WASHINGTON, July IL, 1874.
You will discover from the letter of your report
er IN the case, that the trial of c. J. McNuty, late
clerk of the House, for embezzement of the public
moneys, has been suspended until the December
term, after the surrender of the first of the six in
dictments by the prosecution. The absence of Sc
veral material witnesses on the remaining five eau
ses, was the ground upon which the prosecution
asked postponement of several days, and upon
which the trial has been continued. The triumph
result for the accused, upon the indictment with
drawn, will have favorable effect meantime for
the prisoner and the intervening time before the re-
sumption Of the trial, will give him ample opportu-
nifty for recalling collecting such deposits or dis
bursements, as may not be beyond his power OF re-
demption We hope, indeed, that he will be able TO
ask a clean receipt and discharge in full of all de-
mands before the trial shall be resumed.
AT meeting last night of the Senior Democratic
Association of this city, of which John c. Rives is
President, resolutions were offered under the direc
tons Of Maj Williams, late private secretary of the
President, pro. tenn, approving the course Of the
Presidentin the dismissal of Major Lewis second
Auditor There was full meeting, and the resolu-
lions by decisive vote were lald upon the table
II was urged that the resolutions were called for to
counteract the effects OF Major Lewis operations

August elections. But that appeal is of no avail
The Executive, 1t was alleged on the other hand,
had wilfuy neglected the Democrats Of the Associa
ton in the distribution of his patronage and they
were not disposed to become the tools OF Cabinet
who had SO fagtiousy set aside their claims. The
| only conclusion of consequence to be drawn from
this proceeding is, that IN every quarter the Presi
dent stands the hagard OF desertion; and that IN
this state of affairs firm Jaeksonian policy upon
the Oregon question is absolutely necessary to the
salvation of the Administration The Wing presses
are of this, in their attempt to beguie the
Cabinet into compromise.
Two clerks, as We learn, recently removed from
the Land Office, have been relnstated, Mr.. Bestor
and Mr.. Henry satisfactory evidence having been
furnished Of their being good men and true, and
what is better, it is said the lady dowagers had no.

Prince Georges, but from Charles the next county

1t is broadly very broadly asserted that Mr.. Dick
ems, Secretary of the Senate, wlthhods his vouch-
| ers OF the pay to Senators at the late Executive
Session for imaginary journies home and back,
in order to propltlate the recipients against the
election for Secretary at the next session -
because, forsooth, if the vouchers are placed IN the
Treasury Department, they will be at the command
of the reporters of the public press, and will afford
official evidence of the exra-extraordlnary mileages
of Messrs Dickinson, Barrow, Bagby and others.

The President and his family are all safely back
into the White House again. TIL re Is no resi-
dence, perhaps, in the Union comprising SO
many advantages of an open space, trees and
gardens an elevated and airy location, and of such
a magnificent Southern landscape, stretching as
does the view down the Potomac for Nv enty mlles,)
as the White House at Washington. The very sight
OF it is enough excite the strongest aspirations tor
the Presidency, and residence in it has never failed
TO suggest the comforts and conveniences of sec
ond term, despite all the vexatlons and perpexities
inflicted by the Office seekers
