From w ashingtOn.

WASHINGTON, October 3.
Although the bids for the army transporta-
ton have been opened, it is understood that
no contracts will be made for some days.
The Department will especially take care
that the troops in Utah shall be promptly
supplied.
It was stated in the advertisement inviting
proposals that the right would be reserved Of
rejecting any or all the bids which might be
offered, and this, it is presumed, was in view
of the fact that some might be SO low as not to
insure a compliance with the public demands.
The new Commissioner of the Land Office, an
ex- member Of Congress from Tennessee, will
enter upon his duties next week.
The President will leave Washington to-
morrow or Wednesday for Wheatland, for q
brief sojoun.
Mr.. Lisbon was, to-day, formally received
by the President as Minister from Brazil.
The Postmaster General has returned and
resumed his duties.
Additional reports have reached this city
from respectable sources, of contemplated
fllibustering invasion Of Central America. II
it shall appear that an expedition for this pur-
pose is in progress, every means will be taken
to intercept it. The orders heretofore issued
by this Government on that subject are in full
force,

Charges Against Councilmen.

Honor is net to be sported with. Rumors
are current of charges of bribery, in reference
to some designated members Of Council, which
should be at once Investigated by the Honor
able body, of which the reputed offending per-
sons are members. A mans honesty, it is
said, is the only commodity whose true value
is exactly the price at which the owner rates
it. We should like to know at what tariff
members of the City Council, If any of them,
part with the article-rate their honor. We
are not of those who delight in distinguishing
great characters by their faults alone, or in
tracing an eagles fight only by its earthly
shadow--that's a groveling taste; but it is
due to the public to have calumny silenced, for
the bold monster fears not to wound the fame
of princes, if it find but only blemish to
work on.

Washington Correspondence.

.... New YORK, 0ctober3.
The Heralds Washington correspondent
says: "Bids for the transportation of supplies
to the army in Utah and New Mexico were
opened at the War Department on Saturday.
The Secretary of War being absent, the Presi-
dent deemed it of sufficient importance to 90 to
the Department and have the bids opened and
registered before him. This unexpected step
on the part of the President created some sur
prise. 1t appears the old contractors, Messrs.
Majors, Russell & Co. will not obtain any one
of the three contracts, other bids being lower.
It is understood that the bid of A, G. Irving
& Co. will take the Utah contract at 81 "a per
pound per one hundred miles. The old con-
tract was 81 80. Il is is said the bids Of
Messrs. Childs Il Scott will take the two con-
tracts for New Mexico. The magnitude of
these contracts may be Judged from the fact
that the amount of the U tab contract the first
year was over 800, 200, 900.
Orders have been sent from the Navy De-
partment for the return of the United States
steamer Wabash, the flag ship of the Mediter-
ranean squadron. The flag. officer will turn
over the command of the squadron to Captain
Leoy, now in command of the Macedonian.

Scientific Research.

The rapid race in the line Of bogus examina-

of a parapatetic philosopher who made tour
Of observation down the Ohio river, many

Wheeling, Virginia, to Henderson, Kentucky,
in askia, as fast as two men could row him.
During that journey he discovered from one

This is a nosiy and dangerous adjunct to
"stump speaking" No doubt, point blank
shots are made by them in convincing scep-

vote, but sick people and persons whose

posed to all such instrumentalities. Let the
practice be discouraged by the people and the
