FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, OcLs IL.
Representatives Steele, of New Jersey, and
Danes, of Massachusetts, have arrived here
They are members of the House committee
appointed during the late session of Con-
gress, to investigate all contracts made by
the Government. After transacting some
business st the War and Treasury Depart
ments, tLey left the city this afternoon for
ST. Louis One of their fellow committee
men is awaiting them there.
The Government has offered them every
facility for the investigation, and 1t is known
that the action of the committee thus far has
been highly beneficial to the pecuniary in
terests of the country.
While the male portion of the population
Of the State Of New York, between the
ages OF Is and 40, capable OF bearing arms,
is 764, ,344, that of the State OF Pennsylvania
is 81. 900.
Brokers and bankers say that the money
market is easier now than it has been at any
other time within the past ten years.
The steamer Harriet Lane is about to take
on board a heavy armament of thirty-two
Founders.
The Pensacola, though drawing II feet Of
water, reached Alexandria without the least
difficulty. She now lies off that city.
All Is quiet down the Potomac
There are no indications of life about the
rebel batteries.

RePort 81 the Kansas Relief Committee.
An through last winter and spring the
cries for aid for sick and starving Kansas
came 70 our ears, and as we sat around our
Well supplied CRATES, or drew the comfortable
quilts about our heads at night we sighed
ior the shlvering and dying ones upon the
far-of plains. The contributions to this OBJ
jet were liberal and long continued, and at
length We have an Official report of the trans
actions of the Committee of Relief. The
aid that was furnished was sufficient to en.
able the Inhabitants to exist through the
winter and spring, and until this years
crops were coming in. The yield this year
In Kansas has been unusually good, and the
unfortunate territory will now take a new
start in life and prosperity.
The general Committee was appointed on
the 18th Of last December, at a meeting Of the
citizens oiNeB York, and went Immediately
70 work. From that time until the 7th OF
September, 1881, the amount Of cash receiv-
ID By the Treasurer was $50, 53l 55. There
hsd been paid out FIR relief and necessary
expenses, sss, s7s Sc, leaving 81, ,I53 4s on
hand with which to pay thesagents' services
Ia Kansas, and the printing ofthe report
Tas contributions we're received from the
FLOWING sources: from 2,sss individual,
families and firms; from 4l6 churches,
schools and societies, and from ss3 towns,
cities and villages. In addition to these
cash receipts, there were received, during the
period shove named, 4s3 be1es and packa-
ges, valued at sll, ,44s 90, which added to
ths cash receipts a. noted above, make the
total contributions 500, $50 Is.
The amount Of good done by these gener-
oGs contributions to our suffering friends and
brothers Of the West, can never be known
until the great record OF the world is made
up, and the books balanced. Whoever had
sshare in this good work will have a rich
sna sufficient reward in the knowledge thst
they have clothed the naked, fed the starv-
ing, and saTed many fellow creature from
q horrible death.

The telegraph has made frequent mention
Of late, Of the expedition which the English,
French and Spanish governments were fitting
Oat against Mexico, but little has been given
Of the details of the plan. From the London
Morning Post, the organ of the British Min
istry, and therefore official, we gather the
following items regarding it. The three gov
ernmeats named have long had heavy claims
against Mexico, which they have been unable
to collect although they claim that Mexico
has had funds enough to Hquidate them If she
had chosen. They therefore are fitting out
q formidable naval expedition for lhe Gulf Of
MEXICO. Arriving there, they will propose
nsgoiistiOns with Mexico, by which their
COnsuls shall be established st the principal
seaport towns, Vera Cruz, Tampico, &c,
VINO shall act as collectors Of the customs
They shall retain one-half Of the duties thus
collected, for the benefit OF their governments,
and pay over the other half to Mexico. The
Post says this win probably be readily acqui-
esesd in by the Mexican government, but if
not It will be carried out by force, until
sufficient amount has been collected to satisfy
their demands. To meet any such emergen-
ey, # says the British government has now
upon the West Indian and North American
station, twenty-six vessels of war, mounting
Eve hundred guns and carrying sizty-Rve
hundred men.
So far ss Mexico is concerned, this plan is
not very formidable nor dangerous one. 1t
Is. in TACT but repetition of plan once al
ready adopted with success and good feeling
in the same country by England. If the
scheme should be found to embrace any part
Of our own country, then it viii need closer
watching The n. Y. Times thinks the ex-
tensive preparations which are being made for
ths expedition in the three countries named,
and especially in Spain, indicate something
f1rthsr than mere amicable blockade.
