From washington.

\ wAsBNoroS, March 2O-The Government,
with such information as is now in its pos
session, approves Of the recent conduct Of our
naval officers in the Gulf Of Mexico. The re-
fusal of the Miamon steamers to show their
coors when asked to do so, was considered
sufficient to place them in the position Of
pirates.
The President hos recognized Carl Otto
White as Vice-Consul ofSweden and Norway,
at Charleston, and Charles J. Sunded as Vice
Consul ofSweden and Norway, at Chicago.
All the Democrats and South Americans,
with two exceptions, present in the House
to-day, voted against the resolutions provi-
ding for the taking Of testimony in the con-
tested election case of SiclIles and William
son. The two exceptions are Messrs. Adams
and Anderson, both from Kentucky.
The resolution Of the Committee on Elec-
tions in the case of Howard against Cooper,
of Michigan, declaring it inexpedient TO al
low further time for Mr.. Cooper to take tes-
timony, will be called up tomorrow.
The bids for printing the Postofiice blanks
were opened to-day. Mr.. Crowell, of But
ftlo, offers to do the work for ninety-three
cents, and Mr.. Thomas, of Buffalo, for ninety
four and half cents less on the dollar than
has heretofore been paid.
The Navy Department has been informed
by the flag officer of the Mediterranean
Squadron that the Iroguois has landed our
Consul General TO Morocco at Tangiers,
where he was kindly received, and was on
the most friendly terms with thu authorities
In the absence of an American vessel the
Commander of the English ship-of-war Ful-
tire had offered TO carry the Consul and his
family away whenever they desired to leave
the city.
The United States ship Congress, at last
accounts was on the eve of leaving Monte
vedio for AscensioA Paraguay, in compliance
with orders from the Navy Department on II
friendly visit.
There is the hest authority for stating that
the capture of Miramons steamers was not
in consequence of even a line Of instructions
to the Commander of the Gulf Squadron,
from either the President or Secretary of the
Navy, though the act is fully approved by
the Administration. Secretary Cass had II
conference with Secretary Toucey on the
subject this morning.
The steamer Pocdhontds is under orders for
Vera Cruz, and the steamer NdrdgdRSeu on
the eve ofleaving Norfolk for the Pacific.

patton of Titan by the Spanish had been

been ordered there. The general battalion in
the Peninsula had been ordered to be ready

letter from the Sultan of Morocco was re-
ceived on the 25th of February, at the

his rejection of the conditions of peace pro.
posed.
He says that he is coming to the Northern
Provinces with LARGE force that there i;
little prospect of peace; that he has ample
funds, and that he will prosecute the war tc
the end, if he loses all his seaports. He ex.
horts all true believers to arise in defense o
their country, and says that he has giver
orders to put to death all plunderers. Tn,
Sultan, acting on the concluding announce
ment, has dismissed the Arab Cavalry WHIT

LECTURES BEFORE THE LIBRARY AssocIA-
TIoN-REv. EDWIN II. CHAPIN ON "SocIAL
FORCES. REV. Edwin H. Chapin's lecture
on "Social Forces" the last of the season,
drew a large audience to Smith Il Nixon s
Hall, last evening and was every way worthy
of the high and extended reputation that gem
tleman has obtained for ability and eloquence.
He divided his theme into, and variously con-
sidered, mechanical, intellectual and moral
forces; showing what changes each of these
effected in the world; what great improve
ments they brought about, and what constant
influence they exercised upon life and its
concerns.
Existence and man were, or should be, pro-
gressive-nothing on earth was designed to
stand STILL and they who, from lack of moral
courage or perseverance or energy, were dis
posed to become rooted to one spot-to rest in
stagnant pools of thought and sloughs of in
action-had no business in this world and
were better out than in it. .
Public opinion was often the hobgoblin of
many minds but the man who thought and
felt for himself cared not for the abstract ty-
rant, when it differed from his own convic-
ton, and contradicted his private judgment
The best and truest representatives of hui
manity were most frequently arrayed against
public opinion, and those the social forces
moved to higher places and purer light, and
it was they who first beheld the glmpses oi
dawning truths that made creation wise and
beautiful.
The reverend gentleman's lecture was fire.
quently applauded, and begot in his delighted
audience keen relish to hear him again, as
he is one of the few gentlemen whose efforts
on the rostrum rarely weary even the most
fastidious critic
