formation, as to whether any official noti-
f~ication or circular letter was addressed by
the Department Of State to foreign Powers,
or to Ministers or Consular Agents Of the
United States, for presentation to foreign
Governments, on the occasion Of the recent
visit to foreign lands by General Grant, or
prior thereto in relation to said visit, and
if so, its nature and character, and all cor

In the Senate, yesterday, q communica-
ton was presented from the Secretary Of
the Interior stating that his estimates Of
March 5, 1880, for the deficiency for ar
rears, and army and navy pensions, had
been found insufficient, and transmitting
increased estimates. Commissioner Ben
tley's revised estimates are for army PEN
sions, So, SOC, 900; navy pensions, 1926, 900;
pay and allowance, $751; 300 total, So, 740,-
600; which is an increase OF So, 085 900 over
the estimate OF March 5th.
Randall talks mildly about an impossible
adjournment on the 9th, but if the House
is wise, it will insist on breaking up his
deadlock by Craftsmanship, and compel
him to allow the Democrats in Congress to
put themselves On record as having done
something during this year. 1t is absurd
to suppose that an adjournment can be
reached before the middle of June. 1t is
more likely to be delayed till the middle of
July.
Secretary Sherman's friends have never
been in better spirits than now. A Dele

two candidates will be Grant and Tilden.
