General Washington Intelligence
IBy telegraph TO the Dispatch,l

WASHINGTON, January 27.-The
House Committee on Coinage, Weights,
and Measures to-day began the con-
sideration of the silver question.
The whole subject was discussed in an
informal way, and while the members
spoke more freely than heretofore, they
did not state their views specifically,
but in very general terms. The dis
cussion took very wide range.
The following resolution was present
ed by Mr.. Lanham, of Texas, during
the session of the committee
Resolred, That it is the duty of the
Committee on Coinage, Weights, and
Measures, at as early day as practical
BILE, to report to the House bill look
ing to the free coinage of standard silver
dollars.
Mr.. Scott, Of Pennsylvania, there
upon presented as substitute for this
resolution the following:
ReSolred, AS the sense Of this COM
mittee that the best interests of the
country cannot be promoted by any bill
now before the committee looking to a
free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Mum, of Indiana, also presented
a resolution on the subject, which read
as follows:
ReSolUed, That it is the sense Of this
committee that the laws regulating and
providing for the issue Of gold and sill
yer certificates should be so amended as
to provide for the retirement Of the same
and for the issue of coin certificates in
their stead.
No action was taken by the commit
tee upon any of these resolutions, nor
did they elicit distinct expression Of
the views from any Of the members. 1t
was resolved that the question should
be further discussed and opinions sought
from different persons interested in the
question until February 10th, when the
committee will proceed to consider the
distinct propositions now before them.
Late this afternoon Mr.. Canda's
bond was received, found to be salts
factory, and approved. The President
signed Canda's commission, and it was
forwarded to him by special mes
senger. This evening instructions were
also sent to Canda to qualify at once,
so as to be able to take formal posses
sion of the Sub-Treasury tomorrow
morning.

tons of Ex-Governor Bloxham, of

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
THE cIvfI-SERvTcE LAW.

The New Commissioners Before the HsDse
Communicable Practical working OF the
Act
tBy telegraph to the pispatch.l
WASHINGTON, January 27.--The
Civil.Service Commissioners to-day APP
peared before the House Committee on
Civil-Service Reform and explained the
provisions and practical effect OF the
ciyil-service act. They had embodied
their views in written statement,
which was read TO the committee. In
this paper the commissioners say that a
a majority Of the present commission
ers have been in Office but short
time, and are not prepared to speak
from their own experience in respect
to the complete adequacy Of the law
to the accomplishment Of its de-
olared purposes. They understand that
their predecessors, upon whom de-
volyed the labor of construct
ing q practicable system for
the administration Of the law, found in
their experience no reason for recon-
mending any change in the act, and say
the present commissioners have thus fer
found no reason for different opinion.
At the same time they are not prepared
to deny themselves the privilege OF re-
commencing changes hereafter should
they be deemed desirable. They urge
that provision be made for an increase
in the clerical force Of the Commission,
and the especial Importance Of proyid-
ing an assistant examiner, whose salary
should not be less than e. 500 per an
nun.
In reply to inquiries the commits
siOners said they were opposed TO the
removing restriction, which provides
that no pensioner sixty-fve years Of
sge shall be examined by the Commits
sion. While few persons over that
sge might properly be examined they
thought that, as a rule, men should not
be appointed over that age. There was
only ten per cent. Of the Depart
ment service in which special fitness
was required, and the rule did not ex-
tend to these places. They called
the attention of the committee to
certain inequalities in classification,
and recommended that they be cor
rected. AS an instance Of this, they said
that a man appointed copyist in the
Treasury Department would receive
5000 per annum, while an appointee to
a similar position in the Post-0ffice
Department would receive only 1920.
The commissioners said that five out Of
every twenty persons examined by the
Commission had secured appoint
ments. They also said that since the
law went into effect there had been only
six hundred charges in the departmental
service out Of six thousand persons
subject TO the civil-service rules.
A number Of questions were put to
the commissioners by the committee re-
gardiDg the proposition to examine all
persons who did not enter the civil SER
vice under the operations of the law.
Some discussions also occurred as to
the means best calculated to insure
equal distribution Of appointments
among the States and Territories based
upon their population; but, without ac-
ton, the committee adjourned the
hearing until next Wednesday.

Congressman BoateiIe's ReiOinder,


WASHINGTON, January 27.-Con-
gresham Boutelle to-day sought, but
failed to obtain, leave to lay formally
before the House and have printed in
the Record certain citations from official
documents in support of his statement
made last week relating to the destruc-
ton of the dry-dock at the Portsmouth
navy-yard. Congressman Wise, of Vir-
ginia, had declared in reply that the
dry-dock had never been destroyed.
The citations which Mr.. Boutelle Of
lered are four in number, of which the
following is the substance
Major-G General John E. Wool re-
ported to the Secretary Of War under
date of Fort Monroe, May IL, 1862,
that on the 18th he had visited the
maynard and "found all the work
shops, storehouses, and other buildings
in ruins, having been set on fire by the
rebels, who at the same time partially
blew up the dry dock"
Flag-0flicer S. W. Goldsborough, of
the North Atlantic Blockading Squad.
ron, reported on May -, 1862, to the
Secretary Of the Navy, that he had Wis
tied the navy-yard while the property
was still burning. He said NEARLY
everything is destroyed. OF the build
ings, the officers quarters alone re-
manned intact. The
dock gates are all destroyed and the
pier ends connected with the gates
blown up to partial degree, but other
wise the dock itself is uninjured."
The next day Admiral Goldsborough
reported as follows "The reports in
the papers about the navy-yard at Nor
folk are utterly and entirely false. To
have destroyed it more effectually than
has been done would have been diff
cult task. Essentially, it is in utter
ruins"
Commodore Joseph Smith, chief of
the Bureau Of Yards and Docks, in his
annual report said of the work at the
Norfolk navy yard, 1.-The dry-dock has
been pumped out by the aid Of tempo
Tary pumps so that its condition could
be ascertained. The turning gates were
destroyed and the masonry about them
considerably injured to the depth of
about twenty feet below the coping.
The floating gate was seriously injured
by fire and powder
The masonry at the entrance and below
points twenty feet from the coping ap-
pears to be injured. The steam engine
for pumping out the dock was de-
strOyed by the rebels, but the pumps
were but slightly injured"

houthern Passenger Convention.


ATLANTA, GA, January 27.-The
Southern Passenger Convention held its
meeting here to-day. Commissioner
Slaughter presided, and the following
lines signed articles Of agreement Of
association and were admitted to men,
bership: Rome Railroad, Of Georgia /;
Florida Railway and Navigation Com
pany, and Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railroad. 1t was thought that
the Illinois Central, Cincinnati South
ern, and Mississippi-yalley roads
would become members of the
Convention, but the Illinois Gen.
trail and the Mississippi-Valley were not
represented, and General Passenger
Agent Collbran, of the Cincinnati
Southern, who was present, stated.that
his line would not join the Convention
without the other two. The Conven-
tion passed greater portion Of the
time in discussing passenger rates to
and from all points covered by the
Southern Passenger Convention, but
nothing definite was done. The dis
cusSiOn showed strong tendency to
increase classes of rates, and particu-
larly emigrant rates. Another meeting
will be held tomorrow.
