The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1861-12-18
From Washington.

Washington December 1.-THE Select Com
mlttee OF the House to inquire into
Government contracts report that they have
examined 265 witnesses from different
parts Of the country, but that their labors are
far from being closed. The case Of the steamer
Cataline has been investigates and tho Com.
mittee state the provision of her purchase on
the terms that the Government should pay
800. 900 for vessel just purchased for SIS. 900,
in case of loss, is totally indefensible. Several
comments are made upon Heterogeneous be-
tween the Secretary OF Navy and Mr.. Morgan for
Pr rchasing vessels, the latter gentleman having
received since the 10th Of July last, the amount
Of $4,000 for his services II appears that the
Secretary and Mr.. Morgan are brothers .in-law,
which family connection is alluded to by the
Committee as not likely TO further tho economi-
cal interests OF the Government.
The committee also report that tho Govern
ment has been enormously swindled, In many
cases by prolessed loyal Americans, in the puf.
chase Of arms. And they congratulate the coun-
try that the purchase OF arms is now confined
TO single bureau, instead Of allowing Generals
Of Departments, or their agents, to speculate in
the market. Another source of loss has been
found in the contracts for provisions and sup
plies, these not having been advertised for when
wanted, as required by law. In the western
division Of the army the law has been almost
totally dlsregarded, and much loss has oc ,urred
In consequence. The committee also call at
tention TO case Of prostitution Of official posi-
ton TO the base purpose of illegal gain. A man
named Wood, enjoying the confidence Of the
lie Buildings, and frou his own declarations,
made himself an instrument for plundsring the
government, and resigned his position a. soon
a. no learned that his conduct was known. Ths

The Norfolk and Richmond papers give full
particulars Of the extensive cOnhagration in
Charleston, s. G..
The Dire broke out at about Q o'clock in the
evening OF the llth ms, in Russell 4 Old s sash
and blind factory, at the foot Of Hazel street
extending TO the machine shop of Cameron 4
Co. Before midnight the fire had assumed an
appalling magnitude, aud Meeting street, from
Market to Queen. was one mass of flame
As tenement after tenement was enveloped
In flames, the panic became awful, and thou J..
lands OF families evacuated their houses and
hlled the streets. The buildings In the lower
part Of the city, where the fire broke out, were
principally wood and extremely inhammlble,
which accounts for the remark ably rapid pro
gIess Of the fire. At midnight, the Circular
Church and Institute Hall were burning, and
the proximity Of the flames to the Charl aston
Hotel and the Mills House caused them TO be
evacuated by their inmates.
At one o'clock, the fire tended more south
ward, towards the corner of Archdale and q Ieen
streets, to the rear Of the Charleston Hotel, and
TO the end Of Hague street crossing Market
street, the fire spread down the East Bay to
Cumberland street. and across TO the Mills
House, including in its destruction the Circular
Church, Institute Hall and the Charleston Hotel.
AL the buildings on King street, from Cliff
ford nearly TO Broad were destroyed before 3
o'clock. General Ripley, who superlntended
the movements OF the troops, who arrived on the
the scene at about this time, ordered several
buildings on the route Of the conhagration to be
blown up. After some delay the order was exc
cuted, but not before the theatre, Lloyd's coach

ecntivs building, and all the houses from this
