Feb.. 3.—Secretary McCulloch Is pro pa ring a reply to the resolution of .taftfiry "dtred In the House oi Representatives oh'Mon day. by Mr. Scofield, relative. to the dismissal of certain ibsp-.ctors in the Fhiladtlphia Custom House by order of the Collector of the Port, and ail the correspondence on the subject will soon bo submitted.

The "set" discharged by -rder of the Secretary of the Treasury, but who. it is nl.vjjed, were continued In office by the Col lector, have not been paid, andlf they have per b inied service, the probability Is they must look o the Collector for compensation, nnlesa Cdn arees ehoutd gcneroUßly'vot!; them an appropri ation, which is hardly probable, because If this were done, the present Collector or his successor might employ a hundred men or a pinall army without authority, and ask Congress to pay them.

The “Citizens - Ball Com mittee ’ have abandoned the Held to the "National inauguration Bali Committee,'' composed of prominent Republicans, the north wing of the Treasury Departmenl has been secured, ana the ball will "come off,” unless some unexpected oh -ucle should present itself. It will be one of the grandest affaire of the kind ever given In Wash ington, and the managers cherish the hope that lien.

Even some of the so-called “Citizens’ Commit tee,” who were averse to uniting with the Radi cals in getting np the ball, have thrown aside their objections and will do their best to add to the splendor and magnificence of the occasion.

THE PI BLIC DEBT STATEMENT. The moatbly statement of the public debt for January, which will be issued on Friday, will show an increase of the debt during the month of twelve or thirteen millions of dollars, caused by the payment of over thirty millions for interest and the Issue of bonds to the Pacific Railroads which completely absorbed all the receipts for the period named, leaving the increase in the debt the sum required for the ordinary expenses of the Government niE ruares in stationeki in the interior de- The report of Mr. Eti, from the Committee on Printing, read in the flense to-day, showing the moet outrageous frauds and extravagance In the purchase of stationery and bond paper for the interior Department, and particularly in the Patent Ofllce, under its former tnanagemen t, pro duced a profound sensation to-day when it was read. It will result in a compieto change in the mode ot supplying the Interior Department with stationery, contracts for which will hereafter be advertised for, to be given to the lowest bidder, instead ot the was shown In the report. The report, it isatnought, compromises Secretary Browning in ,the matter, as these extravagant charges could not well have been made without his knowledge. At least, he owes it to his own reputation to explain how ho allowed the Gov ernment to be robbed in this way, directly under his nose, without his making any effort to stop it. GENERAL GRANT’S MOVEMENTS. General Grant, accompanied only by General Den c and his Btaff, will leave to-morrow morning, at 8 o'clock, direct for New York. Onhisreturn he will stop in Philadelphia.

A Wurtemberg sculptor, named Kept, "was arrested a few even mgs ago, on suspicion of having induced '’some of the Pope's German soldiers to desert. Mr Kopf was dragged ont of hSs house, to his wife’s srtat alarm, by night, and pnt in a cell with fourteen thieves and cutthroats. There being no wnrtemberg minister in Rome, and the Coosni, br. Kolb, having died recently, poor 3Jr. Kopf would have had no one to protect him had not Use Prussian Minister, Barca Arnim, ■who was immediately applied to by the sculptor’s friends, assumed that duty and exerted himself to actively, even eoiDg to the Pope about the affair, that Mr. Kopf was -.pared the unpleasant necessity ot passing a second night with fourteen assassins. He was set at liberty and apologized to, it being dis covered that motives of personal enmity had .-aused his arrest. But the important sequel of all tbfß is that the non-Prussian Germans re -iding in Rome, including Austrians, as I am as -ured, have [signed a petition to Baron Arnim. an treating him to take them all under his valid protection. fa not this a practical step toward German unity? Th© Prussian Minister will of •ourse have to report his petition to bis govern inent which will hardly object to that anilic3- ; i°n of German interests in Borne which it advo cates so warmly in Germany. The Archbishop of Westminster, Manning,has arrived in Borne, and wiU remain here until rhe middle of Lent. Preparations are ■•ommenciag in Bt. Peter’s for the comm?

Madrid, Jan. 10, 1869 It is understood that the government has been sounding the troops to ascertain their feelings in regard to a coup cTetn. 3ome of the infantry, officered, by Prim’s friends, are ripe for anything," but the engineer and artil lery corps cannot be corrupted. The latter are the elite of the Bpanish army. They declare—at least their prominent officers declare—that they will support the government in all that is proper and right until the Cortes meet, and whatever that body decrees they will obey, but they will not permit any coup d’etat if they can help it. The position assumed by these corps has rather thrown cold water on the ambitious designs of the government Still it cannot be safely affirmed that they have been relinquished. They wiilfnot be until the last moment, although it is more impossible daily to carry them out. The elections take place on the 15 th, and the result will greatly affect the plans of the -gov ernment Marshal Serrano, president of the. provisional government, addressed Mr. Hale, our Minister, a note! on-New Tear’s Day, with a copy of a tele gram from General Pavia, commanding troops in Malaga, informing the governmentthata boat of the Swatara, bearing the United States dag, had been fired into by the revolutionists while it was conveying some ladies to the ship. General Pa via had dispersed.therevolutionists; and; he did not know whether any one had been hurt in the boar. He had made explanations to the com mander of lie. Swatara. General Serrano, on behalf, of the provisional., government, deplored the. act of vandalism." ,Th» re latione between the United States and Spain were always friendly, and he regretted 1 that anything should occur that might in any wav change them. He promised to secure and punish the guilty parties for this gross assault on thalhg of a friendly country. Of course the act was oue [hat could not be prevented, and the govern moot is not all to blame for it. General Serrano very promptly, on behalf of Ihegovernment, conveyed to Mr. Halo the news and his regrets. That was all thatconld be done. Mr. Hale has, no doubt, expressed his entire satisfaction at Gen. Serhino’s disclaimer, and the affair will bo dropped, nnlosa something different isroported by Coinousalonor Blako or the Vice Consul. ' Melancholy Condition o( the Country.

Ils Total Destruction, The HarTisborg State Guard of veaterdav says : Yesterday morning about four o’clock the hotel at Carlisle Sulphur Springs, four miles northeast of Carlisle,, owned by Mr W. G. Thompson, of this city, wns discovered on fire by some of the neighbors, and the alarm promptly given. It had already attained too great head way to be cheeked, there being no .water facilities at hand, and the efforts of those attracted to the scene were directed to saving the furniture and as much por table property as possible. When first discovered the fire was confined to the roof of the third story, at the northwestern end of the building, and burned with remarkable slowness. It was fully an honr before it reached the second story, or the flames had increased to any great volume. A family occupied the building, and the fire Is supposed to have been commu nicated from sparks from the chimney, a high wind having prevailed for twenty-four hours previous, which, undoubtedly, carried the sparks in that direction, and readily ignited the old and dry chestnut roofing. The building was com pletely destroyed, with all the contents in the apperstory and a portion in the lower stories. About three thousand dollars worth of furniture was recovered, and nearly the same quantity lost. Mr. Thompson esiimates his loss at about twenty thousand dollars, upon which there is an insurance of eight thousand dollars in the fol lowing companies: In the Putnam Insurance Company of Hartford. $1,500; Lycoming Mutual, $3,000; Homo, of New Haven, $2,000; Hartford Insurance Company, of Hartford, $1,500. These springs have loDg been a favorite resort during summer by citizens of this place and Carlisle, and strangers from abroad, who will learn with regret of the destruction of this popu lar hotel, associated as it has been in the past with pleasure and gayety. It was delightfully situated In A healthy and saiuorious eouutry, the springs possessing many virtues, and were much resorted to. Under the efficient management ot ■Mr. Thompson, .the springs bad gained wide ce lebrity,and onr community can sy moathize with him in his loss. *?• ‘ Great Fire < _ Itnildiiiss Burned. The Pittsburgh Chronicle of yesterday says: Last evening, at about half-past sis o'clock, there was art alarm of fire from box 53, and soon after another' froth box 76, occasioned by the discovery of flames issuing from the pipe-works of Messrs- Evans, Clow, Oalzell & Co , located on the old Second street road, In the Fourteenth Ward. The flames spread with great rapidity, u-nd showers of sparks from the wood were scat tered a considerable distance westward. It was found impossible to save the pipe-works, and the e fforts of the firemen were directed to the preven tion of the spread of the flames. In this,however, they failed, and from the maßs of heavy sparks, the d welling houses on the west took fire.

The Sergeant-at-Arms next presented at the bar the other recusant witness, Florence dean mil. Mr. Lawrence offered a resolution for the dis ;barge of Scannell from custody, on payment of he costs of arrest. Mr. Ross asked tbe chairman of the commit tee whether he was not willing to let the witness off without payment of coats. He understood that the reason why the witness had refused to answer was that his answer would criminate a leadidg: Republican In New York, and he hoped the witness would be let off. Air. Lawrence said he had no choice as to what the House should do in the case. Ho had always supposed that this was the usual and proper course, and he thought It due to the dignity or the House that at least the punishment proposed by the resolution should be visiCed on this wit ness. Mr. Kerr thought that the witness should be discharged without the payment of costs. He was a poor man,and would have to get home the best why he could. As he would not be paid for bis attendance as a witness, he would there fore be sufficiently punished without being com pelled to pay the coats of his arrest He moved to amend the resolution by striking out the words 4 ‘on payment of costs of arrest.” Mr. Wood inquired of the Speaker whac would bo done with the witness if he were unable to pay tbe costs of his arrest—-was he to remain In custody? The Speaker said he could not answer that question, as it was not a parliamentary question. Mr. Farnsworth' proposed that' the member whose constituent the prisoner was should nay the costs. K J Mr. Wood said he was not the witness r s rep resentative, but he wished to know what could be none if ihe witness could not pay. Mr. Schenck suggested that it won Id be in or der to draw on some rich Democrat like tho gen tleman, Mr. Wood. Mr. Brooks desired to answor Mr. Farnsworth's proposition, bnt objection was made and tbe question was taken on Mr. Kerr’s amendment which was rejected—yeas 27, nays 123.
