WASHINGTON, February "A. S,
Hatch, Of the firm Of Fisk Il Hatch,
of New York, is here advocating a 3
per cent funding bond. Hatch is, OF
claims to be, the man whose influence
gave the country the 4 per cents, and
he is now anxious that he should
again induce congress TO pass a law
reducing interest to a 3 per cent bond,
running for not a shorter term than
ten years, which can be foated
at par, because there is money enough
seeking investment, the owners of
which are DESTROYS simply of safety,
aud do not want the trouble of watch
ing their investments. Mr.. Hatch has
been very busy among the members of
the senate finance committee.
Whether he has made any impression
or not remains to be seen. He has
certainly not made an inroad upon the
convictions of some of the committee.

A GENERAL HOSPITAL.
The Commissioners Urge the Establish.
memt Of Such AN InstItutIOn.

The District Commissioners have re-
piled to a recent letter from Senator Vance, of the
Senate District Committee in relation to the me
mortal of the heirs of Daniel Carroll, proposing that
the Government purchase the DuddingtOn prop
erty as site for general hospital. The Commits
sioners say that the necessity for a general hos
pital has been strongly urged upon their attention
by many of the citizens of the District and men,
bers of the medical profession.
The only accommodations at the disposal of the
Commissioners are those at the Washington Asy
lum, which, as it is attached to the work-house,
brings the unfortunate and the criminal sick to-
gether. The Commissioners state that they are in
formed that the hospital accommodations of New
York is in the ratio of one bed to III inhabitants
Philadelphia, one to 80; Baltimore, one TO 150 of
the whole population. These ratios are vastly in
excess of any provision heretofore made, or which
the Commissioners would consider necessary for
this city, but the board is unanimously of the
opinion that general hospital, sufficient in its
accommodations to relieve tie physicians and pri-
vatecitizens of the brrflepsh shich they are now
compelled to BEAR should ii established at once.

Senator Logan, in the course of few

had distinguished himself as the enemy Of reform

friend and representative of the Washington claim

upon him by correspondents of the Tribune had
become common Of late years and that as he could
not in the Senate chamber fifty characterize this
last attack, he would content himself with SAYING
that the author of this low, base falsehood was
wanting in all the characteristics of gentleman,
and he (Mr. Logan now made all enduring record
for the benefit of that person that lie might have it

Arrangements were perfected for the purchase of

officer by the 18th of the month.
The armory is well located thoroughly fitted up

pleasant place of assembly for the honorary mem
bers, who witness the evolutions and manual of
the veterans on Monday and Thursday evenings
of each week. The corps has an active member

Additions are being continually made to.its NUM-

upon the volunteer army, which they represent.

A Breeze ON Southern Chains.

When the bill for the relief of Mrs. E.
P. Page, of Virginia. came up again i'll the House
yesterday, it laid on the table motion of Mr..
Goode, of that State. Mr.. Goode denied that it
a war claim and that he himself or the Southern
people did not expect pay for losses incurred dur
ing the rebellion. The Southern people, he said,
had gone into the war with their eyes open and
had staked all upon the issue and lost.
Mr.. Copger said: If it be true that the gentle
NAH did represent the Southern people then let
their representatives collect express wagons and
wheebarrOWs, go to the committeeman on war
claims andca away the thousands of papers filed
there awaiting the action of the House to the
tune of Garry Ne Back to Old Virginny's Shore"
Mr. Goodies book of nature revealed beautiful
world, and Mr.. Goodies proclamation here to-day
would, fit were believed, relieve the hearts of
millions of people of the Northern States from a
fear of future action by Congress. If the other
Southern Representatives would, like the gentle
man from Virginia, stand up and make the same
declaration, there would never again be occasion
for the venerable old man who was held forth as
hale, vigorous old man for the campaign of 1884
