Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Herald telegraphs ns follows, under dato of tho 27th inst. : Tho committee of tho House of Repre? sentatives, appointed to inquire into und report tho legislation necessary for taking tho ninth consus, is desirous of receiving suggestions from persons in all part? of tho country touching tho question. Commu? nications addressed to tho Chairman, Mr. Garfield, will receive due attoutiou and con? sideration. The Sonnte Committee on Pensions held a meeting to-day, and after disposing of the usual petitions for soldiers' pensions took up the resolution of Senator Morton in refer? ence to granting a pension to Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. Tho letter from that lady, recent? ly published, was read and variously com mented upon. The committee concluded that they had no power to net upon the suggestion of Senator Sumner of granting Mrs. Lincoln a stipend of ?5,000, and that the limit of their liberality was confined to the sum usual in such cases of thirty dollars a month, and no more. In instances where a higher pension hos been given, the Com? mittee on Military Affairs have had tho dis? position of it. A report will bo made by the committee to the Senate, setting forth their inability to render any greater pecu? niary relief than the law allows to the widow of the martyred President. Some time of the same committeo was devoted to the discussion of Senator Cragin's bill to regulate the social, judicial and political affairs of Utah Territory. The bill provides that only citizens of the United States shall be competent to act as grand and petit jurors;that no man shall take unto himself more than ono wife; that all com? missions and appointments, both civil and military, granted by Brigham Young, shall cease and have no effect after tho first of next year; that it shall bo unlawful for the officers or members of tho Church of Latter Day Saints to grant divorces or solemnize marriages, and that all tho acts and ordi? nances of Brigham's government done in tho namo of tho Church as trustee, grant in ?J; lands and streams of the Territory, and which in any way interfere with tho primary disposal of the soil by tho United States, aro disapproved and annulled, and that no restriction of any kind shall be placed on the free uso of the ballot nor auy arts prac? ticed to mark tho votes of citizens. Thc bill is very long, and is deemed by some members of the committeo rather too de? spotic in some of its provisions. The clause prohibiting the granting of United States lands by Brigham Young, in trust for thc use of the Church to his friends ?ind rela? tives, is considered eminently proper, but it is thought better to treat these matters af? fecting the religion of the Mormons with ns much delicaoy as possible. Several amend? ments on this head will bo made on Satur? day in committee, and in tho meantime Mr. Cragin will preparo nn elaborate speech on tho wholo vexed question of Utah and its peculiar institution, for delivory in tho Se? nate after tho presentation of his bill. A printed document is in circulation herc, which attracts some attention. It is a com? munication from N. Lt. Angior, Treasurer of Georgia, in response to a resolution of tho HOUHO of Representative?, of that State, requesting information as to the amount of State bonds that have been issued since he carno into office, and whether or not the samo have boen sold or hypothecated for money borrowed. He replied that Gov? ernor Bullock and himself delivered to tho agent of the Fourth National Bank, of Nesv York, a contract to place in their possession 8150,000 of the Beven per cent, bonds of tho State. Less than a month afterwards 860,000 in tho Burne bonds were delivered, and six weeks later ?000,000 in new bonds of tho State of Georgia. Tho bank ad? vanced on these bonds, at various times, on draft of Governor Bullock, up to tho 2Gtb of Inst December, an aggrogato of $175, 000. Supposing a considerable amount of tho new sevon per cent, bonds had been sold, tho Treasurer states he wroto to tho bank to learn. Ho received for answer un adv ?sabio to do so, as in consultation be that none had been sold; it being considered tween Governor Bullock and tho president of tho bank it was considered that tho Legislature authorizing thom was an illegal body. Besides crediting themselves in tho account current with the various amounts of bondi enumerated, the bank also took credit for a large amount which had never reached the treasury. Angier immediately started for Now York to get on explanation, and soon discovered that Governor Bullock had drawn drafts to tho amount of $35,000, which amount was never paid in nor re? ported to the Treasury by Governor Bul? lock. Tho drafts are then enumerated-for $8,000, $10,000 aud $17,000. Augior further states that he found the amount of money realized by tho bank on the salo of tho bonds was $210,880, out of which the bank paid coupons to tho amount of only $130, 000. The letter nceompauyiug the account current furnished to the Treasurer by thc bank reports two notes, in addition to tho contracts mentioned, given by Governor Bullock, botli amounting to $570,000, sup? posed to bc givou as security for money ad? vanced and to ho advanced to meet thu interest on the public debt. Tho President sont to Congress: to-day a correspondence between Secretary Soward and George Peabody, relativo to a gold modal presented to him by order of Con? gress, in consideration of his munificent donatioti for tho promotion of education in the Southern States. Mr. Peabody says: Cherishing, ns I do, thc sincerest affectior for my country, it ls not possible for mc ti feel moro grateful thau 1 do for this pre oious memorial of its regard, coming, as i does, from 30,000.000 of American citi zeus, through their representatives in Con gre.ss, with the full accord and co-operatioi of the President. This medal, togothc with the rich, illuminative transcript of tin congressional resolutions, 1 .shall short)' deposit in the Peabody Institute, ut tb pluce of my hirth, in apartments speciall; constructed for their safe keeping, alonj with public testimonials with which I l?av< been honored there. I trust it will remaii for generations to attest thc generous mimi ficencc of tho Amel ie...i people in recogniz ing the offorts, however inadequate, of ou of the humblest of their fcllow-countryme to promote the enlightenment and prw perity of bis native land. Judging from tho present indications, th statement of tho public debt for this mont will disclose a considerable increase of tb debt. Tho receipts from customs and ii ternal revenue thus far amount to ubot $17,000,000; tho receipts expected froi tho same and from miscellaneous sourct for the remaiuder of the month aro estima od at nearly $12,000,000, making tho tot roceipts amount to about $29,000,000. 1 tho beginning of tho month, very near $29,000,000 in coin \.as expended in pa; ing the interest on the five-twenty hon? and bonds of 1881, and nearly $1.500,01 has been paid out since in interest on tl Pacific liailroad bonds. The expenses the Government, it is thought, will foot t to about $13,000,000, making a total about $13,500,000. Tho increase of tl national debt, therefore, will he in tl neighborhood of $11,500.000. It is beliov that the statement for the month of Foin ary will show a material reduction, as it estimated that tho expenditures will much smaller than they have been tl month, and the interest to be paid will only about $-1,000,000, while increased i ceipts arc expected from the iuternul re^ nun. Tho Senate Committee on Finance heh meeting this morning and discussed tho I to prohibit secret sales or purchases of gc or bonds on account of tho United Stat This bill has the almost unanimous nppro of the committee, hut in tho discussion o' it to-day it was thought its provisions wi hardly ample enough to cover the pernicic practices that have grown up and ramifi the ontiro monetary market sinco gold a government bonds became gambling st?, at tho money centres of tho country, was fully agreed, though no action was i mediately taken on the subject, that a strc necessity bas existed and ?loes still exist thc passage of un Act declaring that all chango, purchases or sales of the bonds tho United States shall bo mado by invit tho competition of tho public hy advert?s for proposals for any such exchange, p chases or sales, which shall be awarded p Hely to the best bidder, the Secretary of Trcasurj' reserviug tho right to reject t such bids, and that all sales of gold on count of the Unite?! States shall be math public unction. Senator Sherman, it is derstoood, will report a bill fully adeqr to the necessities of the case. Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, ma? grand, old time ?peecb to-dny, in the nate, on the finances and national mat generally. He had Harry Clay in his m when bo struck bis eloquent harp on glorious post of old Virginia, and tl contrasting ber present downcast condit lier awful travail and penitential sufferi bo rose to tho highest level of oratory eommamletl the closest nttoulion of tho nato and galleries. On finance, ho was | tesqne enough to be decidedly entertain and when bo finished, almost every m ber, radical ns well as Democrat, flot over to tho brave old Kentucky farmer shook his band. The inauguration ball is still talked c an event that must certainly como off, < though the rotunda of tho Capitol has t roi i mi ii isl i cd for tho narrow, elongated s of tho Smithsonian Institute. Had management of tho affair fallen into o hands, moro general interest would I been tahtfti in rendering it a success, some inveterate advocates of negro equality, social, &o., wanted to have a Huger iu the pie and shove Sambo and Dinah in among those who didn't want their company, so that Senators like Simou Cameron and others, disgusted with this project of merry miscegnntion nuder the dome of the Capitol, voted against the resolution tho niomeut they learned what was contemplated. At the regulnr quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of tho South Carolina Railroad Company, held in thc city of Charleston, on the evening of thc 20th in? st, ut, L. D. DeSaussure, Esq., presiding, as Chairman, pro tem., the following pream? ble and resolutions wero unanimously adopt? ed, and onlered to be engrossed as a part of the minutes of the meeting: Whereas, nt the termination of tho late , war, thc property <?f this company was in a I ruinous condition; its treasury AVIIS empty and its finances disordered; an J, wherea1', tho Board of Directors will now have thc satisfaction ot submitting to the stockhold? ers, at tlic approaching annual Convention, an account of their property, highly satis? factory as to its present condition, and equally promising in respect o? its future prospects. Resolved, unanimously, That the Board regard this improvement as due chiefly to the able administration of the President, Mr. William J. Magrath. Jlesoln'd, unanimously, That they take pleasure in expressing their sense of his zealous devotion to thc interests of this company during thc long period of twenty three years in which ho has been in its service;, and of the eminent ability and success with which he has administered its affairs since ho was elevated to the honora? ble position of President. Special INT o ti co s?. PltBSCIUBlNO KOR THE PEOPLE.-Wo have dispensaries, hospitals, noble institutions oi all kinds, for the relief of human ills. Every thoughtful citizen Appr?ci?tes tho value of those establishments for the amelioration of suffering. But they ilo not cove r the whole ground; indeed, it is impossible, in tho nature of things, that the amount of good they do should he at all in pro? portion to the popular need. They aro confined, principally, to large cities.
