A LAUNDERING ADMINISTRATIONS
BY our abstract Of Congressional pro-
ceedings. it will be seen that the blum
ders of this Administration continue to
the last, and that tho gross neglect
with which the concerns Of the nation
are transacted by its official functiona-
ries in the highest department Of the
Government, is indeed ofthe most shame
ful and reprehensible character. In
answer to call for any correspondence
which has passed between this Govern
ment and Foreign Governments, on the
subject Of foreign paupers, among other
matter, he communicated it appears,
scurrilous political article, copied from
the New York Truth Teller, a paper
devoted to the interests Of the Irish emf
grants in New York. This article con-
sisted of violent attack on the Wing
Common Council of that city, and Of
course contained nothing pertinent to
the inquiry. Upon an investigation, the
President disclaimed any intention to
censure the municipal authorities in that
city, and in the sequel it appeared that
this mischievous trick had been perpe-
trated by some wicked wag in subor-
dnato station, upon whom the President
had shifted the important duty Of fur
nishing to the House under tho official
sanction of the President Of The United
Siaies, the required information.
The following is one of the extracts
thus officially communicated -
\ From the N. Y. Truth Teller Of June gath, 1891.

ARRIVAL OF THE FRsNcu PRINcE.-The
French ships of war L'IIercule, Capt easy
and corvette Favorite, Capt Rosanal, from
the West Indies, and ten days from Havana
anchored in Hampton Roads OH Monday ol
last week.
The Norfolk Herald of Wednesday says
THE Prince de Joinvlle came up on Moii-
day evening in the steamboat Old Dominion
and put up at French's Hotel. The next
morning he proceeded, via the Portsmouth
and Roanoke Rail Road, on his northern tour
accompanied by the commander Of the Cor,
veue and another officer. We understand
he travels as private gentlemen. The ships
will wait here until his return, and in the
mean time take in provisions and stores pre-.
paratory to sailing for France. lie is accom-,
panied by his Abide Camp, Surgeon, ant
three French officers"

From the Charleston Courier Of May 81.
LATE FROM FLORIDA.

A letter to the editors, dated Black Creek,
May lG, says:
"An express arrived here day before yes
terday, stating that Alligator, who had been
sent out about Il month since by Gen. Taylor,
had returned with 3l7 Indians, men, women,
and children, and the impression is, that there
will be no more campaigning, as it is sup
posed that all Of the Indians will come in the
course of the summer. The John Mclean
has Just arrived here from Fort Mellon, which
post is to be broken up; that at Vo!usia is
already abandoned. The Mclean brings
soldiers, horses, boats, &c. The Charleston
is expected to-day from the same place"

CoNGREss.-A Washington letter
writer says Some idea may be had
Of the retarded state of Congressional
business, from the fact, that in the
House upwards of sepen hundred private
bills came up as the order Of the day
on Friday last. One hundred and fif-
teen public bills remain dormant in
Committee of the Whole on the State
Of the Union, most Of which demand
immediate action, and are Of the great
est importance.
1t is the general impression that the
present session will close on or before
the 18th day of July, so that only about
five weeks remain in which to debate
and decide on some Of the most critic al
measures that ever claimed the attcn-
ton of our National Legislature. II
we may judge from the past and pres
ent state Of party feeling, we are not
warranted in expecting much from this
short period.

In regard to the sufficicncy Of the
causes for tho detention Of the officers
and crew Of the French ship Alexandre,
at this port, (mentioned in our last, }
we are still without any positive infor-
nation. All We can say is, they yet
remain in prison, and we think will even
tually be sent back to France in one of
the Government ships expected hore.
They have not, however, been ordered
to Providence for examination before
Judge Pitman, as was stated in Satur-
days Mercury.
We have noticed in the New York
and Boston papers various statements
in relation to these individuals, some Of
which we are informed are very err
roneous in many respects.-For in
stance, "that Capt Marsand offered TO
sell his ship and cargo, cheap for cash,
Immediately on his arrival herc-that
he treated the collector and revenue
officers cavalierly and with marked
disrcspect, and that one Of the crew
stated that there had been foul play OH
board" &c. We know nothing re-
specting the truth or falsity Of these
statements, and from the little we have
as yet gathered touching the facts in
the case, are altogether unable to form
any opinion as to the result Of the in
vestigation instituted by Or. GouRAUD.

Correspondence Of the New York Gazette
WASHINGTON, May 26, 1893.

WASHINGTON, May 26, 1888.
The Prince de Joinville made his ap.
pearance at the Capitol, to-day with 8
number of French officers, and accom-
panied by M. Pontois, the French Min
ister, M. Pageot, and M. Montholm
The Prince is rather genteel looking
young man of nineteen-tall, and very
slender, pale-faced, with an apology
for mustachio on his upper lip. He
gave his princely attention to some
very profound and original disquisitions
on the currency from Mr.. Niles, whose
prom unciation and enunciation gave
him probably, at the same time, some
new ideas of the English tongue.
He had also the opportunity Of hear
ing Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, both toe
in a very current mood. He listened
with much apparent interest to thcil
"remarks, while Mr.. Pontois explained
to him the subject of debate, which was
Mr. Clay's resolution.

The young French Prince de Join
vile made his debut yesterday; 80 that

matter than did the Duke Of yelling

The town Of Boston was first lighted with
lamps about the year 1888. Three hundred
lamps were imported from England and gave
occasion to criticism by Nathan Byles. He

new lights had come over from England, and
