Isaac Bassett, the venerable Senate doorkeeper, yesterday received a letter from Hon. Peleg Sprague, the only man now living who was a member of the United States Senate when the captain first became an em- ploy of that body. Mr. Sprague writes that he the oldest ex-member of Congress now living. le was elected a member of the House of Rep- resentatives from Maine in 1824. and remained in that body until 1829, when he was chosen United States Senator. He served In the Sen- ate until 1835, and, after retiring, removed from Maine to Boston and engaged in the practice of law. In 1R41 he was anointed to the United States bench in Massachusetts, from which he resigned in 1865. Mr. Sprague is now totally SEcoND LIEUr. WM. F. ZEII.EN, U. S. Marine Corps. has been ordered to proceed to Norfolk, Va., to command the marine guard of the U. S. receiving ship Franklin. UNDER THE CALL OF STATES in the House yes- terday, 130 bills and resolutions were introduced, the majority of them, however, of a private character. Among those of public Interest were Representative Richardson's (S.C.) bill author- izing and directing the Secretary of the Treas- ury to refund to e several states, the amount cf cotton tax paid by them, respectively, during the years 1866, 186T and 1868; said tax having been declared by the Supreme Court to have been illegally assessed and collected. The said states are to give a guarantee that the money shall be refundedto the producers of the cotton, their heirs or legal representatives, or in case they cannot be ascertained, that it shall be de- voted to the education of the most indigent classes of their citizens, irrespective of color. LAND GRANrS To RAILRoADs.-The Attorney General has rendered an opinion upon a ques- tion submitted by the Secretary of the Interior, touching the right of a land gat railroad to deviate in constructing its road from the line of route an definitely a6pe.He holds that in rader to entitle the state to the land granted, it Is necessary that the road should be construct- ed according to the line of definite location. If a different road Is built than that definitely lo- cated, it cannot entitle the state to the benefit of the lands. The question whether the road con- structed Is or is not the road as definitely located Is one for the Interior department to determine, and which must be largely within the discre- tion of the Secretary. INSrUCTIoNs To CENsUs SUPERVISoRS.-Gen. Walker, superintendent of the census, in his Instructions to the supervisors of the census in regard to making the enumeration of 1880 says the enumeration districts should each em'brs a population of from 2,000 to 9,500; the work should be done within two weeks, even if extra enumerators are employed, and all appoint- ments must be non-partisan and must be made solely with a view to fitness. The superintend- ent sees no reason why women should not serve as enumerators, provided they are ca ble, In in opposition to the public sentiment. NOMINATIONs To-DAY.-The President sent the following nominations to the Senate this afternoon: Louis H. Ayme, of the District of Co- lumbia, to be United States consul of Merida; Wm. W. Hicks, of Florida, to be supervisor of census for the district of Florida; Samuel Thompson, of Alabama, to be supervisor of cen- sus for the second district of Alabama; also a number of postmasters. THE SPANISH CLAIMs COMMIssIoN.-The infor- mation called for by the Senate in relation to the Spanish Claims Commission is being pre- pared by the Department of State and will be submitted In a few days. The work of the com- mission was suddenly stopped several months ago on account of the objection of the arbitra- tor on the oart of the Spanish overnment, the Marus oPoteatad- Tagetmnobected to th mieand to the consideration bythe comsin of clims of American naturaie Cubans. Through the efforts Of Mr. Evar, Secretary of State, these objections have been overcome, and the work of the commissinn will be resumed in a short time. A COILORED LEADER ON THE EXODUS.-4. Milton Turner, colored, en-minitre to Liberia, Is In the city. He has been summoned to appear before the exodus committee, and will write out his statement in regard tor the ner exodus and submit it to the committee. Alhuha thor- ough republican, Mr. Turner 1sopoe to the exodus. He holds that the south isthe proper aefor his race and that to emigrate west is Levery sense disadvatgeu.Those who leave not only depart from ternatural homes in this country, but lose all identity to igr. ance poiial.They Decome mere cip ers. He thinks that the exodus was intgtdby politicians and that the negroes are beng im- posed upon. Their condition where thynow are he rgdsas much better than It wilbein the wet Mr. Turner todytook breakfast with Senator Bruce and will thseeigdine with Marshal Douglass.

The National Democratie Conven- tion. SHALL IT BE HELD IN WASHINGTON OR~ CINCIN- NATL The House committee on public buildings and grounds, at to-day's meeting, postponed indefi- nitely the bill Introduced in the House by Mr. Bliss, of New York, tendering the use of the National Museum, on the Smithsonian grounds, to the national democratic executive committee for the purpose of holding the national' demo- cratic convention therein. It appears that yes- terday Prof. Baird, the president of the Smith- sonian Institute, told the House committee on appropriations that if the building was to be granted for the uses of the convention the ap- ppriation of 1881 would have to be anticipated. This adverse action of the committee does not at all deter the Washington committee from still urging the claims of this city. The District will now offer to the convention the K street market, which has ample room for the conven- tion. To-day Col. Len Harris and E. V. Roach, of Cincinnati. arrived here as the avant cour ers of the Cincinnati committee appointed to urge the claims of Cincinnati. Both had an extended conference with Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson.

Pressure for PoUee Appointments THE UsE OF A REJECTED APPLICANT. The recent agitation of the subject of increas- ing the police force for this District has had the effect of bringing before the superintendent of police and the board of poliee surgeons an un- usual number of applicants for on on the force. At the last meeting of .Als board, about a week ago, upwards of one hundred applicants were present for examination, and there ap- peared to be considerable of rivalry to get the approval of the surgeons. Among the num- ber was a young would-be police- man, who seemed quite anxious to win, but whose hopes were dashed when his height was taken. His discharge from the military service showed him then to measure five feet six inches, and the figures of the police surgeons could only record five feet seven and thre- quarter Inches-the mininum standard of the police manual l%urnflve fetegtinches. He went away consi Rab chopfallen, and yesterday his friends, at his solicitation, pro- cured the consent of the authorities for a re- examination as to his heigh he having satis- factorily passed all other tests. This morning he presented himself at the office, and to the astonishment of all present, his height was found to be five feet eight and a quarter inches. This somewhat staggered the major and superintendent, who had, at the previous trial, pretty closely scrutinized the measurement of this candidate, feeling friendly disd towards him. He again made an ex- amination and found on close I on that he had on two pairs of socks, a pairof cotton and another of woolen Thinking that these litdhim up pretty high he' directed him to take.them off, when it was-found that he measured onl five feet seven inches.

MAIcnssvmTr, Feb. 17.-The Manchester Guard- ian, in Its commercial article this morning, says: "The subsidence of the activity in cotton has perceptibly influenced business here.

RoME, Feb. 17.-The Latin text of the papal encyclical letter against divorce fills twelve columns of the Osserratore Romans. It argues In favor of the removal of the rite of marriage from all civil jurisdiction whatsoever. It traces the history of marriage from patriarchal to Catholic times, and declares that Christ elevated it to a sacrament which only his church can administer. The attempt made under various ises, by the modern spirit of irreligion, to rob e 'church of her right, either to bind or loose the marriage tie, must be resisted by the whole Catholic world. His holiness indicates the con- ditions where, under a separation of husband and wife, may be sanctioned by the church; and concludes with an exhortation to the uni- versal Epfecopa to communicate his teachings to the faithfuil for their welfare in both worlds.

LoNxos, Feb. 17.-M. Victorien Sardou's new play, entitled "Daniel Rochat," was produced at the Paris Theater Francals "last night. The Paris cor ndent of the Standard says:- "The new of Victorian Sardou is a satire on the man~for irreligion, paraded just now in certain political circles, and is likely to prove as great ahit as 'Rabagas.'" The Paris correspon- ent of the Daily Telegraph says-"The succes- sive tirades of the clerical and free-thinking characters in 'Daniel Bochat' evoked wild ap- plause from the excited audience." The corre- spondent of the Times at Paris says:-"M. Sar- dou has written not showing more beauties and more blots than his new play. There is a struggle between atheism and faith, and the decisive arguments are on the side of faith. But the author has placed his great talent at the service of the falsest, most irritating and least lfe-like of subjects. Protests h s were mingled when, at the end of thepa, K. Sar- don's name was announced, but the actors were warmly and justly applauded." Bismarck's Preference.

The House committee on public buildings andgrounds, at to-day's meeting, postponed indefi-nitely the bill Introduced in the House by Mr.Bliss, of New York, tendering the use of theNational Museum, on the Smithsonian grounds,to the national democratic executive committeefor the purpose of holding the national' demo-cratic convention therein. It appears that yes-terday Prof. Baird, the president of the Smith-sonian Institute, told the House committee onappropriations that if the building was to begranted for the uses of the convention the ap-ppriation of 1881 would have to be anticipated.This adverse action of the committee does notat all deter the Washington committee fromstill urging the claims of this city.
