WASHINGTON NEWS.

Colored Folks Iligblj Offended at the Mood j Color Mae General Grant Mentally and Physically. Resignation of Offlco Talked of General Newton on tho Eads Proposod Contract. AX EVANGELICAL COLOR LINE lias Bees Drawn at the Moody Revival In Washington Tbe Colored People Indignant Over the Matter EpccWl to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 10. A good deal of feeling ha? been manifested by numbers of colored churches here because tbe managers of the meetings held by Moody, the great evangelist, have drawn the color line in their programme, by failing to give the pastors of colored ch arch es their proportionate share of admission ticket. An awkward attempt was made to smooth the matter over by appointing a meeting exclusively for colored people, but this only made matters worso. Many white memben of chuiches are very indignant oyer the eeming m-Chriatian pandering to race prejudice, and hundreds of them would not have attended the meetings at all if th?y had not been satisfied that Mr. Moody abhors such deference to prejudices at war with the tree spirit of Christianity. While the meetings have been very successful and interesting, there is no doubt but that this unfortunate faux pas has shorn them of mach of their ueetclDess. The meetings are being held at the Congrega tional Church, which is largely supported by people in official position, and Lere are those who say that the slight of the Colored brethren was not an oversight. Qeneral Grant Said to be Agin Very IXapidly. Special to the Sentinel. Washikotov, Jan. 10. Along with the talk about the probability of General Grant being placed on the retiied list, daring the psst week, has been some comment upon bis mental and physical condition. A gentleman who has conversed with the General daring the three days just past, told us to-day that Congress may be called upon yery soon to pas3 a resolution of respect to his memory instead of a bill to give him rank and pay in the army. He said the General is quite gray; that there are deep furrows in his face and a f illness about his eyes, making him the p'ctare cf d&cpair at times. General Grant, he said, seldom smiles, and seems to take little interest in anything except tailing over his battles with his old war friends A flrent Many Resignations Kxpectcd 'When the New Cabinet Is Formed. Ppedal to tie Sentinel. Washington', Jan. ID It is believe! that notwithstanding the general greed for office and the love there is entertained for position here, that when the new Cabinet is formed in March most of the men holding prom'nent places will tender their resignations and ayjid the embarrassments tbat must ensae in asking for xes'gnations. Naturally the changes in the important places will La yery rapid until there are many new men p it in, because the higher ocsitions are all more or less confidential and closely related to the Cabinet officers, who will want men of their own ideas beaide them. (ULYESTOX HARBOR. What ChUf Euglneer Newton Says of Ilrui' Proposed Contract From a Purely Huatneaa Point of View. Washi.vijton, Jan 19. General Newton, Chief Engineer, was requested last week to present his views to the River and Harbor Committee on tbe improvement ot Galvaton harbor, at a cost of ?7,750,000, as proposed by Captain Eads. Along com-nuni-cation was received from General Newton, to-day, by Mr. Willis, Chairman of that committee. General Newton says Kala premises a navigable depth of thirty feet of water, with a proviso, however, that a depth of thirty feet will be taken without regard to width. In other words the thirty feet channel need not be over two feet in width, and consequently not a uavigable channel at all. The proposed contract, in fact, only requires a navigable channel of twenty-six feet in depth and -00 feet in width, with continuous line stands of thirty feet in depth, but without regard to width. By this provision of the contract, after attaining twenty-live feet over the bar, Gece ral Newton soys that EaJs becomes entitled to $0X0,000; a sum of money, in his opinion, vastly in excess of the cost of the work necessary to produce that result. He continues: The amount of compensation dee after obtalhicg a depth of tweatyrive feet over the bar is so large in comparison with that which tbe contractor would afterward re?eive for completing the contract, hat a strong temptation would arise, particiUrly shvilu difficulties appear ahead at that siaje of the operations, to abandon the work. It must b? noted tbat the depth allude 1 to would probably be obtained, if It all, before it should become necessary to put on concrete pappicg so that b7 retiriD early hi might s!ogetridof that part of tbe contract. 6ecnoniof tbe proposal contract atatea "ibst said tads and Ms associate shall be untranmeld in and full anl free exercise of hia or their judgment, skill and experience in the location, design and construction of said works, and all appurtenaeee thereto." I submit that this constitatu power over the navigable waters cf the United States,

unrestra'ned by any provision for supervision of tbe contractor's plans, which shoild never be conferred opon any individual. General Newton says. In hia objection, he does not intend any allusion, even indirectly, to Eads, but he has endeavored to treat the subject as a pure business transaction.

NATIONAL NOTES. The Cattle Trail lUlI-Keport of the Public Printer Cherokee Zndlin Leaee, Etc Washington, Jan. 10. The bill introduced by Eenator Coke to establish a quarantined live stock trail, provides for the appointment of three commisioners to 1 ay out and establish a public highway for the purpose of driving live stock to market cr from one place to another; and also to establish at convenient pointton this highway or trail snUahle quarantined grazing ground wnera lite sTock may be held and grazed for short pericds during the drive. Tais trail 8'oail begin on the Ued River, near the I00:h degree of lorgitude, thenc run in a northwesterly direc'iou through the Indian Territory, following as far as practicable the Fort Gritliu and Dodee City trail to the southwestern corner of Kansas, and thence over unappropriated lands of the United States in a northerly direction to the boundary line between toe United Siates and Canada. The trail is not to exceed six miles in width, and the quarantined grazing grounds shall not exceed twelve miles fquare. Unappropriated public lands neefd for the purpose of the act are to be wijJrawn for settlement and set apart for tbe purpoies of the act for ten years. The report of tbe coraraissioaera requires the tMoval of the Secretarv of t ie Interior nefore the trail is established. Tea thousand dollar are appropriated for the purposes cf the act. Tne Public Printer to-day transmitted to the Senate his report fjr the fiscal year ended June 30. 184. The retort says that printin by the order of the Senate cost $14!,lt.'i against ; 1,104; and the Huse printing '26t"Z3 gainst ?i7.",2ö7 for the previous year. On the p-obat le introduction 0 cholera inte this ountry and it3 retatron to his office, the Pablic Printer syi: "I am advise! that imported re largely naed hy the contractor who sullies the paper. The TreaßUJy Department has iued- an orier prohibiting the importition of rage lrom choloMinfected countries. If there be dauber iu the n-e of rue nt the mill It would seea that the dis-3ie mi'jhtbe communicated in the paper dMlyjeoeived at this ofiics. In view oi the in'ected npproach of cholera, and in tbe name of 2,::00 people nnrtf r my charge, I submit thin as a pro;er question; for thclc-onsideratlon of Consrebs." An appropriation of 2,075,000 is asfced for the coming fiscal jear, against $i,0 15,000, the estimate for the current fiscal ytor. The Pablic Printer says he ha9 applied the spirit of the civil service law in the management of his ottice as far as be was able to, and says there is net a foreman or an assistant foreman in th9 office wbo is not competent to do the work of his subordinates. Dr. Adair, of tho Indian Territory, a Cherokee, wa examined by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs today. He said he was President of an association of Ch?rDfcees formed for the purpose of taking a lease cf the vacant lands of the Cherokees. The association's agents were authorized to oiTVr 125 COO for the J'Me, but it was secured br outsiders for ?100,ojO. The impression of the members cf the native association was that money was used by their rivals. Cash was a very rare commodity amoag tbe Cherokees before tbe leaäe was made. About the time it was made, however, members of the Conncil came to the witness' store with 30 bill" to be change J. A life size portrait of the late President Garfield has been purchased to be placed in the room of the House Committee on Appropriations, of which committee he was chairman while a member nf tbe Hous.

Mr. Barr has introduced a bill against dangerous toys, making it a misiemeanor to sell, manufacture or expose for sale any toy pistol or other devise exploding a can.

The ioint caucus of the Democratic Senators acd Represenatlves, called to nominate a candidate for the United States Sente, assembled at 7:30 o'clock lait evening in the Hall of Rfprcaenla'ives, and organized with Hon. David S. Gooding, of Hancock, as Chairman, and Senator Magee and Representative Debs, as Secretaries. Mr. Gooding said be trusted tbe meeting wou'd be harmonious, and expressed tbe hope that there would be but one sentiment. On motion of Senator Weir the reporters and citizens generally were allowed to rem in. A call of the roll showed nearly all cf tbe Demccratic members present. Senator Hillif&ss presented tbe came oi Hon. D. W. Voorheesand rcoved tbat he be nominated for reelection to the Srnate by acclamation. Senator Willard thought it would be Lett to call tbe roll as the action of tbe caucus might be construed as establishing a precedent, and referred to the action of the caucus of 1S72, where this view was adopted, although the members were unanimous for the Senator about to be nominated. Tbe caucus looked upon tbe matter in a different light, and tbe motion to call the roll v?ae defeated by a vote of 10 (o ".f. The rcscit was received with loud applause. Senator Voorhees was then nominated by acclamation, tbe caucus rising as one man. Senator Schlcss and Representative Debs, both of Vieo County, were then chosen to nominate Senator Voorhees in the Senate and HouEe, respectively, to-day, when the ehctir n of a United States Senator will com np. Senator Willard was selected to second tte I cmination in the Senate, but when Mr. Jewe tt moved that all Democrats so desiring should second the nomination in the House, tbe same latitude was given in the Senate, and there will no doubt be several secendf to day in both branches of the Legislature. The following resolution was introduced hy Heritor Maee, and unanimously adopted by a rising vote. Hie Democratic raembers of the Gencr&I Anperaoly cf ludiiLa unanimously repn.tcnt to Prt liiert elect Cleveland that ttie National esteem in which the Hon. Josepn I'.

stitutional advisers would beeireeGlauly $rrtMfnot only to the Democracy of Indiana but to tbe pt-opie of the State gcnerdiiy. The caucus then adjourned, having" h?en in eeisicn absut thirty minutes. THE KEri'KLICAN f ivr. The membsrs cf the minority in the Indiana Legislature met in tte Federal Court room last evening for the purposo of nominating a csjdidate for the United States Senate. For several days past ther) has been some quiet I03 rolling among th Republican members, some being in favor of Porter, a few for Camback, and others for Tcm Brown. While the contention has not been of a very bitter character, It was sufficiently marked to excite comment, tbongu from the first Governor Porter has been in the lead. The Republican machine, or rather what ia left of it, his been quietly working in the intert st of tbe ex Governor, their chief a'gament being that an irdcrsement of his administration was all the more necessary on account cf the late defeat sustained by the party. Mr. Cumback's following was made op of a few wbo believed that his decsrtiou of the ternperence people during tbe campaign should receive eome acknowledgment, and tbe.t now, while the party had nothing to give, would be the best time to make a show o generosity. Tbe caucus met and oreacized with Mr. Senator Huston in the chair, and Representative Brownlee actirg secretary. Tßerewa. seme button-holing, and little fquaia coliecicd at different places in the room. Porter's frier ds endeavoring to eet a unacioiou endonement without the formality cl a ballot. The efTort, however, proved abortive, and a ballot was ordered, w ith tbe following result: Porter, ; Cumback, 12; Brown. ; John M. BnUer, 2 and W. H. Calkins and IL F. Taylor, 1 each Fiom this it w:ll be ftn that Porter's strength is represented by 20 votes and the opposition to him oy Hi. Seeing that he had the nominalen, a motion prevailed to make it cnaoirnons. In tbe Senate this morning the nom n will be presented by Mr. Drake and seconded by Mr. Huston; in the Houm, by Mr. Copland, seconded by Mr. Adams.
