THE FOURTH IN WASHINGTON


refused.
THE FOURTH IN WASHINGTON.
The Fourth at the capital has been but
continuation of other days.
Since the beginning of the excitement
over the New York Convention there has
been no interest in anything outside of the
Convention.
The departments and public Offices, to-
gether with the stores and shops, were
closed and business generally suspended.
Save that flags are flying here and there
about the city, and IN occasional band OF
music heard, with m abridged edition of
the usual e-cracker patriotism, the city
has been as quiet and orderly as on the
Sabbath. The streets were deserted oil
during the day, but MI the conveyances to
Mount Vernon and other suburban retreats
are crowded to overlooking.
1t has been one of the hottest days Of the
season.
INTENSE INTEREST FELT IN TIE PROCEED
INGs OF THE NEW YORK CONTEMPORARIES
PRESIDENTS CHANCES OF NOMINATION IN
CREASED BIZ HIS AMNESTY PROCLAMA-
TI0N.
1t is said by the oldest politicians now IN
the civ that no convention within their
memory has attracted the interest in Wash
ton of the Democratic Convention in New
York. The slightest news is seized upon
with great earnestness, and the prospects
of the various candidates are being dis
cussed everywhere. The interest is doubt
less enhanced by the fact that some of the
prominent candidates Hendricks, Chase
Hancock, and Johnson,) are now in this
city. 1t is the general belief that If the
President stood any possible chance before Of
the nomination, his prospects are increased
four-fold by the amnesty proclamation to-
day promulgated. He is hourly in receipt
of kilograms from his friends in New York
that the prospects of his own nomination
are by no means the most meagre, and ne
has to-day been informed that the procla'
nation has given his friends fresh hope.
THE ALLEGED FRAUDS IN THE SECOND AU'
| DIToR's OFFICE.
General Cobb, of Wisconsin, the only
member of the Pay Department investi
CATION committee now in the city, is still
pursuing the investigation into alleged
frauds in the Second Auditors office grow
ing out of the payment Of bounties to CO.
lored soldiers. That office and the CORES
ponding bureau in the War Department arr
still kept closed, except to officers engaged II
making the examination of books and papers
Some two or three hundred special cases
have been prepared, but the committee ha'
thus far been unable to find evidence o
such enormous frauds as were at first re
ported. The officers of the department as
sert that the report Of fraud was withou
foundation. A member Of a prominen
firm of claim agents, supposed to be impli
Gated, has been to the different newspape
Offices and telegraph bureaus and LEI
notifications that if their names were pub
lished as implicated in the frauds the.
would sue the proprietors Of the neWspa
pers for libel.

The PROCESS OF READMIssION, ETC.-The
Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives US the following touching
General Grants part in the machinery of
reconstruction, together with some personal
illusions to his aids:
1t is between the Speaker Of the House
and General Grant that most Of the actual
work is done relative to reconstruction.
The day of the passage OF the omnibus bill
Grant was busy sending messages to de-
partment commanders, and Clerk Edward
Mcpherson was flying between the House
of Representatives and General Rawlns's.
"To Rawlins, and Colonel Parker, engi-
neer, the important department of recon-
struction has been long committed by Gene
raj Grant. Rawlins is o man of Grants
type, careless about dress, plain, rather
small of body, with very black hair and
beard, worn long and random-like. |
found him at his room in the second
story of Grants headquarters yester-
day, hard at work with Parker-the
latter large, dignifed, with the bearing
and the intelligence of Brandt. Parker is
one of the best staff officers in the United
States service, and most efficient en-
gineer; q man difficult to become acquaint-
ed with, but an indefatigable worker. He
weighs, probably, two hundred and fifty
pounds. Looking ct the two together, it
was group worthy of Cooper; Rawlins
looking like the sun-burnt hunter or pio-
neer, lean of jaw, with dark, intense eye,
the representative of the nerve-race of
mankind. Parker, of the color of the au
tumn leaf of the forest, almost beardless, Il
robust giant, with the unconscious pride of
line of men who set the first example on
this continent Of the power of union and
the thirst of dominion. They were sitting
close together, in mutual calculation over
kilograms and papers. Very soon their
responsibility, and Grants, in this onerous
and thankless place, will have almost
ceased. Reduced garrisons will then be
maintained through the South, and the
white and black residents there must ap-
preciate the truth that they are equal be-
fore the law and the Government, and level
up or down, as they respectively DESIRE"
