Washington, March 7.—The
nominations to-day were of no
general interest.
In the House, the bill to sup-
ply the deficiency for temporary
clerks in the treasury depart-
ment., was discussed all day, and
finally passed. It contains an
appropriation of twenty-five
thousand dollars for the clerical
force required to bring into mar-
ket the public lands iu (States
of Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi. Alabama and Florida.
Washington, March 7.—The
bill for a special session of tlie
court at Scranton, for hearing

vote in the House.

ifoania, occupied the day ou the ed, being iu
Chinese qnestian. He proposes1 propeller.

tor here, at 2:30 this morning.

Memphis, Tenn., March 7.—
The only two persons known to

agent, and a colored barber. All
o iht is were taken oft or jumped
overboard and weie picked up.
The boat had a cargo of three
hundred tons of general mer-
chandise, and a large number of
mules and hogs, all of which
were lost. At about four o’clock
the boilers exploded, jarring the
whole city. The boat was own-
ed by the Memphis and St.
Louis Packet Company, and
was valued at $40,000.
Financial-
New York, March 7.—The
Tribune says the demand for
government bonds has been un-
usually great for the last few
day s. The sales of a si u gle bank
lor the week aggregated three
and a half millions, mostly for
investment. Fully one-fourth
ot this has been for four per
cent, bonds, of the denomination
of fifty dollars and one hundred
dollars. The daily sales of
bonds by one bank now average
a million. It is stated that two
city capitalists who have been
loaning money on stocks at four
per cent..have withdrawn their
capital., and yesterday invested
five hundred thousand dollars in
governments.
The Log Cases.
New York, March 7.—A spe-
cial from New Orleans says that’
Col. Isidore McCormick, former-
ly Gov. Kellogg’s chief of staff,
ond now the agent of the inte-
rior department in the log cases
for the States of Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, has ar-
rived here from Alabama, where
he received a shot from a rifle,
the ball entering the cheek and
passing out near the ear. An-
other shot lodged in a map of
the country which he was carry-
ing iu an inside pocket. He fled
and reached Br-eville statiou, on
the Mobile and Ohio railroad.
The Failure Record.
Louisville, Ky., March 7.—
The Newcomb & Buchanan Dis-
tillery Company suspended. The
cause was the agitation of the
reduction in the tax, which par-
alyzed trade.
New York, March 7.—War-
ren Greenleaf announces to the
Stock Exchange his inability to
meet his obligations as a mem-
ber of the firm of Greenleaf,

Run Down and Sunk.
New Orleans, March 7.—The
propeller Hope was run down
and sunk by the steamboat
Texas yesterday evening. Paul
St. Pierre, his wife, were drown-
the cabin of the
London, March 7.—The grand
lodge oi masons, Lord Carnavou
presiding, relused tne recogni-
tion of persons initiated iu
lodges where belief iu the Su-
preme Ruler of the Universe is
defied. This refers to the infi-
del action of the Grand Orient
of France.
The Times correspondent at
St. Petetsburg telegraphs that
Gen. Ignatieff will probably em-
bark for Odessa on Friday, ta-
king with him the treaty for rat-
ification. It is suspected in offi-
cial circles here that England
will purchase or seize Mityleua
for a naval station, to counter-
balance the increase of Russian
influence at Constantinople. It
is said that such a step will be
looked upon with comparative
indifference by Russia, as Eng-
land is already able to blockade
the Dardanelles.
The Daily Telegaaph’s special
fiom Pera announces that the
Giaud Duke Nicholas will visit
the Sultan ou Thursday. He
will enter Constantinople at the
head of two thousand officers.
Londen, March 7.—A corres-
pondent at Rome of the Times
telegraphs that the ministers
have failed to come to an agree-
ment with the various discord-
ant parliamentary groups. The
Government is likely to be de-
feated in the election of Presi-
dent for the Chamber of Depu-
ties. The lesult will probably
be a dissolution Of the Chamber
and a new general election.
The Times’ Vienna dispatch
says that at the Russian head-
quarters it is positively stated
that when the British fleet had
passed the Dardanelles, peremp-
tory orders came from St. Pe-
tersburg to march into Constan-
tinople, but the Grand Duke
Nicholas took it upon himself to
disobey the command, and only
moved forward in the direction
of Constantinople, sending at
the same time to St. Petersburg
a statement of his course.
Reuter has the following dis-
path from Constantinople of the
6th : The Sultan has invited the
Grand Duke Nicholas to visit
this city to morrow. The visit
depends upon the Sultan yield-
ing to the Grand Duke’s desire
to be accompanied by eighty
mounted persons.
The Manchester Guardians
correspondent at Rome says the
address from the throne on the
opening of Parliament, on Thurs-
day, after referring to the de-
pression of trade throughout
Europe, will promise electoral
reforms and reduction of taxes
an corn and salt. The address
will also describe the diplomatic
actiou taken by Italy iu order to
insure a durable peace in the
East. In regard to the papacy
the address will be entirely
respectful, but will affirm more
distinctly than ever the unifica-
tion of Italy, with Rome as its
capital. It will also reply to the
circular of the Cardinals of Feb-
ruory 19th, and to the attitude
of the Vatican. The circular of
the Cordinals referred to renew-
ed tne protest against Italian
usurpations.
NIGHT.
London, March 7.—The Con-
stantinople correspondent of the
Manchester Guardiau says the
British fleet is still at Teuzla.

ed Besika bay, and will proba-
bly be ordered to rendezvous at
Touzla.

ruarek is disinclined to attend
the conference. It is stated
that his health is declining, ahd
his physician# recommend an
early return to Vavsin.
It is thought here that Eng-
land will decline to invest her
representative with the powers
implied in the change of the con-
ference to a congress.
The Pall Mall Gazette’s Rome
correspondent says that Sigpor
Crispis’ resignation probably
presages the cabinet’s fall. King
Humbert will probably commis-
sion Siguor Caireli and Zanar-
delli to form a ministry. A co-
alition goveanraent is impossible
as Left refuses to compromise.
Rome, March 7.—At the cab-
inet council yesterday, Signor
gietted
rites of electing
CrlspiS resigned life ininistrp of
the interior. Signor Depretis,
president of the council and
ministei of foreign affairs, will
provisionally administer the de-
partment. Signor Crispis suc-
ceeded Baron Nicoteri-in the in-
terior department, after the last
crisis, iu the hope of reconciling
the liberal party with the
cabinet.
Rome, March 7—In the speech
from the throne, the King refers
to the Holy See as follows:
Pope Pius IX. .after governing
the church foa thirty-two yrars
has descended to the tomb re-
aml veneration. The
his successor
have been performed in perfect
freedom, and without disturbing
the tranquility or state of peace
of consciences, or independence
of the ministers or religion,
maintaining its institutions, and
reconciiiating respect for religion
with a determined defiauce of
state laws and tlie principles of
civilization, we prove how great
are the fruits of liberty. We
are confident that in our hands
Italy wil not-fall from her ex-
alted position,
Maritime.
Hew York, March 7.—The
steamer Bolivia, from Glasgow,
reports that she sighted the

man were injured.
