Probably no population ever suffered the
same amount of systematic misrepresentation
that the citizens of Washington have at the
hands Of the advocates of negro suffrage, who
in their vehement zeal to accomplish their end
stick at nothing in the way of unscrupulous
untruth to put this community in a false posi-
ton. A labored effort has been made to show
that the colored population of the District fur
nished an undue proportion of the troops raised
here during the rebellion, thereby to demon
strate the superior patriotism of the negroes,
and to afford an argument why of all commu-
mites in the country the whites of this District
should be selected for the experiment of social
degradation through enforced negro equal
ity. To this end the most fragrant
misstatements have been put forth and have
been accepted unwittingly by the press of the
country as the real facts in the case. The as
founding allegations have been made through
petitions to Congress, and otherwise, that out
of population of eighteen or twenty thousand
the negroes of the District furnished a fighting
force of six thousand, and that the whites, out
of a population of sixty thousand, furnished
only eighteen hundred And the Chronicle only
a few days ago put in loaded editorial type, en-
dorsed as s:fdcts and figures" a statement that
three regiments of colored troops had been or
ganiZed here with a total of 3,549 men, and the
article after further clarifying the numbers
and services of the black troops proceeded in a
style OF remark exceedingly derogatory to the
white troops of the District.
We have taken some pains to ascertain the
exact facts in the case, in order to present them
for the consideration of persons of candor who
wish to deal fairly by us in the premises
From the Mayor we obtain the following Of
fetal data:
The whole number of men credited 10 the
District of Columbia during the rebellion WAS
1852, of whom 1i239 were whites, and 2633
were colored. Ofthe colored, ,O51 were yolun
teers, 421 drafted men, 1,161 substitutes-total.
2,633.
We commend these official figures to the at
tention of all who may have been biased by the
false statements alluded to, and especially ask
it's consideration by our brethren of the press
who have been thus misled. Ii will be seen
that while nearly 1000 white troops were
raised here, but 1858 colored troops were pro-
duced, and that of that number /, 161, or nearly
halt of the colored total, went in as substitutes
for whites

PROPOSED ABOLITION OF THE PAY DEPARr-
NENT OF THE ARMY.-It is understood that in
the increase and reorganization of the regular
army, soon to come before Congress for its ac-
ton, the adjustment OF the Pay Department
will be one Of the changes considered No
such special officers are known in the princi-
pal permanent armies Of Europe, and yet the
officers and men Of those armies are regularly
paid by officers OF their respective regiments
posed that Captains of companies will draw
the necessary funds from the Post q uarter-
master or Commissary, and pay the men at the
end of every month, under the immediate su =
peryisioH OF the commanding officer, Off GERS to
draw from nearest COmmissary on pay ac-
counts the same as to-day from Paymasters
This prompt and monthly settlement, il is ar
gued, Will be more acceptable TO the men, who
are now compelled 10 wait two, four, and six
months before receiving their pay, besides be-
ing yearly saving TO the Government of a
large amount. IL is proposed TO transfer the
Paymasters TO the new regiments about TO be

greeted the Irving Lyceum last night at the
Council Chamber, City Hall, on the occasion
of the fourth public entertainment We noticed
among those present many Of our most promi-
ested in the proceedings, as did all others
present. The exercises consisted of two orations
by Messrs. AlonZo Bell and A. &. Townsend,
and a debate on the question, s'Whether the
influences which aid to perpetuate are stronger
than those which tend to dissolve the Union. -
The orations were Of marked ability, and the
debate was conducted in a most satisfactory
manner. These exercises We're interspersed
with instrumental and vocal music by some of
our most distinguished Washington artistes
In this entertainment the society did itself great
credit. All present seemed highly pleased.
We would state that this popular organization
meets every Friday evening at the Council
Chamber, City Hail. and the public is always
welcomed.
