Ketchum. The Election Committee repOr-
ted against beth of them. The House put
one out to-day, and is in fair way to do
the same for others. Dswson's speech yes
terdsy attracts some attention, as honest
and able statements Of extreme Peace
Democratic doctrines.
General Hslleck Is becoming oOnVivial.
He gave large dim er party to the army
officers yesterday.
The fact thst Governor Seymous is made
one Of the New York Delegates to the
Democratic Chicago Convention, is consid-
cred as conclusive evidence that he is no
longer Candidate for the Presidency.
The Conference Committee on the Lieu
tensnt-General Bill, sgreed substantially
as forshaddowed in last nights despatch
es,-striking out recommendation of Gen
eral Grant for the place.
Mr.. Washburne stated in the House that
he was certain the President would sp
point Grant, If the bill passed. The Dem
Ocrsts opposed it; but it was carried over
their heads.
The Whisky Conference Committee
failed, after all, to agree at their meeting
this afternoon, and will SO report at their
first opportunity, as no votes are to be
taken tomorrow. Nothing will now be
done till Monday or Tuesday, towards try
ing smother Committees powers in the
premises.
The House Naval Committee is going 10
New London to see about the proposed site
there for Esvy Yard.
The nomination of Caleb Lyon, Of Ly-
Ons, New York, for Governor Of Idaho,
was confirmed to-day in the Executive
Session.
D. W. Cooley was nominated as Com
missioner Of Texas, for South CsrOlsns,
and Lieutenant Henry B. seeley, for Lieut..
Commander in the Navy.
Fsnton, of New York, states that the bill
he got through turning Marshal LamOn
out Of charge of the Jail and appointing a
a Warden saves the Government fifteen
thousand dollars year, all Of which
comes out Of his perquisites.
The statement that Colonel Straight has
arrived ct Fortress Monroe is doubtless
correct this time. 1t soon became known
here after the late announce ment to that
effect that it was ruse by his friends to
throw the rebels of their guard and keep
them from looking too near home for q
prisoner they were SO anxious to keep.
Both Houses devote themselves to bum
combe tomorrow. Nc votes are to be
taken.
There has been a little apprehension
feltin some quarters as to the decision Of
the Election Committee in the contested
Missouri Election cases, but the belief rOw
is that Loan and McClurg will be reported
rightfully entitled to their seats.
The Government has made a contract
with John Minor Bolts to furnish two
Corps Of the Army Of the POtomsc with
wood, the soldiers cutting and hauling IL
themselves. He is to furnish two thou.
sand cords q months at four dollars &
D month.
: The House passed an exceedingly i'm
, portsnt Bill to-day extending bOunties Il
the fret Of April to both veterans an'
;. volunteers. This is supposed to foreshsdOV
{ an effort to dispense with the draft alto
: gsther.
