THE FREEDMEN's BANK INvESTIATION.-Thle Senate scet committee on the Freedmen's Bank yesterday exatnited Anson M. Sperry, general tihld agent and inspector of branches, who testilled to the solvency of the bank, and to the marvelous increase of its business from the start up to 1s74, the Uime or 'ts failure. The deposits had grown from $30)0,000 it 186 to $at,000,000IH in 1k72, atid to $55,0,000 in 1854. lHe stated that the cause Of the bank's failure was p-rima'ily th~e violatIon of tihe comtpany's charter in entering a general business in the branches, which opened the doors to wild speculations in reai estate, loans and other doubtful securities. The worst cmiplientiors and losses, he said, are from tile operation~s in Wasington. le had never known tile banik to sustain a loss through the dishon- "sty o1 colored men 1n charge of any of the branches. Marshal Frederick siouglass, former president Of the bank, resumed his testimony, rota which it appeared that, during his short admninistrat ion lie had been able to gain but ilttle insIght Into the true inwardness of the concern. In explanation of the cipher dis- platchies whbichi Mr. Douglass charged were pur- posely hid from h!in, Mr. Stickney, former Sctuary, stated that those dispatches were sim- ply the ordinary precaution taken by the bank in its telegiaphi ceommunication with the branches, and that there was no concealmnent 01 thb m irom the president or other oflicials who had the t ight to know and use them. The comn- maittee adjourned to Thursday next, NEW COMIIssIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIs.-The President to-day appointed Rlowland E. Trow- brk'ge, of Michigan, to be commissioner of In- dian affairs, succeeding Mr. Hayt. The recent statenment of THE STAR that Mr. Trowbridge would be the nominee for tis position is thus contirmed. Mr. Trowbridge was born In Elmira, New York. June 18th, 1821. When a child he removed with his parents to Michigan, In 1841 he graduated at Kengon College, Oio. All his life be has been a farmer. He was elect-. ed to the senate of Michigan in 1858 and in 1858. In 15410 he was elected as a member of the Thirty-seventh Cgrs,serving on the com- mIttee of post oesand post rQsa. He was re-electcd to the Thirt;y-ninth Congress, evn on the committee on revolutionary claimsan agriculture. lie was a deeaeto the Phila- delha "Legalista' COvnIn" He was re- turned to the Fortieth Congress and was 01hm1w- man in that of the mommittee o nantes.1 Hisbe 00 mest nyenne g i National Denocratic Convention. DELEGATIONS FROM CITIES CONTENDING FOR IT, A delegation of upwards of twenty citizens of Cincinnati, Columbus, and other cities in Ohio, arrived in Washington last night, led by ex- Congressman Banning, to whoop up the claim of Cincinnati as the place of holding the national democratic convention. A delegation from Bos- ton, headed by Mayor Prince, Is expected to- morrow. There arrived this morning a dele- gation of eighteen from St Louis. A large dele- gation from Chicago. including Potter Palmer, the hotel king, is expected here to-day in Chi- cago's interest. The Cincinnati men feel hope- ful, and talk confidently. To-day the St. Louis delegation got an impression from some.quarter that Tilden favored St. Louis as the place of meetig. Some of them claim that if such is the fact that the convention will certainly go to St. L.uis. because it is claim'd that Tilden's frier ds are in a mdjority of the executive com- mitl ee, and if he wants the convention held in St. Lcus, they will vote to have it go there. IHE DELEGATION FROM ST. LO1U3, which arrived this morning, consist of ex-Sena- ltr Dav!d II. Armstrong. Hon. John (G. Priest, mewmbcr of the national democratic committee, R. D. Lancaster, Wm. Hyde, editor Missouri R "- mimu,ia Col Don. Morrison. R. P. Fansey, Col. J. G. Prather, ex-Mayor Jo. Brown. Charles E. Elleard and Jos. Griswold, proprietor Lindell Hotel. The delegation have already ascertained that the fact of St. Louis having had the last convention operates forcibly against her pres- ent application. It is plain that Cincinnati is the only real competitor Washington has for the convention. THE WASnINGTON COMMITTEE is working with a will; but t he outlook is not so favorable for Washington as it has been here- tufore. One objection which is urged is that if the convention should meet in this city andl maize a blunder of some kind. that it would be attributed to the influence of the politicians. THE PATE. It is said that the date which will ha l1xed for the holding of the convention will be Wedae,- day, June 16th. Cutting Down the 'Star" 3.ait Ser- vice. ORPER OF THE POSTMASTER OENERIAL. The following is the order in relation to the star mail service issued to-day, as anticipated in yesterday's STAR. TntflieSe nt iA o!' P1'wMW~edP (;.,'o,:- "That there may be no deticiendy created to n:alutain I he star service for the present, lil year. I direct that on and after lhe 1st of nxI proximio, the service en all star routes be re- duet i to Ane trip per week. allowing one mouth's extra pay as prot ided by law on service dis- pens(d v, ith. I also direct that th- service placed en new routes sin,e, and inlIing JIly ist. 1:. be disOntirutud, it the foregoing r(- dluctiol is not suflieitrt for the purpose indi- catt d. I think tet rapid growl i of populati n 1:d biinss in the territor:s. and in the ii,x ,tates. and the restoration of improvement of the service in the southera states, demands ih- existin'g service, arid in many instances addi- tional service on old and new service on recently tstablished routes. I also belie;e the public service will suffer by the redict ion, but the law rcgi-ires that I sh-1ll not exeed the apprrpt'ia- t ion. and I am determined to conform to t he law." (signed.) D.M. KEY. POST"tASTERGENERAL. THE FUT'RE (OVERNMENT OF 1NIIIAN TERRI- ToRY.-The senate committee on territories re-day unanimously agreed to, and Senatot L.gan reported favorably, 31r. Vest's substit ute for the Oklahoma bill. The st:bst itute provides that, with consent of t lie Indians, the lands of the Indian territory shall be divided among the various tribes, tHR acres to each man, woman and child: also pro-ides for a United States court in the territory, and permits the Indians to become citizens of the I'nited States. The House commit tee on territories yesterday agreed to report favorably the same bill. Thie Indians of the Indian lerritoryhave heretofore made better opposition to all propositions looking to a change in their government In that territory. but it is claimed t1at as this bill reitires their consent before any thing is done they wil iot light it, THE quid nunes say that th- Gr.il p.o- gramme is that Senator Roscoe (onklint is to be made the permanent presiling oft:"r of the national republican convention at Chicago. NEARLY THIRTEEN MILLION FOR Pctt: IlI.n- Iscs so FAR.-The House committee on publie buildings and grounds some days Si nce a topt ed a resolution not to report to the Hous, for itl. present any more bills appropri"t.ing money for public buildings. At their meet ing tills 'ri- ing they reconsidered ther former a' ion and granted leave to report favorably to tihe iit.w on Monday next the bill appropriating nut for the purchase or a site at Ball inolre. A;i., for a post olice. The bills iutroduced 11 tie pr- ent Congress and referred to this committee ptovide for appropriations for new public build- ings now amounting in the aggregate to $ i2.- i7iu,o, with six states to be heard from that have not yet put in their claims. MARINE HOSPITAL SERvic.-The House coin- miltt.ee of commerce at its meeting this morn- ing Instructed Mr. 31cLane to report a bill to increase the efliciency of the marine hospital service. The bill as adopted by the committe; legalizes the service as now performed under existing regulations. The committee also adopt- ed a resolution introduced in the House by Rep- resentative Cox proposing the transfer of a part or Bedloe's Island in New York harbor. for ma- rine hospital purposes, and instructed Repre- sentative Henderson to report it to the House with a favorable recommendation for its pas- sage. NO TROOPS FOR NEW MEXICO AND ColRAD.- It has been decided not to grant the requests of the governors of New Mexico and Colorado for more troops just now. It is thought. that the torces now in New Mexico and Colorado are suticient for all present emergencies. Orders have, however, been given them to be ready for service at a moment's notice. It Is beile%ed that Mlcrrow will soon put an end to Victoria's raid and that an amicable settlement of the Ute troubles in Colorado will soon ba reached. Therefore it is considered unnecessary to fur- ther reinforce New Mexico and Colorado.

MENOCAL IN FAVOR OF THE NICARAGUA ROUTE. The cnmmittt.'e on the inter-oceanic canal ha'1 before it this morning M1r. A. G. Mennca1, U. S. N., one of t.h civil enrineers formerly engaged in making surveys of the Isthmus, and heird his statement as to the relative advantages and disedvantages of the Panama and Nicaragua routes. Mir. Menocal favored strongly the Nicaragua route as being 604) miles shorter than the Panama one, as between New York and San Francisco, and because of the greater salu- brity of its climate. the better supply of betid- ing material and its relative cheapness of construction. He expressed his con- viction that the cost of - the Nicaragua canal would not exceed seventy million, while that of a sea level canal at Panama would not be less than four hundred mil- lion. The latter he regarded as commercially impracticable. He a ted that the passage by Nicaragua would co sume more time on account of its greater length and the larger niuber of locks, and that the annual expense of maintaining it would be twice as great, but lie thought that these objections were more than set off by its relative cheapness. Ie was asked by Mr. Hutchins whether he had read the recent reports of Mr. Dierck's opinions as to the feasibility of the Panama canal? lie said that he had. Question.-What do you think of his ability as an engineer? Answer.-I think he is a very able man. Q.-Ilas he any supe- rior in I he world for engineering of that kind? Does he not stand at the head of his profession? A.-I think so. Q.-If he should say that he considers the Panama canal entirely feasible and practicable. would you still adhere to your own opinion as against his? A.-I would: be- cause I think he does not know enough of the American Isthmus to form an opinion. Ques- tion by Mr. Frye:-Were these various surveys of the Ianama rouie under our government made with the inclination on the part of the authorities to adopt that route, if practicable. or were they made adversely, as crit leisms on 1 he route? Mr. Menocal.-They were made for the purpose of ascertaining which route wasthe best. Commander Lull and Lieutenant Collins. of the Lavy, were also present by invitation of the uomnittee. hut their examination had to be d"- ferred icr the pre,ert. Nociety Notes.

Political Notes. 31r. George William Curtis, an anti-third- termer. has been badly defeated as a candidate for delegate to the New York republican con- sention. .Tne Cleveland heralt says that, if Mr. Sher- man cannot obtain the nomination, all his lirlenns would prefer the success of Mr. Blaine to that of the ex-president- A Shermnn club has been formed in Brooklyn with a strong Ust of members, and oflicered by prominent business men. The Pennsylvania greenback convention will meet at Harrisburg, March 23; the Kansas re- publican state convention, at Topeka, March 31; and the Michigan republican state convention, at 1)etroit, May 12. A revolution has taken place in the manage- ment of that important paper, the Albany Jot ml. Ieretofore it has been run in the Conkling Interest; but on Wednesday a new editor was put in, and a change of policy indi- cated by its withdrawal of itsprevious approval of the nomination of Conkling's man (Smyth) for insurance superintendent, and the publica- tion of an article demanding his rejection by the state senate. The test vote on Smyth's case in the senate yesterday stood 22 to 9 -against conilrming his appointment. This looks altogether like a mutiny against machine rule In the republican ranks of the Empire state. It is argued by the Chicago S/aats Z -U'enw, the leading German organ in the northwest, that Washburne's positive declination to run f tarts a big boom for' him in case neither G;rant, Blailne nior Sherman can be nominated. Its theory IS thlat he will be the second choice of the friends of all of them, and that they wviii stangede for him after a few ballots have been taken. The District in Congress.

This sub- ject has been, and. In fact, is still under con- sideration by the Senate District committee. The District Commissioners asked that the en, largement Of thle City Hall be made so as to ac- comamodate the District government. The Senate committee directed the CommissIoners to have plans prepared and ascertaIn ho0w much It would cost, in addition to the piarLS and esti- mates prepared by the Capitol architect for en- larging so as to accommodate the courts. The CommIssioners will, the committee suppose, submit their plans at an early day, and It is very probable that thea District Commnittee will recommend an apporiation large enough to enare the City Hallbuidinso as tuaccommodate the DistrIct omeies as wel as the courts.

The worstcmiplientiors and losses, he said, are from tileoperation~s in Wasington. le had never knowntile banik to sustain a loss through the dishon-"sty o1 colored men 1n charge of any of thebranches. Marshal Frederick siouglass, formerpresident Of the bank, resumed his testimony,rota which it appeared that, during his shortadmninistrat ion lie had been able to gain butilttle insIght Into the true inwardness of theconcern. In explanation of the cipher dis-platchies whbichi Mr. Douglass charged were pur-posely hid from h!in, Mr. Stickney, formerSctuary, stated that those dispatches were sim-ply the ordinary precaution taken by the bankin its telegiaphi ceommunication with thebranches, and that there was no concealmnent 01thb m irom the president or other oflicials whohad the tight to know and use them.

National Denocratic Convention.DELEGATIONS FROM CITIES CONTENDING FOR IT,A delegation of upwards of twenty citizens of

Cincinnati, Columbus, and other cities in Ohio,arrived in Washington last night, led by ex-

Congressman Banning, to whoop up the claimof Cincinnati as the place of holding the nationaldemocratic convention. A delegation from Bos-ton, headed by Mayor Prince, Is expected to-morrow. There arrived this morning a dele-gation of eighteen from St Louis. A large dele-gation from Chicago. including Potter Palmer,the hotel king, is expected here to-day in Chi-cago's interest. The Cincinnati men feel hope-ful, and talk confidently. To-day the St. Louisdelegation got an impression from some.quarterthat Tilden favored St. Louis as the place ofmeetig. Some of them claim that if such isthe fact that the convention will certainly go toSt. L.uis. because it is claim'd that Tilden'sfrier ds are in a mdjority of the executive com-mitl ee, and if he wants the convention held inSt. Lcus, they will vote to have it go there.

IHE DELEGATION FROM ST. LO1U3,which arrived this morning, consist of ex-Sena-ltr Dav!d II. Armstrong. Hon. John (G. Priest,mewmbcr of the national democratic committee,R. D. Lancaster, Wm. Hyde, editor Missouri R "-

mimu,ia Col Don. Morrison. R. P. Fansey, Col.J. G. Prather, ex-Mayor Jo. Brown. Charles E.Elleard and Jos. Griswold, proprietor LindellHotel. The delegation have already ascertainedthat the fact of St. Louis having had the lastconvention operates forcibly against her pres-ent application. It is plain that Cincinnati isthe only real competitor Washington has forthe convention.

THE WASnINGTON COMMITTEEis working with a will; but t he outlook is not sofavorable for Washington as it has been here-tufore. One objection which is urged is thatif the convention should meet in this city andlmaize a blunder of some kind. that it would beattributed to the influence of the politicians.

THE PATE.It is said that the date which will ha l1xed for

the holding of the convention will be Wedae,-day, June 16th.

It has been decided not to grant the requests ofthe governors of New Mexico and Colorado formore troops just now.

The Inter-Oceanic Canal inquiry.MR.' MENOCAL IN FAVOR OF THE NICARAGUA

ROUTE.The cnmmittt.'e on the inter-oceanic canal ha'1

before it this morning M1r. A. G. Mennca1, U. S.N., one of t.h civil enrineers formerly engagedin making surveys of the Isthmus, and heirdhis statement as to the relative advantages anddisedvantages of the Panama and Nicaraguaroutes. Mir. Menocal favored strongly theNicaragua route as being 604) miles shorter thanthe Panama one, as between New York andSan Francisco, and because of the greater salu-brity of its climate. the better supply of betid-ing material and its relative cheapnessof construction. He expressed his con-viction that the cost of - the Nicaraguacanal would not exceed seventy million, whilethat of a sea level canal at Panamawould not be less than four hundred mil-lion. The latter he regarded as commerciallyimpracticable. He a ted that the passageby Nicaragua would co sume more time onaccount of its greater length and the largerniuber of locks, and that the annual expenseof maintaining it would be twice as great, butlie thought that these objections were morethan set off by its relative cheapness. Ie wasasked by Mr. Hutchins whether he had readthe recent reports of Mr. Dierck's opinions as tothe feasibility of the Panama canal? lie saidthat he had. Question.-What do you think ofhis ability as an engineer? Answer.-I thinkhe is a very able man. Q.-Ilas he any supe-rior in I he world for engineering of that kind?Does he not stand at the head of his profession?A.-I think so. Q.-If he should say that heconsiders the Panama canal entirely feasibleand practicable. would you still adhere to yourown opinion as against his? A.-I would: be-cause I think he does not know enough of theAmerican Isthmus to form an opinion. Ques-tion by Mr. Frye:-Were these various surveysof the Ianama rouie under our governmentmade with the inclination on the part of theauthorities to adopt that route, if practicable.or were they made adversely, as crit leisms on1 he route? Mr. Menocal.-They were made forthe purpose of ascertaining which route wasthebest.Commander Lull and Lieutenant Collins. of

the Lavy, were also present by invitation of theuomnittee. hut their examination had to be d"-ferred icr the pre,ert.

Political Notes.31r. George William Curtis, an anti-third-

termer. has been badly defeated as a candidatefor delegate to the New York republican con-sention..Tne Cleveland heralt says that, if Mr. Sher-

man cannot obtain the nomination, all hislirlenns would prefer the success of Mr. Blaineto that of the ex-president-A Shermnn club has been formed in Brooklyn

with a strong Ust of members, and oflicered byprominent business men.The Pennsylvania greenback convention will

meet at Harrisburg, March 23; the Kansas re-publican state convention, at Topeka, March 31;and the Michigan republican state convention,at 1)etroit, May 12.A revolution has taken place in the manage-

ment of that important paper, the AlbanyJot ml. Ieretofore it has been run in theConkling Interest; but on Wednesday a neweditor was put in, and a change of policy indi-cated by its withdrawal of itsprevious approvalof the nomination of Conkling's man (Smyth)for insurance superintendent, and the publica-tion of an article demanding his rejection bythe state senate. The test vote on Smyth'scase in the senate yesterday stood 22 to 9-against conilrming his appointment. Thislooks altogether like a mutiny against machinerule In the republican ranks of the Empirestate.

It is argued by the Chicago S/aats Z -U'enw,the leading German organ in the northwest,that Washburne's positive declination to runf tarts a big boom for' him in case neitherG;rant, Blailne nior Sherman can be nominated.Its theory IS thlat he will be the second choiceof the friends of all of them, and that they wviiistangede for him after a few ballots have beentaken.
