At present.-TsofvTithstand- iflffthereisa separate" committee on Mississippi levee's, it is solely within the powers of the Com merce Committee to report appro priations for river a,nd harbor pur poses. The plan 'is to obtain an amendment to the rules, which will empower the Committee on Levees to originate appropriations for that object. The Chairman of the Commerce Committee of course opposes the proposed new rule, as it would deprive the Com merce Committee of important power, and might embarrass the various schemes for general river and harbpr improvement. The in dications now arts that the Missis sippi River Committee will be in this Congress, as it was in the last, a committee with a great name, but without power except to sug gest. One reason for this attempt to secure a new rule is the sup posed unfriendlint-ss of the major ity of the Commerce Committee to as large appropriations for Missis sippi levee purposes as the Repre sentatives from Mississippi desire. It would seem as though the men in charge of the river impro ement scheme would see that they would defeat their own elTorts by being tooexorbitant in their demands. This is the way the London Truth puts it: "America is send ing us prime beef and mutton. American wool is ousting English from the market. American ap pies are 'more "numerous in the English market thau home-grown. America is now sending us 'Eng lish', plurorpuddings read v forboi ing. American horses have rthis year won the principal races in England and France. And now that America" is bestirring herself jibouther nsiv, what will be left for poor old England, to plume herself upon?" The falsehood-scorning Hin doos, on the recent occasion of taking the census, filled up the census blanks handed to them with an accurate alacrity unknown in other'lands. Tn Bombay, accord ing to their own returns, there are twenty-six swindlers, sixteen wiz ards, and t,ix hundred and ninety eight tattooers. '" The fact that the people of Pe orta Illinois, prater to keep their children home fiom school rather than have them vaccinated, is used as an argument showing that Bob Ingersoll, who is a native of that place, has educated his towns men too strongly in the doctrine of disbelief. An ethnological anomaly in the shape of a Chinese negro has been discovered in Denver; he is a gen uine African, who from twenty seven years residence as a captive in China, hamuli the customs and attributes of the Mongolians. - The congressmen from' Florida are now engaged in the pleasant task of explaining to the commit tee of commerce the benofit that will result from draining Cala . . hooseehatchie and the Okeecho . beo into the Kickpoch'cc. r It is thought tnat if the Rus- .sian government puts into elFect .its project ol imposing an export Sryauty on grain thqt the whole world will look to the. United States for its breadstuff. r,rTuir English admirers of thi navigator Sir Francis Drake, are B'.ng t erect a monument to his nfemory, and would like to have Americans :ii 1 ihe enterprise. cL ' ' InEitE are oO.OOO girls and wo men working in Chicago, whose wageswiir not average' more than two dollars a week. Washington ITotes. (From our Be enter Correspondent.) Washington, D. C. Jan. 10 1682 Congress has assembled again but nothing of conseqnencc will be done for some days. The holi day, recess has been an exception ally dull one in this locality. New Year's day however was a stirring time, and the "reception at the White House was very largely at tended. The impression had gone out that the usual receptions every two week's during the winter were not to be given thi3 season, gnd so everybody in town endeavored to avail themselves of this opportu nity to see President Arthur in tho "White House as well as to take a look at its improved condi tion. There was in consequence a great jam. The reception for the general public was preceded as usual by tho official reception of army and civil officers, and for eign ministers. It was for many reasons a notable reception, m-irked by new faces and new n-imes, with a new chief magis trate, and tho almost total ignor ing of old customs. The Presi dent enjo3'ed.the day, and when informed that his reception was larger than any of Mr. Hayes' and exceeded in numbers all of Grant's but one, lie expressed sat isfaction for the compliment. Yet it was not" altogether to be interpreted that way. The long drawn out trial is now coining close upon its end, and it becomes more and more fixed in the minds of observers that the wretch Guiteau has been, weaving his own rope. The people of Washington and of the whole country have been justly incensed at the disgraceful scenes and out rageous conduct of the prisoner in court during the progress of the trial, but the one mitigating fact in connection with it is that all this has simply had the 'effect to make justice surer It has ob literated every vestige of sympa thy which at the beginning some felt rforjLj;rie mlserablecreature; has given the experts and oonit'ari opportunity to study 'his mind and character, and gone far to enforce conviction upon the minds of the jury. No one who has observed tho jury during the past two weeks expresses the least doubt that their minds are made up be yond the. slightest probability of change. It is likely that in a very short time the verdict of guilty will have been returned, sentence of death pronounced, and Guiteau will be lying in a cell, his bravado all gone, in a condition of utter, cowardly, unpitied prostration. After he has given up hopo there will be no more doubt outside the court-room of his absolute account ability than there is with those, whe have witnessed his daily manifestations of ungovernable malice, brutal egotism, depravity, and blackguardism. He is shrewd and cunning when confronted with the possible consequences of his act, and has expected by his conduct to save himself from all punishment, beyond a few years in an asylum, meanwhile having seenred the notoriety he so much covets. Anna Dickinson, whose magnet ic platform eloquence, earnest face and firm "jaw" is known all over .the country, and who has de termined to play men's characters on the stage, "will shortly appear here. Since it became known that Gen. Grant had changed his mind concerning the Fitz John Porter case there has been considerable curiosity touching the effect this would have upon friends of the ex president in the senate and else where. People were especially solicitous abo'ut Senator Logan, who made such an exhaustive speech last" winter in opposition to Porter. In response to an inquiry on the subject, however, the sena tor said a day or two ago, that ho was very much surprised at the change in Geu. Grant's opinion as as the latter had frequently in his presence expressed himself so strongly against Porter's conduct. Gen. Logan says there is nothing new in tho case to cause him to chajigc his vievs; that ho has noth ing to take back, and will continuo fo oppose Porter's restoration to the army no matter who may cotno to the rescue. So in this, as in all other things, Logan has strong convictions of his own. Spot. NEW TO-DAY. MAKTIXTOAItD. J. J.
