ney, HillaTd, made motion for Pres

of his antecedents. AS to S7nbOrn, he

Gus man. He would as soon think of
mentioning Daniel Pratt 10 that charae-
ter. He believed that Sanborn was
simply put forward as a man through
whom knowledge or information of rev.

PARIS, May 19.-The moderate right
/ object to an impersonal sspfeTrdte, be-
cause it would be equivalent to recog-
milton Of the republic. The extreme
right are determined to oppose Goalard
or any other chief OF the ministry whose
platform embraces the adoption Of the
constitutional bill. Goulsrd, finding no
sure support in the left, center or right,
! Is therefore compelled to rely mainly
upon the minority in the assembly. 10
I is expected that the ministry will be
/ completed tonight, with GOulard and
! DsCases, NJ. Agne and Bsdet at the
head of the principal departments.

ingmen's ass-meeting held here last
night resolutions were adopted demand
ing the enforcement Of the eight-hour

The house committee on pOstoffices
and post-rOads to-day agreed to report
that the contract made with the Pacific
mail steamship company, giving a sub
sidy of five hundred thousand dollars
per annum for additional mail service is
null and void by reason of nonfulfill-
ment of the contract; the sum appTO-
priated to be converted in the treasury,
and that no additional appropriation be
made under that contract. This leaves
the old contract half million per an
mum, having three years to run undis-
turbed.
The secretary of state sent to the
house to-day a communication in re-
lation TO the landing of cOnvicts and
paupers upon our shores from foreign
countries. The secretary suggests the
passage of a law empowering the Presi-
dent TO return to countries from whence
they came all paupers, vagaDOnds and
convicts who may be landed on the
shores of the United States. This should
be done by compelling vessels who bring
them here to take them away. It is also
suggested that heavy fine be imposed
upon vessels engaging in this business.
The communication was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.
The house committee on patents
agreed to report adversely upon the ex-
tension of the Atwood car-Rheel patent.

President Grant approves of decOrat-
ing the graves of the Union and Con-

stoned By war.
Miss RsIIie'ss W eddiDg Preparations.
WASHINGTON, May WorkmeD
to-day commenced the decoration Of the
room in the executive mansion in which
is to take place, Thursday morning, Miss
Grants lriage to Mr.. SartOris. Three
hundred invitations have been issued, !
the largest number TO persons out OF
Washington, but it is thought that not /
more than half that number will be /
present. The object on the part of the I
Presidents family seems to have been /
to render the wedding as private as pos
sible, carefully avoiding everything that I
would give to it an official character. /
The only foreign representative present (
will be Sir Edward Thornton, and wife. /
The guests viii include the more inti- !
mate friends of the Presidents family,
such as justices of the supreme court,
members of the cabinet, Speaker Blaine,
Speaker Freelinghuysen, A. @. Thur
man, General Sherman, Admiral Por-
ter, George w. Childs, A. J. Drexiel,
Adolph E. Borie, together with the la
dies of their respective households, and
others of various cities. On the morn
ing of the wedding the gates of the exec
utive mansion will be closed on all ex-
eept invited guests. During to-day
large number OF splendid and valuable
presents TO the bride were received.
They are principally from Philadelphia.
