Speaker Oolfax gave his last reception for
the season at his residence, on Four-and-a-Half
street, last evening. It was the splendid
climax Of an exceedingly popular series Of
leyees. The affair was an immense Clam"
The entire house was packed full Of we'll
dressed gentlemen and ladies, all in joyous
spirits. We have no room to give list Of the
distinguished persons present. sufice 1t to
say that nearly quorum Of the House, over
whose deliberations Mr.. Colfax presldes, was
there, embracing leading men Of both parties.
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens was conspicuous
among them, and he experienced some Diff

ting through the crowd which filled for large
part OF the evening all the principal apart

cases even were often so blocked up that II

Il" Grace Greenwood " was there; also, secrc
tary Usher; Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, the
Presidents secretaries; Mr.. Harrington, The
Acting Secretary Of the Treasuryi and scores
Of others we might mention. Mr.. Colfax may
well feel proud of such an ovation.

Petitions from several Western railroad COM
panies were presented, demonstrating against
the extension of the Goodyear Indian rubber
patent.
Mr.. Hale, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, reported a bill to provide for the hon
orable discharge of coal-heavers and fremen
In the naval service.
Mr. Harding called up the bill In relation to
donation land claims In Oregon and Washing
ton Territory, and 1t was passed.
Mr.. Foster offered a resolution directing the
Secretary of the Treasury 10 report to the Sen
ate III 1t Is In contemplation TO alter take down
the south front Of the Treasury building, and
state what amount Of expense is being incurred
In the work.
Mr.. Foster explained that he had understood
the design in the first place was to increase the
architectural beauty of the edince, and In the
second to increase the room inside.
! Mr.. Sumner confirmed the fact that the al.
teratlon was for the purpose Of securing space,
and the plan was TO add an outside wall behind
In place Of the columns.
Mr.. Fessenden thought this would be mis-
use OF the public money, as that part of the
building was now finished, and the appropria-
tiOns were for other work.
The resolution passed.
Mr.. Howard Offered a resolution that the
Committee on the Conduct of the War INQUIRE
into the truth of the rumOred massacre of Union
troops at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, after their
late surrender, and that for this purpose, such
of their number as they may depute, repair to
the nelghborhood, and report as soon as pos.
slble.
Mr.. Fessenden thought that in cases of ex-
treme urgency 1t was hardly worth while for
members Of Congress TO go into these kinds oil
inquiries at distance. Their place of duty
is here. We were coming TO period In the
session when 1t was very important TO have all
the members present for the dispatch of busi-
ness. II was the duty Of the War Department
TO look into these matters, and 1t was TO be
presumed that 1t would duly attend 10 1t.
Mr.. Wilson said he had called at the War
Department this morning, and the Secretary
had told him he had a dispatch from Gen,
Sherman saying that about three hundred OF
our soldiers had been massacred at Fort Pill

officers for the purposes. Gen. Sherman was

SIR: Notwithstanding the diminished amount
of United States notes In circulation, and the
gradual Withdrawal from use as currency Of
interest-bcaring United States notes made a
legal tender for their face, the price of gold
continued TO advance This effect can only be
attributed 10 one or two causes, and is proba-

of notes OF local banks AMI, secondly, to the
efforts OF spectators.

now beg leave TO submit to its consideration a

The first bill, If II become law, will have, |
doubt not, the most salutary consequences.
The effect Of the second will probably be more
immediate, though perhaps not OF such perma-
ueut importance.

If approved, the favorable action OF Congress.
1t must not be thought, however, that ] re-

quate remedies for financial disorders. Nothing

our current expenditures, and a reduction of
those expenditures to the lowest point compati-

success all measures will fail
