Several Senators expressed the opinion this morning that the ¢ase will not be closed before Wednesday next; Wut there ix no certainty that even that day will see the end of it. An attempt was made to-day to come to a vote, but it was unsuccessful. LaTEst From Trt Lava Beps.—Gen. Sher- aan has received a dispatch from Gen.

Miss AGxes Erne will appear before a Washington audience for the last time this sea- son at Waill’s Opera House to-mght,on which occasion “Frou-Frou” will be repeated. This talented young aetress has wade a decidedly favorable impression on intelligent patrons of the drama here, who recognize in her quiet, womanly acting something much nearer na- ture, and therefore more pleasing than the striding and shouting of some of the “emotional” school, who if they raved in any private. parior as they do on the stage would be set down as $1, Milit lunatics.

Secretary Richardson says that the tact that the legal-terider reserve fs occasionally drawn upon to the extent of a million or two, i noth- ing except an entirely unimportant variationof the daily business of the Treasury. He says it is as absurd to speculate on the staius of the Treasury, because some Gays its payments are heavier than others,as it would be to predict the success or failure of @ business man because his disbursements vary a few hundred dollars daily.

Groom, president of the New York Mercentile Journal company, yesterday presented to General F. E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, legal-tender note for $100, (No, 58044, dated March 10, 1362,) which he had previously presented to the Assistant ‘Treasurer at New York, and demanded Its pay- ment in specie. General Spinner replied that had no autherity to comply with this demand. Mr. Groom presented the note te the Seeretary of the Treasury and repeated bis demand. Judge Richardson replied that he would be huppy to pay specie for it if he hadon hand enough to liquidate every like claim that might be presented. Mr. Groom said he dit not claim any better treatment than other holders of the vernment’s notes received. He would pt n place of specie anything that the collector of customs at New York would receive in pay: ment of duties, or an interest-bearing bond, as specified on the back of the note; and he would not insist on receiving one bearing six per cent. interest, but would be satisfied with 45 low a rate as 3-65. Secretary Richardson stated that he was not prepared to accept the proposition. This morning Mr. Groom instructed Mr. Nicholas Callan, notary, to present the no again to Treasurer Spinner and Secretary Rich- ardson. Mr. Callan did so, and, specie pay- ment be ing again refused, be (oy Bir. Groom's direction,) protested the néte in due form. The note presented is one of the first iegal ten- ders issued by the government, and bears the legend on the buck, “Receivable for all dues of the United States, and are convertible into the Sper. cont, stock of the United Staten.” Some eight or nine years ago Congress re, the law on which this legend was based, aud it has recently been the aesire of the government to recall them. On Ist July last there were $123,- 000,000 of these notes in circulation, and but few have been received since. Gen, Spinner says that had it been a legal demand note of 1362, of which there were in July iast only $33,000 in circulation, he would Layc redeemed it in gold, since these notes are receivable the same as gold in payment of customs.

FNGLAND STILL SMARTING UNDER THE Ge- SEVA AWARi long and quite a spirited de- bate took place in the British Howsesof Com- mons last night, upon a motion by Gathorue Hardy tor an address to the Crown, asking that the government be instructed to dissent from the several international rules laid down by thé Geneva arbitration. It was opposed on the grounds that it really would be a vote of cen- sure on the arbitrators, who the country, through Parliament, have formally thanked for their services, and it would look as if Bug- jand was smarting under having to pay the d. Its supporters declared that “the rules ver had held water,” and the best thing that could be done was to ask the United States to withdraw them, and substitute others, which, in the event of war, would make the new treaty intolerable. In conclusion Mr. Gladstone con- curred with Disraeli that the United States and Great Britain should have an early under- standing as to the rules, and jointiy submit them to other powers. fhe motion was then withdraw: A Straxce Woway calthy Female De- nounces Ail Her Relatives and Bequeaths #100,000 to Acquaintances.—Mrs. Jane Ann , the wife of a clergyman, who lived on Lexington avenue, died, leaving an estate valued at about $100,000, which she bequeathed to her acquaint- ances, cutt Some time ting off ali her relations, before her death she left her husband,and would not live with him any more.

Mr. Ferry (Mich.) regretted that the Senator from Connecticut (Ferry) had submitted a res- olution of expulsion at this time. He had given close attention to the ten days’ debate which had shed so much light for the first time on the question whether bribery vitiates the election of a member of this body. The debate wascon- fined to the legality of the act by which Mr. Caldwell held his seat. It appeared the seajor- ity of the committee on privileges and elections were in doubt as tothe proper method to be pursued, and therefore they chose to present ‘he question involving the validity of the elec- tion. The Senator from Mississippt, (Alco one of the members of the committee, tad ed a resolution for expulsion, thus serving that he would press his resolution shon!d that ot the committee fail. The Senator from Connecticut (Ferry) had offered an amendment also proposing expulsion, thus requiring the Senate tirst to vote on his proposition before the Senate shall adjudge in voting on the reso! tion of the committee whether Caldwell was titled to the seat he held. He desired to have action on both in the erder in which they were presented. Mr. Morton interrupted to say, that as chai man of the committee, he in his first speech attempted to diseuss the question of expulsion He held the Senate had the choice of remedies, and had favored a resolution of gxpulsion, but 33. majority of the committee thought it best it aresoiution shouki be reported vacating the election. Mr. Ferry would not commit himself in ad- vance as to the merits of the question involved, but would approach each of them with the respect due to the action of the state, and his constitutional duty, to deal rigidly with official wrong, his intercourse with Cakiwell showing that in his conduct here he had been guilty of no act affecting his charaeter asa gentleman. He then offered an amendment, to place back the first question substantially where it fiest Appeared from the committee, as follows Resolved, That Alexander Caldwell be. is hereby declared to have been elected tor of the United States by the legisla Kansas. Mr. Allison disenssed bricfly the question of Jurisdiction, maintaining the constitutt makes the act of the legislature in the election of a Senator subject to review by th Mr. Ferry, (Conn.,) in explain tor offering his amendment to the resolution ot the committee proposing the expulsion of Cali- weil, said in examining ail the evidence hy unable to avoid the conclusion that the election of Caldwell was effected by u y having been paid by Cal Having reached the concinsion of fact, it es not only to the dignity and honor the te, to the state of public feeling ation of ountry, but for the pres e, that institutions under which w Senate shonid in ae press condemnation # th cordin to common through all the English de bribed vote is no vote; bribed votes effectea the cast vut and the election v ed.
