`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

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

tax is to be reduced, not abolished.

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
