From Washington.

WASHINGTON, February l2.-The Dis
trict Supreme Court has rejected tho ap-
plication OF A. B. Magruder, Of Virginia,
to practice att its bar. Mr.. Magruder plead
that he believed his oath to his native
State was first in importance, and Judge
Carter decided that this belief was sufi-
cient to bar his admission even if there
were no test oath.
The Investigating Committee on the
Boston custom-house frauds, discover that
100000 duties were compromised for
100000, of which only $4,000 reached
the treasury. The committee says if
these things go unchecked the "whole
public service Of the country will be de-
bauched."
The Mexican Minister discredits the re-
ported defeat and capture Of President 1"
Juarez.
The Republicans are far from hopeful
of getting Elliott's bill through the Senate
in time to become law this session. 1t is
popular with them, and is considered an
initiatory step. They expect to apply it to
all the States.
Maori General Mower has been assigned
to bureau duty in Texas, vice General
Kiddo, removed to the Department of the
Lakes. General Jeff. G. Davis, Of the bu-
reau in Kentucky, has been relieved.

Eo7E REvIvEs.--It is not good to be too
.snsu;ne. because it adds to the bitterness
n disappointment if our anticipations are
no realized; but we cannot forbear ex-
n-csSing our qualification at the develop
men,s in the House of Representatives
during the last few days. The cheering
.g3isstious Of satisfactory settlement of
aur existing political difficulties are not
more apparent in the action Of the House
han in lis tone and temper shown during
lie debate. Thus il is manifest that while
here is no disposition on the part OF the
pepuhlican members, as body, to recede
rom their position Of demanding from the
south such guarantees as will secure to
me nation the full benefit Of victories
hardly won; yet great number Of them
are seriously anxious 10 effect restora-
ZION Of the Union, II 1t can be brought
,1,ut with safety, and without any sacri-
ice of honor or principle. Their perse-
yerance in the course indicated in Satur-
DAVIS debate will, we trust, result in the
adoption of some plan, Just in itself, salts
factory to the great majority of the people,
and acceptable 10 the Executive. That
such plan will meet the approval Of ex-
tremistS in either section is not to be ex-
pectcd, but the great mass Of the people
viii hail it as means of escape from the
pcrilS which threaten to eliminate in q
change of our whole system of govern
meut, with what result no one can foresee.
II j, time for sturdy, intelligent patriotism,
srm and wise in action, and not for party
nanUuvres and political trickery, which,
tontemptible at any time, are criminal at
! period when issues of such magnitude
sic impending. Washington Star.

SURRATT.-No information has yet been
received at the Navy Department from the
steamer. Swatara with Surrat, the conspi-
rator, on board. 1t will be remembered
that the Swatara sailed for home on the
slh Of January, and it was then thought
she would reach here by the LIST of Febru-
ary, if she should make the trip under
steam. No doubt the cause Of her nom
arrival is that it was necessary for her to
come a great portion the distance under
sail. Being a third-rate steamer, she can
carry but q small quantity Of coal, and her
commander not wishing to stop at any
ports, it is very probable that he uses sail
whenever the weather permits. 1t may be
8 week or two yet before her arrival. AS
before stated, she will come Immediately
to the Washington nayy-yard, should the
river permit, and the prisoner will be hand
ed over to Marshal Gooding for safe keep
ing until the trial. 1t is not improbable
that the Swatara may be used for the
prison-ship should the Jail not be deemed
sufficiently secure.-Stdr.

The POTONAC AT WAsHINGToN.-Our
latest advices from the Long Bridge are to
the effect that everything in regard to that
structure remains apparently as it did
yesterday. The ice remains gorged above
the bridge and in this connection we hear
il stated that the probabilities are very
strong that the channel of the river is
likely TO he changed to the Washington
side. The ice has become so thoroughly
ammed in in the south channel that al
most the entire current is now going
through what is generally termed the
"Swashn channel. Should the main chan
mel become thus diverted, it will give to
Washington an advantage which it would
otherwise have taken hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to accomplish, and that,
too, without any outlay beyond the repair
Of the bridge.-Alecandria Journal.

That able and eminent divine, Rev. DR..
Jeter, of Richmond, has been sojourning
among us for some days. We regret to
hear that his health is not good, but hope
and believe that his indisposition is of a
temporary nature. He attempted to preach
in the Baptist church Sunday morning, but
was compelled to stop before his sermon
was concluded. A little rest will doubt
less enable him to resume his important
labors.- Charlottesville Chronicle.

Two LOVERS MIssING.-The Sacramento

(California) Union relates the Following:
The police are investigating peculiar
case. Two well-known citizens were pay
ing attentions to the same lady, and she
finally accepted and agreed to marry one
of them on Christmas day. After the en-
gagement the unfortunate sutton still con-
tinued his visits as friend of the family
until within day or two of the time fixed
for the wedding, when the accepted sutton
mentioned to the lady that he did not like
something in the conduct of his rival, and
therefore did not desire him to be invited
to the wedding. On Christmas the bride
groom did not appear to be married, and
it now turns out that the rivals rode out
together on the day previous, since which
neither has been seen. 1t is feared that
there has been foul play in the matter.

THE RIVER FROZEN UP AoArN-THE
SrEAMERs BELow.-The steamer Keyport,
Captain Hollingshead, Of the AQUA Greek
line, which left her wharf about l O'Clock
on Saturday, returned about I O'Clock last
evening, having made her way to Aqua
creek. The trip down was made in about
FIVE hours, and she found the ice most
troublesome between her wharf and Gies-
boro'. Below Quantico creek there was
some drift ice, and about Fort Washing
ton some little trouble was experienced.
The Report saw the steamers Ascutney
ithe ordnance boat Of the navy-yard) and
the +. C. knight (the pioneer steamer Of
the new line) safely harbored in Quantico
creek, where there Is no danger from the
ice. The Keyport left Aqua creek at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, and found on
her upward trip the ice very bad In places,
on Saturday night, 1t being frozen hard,
and was slightly damaged. The officers
are Of the opinion that the pack at the
mouth Of the Eastern branch is gorged
from the bottom, and this morning it is q
greater barrier to travel than it has yet
been-the tugs from Alexandria, with
passengers from the South, after repeated
efforts to get through it and failing-re-
turning to Alexandria.-Star.
