WASHINGTON, D, c., Feb. IT,
LIVELY FIGHT.
There will be lively fight over the senate APP
preparation for new state department, and it
is doubtful if it gets through the house.
ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS.
Congress will appropriate twelve millions
more this year than it did last and two-thirds of
it at least is put upon the bills by the senate.
REJOICING.
There is great rejoicing in the district over
the passage of the territorial bill in congress.
The president is sure to sign it, and the new gov
eminent goes into operation on the first of June.
Great things are expected to result from the bill
in the way Of local reforms.
HARTFORD.
The house committee on appropriation, this
morning, agreed to give Hartford S150,OO0, to
commence the proposed new government build
ings with. 1t was provided that the whole cost
shall not exceed 100000, and that Hartford
shall give the site for the building. There is no
doubt that the house and senate will agree to
this item, whel it comes before them.
WEST POINT.
The last rumor about the West Point cadet
ship business is, that the secretary of war will
order an investigation at once, and if the ring
leaders cannot be ascertained, then, in accord
auCe with the resolutions of the house, court
martial will be ordered on the entire class, and
a light punishment inflicted, possibly the one
fixed by Mr.. Buffers resolution, and which the
house voted down.
THE BANKING INTEREST, ETC.
There are Il large number of bank men here,
looking at the new loan aud the banking inter
ests, also number Of iron-clad contractors and
their friends, come to get congress to pass new
bill for their relief. The president vetoed the
bill that Mr.. Logan got through the house for
them, but Mr. Nye, of the senate, has started a
new BILL which he believes the president will
sign, and the gunboat men are very lively in
the Hobbies, and will probably succeed.
TIE CABINET
The statement sen off, few days since, that
Mr.. Alderman would soon retire from the
cabinet, because OF lack of confidence in his
crpacity, is pronounced to be made-up story,
to render him unpopular with the country. 1t
is not improbable that he will leave the cabinet,
in the spring, but it will not be because the
president has any doubts of his abilities. In
deed, it is daily becoming more apparent that

others, who have private schemes on hand, find
those gentlemen 100 honest to suit Their purpose
