ioent ~ investigating charges against Com
missioner Rollins, and that several grave
Charges have been preferred against that
officer. is without any foundation. No
charges against Mr.. Rollins are before the Pres
ident. Several days ago a disappointed ONCE.
seeker made accusations against Mr.. Rollins
TO the President, but the President simply re-
phed if he knew Of any unlawful acts on the
part OF fhe Commissioner the proper place to
report them was at the office OF the Inter-
nal Revenue Solicitor. The President de.
clares that he has no occasion whatever
Tor suspicion of Mr.. Rollins, but believes
him to be honest and upright and his
motive in removing him from office was
not based on any want OF confidence in his
integrity. Mr.. Binckiey, the sLlicitor Of the
Internal Revenue Department., has not re.
ceived from the President any instructions to
hunt mp charges against Commissioner Rol-
lins, and the visit Of the Solicitor TO
New York was prompted by information
received that certain frauds on the,
Department were being perpetrated in that
city, hence it was his duty to investigate such
frauds. Several Of the personal enemies OF
commissioner Rollins are doing all in their
power to trump up charges against him. and 1t
is said that these persons are the cause of all
the accusations againt the Commissioner.
THAT MANIFESTO NERDEp-The result of
the election in Vermont will doubtless canse
the Democratic leaders TO hurry up the pro.
mitigation of the Rosecrans manifesto. 1t is
evident that the Northern people have taken
the alarm from the infiammatory utterances Of
Forrest, Toombe, Cobb, and other Southern
leaders. The Rosecrans manifesto, designed to
show that 1t Is all mistake, and that Forrest,
Cobb, and the rest do not represent the real
sentiment Of the South, cannot be issued mo.
ment too soon, If the Democracy wish to repair
the mischief done. 60

The GRAND BAL MAsoUE ATGHE WHITE
SULPHUR SPRINGs.-A correspondent of the
Richmond Wig gives a full account OF the
mask ball at White Sulphur Springs, Va,
on Thursday night last, from which we extract
the following description of some OF the ladies
who participated therein, who are well known
in this City:
Miss Mary Maury, as the "Whte Lady of
Ayenel,' wears q brooch presented TO her
mother by the Car OF Russia, as delicate ac.
knowledgment OF his appreciation of the yalu-
able scientific researches Of her distinguished
husband, Commodore Maury. Her sisters

senrs the maid Of the Mist, and her daughter
who Is quite pretty, the "Dew Drop" Miss
Mackall, Of Washington, is a Reaper" and
carries q bright sycle in hand, but the flashes
from her bright eyes do far more execution
Miss CapertOn, as morning" in spotless
White, Is a continual reminder TO the gay throng
that, ere Aurera dawns, the music will be
hushed and the Joyous festivities all at an end
The following were not in character:
Mrs. Gov Weller, of California; dress, blue
silk, with magnificent lace shawl: ornaments,
diamonds. Mrs. Dr. May. Of Washington
mond EARRINGS and diamond brooch. She
looked queenly.
PoLITIcAL.-Brick Pomeroy's paper, the
New York Democrat, Gals attention to the
fact that Mr.. Pendleton was not invited TO
speak in that city, either coming to or going
from Maine, and charges it upon the New
York World and its clique, who did not want
Mr.. Pendietons financial theories TO be set
forth in that city.
- The New York papers are reviewing the
prospects of the Congressional delegation from
the lower part of the State Mr.. Erastus Brooks
pOceu 10 10 10 congress from the t1rSt
District, but at the Democratic Convention on
Staten Island, on Monday, there was a split
and two candidates for Congress were nomi.
mated. Mr.. Erastus Brooks, who Is a brother
Of the Hon. James Brooks. was the candidate
of the seceders. II is thought that Mr.. Fox will
be renominated for the Fourth District,
although the friends Of Ar. Morgan Jones who
was his predecessor. are urging that he be sent
agaIn. Mr.. Morrissey seems TO be assured of
his nomination in the Fifth District. Besides
that he has withdrawn his bets in favor of
Gen. Grant, which gave offence, there Is no
strong opponent in the field. The Herald says
there is strong opposition to Mr. S. :. Cox In
the Sixth District Mr.. John w. Chanler, Of
the Seventh District. will probably lose his seat
Charles 6. Cornell, Bryan Reilly, Thomas ].
Creamer, and Harvey Calkins, are the principal
candidates OF the Democrats, and one of these,
most likely MI. Cornell, will be selected. In
the eighth district, Mr. James Brooks Is sup.
posed 10 be safe for another nomination, though
there are gentlemen waiting for his place. The
ninth district is conceded TO Fernando Wood.
Mr.. William Radford, who represented the
tenth district in the Thirty ninth Congress, but
was defeated two years ago, Is proposed for
another term. The Republicans are moving IN
only part Of these districts. They have but
small chances Of success, IL would seem, In any
OF the districts except the sixth and tenth, and
possibly the eighth. For the sixth district,
Hon. William Orion, Colonel F. A. Cenkling
and Others, are proposed. General SIgel Is
most likely to be nominated in the tenth, and
Mr.. William E Dodge will undoubtedly be the
candidate in the eight district Perhaps fight
viii be made for one Of the Brooklyn districts
