Mr.. Reverdy johnson has published card
in relation to some asperslons upon his official
conduct whilst acting recently as e. S. Com
missioner in New Orleans, contained Ia paper
in that city. It seems the public are to lave
some developments from that quarter also
Mr.. johnson is sharp and severe He says
''Unless the almost universal belief Of GEN
tlemen Of intelligence and integrity in the citv
having every means of knowledge be WHOLLY
unfounded, and the reports Of officers of the
highest character in the service Of the Govern
ment, who have officially visited the city since
it has been in the possession of the military
be also wholly unfounded, state Of fraud and
corruption exist there that is without parallel
in the past history Of the country
That Major General Butler is cognizant q it,
or would approve Of it if he was, is not for a
moment to be believed But if he will exert
the acuteness AID energy which have hereto
fore had different direction into the inyest-
cation Of the conduct Of some of those around
him, he will soon discover that the people Of
New Orleans, since they have been under his
sway, have been perhaps as much slnned against
as shining; and he will also discover why it is
that an officer who acted under the immediate
commission of the President, and whose whole
course after full examinations has received his
decided APPROVAL and who not to disparage
the Major General, and without subiecting
himself even to a suspicion Of self aduation,
may claim to be his equal in intelligence, poit
ical integrity, and personal honor, is assailed
by some Of the persons connected with orunder
his command.
'They cannot but know that their aspersions
are utterly false Growing rich themselves on
the necessities of the helpless people around
them, by extortions Of 1nsive even to deconcy,
they seem evidently to be under the appreher-
sion that the Commissioner report, or the
knowledge which they fear he may possess Of
their conduct, may not only be used to put an
ED to their career of plumber: but to subject
them to the punishment due to their misdeeds.

OF regard Their statements cannot obtain
credit with gentlemen who ever see in vulgar
scurrility want of moral character and prone

deems it due to the cause Of truth, to the con
fdence reposed in him By the President: and to
the information Of the pu|,!ic who have an y

should be, at the earliest momeat exposed amt

THE EMANCIPATION COMMfssION.-le s

dav. the case of Mrs Summers who claims
Ll1cv Jackson, was before the Board. This IS
= case where the slave came to the District
from Virginia before the passage Of the eman-
cipation act. and could not return owing to the
occupation Of her owners house by the Con
federates. Testimony was taken in the case;
but no decision made IN the case
The case of Jacob G. Smoot, Of Lewinsyiile,
Virginia, who presents claims for seven slaves
was taken up. He was examined On the ques
ton of loyalty He admitted that he voted
for secession; that he did it Of his own free
will There was no compulsion at the polls in
his precint no armed men; the people were
free to vote as they saw it, But he did not
anticipate q separation OF the State. He
thought this course on the part Of the voters
Of Virginia would lead more directly to set
tlemento of the difficulty But he took the oath
of allegiance which oath he exhibited. 1t was
takenb by Gen Van Vleit's order, before whom
he had an account for damages done to his
property by Uuion soldiers He willingly took
the oath when offered by Gen. Van Welt. lie
admitted that when it was offered at his home
by the officers who we're taking testimony as
to the amount of damage to his property, he
hesitated and put the matter IF day or two
for consideration He considered it his duty
to stand by his property. No decision was
made on his case.
The Z. S. War Department has caused the
arrest Of Major Spaulding, Of the 50th New
York (engineer) volunteers, and the other Off
GERS who were with him in the recent transport
tation of the pontoon train from Washington
to Falmouth, Va It is alleged that Major 5.
started with the train two and half days later
than he should have started, and was five days
on the road.
It now appears that four companies-not
two, as stated before-of the Sd Pennsylya
MA cavalry were made prisoners. Out of the
four companies only twenty-five men escaped
five commissioned officers fell into the hands of
the Confederates.
B. II. Garner. of Milestown: St. Mary CO.,
Nd, has been arrested BY the Potomac fotilla,
on the charge of forwarding goods south from a
wharf near the mouth of Wicomico bay. He
has been committed to the Old Capitol prison.
The residence Of Rev Henry Ward Deecher,
in New York, was visited few nights since by
some unknown person, who daubed the brown
stone front with foul black substance, and
smeared not only the stone work but the win
do@s. From appearances, it is evident that
the substance was dashed against the building
with small pail OF raint-pot: and then brush
cd about so as to cover great space as pos
sible. The house is very much disfgured, and
