Anthony, Morton and easterly were a ppointed a committee to notify the President <t that fact. The Senate then went in execn 11 ve session to act upon the nominations pcud ing. Senator Patterson's Statement.?The K? nate, this afternoon, agreed to allow Mr. Patterson to submit his statement in reference to the credit mobilier charges, to be priuted with the report ot the special committee on that subject, but not in the Congressional X'iord. Naval Ori>err?Medical Inspector Edward Shippen is ordered to the Philadelphia navy jard, and Surgeon J. II. Clark to the naval icndervous, New York. I.ieut.-Commander 'I lirodore F.

A fewSenators will remain here sev eral days, but most of them will have left h?sn tor their homes by to-morrow night. The ? kneral fauesoir and ticket aoeits' convention resumed its session at V o'clock this morning, and again proceeded to consider the subject rates and commissions. At abont 1 o'clock p. iu. a set of rates and coin missions were adopted and the invention then alter adopting a resolution of tlisnks to Mr. J F. Cake, proprietor of Willard's Hotel, tor courtesies extended, adjourned tine die. Gen. Lkoortt, Commissioner of Patents, has no present intention of resigning to prac tice law. The rumor telegraphed from this city that he intended to resign probably origin ated in the fact that he was recently <viiuiUe-i to practice before the Vnlted States Siiprem Court. This circumstance, Gen. L. says, was partially accidental, and had no special re.er ence to liis present position. Having some imjluts on the subject, the commissioner of internal revenue has requested the Secretary of the Treasury to refer to the Attorney General for an opinion, the question whether, under the revenue laws, which pro vide that the numl>er of collection districts shall not exceed the number of Congressional dis triets, he would have any right to creat" an additional collection district in Virginia by dividing the fifth district of that state.

Ekolish OrERA?A large audience, on>:d ering the raiu storm, assembled at Wall's Opera House last night to hear Wallace's pleading opera, "Marltaua," sung by the company now Informing there. President Grant and daugh ter occupied a private box. The pefformauce was, as a whole, satisfactory, Miss Emma How sen making quite a favorable impression as "Marltana," singing and acting her role w?tU ease and spirit. Mrs. Sepiiin was charm ug. as usual, In "Lazarillo." Mr. Eugene Clarke's "Don Csi'sar" was a pleasing surprise to miiiv. a- they did not expect he would either s ng <?r act the role in so acceptable a manner. Tue part requires a good tenor, and he filled th * bill. Mr. John Clarke's "Don .lose" was also good. The chorusscs were weak. "M artha" to-nig!it. Brisbane's Pneumatic Tcbr In the S n ate, this morning, Mr. Anthony offered a rosj In'ion directing the Secretary of the Interior to inquire, and report at the next session, why the pneumatic tube to connect the capitol and gov ei nment priming office has not been completed, how much money has been extended on it, and all tue facts connected therewith. A full de scription of the pneumatic tube, and how it is constructed, has been published in The Stab. It will be remembered that it is composed of strips of ltoard. which it ap|>ears are not of suf ficient strength to bear the pressure of the earth above when the tube is buried deep, as it is near C street north. At this point it is some twelve feet under ground, and the great weight of the earth on it has caused it to flatten so that the sphere to contain the packages cannot pass beyond that point. Mr. Brisbane went to New York some time ago, to devise means to remedy the defects, and announces that he will be able to make the tube perfect. Nothing has been done for some time toward* curing the evil, and many are of the opinion that it can never be made successful. Senator Clayton Exonbratid?In the Senate yesterday after ear report closed the case of Senator Clayton was discussed by Messrs. Wright and others. The question being then on the resolution of the committee exonerating Mr. Clayton from the charges against him, Mr. Morrill (Vt.) said he had not sufficiently exam ined the testimony to justify him in giving an expression of opinion. Messrs. Saulsburv, Ces ser It, Stevenson, Tliurman, Ransom, Kelly and Stockton all said they should refrain from voting in this matter because of want of oppor tunity to give the examination aeeessary for a correct judgment. Mr. Carpenter said for onoe be was with the democratic partv [laughter], snd must abstain from voting for the sam-> rea son as given by the Senators who had just voted.

Bonds?Treasurer Spinner has not yet received any reply from Oakes Ames, to whom he forwarded the 91,000 in bonds of the credit mobilier, which were turned over to him by Representative Kelly. The bonds were sent to Ann-soil the 15th Inst., with a request that he would so endorse them as to make them convertible, in order that they might be covered into the treasury. The ques tion which naturally arises is does Mr. Ames intend to coin pi v with Gen. Spinner's request or hold on to the bonds, which he repeatedly said belonged to Mr. Kelly. Editor Stat.: Permit me to mention a dis tinction that is also a difference. While some of the committee clerks, who are correspon dents, have preserved independence enough to denounce the "salary steal, and refuse to take the fifteen per cent, Increase provided in the law, (see this morning's Kr/iublican,) the mana ging editor of that paper see'ms to have been in fluenced by his clerkship to the extent of de fending the whole swindle from beginning to end, ami consistently takes jthe share of the 'swag" falling to himself. One of the Independents. The FARRAfilT Claims.?It will be recol lected that some months since the claim of Ad miral Farragut and lii9 officers and men for prize money for the destruction of the rebe* vessels at the capture of New OMoans during the rebellion, was referred to arbitrators Messrs. 11. W. Paine, of Boslon, G. V. Fox, for merly Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and Titos. J. |)ui ant, of this city. To-day the arbi trators tiled their report, awarding the sum of #268,000. They found that on the rebel vessels there were 1,:143 men, and they allow to the claimants f'JW for each man engaged on the enemy's boats. Secretary Roukson to re Secretary of Wai: pro tem.?The question as to whether, under existing laws, General Sherman couid l?e acting Secretary of War, or secretary pro tem., during the absence of Secretary Itetknap, who leaves to-morrow on an in: nection tour, in com pany with General Sheridan, of the military posts of the department of Missouri, having arisen, the matter was submitted to the Attor ney General for a decision, and ho has decided that under an act of Congress approved in 1<T0, no officer of the aruiy can hold any civil posi tion. and that in ease he does so, he forthwith ceases to be an officer of the ariny. Under the circumstances, therefore, General Sherman <loes not quit#* see the advisability of serving as Secretary of War for a few weeks at the cost of forfeiting his present high rank as General ot' the Army, ami the President has design:it>il Secretary Robeson to act as Secretary of War during the absence of General Belknap.

H*. D. Whipple, Adjutant General, llend ijumrUrt of the Army, Washington, I). C.: Accompanied by Col. Gillem. 1 had an un-it istactorv interview with Captain Jack yesterday afternoon in the neighborhood of his camp. Tue result confirmed the impression previously re ported, that the war faction is still predominant. Captain Jack's demeanor was that of a mm under duress and afraid to exlijbit his real feel ings. Important questions were evaded or not answered at all. The substance of all that could be eliciteel from him was that he did not want to tight: that the lav* bed was a bad place; and that be wanted to go to his home on Lost river. He wanted all of the sol diers moved out of the country; if anybody wanted to talk to him they must come to his camp, and it anything was to be done for him, it must be done there. The meeting of yester day was in part accidental, as I had not intend ed to communicate with Capt. Jack until the troops were in their new positions; but the con ference was invited by the Indiaus, and was accepted as first arranged. Capt. Jack and Sconchin John, the second chief, were to have met Col. Gillem and myself, but when we reached the place we found that the war fac tion had substituted their leader for Sconchin, no doubt for the pur|>ose of watching Capt Jack, and seeing that he did not commit him self. to their prejudice. The troops are no* moving into their positions, and when thethare reached them, communication may again ba opened with the Modocs, with the hope of bet ter results. Ed. R. Canbt, Brig.

Reading of the PrrolJrnO Warrant. How the PrlHouer Reeelved the Sew*. To-day the commutation papers in tbe case of Charles H. O'Brien, (convicted somttini'' since ol' the murder of Samuel H. Cunningham at Green Spring* pavilion, near Georgetown, on the 1Mb of July last, and sentenced to be executed on the liMhot" February, the execution of which sentence wa? by respite of the Presi dent post {toned until Friday next, March 28th,? was received at the jail. It hoe now been over a week since the prisoner was first apprized 01 the favorable action of the President, but st> 1 ng have the papers been hanging fire that the prisoner at times became quite anxious, and yesterday his relatives, too. were desponding Rev. Father Wigett called yesterday afternoon, and assured him that tbe pa|<ern would be fortlicoirng at the proper time, and this assurance entered him and his frienils up for a time. This morning, finding that tlie paper* had not yet come O'Brien lost some of his tisua cheerfulness, but Gen. Crocker having learned that during tiie course of the day they would surely be on hand informed him, and his spirit* at once revived again. At 1% o'clock Mr. E. B. French, pardon clerk, and Mr. Williamson,of the Department of .Justice, appeared at the jail with the papers and they were shown into the warden's office. In a few minutes they, with General Crocker and Deputy Kuss. went to O'Brien's cell aim found him sitting down, quietly awaiting the arrival of the paper. General Crocker intro duced them.and Mr. Frenehsa'U: "Mr. O'Brien 1 have brought the President's warrant coin muting yeur sentence," w hich he proceeded to read, as follows : THE PRESIDENT S WARRANT. I'lytte* S. Grant, PTtiity nt of the Cmit'd Sttf'l? Tr. all tc'iom thete presents ikal\ come greeting Whereas on the jyth day of November, 1872, in the Supreme Court of tne District of Colum bia, one Charles M. O'Brien was convicted of murder and was sentenced to suffer death bv hanging; and whereas a very large number ot citizens of the District of Columbia petition for the commutation of his sentence to imprison ment for life; and whereas it Is alleged that the a?'t of killing wits committed ill asudicn passion, and not with premeditation; and wherea* doubts seem to exist upon that subject; Now, therefore, be it known that I.UIvsses S. Grant, President of the United States ol America, in consideration of the premises, and divers other good and sufficient reasons nv thereunto moving, do commute the sentence of said Charles H. O'Brien to imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary at Albany, New York, for ibeterm of his natural life; ana direct the execution thereof accordingly. In testimony whereof 1 have hereunto signed my name, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

O'Brien sto<*l quietly holding tlx* gate while the paier was being read, a:id at the close Mr. French asked, "Do you accept the commuta tion?" O'Brien replied. "Yes, sir, I do," but in rather a low voice. The party then cougrat ulatcd him and withdrew. It is probable that the prisoner will not be sent to the Albany penitentiary until a batch of prisoners is made up for that destination. The Dlatrlet Indebtedness. lXTLREST-EEARIJfO CERTIFICATES TO BE I? SUED. To-dav. Gov. Cooke visited the Columbia buildings on 4^ street, and was in conference with Col. Magruder and W.A.Cook. On leaving the building he held a brief conversation with a group of contractors, during which ho statetl that the District authorities had been disap pointed in their efforts to obtain the full amount of appropriations from Congress necessary to meet tbv wants fff the creditor?, and under the pressure it had bein deemed advisable to issue certificates of indebtedness in denominations to suit contractors for the unpaid balances due tlicm, which would be receivable for s]?ceial taxes, and will be negotiable, so that the money can be obtained on them. Property on the line of improved streets is held for the payment ol these certificate!,, and in case of failure to paj in a given time, interest-bearing certificates will be given to the holders. This seemed to be satisfactory to the contractors addressed, ard in reply to the question as to when they would be issued, the Governor baid they were now pre paring them. The Brooklyn Murder Mystery. HO LIGHT ON THE TBAOIDV VET. The murder of Goodrich, in Brooklyn, Is yet a mystery. It Is stated that the building of the row of brownstone fronts on l>eGraw street, Brooklyn, Involved the supposed murdered in an heavily in debt, and that ne was not wealthv *?? was at first sup|>osed. It appears the so-called bloody shirt found in the house where the mur der was committed had nc bloodstains whatever on it, and no buttons torn off, but was sim;>!y soiled. The chief of (tolice of Brooklyn s'ifl holds to the theory that Goodrich commit -d suicide. and that the cause was financial euib ?r rassment. A LOUD CALL POR THE MTSSINO WO MA!*. On the other hand, the newspapers una li mously scout the suicide theory, and think t!ie itolice will prove about as efficient in unravel ing the mysterv as they were in the Rogers an 1 Nathans inurdtrs. The Herald sajs: "It hi* been sufficiently developed that the decea- -I could not have inflicted the wounds, and, iu d - fault of proof that they were the work of r n? hers who did not hesitate to murder, strong ?"!?*? picion has fixed upon a woman who has disap peared and is alleged to have been the mistr. ss of the deceased. Four da3's have now claps-l and the detectives have so tar failed to lay tln ir hands upon this woman. She must have been known to many others beside the dead man. Her relations with him have doubtless been a matter of knowledge to at least a tew. Some time before the murder she wrote a letter to one of his friends in which not onlv the criu n il rela'ion, but the result?a child?is alluded to The woman found that HE WAS ABOt T TO DISCARD HER, and was growing desperate. It is highly prol? able, then, that she made other confidence and verbal ones^on the matter. It is believed that hers was the woman's voice heard calling for assistance on a night in February l ^t. These shadowy ?hinps are not l?y anvm- tiis conclusive p-tof that >h killed him, but they are enough to make her production a necessity. Circumstances point to her as being the o ily person who can throw light on the deed. De pending upon her arrest appears to lie the ii.nl proof of WHO MURDERED CHARLES "OODSICH. We do not ask the detectives to give up any of their grand theories; that would be too mien for detectives as they are at present consti tuted. We demand, howevei, that the best in telligence the detective force can command be brought to bear in bunting down this woman without delay. Her description slioukl be wide ly published, together with her name and ?'j;h nieces of her history as have been brough' to light. Every day allowed to transpire with I'lis woman unarrested, tends, in a degree that ex perience leads us to dread, to place the w ? de story among the failures of the itolice and he triumphs of crime.

Mr. W'itdoui called up his resolution author izing the select comm:ttee on tran-q?ortation routes to the seaooard to investigate during the recess the subject of interior lines, and to re port upon the same at the next session.

Creager, ot this cit\ , had an adventure yesterday with a noto rious counterteiter at Barton, Allegany countv, which he has no desire to have related with out some very material variations. Armed with a warrant, he went to Barton to arrest Wallace, one of the gang of counterfeiters recently cap tured In Plil lad el phi a. Arriving at Wallace's house he took him into custody, neglecting, however, to put irons on him, as he had been instructed to do. The prisoner asked perm ? siuii to go into his rwui; aud th - obliging officer granted hi? request, but took the precaution to go w .th him. Wallace opened a drawer, took out a heavy pistol, and forthwith began l?eating Mr. Creager over the head, who defended him self as well as he could. A gentleman who ac companied Mr. Creager to the house, bearing the fracas, rushed into the room, and seeing the condition of affairs drew his pistol and fired, wounding Wallace in the arm. He then deMstod from the attack, and jumping through the win dow, made his escape. The mountainous region ahout Barton is not so favorable for the capture of fugitive counterfeiters, so Wallace made his escape and Creager returned to Baltimore by the Cincinnati express, which arrived at Cam den Station last night some live or six hours behind time.
