WASHINGTON, May IL, lS49.-There is, accord
ing to what hear, no doubt of the fact of Major
Scots dealcatiOn, and the amount is stated to be
upwards Of $4,000. He has held the office for the
last fourteen years. and occupied high position in
the democratic party in this city. Speculations
have done the business for him, by one of which,
the United States Hotel here, of which he was the
principal proprietor, he has lost largely say

for this District, and his defalcaon concealed for
some time by a system of balancing his accounts
separately, drawing from the pension fund to square
ment of both being required together by the new
resignation. His successor has not yet been ap-
pointed, owing to the absence of the Secretary of
the Navy, who has been detained at home longer
than expected by the illness of his mother. The
prominent applicants are Gen. Roger c. Weight
man and George C. Washington IA connection OF
the " Father of his Country,) of this District, and
Robert Bowie of Maryland, a brother in law OF
Reverdy Johnson. We think it lies between the
two fore named Speaking of defalcatlons, am
reminded that have learned from unquestlonable
authority of an investigation now going on IN the
War Department, involving high officer OF that
Department in heavy frauds upon the Government,
by the obtaining of Land Warrants and extra pay
for heirs of deceased soldiers-which heirs do not
exist The system has been carried on in collusion
with some agent in New Orleans, and thousands
of dollars are charged to have been made by this
nefarious scheme. The name of the officer has
not transpired, but there is no doubt that the
charges have been prepared, and the investigation
entered into by the department

report recommending the Congress to refuse an ac-

o. A number of gentlemen of Boston, friends
Of Mr.. Macready, have given in the papers of that
aty-under their own names-a statement In his
behalf, in relation to the New York riots. His en-
ggement was made for four weeks, beginning on
the 7ih of May This was announced publicly for
ten days before that date, and during that time
Mr.. Macready did not receive from any quarter,
public or private, information or intimation that
his appearance would be the cause of any dissatIs-
faction-nor did any such thought enter his own
mind until he went on the stage on Monday eve
ming. The disturbances on that evening exhibited
such state of feeling that he gave up his engage
ment, and sent to have his passage taken in the
steamship America for England. He was induced
to change this determination by the letter of MIR.
Irving and the other gentlemen, urging him to re-
main; and by the assurances from all quarters
public and private, including the unanimous press
that there would be no disturbance on second
appearance. He yielded his own judgment; and
urged, as his opinion, that it would be prudent
to postpone the next performance for some eve
nings in order that the true state of the feeling III
relation to him and to Mr.. Forrest might be fully
known. His friends decided against him on thai
point too The results are too well known. The
case concludes thus:
Mr. Macready did not, either directly or nd
rectly take any steps whatever to cause his friends
10 be present at the theatre to encounter in any
way the opposition of those hostile to him, excep
by causing the documents already referred to, to bt
published. He simply submitted himself to Tho
wishes of his friends, as expressed in their letter
and to his own sense of the duty he owed to tn
citizens of New York and in doing so, the pubic
will Judge whether he ought to carry away WIFI
him from this country any other feeling than tina
which every humane man must have, when hi
hnds his name in any way connected with 81
