In conversation to-day Mr. TowuBeud, of Illinois, said that be judged from talks with members generally that it was vi-ry doubtful whether anything wonld be dono with tbo tariff or internal rev enue this mason. He said thero was such a diversity of views with regard to the revision and reduction that it would be impossible for Senators and members to agree upon measures that would carry a majority of both branches of Congress. He said ho was told that Mr. Eelley in tended to urge the passage of his bill to repeal the tax on tobacco. In this, how ever, he did not think the Fennsylvanian would succeed, as tho opposition to so large a reduction of the internal revenue bad grown considerably since last session and would be sufficient to defeat the measure Tbo whisky lubby is feeling far from jubilant. In fact, it is depressed in spirits In consequence of adverse criti cism of the newspaper press all over the country. The Stuate is a sensitive body, aud In view of tho very general opposi tion to legblitiou for the relief of whis ky dlti:iers and dealers tbe ardor of many of tbem in cooling. The alcoholic members of tbe third house are.uow try ing to orgauizo combinations. Tbe pending order in tbo House U tbe Army Appropriation bill. When the Hou30 adjourned last Friday an amend ment offered by General Brown, of Indi ana, to gradually jlish the force in the Pay Department of tho army was under discussion. This propesitiou Is causing quite a flurry among those who hold fat places iu this branch of the service, but it appears to be received with general favor by members "of Congress, Mr. Butterwortb, who has charge of tbe bill in tbe House announced that .be was iu btrncted by tbe committee to accept it, and fr.un talks with members there is little doubt it will be adopted by tho House. If it becomes n law it will re sult eventually in a saving of over half a million of dollars to the Government every year. It appears from a statement made by Mr. Brown tbat there are In the Pay Deparlrneut as now organized fifty. five officers. This department disburses only about $10,000,000 annually, and costs tua Government over $500,000, There are 17,651 men in the line. An old army officer who served in tho army during the late war says that there was scarcely a volunteer paymaster who did not pay a number of men every year equal to the whole number now iu the standing Army. At all events, it did not require more than two paymasters, with their complement of clerks, to pay 17,000 or 18,000 men. To-day, however, for tho purpose of paying these men, fifty five officers andj fifly-four paymasters' clerks are employed. The civil service bill, 'as it passed the Senate last evening, embodies the judg ment of tbat body as to tbe enactments necessary to rid the public service of tho evils that have crept into it, and to pro. tect it in future from the greed of the politicians. The original bill has been amended and improved in several impor tant points. The way to promotion to the higher as well as the lower grades of service has been opened to applicants who demonstrate tbeir fitness by com petitive examination. It forbids mem bers of Congress, as well as officers and employes of Congress and exeoutive, judicial, military and naval officers and employes of the government from direct ly or indirectly soliciting or receiving any assessment or contribution for polit ical purposes. Under this bill, should it become a law, political campaign com mittees must bo composed entirely of civilians. The overwhelming vote (39 to 5) for tho bill shows that it is regard ed as a long Btride in the right direction at le ist. The probibility is that the bill will be token npin the House at an early date, and tbro it will meet an antagon ism much stronger than it had to en counter in the Senate, It must go to the Speaker's table, and a motion to take it up for consideration will be opposed by two elements. One element comprises those Republicans who favor the Kasson bill rather than the Senate bill; tbe oth er consists of those Democrats who do not favor any legislation of this oharao tcr at present. This division of the Re publicans in tbe House upon the two bill will give those Democrats who wish to defeat this legislation au advantage tbey did noleujoy in the Senate. The Senate is now fairly enlisted on the high road to r;form. Not content with Its passage of the civil service bill yostcrday. it to-day passed the bill for bidding political assrbsments on govern, incut employes. Some of tbo Senators, however, said privately to-day that both measures were humbugs ami e-xpress much disgiibt at Mr. Pendleton's advo cacy of tho civil-betvice bill, asscrtit g that be will never receive any more bon. ors at tbe hands of tbe DemooralR of Ohio. Ai'oust. Fnou our Regular Correspondent Wa-iiinoton, D. 0., Jan. 1, 1883. Congress is nominally in session this week, but there is no quorum and no transaction of business worth talking about. Performances like tbat of last week relative to tbe holiday recess go far to destroy whatever liugeiing respect might exist in the publio mind for our national legislature. Resting uuder a popular vote of censure, burdened with a rush of grave dnties.staryiug claimants knocking at tbe doors for justice, nud the country laboring under war taxation aud tbe hoarding of Treasury reserves, both houses dallied and trifled with the adjournment qnes'iou, both shirked u responsibility und both practically left the question to settle itself. The house, after weakly protesting that it was iu favor of working through the holidays, compromised with Its own seuse of de cency aud ogreed to take a recess. The Senate, sternly refusing to agree to the rtcess, quietly dissolves into a small mass-meeting, and Senators wbo voted against the holiday vacation betake themselves to the depots, grip-sacks in hand, and are on tbeir way out of town before the vote is cold. Some voted "JiV' on tho recefs resolution with rail rjad tickeU iu their pockets, while car pet bags containing a change of socks, paper collars and copious flasks of whis key reposed under their seats. There is no vehement popular objeotion to a holi day recess. Custom baa maals this form of congressional evasion of duty familiar to everybody. But the hypocritical pre tense of an Intention to work which balf conceals1 a precipitate fight of the pre tentious Congressmen does arouse a cer tain popular disgust which great Indus try hereafter cannot allay. Tho department clerks aud employes nre out of humor with Congress, and lay at its door the Ills of "whloh they now compUlu. It has been tbe custom for years to close the departments nt 12 o' clock during Christmas week, thus giv ing tbe employes a half holiday, But this year ou lug to the action of Congress, it is said, some of the Cabinet officers decided not to follow the custom, and the clerks who hnvo to stick to their desks nre accordingly unhappy. Some busybody, turning over some ancient and dusty files tbo other day, discovered a law in oxistenco commanding Govern meut employes to work ten hours a day In summer and eight hours in winter. Much consternation was ciuscd at tbe Treasury, where thero is great difficulty in getting tbem to work five hours and a half a day, The law bad been enacted in 183G. Nothing further has been heard about it, but while it is unquestionably true tbat the hoars of labor have been shortened everywhere since 183G, yet 51 hours is not much work and ttlthough tho pay of a Goyermcnt employee is not high, yet as a rule the work is trifling, One way to reform tbe civil service would be to make it less attractive to that largo class of tbe community who are always on the lookout to get some thing for nothing. They have a pinched and hungry existence, it is true, but they do an amazingly small amount of work. There is somewhat of a nervous feeling among certain clerks in the internal revenue bureau in consequence of the proposed action of Cougress abolishing internal revenue taxes. Abolishing tbe taxes will throw tbem out of their places. Some of them smelling the battle from afar have already instituted movements for getting transferred to other branches of the Treasury Department. Certain census office clerks, who some time biuco were afraid tbat tho finishing np of the census would displace them, have gained hope that the census bureau will be maintained as a regular bureau and will be attached to the bureau of statistics of the Treasury Department. Tbe United States Supreme Court was the arena for an old-fashioned forensio display just before the holiday adjourn ment. Mr. Conkling was here and made another of bis "greatest efforts" in'tbe celebrated tax case of the Central Pacific Railroad. It is now two years since, tbo ex-Senator bas been heard in extended remark in Washington, and the Supreme Court chamber was crowded with ladies and gentlemen anxious once more to lis ten to bim. Probably Mr. Conkling never spoke with better or more effect, It is understood that if tbe railroad wins the case his fee will ho $50,000. He de livered a constitutional argument of sev eral hours' length, and told precisely how the fourteenth amendment came to be adopted, and labored very bard to make it apply to the case of bis clients. When ho had finished our elegant At. torney General ,"took the floor," and in about half an honr upset all tbut tho ex Senator hod said. Mr. Brewster's argu ment pleased the lawyers inside the bar of the court as mnch as Mr. Conkling's remarks bad pleased the spectators on the outside. An amusing incident oc curred just as Attorney General Brews ter was finishing bis argument, the clos ing speech in tbe case. Sitting bebiLd bim were ex-Senator Conkling and Judei Sanderson, of California, who were ot posed to bim in tbe case. One of tbe gentlemen madu some remark, apparent ly a play upon some word used by the Attorney Gouerul. Mr. Brewster over heard it, aud referred to it in bis speecb, at tbe same time turning to Mr. Conk ling with the remark, "It was tbeir part ing bbot." Mr, Coukling, straightening himself up in his chair, said: "Shake not thy gory locks at me, thou enn'st not say I did it." Attorney General Brews ter answered that he could not say who "stabbed him in tho back," but tbat it was one of the gentlemen. Speaking of Conkling it is said that his practice now brings him a handsome income, what ever may be said by bis critics, and be will be able if be desires to re-enter poli tics in a few years with a fortune. While hero he held a consultation with Mr. Merrick, General Williamson, and other lawyers, in tbe interest of Rufus Hatch's Yellowstone park Bcheme. Mr. Hatch's efforts to lease and "run" this Montana park, which is as big as the States of Rhode Island and Delaware together, bas met with a little Bet-back on account of tho criticism of General Sherman und tbe doubts of some Congressmen about putting so much publio property into private hands. But really there seems to bo no way iu which the Government it self can eh) tbe thiugi that need to be done to accommodate tbe 10,000 visitors who will flock to the park in 1883. Un cle Sam is hardly prepared to turn hotel keeper and gnmo-pri server, and perhaps he bad better make as sharp a contract as he can with Uncle Rutus, and then let the latter make a few dollars out of it. Don Pedro. Our New York Letter. Regular correspondence of Advocate. Nkw York, Jan. 2, 18S3. The good old Gotham custom for gen tlemen to make Nsw Year's Calls on their lady lrieuils seems to be dyiug out, and soon it will be on a par with that of ladies using the second of Jannary as a visiting day.whlch is now a reminiscence of tbe past. Wh ra hundreds once filled tbs ktreets bent on making their round from house to bouse to present to tbeir friends tbe compliments of the season, and to take a gl.ess of wine at each place, teus were scarcely to be Been, Iu upper tendom the custom has in fact entirely disappeared, although inauy 1 idles would like to receive were tbiy not afraid tbat gentlemen would not come. Tberd tbe New Year's dinuera have taken tbe place of tbe custom. Tbe lady or the master of bouse invites such people as are want ed.and around the febtive board the dis appointments or buccessrs of tbe old year, the hopes or fears for the new year are discussed. Among batobeloxs tbe unwritten laws of swelldom require tbat either a party club together or some generous ampbltryon provide a dinner at ono of the hotels. A growing fashion now is to organize theatre parties. At present WalUck'a is the favorite establishment, and the box office books show rows of seat) or boxes engaged for weeks ahead. Yesterday a large party ot Phlladelpbians came on in a special train from tbe city of Brotherly Lore. Tbey filled four boxes and after the performance enjoyed a capital dinner at Dclmonico's ordered beforehand. This evening Mr. Gebhard, (Mrs. Lang- try's friend), Mr. Washington aud Mr. Phelps, give theatro parties at the same house. To-morrow evening, Mr. Lester Wallack will appear for the first time this season on the stago of his own thea tre, and the occasion will be duly sol emnized by "Our Society." Mr. George Gould, Mr. Wm. R. Travers. Mr. Fel- lows, Mrs. Lester Walkck, Mrs. Theo dore Moss aud Miss Whitaker, will give box parties" on the occasion. Tbe most interesting theatre party however wa given by Mrs. O. A. LeMoth of Fifth Avenue, last Saturday afternoon to a large number of children. An entire little regiment was conveyed to tbe mati nee at Wallack's in carriages. After tbe performance they were taken to her house where the lady gave them a grand ball and supper which lasted until nine o' clock. Publicity in the newspapers seems to have IU dangers for young society ladies. The other evening I called on one of the most charming members of a cotcria famous for their beauty, taste and -dash. In the conrse of the conversation the lady with the remark "I knew 1 wanted to show yon something,' produced a let ter from her pocket. "Rd it, please,' she said, "and tell me what yon think of it." It ws a love letter, dated Lancas ter, Pa. The writer began with apoligies for what might be construed as "for wardness.'' Then, although lie said ho was an entire stranger to her, be offered her his hand in matrimony. Ho said be knew of her beauty, her talent and ac oomplishments, as well as her wealth He believed ha would make her a good husband. He was not yet forty, bad traveled extensively, could speak four or fiye languages, bad a little money of his own, was not a clubman, never drank or smoked, possessed quiet and refined tastes, was roady to join any church she desired, and altogether thought bo would do better than almost anybody among the lady's immediate circlo of acquaint ances. "Do yon know this man?'' I asked. "Not in tbe least. In fact I believe, judging by certain passages in bis letter that he has never seen me but bas learned all that he knows of me from tho capers. I should not bo surprised if the fellow bad sent similar letters to other girls. What should I do' Give the letter to papa and auk him to show it to tbe police?" ' On tbe contrai y, don't say a word about it. If he writes again, you have a brother and plenty of male friends, who pride themselves on their muscle, give any of tbem au opportunity and be will be glad of a chance to show what he can do in tbe way of "correction." Although Mayor Grace refused to grant Mr. Salmi Morse a license to pro duce bis Passion Play in tbe ball, or tbe "temple" as he calls it which be bas built, this indefatigable crank does not propose to civo up his idea. It seems to me that if tho papers aud the 'certain class of religious fanatics whose aim.in life seems to be run in very small arenas and pose as wild bulls in pursuit of shreds oi red cloth would let him alone, Mr. Morse and his "Passion Play" would havo been forgotten by this time. No ono really cares to witness a performance or as Mr. Morse (alls it a religions cen mony, like this, and if let alone Mr, Morse would have furnished another proof of the old adage tbat a fool and bis money are soon parted. Anybody in search of diamonds ought to get them now. Not for a long time has the trade, in precious stones been so dull as at present. Times were when during the holiday season importers and jewelers could sell at a premium of fif teen or twenty per cent, over tbo regular price. This year tbey were glad to sell at a discount amounting to tbe same figures. People in the trade generally are not willing to admit this, but it is so none tbe less. A jeweler told me that a stone which was fully worth $S0, had been sold for $55, and others in propor tion. Prices for exceptionally Urge or brilliant specimens of course remain un changed, but as these do not compose the trade tbe majority of dealers have made but little money. Confectioners on the other hand have taken in small fortunes during tbe three weeks ending with New Year's Day, There Is one fashionable establishment in Broadway near Union Square, which makes large sales of fa Ley bon-bons in fancy boxes which took in close on $8,000 on the day before Christmas, and on an averago $1,000 a day during the week iollowing. The world renowned establishment of Maillard the chocolate manufacturer is said to have done even better. Fortunes are indeed still to be made in tbe confectionary trade. It is not bo long since Maillard started out in a small way to manufacture chocolate, and from the outset eid well. Through some process in the manufacture of hU cakes, his chocolate had a fashion ol turning gray on tbe outside in a very short time, xlival manufacturers no ticed this and pointed it out as a defect to tbeir customers. But Maillard was smart and quick as a Yankee. He ad vertised extensively iu every shape aud form, "Tbii is the only chooolate that turns gray, take no other," and thus ac tually made a trade mark of this appar ent delect, aud literally made millions out of It. Sporting men at present have their bauds lull with socking mains. A series of excelleut fights from the sporting point of view, were indulged iu last Fri day, A number of otbe rs have been at ranged, aud until tbe advent of spring, chicken fighters have tbeir bauds full. One would be surprised what a superior class of peoplo attend these encounters. Swelldom at present is nothing if not athletio and devoted to sports of all kind from racing to prize-fighting. Pious people are apt to raise their hands in horror at this sign of the times, but wheu we remember bowsuch great men as Lord Palmerston, Lord Derby and other famous statesmen of England followed the sport, and besides breeding game chickens went from one place to another to witness their encounters, and then sat down to translate Homer, at Lord Derby did, or write essays aud aUte papers a U Lord PalmerstoD, one inclines to the opinion tbat after nil a fondness for tbe lower sports may not be so very ruinous to individual morality.

The reason of the sale of Mr. Parnell's Wicklow property bas given rise to much conjecture. Probably Mr. Parnell thinks that he might be able to turn bis money to a much more paying purpose, a considera tion for a man of moderate means.
