WASHINGTON.

WAsHNGToN, January 19.-The House
Committee on Civil Service will report
bill reducing the Deputy Commissioners
OF Internal Revenue IRON three TO two
and providing that q vacancy in office Of
the First Deputy be filled by the appoint.
ment OF one oi the existing deputies.
General and Mrs. Pope arrived here
this evening from Fort Leayenworth,
having come on the invitation oI the
President to spend a week as guests at
the Executive Mansion.
Hon. d. T. Waite, Of Ohio, has been
nominated for Chief Justice.
THE NOMINEE FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.
The nomination Of Marion r. Waite, OF
Ohio, to be Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court was a surprise to Senators and all
others about the capital, including the
Justices OF the Court. Subsequently the
Senate In Executive session referred the
nomination TO the, Committee on the Ju-
dietary, who will probably tomorrow re-
port tavorably upon it. The nomination
recalled the fact that he acted as one OF
the counsel at the Geneva Tribunal OF
Arbitration, and some Of the Senators
were acquainted with him as an able law.
yer Of thirty years standing, and although
a Republican, not an active partisan, and
at the present time President OF the Ohio
Constitutional Convention. 1t was dis.
covered on hooking at the Supreme Court
record, that year ago tomorrow, Mr..
Waite was, on motion Of Caleb Cushing,
admitted to the bar OF that court as an
attorney. Senators Of. both parties speak
well OF the nomination, and there seems
to be no doubt Of its confirmation.
PATENT CONVENTION.
In accordance with the idea of the
patent convention which recently closed
its session in Washington, 1t is proposed
to establish q branch association with as
little delay as possible in each State and
territory, with q President, who shall be
Vice President Rs oblciO OF the National
Association. An effort will be made to
hold an International Patent Congress in
Philadelphia at the time Of the Centennial
celebration. ...r. .LlI-
-,...-s,.--, GENERAL HOWARD.
The House Committee on Military AZ
fairs will hold session tomorrow, at
which the sense Of the committee will be
tested by vote whether in the matter oil
charges against General Howard the
committee shall proceed with the inves.
tigatIon, or whether they will recommend
that the subject be transferred tosa mill
tary court Of inquiry for trial. The com.
mittee are about equally divided on these
propositions.

ROnhaul is Here,

About two years ago. Mr., Melville
BOnham gave two of his inimitable en-
tertainments IN this place, and those
who heard him were delighted and
charmed. Our people did not turn out
to hear him as they should have done,
however, much to their discredit. We
never knew circus given here that was
not we'll patrOniZed. Mr.. Bonham was
much better received at Franklin and
Pulaski, where he had good houses,
and received the most flattering compli-
ments from the cultivated gentlemen of
those places. Tonight Mr.. Bonham
will appear before our people at the
Hammer Hall, and we sincerely trust
that they will show their appreciation
of a literary entertainment which can
not be surpassed in this country. We
write in an enthusiastic strain, because
we are anxious for our people to show
that they are capable of appreciating
something of higher order than cir
Gus or negro minstrel troupe.

preached Wednesday. There has been some
very able sermons delivered during the

made on sinners. We think, however, that
the meeting has proved quite a revival to
the Christians at this place, and we hope
much good may grow out of the meeting yet

Of her father and mother, and was beloved
for her gentle disposition, her amiable and
winning manners, and her clear, bright mind
by all who knew her. AS the sweet moon
on the horizons verge, she was just on the
eve of womanhoOd, and when the earliest
flowers began to bloom, and sweet song
birds were tuning their voices to welcome
returning spring, She passed away from
this, 10 that bright world, where flowers
fade not, and where sorrows never come.
