WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.
WASHINGTON, January 2.-The Potomac is
blockaded with ice. ~. s..
Railroad trains arc delayed and tele-
graphic communications slow throughout
this region
The debt statement shows an increase
during the past month OF S3,585,142. Coin
in the Treasury, S96,500,000; currency,
$9,500,000. There is no explanation OF the
increased debt beyond a small revenue.
Another interview with the President
is published, upon which the changes are
rung in specials to the Tribune, Herald,
World, and whoever would publish OF pay
for it. 1t is harsh, and covers with its ap-
proval all the claims Of the Republican
party. 1t may be said that it does not ac-
cord in tone or spirit with the views OF the
President as fairly given by Mr.. Gobright
in his report of the two interviews which
the President accorded to him.
The Senate committee on counting the
electoral vote had another session to-day.
Mr.. Conkling was with the committee to-
day for the first time. The proceedings are
still preliminary. No propositions OF any
kind looking to final action have been
made. ...s
The sister committee of the House also
has u meeting in preparation for the joint
session.
Judge spofford delivered the Democratic
electoral vote Of Louisiana to Mr.. Ferry,
who gave him no receipt. 1t will be opened
with others at the joint session Of the two
houses when the vote is counted. The de-
livery was witnessed by Senator Bayard and
Representative Willis.
The Democratic vote Of South Carolina
was also delivered to-day by Colonel Har-
rington in the presence OF Senators Gordon
and Bayard, and Representative Willis.
No receipt was given.
The first Cabinet meeting for two weeks
was held to-day, and was full three hours
long. The action was negative throughout.
The application of the Louisiana Republic
can Legislature was referred to, but the
Cabinet still holds that troops already In
Louisiana are sufficient to cope with any
difficulties that may arise, which would
properly demand military interference.
The situation in South Carolina and Flo
rida was discussed, but nothing pro-
posed. ta
Secretary Fish presented some appeals
from the Rio Grande, but it was considered
that existing orders cover the case, and the
State, War, and Navy Departments are eX-
pected and instructed to act promptly
should new eXigencies arise.
Thorough inquiry confirms the statement
that the action of the Cabinet to-day was
negative and conservative. No action will
be taken regarding South Carolina, Florida,
or Louisiana, unless some overt act OF dis
order makes Federal interference impera-
tive. al
The recognition Of Hampton or Cham
bsrlain, in South Carolina; Nichols or
Packard, in Louisiana; Stearns or Drew, in
Florida, will be avoided, IL possible. The
taxpayers have the issue in their own
hands. .~-

RAID OF THIEVES ON THE GosPoRT NAVY
YARD-.FATAL RESULT OF A NRw-YEAR'S
THIEvrNG EXPLOIT.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
PORTSMOUTH, Va, January 2.-Last night
a gang OF river-thieves made raid on the
navy-yard for the purpose Of robbing the
United States steamship Canandaigua Of
metal, &C. One OF tile thieves, named Mi
chael Joyce, entered the yard at o'clock p.
NJ. and secreted himself on board the ship.
At O'Clock, according to arrangement, his
confederates arrived in an open boat and
were observed by watchmen Med and
Tatem to make fast to the airport on
the river side OF the ship, from whence
joyce commenced handing out composition
tubes to the men in the boat. The watch
men challenged the thieves in the boat, but
receiving no answer, commenced firing on
them. The boat instantly pulled into the
darkness and disappeared. Attic same mo-
ment Joyce attempted to pass to the pivot
port and throw himself into the river, but
the Waterman fired, and Joyce fell to the
deck, shot through the lungs. He was taken
to the marine barracks and died in few
moments. The deceased had borne good
character, and was an employe in the
navy-yard. He was citizen and property
owner OF Portsmouth, and during Mayor
p. G. Thomas's administration was chief of
police. He leaves a wife and two children.
The thieves in the boat escaped without
detection.

everything is, .weatherkound. The fakes

M, accompanied By, only breeze enough
to indicate the direction OF the storm, which
was from the northeast. It Is believed to be
the heaviest snow siRce 1867, when two OF

To the Common Council:
l offer to settle my present Indebtedness

ing terms II accepted by1your honorable

Petersburg Railroad Company's stock now
held as collateral for the balance due by me

The city to surrender all claims against me
and receipt in full Of all claims to date, and
pay to me $500 in cash to cover the cost Of
the records, &C., in carrying the case up to
