NEW FIELD FOR OFFICE SEEKERS.
Applicants for the governorship of the Dis
trict of Columbia are already numerous, in an
tcipation of the speedy passage of the house
bill by the senate.
FILIBUsTERING.
The Washington and New York railroad bill
would have passed the house, in the morning
hour, to-day, if its opponents had not resorted
to tilibustering, and thus prevented final vote.
1t is rumored that they intend to keep up these
tactics to the close of the session.
FARNswoRTH AND BUTLER.
An attempt will be made, in day or two, TO
close the Farnsworth-B utlerinvestigation, going
on before the military committee of the house.
1t occupied four hours on Saturday, and every
body connected with it was disguised, as it was
merely an encounter between Farnsworth and
Butler.
THE NAVAL BILL.
The Stevens bill, giving staff officers in the
navy positive rank, passed without a call Of the
yeas and nays Unfortunately, the staff have
not so many friends in the senate, and it is
feared the bill will not pass that body this
session.
