding it for tho contingency of a 'squeeze,' and earning meantime only four and five, especially as the prospect of a squeeze grows more and more remote. Iu discount prime tames pass at ten to fifteen per cent., according to tiie time to run and the character of the einloi-rfcincnu Buyers liavo their choice of inferior grades at rates ranging all the way from ltt to 4 per cent. "The Government bond market was strong and Bteadv, but without other feature. The ten leucy to u duclioe which attends the situation of the gold markers In a masure checked by tho ease ol th woney market, which Induces speculative holders to hold on. ' "Foreign exchange was weaker la the forenoon, but the purchases for Saturday- steamer cleared the market of the cheupwr bills, and quotations closed llrmer. Tho transactions In contiueutal bills were quite a feature of the day 's business, aud francs were active and higher. "The gold market was extromely dull, but strong at lii6,i4l",'. Nothing further has transpired as to ' the deliberations of the special committee ou the subject of clearances. "Loans of cash gold were made at seven to Ave ner cent, for carrying.
