Iu the Senate Edmunds, of Vermont, from the Judiciary committee, reported adversely on the House bill in relation to certain legal disabilities of women, and moved that it be lndehnitely post poned. It provides than any woman who shall have been a member of the bar 'of the higher court of any State or Territory, or the District of Columbia, for a period of three years, may be ad mitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. Edmunds said the ground of the adverse report of the committee was that by the law of the land, as it has existed since the organization of the government, the Supreme Court, as well as all other of the United States courts, was authorize ed to make their own rules touching the admission of attorneys, so that there was l.o obstacle in the law pro hibiting the admission of women to fractice in the United States courts, t depended entirely upon the discre tion of the courts. The Judiciary com mittee thought this act would make discrimination in favor of the women, as it compelled the court to admit wo men to practice when it was not bound to admit men. On motion of Sargent the bill was placed on the calendar with the ad verse report. House Among the bills introduced was one for the payment of Southern ante-bellum mail contractors, who had not been compensated by the Confede rate government ; also, another by Mo ney, granting alternate sections of land to aid the Ship Island, Ripley and Kentucky Railroad. The committees did nothing this morning. NIGHT DISPATCHER. Schliecher, of Texas, introduced the San Antonio Railroad bill, known as the Barnes bill, similar to the one in troduced in the Senate by Senator Coke. 1 he balance of the day was de voted to the District of Columbia affairs. Vance, of North Carolina, introduced in the House to-day the following res olution : "Whereas, By the act of Congress approved March 3rd, 1877, the sum of $375,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, was appropriated to pay the amount due mail contractors for mail service performed in certain States of the.South, therein mentioned, in the years 1859, '60 and - '61, or before said States respectively engaged in war against the United States ; and, "Whereas, Owing to the action of the Secretary of the Treasury in refus ihsr to Dav said claims until all the con- Tr'Y "NTTYr1 T5T T V fl I I l-C " templated claims should be presented, LJ J ;:J V-AUT X-jLJ X , .J-JSf ' said act has become ineffectual : and, "Whereas, It was the true meaning of the act approved the 3rd of March, 1877, that all claims due parties there in mentioned should be paid up to. the 31st of May, 1861, being the time at which the Confederate government took complete charge of the mails within the States mentioned ; and, j "Whereas, By said act it is provided 'that any such claims which have been paid by the Confederate States govern ment shall not be paid again' ; there fore, . ' "Beit Resolved, (The Senate concur ring), That the Secretary of the Treas ury be, and is hereby, required, out of the said sum of $375,000 appropriated by the act of March 3rd, 1877, " to pay the amount due to mail contractors for mail service performed in the States mentioned in said act up to May 31, 1861, and up to the ' time when, the Confederate States government took charge of the mails within said States." The second . section prescribes the mode of payment, and contains a pro vision to the effect that any claims paid by the Confederate government shall not again be paid. v. . r It Nominations : Ada C Sweet, pension agent at Chicago; Geo E Bullock, ,' of Indiana, consul to Cologne. , ; - The Ways and Means cemmittee, in revising its tariff bill, made the follow- ing alteration on bagging, for cotton, composed in part or whole of hemp, jute, flax, gunny bags, gunny cloth or other material : 20 per cent ad valorem.

Two weeks spent in this way would certain ly have a beneficent effect throughout the State. You are authorized to incur the expense. Green B. Raum, Collector. THE ECII0ES OF TOE WAR. Another Statement Vas to What the Treaty Contains Another Report that lord Derby has Resigned. . London, March 18. The Times has the following from St Petersburg : "The treaty leaves a good many points open. It reserves the question of the straits for the congress, and leaves the south ern frontier of Bulgaria to be de term in edby an international commission ac cording to the nationality of the inhabi tants. The question of the annexation of the port of Kavala is left to the same commission, and thus serious difficul ties on that point are avoided. Lord Derby will probably receive the treaty next Saturday, as the courier for Lon don' wilHeave on Tuesday. " London, March 18. A special dis patch to the Times from Vienna says : "A minority of the budget committee of ,tbe , Austrian delegatioBt though voting against the credit, aaoTSflfa- resolution declaring their readiness in oase of necessity to make an even great er sacrifice for the protection of na tional intereste. The minority also ex pressed confidence in the policy of the ministry." , - Consols declined tc-day on the rumor that Lord Derby had resigned the for eign secretaryship. The rumor was probably of stock -jobbing-origin. , The Morning Post congratulated the country on the unanimity of the minis try in the present critical position.

The Club House, the resi dence and store of T McK Cooke,, insur ed for $45,000. The insurance on the burned district is $280,000 -all in Eu ropean companies.

Many poor lamilies suf fered. A subscription has been raised to assist them. Returning Board Anderson Released by the Supreme Court. New Orleans, March 18 -In the case of the State vs. Thomas C Anderson, an appeal for a new trial, the Supreme Court has reversed the verdict of the jury and ordered the prisoner to be re leased. Washington, March 18. Private ad vices state that the court decided that the forged paper uttered was not a pub lic document and that the indictment was defective. Senator Matthews received the fol lowing from New Orleans : "The Supreme Court decides that the Vernon parish returns were not susceptible of forgery, and Gen Ander son is discharged. This ends the whole case as to the other members of the returning board." Weavers' Strike at Oldham. - London, March 18.
