FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE report of the
commitIe OH elections is in favor Of John M.
Butler against WIN. L Lehman, who now Or
cupies the seat in the house from the first dis
trict of Pennsylvania. The minority of the
eommittee-Messrs. Worcester and Brown
have come 10 directly opposite conclusion.
The subject will be taken up for consideration
next week.
The committee of ways and means has not
yet formally considered the financial scheme
of the secretary OF the treasury nor any other.
AS the navy department has no vessel to
detail for carrying to London, as in 1851, the
contributions which the AMERICANS may desire
10 exhibit at the Worlds Fair, the president
recommends that authority be given to char
ter a suitable vessel for that purpose.
The appropriation for compensation for the
mileage Of members Of the house, is under
control of the treasurer OF the United States,
as discussing agent and he has refused pay.
ment of the claim for extra mileage, whenever
presented, nor has mileage for the extra SEES
sion been paid to any senators by the treasury
department, before the recent decision of the
secretary. as has been occasionally stated.
Last night Col Howell, of the eiglty.ihh
Pennsylvania regiment, proceeded about TWEEN.
~ miles from Washington, to a house which
was known to be occupied by Capt. Green,
who was captured. The latter was an officer
of the rebel army, and had not long before
crossed from Virginia into Maryland, where
his family resided There were found in his
possession numerous letters, directed to par.
ties both m the north and south and also bun.
dies OF clothing, which doubtless he intended
10 transfer across the Potomac to Virginia.
The expedition returned to Good Hope this
morning They brought with them the pris.
