J. K. Hooebt. Chairman, ASTOUNDIHO EXTP.AVAOAITCE ! A Washington npeci.il to the New Yiulc Son says the rnih for upeclal legislation in the present Concress, of which Secor Rrbecon is filly the lfader in the Hon o of Representatives, exceeds nil former ex perience. Nothing approaching in mug n Undo tho proposed spoliation of the Treasury has been heretofore known, or oven suggested as possible. By a closo compntation, made by of ficers of the House, it appears that 5, CG1 bills and 185 joiut resolutions have been introduced, involving an outlay of $b'43,Bll,03G, without conntiug Hie allow ances that may be made in 1,100 pension bills! These appilltug figures seem to make no impression on the majority. They have initiated n, carnival of prodigality and of plunder whioh throws the revel ries of Grantisni into the6hade, and they mean, if it bo possible, to make it end in a wild debanch of appropriations. A surplus of ouo hundred and fiftv millions invites tholting, the jobbers, the corruptionists, and the universal lobby to a feast, at which each of them struggles for tho first place and for the tidbits, and to which all go with keen appetites for whatever can be got. Exclusive of these direct grabs and steals, many of which will be kept b.ick for tho confusion of the closing days of the session, when, by concerted manage ment and the previous question, they may be driven through with railroad speed, there are other schemes which ag gregate enormous sums. The lapsed granU to railroad corporations, allowing them the equities, foot up over two hun dred and ten millions of dollars, at the minimum price of the laud, The Judiciary Committee of the House has these land grants under consideration, and from all the' bigns, outside and in tide, tho question is likely to remain in that unsettled stato for this session, and perhaps for this Congress. Corporations which claim a territory covering an area as large as New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, with their six millions of popula tion, ere unwilling to surrender such an empire without a desperate struggle. They have employed conspicuous coun sel and other persuasive influences, wnich poor settlers and struggling industry can. not do. Corporations have tbo car cf this Congress, and they iutend to be fell in legislation belore its career closes in ignominy. But there are sharp eyes watching these big jobs,-and the votes that will be given upon them, to make up a record (or the the fall elections. Candidates for te- election will do well not to forget this notice. be ger of peace aud good-will, and his untimely and barbarous taking off at this time, is all (he more to be deplored. Wo are glad that the Land Leagues of the United StAtts have been so prompt to express tbir horror and detestation of the foul crime, ami to take measures looking to the rapture of the assessins who, not elo ne took human life, but aimed a blow at tho cause of Irish free dom, from which it will take n very long time to recover. The argument upon the bill of ex oeptious in Gultfan'x case wnsbfgnn be lore the General Term of the Criminal Conrt, Wasbinotm, D. C, Tuesday.

The poiutBnmde In his brief wrro lhep: No inquest was held npon the body of Mr. Gal field y any Corontr or other tfllerr in the District of Columbia; the criuiii.nl court that tried the cae did not liuvo jurisdiction; the evidence is undisputed that the death oc curicd in Moumotiib County.New Jersey, and it is tbe law, beyond question, ti nt whtro the mortal wound Is glren in one county and the victim dies in another county, the person lifllcting the wound cannot be tried in either for numb r, uu lem there is some statute to authorize it, and in this case there is none. The case was not concluded when we went to press. WASHINGTON. Tho Geneva Award is to be called up n Congress again, but as the Home ol Representatives mid tho Senate disrgrco as to whom the money (-hall go, and here in no chance for a compromise, it is hardly possiblo that the $15,000,000 which England paid for etnmagea done to our commerce by rebel privateers fit ted out in British porlB will ever leave the Trensnry. Iudted, tbero are a good many who believe that the money is not now in the Treasury, but that It has been squandered by Republican administra tions in paying election expenses in tho past. ASSASSINATION IN IRELAND. The assassination ot Lord Frederick Cavendish, tbe new Chief Secretary for Ireland, aud Mr. Thomas Henry Burke, Under Secretary, on the evening of the Cth inst., has causi d the greatest excite. meiit. They were stabbed in l'hccnix Park, Dublin, shortly after seven o'clook They had been engaged ill official busi ncss at Dublin Castle and niter dinner went out for a stroll. They were walk ing half a mile from tbe city gate and a quarter of a mile from tho Chief Socre tary's lodge when a car drove np contain ing four men. The men jumped down from the car nttacked Lord Frtderick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, stabbing them both many times in the throat aud breast. Tho victims struggled hard for lite, nd in the struggle became separated, tl eir bodies being found tome teu paces apart. A decision was rendered by the Su preme Court of the United States Mon day afternoon in the caso of Sergeant John A. Mason, petitioner, upon appli cation for n writ of habeas corpus. The Court decided that tbe Court-martial had full jurisdiction to try Mason for the of fence charged; that its proceedings were all within its proper jurisdiction, aud that the sentence pronounced was not iu excess of its power. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus it, therefore, de nied and the rule to show cause discharged. It announced on good authority that Gen. Grant aud his bons have recently lost heavily by their speculations. There was a time when the Grant family mads money last. Piloted by sagacious oper ators in stocks, everything that tbey touched turned to gold. Tbey atttibu ted their success to tbeir own segacily, and went in strongly and boldly on tbeir own judgment, and now, iu a depleted exchequer, they see the folly ot their wnjs. American diplomats abroad are sur prisingly weak, if a r;cent story ooming from Ireland be true, for it is gravely announced that an American consul bad visited Mr. Bropby. an American suspect imprisoned iu Ireland, and offered him $200 if he would leave tbe country for tbo sake of peace aud quietness. Mr Bropby reluscd the terms and demanded unconditional release. A petition has been presented to Cbai.cellor Runjun, of New Jersey, by a number of stockholders of the Central R. R. of N. J., asking for an order for hold ing nn election for directors. This be gins the election proceedings anew, but there is no change as yet indicated iu the status of the two parties that are con tending for control of the company. Tho Chancellor will hear the argument on tho petition to-day (Saturday.) It seemi to be an unprecedented season. Ice in the region about North Carolina, aud damage to early vegetables, and heavy boo storms aud nipping frosts in many localities whioh should have nothing but vernal mildness in May, are not cheering things to content plate at a time when wo expect tbe warm The ground bore evidence of a desperate breath of glorious springtime and the effort to evade the assassins. It "as covered with bloodand Mr. Burke's body lay in a pool of gore. Tho bodies wero covered with wouuds and ns soon as dis covered were removed to Stevens' Hrs pital. The London "ObscrverV dis patch from Dublin gives the Jnllowing particulars of tbe murder: "A boy elates that while bird-nesting in Phennix Park Saturday afternoon he saw, about two hundred yards from him and closo to tbe road, a group of men who appeared to him to be wrestling. He thought they were roughs and paid no pirticnl.tr at tention to them. Hu then saw two of the wen full and four ethers jump into a car and drive rapidly toward Chapel Izael. He is unable to give a description cf tbeir appearance. Tho Park was crowded ii many places at tho lime of tbe tragedy Many persons were sittiug or walking within a few hundred yards of where the bodies were found, but heard nothing Of the affair. Police paraded the park short ly after tho occurrence and fruitlessly searched every hole and corner for the murderers. Mr. Burke was li.und with his throat cut almost fioru ear to ear and his hands bore marks indicating that he had had a fierce and lengthened encount er. One of the wouuds ot Lord Freder ick Cavendish was a dagger thrust which penetrated his right lung aud his left arm was smashed to pulp. Many of the wounds on both bodies were such as must have been immediately fatal, Tbe per Bons who found the bodies were detained by the police. Earl Spencer, to whom the news was first broken by Colonel Caulrkld, was terribly shocked. It is stated that he intends to resign immedi ately. . m A number of susptciaus persons have beeu arreted, but tbe dastardly perpe trators of the deed, so far, seem to have avoided detection. Assassination will not help tbo cause of Inland nor tend to right her wrongs I The foul deed was committed at a time when Ireland's pros pects looked brighter than they had iu years.

All tho defendants were present except John W, Dorsey, who did not answer when called. Mr. Bliss said that Dorsey's counsel, Col. Ingersoll, has assured him that his client would be present when wanted and had told him (Bliss) to give himself no uneasiness on tbe subject. Mr. Bliss charged Col. In- sersoll with tierpctratlnB a trick, and that gentleman retorted with the cflen slve pbraso, "You are a liar." Judge Wylie reprimanded both gentlemen, and bald that if coutscl made stipulations outside of Court they vtttcd in their per sonal honor, and the Court could not en force them. Mr. Merrick called the Court's attention to the fact that Col. In getsoll had made substantially tho same pledge with regard to Dorsey in open Court. The coatss conduct of some of the counsel for the defense in the star- route cases is tending strongly to turn public sentiment against the indicted persons. It Is n matter of snrpriso that Judge Wjlio has permitted such a dis play of rufOauism.cnd if he had sent Mr. Ingersoll to jail to-day for calling one of the opposing couucela liar he would have done what any judge with a proper idea of his own dignity and respect due the tribuual over which -ho was presiding ought to havo done. Tbe culpable leni ency of Jifdge Wylie towards Mr. Inger soll was made tbe more marked from the fact that only an hour before he had seut o poor ignorant man to jail for ten days simply for clapping his hands iu the court rooai. This has been comparatively a qniet week in society and yet some notable dinners and evening parties havo been given. Victor Arthur Wellington Drum mond, Esq., who for lour years has been First Secretary of tbe British Legation here, aud several times has acted in the absence of the Minister as Charge d Af fairs, has brought his bride (recently Miss Lanison, of New York), hero and many entertainments have been given in their honor. The handsomest of these occur red nt Ike British Legation "on Wednes day evening, when the Minister and Miss West gave a dancing party to which guests were asked to meet Mr. aud Mrs. Drummond. Quite a notable company were assembled and the dressing was very beautiful. Of course, the Diplomatic Corps was largely represented and many of our officials and their families attendee'. Since the advent of S. P. Rouuds iu tie Government Printing OGlcc, that in stitution has undergone a partial over hauling aud it is to undergo a good deal more. Mr. Rounds tells me there rig now at work there about twenty-two hun dred persons, male and female. Nearly every one of those expects to hold his or her place, and there are apparently twen ty for each place on the outside clamor ing to come iu. Iu other words, there are about 10,000 priulera applying for 1,000 "sits,'' and twice and three times the proportion asking for the removal ol those who are iu and the appointments for themselves. Mr. Rounds,alter having been bedeviled on all sides for place, has concluded that tire system of civil service reform, suggested by Pensions Commis sioner Dudley, is the best for his office, He will gradually work off his surplus help from contiguous States and reduce his force to a quota among tho States giving each Stato its fair share. .President Arthur'a first general card re ceptlou occurred on Tuesday night at tho Executive Mansion. More than 800 cards of invitation were sent out to numbers ot tbe Diplomatic Corps, Senators and Rep resentatives, Judges of the Supreme Court, officers of the Army aud Navy and to a few personal friends of the President The crowd at the Mansion was so great that at 10 p. m., mauy present had not had an opportunity to reach the Presi dent, who received his guests iu the blue room. All the representatives of the Army and Navy wero in full dress uni form, and a majoii'y ot the members ol the Diplomatio Corps appeared in tho court dress uniforms of their respective countries. There was the usnal beauti ful display of floral decorations iu the lower rooms, and tho Marine Bund, sta tioned in the main corridor, enlivened the reception, which did not close until a late hour, with musio appropriate tor tho occasion. Generul Green B. Ranm, the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue, is a candi date for a seat in the Senate to succeed Jurie Datis. Illinois could not send a better man, u more ardent patriot, or a more earnest Republican. As Commis sioner of Internal Revenue ho bus teen diligent, indefatigable, able aud upright, id 1 would bo pleased to see lmu In Judge Daws' shoes though big they lie. AuausT. lata, and he looks Hie same old Blaine. J His step seems to have suddenly regain ed its elasticity. His eloquent tongue and forefinger are attune once more and be uses both as he talks with the volubil ity ns of yore. The man who walks wltb Blaine never talks. Where Blaine is ono of two Blaine is doing tbe talking, while the other is the glad listener. I have seen Blaine with tbe late President Garleld often and cannot now remember ever having seen them in any other relation. The Boulful magnetism of Blaine seemed to charm tho cultured Garfield ns it charms and holds everybody else. His whole body appeared to possess the secret power of subjection when he willed and to hold his victim the willing slave of a cunning tongue. How lar Gaifield might bo thus moulded into Blaine men may differ in opinion, but those who knew Gal fit Id well can have no doubts. The enemies of Blaine, and bis bitterest ene mies are of his own political faith, accept ed every act of the late President's which pleased them ns Garfield's own, and every act of hla'admiuislration which displeas ed them they charged to Blaine's domi nation. Without being an especial ad mirer of the late President, this much I have said of his peculiarities and ot the situation concerning him from a totally disinterested standpoint. As to the scene between Blaine and Belmont in the com mittee room it is not claimed that either did themselves much credit. Yet Blaine secmx most to blame for ho Is an older and more experienced man and should havo had greater dignity and self-control. There is no doubt that he was peculiarly sensitive on tbe point pressed by Mr. Btliuout, aud there la some reason to be lieve that the latter correctly interpreted tho dispatch which was tbe subject of In quiry. Tbo big whiskey men from every one of the large cities have been here to use' their influence w ith tbe Senators of their respective States in favor of the bill to extend indefinitely the time in whioh whiskey can remiin in bond. They have made so much impression that they claim a majority o' the Senate in favor of pass ing the bill as it came from the House. As has been shown very conclusiveiy.the effect of the measure would be to reduce so much the revenue of the Government as to produce serious embarrassment. Tbe Finance Committee will report an amend ment extending tbe time in which whis key can n main in bond one year, and perhaps longer. If (he amendment is vot. d down and tbe bill passes as it came from the House, it is quite sure to be ve toed by tho President. The letter of Sec retary Folgcr in opposition to this exten sion of limo is conclusive and ought to settle the matter. Tbe proposition to re duce the tax from 00 to 50 cent3 per gal lon was set down upon early in the ses sion. It would havo reduced the revenues about $09,000,000 per annum without beue-fitting anybody but a few distillers, and the present proposition is almost as bad us it gives power to accumulate in unlimited quantities one of the great staples of the country; it proposes insuf ficient security for the final payment' Of the tax; it renders uncertain the national revenue npon distilled spirits.aud enables private citizens to suspend collection of, an important tax for nn indefinite period..

In the Senate Monday, resolutions were submitted from the Legislature of Illinois declaring It the duty of the Government to demand the speedy trial r release of Ameri can citizens in Irish jail. Mr. Bewell, of New Jersey, Introduced a bill authorizing the President to nominate Fits John Porter to the position of Colonel on the retired list of U. 8. army, that being the position held by him at the lime of his dismissal from the service. The bill was referred to the Military Commission. Mr. Morrill, from the iJommlttee on i'ubllc Unililings, report ed a' bill appropriating $300,000 fur an ex tension of tbe White House. A bill was in ttodueesi bg Mr. Morgan to expedite the business of the Supreme Court. The House Tariff Commission hilt was laid before tho Senate, and Mr. Bayard suggested tneedy action upon it, but Mr. Edmunds objected, aud it went tn the calendar. The Court of Appeals bill was considered, pending which the Senate went into executive session. In the House Mr. Kassnn offered a reso lution authorizing the Ways and Meant Commitlco tn all during the recess ol Con gress, and to meet in Washington on the second Tuesday of November next, for the preparation of revenue bills. The resolution was referred. Under the call of Slates, AT bills and resolutions were Introduced. Among them were hills, by Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, appropriating lo0,ooo Tor another Arctic expedition; oy air. uragg, 01 wis cousin, lor tbe relief of Fits John Porter (similar to that Introduced by Mr. Sewell in the Senate): aud by Mr. Gibson, "to pre yent the evasion of existing customs duties on sugar," The bill to enlarge the powers of the Department of Agriculture was dis cussed, and the debate was continued in evening session, but no action was takan. In tbe Senate Tuesday the House Tariff Commission hill was passed yeas 35, nays ID; six Democrats voting in tbe affirmative and two Republicans on the negative side, A bill was passed for the punishment cf de predators on timber lands in Indian reserva tions. The Court of Appeals bill was discus sed, and went over without action. In the House tbe bill enlarging tbe pow ers and duties of the Agricultural Depart ment was considered : various amendments were adopted,and the previous question was ordered. NEW GOODS !

Washington, May 8, 1882. If tbe Intention of tboso who stand be hind the Shipherd investigation was to kill off Bl.iiue us a Republican leader aud a possible P,esidentinl candidate they are not making extraordinary headway. No body appreciates this better than Mr, Blaine himself. Nobody is more surprised and amused nt tbe tactics of his enemies than Mr. Blnlue. If they had conceived the idea of preserviug the Plumed Knight in the minds of the people of the country it would have been difficult to suggtst a more successful method than tho one adopted from the hour of Gen. Garfield's death. When Garfield died Bluiue felt himself overwhelmed, crushed by cir cumstances. To all appearances his po litical career ended in Oai field's grave. Undoubtedly Mr. Bluiue really thought so. A more dejected and broken man one who gave every Indication of being heartsick of the world aud its ruiued hopes and disappointments could have scarcely been found last October. Those who saw him daily and caught his half sad, half abstractbd smile and nod, al ways felt like saying, "Poor BUlut! He's dead and wouders what ha is left on top of earth for." The Blutae of to-day is quite a different man. Iu tbe committee room tbe other day he seemed ten yeais younger. His blue eyes were full of fiery snap, there was a healthy glow in his n ually pale chteks, while bis manner wub round and robust as of old. It was an extraordinary occasion, but It gave him tbe opportunity to pose before the coun try to his own honor and glory and he knew It. and be was eacer to take advant age of it too eager, in the opinion of many.
