WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10, 1872.
Secretary Deano leaves here on Thursday
evening for Cedar Keys, Florida, where he will
take the steamer to Havana. He will probably
be absent about month. He was intending to
make visit TO New Orleans but one day last
week, at the suggestion of cx-Gov. Brown of
Georgia, who was going to Florida, he changed
his plan. The secreary's visit to Havana was
decided upon without the knowledge of the
president, and has no political significance. AS
sistant Secretary Cowen will act as secretary
during Delauo's absence.
Senator Anthony to-day introduced a bill
which will enable importers of goods tram
shipped in bond TO inland ports of entry to make
oath TO their Invoices at the port of delivery, in
stead of the port where unladen from the vessel,
as under existing laws. This will, for instance,
save merchants importing through the New
York custom house to Providence in bond, the
trouble of visit to New York to certify to in
voices.
The internal revenue bill, which passed
the house Friday, abolishing the offices
of assessor and assistant assessor, will
come up in fine senate tomorrow by the re-
port of the finance committee. The committee
will append several important amendments,
and there is likely to be general debate in the
senate of the whole system of internal revenue
collections.
Mr. Fairman was to-day confirmed as post
master at Philadelphia. This action of the SEN
ate disappoints these who were expecting an
issue on the civil service reform to grow out of
his nomination.
News was received here to-day of the election
Of John j. Patterson to succeed Mr. Sawyer as
United States senator from South Carolina.
Patterson is a Pennsylvania and friend of
Senator Cameron, besides being sort of raj.
road potentate,
The senate will most likely take up to-mor-
row the house resolution for a holiday recess.
There is little doubt Of concurrence.
The house to-day began work in good earnest
on the Indian appropriation bill. Mr.. Sargent
of California, who had it in charge prepared
the way for a favorable consideration of the es-
Inmates, by relating the results of the Indian
policy the last year. Owing to the long recess,
there is little prospect of any important contest
ed legislation aside from the appropriation bills
passing both houses, as not more than ten or
fifteen bills will be left for general legislative
business. The ways and means committee OF
the house to-day had under consideration Sec.
rotary Boutwel's proposition to allow one and a
half per cent commission on negotiating the
rest Of the new loan. From what can be learned
the committee is unlavorable to so large per
cent in the house.
The appropriation committee has decided to
recommend the reimbursement of the District of
Columbia for the expense of Improvements
about public buildings, one and quarter mil
lions.
Il. c. Parsons, marshal Of the United States
supreme court, will resign tomorrow. Ex-
Lieut. Gov. Kirk is named as his probable sue.
cessor.
The attorney general is trying to arrange
some compromise of the differences which separ-
ate the two branches.
The7Alabama legislature case was considered
in the cabinet day, but conclusion was not
reached. 1t seems to be impossible for the
president TO reorganze any other legislature
than that having the recognition Of the execu-
tive of the state, The action of Gov. Loomis
will therefore guide the government in any ac-
ton that is necessary, if the difficulties are not
resolved without federal interference. HART.
