Az meeting of the Educational Com
r,;,tee of the House was held this morning,
the impression was that the educational
h;ll would be considered. But it was not.
Mr.. Willis, democrat, of Kentucky, mem
her of the committee, says that he and
large number of his fellow democrats are in
favor of the object of that bill, and that
rather than have no bill at all he would be
willing to take the Senate bill just as it is,
but that it requires unanimous consent to
take that bill from the Speakers table, and
that few who are opposed to 1t nave
agreed that one shall be on guard all the
time to object. He hopes, however, that
the conference of the friends of the bill soon
to bs held will devise some means by which
either the House or the Senate bill can be
brought before the House, when he is sure
one of them will be passed just as reported
or amended, az the case may be.
1t was printed in the morning papers that
an agreement had been made by which the
friends of bills for small public buildings
had consented not to press those bills at
this session, in order that the bills for large
buildings might go through the more easily.
Friends of the former bills deny that any
such agreement has been made, and say
that all the bills, little and big, are together
and will be considered at the same time.
Mr.. Buckner, chairman of the banking
and currency committee, says the McPher
son bill, which allows the national banks a
circulation equal to the par value of their
bords,w probably be passed, but that that
will only afford the banks temporary relief,
and that Congress must eventually come TO
his idea, which is that the Government shall
issue all the circulation notes. He says he
will on Monday next introduce bill to sus-
pend the coinage of the silver dollars and the
issue of silver certificates.
Mr.. Freeman, the attorney FIR the Pos
Office Department., is so very anxious for a
free bridge across the Potomac at George
town that he advises iDcendiaries to burn
the aqueduct bridge, and thus destroy the
Alexandra canal. Senator Riddleberger's
proposition 10 destroy that canal, while not
so iDlammatory, is just as effective. 1t is
| to build free bridge half q mile further up
the river.
In the Senate to-day the report of Col.
Rock well, superintendent of public build
ipgs and grounds, advising system of un-
derground telegraph and telephone wires,
was read and referred.
Virginia republican, in the city to day,
says Lieut. Gov Lewis Of his State will
arrive here next week and spend the winter
in this city. He also says he understands
that General Malone is working night and
day for the next Governorship of Virginia,
and that he, the gentleman referred to,
hopes the General will be the republican
candidate, so that he may be buried "for
keeps"
Among the bills introduced in the Senate
to-day was one by Mr.. Miller, of California,
granting pension Of $1,000 to General
Grant for life.
In the House to day Mr.. Barbour offered
several District of Columbia bills, and one
for the relief of Thomas McCardle, of Fred
erick county, Va, which were appropri-
ately referred.
The House Ways and Means Committee

The impression of some Of the members is
that the committee will report a bill re-
ducing aud reforming the tariff in accord.
amce with The Recommendations Of Secretary
McCulloch and the President.
When the house adjourns to day it will
be- until Monday, aud the Senate will
probably do the same.
