' - Washtsotok, May 27, 1878.
' The city teems as quiet as any (food size
villjge yoa may find. Tbe same chronic cry
of "bard times" prevails, and yet tbn poopli
seem to be enjoying themselves in their quiet
way; trips to Mount Vernoo with picnic
dinner, on tbe boat are becoming fashiona
ble. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Morrill from
tbe committee on appropriations reported
with numerous omeoJuienls the legislative,
judiciuT and exc utive appropriation bill, nud
smartly after the Senate pioceoded to the
consideration of the articles of impeachment
aguinat Belkap. The above named bit) la
the one which it is thought will create a
dead lock in legislation, as it is well known
that tbe views of tbe Senate and Bouse' dif
fer widely on many of tbe most Important
features of the bill. ..
In the House Mr. Cos asked leave to in
troduce a resolution directing tbe Secretary
of War to inlorm the House what number of
troops are in tbe Southern States and Tor'
what purposes they are there stntioned Ob
jection was made and the resolution was not
entertained.
Mr. Teese offered a resolution which whs
adopted, declaring John P. Patterson, ol
New Jersey, doorkeeper of the House ol
Representatives for tbe remainder of the
44th Congress. The oath of office was ad
ministered to Mr. Patterson by the Speuker.
Mr. Clupp. tbe public printer, is now be.
fore tbe Senate claiming to be a victim to ar
bitrary proceedings on the bnrt of the House
Committee. A proper inquiry was made as
the management of the (tovenitneut proper
ty in bis charge,' and in the course of it hi
was caught stealing, to the surprise of every
body, and was like a ruacally boy who had
been eoundly threshej by a neighbor (or
some piece of villainy, be runs to bis daddy
and yells out that, Mr. Whathisuame bn
whipped him for nothing. So tbe hone-l
Clepp claps himself before bis daddy, th-
Senate, and lyingly Bays be bus boeh ill-
treated. I don't suppose there ever was a
rut caught stealing corn or a fux caught rob
bing a hen most that did not think be was
ill-treated, too.
Ex-Senator McDonald, of Arkansas, tes
tified before the House Committee on Ex
penditures in the Indian Bnrenu that in 187'.'
tbe owners of the Flagstaff silver mine, situ
ated near tbe Emma mine, in Utah, sent
Sbuffer to Europe to eel I the mine before a
hind patent had been grnnted. The mini
was sold and the patent granted, and Shaf
fer remitted to me, Donald ' (then Senator)
312,000, with instructions to pay S.i.OIIO to
John Delano, then chief clerk or the Interi
or Department, 85,000 to , E. Clnfiersoll.
who had acted as attorney, and $1000 to ex
Senator Tbuyer, now Governor of Wiscon
sin. Delano is to be called to testify con
cerning this and his contract for land sur
veying, under which he received $2,500 with
out doing any' work. And so with every
stone which is turned by tbe Grant adminis
tration, some new villainy is unearthed. The
rascals that have been oaught ere but as one
in a thousand. Bat the proceBS of investi
gation still goes on and has already disclosed
to the country the fact that dishonesty is the
rule and honesty tbe exception with tbe par
ty now ia power. ' i- ;
The Supreme Court of Maine has made a
decision by which the old statute authori
zing the overseers of towns to st-nd vagrants
to toe workhouse is declared to' be In con
flict with the Fourteenth amendment, which
provides (bat no State shall deprive any cit
izen of fife, liberty or property without due
process of. law. Judge Walton, who de
livered tbe opinion, says, "II white men and
women may be thus summarily disposed of
at the North, black ooes may be disposed ol
in tbe same way at the Son th, This seems
to be traveling a long way to take care of
tbe worthless citizens of other States at tbe
expense of law abiding citizens of bis own.
Or is it that the Supreme Court of Maine is
willing to put up with tbe trifling annoy
ance of a few vagrants In order to compel
tbe people of the South to grin and bear the
horde of sucb cattle as tbe events of the lust
fifteen years have precipitated Dpon them?

' We learn that pines the purchase of the

of control over tbe locks at Oregon City

right of any craft to pus .through them,
whether carrying freiiilii at one dollar or ten

though competition may have reduc d the

New Orleans: i March. 7, 187fti-.
Dear Sir : ,1 avail myself ofthe first ,
opportuno moment to' answer, jour
IUlH-1 UI 1MB 11 in uii., iiKjuiring 01
me, as In Command at tho tithe,' why1
the pursuit of the Federals after theiV
rout at .the battle of Manassas, July :
21, 1861, was suddenly checked and
tho 'Confederate '.troops recalled to-.
ward Manassas.' I ' will first' state
that, thounh With Geir. 'Jo'scoh K
Johnston's consent I exercised;: com
mand during the battle, at its ,oK)se.;
after I bad ordered'all tho troops on
the field in pursuit, I went nersonally
to the Lewis Housn andeUnquishud
that coinmund to him.' A then start
ed at a gallop to, talio immediate
chargo ot the pursuit on the Center
ville turnpike, but was soon overta-'
iuu by a cornier from Manassas, with
a note addressed to mo by Col. T, G.
Illicit,' ofj Gen. Johnston's staff, who
had been left'thero in the morninar to
forward that General's troops as they
might arrive by rail from Winohes-
tor.; ; Col. Uhelt thereby informod me!
that a strong oouy ot federal, troops
had crossed tlio Bull Hun at . Union
Mills Ford, on our right, and was ad
vancing on Managua,, our depot, of
supplies, which had been necessarily
ell very weakly cnardud.'"! hurried
back to the Lewis House, to cotntnu
niuuto this important,. dispatch to
General Joiinatou and both of us bo-
leving the iiiforinaliou to bit anthen-
tic, I undertook to , repair to the
threatened quarter with L well s and
Holmes' brigades, at that moment
near the Lewis 1 House, where they
had just arrived, too late to take
part m the action; v With these
troops I engaged to attack the ene
my vigorously before ho could euect
lodgment on our side of Bull llun,
but asked to be reinforced as soon as
practicable by such troops as might
bo spared lrom the Centemlle pur
suit. , - ,. ! . .''.'
Having reached the. I vicinity of
Union Mills ford without meeting
any enemy, I ascertained to ray sur
prise that tho reported hostile pass-
ugo was a false alarm growing out of
some movements of our own troops
(a part ot ueneral I). II. Jones br g-
line), who nail ueen thrown acrobS
tho run in the morning; pursuant to
ray offensive planiot operations ot the
day, and upon their retura now to
the south bank of the Kun were mis
taken through "tHeif similarity of
uniform tor the Federals, I returned
to intercept the march of tao two
brigades who were following mo td:
ward Union Mills ; aim us' it was
quite dark' when I met them, and
they I were ' greatly jaded ' by ' their
long march and countermarch during
that hot July day, I directed tticiti td
hall and bivouao where they were.
Hearing that President Davis and
General Johnston had gona .to;, Man-;
nssas, I returned ami found them, be
tween ,9:30 and v 10 o'clock,, at piy
head-quarters. , . , , , ,
nns will explain to you wny mo
partial "retrograde movement" to
which you refer was made, and why
no sustained vigorous pursuit ot 2o
Dowell's army was made that yen-
. . ' . . I. . 1 1 1 ' 1 ' ' 1
lug. Any , pursuit or , tno rcuerais
next day toward their ral ymg point
at and around the Long Bridge over
the . Potomao could have led to no
possible military advantage, protect
ed a that position was by a pystem
nf field works. V, No movement upon
Washin'Ttoa bv ' that . route' could
have been possible, for' eyen if there
had been no such works, tho bridge
a mile in length was commanded
by Federal ships ot war, and a tew
pieces of artillery, or tho destruction
of a small part ot the bridge could
have ma.ie us passage impraciicaoie.
Our only proper operation , was to
pass the Potomac into Maryland, at
or about Edward's Ferry, and march
upon the rear of Washington. With
the hope of undertaking such a move
ment , I had caused a reconnoisance
of the country' and shore (south of
the Potomac) in that, quarter, to be
made in the mouth oi June, but the
necessary transportation, even
for
the ammunition essential to sucli a
movement, had not been provided
for mf forces, notwithstanding my
application for it during more than a
month brforehand, uor . was there
twenty-four hours' food at Manassas
for the troops brought together for
that battle. G. T. Bkaleeoaro.

Gen. Clingman was leading South
ern member of Congress. He was
appointed by Gov. Brai?. of North
Carolina, x Senator in Congress in
158. and elected a
Scnstor by the
North Carolina' Legislature1 in 18G0,,
serving with snch men as Jeff DavtcT
Calhoun, and other, notable Southertr
fire-eaters, until, For ,Su,mptr Jvaa

little to do with politics., Yesterday
in conversation with. a Sun reporter
the General said : " ," v'

"Uh, no ; no lormor slaveowner
