WASHINGTON NEWS AND ITEMS. FULLED PROM VARIOUS ROURCRS `al ; J. W. Forney gave an elegant Hen's party at his residence, on ill, on Thursday evening of last About two hundred and fifty ere present, i comprising a major ity of the most dilnguished in politics, business and so ety in Washington. President Grant, with Secretaries Fish, Boutwell, Belknap and Cox, and Post master General Creswell, arrived about half-past ten o'clock. The President re mained for over an hour, mingling socially with the company, and exchanging greet ings with the guests. Several of the Cabinet officers remained until a late hour. The entire Pennsylvania delegation i n Congress, Democrats as well as Repub licans, were present, and in the social festivities forgot political differences. The investigation, by Garfield's com mittee, into the New York gold conspiracy is ended at last. It is understood no charge of malfeasance against any gov ernment officer will be made, though Butterfield will be censured. Corbin is understood to have sworn that his famous letter to the President has been either lost or destroyed. There is a case to come before the Su preme Court here shortly which will enable the Court, when the new Judges shall have taken their seats, to reverse the recent legal tender decision. A plan for a uniform railroad gauge is under the consideration of railroad men and members of Congress. Five-sixths of the roads already have the same gauge— say four feet eight and a half inches. To bring the other sixth to this, as the easiest and cheapest plan, it is proposed that after a given day, no road shall be a post road that does not conform to this gauge. The expense of changing a five foot gauge to conform to this plan will not exceed .f.S(XI) per mile, and it is believed that most of the roads could make the change at a less expense. As there are less than eight thousand miles of road requiring altera tion, the whole cost of the work would not exceed 34,000,000. This sum would, perhaps, be saved to the country by the change, in one year. The Committee of Ways and Means has agreed, by a decided vote, to reduce the internal taxation of the country thirty millions. The President favors this, and has heretofore, on several occasions, re eommended it. Mr. Boutwell is said to he opposed to the reduction. The income tax is to be reduced, not abolished. Secretary Boutwell has informed the I louse that the disbursements fiir Alaska thus far amount to :3597,789, and receipts !Or customs and post-offices i? 21,850. Admiral Farragut is quite ill, and fears are entertained for his recovery. The National Executive Committee of the Union League of America has been in .iession here. A proposition was made to completely remodel the organization upon a more mature basis, in view of its objects. Ex-Governor W. A. Newell, of New Jersey, was elected chairman fur the ensuing year. The National Council also held a meeting exchanging congratula tions on the adoption of the Fifteenth amendment. The most praiseworthy act on the part of the Council was the adop --tiontfa resolution of sympathy for strug gling Cuba, and urging upon Congress the recognition of the belligerent rights of the people now fighting against Spanish tyranny. Congress having already re fused to listen to the voice of the people and their own sense of justice, it is to be hoped that the influence of this body en isted in the cause of freedom may, at least, have a salutary effect. It is probable that the investigation into the sale of cadetships will result in an amendment of the law so as to re quire members to nominate several boys, the most successful in the examination to receive the appointment. A young colored woman, daughter of Rev. Charles B. Ray, of New York, has entered the legal department of the How ard University, in this city. She is believed to be the first colored female to engage in legal studies in this or any other country. Private intelligence from Des Moines, from Senator Grimes, now in Europe, is to the effect that his health is failing fast, and that it is very probable he will not survive the journey home. Gen. Grant has given the Copperhead journals another opportunity for personal abuse by the nomination of his father, Jesse R. Grant, as post-master at Coving ton, Ky. A bill has been introduced into Con greis reducing the postage on letters from three to two cents. General Salomon, appointed Governor of Washington Territory, it is thought will be confirmed by the Senate. Senator Scott a few days ago gave the Senate his views on the manufacture of pig iron, in reply to the report of the Special Commissioner of Revenue. The Government purchases of United States bonds up to February Ist, 1870, amount to $96,273,050, and the accrued interest tl $809,334, making a total of $97,682,384. Of these bonds $25,497,500 belong to the sinking fund, and $70,075,550 are held subject to the directions of Con gress. The market, value of the bonds, estimated at an average premium of 123- per cent., amounts to $108,307,181. Enlistments for the navy are to cease, that branch of the service having the com plement of men allowed by law. From the debate in the Senate thus far the indications are that that body will re fuse to indorse or aid in any way the pro ject for a national exposition, to be held here in 1871. The House is still engaged in consiler ing the General Appropriation Bill. Both Houses have passed the Missis sippi Bill, and it is awaiting the signature of the President. In compliance with a re quest from the Mississippi Congressmen elect, the President will not sign the bill until the measure removing the disabilities of a portion of the delegation has passed Congress. The Committee of Ways and Means have decided, by a vote of five to four, to report in favor of making the Revenue branch of the government an independent department, to be presided over by a Cab inet officer. In other words. to elevate it to the dignity of a Cabinet office. Secretary Boutwell is confident of being able to fund the debt in a year's time if Congress passes a bill in accordance with his recommendations. Judge Strong was confirmed as one of the Justices of the Supreme Court on Fri day of last week. Subsequent discussion in the Senate developed the probability of the passage of a bill re-arranging the Su preme Court circuits, and providing that the ju. :4, shall reside in the districts from theywi - appointed. A motion was therefo e, and is now pending to re consider e Strong's confirmation. The anniversary of the birth-day of Washington was celebrated here by the Temperance men of this city by a grand Temperance meeting in tbe Congregation al church.
