From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-It is rumored that
Mr.. Ould, of the Richmond Examiner, who is
now III this city, has come here for the pur
pose of fighting duel with o. Jennings Wise,
of the Richmond Enquirer. The police are
on the alert.
Gov. Medary, of Kansas, gives the most
cheering accounts of the Kansas gold regions.
The farm crops this year are abundant, and
the prospects for good demand from the min
ers are fattering.
The government officer arrested for defalca-
ton, as mentioned Friday evening, is Major
French, pay clerk of the Bureau Of Construc
ton. Connected with the charge of defalca-
ton, is the additional one ofateraton of vouch-
crs. Major French is a graduate of West
Point He is held in $4,000 bail.
WASHINGTON, August 21.-The charge
against Major Edmond French, pay clerk of
bureau of construction of the Treasury depart
ment, for falsely making and forging certifi-
Gates and receipts for the purpose of obtaining
money from the United States, was followed
by his arrest, but not till after a consultation
between the Secretary of the Treasury, the So
lcitor of the Treasury, the District Attorney,
Mr. Guide and Major Bowman, and giving him
opportunity to explain the affair." 1t creates
much gossip The extent of the alleged de-
talcations is not aScertaned.
There is but little doubt that a convention
or treaty between the United States and MeXi-
co will soon be concluded and received here
from Minister McLane in September, in
which event Senior Ledo will return to New
York with view to conclude the pecuniary
arrangements already initiated by him, in
stead of first laying his plan before the Juarez
government as he originally intended. This
treaty will probably be confined mainly to the
q. S. transit over Mexican territory, with GER
tain privileges or exemption from customs
duties in that connection, together with pro-
visions for adequate means of protection.
Provision will be made for the satisfaction
of the American claims against Mexico.
Distinguished friends Of the Juarez govern
ment, including a number of Mexicans now
here, regard the latest Mexican news as addi-
tionally encouraging to the cause of the con-
sttutonaists, and speak of the excommunica-
ton of that party by the Archbishop OF Mex
leo as a harmless proceeding.
There is no foundation for the rumor that
the Secretary of War will resign his seat in
the Cabinet. He hopes soon to return TO the
performance of his official duties.
