NEW YORK, Nov. GA Heraid's
Washington special says: The investi-
CATION going on by the Retrenchment
committee has developed facts which
implicate parties occupying high anu
influential positions under the Govern
ment in the cotton frauds. \ great
deal of fraud, more than at first suppos-
ed, has been practiced upon the Govern
ment and citizens of the South by the
cotton agents. 1t appears that these
accents were in the habit of contiscating
large amounts of cotton i'll the name OF
the Government, and after IL had re-
manned on their hands for short time
they would turn 1t over to an outside
narty. who sold il and divided the pro-
ceeds with the agent. Another game,
which was resorted to extensively by
these men, was To release the cotton on
the payment of n handsome bonus.
We have a report here that prominent
radicals had meeting III Philadelphia
on the both inst, at which articles OF
impeachment against the President
were prepared. They are to be submit
ted to caucus of Republican members
of Congress. The names of the parties
attending the caucus in Philadelphia
will be furnished i'll due time.
Official notice is given that the Presi-
dent will have no time 10 devote to
office seekers till after the meeting OF
Congress.
AT a conference between the Second
Comptroller and the Second Auditor, IN
relation TO bounty in cases of colored
troops, it was decided that the proof OF
freedom OF the 10th of April, lcGl,
should be no longer required, hut full
effect given the law of Congress APP
pointed June 18th, 1866, and the sol
diers accorded the benefit of the pre-
sumption. if the contrary did not appear
upon the muStcr-rolis, ANA the bountles
allowed, if otherwise, as entitled.
The Second Auditor has decided
that where discharged colorcd sol
diers have applied, or may apply,
to any Office for any arrears of pay not
paid on final discharge. or were proyi-
ded by the Act of July 22nd, lSbl. lie
will also allow in the settlement III such

BY the act of July, 1866, if such bounty
shall be-proved.

THE BEAR AND THE TEA-KETTLE.-The
bears of Kamschatka live chiefly on fish,
which they procure for themselves from
the rivers. A few years ago the fish be-
came very scarce. Emboldened by the
famine and consequent hunger, the
beurs, instead of retiring TO their dens,
wandered about, and sometimes entered
the villages. On certain occasion Que
of them found the outer door of house
open, and entering it, the gate acciden-

boiling water in the court. Bruin smelt
it, but burnt mis- nose. Provoked at the
pain, he vented all his fury on the tea
kettle. He folded his arms around it.
