From the States Of yesterday
The "RUTHLEss PRESCRIPTION I've yester-
day, on the authority of gentleman of unques-
tionable veracity, published an article, headed
" Ruthless Prescription charging Messrs
Thompson Il Co, with discharging from work
several men who would not vote in accordance
with their wishes
Messrs. Thompson & Co. this morning called
on us to say that we have been msled; that there
is no foundation whatever for the statement
They furthermore state that they have not had in
their employment man named Thos Griffin
Being determined to do no one an Injustice we
give those gentlemen the full benefit Of the dis
claimer We think, with the present light before
US, that this incongruty of statement arises from
the fact that our Informant may have been misled
by Mr.. Griffin.
The statement as to their connection with Gov
eminent patronage was not made from any knowl-
edge of our own, but from the general rUmor about
the city. The Messrs. Thompson 4 Co, in this
connection publish the following

Yesterday morning, the officers of the Embassy,
accompanied by the Naval Committee visited
the u. Patent Office, and the offices Of the u
. Coast Survey. They remained sometime at
both places, viewing the various objects of inter
est, and seemed very much pleased with their
visit. They were received by the officials at
either of these departments of the Government
with great kindness. and had every attention.
shown them. At the latter place they were IRE.
sented with various descriptions of maps and
other gifts. They expressed themselves very
grateful for these presents, and We're especially
pleased with the maps, which they seem 10 nri 70
above almost everything else 1t was the intan-
tOn OF the Committee TO have had them visit the
smithsonian Institution, where Prof Henry had
made arrangements for their reception; but tbev
could not be prevailed to accept the invita-
ton. They have not the least inclination 10 90

and IL is with great difficulty that the Committee
can induce them to visit even our most prOmi-
nent places. They have no curiosity to see any
thing, but are apparently most contented when

or writing. They express a strong desire to re.
turn home immediately-this however Is the
only with the officers, for in nothing do the
attendants take more delight than in walking
through our principal thoroug hfares, and closely
examining and making inquiries with regard TO
the various objects which may strike their fancy
1t is the purpose of the commission having the
Embassy in charge TO have them leave this CITY
about the 5th OF the present month. The follow.
ing Is the programme Of their journey through
the country, prior to their departure for Japan:
They will leave Washington for Baltimore on the
5th Of June, lnext Tuesday, and leave on the 9th
arriving at Philadelphia on the 18th. They will
leave Philadelphia on the 18th for Niagara arriv-
Ing there on the 18th, and at Albany on the l4th.
Arrive at Boston on the 18th, and leave on the 18Th
for New York, where they will remain from the
both to the Both inst. From Buffalo they will
make trip on Lake Erie.
AS there is no probability that the steamship
Niagara will be ready for sea before the 9TH OF
July, they VIII arrive at New York with time TO
spare, should there be no change in the above
programme. Some of the japanese are learning
the daguerreotyPe business at Bradys Gallery,
and are apt scholars. Yesterday the ambassadors
were presented with three packages of tobacco by

ALEXANDRIA MATTERS. The personal rem
counter which took place yesterday between Dr.

OF which appeared in our telegraphic column.

The Immediate cause Of the difficulty is not
known, but 1t appears that young Brent armed
with an ordinary sheath knife, proceeded to the
Doctors dwelling and made an attack upon him,
whereupon the Doctor fred upon his s-sailant,
the ball from his pistol taking effect in Young
Brents arm. This did not intimidate him, how
ever, and In moment changing the knife 10 the
other hand, he made another attack upon the
Doctor, whereupon second shot was fred. which
took effect In Brent's side, and third entered
his face In the region Of the cheek bone, the ball
glancing. Brent fell, and the firing was discon-
tinued. The wounded man was removed TO the
drug store Of Mr. r. H. Stabler, where medical
assistance was procured, and after dressing his
wounds the patient was sent home in carr}ape
The wounds are quite severe, but no serious
result Is apprehended
An investigation was had by Mayor Price ves
terday afternoon and resulted In the acouittal of
DIR. Lewis, on the ground that the act was com
mitted in self defence.
