He believed that no drawback should be allowed to any person, except the importer hi in sell or his regularly appointed attorney. He hud requested the treasury department to enforce tins rule. The collector, during the day, re ceived a letter from Secretary Manning di recting immediate inquiry into the barge of fice abuses. It reads as follows: “The representations and complaints grow ing out of the treatment of passenger* and their bagjige arriving by water at the port of New 1- riMrequire the immediate atten tion of this department. In order that 1 may be fully and officially informed of all the facta and circumstances you are directed in association with the naval officer and sur veyor of the jxjrt to make immediate inquiry into the alleged evils of the existing system in the management of the barge office, and into the remedies of those evils if they shall be found to exist, and make re|M>rt to me in .writing.”- The eoptriiissioners now investigating the -custom bWse frauds have reccoinmetidfld to the treasury department that government officers and other persons shall not be per mitted to exchange foreign money for immi granta. It is further recommence 1 that one person only should be allowed to establish an exchange office in the barge office. (Collector Robertson was notified some time ago to order the abolishment of an indiscriminate exchange business. He referred the matter to Surveyor Benedict, with instructions to report to the secretory of the treasury. The collector complied with the order of the treasury department, and both he and the surveyor claim that the custom does not now exist. Secretary Manning has refused to grant the exclusive privilege of exchange to any one person, claiming that such a privi lege might be abused, and that to confer it might be rt*garded as the granting of a mo nopoly. Senate. Washington, March 19. —The chair laid before the senate the resolution by Mr. Miller, of New York, authorizing the committee of agriculture and fores try to **et during the re cess of congress to consieer the best means of preserving the forest of the public domain, and to employ a clerk at a regular per diem to be paid from the contingent fund of the senate. Mr. Cockrell protested against the practice of the senate incurring so much expense for special committees during the recess, and un less it is stopped, he said, the majority will find they are making an extravagant expen kiture from the contingent fund for this pur pose. While the majority of the senate had the power to do this, ne wished to put on record his protest agai is: it. Mr. Miller (N. Y.) explained that the only expenditure contemplated was for a regular per diem clerk, six hours per day. A debate followed ou the suojectot the senate clerkship, during which it was inti mated by Mr. 'Van Wyck that only the com mittees a- ig to sit during the recess, and to employ i/rk were those not entitled un- ; der the ru.c >i• an annual clerk.

VISIT TO IRELAND, THE POSSIBLE ACTION AGAINST PAR- NELL FOR TREASON. Yates’ I ibel Suits—“ All the Perfumes <s Arabia Could Not Sweeten Dublin Castle” Furore Over YVales’ Visit. General Foreign Nows. IjONDON, Mandi 19.—Thu approaching visit of the prince and princess of Wai**s to Ire land has caused the most serious lifferences in the ranks of the Dublin nationalists which have confronted their leaders since the party was formed. The apology of the lor<i mayoi was the fimt wedge driven into the solid body of T'arnell's followers' corporation. Since that unexpected shock schism has been grow ing. Mr. Mayne, M.P., when putting a resolution at a recent private imputing of nat ionalist members of the cor}M>ratton. <ie<*lared thqt. Ihe prince royal and his mother were nothing more than puppets in the matter, and that the addressed moved would really be to Mr. Gladstone and Lord Spencer. He warned every man iu the corporation of Dublin who should take a course other than that Ireland demanded and expected from him that he would lose his scat in the corpor’ation and be simply annihilated at. the polls. Meanwhile the vast majority of wealthy ami responsible citizens, who ar< greatly amused at tho efforts of the national ists, are quietly and thoroughly preparing a reception, all tho better fur the absence of the lord mayor and corporation. Edward Guinness and the younger brothei of Lord Ardiiaun, both brewers, lead the citizens’ committee. Mr. Guinm ss' position as high sheriff slrengthens his hands and enables him to assume the leadership ot “loyal citizens' with great dignity and power. Acting with Mr. Guinness is u com mittee of 150 itizens of all creeds and poli tics. The requisition on which the commit tee has l>«*en appointed was signed by 61i« ius andsof names in a few days.

During the de bate on the proposed address Mr. Timothy Daniel Sullivan, home rule member of par liament for Westmeath county, d<*scribed the proposed visit of the Prim e and 1 rim-ui s of Wales as an attetopt to politically whitewash Dublin castle. “AH the perfumes of Arabia,’ cried out Mr. Hullivan, “could not sweeten Dublin castle.” This exclamation was re ceiver! with cheers. The municipal councils of Kings to » a arid Dai key voted to present adiire-ses of welcome to the Prince and Prin cess of Wa’cs upon their arrival. Mr. Gladstone has r/commended Earl Spencer, lord lieutenant jf Ireland, to the queen as deserving to have conferred upon him some signal mark of royal appreciation for the conspicuous ability he has displayed fn the management of her majesty’s affairs in Ireland.

A PROPHECY. (“M. V.
