WASHINGTON, October 5, 1865.—The statement
recently given to the public under the authority
of Hon. E. B. Washburn°, acting Chairman of
the House Committee on Appropriations, rela
tive to the finances of the country, receives warm
commendation here.; There is no man in the
country better qualified than Mr. Washburn° to
make such a statement, because his position as
Chairman of the:Committee on Appropriations
gives him better opportunities for information
upon practical subjects, than are enjoyed by any
other member of the House, or any Senator, ex
cept, perhaps, members of the Finance Commit
tee. Then too, his well-known character for
i
exactness n everything relating to money mat
ters Inajares great confidence in whatever state
ments he may make. He is known sometimes
by his intimate friends es the "Ben. Franklin" and
"Poor Richard," of the House of Representa-
Lives, from his plain, blunt, honest mode of do
ing business, both in his private affairs,. and in
the affairs of the Government, the expenses o f
which he watches with a jealous eye. If
any •"jobs" are put through Congreas, n o
living man can say that E. B. Washburne had
any nand in them, for his steadfast, straightfor
ward, inflexible honesty is above suspicion. The
statement, therefore, that ho has given to the
public, completely demolishes Delmar's flimsey
arid wild assertions of a stupendous deficiency at
the end of the next fiscal, year, for those who
know both the men cannot but admit that it is
almost an insult to Mr. Washburne to even make
a comparison between him add Delmar, whose
incompetency is notorious to every one at all ac
quainted with departmental affairs in Wash
legion.
ME. WELLS'S YOIITLIC9MING ItEPORM
Besides Mr. Washburne's comprehensive state
ment, Mr. David A. Wells's is industriously en
gaged in the preparation of an elaborate report
upon the national finances, which will be com
pleted In a few days, and published for the infor
mation of the people. It would be unjust to Mr.
Wells to anticipate what his report will be, but
the public may rest assured of one thing—that it
will be full, clear and fair, and such a one as will
inspire public confidence. Ho has received
all the assistance he desired from the several
beads of bureaus in the Treasury Department,
under the direction of Secretary McCulloch, and
when hie report appears, it will be one which
may be depended upon, and will bear the closest
critical scrutiny. I hazard nothing in saying
that it will expose some of the " trifling errors"
of Director Alexander Delmar,amounting to many
millions of dollars—perhaps more than a hun
dred. But wait and see the report, which will
soon settle the question of accuracy bctwees
these two parties.
None of the heads of Departments have issued
any formal orders giving permission to Penn
s) iralaillllB, Ohioans and Indltrnians to go home
to vote, but all employed in the different depart
ments who desire to go are granted leave of atfr
at nee without objection or Inquiry as to how they
will vow. A large number of voters_residing en
those States have already gone home and more
will go this week, the various railroad companies
running north and west having made a liberal
reduction in rates of fare for the accommodation
of travellers. Many ot the Ohioans have taken
their wives and little ones with them for a short
trip home, to see the " old folks," the railroad
companies having agreed to make the same cor
reeponding reduction in rates for women and
chitdren as they had made in favor of the voters.
Nearly every man here from those Stites, en
titled to vote, will go home to cast hist:l,l'l6e this
Pal', and some will stay till after the Presidential
th:CtiOn. BCsig.TEIIANSA.

Gen. Grant's Rule in Nashville.
(From the Neativille rues and Times, Oct. 1.1
Upon the occupation of Nashville the Cunning
ham residence. on High street. was taken as the
headquarters of the General In command. It was
successively occupied by a number of Generals
who had the entrances guarded by soldiers with
bayonets. One of them went so far as to place a
cordon of bayonets around the whole block. When
Gcu. Grar,t came to Nashville he had his head
quarters at the same place. We had occasio to
call upon him several times. He was not heed
about with bayonets—not a musket was he_
t i,
seen. An orderly, without arms, stood at the
door and . -xeceived visitors kindly and politely.
'lie galliibt Bowers, (a tear to his memory,) and
Parker, the Indian aid, were inside; and if the
General was not engaged would, with a show of
respect, go with and introduce them at once. If
engaged, they would tell them when. to., call
aggun.
i;eneral Grant invarisbl.
lit rt.., ,ivet As visitors
with courtesy, making them feel / at ease by the
blandness and sincerity of his manner. The
spirit which governed him reacted throughout
headquarters, and we never heard of an instance
of niceness during his sojourn in our midst. He
was then at the head of all the armies of the Re
public. lie had good cause to be proud of his
position and his successes. No doubt he felt
proud, but it was the modest pride of the noble
soldier who telt that he had done his duty, and
his country was not ungrateful. There was none
of the "insolence of office" about him—no show,
no piirade.
Another Incident: Ono fine morning General
Grant walked. down to the Chattanooga Depot,
with the intention of taking the train for Chat
tanooga. The doors of the cars were locked,
and a soldier on guard on each platform. Gen.
Grant went to one of the car's, and was in the act
of stopping upon the platform, 'when he was
arrated by llur"hulti" - of the
"You can't got into this car," continued the
guard.
"Why not, my man ?" quietly asked the Gene
ral.
"I am instructed to admit no ono until further
orders," replied the guard.
The General bowed acquiescence and went
ei;tn tly away, with a smile in his eye.

L'IIROPEAN AFFAIRS
Matters In liming.
"From a well-Informed quarter, " says the Ro
man correspondent of the . Pall Mall Gazette,
writing on the 14tb,"1 learn that the Italian Gov
ernment has lately made another effort to con
ciliate the Court of Rome. Two envoys are stay
ing here in strict incognito. One of these diplo
matists, said to be Count d'Ostiana, is resid
ing at the Florentine Palace—formerly the prop
erty of the Tuscan Government, bat now belong
ing to that of . Italy—and bears a special mission
from King Victor Emmanuel. The other is sent
by Count Idenabrea, and is charged to spare no
pains to effect a reconciliation. But the negotia
tions have been unsuccessful, having only drawn
from the Pope a reiteration of the non pos.rumus.
The moment, Indeed, Is not well chosen for such
overtures, as the Vatican is now• in
momentary apprehension of an inroad
of Garibaldians, and, consequently is
in no kindly mood towards Italy. Cardinal' An
tonelli had hardly received the parting warning
of Count de Bartiges when ho was visited by
Count Armand, who came by command of the
Emperor express from Paris to prepare the Pon
tifical Government against coup de main organ
ized by the party of action. The War Department
continues to take measures to meet this danger.
Not only is thegarrison of Rome maintained at
9,000 men, but General lianzier has strengthened
the force in the provinces, two battalions of Zen
ayes having been sent to Viterbo, and echeloned
along the frontier, while two battalions of the

WOMAN IfIIFERAGE.
The Question of Woman 'Suffrage in
krigiand—Mriktrr the names of Wo
men from the Lists.
[From the . London Star. Sept 213
Could anything be less indicative of the "im
proved understanding," which, according to Mr.
Justice Probyn, is the legal attribute of our sex
in this country, than the inconsistent conl3e
quenees which have attended the presence on the
register of ladies' names, against which no ob
jection was made? In the Eaat Riding of York
shire there were three female names on the list
returned by the overseers. In the pariah of
Ashford, in East Kent, there were thirty-three.
In neither case was any objection taken,
and in both cases the revising barristers con
sidered it their duty to pass the names. But this
was precisely the reverse of what occurred in
other places. Sometimes an appare,ntlyfeminine
name has been struck off, though doubts were
suggested, and not removed, as to the person so
doubted being a woman. And in one instance
a barrister rushed with the avidity of a scalp
ing red Indian at the register directly he
saw a lady's name on it, and exclaiming,
"Hallo ! she's out," struck his pen through the
name with a flourish of barbarous triumph.
This ungallant and unjudicial proceeding is not
the worst recorded in the first week's chronicles
of the revising Courts. The borough of Leeds
rejoices in the services of Mr. Campbell Foster.
A Quaker lady claimed a vote in the Conn pre
sided over by this learned gentleman, and he was
guilty of two very glaring improprieties. In the
first place he seemed to consider the occurrence
an opportunity for displaying a great deal of
stale learning and spurious wit, and then, having
most elaborately contested the claim, fined the
claimant because it was frivolous. That thoclaim
was not frivolous was sufficiently proved by the
care with which Mr. Foster met and dispo.d of it;
but that much of his own judgment was frivolous
enough to incur a much heavier fine than he had
power to inflict will not be doubted by any one
who wades through its laborious jocosities.
Some of them, indeed, were hardly decent. Con
sidering it was a lady, and a Quaker lady, who
made the application, it was, to say the least, in
eccentric taste for Mr. Campbell Foster to say in
her presence that "it would be turning our laws
and our Constitution and, everything that be
longed to it into something like ridicule if It was
announced upon the eve of our Lady Chancellor
of the Exchequer bringing forth her tinancal state
ment, she bad just been confined of a fine boy, or
that the Prime Minister was unable _to, answer
come important question because at the moment
she was in the lobby nursing her baby." This un
lawyerlike escapade provoked the claimant to
remind the revising barrister that he was bound
to administer the law in sensible language, and
not with frivolous constructions. Most people
will think the lady had the best of the encounter,
although a barrister's understanding is pre
sumably "improved" beyond the superiority
which Mr. Justice Probyn's law attributed to the
average man.
THE CHINESE EMBASSY.
slightly Humorous but Friendly Wel
come to England.
(From the London Star, September 22.
Mr. Burlingame and his Chinese Embassy have
arrived in London. From the accounts of the
personwl of the mission that have already ap
peared, we may expect to derive at once profit
and amusement from their presence among as, as
they seem individually to unite all the attractive
ness of the show Chinamen to the dignity of the
diplomatist. Surely from the days when embassies
were firstsent therehave been none that promised
lobe so interesting to the curious as this one. Its
chief is an American, its first Secretary an Irish
man. its second a native of France. But China
has absorbed them in her own nationality, and
has rechristened them to her own taste; so that it
is doubtful whether the own father of- Poo-au
chen, Chin-chl-choong-jen-tachen would recog
nize by that title his son, Anson Burlingame.
Equally puzzled, too, would be the inhabitants
of Belfast to discover in 80-choon-au their long
lost townsman John McLeavy Brown. De
chart the Chinese transformation for the name
of Mr. Secretary Deschamps, might yaas
muster on the boulevards. It is in Chili-u-hahn
that we come to the real Chinaman, - wttose illus
trious line is free from every taint of Western bar
barism. This gentleman is Associate Minister,
and yet he only weighs 130 pounds. Here is a
lesson that we trust will not be thrown away on
those who are eternally complaining of the inade
quacy of their means to their desired ends. At
130 pounds weight Chih-n-Chan has managed to
lay his Sovereign under an obligation; how many
men aro there among us who at 260 pounds have
bestowed one thought on their country? But, by
the way, the other members of the embassy are
gentleman who interpret in the principal
European languages. We wish them all
a long and profitable stay in this ceuntry—
profitable to them and to ourselves. Mr. Burlin
game deserves thanks for having brought them
here. It was a great undertaking, and it must
not be forgotten that it is an undertaking not yet
completed. The Chinese have shown their usual
happiness of thought in the choice of a name
for the gentleman who has led their countrymen
these thousands of miles from home to meet the
West on its own ground. The translation of Mr.
Burlingame's title is "Minister of Heavy Responsi
bility.' Can anything be more filter, more liter
ally true ?

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
The gentleman with whose euphonious name
we have by this time familiarized the public, is
immediately succeeded on the list by
an; but 80-choon- au turns out on close inspection,
to be Chinese for Mr. John • McLeavy
Brown,_ an Irishman, born near Belfast in
1836. Nor is De-Chan, for all his mono
syllable compactness, a real Chinaman; he is M.
Emile Deseamps, native of Paris, born in 1839
although in this case we confess to a certain
amount of incredulity. We do not profess to
have s profound knowledge of the willow-pattern
language; but if "De-Chan" is Chinese for Des
champs, then was Mr. Foker. In Pendennis,
quite accurate in his French when ho said to
his valet: "Curly moi nng pew, avec nue
paire de tongs . ' At length, with feelings
of considerable satisfaction, we some to a real
live Mantchoo Tartar "enrolled in the Hiang-lan
chee Mantchoo, or tiordered blue banner of the
First Manchnvian Division." Of course a Mont
choo may call himself whatever a man chooses.
but, quips apart, when a gentleman deliberateli
describes himself as a "bordered blue banner,'
the associations suggested are apt to be gro
tesque. Of course, we are bound to believe that
Chih-n-Khan is a man of immense distinction.
The remark naturally applies to the whole Em
bassy—"so are they all. all honorable men." * *
Without the slightest disrespect to Mr. Burling
ame, who is a gentleman of remarkable acute
ness and ingenuity we may be pardoned for
doubting whether his present mission is one in
which Englishmen have cause to feel particularly
interested. Hitherto as It happens,we have been
our own negotiators with the authorities of the
Flowery Land, and when last there was a little
difference of opinion we had to march, in com
pany with our gallant French friends, to Pekin
itself, and dictate our terms after sacking the
Emperor's palace. In the broad in
terests of civilization we may not re
gret—we may rather rejoice—that America has
managed to obtain privileges similar to our own;
but at any rate we have, down to this time, been
tolerably able to take care of ourselves. Mr.
Burlingame is reported to have ideas of by and
by " opening up ' the Celestial Empire to Ameri
can enterprise. Great Britain can have no rea
sonable objection to his doing so, but meanwhile
we cannot discover that the question now at is
sue between Great Britain and China is so press
ing or intricate as to give serious employmentto
such a distinguished intermediary as Poo-au
Chen, Chin-ciii-choong-jen-tachen.
Progress of the Excavations ~11aipsvii..
ant Developments.
A correspondent of the New York Times writes
from Jerusalem :
The discoveries made hitherto may be summed
up briefly. The south wall of the sacred arca,
Haram El Shereef, within which stood the
temple, has been explored to the very founda
tions. It is found that in one place the wall was
no less than 180 feet high. At the lowest point
of the wall, which is now determined to be also
the lowest point of the Tyropxon Valley, he dis
covered a small passage which he explored for
some 150 feet, of very ancient construction, and
evidently intended to carry off superfluous water.
Previously to this discovery it had been supposed
that the lowest point was the southwest angle of
the wall where. was the great arch, known as
Robinson's Arch. Visitors to Jerusalem will
remember the spring of the old arch at this
point. They will be gratified to learn that all
the conjectures with reference to what formerly
stood there have been abundantly verified.
Not only was there a splendid arch cross
ing the Tyropuon Valley at this point—the span
of which was forty feet across—and the voussoirs
and ruins of which now lie buried in the debris,
but beneath this old arch, covered over with a
pavement, built presumably to cover these ruins,
lie the stones of an arch older still, perhaps the
arch built by Solomon himself. The complete
investigation of this arch has been a long and
costly undertaking, but its importance is very
great.
On the east side of the Harem wall lies the
valley of the Hedron. Lieut. Warren, by a se
ries of shafts and borings, has ascertained that
the present bed of thestream isno less than forty
feet higher than the old bed—the bed having
been raised by the enormous masses of debris
and ruins that have been hurled over Into the
valley. By the last letter from Jerusalem we
received a plan of the system of chambers dis
covered at "Wilson's Arch," higher up on the
western wall, near the • 'Wailing Place" of the
Jews. Lie.nt. Warren has discovered at a depth
of some fifty feet below the surface of the ground
a vast system of chambers and passages. These
chambers, whose use has not yet been decided,
are mostly about twelve feet square, vaulted and
filled up with rubbish or with water. About
eighteen have been opened, of which it is con
jectured that two or three are of Saraeenic origin
and the rest of Jewish. They branch off right
and left along a great passage. This has been
followed up for a distance of 250 feet; its desti
nation being yet uncertain, and its use problem
atical. Perhaps, however, it was a secret pas
seee for troops. The discovery is intensely in
teresting, and may lead to singular and most im
portant results.

DRAITIATIC.
dirs. Lander as “intario antoinettc.”
At the Walnut Street Theatre-:last night, Mrs.
Lander, for the first time, personated "Marie
Antoinette." - The drama in which she appeared,
differed, in many important particulars, from
Giacometti's play, and in all its main features
from that-in which" Mrs. Bowers appeared last
winter. Mrs. Lander is, indeed, responsible for
the construction of this drama. It was written
by Mies Fanny Reed,of Washington, a co-laborer
with Mrs. Lander in the army, but the material was
furnished by the latter lady herself from history
and from Giacometti's play. All the principal
episodes are taken from authentic records of the
time, and the language, lu very many Instances,
is precisely that which was used by the real
actors in the most fearful drama in ,
all history. The work, as a whole, ~is
very excellent. Indeed, if we except a little en
perlitions verbiage in the first and - secondacts,
we might assign it a higher place than the com
position of the Italian thamatist. Its very his
torical accuracy gives it intensity and force that
it could not have as a purely imaginative work.
The actual episodes of that dreadful time, and the
true story of that most unfortunate of queens,
furnish dramatic situations more thrilling and
more vivid, than the heart of man has ever con
ceived. Mrs. Lander haslMade the moat of the
- large opportunity afforded by fact, and; in the
last three acts of the play 'especially, 'has fur
nished a picture of the sufferings of the royal
family of France, that tests to the utmost the
powers of a historic artist. •
We do but simple justice in awarding to her
performance, last evening, a high mead of
praise, and in asserting that she baffle all the
conditions and the demands of the part. We do
not propose to institute any comparison between
her performance and that of Mine. Riatorl.
Although here and there in the play may be de
tected points of similarity, necessary, perhaps;
from the faithful representation of both, Mrs.
Lander's personation is in no sense an imitation,
but is boldly original. It is but fair then to con
eider it alone, and give it whatever commenda
tion is due to its intrinsie merit. In the first act
the scene la laid in the Trianon,andn picture is
given of those follies and extravagances
of the court, which crowned the
sins of the French monarchy, and were at last
partially the pretext for' revolution. Mrs.
Lander'e opportunity hero was comparatively
small, but she acted with taste and diScretion.
At the conclusion of the second act—the mob
storm the palace of Versailles, and demand "the
Austrian." Mrs . Lander played with infinite
skill during the exciting scene, when the sans
culottes hurl forth their curses against her; and
her presentation of the dauphin to her enemies
was a bit of dramatic art that loses nothing of
its force even in the presence of the memory of
the splendid acting of Ristori In this episode.
But it is in the other acts that Mrs. Lander does
best. The larger portion of the third act ieloca
ted in Varennes, where the royal fugitives were
arrested in their flight, before being brought back
to Paris. Here also, instead of at the Tuileries
the mob breaks into her presence and insults and
threatens her, and affords opportunity for a dis
play of very noble acting. In the fourth act, the
scene changes to the Temple. The King is de
posed, and finally torn away from his family,and
it is during this painful scene that Mrs. Lander
won her best laurels. Her personation of the af
flicted, heartbroken Queen, was affecting in the
extreme, and it deserves to have said of it, that
it has not been surpassed by an living actress.
The scene in the last act,where "Simon" attempts
to seize her child, is also magnificent, and our
only regret is, that want of space today forbids
an analytical criticism of,or anything,indeed, but
a mere reference to, these passages, and also to
the closing scenes of 'the last act. All of these
are worthy of very warm commendation, and of
more extended comment, than we can possibly
bestow upon them.
But criticism, however limited, cannot be other
wise than favorable, for although there was
perceptible throughout the want of entire
smoothness, which nearly always belongs to a
first representation, yet the performance was in
trinsically excellent, and we venture to say will
become popular with the people.
Mrs. Lander was supported by Mr. J. H. Tay
lor, who played "the King" with much good tune,
especlaily during the parting scene in the Temple;
and Mr. Becks, as the • 'Duke de Lauzun'
a new figure in the dramatizations of Marie An
toinette's history—personated with cousumate
art, the representative of the frivolous col:LIS - Ws
who helped the French monarchy onward to its
ruin. The piece will be repeated to-night.
4ite out Play , ' at the chestnut.
Dion Boncicault's dramatization of Foul Play
was presented at the Chestnut Street Theatre last
evening, by a company from the Broadway (New
York) Theatre. It is quite impossible to per
ceive that Mr. Boucicanit's drama is superior in
any marked degree to that of Mr. Reade. Per
haps the former gentleman has bestowed more
elaborate pains upon some of the situations, and
made them more effective, but this is over
balanced by the absence of that attention to
scenic effect which distinguished the production
of the play at the Walnut. However, the piece
possesses interest, and some degree of literary
merit, and it has been very successful
wherever it has been represented. There is no
reason therefore to suppose that it will not be so
here. People love the highly sensational. The
wildly impossible novel found multitudes of
readers who devoured its pages with amazing
eagerness, and followed the perilous adventures
of the hero and heroine with an interest due to
the apparent inextricability of their perplexities.
The drama is almost as absorbing, and oven in the
hands of a company whose members do not, per
haps, fulfil the highest requirements of the text
it cannot fall to prove deeply interesting. Foul
Play will be reoeated this evening.
Lotto at the iirch•
Lotta appeared last evening at the Arch Street
Theatre in her charming impersonation of "Lit
tle Nell" and "the Marchioness." Mr. Craig gave
a most artistic representation of Dickens's rich
est, most unctuous character, "Dick Svvivellet."
Both will be repeated to-night.
—For want of a better text, the Press this morn
ing takes the comedies played at the Arch Street
Theatre last week, and preaches another sermon
upon the virtues of M. Offenbach. The presence
of Mr. Birgfold in town, and the suspicions as
siduity or the Press in defence of absent opera
bouire while our theatres aro presenting plays
worthy of attention, compels the conclusion
that Mr. Bateman is engaged In forming public
opinion, so that his troupe of artistes d'une repu
tation uses and their vulgar representations, may
not meet with cold neglect upon their arrival
in Philadelphia. There is worldly wisdom in
the scheme, if not in the selection of the
agency for its consummation. The assump
tion of the Offenbach young man, that he
only in the profession is familiar with the
French language, is amusing. If he were com
pelled to write in that language, and none but that,
the English readers of the Press might well rise
up and call themselves blessed. It is worthy of
notice in this connection that this sagacious
never alludes to the character of M. Offen
bech's music. As this has always been made the
ground of objection to the composer, among
educated men, the omission- Is _worthy °team,
ment. It may perhaps be explained upon the
theory that the critic knows less of music than of
the French language, and that he consequently
finds greater enjoyment in thumbing out the
rurient puns from the Libretto ple,thau in attend
.._ to the concourse of ridiculous sounds. ,
A miscellaneous entertainment will be given
to-night.

Dr. Doyle on Irish Character
There is a very beautifully fitted-up little thea
tre m t3eventeenth-street, owned-by-wealthy-gen-=
tiemen of this city, and scarcely known to the ,
general public. To this theatre, on Tuesday
evening last, we wended our way to see some
original representations of Irish character,' by a
Dr. I. T. Doyle—who, by the way, gave no pub
licity to the affair through the ordlulry channels
of amusements.
We must confess that the subiact, or the title
given to it—"a day in Dublin"—had little attrap
tions for us. Apart from the belief we held that
everything Irish in this country was hackneyed
and "played out," except the people themselves;
we had also the knowledge that of late years
nearly everything in the shape of Irish drama.
Irish lecture, and Irish entertainments that had
come before the public were: nothing, but frauds;-
and it was alone to our desire to eta ;end heir
Dr. Doyle himself, whose name'and fame are fist
spreading in artisticcircles, that our presence at
his readings was due. Now, we feel mr^h pled*.
uro in stating that we would not, 'fop. a good
round sum have missed hearingl him ort_
the very subject which - he se
much wit, so much genuine humor, so mach ad
mirable description, we could not believe it pois
sible to find in one man. He is ruarvellougy
great, and handled the Irish character as a prac
tised lapidary would a well tinted brilliantr

The scenes which he depicts, 'whether humorous
or pathetic, all original, and nil full of pith and
point, we might put before our ' readers;-but no
amount of verbiage could give ' the ahandos of
manner, the suitable gest:tree; the inflections of
voice and the othOr astonishing things; whicleho
throws into his subject. We -trust the • doctor
will not long "hide his light under a bushel," but
that in some more come•at-able,'though, parbsipst
less aristocratic establishment, he will gil'a the
public the benefit of his fine talents.
