FROM WASHINGTON.
The Ordnance Committee National
Finance.

WASHINGTON, December 2I.-The
Times special says of the claims of
America upon the Russian Government,
that common rifles and powder were
purchased by Russian ordnance officer
and put on shipbOard when the Crimean
war was brought to u close, the property
was then declined aud ultimately pay
ment refused by the Russian Govern
ment on the ground that written con-
tract was not entered into. The evil
dence thus far elected by the Ordnance
investigation includes many startling
facts re gardmg frauds in contracts to
supply the Government with arms and
ammunition.
The report of the committee will not
be ready for several months.
The Tri6une'S special says: Several
members OF the Ways and Means and
Finance committees have been in con-
sultatiOn with the Secretary of the
Treasury recently in regard 10 finance
matters. Senator'S Morgan and Sher-
man have had long interviews with
him, with view of eliciting his views
on the Sherman measure. The Secre-
tary has not indicated his ideas on the
subject fully, but is said to favor that
portion of the scheme relative to the
millions proposition he has very grave
doubts, and is not at all convinced of
its ACCESSIBILITY at this time.
He is understood to believe that the
law would interfere with the banks and
cause large withdrawal of their de-
posits. Frop conversations of different
members of Congress it is inferred that
majority of the House is in favor of
taxing the bonds, and it may be con-
fdently stated that bill locking to
: that object will b0 introduced after the
holidays. The proposition meets with
general appreciation and there is no
doubt of its passage.
A bill will be introduced at an early
day in the House providing in the future
that all appointments of internal reve-
nue. agents at the South shall be con-
frmed in the Senate before the nomi-
nee enters upon the duties of his office.
This is in order TO prevent rs far as pos
sible the appointment of unprincipled
persons to such important positions,
where there is So large field Tor specu-
latiOn.
Internal Revenue reports show a
gradual increase, aud the lowest esti-
mates for the fiscal year do not fall short
of $1,000 900. Thus far the receipts
amount to over $40, 900, 900, aud to-day
were about 100000.
The Herald's special says: A case is
preparing TO test the constitutionality
Of the civil ri. hts bill. 1t is the case
of Colonel McArdle, editor of Natchez
paper, who was arrested for censuring
General Ord.
Late orders received at the War De-
partment, from the headquarters of the
Fourth Military District, state that
General Ord has ordered boards of arbi-
tration to be appointed for the pro-
lection of the laborer when asked for,
who complains that his share of
the crops is wrsngfully withheld from
him or when called for by the landlord
or merchant complaining under oath
that the planter has fraudently assign
cd to the labOrer an undue share of
crops to the injury Of the complainant,
General Ord also issues instructions for
the guidance of such boards in reaching
a decision.

The Economist says: The improve
ment we noticed IN our last is main
tanned this week; wool is now fully firm,
at prices which short time ago would
have beeu considered above all limits,
and this, too, without any advance in
goods. and at O time when manufactur-
ers are running their mills on specula-
ton entirely, yet the good feeling and
confidence which we noticed last week
still continues. While all are we'll
satisfied that stocks are low, both
in Eastern and western markets,
still it will not do for dealers to be
over sanguine or too stiff on prices.
Goods must advance before manutac-
tsrers can afford to pay higher prices
than they now are paying; and as we
have previously observed, it would only
require a very slight advance to import
foreign woods, even with the present
high duties. Attention is paid alike to
ali grades of wool-it wOul id be difficult
| to say which is most in demand. Comb
ing wool is getting very scarce. There
| is very little domestic in the market,
and but very small quantity OF Can
