Black asked leave to be heard on the question
whether the act of Congress repeating the act
OF February 8, 1865, giving to the court juris-
dction on appeal from judgment of crimi-
nal court in habeas corpus cases, would have
the effect to deprive this court of jurisdiction
in the McArdle case, or whether the court
should not, under the jurisdiction which had a.
ready attached to the case, proceed to judg-
ment After consultation the Chief Justice
announced the court would hear that argument
on that point 1t was subsequently arranged
that the argument should be heard the first
Friday in February.

There continues to be great demand for small

own. The Loudoun County Building Associa-
ton has contributed In good measure to this
end, and the only wonder is that this Savings
Bank Home Getting Temperance Society, and
General Benevolent Society, is not moro fully
patronized by the sober and religious and moral
part OF the community. 1t offers safe invest
ment for money at good interest, and while a
man is doing good to himself he is helping his
neighbors to houses, who have no chance of
getting them unless they can pay for them in
weekly or monthly instruments.

houses built in it within year past, than have

visitors are enabled to go through it. The
President will hold several evening receptions

DRY GooDs.-The tone of the market for
domestic cottons has somewhat improved, and
there is better disposition among jobbers to
increase their stock, but prices do not give way
sufficiently to induce heavy purcha ces. The
standard makes are comparatively firm, but in
some of the less popular brands there has been
a concession to tho purchaser of half cent a

feeling among the manufacters agents and a
decided disposition to hold on to their stocks

The committee on freedmens affairs had q
meeting yesterday, to consider the question Of
continuing the freedmen bureau in the States
of Virginia, Texas and Mississippi. General
Howard, Gen. Stoneman and Gov. Wells were
examined. Two two last named favored a con-
tinuance of the bureau. Gen. Howard was
understood to oppose tho continuance, uue-
Quivocaly at first but modified his views after
fully considering Gen, Stoneman's statement,
and it is probable he will favor limited con-
tinuance Rumor has it, however, that ma
iority of the committee is in favor Of suspend
