WASHINGTON, June Ii, 1915.

In common with all good citizens we are clad to
have II 10 communicate the public that the Presi-
dent is himself again. Subsequent to breakfast this
morning he took ride in his carriage accompa.
MED by that amiable and universally esteemed lady,
his wife ; after which he Immediately left in his
carriage again for business doubtless at the State
Department He looks pale and thin, but wears as
usual, that calm, open, and benign expression OF
countenance, which WINS the confidence and re-
spect of the stranger invariably and under all cir
cunlstances.
The trial of Captain Voorhees, is still protracted
Lieut.. Robert l.. Browning Enormously stated by
us yesterday as Robert Ed,) continued his testlmo-
ny from yesterday, In detailing the history of the
war between Uruguay and the Argentine confedera-
cy, the firing by the San Gala of the Argentine
squadron into the American barque Rosalva, and the
consequent capture by Capt. Voorhees, of the whole
OF the Argentine squadron. AT three O'Clock the
Board adjourned over to Monday, at halfpast ten
oclock-Lieut. Browning not having concluded his
testimony. As this witness was the First Leuten-
ant OF the Congress, and had the command to the
capture of the squadron aforesaid and was prvy to
the conversations upon the subject between Captain
Voorhees, and the Argentine commander, we shall
write out this evening full report of his evidence
to-day, and 10 the end, atording clear and par
tcular account OF all the proceedings ofCapt. Voor-
bees III the premises, and the circumstances, and
provocatlons governing his conduct under that gen.
eral charge OF dsObedIence of orders.
We hear, meantime, but can hardly accredit it as
being probable, that Mr. Secretary Bancroft is send
| ing privately 20 different subordinates of Captain
| Voorhees,, N this late cruize of the Congress- and
questioning them privately, as to the crimnality of
the captain alleged The esprit d,s corps would at
once dismiss the idea of such procedure 10 the con-
vlclion OF the accused, underhanded and cauiaye
| The u. $. Journal seems TO be out of humor at
losing, or not getting which is the same as losing
| certain public advertising. The "Young Democra-
cie'' must be rallied, the old 'uns gentlemen,
will ride over you, neck and heels.
| The Clerk of the House has contracted with Mr.
Haas, of this city, for the hographng of six plates
| for Lieut. Fremont's Rocky Mountain Report, at
less than $3.50 in the lump M. Dickens has the
work done tor the Senate, we were informed, with
out advertising for bids, and pays near twice the
money. This is small matter, bu, there is a very
| important principle OF economy connected with it.
The weather is comparatively cool and pleasant.
Music at the Presidents grounds this evening from
q O'Clock till sunset
So, after ALL Mr.. Collector Van Ness resigned
What do you call a resignation 7 His ought not 10
count. II would not count in law, because ii was
forced upon HIM against his consent. There is
report on foot that he is TO be concated by the mis-
sion TO Span-thc native country OF his beautiful con-
sort. But we don't know how that can be done. II
would cost the administration some trouble to keep
HIM there If the claims of other and more active can
didaes for Polk during the campaign, and for them
selves now, are taken into consideration. We think
the Governor had better make decent death of it.
There is nothing like resigning with dignity, Co
vernon, nothing
Yours, truly, OLD CAVE.
