Treasury Trices, Wash. CorTx. Y. Sun. The investigation tlmi reached iar thest and auhioved tlie greatest re sults during tho Forty-fourth Con gress was conducted so quietly, and llmt p:irt of it wbioli lias been publish ed came out 80 closely coincident with the thickest of tliu Prcbidunliul sirngirle, that tho public are not yet generally aware of its importance Tho treasury investigation, under taken by tho Real Estato Pool Com mittee, under tho general powers given it at tho instance ot Mr. Cilo v', LuLiiot yet attracted tho atten tion that it will when it becomes bet ter understood. A part of tho extend ed labor it involved consisted in as certaining irom official records the practical workings of tho no-called system of treasury ohecks in tho p'e paration, issue and retirement ot U. S. Treasury notes and bonds. , When it is remembered that lrens ury transactions are caretully kept so- crel as a rule, that otliuial documents are studiously made tip so that none but an expert can understand tLem, and that such admissions as arc made are so covered up with a massol nerd- ess and unintelliiiiblo ttatem -tits thai ihev are very unlikely to be observed or comprehended, tho diH'utuliy of such a task may be conceived. It has, however, to an extent practically su( ricient, been attained. The fact thai the Treasury three limes defeated the printing ot l ho evidence taken by Mr. Glover's committee, shows how much its officials dreaded tho publication of the information therein contained. During iho fifteen years' existence ot the present Treasury system, near ly 10,0U0 pages of official records and sworn evidence concerning the Treas ury have been printed by tho Govern ment, and more exists iti manusciipt. Scattered through this vast mass ot records are many facts and statements which lead to startling conclusions. These documents, it must be, remem bered, are made up by officials who arc not accustomed to acknowledge laults in institutions whereto they be Ion a. Sena'or (now Sooretary) Sherman reporto 1 from tho Finance Committee 01 i no Si'iiato in 1S7G lh.it the prima y objoct ot tho Treasury organiza tion is to secirre iiiu saio custody and legal disbursement of all public mon eys. Secretary Bristow said that every 'cent received by tho Govern ment was on hand, or properly, ac counted for. Secretary Morrill to ward tho end of tho first session ot the Forty-fourth Congress, soon after this statement o' Bristow's, acknowl edged that officials have lett offico in arrears to the government, within a few years to the extent of $5,500,1 00. A committee ot officials with Goo. W. Riggs, the banker, as chairman, in 1872 reported confusion in tho ac counts of coin received and paid out, and a final tuilure to balance in Secre tary Spinner's accounts. Secretary Morrill stated that tho functions ol the currency printing bureau closely affected the public credit and tho in tegrity of tho national currency. Chief "Clark of that bureau has report ed that lie doos not suppose the sys tem ot safeguards therein is perfect. Assistant Secretary M. IJ. Field testi fied that criticism applies to the sys tem rather than to the individuals in charge. The lt:2gs committee report ed that earnest attention should be di-i reeled to diminishing opportunities for peculations, and for successful cov ering of them up, and that the exist ence of opportunities insures fraud if dishonest men get them. Treasurer Spinner reported in 1870 that opportunities for tlifftj bribeiy, and ' ther dishonest prac ices and wrongs ire ubundant; that scarcely 4 day passes when the head of a depart ment cannot secure, without fear of detection, an amount greater llun his yearly salary; that he has bunnell hail opportunities lor money making such as nave rarely been put with reach ot any man, and that he might easily have become rich in stock speculations by using the advmce information ot Treasury operations winch his posi tion gave him. It has not used all these opportunities, pie;. ty ot oth rs have. Spinner lestitied before the commitiee on Treat ury Expenditures: They have a rule thai nothing raiisl le divulged that takes idaoe in the Taasury." L. C. Baker, the old war detectivo, testified thai, being set to work on Tr- asury cases.and the currency print ing bureau in particular, he found no one in the Treasury inclined to aid in- estijaiion. Seretayr Richardson, in a letter to the Senate, acknowl edged that defalcations and oilier malnrai'tices Were frcaut'lll Sod could h .,.n.m;tt..,l ith iiniiunitv. And that this stale ol things, a well as quirer very aptly remarks: "Hayes remedies lor it. has been cfficially j lalki about the 'permanent pacihca known for ears without correction.! lion of the country.'

Tho general, book keeper to the Currency Printing Bureau, boinur questioned us to irregularities and im proprieties, testified : "I do not like to remember things ot that sort. I do not at present remember anything of .the kind," C. II. Merwin,- Clerk in charge of coupon bonds, Register's office, being asked for information as to a discrepancy of $23,000 between the ucoounta of the lreasurer and those of the Printing Bureau, known to him, says: "I do not like to med dle with othor bureaus." The Curren cy Printing Bureau has often claimed that its processes aro a secret, and Cldef Jewell told tho Backing and 1 i ... . . V. . v-urrcucy vommiitce that the higher cost of tho bureau's work than that of private parties is duo to a secret pro cess; but President Porter, of the Na tional Bank Note Company, testified that "tho very pretense ot secrecy as to this business is evidence of imposi tion." Counsellor Hubbard exposed before tho Committee the nature and wordlessness of this "socret pro cess," for w noli lOO.OOO a year was paid to a former partner of Chief Mo Cartee; while a scientific commission reported to Secretary Bristow that this "process" was a fraud, and Mo Cart eo resigned. Reports and records are in many cases missing from 'ireasury files. Books and papers have disappeared in removing offices from one room to the other. Tho Secretary's papers have been kept in a wooden compart ment of a lott in tho Treasury build ing, with a lock easy to open. The Riggs Committee, reported tho condi lion ot tho Treasurer's office couldn't be ascertained without months of hard labor, by reason of improper methods of keeping accounts and do ing business. . A portion of the Garfield Commit tee to investigate tho Printing Bu reau, reported that the Chief of the Bureau had it in his power to intimi date or reward witnesses according as their testimony may be favorablo or otherwise to Treasury management. This Garfield investigation, it turns out, was accompanied by the daily communication to the Chief, by oblig ing members of the committee, of the names and statements of the witness es against him, A....! mi nn llirnnnb) t-minnhli pages ot testimony taken during sue cessivj Administrai ions, may be found masses and masses of facts showing that the United Slates Treas ury has for years been tho worst man aged financial institution in the World; that nobody knows the tniih about its books and balances, and that no body ever will know uiitil a hew par ty comes into power. How Hampton Looks. An exchange describes Governor Wade Hampton of South Carolina as follows: Governor Hampton is a fine speci men of physical manhood, standing full six feet high in the clear, barring boot heels. His form is willowy, but well knit and compact. His complex ion is swarthy, tinged with enough of ihe roseate hue to indicate a good liver one who docs not intend to die in debt to his stomach. In his move ments he is quick, and his manners aro graceful. His eye aro a deep brown, almost black, and they spar kle with a good deal of animation. They are expressive eyes, of the kind which reflect the inner feelings. His hair is black, though there are places where the gray is making sad inroads. He wears side whiskers and mustache, the taller ending where the former begics, something after the stylo of Senator Burnside, though the whisk ers do not stand out so prominently as do those ot the Rhode Island Sen ator. Boih mustache and whiskers are linged with just gray enough to serve as a reminder of the inriads of lime. He wears a faultless white shirt front, with pearl bullous, and a full black suit, the coal cut frock. Us is ot th it class ot men who have an at tractive less which is noticed in a crowd. Tn Situation. The N. Y. Sun says: Twenty-three States have Dem ocratic Governors. There is a Demo cratic niajoiity in the House. Tho Senate is nearly equally divided, and in two yt'ars will be controlled by me Democrats. There is a white major ity of a quarter ol a million. A Re publican who was not elected Presi dent holds the office through fraud. A hundred thousand Republicans hold the minor Federal offices through the same fraud. This is tho political situation in a nntshell, and it is well to remember the h a ling tacts. . Cuxr Talk.

Although tho Great Powers have united in an approval of tho Russian protocol, the Ottoman Government will not assent to its conditions. That instrument had beou framed so as to conciliate tho Porte, but the advisers ot tho Sultan regard its provisions as a snare, l he proposition Hint it shall he signed first by the Turkish Jlmis istry nnd then by the representatives ot hid tueat rowers, which has been offered to satisfy tho pride of ihe Sul tan, lias proved unavailing to secure its aooeptance. Tho Turkish Ministry is still defiant, aud.judgUigJjHirMli success winch has marked its diplo macy, it will nble to secure its fur ther modifications, Iu view of what has ti suspired it may be asked: Are the efforts of tho Turks to prevent trio dictation of European Govern ments, in the munngement of their in temal affairs, produced by rashness or by a thorough knowledge of the advantages of iheii position arising from non action ? A few weoks ago war looked to be ijiore imminent with Russia than nt present. But diploma cy has exercised its influence, and '1 in key by obtaining delays through counter propositions has gained sub stantiou advantages. Tho diflmcnecs now existing between Russia nnd the Porte can bo further modified and will be in the interest of tho latter. Iho disproportion in tho military povvor of tho contending Empires shows that if war resulted from the failure of negotiations that Russia might easily overrun the Christian provinces ot tho Sultan. But in that case it would be a barren victory, bo causo tho former would not be allow ed to retain territory sufficient to pay war expenses, and the goverment ol tho latter is toe poor to pay a money indemnity, In conquering Turkish territory Russia will not obtain what she desires. She wishes to secure an outlet from iho Black sea to the Med iterranean for her tleets, and tho no quisition of the territory that might be ncquiredby'an invasion will not ac complish that end. Nations oilier limn 1 in key liavo kept Russia ex uded Irom the Mediterranean, and ihe powers which participated in the Crimean war, and destioyed her great uin ul nt eeuale ami ilccvn uu OuV,. pol, have the fame moiives which op- rated then, to exclude her Roots now Irom thai sea by frco egress through the Dardanelles. In this contest tliu Turkish govern. ment hns perceived the true condition ot uflairs existing in the nuiioiis which have attempted to settle the Eastern liiestion, nnd has availed ilselt ot that knowldgu to ils fullest extent. Ger many, France, England nnd Austria desire the maintenance of peace. Their industrial interests would sutler by the derangement in the financial con- lilion that would follow war. Eng land and Franco are enjoying pros- erity; Germany has had enough war, and desires consolidation in her inter nal affairs, and the inauguration of systems to develop her commercial and manufacturing interests. The great bankers of.tho world prefer the maintenance of peace, and neither Riismii nor lurkey cou'J obtain loans from them to carry on an extensive or prolonged couiest. Senators ilavlsand Mbarou. Washington Correnpondence Chicago Inter- Uoean. Senalor Davis likes his old title of "Judge." better than his new titlo of "Sens' or." I approached him the other day and commenced a remark by saying, "Mr. Senator" He inter rupted me at once. "Call mo Judge," said be. "I have, been called Judge for Ihirty years since 1817, when I was first elecled to tho bench and I am too old a man to be rechristened." Although he had never mingled in timately with Senators and members of Congress while he has been on the bench, at once alter tits election to the Senate he formed intimacies with sev eral of his new colleagues, and every day you can see h.m chatting in the cloakrooms, or parading tbp floor arm in arm lovinizl i with to ioW' 'fiator, like freshman in college. ItvjTuite ludicrous to see him embrace STlui, ol Nevada, who is the smallest mail in ihe Senate. They look like tho pig my and the giant making love. frharon and Davis are both famous diners out. They are epicures, ami their winters in Washington are but a series of square meals. Sharon can mako a salad better than any man in the Senate except Anthony, and Da- v - la said to rank third in the an oi i the cuisine. They have been alternat ing between each other's tables nearly all winter.

"I started off very much crestfallen, nnd not liking the job before me. But I resolutely walked into tho Presi dent's kitchen. Tom was there. I saw my ham lying there with a few slices out of it, and seizing it. told Tom unless I o would undertake to see that the money was paid I must take it back. "Tom cogitated awhile, and then said: 'Young man, take bock your meat.
