Cured in the chamber yesterday on an attempt to

WASHINGTON, December 20.---The Committee on
Appropriations had another protracted session to-
day on the naval appropriation bill, and cut down
estimates one-half. The same course will be pur-
sued with army appropriations.
The Holse Committee on Naval Affairs consid-
cred the question of removing the Naval Academy
from Annapolis. Several places have been sug-
gested, but nothing decided on.
The Presidents message and General Grants re-
port on the condition of affairs in the South are
having very marked effect in both Houses
The Radicals see nothing in them to change their
views.
Senator Sprague has started move in the Senate
which looks like increase in the tariff upon arti-
Giles manufactured in this country. Western men,
bers will generally oppose any future increase
Congress will adjourn early this afternoon to attend
tie funeral of Senator Corwin. Mr.. Harris case will
not be taken up by the Committee on Elections I'M
til after the holidays the opinion of good lawyers in
the House is that the Presidents reprieve left Mr'
Harris criminal in the eye of the law, and that
therefore he has no legal claim to his seat.
Carl Schurz's report made yesterday to the Sen
ate, is quite minute and takes pretty strong ground
against the Southern people. He differs from Gene

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-General Howard, Super
ntendent of Freedmens Affairs in an elaborate re-
port, makes many recommendations He says that
wherever the planters have taken advantage Of the
aid afforded by the Bureau the best results have fol-
lowed that the Bureau, in conjunction with the
military force, is at present means of encouraging
immigration to the different Southern States, and
that, as nearly sl2 100000 will be required for the
expenditures of the Bureau for the next year, he
does not feel that the difficult problem given him has
been solved, nor does he hope for complete and ,ats
factory results in the work of the Bureau yet.
He firmly believes that the same Just God that
conducted Us to freedom will so continue to direct
US that we shall be able to keep tina pledge we have
made that freedom shall be a substantial reality.

Death Of King Leopold of Belgium.

BY the last st,amer We get the news Of the death
Of Leopold, OF Belgium. Though advanced in wears
his health had been OF late improved that the in.
telligence Is somewhat unexpected.
Leopold was born in COburg, in the year 1880 and
was son of Duke Francis, OF Sake COburg- SaaTeld
IN his nineteenth yer he entered the Russian army,
but by the inhu. Of Napoleon was soon compeil.
Ell to felinquish his position. In 1913 however he
rej0ined the Emperor Alexander, and took active
part In the famous battles of that campaign lie ac.
companied the Allied SOyer6gns to England the sub.
sequent year. aud II was on this visit that lie made
the acquaintance Of Princess Charlottee whom be
married two years after. lie was made n British
Field Marshal, and became a member of the Pryy
Council, was made q Duke and pensiOned with ESQ.
OUO He continued 10 reside in England after the
death Of his wife, which occurred IN 1877. On
the diyisan OF The Netherlands in 1891, he
elected King OF the Bclgians having
previously declined the crown of Greece. In
1892 10 married the Princess Louise the daugb.
ter Of Louis Philippe, by whom lie had three chill
dren-LeOpold who succeeds him, now thirty wears
old; second son, the Duke of Flanders and
daughter, Marie Charlotte, the wife of Macmillan
the Emperor Of Mexico. To the English Court Leo
pold held 4 double relation, not OHly through his
marriage with Princess Charlotte, but as a brother
of the DRchess Of Kent the mother of Victoria
and these ties have led him 10 make frequent visits
in England His relations 10 his own people and to
the Governments of Europe haIe continued harmo-
NOUS during long reigu and through many polti-
cal agitatiOns and changes. His admin stratOn of
COVE nment was wise; his court, without ostentatiOn
was attractive and even brill {: his wealth was
immense his habits OF life unaffected and simple
His death will be sincerely lamented not only by his
own subjects but throughout Europe. Not only his
own devoted subjects, but the States Of Europe will
sincerely mourn the loss of the long LoHored old

Departmental Action.

The War Department has ordered reduction of
the white troops in Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sppi to 1000 men.
The Secretary of the Treasury officially acknowl.
edges that he has appointed officers who have not
subscribed to the test OATH having failed to obtain
those who could be relied for the performance of
the revenue duties required as nearly every man in
the South, fit for revenue officer, was at the same
time either engaged in hostlties against the Govern
ment or holding State Confederate offices. either
willingly or unwillingly, Tho Secretary acted upon
the presumption that Congress would modify the
oath, and not subject the South to the humiliation
or the revenue system to the odium which would re.
suit from the employment of Northern men az tax
gatberers. He suggests the necessity of immediate
action upon the subject. H

The mails were brought over on sledges by the post

The steamboat men were unpTepared for this sud-
