IVasbiDgton Socletj Torn Up OTCr Dae and Dadine Army and Nary Oflicers Belnff Transferred, Tho Sonato Contingent Fuud Ex travagance Soft Clerkships in the Senate to bo Overhauled. DUDES AND DUD INES. Oflicera, I'ets or .Society, OrUered on Duty. special to the Sentinel. Vaiijn;ton, March 2'J There is no' abatement aruonc the dndes and dadinea of society over the annoarjcement that s'.xty or seventy jouDg sprig ol of.icera in thaarmy and navy, who have been assigned here for a numter o! yf ais on nominal duty, and who have been the rxainsprings of the german and progressive euchre, are to be ordered to the front, acd the sun barned boys who nave been deprived of civilization for years ordered here. Tho ladies are holding up their dear hands in decided horror, and besieging Secretrles Kndicott and Whitney to j-p&re- the lilies that have d Ion been planted here for the delectation of society. Thete Secretaries haye been for mora thaa a week betiesed, night and day, by the sisters, wives, mothers and other female relatives and the ladies of society, to not send tne dear boys away, bat they have received no encouragement; the boya must go, and the favors be distributed. It transpires that 1'resident Arthur sanctioned the retention of such army and navy oncers here during his administration as could beat keep up society and the line felIowj he delighted to see at his many receptions and dinner 3. It was a swell affair all through, but the day of reckoning has come and there are to bs radical transfers. It is not contemplated that so many of the officers shall be kept here on allied duty. The Secretaries Eay the men become incapaciatsd; that they have no practical experience, ?row lszy, form habits of dissipation, and eo;v seedsof discontent in toe service. Forevery reason the superior officers ay there should be as few men assigned to Washington from the army and navy es pcssible. Long lists of written protests have been received against the change, beside the verbal remonstrances, but it seems that there is a disposition to display a little discipline here where civilization, society, and the lawmakers may tee it work and feel its saliant eCects. It is raising a hubbub. Troubled by Sherman's Uesolatioo. Special to the Sentinel. Washington', March 2!). There are some very much vexed Senators in Washington to-day. The prospects cf the paisags of the Sherman resolution abolishing the soft places for ornamental clerks of snperiinous committees annoys them. It took a tall lot of scheming to get thoie resolutions through, and it is a hardship almoät beyond the limits of endurance to undo the arrargements that made these sinecure?. Night and day during tho past forty-eight hours, the beneficiaries oi these adopted resolaticns have been rushing about lobbying against the move cf Senator Sherman, and also that of Senator Van Wyck, proposing to abolish the places created for revenue to clerks only. The peODle in the meantime are inquiring, '-What fit of virtue has thus seized these Senatorial Oiin who are trying to undo their work?" Senate Jobs and the Contingent Fand. Special to the Sentinel. WA5-iiiK;TOrT, March 2: Much is bein said about the proposed investigation of the diebnrsena nt of the contingent fand of the Senate. There are a great many stories a1out extravagance and all that sort of thing, and insinuations that aie n t nice ::nd pleasant. There can be no docbt that there has been a very loose rein around the Senate for a year or to, and a good deal of favoritism shown, fn the event of an inquiry that is searching it is probaole that a good many things will develop which will cause blushes to come to the face3 of some men high in authority. It has been a long time since this matter has been looked into. KX-SECRETAKY THOMPSON. No Apolocy NeteMary In Ilegaril to the Political Criticisms on Seeretar Lamar. Wahin.ton, March 2'.'. -In regard to the heated criticism of Secretary Lamar growing out of the order closing the Interior Department Thursday on account of the death of ex Stcretary of the Interior Jacob Thompson, the Secretary ttys: "I have no cpology to make for my action in this matter. The possible political criticisms referred to could never have suggested themselves to my mind. Mr. Thompson was Secretary of the Interior four years. His successors and my predecessors thought his portrait wortay of a mcst conspicuous place in the otii :e of the Secretary, among tbese many itepublirans who filled this ortice. If they regarded his memory worthy of such honor, I could not do otherwise than further remember the otr.ee he once filled, and do honor to his memory exactly as has been the cusiom of the department whenever an ex-SecreUry of the Interior has died. I never heard of an exception beiDg made and know of no reason why one should have been male by me. On the subject of honoring the memory of the dead I have very pronounced views, and I recall the adverse criticism which fallowed ray eulogy on Benator Snmner. I have not changed my views. As I said in the beginning, if those who have preceded me found the portrait of the late Secretary ircithy cf

their company, it was eminently proper that the usual respect for the memory of the daceased should be faithfully observed bv this department. The duty of so ordering is not one requiring further explanation."
