WASHINGTON. March 4.
All the general appropriation bills were
passed and signed by the President These
with other appropriations amount TO about
Sl000.000,0e0 The bills TO admit Colorado
and Nevada tailed in the House.
The President was at the Capitol late last
night transacting business, and was also there
in what is known as the Presidents room this
forenoon, In company with several members of
the Cabinet, where many bills which were en-
rolled during the closing hours of the session
were signed by him.
The report made by representative Fenton,
from the committee on Government contracts,
relates 10 Federal officials in New York, and
alleged frauds in the custom house, In connec-
ton with officers of the United States, attor-
MES, marshals, surveyors, naval officers, navy
agents and clerks of courts. More or less
abuses are brought to light but no remedy
suggested. The report is signed by WASH
burne, Fenton, Steele, n. j. Dawes and Hol-
man.
The minority report of Mr.. Van wyck,
signed only by himself, was after being con-
veyed to the clerks Office either lost or alb
stracted. II is understood however, that it
treats of the reating OF public warehouses at
exhorbtant charges and emouments. embrac-
ing testimony taken by him in New York, and
which is not adopted by majority of the COM
mittee. 1t is more condemnatory of officials
who come within the scope of his investiga-
ton, than the report of his colleagues.
A hundred members of the late Congress
have united in a call for a convention TO pro-
mote enlarged facilities for commerce between
the East and West, TO be held In Chicago the
first Tuesday in June. They invite all inter-
ested and especially ask the cooperation aid
aid Of Boards of Trade, Chambers of Com
merce, Agricultural Societies, aud Business
Associations, as they regard the enlargement
of the canals between the valley of the Mis-
sisippi ami the Atlantic as of great national,
commercial and military importance, tending
to promote the development and unity of the
whole country.
Lieut.. Commander Bushrod b. Taylor has
been detached from the Cimerone and ordered

The Herald's money article says il Is be-
lieved that the effect of the new tax on deal
ings in gold and the policy pursued blythe
Secretary of the Treasury, will tend, at least
for the present, to check speculation in the
metal. Another paragraph says both Houses
have passed the amendment TO the tax bill
rendering absolutely void all loans of over
par on gold. This is the severest blow that
has yet been dealt to the spectators in gold,
