We are informed that the report Of the Pot
ter Investigating Committee on the loyalty of
Government employees, will show that Adju-
1ant-eienerA Thomas recommended and &C.
cured the appointment Of large number Of
residents of Georgetown, Of well-known Sc
eeesion sympathics and procliyities, among
whom is one Paymastcr in the army, one Lieu
tenant, and nine commissioned officers, Of va
rious grades. He also filled up a blank COM
mission, which he gave to his daughter for a
friend Of hers.
The resolution introduced By the Hon. E.
Mcpherson, to inquire into tile contracts which
had been awarded for the board Of disabled
horses during the winter, has shown that in
the instance referred to in the report Of Gene
raI Mcigs, Colonel Ruckcrllad madea contract
with George Ramsden to feed them Il pounds
Of oats per day at 20 cents per week. Rucker
alleges that this high price was paid because
the contractor was an honest man, and it was
better to pay fair price, and be certain that
the horses were well cared for, than to Let them
to some one that would starve them
Unfortunately, however, for this well meant
tor had rc-let them at twenty-five cents per
head, and stipulated that they were to have
but eight pounds Of oats per day, instead Of
twelve. A1r. Mcpherson S resolution, however,
has almost entirely broken up these specula-
tions, which, in this one line, would have rob-
bed the treasury Of tens Of thousands Of dol
lars before spring.
The illness Of Mr. H1cKdAs, which has pre-
vented him from attending the sessions of the
Judiciary Committee, has delayed the exam-
lDation into the censorship exercised at the
telegraph over the Press. It is thought
that he will be able to attend the meetings
next week, when the matter viii be thorough
ly eifted, and the report will at once be made
to the House Of the alleged arbitrary censor.
ship OF political dispatches.
There is no use Of endeavoring to conceal
the fact that the smnll pox is spreading in this
vicinity. The army is free from it, but the
citizens are attacked, Fortunately, as yet,
hut few fatal cases are known to hare taken
place The city authorities should at once
take such precautionary measures as are neces-
sary to prevent its further spread.

New York Custom House-Chase after
trenchment-Rcduc ofSa1arles.

From the n. 7. Herald 1eth1
The employees Of the Custom House were
thrown into q high state Of excitement last
Saturday By the removal OF q large number Of
the clerks. The process Of decapitation has
been rather slow of late, the Collector not
having made any considerable change in his
force for six weeks or two months. Last
Saturday, however, the orders arrived from
Washington to dispense with the services Of
al ofthat class Of employees called tsmarkcrs."
These are clerks who held inferior positions in
the public warehouses; some Of them, how
ever, had been transferred to other positions,
several acting as messengers in the Custom
House. In accordance with the orders Of the
Treasury Department, the letters Of dismissal
we're served on about eighty of the clerks des-
lgnated above. The removal Of these clerks
YVES not for any political cause, but was one of
the steps Of retrcnchment adopted by the Ad-
ministration. As the clerks removed received
q compensation Of $3.50 each, the amount thus
saved to the treasury is about 5o,O0O. In ad-
dition to this step Of retrenchment, another
was taken in reducing the salaries Of some Of
the officials few Of whom had their salaries
reduced from 81, 500 to 81 200 per annu1n. It
is Tumored that this is but commencement,
and that ere long more clerkships will be
abolished

OF State upon the subject Of the advantages

can EXTINCTION, and negroes found on board
vessels captured by onr cruisers. The island,
he says, has been checked in progress for
Esnt ct manual labor, and he fuv.t4s the
United Sta1cs to enter into convention
whereby the contemplated migration 1nay be
placed under the Protection 1nd guarantee OF
the two governments.
Tile Governor OF the Danish West Indies
has also appointed special agent, who has
arrived In this country to make the necessary
arrangements. Free transportation is offered
to all who will engage to labor On the sugar

taEy Sesard, replying, says that he is not au~

captured Africans is now prescribed ny

gtes may be disposed SO to modify the exist

has submitted copies OF the corrcsp ondenee
