"a Judge Regards their Practices A
Steamboat Case, etc.

New YORK, March 6.-Judge Bedford in his

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March6 6.
EX-CoNGREssMEN.
The White house has been thronged all day
by members of congress not reelected and now
in want Of good places Most of the new mem
bers are busy at the departments, and will be for
some time to come.
THE HIGH COMMISSION.
The joint high commission held another ses-
sion to-day, and will hereafter continue daily
sessions till its work is finished. Some of the
sangune members express the opinion that the
commission will be ready to report to the two
governments before the first of May.
SPEAKER BLAINE's POSITION.
Speaker Blaine has done nothing further in
the formation of the committees, as he still
hopes for an adjournment within a week, which
will relieve him from doing anything now. He
will probably announce the elections committee
tomorrow, as there are prin,a tdcjd cases, which
must be investigated Immediately.
RUMoR.
Among the rumors afoat tonight is this, that
the president informed the joint committee
of the two houses that waited on him to-day,
that, next week, he would have important COM
muncatiOns to make to congress, and that he
desired congress to remain in session some time
longer, The story is not generally credited.
THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT.
The question of final adjournment is still at
sea. Since yesterday, several prominent repub-
licans have been actively at work, endeavoring
to induce the senate to postpone the day for
week or two, well knowing that, if the session
lasts fortnight, it is pretty sure to endure six
weeks or a couple of months.
Senator Morton and Gen. Butler are prom-
nent among the members working for a long ses-
sion, and it is rumored that they have persuaded
the president to say that he wants the new con-
gress to stay awhile. Messrs. Butler aud Nor
ton plead for kukluX bill, but Santo Domingo
is behind the movement. 1t is probable that an
attempt will be made in the senate caucus, to-
morrow morning. to settle the adjournment
business, but number of senators will refuse 10
be bound on such subject by caucus vote.
Mr.. Conkling of New York, who is an ardent
Santo Domingo annexationist, is strongly in fa-
vor of an immediate adjournment.

STATE GUARD.-The invitations to the eighth
annual promenade concert and ball Of this pop
ular organization, TO be given at Mechanics hall,
on the 18TH have been issued. Ii the circulars
are indicative of the general success of the
affair, a brilliant event may be anticipated, for
the document in hand is one of most perfect and
artistic workmanship, from the press of Capt.
H. C. Jameson. Some of the committees, max
ing preparations for the ball, were in session till
a late hour last night. Aside from the general
interest attaching to the dancing, concert, to be
given by leading musicians of this city and Bos
ton will bean attractive feature of the occasion.
Other features will be introduced, the details of
which will be announced in few days. Gal
lery tickets, with reserved seats, will be adyer-
tised in day or two; meanwhile, tickets for
dancing are being sold by members of the bat
talon.

THE Use OF MAPS IN THE GERMAN ARMY
Much of the success of the German armies is at
tributabe to the excellence of their maps, aud
Bavaran officer, in letter to the Military Jour
nal, gives some particulars of them. AT the be.
ginning of the campaign more than 100000
maps were served out to the BavaIians by the
typographical department. As the troops adj
vanced into the enemy's country, and wherever
a new strategical combination occurred, maps
were supplied showing the position of the small
est hamlet which they would have TO traverse.
The scale of these was one in 10000 The army
investing the capital is still in possession of a
plan of Paris on the scale of one in
40, 000 There is also map giving
general and detailed view of the most
distant spots, traced from the French official
atlas, on the scale of one in 100000 The
typographical department at Berlin had been
engaged for years in reproducing this map on
the original scale, and the Prussian staff were
consequently able to distribute more than 2,O0O,-
600 copies at the be ginning of the war. Hemp
paper was employed, in order that they might
be put in circulation Immediately after they
were printed, and they occupy scarcely quar-
ter so much space as maps pasted on canvas, be-
sides saving the expense of mounting. Worn
out or lost maps are promptly replaced by 9TH
ers, which are supplied at low price by the
stats.

ger whatever of coal famine, as the opening
of navigation will enable New York and other
leading markets to be supplied with anthracite
for four or five months, and will be glad to give
any information desired for the legislative inves-
tigating committee
FROM louisville.
PoTTsvILLE, March 6.-rhe miners are very
quiet and orderly in this vicinity, and no reports
of violence have been received. The additional
50 for tolls imposed by the Reading railroad
company prevents any more shipments of coal
for the present, in consequence of which some
few colleries that had resumed work, yielding
TO the demands of the miners, have been com
PEELED to suspend.

THE CHORAL UNION held their rehearsal last
evening as usual, dividing their study between
the oratorio of elijah" and Mendelssohn's
beautiful four-part songs, one hundred copies
of the latter compilation IA fine "Novello" edi-
ton, having been presented to the society by a
generous friend. These charming compositions
proved very enjoyable; much profit as well as
pleasure we doubt not will be derived by the
society from the study of these musical gems,
under the lead of their thoroughly competent di-
rector. At the ntermission Mr.. William Thomp-
son gave good rendition of the song, Crooked
in the cradle of the deep" and Messrs. Scion
and c. E. Wilder, Frank Blood and ii. E. Bench
ley sang pleasing serenade, composed by Scion
Wilder. The rehearsal next Monday will par
take largely of a social character, (the director,
Mr.. Wilder, having an engagement to conduct a
musical convention in an important New En-
gland city;) songs, duets, quartets, &C., from
members, will be expected.

THEATRIcALs.-Th plays at Horticultural
hall last evening, for the benefit of the Natural
history association, were creditably rendered to
large audience, and the orchestral music-the
same as when the pieces were played before
was of much better quality than we generally
hear with theater playing of more pretenson
than is made by these amateurs. The character
of "Admiral Kingston" in the first piece, "a
Naval Engagement" was taken by Mr. G. d.
Davis, and that of Lieut.. Kingston" his son,
by Mr.. Jas. S. Rogers; DR.. Woodward was
Landlord" and Mr.. Frank Aborn "Dennis."
Miss Emma Brown took the character of Mrs.
Pontifex," and Miss Adela A. Fitch personated
"NTiss Mortimer" In the farce, "Box and Cox"
the characters were taken by Mr.. Edwin Brown
and James S. Rogers, with Mrs. Babbitt as
"Bouncer." These three played in the "Drum-
mer Boy" and were quite at home in this very
funny and time-honored comedy.
