scene im the House.

New YORK, April 90.
Mrs. David Dudly Field died at Bal
tinIore yesterday.
A Heraid's Brownsville special says
General Q~uieroga with 1900 soldiers is
in pursuit OF Trevino. Pedro Martinez
is expected in Monterey with 600 cav
airy. Rimilas and Pollacco are n
route for the frontier with their brig.
AIDES. Copda arrived at Monterey
Saturday With 4YO infantry and foul
pieces of artillery. 1t is reported that
Varemio and Trevino are making for
the frontier. 1t is their last resort.
The Heraid's Washington special
says: The report OF Special Agent
Phillips on the misconduct of avenue
officials in California, and the mon
strous frauds committed on the rev.
emu in that State, attracts a good deal
of remark here, especially because
Phillips very plainly limited that some
Senators and Representatives from
California, and especially Sargent, have
encouraged these frauds and stand be-
hind the corrupt officials, whom Phil
lips exposes. He charges directly that
Sargent made charges of misconduct
against Clarke, an honest and incpr-
ruptsble officer, and e~Adeavored to
procure his removal for The reason
that Clarke ordered the seizure of a
distillery owned by a political ally of
Sargent. 1t has long been known here
that affairs were in a very dis
orderly condition in California, and it
has been noticed that, As Phillips s ates,
the revenue officers there are the crea-
lures Of United States Senators, which
makes reform very difficult.
The Times Washington special hints
that the delay OF business in the House
il first to make the Senate pass bills
when they are received without
amendment, and also to criticise and
investigate the Republican candidate
after he is nominated for President.
This pleasant prospect suggests to gen.
tlemen who desire to be President u
little DETERMINATION.
An amusing scene occurred in the
House to day, when the Speaker ad-
ninistered the oath to Finney, the
member who was in Wallis seat to-
day, by . strict party vote. Finney
WAS in the Confederate service, and the
Speaker, uninformsd, started to ad
minister the ir0n-clad oath. Finney's
upheld arm dropped as though he had
beep shot. Great laughter followed,
and, OIL explanation, the modified oatlI
was administered.
The Postofiice Appropriation bill Is
completed and will be reported TO the
House.
The Worlds Washington dispatch
says Chief DOorkeerer Fitzhugh, of
the House OF Representatives, repub-
fishes a card denying the story that he
served a term in the p~enitentiary. Ger
titled copies of indictments for arson,
larceny and perjury against Fitzhugh
are here, but the cases were never
tried.
The Tlbune's Washington dispatch
says there has long been y well settled
conviction that in the matter of the
sale and account OF captured and ahan-
doned property in the South, in conse-
quencc of the war, and the acts of
Congress, mOnstrous frauds have been
committed, and the House Committee
on Expenditures In the Treasury De.
partment, has eDdeavored to find. out
the facts. During the past few days
inquiry developed facts OF q most A.
founding character, but members Of
the committee are pledged to secrssy.
They hold sessions with closed doors
and are very reticent. Enough 10
known, however, to warrant the state
mont that there is . deficit OF several
millions between the accounts of sales
and the return Of money from such
sales. In the matter Of cotton the diff
ference IL very great.
