Washington, D C, April 24. Whitley and Bell are preparing themselves for a'grand display before the Whiskey Committee. Whitley will produce documents which came into his posses sion as a member of the ring. John Deland, who was Chief Clerk of the Interior Department, is sum moned by the Committee on the Ex penditures of that Department. The sub-Committee of the Navy which went to Philadelphia, will re port to the full committee to-morrow. The Supreme Court affirms th de cision of theCourt of Claims in the Hot Springs cases, that none of the claim ants are entitled to the land as against the government. The Court has no doubt the legislative department will take into consideration the hardships of individuals in its future disposition of the lands. Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana, is here. West had an interview with the President this morning, in relation to the use of government dredge boats in aiding the wash of the jetties, to se cure necessary depth. The gossip here regarding this matter, is : first, that it is a device on the party of the Jetty Company to secure artificially neces sary .depth and to claim first pay ment from the government; second, that the move had its origin with New Orleans merchants and is opposed by seafaring men who did not wish to spare the dredge from the present work. The friends of Eades say it is of little importance to them as the jetties will do their work in due time without stimulation. TI13 matter is still under careful advisement by the War Department. The bsst opinion is for the use of the dredges, because the sea dredges cost the government eight hundred thousand dollars each. There are two of them. Akerman was before the Committee onExpenditures of the Department of Justice to-day. He was granted till yesterday to consider his answer as to whether the President had directly or dered him to pay money to Daven port, and this morning asks the com mittee to withdraw the question. The committee, which was not full, ad journed to a late hour, when they will decide whether to press Akerman to answer. Col Bridgland was before the Committee of investigation. His evi dence was Bimilar to that foreshadow ed in the dispatches. After giving his deposition Bridgland left for New York, and sails to-day for Havre, where he is consul. Moore, the Re publican Texan editor, gives a general denial to Bridgland's testimony, and will do so specifically before the com mittee to morrow. House.

C, April 25. There was a lull Cabinet to-day. Lieut. Johnson, commanding on the Rio Grande, telegraphs to the Navy Department says the reports of forced loans on foreign merchants at New Mardo, Mexico, are untrue.

The Navy Committee made a report of the testimony; ordered printed and re committed. The Legislative Appropriation Bill was resumed; an amendment giving $4,000 to the Mint at Caarlotte, N.

The Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice, insisted on an answer. Akerman, under protest, said that the subject of frauds had fre quently been the subject between him and the President. Senator Conk ling and other gentlemen had demand ed the prosecution of cases of frauds at the elections in New York, of such importance as to suggest the employ ment of special counsel, as the District Attorney and his assistants were very busy. Caleb Cushing was so employ ed, and was paid out of the ordinary Judiciary fund. He had heard it charged that members of Congress were fraudulently elected in New York, but could not name any particu lar district. The Presidsnt advised Akerman to assist Davenport in sup pressing such frauds without making any reference to political parties. Mr Akerman had no fear of implicat ing any one, but deemed it against public policy to give publicity to an swers to the questions the committee proposed. The Navy Committee commenced the investigation of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Monday. John Delano says he did not receive over $300 from surveying contracts, and did not think it dismissable. . NEW YORK.

A good story is told of a little miss of five or six summers, who unconsciously perpetrated one of the best jokes of the season. Wine was passed around, and she was invited to take some but declined, ''Why do you not take wine with dinner, Minnie ? asked a gentle man who sat near. "Tause I doesn't like it." "But take a little then, my child for your stomach's sake," he urged. "I ain't dot no tommick?s ache !" indignantly responded" the little miss in the most, emphatic manner. As both question and answer were distinc tly heard by all those around, every one burst into laughter, which so frightened the little.maid that she cried. Economy in Domestic Affairs. When a Norristown women asked her husband for two dollars to buy a calico dress, he whipped a paper out of his coattail pocket and pointed to an editoria which clearly showedtnat female ex- agance was the ruination of some of our best men, and even the country itself was being demoralized from the same cause.
