Items from Washington.

The Postmaster Generals report
viii this year show deficiency, in
stead OF a small surplus. This is caus-
ed by the e-opening of many South
ern routes and Offices.
1t seems likely that Secretary Sew
ard viii shortly make another large
real estate investment for the Govern
ment. An agent of Denmark is here
for the purpose of negotiating for the
sale of the West India possessions of
that country. The price asked is the
moderate sum of fifteen million dol
lars in Gold It is said the Secretary
offeres one-half that amount.
Washington has been partially in
undated with boasts of local politici-
ans from towns and cities in States
where the Democrats have been sue
cessful i'll the recent elections. They
were clamerous at the Treasury and
Post Office Departments on Monday,
for official fayors, and were quite nu-
merous at the White House tonight.
There have been diligent inquiries to-
day in official circles to learn if the re-
iterated story is true that Collector
Smythe of New York has been tender
ed the Secretaryship of the Treasury
The President furnished an unquali-
fed contradiction to it,
1t will be remembered that Col
James Belger, one of the few officers
of the old army promted from the
ranks, was tried by court-martial in
1868 on charges of fraudulent trans
actions while he was Chief Quarter
master at Baltimore. The Court hon
orably acquitted him, but Secretary
Stanton set the yirdict aside and dis
honorably dismissed him from the ar.
nay. Since then many prominent citi
zens, among them Generals Dix
Wool and Banks, Senator Wilson and
Gov. Geary, have petitioned to have
this order revoked, aud on Monday the
President confirmed the decision of the
Court and restored Col. Belger TO hi,
position in the army.

The PEDESTRIAN MATCH. - Mr. Wes-
ton, week before last, set out to walk,
on a wager of $4,000, from Portland
to Chicago, a distance of 1926 miles,
in thirty days. He reached Dedham
on Friday the I'd inst, and from that
point set out to walk one hundred
miles in twenty-four hours, Ia part of
the wager but broke down at Plain
field, Conn. He reached Syracuse, n.
Y, on the morning of the 18th inst,
and was Is hours ahead of time. Some
of the papers say that there is strong
probability that the pedestrian occas-
sionally rides in the night. The Prov
idence Post more than intimates that
weston is in league with one or more
parties who have staked large sums Of
money against his accomplishing the
one hundred mile feat, and that he will
receive more money by failing in il
than he would otherwise. One rumoi
is that John Morrissey has made be
of 100000 that Weston would not dc
it, and that he is to give Weston 500,
600 in order that he may win $50 600
There are strong evidences that h
might have made the one hundre'
miles either in the first or second tria
if he had been so disposed" We hop
these rumors will prove false, and tina
Weston will come out of the contes
honorably, whether successful or 9th
erwise.

THE VERMONT TRANSCRIPT.

The meeting was very pleasant
and harmonious one. Mr.. Walton, ms
the oldest editor in the State, very
properly takes the head of the Associa-
ton, and the other officers will un-
doubtedly prove capable and efficient
In fact, the only embarrassment in the
choice of officers arose from the num-
Der of good names for every place.

this place about twenty -five years ago, then
a=young man Of about 81. lie was engaged
Ter many years in the building business,
being stone mason by trade, and in all his
intercourse with his fellow citizens in every
capacity, he won the esteem and friendship
Of all who knew him. He was twice chosen
by the people of this District to represent
them in the Assembly of our State, and his
record as legislator, like that of every
other position he held, either in civil or
religious capacity, was without bIemish
As Preacher IN the Primitive Methodist
Church, bis counsels were we'll regarded by
his brethren, and his example worthy of
Imitation. Having accumulated a hand

his former occupation, for Il few years past
IN connection with his lifelong partner
Mr. PHILIP 4LLES-he had been engaged in
the Grocery and Provision trade, where, as
every where else, he retained the esteem of
all who knew him. Mr. ToAY's age was
about IS years and months His remains
we're consigned to the last resting place on
Sunday afternoon-the funeral being the
largest ever held in this city. He was
buried by the Good Templars, of which Or
der he was the Chief officer in this city. a
