Washington correspondent says there is quite
commotion among the especial friends Of the
Administration, in regard TO the charges pre-
ferred against Charles n. PTne, u ). Marshal
for the Northern District of Illinois, by Mr.
Martin, his bookkeeper. Martin has hled with
the Department of the Interior charges against
Pyne Of malfesance in Office, iniSapphcation OF
public monies, and violation Of the sub-treasuFy
law by making his deposits in banks instead Of
the sub,treaSury, and With paying the expenses
Of the q. 5. Courts in uncurrent and deprecated
paper of the banks of Missouri and other West
ern States, instead Of in gold and silver. lie
also produced q transcript from the books,
showing that in less than four months Pyne
has drawn from the public fonds and applied to
his private purposes more than $I,2OO, while
the limit of his salary for whole year, by law,
Is but Sc 600. The charges are made directly
and uneauivOcally, with specifications under
each head, and we understand they are sworn
to by Martin as being true of his own personal
knowledge, and accompanied by an offer on his
part to prove every one OF them by the tesil-
mony of other persons.
1t is said tina; when these charges were made
known to the President, he replied that be did
not see how he could do anything with them at
present for the reason that 10 remove Pyne II
would seem TO be Il confession of the truth OF
what Judge Douglas had said in regard to the
character Of some OF the public officers IN lltl-
nois; and the Chicago Herald, buchanan eS-
pecisl organ, would be discontinued, that paper
being edited by Pyne, and supported by the
Marshal's Office. The subject is nov before the
Cabinet for investigation. 1t is probable that
no removal will be made or steps taken curing
this session, for the reasons suggested by the
President 1t is understood that if Pyne is not
removed Martin will publish the charges and
specifications, with the proof The United
States officials at Chicago all take sides in the
an .rtn sd and
other.
