Ma jor Cavagnari explained that tbe viceroy of India's proclamation commented on facts and events as manifesting the st rength of the Brit lsh Government and the failure of the ameer's resistance, and reported the assurance that we have no quarrel with the people of Afghanis tan. The principal khan expressed hLs con tentment with tbe charge of authority and freely offered his services. The health of the troops is good, and they are settling down comfortably in their different camiw. With J wet weather, however, there will certainly I come more &YcE.ness.bxt not sufficient to luake serious inroads on the strength of the toTce. The most unhealthy positions are probably All .Ma&jid and' Dakka. General Stewart's troops marched through ' CandaJian aiid are encamped on the Glinzoer. Supplies are being plentifully offered by the people, who show a friendly spirit along the whole of General Stewart's line of march; in fact the population has been quiet.

FROM THE CAPITAL.

Cordial Reception of Governor Hend rick's by Both Parties. Funeral Services of the Late Mr. Schleicher Held Yesterday. ' The Sugar Tax at Last to bo Reported to the House. LiTely Tight Being Made for the Berlin Misaioe. WASHINGTON TOPICS. FUNERAL CEREMONIES OF THE LATK KKl'RB 8ENTATIVE SCHLEICHER WARM RECEPTION OF GOVERNOR HENDRICKS AFTER THE BEKU3 MISSION THE SUGAR QUESTION SENATOR VOORHEES WILL NOT LEAVE WASHINGTON. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Jari. IS. The funeral Mrvices held to day in the Hail of Representatives over the remains of Representative Schleicher, of Texas, were of the most imposing and impressive character. The president and members of hig cabinet, the judges of the supreme court of the United States and members of the United States Senate were all in attendance. By a resolution of the House the rukn were suspended, and the families of the members were admitted on the floor. The galleries were crowded to their utmost capacity, and hundreds were turned away. Governor Hendricks was on the floor of the Honse to-day, and was the recipient ol the most flattering attentions, the members vieing with each other to pay their respects without regard to party. It was noticeable that In the crowds that gathered around him, the Republicans at times outnumbered the Democrats. He occupied a seat near Hon. B. Fuller, of the Indiana delegation, during the funeral ceremonies, and seemed much impressed with the solemnities of the occasion. Pursuant to arrangement the members of the Missouri delegation, with the exception of Mr. Cole, called on the president and the secretary of state, to ask for the appointment of Ex-Senator Henderson to the Berlin mission. Tbe president received them kindly, hut gave no Indication of his purpose or intentions in the matter. Representatives Pollard and Crittendon both made very forcible and well digested arguments in favor of this appointment, and Crittenden reminded the president that while Missouri was Democratic, and they : proposing' - keeping it so. yet - the ' - appointment of ; General Henderson was one that would reflect honor upon the administration, and that in this case the acceptance of the position would be an act of condescension on the part of thjr recipient. Senator Armstrong and tne Democrnllo mei bersis well a? the Republicans, are entitled to great credit for the earnestness displayed in this matter, and they all feel that the piesident will have missed his opportunity U he declines to grant their request. Ex-Governor Hartranft and Hon. James Latta, of Pennsylvania, are here, and it is con jectured that their visit has reference to the Berlin mission also. ' . The sub-committee of the House Committee of. Ways and Means will submit a report to morrow recommending tbe rejection of the polarlscope test and the retention of the Dutch standaid test. They propose three classifications, as follows: Sugars not testing above Mo 13,210-100 cents per 100 pounds; from No, 13 to 16, 2 75-100 cents per 100 pounds; above No. 16, ' four cents per 100 pounds. The Louisiana planters and Cubans are pleased, but the Boston importers and refiners and those who wanted a uniform grade up to No. 10 are furious about it. Fernando Wood opposed it, and says half of the committee will light it on the floor, and that the bill can not pass. . ! ' Senator Vooihees will not go to Indiana during the senatorial election, preferring to leave his Interests wholly in the hands of his friends. His duties on the Financial Commit' tee are of such a pressing nature, that be does not feel at liberty to leave. 4 To the Associated Press. . . SENATOR THUKMAS FUltNISIIE-i THE TELLER .

They also called the attention or the president to the recent decUlon of the supreme court lu relation to polygamous marriages, and to the effect of enforcing the act of 186', and said it would make thousands of women outcasts and their children illegitimate. The president said that he was deeply impressed by what had been said, and requested that Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Weils make out their statements in writing and submit them to him. Hi wanted all the information on the subject he could procure. They promised to do this, and the president then asked them how ; he could serve them. The reply was, "by vetoing any bill to enforce the act of 1862." In answer to the men: onal and the remarks made in relation to female suffrage, the president said: "You say I have Ig nored the women of t lie country in "Jiy annual message. I will carefully consider what yon have said, and the papers yon have presented to me, in my next message. I will act accordlug to the dictates of my conscience and the best light I have."

It is held that no adequate survey of the ullesed grant ever has been made, or ever can le made, which will correspond with tbe concession, owing to erroneous ideas which were entertained at tbe time it was made us to the source an 1 direction of White river, by reference to which it was Intended to be located. t'RIME AND CASUALTIES).
