AT THE OPENING of the session of Congress
General Butler will introduce his bill providing
for a convertible bond at low rate of interest,
about 65-1O0 per cent. 1t will be remembered
that he introduced similar bill at the last SEES
sion, and made an elaborate speech in eXplana-
ton OF 1t. The central idea is that parties hold
ing these bonds can, IN case of monetary
stringency, present them to the United States
Treasurer and receive currency on demand.

THE REPORT OF GEN. HUMPHREYS, chief en-
gineer U. s. army, enclosing the reports of his
subordinate officers, has been submitted to the
War department, and Is elaborate. There are
upwards OF three hundred different items COW
cred by the report. The estimates will not ex-
coed those of last year. The appropriations
asked for western lakes are very large. Speak
ing Of the improvements progressing and an
ucipated In Virginia rivers, the report says of
the Rsppahannock that channels were com
pleted through the Fredericksburg and Spots
wood bars to a width Of seventy feet and depth
OF eight feet at low water, which we're after
wards widened to 40 feet, when funds became
available from the appropriation OF June 10
1872. Several wrecks have also been removed
near the city OF Fredericksburg. Proposals
have beer invited for restoring depth OF eight
feet, which Is deemed sufficient for the existing
commerce on the river. The amount required
for the next Is seventy five hundred dollars.
Surveys were made at Aqua Creek in 1871
and an estimate was submitted amounting TO
$4,000, for giving channel from the six feet
water near the mouth of the creek to the " mar
rows" above, about forty feet in width at bot
tom and six feet deep at mean low water. Con-
gress, up TO this time, has only appropriated
proposals received were far beyond the appro-
priation. No valuable result can be attained at
that place BY the expenditure OF $500.

CURRENCY FOR THE WEsT.-Controller OF the
Currency Knox will, in his forthcoming annual
report, urge the repeal of the law authorizing
the withdrawal of twenty five millions of ma
tiOnal bank currency from the eastern states
for distribution among the western states, they
not having their just proportion; at the same
time he will recommend that national bank
notes be increased twenty-five millions, and
that the whole of this amount be distributed
among the western states the same as at pre-
sent.

LOCAL MATTERS.

ANSrAL, MEETING OF THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH SUNDAY ScHooL.-The annual meet
ing of the Sunday school of the First Bap
tist church took place on Sunday afternoon
The audicncc-room was quite full of officers
teachers, pupils, and friends of the school
The former officers were reelected. An In
tercsting discussion occurred on the pro.
nricty of cnlisting the Sunday school in the
memorial movement. It was decided to take
up collections in the various classes for that
object. The report of the infant class elicit
cd much favorable comment. The number
OF pupils on the roll is 227. and the average
attendance is about 1870. During 1872 the
infant class raised $3.50, of which 500 were
for the memorial, $40 to educate Chinese
girl, $40 for INDECENT children, and the re.
mainder for papers and the incidental ex.
pcnses OF the class.
Quite number Of prizes were presented
for punctuality, regularity of attendance, re.
citing verses Of Scripture, and for bringing
the largest number of scholars into the
school. Everything passed off pleasantly
and the efficient superintendent, Robert Ii
Bosher, and his co-laborers felt quite en-
couraged to undertake the labors Of the
present year.

UNITED SERVICE AT THE FIRST PREsBYTE
RIAS CBURCH.-In consequence Of the appre
hendcd danger to the building of the Tblro
PRESBYTERIAN church OH the part of aport'ol
of the congregation, no services were held
in that church on Sunday. By invita-
ton of the authorities of the First Pres
byterian church (Rev. DR.. .Preston's) the
members Of the Third church united with
them in the morning services, Rev. c. R
Vaughan officiating and administering the
sacrament.
Should there be no further caving in o
the tunnel by next Sabbath, we presume the
congregation of the Third church will re
suine worship in their own church editice
1t will in all probability by that time be de-
vclopcd whether the building is in imme
diate danger.
We learn that the vcstry of st. Johns (Epis

kindly offered the use of their church or
Sunday between the hours of 2 and p. NJ.

Music HATH CHARMS TO SooTHE THE SAVAGE
BREAsT.-To destroy the dull monotony of
legislative life and seek little recreation
from the veXed questions of coupons, inter-
est, and oyster fundrlns, several members
of the House of Delegates have organized
themselves into an impromptu glee club, and
during the morning hours, before the House
is called to order, they assemble around the
scat of the member from Orange county and
indulge their musical talents, to the infinite
satisfaction Of many admiring listeners. The
choir is led by the deep, large bass voice of
the handsome member from Isle Of Wight,
with an occasional note from the member
from Accomac, who has magnificent voice
for yelling O-y-s-t-e-r-s! Anon the rich
borytone voice of the venerable member
from Portsmouth is heard minglng with the
sweet soprano Of the junior member from
Alexandria-all combined produce melody
to which Patti and Scolara could not hold q
talow candle, and old Crphcus himself
would have broken his pipes for envy could
he have listened to their syren songs.

CORRECTION paragraph yesterday ap-
peared in the local department of the DIS
patch stating that certain persons had been
elected and installed as officers of Eagle
Lodge, No. 1, '. D. o. B., and that the
meeting at which this was done was held in
the saloon formerly kept by Louis Gimml,
on Brook avenue. We learn from the pro-
prietor of the saloon that no such lodge meets
there. Indeed, we are satisfied that there Is
no such lodge in existence, and that the per-
son who gave us the pretended information
wished at least to annoy the proprietor and
the other gentlemen named His written
statements were handed over the counter
and receiyed-as has been our habit in regard
to statements concerning tue election of off,
GERS of all sorts of societies-and published
without suspicion on our part that they
were untrue. We cannot recall the name of
our informant, but we are confident that it
was some person whose name was known to
lis. We regret the annoyance or injustice
that the paragraph has occasioned to the
gentlemen whose names have been thus
lightly handled, though they have not been
wrongcd so much as we have ourselves.

State will realize more money by an exclu.
sive wholesale business than it does under
the present system. The committee at the
close of his remarks passed the resolution by
in order to obtain ull the information ON the
