WASHINGTON.
The senate Yesterday-Weather Report
sharp Discussion i'm the House.

The senate Observation-Disclosures Report
sharp Discussion in tho House.
WASHINGTON, February 22.-The Senate
was principally engaged ON Indian apprO-
priations, but the House passed the de-
tcency appropriation bill.
The extreme high barometer which has
prevailed all day in New York and Penn
sylvania. has moved south and east SINH
arly. The low barometer in the northwest
has moved rapidly eastward, and probably
somewhat to the north. A difference Of one
inch exists i'll the pressure IN Iowa, and in
the Middle States fair and cool weather has
prevailed, followed now by high clouds, and
"A great rise in the temperature IN the west
and northwest.
1t is probable that Il storm is now progress
sing in the Northwest and will be felt to-
morrow on the lakes, and will produce
brisk sOuthwesterly winds on the Gulf
coast Fresh northeast winds may be re-
ported on the south Atlantic.
In the House to-day Mr.. FarnswOrth OPP
posed an.amendnent for the repair and pur-
chase of furniture for public buildings. He
said we had an instance OF the result of
this wholesale way Of appropriation in the
expenditure of 100000 for mirrors for the
Treasury Department. which, he said, had
been used to decorate the residences of in
dividuais and in one instance to grace the
mansion Of a distinguished member of Con
.rcss who had run away.
Mr. Lawrence said: 1t occurred in the
administration OF Andrew johnson, and
that nothing of the kind had occurred since.
Mr.. Farnsworth retOrted that the officers
guilty of that Offcnse had been continued
to the present time.
MIR. Eldridge desired to know the name
of the member. He wished to know if he
was Democrat.
Mr.. Farnsworth said His politics were
of that uncertain kind that it would be diff
icult to tell. He had been a Democrat and
almost everything else.
4 sharp, personal debate then ensued be-
tween Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts. and
Mr.. FarnswOrth in which the former denied
the charges intinlated by Dir. Farnsworth,
saying:
The man who accused the whole world
only convicted but one.
After il direct denial of his statement, by
his colleague OF the pOstO!hcc committee.
hat he had allowed the Boston postOtfice
item to 60 by, and had turned to the Treas
ury Department, and had intimated that
.he new mirrors had been loaned for his re-
si.lence, he said there was not word of
ruth in it.
Mr.. Farnsworth said he had before init
mated. but now he asserted that it was sus-
ceptble OF proof that the member from
Massachusetts was interested in stone
quarry which supplied the granite for the
Boston pcstoffice. He asserted that a
former member of General Buffers staff.
when at New Orleans, had bought a quarry
he knew nothing about by the advice of the
member, and that he then obtained the
contract through the influence and assist
ancc of this member, although he was the
highest bidder. The quarry was known as
Buffers quarry.
The discussion becoming personal. Mr..
Dawes moved that the debate on the para
graph close. and it was SO ordered, and the
amendment was adopted.

VERSAILLES, February 22.-The official
MOniteur says: France must decide upon
war or peace Immediately. Delay dete-
riorates the strength Of Germany. France
has long. known the conditions whereon Ger
many is ready to conclude peace. These
are based upon injuries formerly inflicted
and guarantees for the future. Compared
with the injuries, the demands are moder-
ate. and the longer the delay the harder
will be the conditions. We hope this is I'm
derstOol at Bordeaux. II the German terms
are rejected tho war continues.

WashinQtOn's birthday.

There are few things 40 gratifying as the
revival of the feeling which dispOscs the
American people to make a holiday OF
Washington's birthday, tho twenty second
of February. For some years past the OBJ
servance OF the day had fallen into des-
uctude. and particularly was this 80 in
New Orleans. as for several years the day
remained without other notice than few
lines in the daily journals There Is no
common tie among Americans more general
than veneration for the memory of Wash
ington 1t is a common feeling inssThich all
can ioin, no matter how much party antag-
onism or violent feeling exists.
The military display yesterday shows
that some of the old Amcricanism is reviv-
ing. True. the day was not observed to the
desirable extent by the generality OF our
business men, but a beginning is something.
We hope to see the time when the streets
will be thronsed with people in holiday at
tire, when the ringing of bells will join with
the boom of cannon az indications of uni
versal rejoicing.
Yesterday was distinguished by the
parade of the Louisiana Legion, together
with the Fifth Regiment Louisiana Militia.
The military assembled i'll Lafayette square
for inspection and dress parade. full
salute was fired, and the military then
formed and marched through the principal
streets. They were fine looking body OF
men, and their full military department evil
denced that some way or another they had
smelled powder in the field of battle.
We noticed as part of the Fifth Reg siment,
company G, from Algicrs, commanded by
Captain Lorio. The whole turnout was
| very creditablc to the military spirit of our
Young men, and we hope to see the militia
| organizations increased yearly.

Professor Oakley, the Edinburgh organ
ist, at concert the other day, when he
played some of Bach's fuSues, said to his
audience Il am quite aware that fugues
are not generally popular with my audience
here; and, indeed. in consequence Of their
intricacy, fuSues are difficult to follow, ex-
cepting to musicians. But nevertheless,
the more you hear of Bach, the better you
will like him, and his music is a very good
tonic for improving your musical taste. The
dose prepared for you to-day is very slight
one, and hope that to some here it may not
prove unpalatable."
