Washington Gossip.
From the Washington Republic, July 26]
News to-day is almost as as dry spots in our
deuged city. The most industrious inqustion at all
the points where information is usually to be had re-
suited in an exceedingly brief chapter
California newspaper, received by the Treasury
cisco has found true bill of Indictment against Col
James Collier, first Collector at that port charging
him with having misapproprated some $500, 900 Of
expected to be found against I. Butler King, who
succeeded Colonel Collier, charging him with the
misapplication of about 100000
1t is not true, believe that the department has
received any official notification of the facts, or any
information on the subject except that contained in
the newspaper referred to. Some months since the
department sent out to San Francisco by the present
| Collector major Hammond) such evidence as it had
brought before the Grand Jury, if the evidence trans
mted, and such additional evidence was expected
to be obtained were deemed sufficient to procure the
indictments. This action of the department was
| kept profound secret until to-day.
Colonel Golfers accounts have never been adjusted
by the department.. He acknowledges having in his
pos ession moneys belonging to the United States,
but had steadily refused to pay them over until the
| department should allow him certain suspended
| items charged against him. From the first, how
ever, he declared his readiness to stand suit and
department preferred to take the more summary
method of q criminal prosecution, which will proba-
bly, end in smoke. Perhaps the prosecution in Mr..
Kings case rests upon similar basis.
Minister S0ule left the city to-day for New York
after final conference with the President this fore
noon.
John A. Cuthbert, Southern Rights man, has been
appointed live oak agent Of the government, for
Alabama.
John Tyssowsk, recently clerk in the Office of the
Register OF the Treasury has been appointed an
aminer in the Patent Office.
Isaac Rrdebangh. OF indiana, IS appointed to
clerkship in the Registers Office, to fill the vacancy
| occasioned by Mr. Tyssowskis promotion.
| Samuel York AtLce has been transferred from the
office of the Register of the Treasury to 81 500
clerksbip in the Sixth Auditors Office to fill the
vacancy occasoned by the resignation of Il. G. Muir
ply, appointed Consul at Shanghai. Mr. Murphy,
by the way, is from Ohio, and is spoken of as an
Washington in the spring, expecting to get consul
late, failing in which, he took clerlship, and in
time obtained the foreign appointment he sought.
