Advantage was taken of the fine weather of
yesterday to resume the visiting the protracted
gloomy spell interrupted, and many of the Sen
atorial families, including Mrs. Blaine and Miss
Dodge, Mrs. Hamlin and Mrs. Kellogg, received
numerous calls.
Senator Wallace, who went to attend the
democratic convention in Pennsylvania, was
accompanied by his wife, who will return here
with him.
MI. Allan McLane, who with his daughter has
been passing the winter at WOrmley's, expects
to move into the residence he has built on Iowa
Circle, opposite that OF Mr. Phelps, in about
fortnight. Every year adds to the number OF
agreeable families from other cities who, being
at liberty to choose place of residence, select
Washington as Offering more advantages, In
climate as well as society, than any other city.
Phelps intends building home for his daughter,
who was married to Mr. Sevellon Brown in Feb

1t has lately been cbronicled of one of the
London beauties that she is so fastidous in
regard to the cleanliness OF any hing she must
touch, that she has gold or silver coin secured
before putting it into her purse. The late Mrs.
Gales, OF this city, was similarly eccentric Her
old friends say that If she dropped her handker-
chief on the floor, she would not use it again
until 1t had been washed. Immediately on
returning home after a walk or drive she would
change every article of her clothing for fresh
garments. An Admiral now living here recently
related that when young lieutenant he once
offended her by riding on horseback to Ecking-
ton Qher country seaD to attend dinner party
to which she had invited him. In the rebuke
which she administered to him she implied that
he brought the odor OF the horse in his clothes
to her table, which was OF course greatly
exaggerated view of the case.

The Immediate Deficiency Bill.
POLITICAL STRUGGLE AND PROBABLE DEAD


The debate on the immediate deficiency ap-
preparation bill having taken political turn on
the paragraph providing for the pay Of general
deputy marshals and their special deputies, it is
now probable that the bill will not be disposed
OF and be law for fortnight. The democrats
seek to incorporate an amendment offered by
Mr.. Springer, providing that special deputy
marshals shall be appointed by the United
States circuit judges from the different political
palt ties, not exceeding three iu each election
precinct, and to press the qualifications OF being
able to read and write the English language.
The republicans oppose the amendment because
it is a political rider, and recognizes in the jul
dicial system politics. inasmuch as it directs
judges to make discrimination between the
parties. Mr. Reed, of Maine, it is thought,
heralded the fight, which will be made in the
Senate, led by Mr. Blaine by announcing the
foregoing view in a speech made this morning.
The misfortune of the matter is that all the
other items of the deficiency bill are absolutely
items of charity and should be passed. In
cluded in it is the appropriation for the public
printer
1t is now thought that If the democrats insist
upon the amendment, that the republicans will
make it the subject of an extended political de-
BATE and that II it goes to the President that he
will veto it. This will either compel the demo
Gratis TO back down or bring on another dead
lock between the President and Congress.

The District Investigation.

The House committee on the District of Co
lumbia to-day resumed the investigation of the
charges made against the District Commission
ers by Treasurer Gilfillan.
Joseph c. Rock testified that he Is clerk in
the engineers Office Of the District; the number
November, 1875, alleging excessive assessments,
was about $4,000; these complaints were filed
when Mr.. RoOme was in the engineers of1ice;
about 25. 600 complaints were filed by Mr.. DICK
son, broker, and about 5000 by property hold
eTS.
Lewis J. Davis testified that the barking firm
oi Lewis johnson CO, bought In some M prop
lein certificates; the firm never made any conl-
plant touching the assessment, but drawback
certificate was issued for erroneous assessments.
John A. Hurley testified that he was clerk
for VIM. Dickson; was employed in such ca
pacity in 1878; witness recognized a number of
complaints, alleging erroneous assessments,
by order S ae Of HRa &Riam 6ctson ne he had
witnessed q power Of attorney signed by Mrs.
and she signed the paper In his, witness
presence.
Mrs. Catherine Wall, widow OF Thomas Wall,
testified that her husband died is years ago,
leaving property in the District, and made
Will, in which he named his widow (the wit
messy and two others as his executors; only wit
ness qualified as execu or under the Will; wit.
ness gave Mr.. WIN. Dickson power of attorney
to collect any drawbacks which might be due
on her property: when the drawback was
ready witness wrote her husbands name on the
drawback, and the signature was attested by
two Of Mr. Dicksons clerks as witnesses.
Lieut.. HoXie testified that from 1874 until
Major Twining took his place as engineer officer
he had charge of the revision Of special assess
ments; witness made report in 1874 calculating
the special assessments aggregate about mil
lion and a half dollars and that there would be
a reduction by revision OF about per cent; the
revision OF assessments began practically in
1875, because at that time complaints of erro
neous assessments began to come in from prop
erty-holders. Witness explained at length the
mode in which special assessments were origin
ally made and the notifications made by the
present commissioners; the gross amount Of all
special assessments made by the board OF pub
lie works, on properly holders was 81 ,595 s19.42.
Witness said that the assessments made by the
board OF public works were not grossly erro-
neouS, but in many cases they were eX2es-
Sive; the fault was with legislation not being
specific enough; when the board Of public
works needed money it took all it could get un-
der the law, from the property holders; the law
allowed the board of public works to assess
reasonable proportion upon property-holders
for special improvements not exceeding one
third of such cost. the board of public works
charged to the property holders on the square
the amount of improvements in front OF eX-
empted property, such as churches and school
houses.
At 1920 O'Clock the Investigation adjourned
until Tuesday next.
