LATEST NEWS.
CONGRESSIONAL.

| Washington, Feb. 2S-SENATE.-Mr.
Logan submitted majority report adverse
| to, and Mr.. Carpenter submitted a minori-
ty report in favor of, Abbott's claim to the
North Carolina Senatorship. Three thou
sand extra copies of both reports were or
dered. The question involved is whether
votes cast for ineligible candidates are
blank.
An unsuccessful effort was made to Sc
cure a vote on the sale-of-arms investiga-
ton. The discussion was continued until
adjournment.
Mr.. Scott introduced bill supplemental
to the act of March Sd, 1871, incorporating
the Texas Pacific railroad company. The
bill provides for changing the name of the
corporation to the Texas and Southern Pa
cific railway company, and empowers it to
issue the construction and land bonds au-
thorized by the 11th section of said act, for
such amounts as it may deem needful for
construction, equipment, &c. 1t also pro-
vides that the construction Of the road shall
commence at Marshall, Texas; that 200
miles westerly shall be completed in two
years, and that the whole road shall be-
finished to San Diego within ten years from
the passage of the act.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Trumbull's S mo-
ton to reconsider the vote adopting Mr..
Conkling's amendment directing that in
quiry be made as to whether any member
of the Senate or citizen of the United
States had held unauthorized communica-
ton with any foreign government or its
agent. Lost--yeas, 10; nays, 80. The
Republicans voting to reconsider were
Messrs. Terry, of Connecticut, Logan,
Sprague, Trumbul and West. Messrs.
Sumner and Schurz did not vote.
HoUsE.-The sale-of-arms question was
introduced, but it went over under objec-
ton.
The resolution of inquiry, regarding the
reinstatement of Chinese in Cuba, was
adopted.
Mr.. Townsend offered a resolution de-
claring that the President should open ne
gotiations looking to the withdrawal of the
claim fer consequential damages from the
American case. Several objections being
made, the resolution was withdrawn.
a resolution of inquiry regarding the
sale of arms and the disposition Of the
money, was passed.
The bill extending the time for the COM
pletion of the road connecting Lakes st.
Croix and Superior occupied the balance of
the day, with no result.

UNION PASSENGER DEPoT.-The
STATE JOURNAL, some time ago, pub
lished an article favoring the erection by
the railroad companies whose lines center
here, of q grand union railroad passenger
depot. There never was a more favorable
time to consider this project, and we VEN
ture again to call the attention of our rail-
road authorities to it.
1t is well known that the present passen-
ger dep6ts are wholly inadequate in every
particular to accommodate the large pas
senger traffic, besides being inconveniently
located for the transfer of passengers from
one line to another. In the large railroad
centres Of the North and West union OF
capital and effort on the part of railroad
lines for the accommodation of travel not
only, but of the companies themselves,
has been found absolutely necessary; and
if this question could be viewed in the light
of experience before anything like perma-
nent and costly buildings are erected by a
single corporation, we are sure that very
satisfactory results would be obtained.
We urge an early conference among our
railroad men. Let them at least ascertain
to what extent union of sentiment upon
this subject exists among themselves
They need no argument from us as to the
economy of such a building, Jointly erected;
and it would certainly be an ornament to
the city as well as convenience to the
public.

LOCAL MATTERS

LEVY BRoTHERs.-0ur readers have
been informed of the stupendous arrange
nents which this enterprising firm is maxi
ing for the prosecution of their jobbing and
retail trade in all the various articles Of dry
goods, notions, &c. The new and extern
sive building now in course of construction
on the southeast corner Of Eleventh and
Main streets, will, when completed, be oc-
cuped by Levy Brothers, and no better
evidence of the, YIN and enterprise of the
firm is needed than the fact that it has Sc
cured such commodious, elegant and we'll
located quarters. This house has
long held the lead as the fashionable
dry goods emporium of Richmond, and the
liberal and acceptable manner in which the
business has been conducted entities it to
the enviable position which it has achieved
in our midst. We are convinced that it
will long maintain the fine reputation which
it now enjoys. The members of the firm
have been trained to the business in which
they are engaged, are familiar with all the
obligations and requirements of their posi-
ton, and have such connections with the
leading wholesale and importing houses Of
the North as to enable them to defy all
competition in this market. The weekly
statement Of this popular house will be
found in the sem-weekly and weekly edi-
tons of the STATE JOURNAL, and we can
assure our readers that no more reliable
or capable men can be found in the capital
of our State than Levy Brothers.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Serious COM
plants are coming to the Secretary Of State
and the Secretary of the Navy, regarding
the spiteful conduct of the health officer at
Havana towards passengers on American
steamers, the mails on board of which are
searched.
United States Marshal of South Carolina,
vice Reverdy Johnson's son.
The committee of ways and means will
report in favor of leaving the rice tariff
alone.
The Washington Stn of Wednesday eve
ming says: ut may now be safely assumed
that the correspondence in progress be-
tween the governments of the United States
and England will end in the total repudia-
ton by England of the scheme for arbitra-
ton by the Geneva conference. In any
event it may be most positively stated that
this government will continue to firmly
insist on its rights to present the
claim for indirect or consequential dam
ages, and unless the English govern
ment recedes from the position it has
taken and agrees to submit the whole
matter to honorable and impartial arbitra-
ton, all efforts on the part of the United
States to secure an adjustment will be
abandoned, and the subject in controversy
left precisely as it stood prior to the meet
ing of the Joint High Commission. 1t is,
of course, unreasonable to suppose for a
moment that Gladstone and the other lead
ers of English public opinion will recede an
inch from the unfortunate position in which
they have placed their government, and
therefore it may be predicted that the trea-
ty of Washington will be nullfied solely
through the obstinacy and pig-headedness
of our British COUSINS"

LEAVES To-NIGHT.-John S. Devlin,
one of our most extensive Main-street
clothing and furnishing goods dealers, hay
ing closed out his stock of goods and house,
hold effects, will leave Richmond this eve
nmg for New York, where he will again
take up his abode. We regret to lose Mr..
Deylin, and acknowledge that it is bad
sign when such men as he withdraw their
energy and capital from the business arena
of our city but knowing the fine advanta-
ges of our location, we are confident that
where we lose one we shall gain two. We
are informed that Mr.. Deylin will open a
new store in New York, in connection with
the great house of Devlin & Co., of that
city, on the corner of Broadway and
Twelfth streets, where he will be pleased
to see any of his old friends and custom

Naval Engagements were well pre-
sented by the Lingard company last night,
and the impersonations by William Horace
Lingard were, as usual, unparalleled. The

good audience, who appeared well satisfied
with what was going on before them.
Tonight is the last appearance and bene-
fit of William Horace Lingard and Alice
Dunning Lingard. The bill for the occa-
sion is Ii. j. Byron's new comedy, entitled
"War to the Kniie,o and Charles Mathew s

between. The company should have a
