OBSTRUCTION TO NAvIGATIoS.-It will be
remembered that several vessels have been
seriously injured and one or two sunk in the
channel Of the Potomac, off G street wharf
No effort has been made to remove this OBJ
struction, which proves to be natural rock
in the channel. Mr.. B. F. Barker, harbor
master, has repeatedly had his attention d.
rected to the matter and has waited upon
the commander of the Washington navy
yard relative thereto. After repeated visits
the commander directed Mr.. Barker to call
upon Commander jenkins, of the lighthouse
board, who has promised to place buoy
near by for the guidance Of mariners.

Metropolitan church, at the corner Of Four

clusion Of the morning service large crowd
regularly assemble upon the sidewalks, SO
that II Is with some difficulty that one can
pass along, to say nothing about the annoy
ance to ladies TO have gentlemen Gas 1 sup
pose they are) stare al them as they pass by.
The crowd Is not altogether composed Of gem
tlcmcn, however, for ladies, too, also walt
upon the sidewalk to see the President pass
out Of church. II undoubtedly is annoying
to him, and am sure 1t Is to many others.
suppose that the persons who congregate
there have seen the Chief Magistrate, but If
they have not, think Il would be well for
the President TO give q special reception for
their benefit, and thus break up this prac-
tice. II, however, this custom Ia persisted
In hope the police will act In the premises,
and break up future crowds that may IA
semblc, for it seems TO me 70 be not only ox-
tremely annoying but disrespectful..

the authorities OF Georgetown arrest him an

Germ.
Reported Corruption and Fraud.

heNbOrttO sOEFuPthOn Nnu EuoUs
From the New York Times. Sept. 2l.l
1t Is with great reluctance that we
give currency to very unpleasant
report which has reached us in regard
to an institution which, Of all Others
In the land, ought to he beyond re-
proach or even suspicion. The au-
thority, however, for what we are
about to announce Is of such char
acter that silence on our part would,
under the circumstances, amount u
delinquency. We are credibly as
sured that the New Agent Of the
Methodist Book Concern, Rev. DIR.
Lanahan, has discovered In that es-
Enlistment great corruption and
fraud, involving loss TO the amount
of several hundred thousand dollars.
The subject, We understand, Is now
undergoing Investigation, and as
soon rs the details can be given to
the public without prejudice tn any
but culpable parties, we shall endeav-
or 10 furnish them.
The frauds II IL said, have been go
Ing on for some eight or nine years,
and OF course their full extent Is not
yet ascertained with precision. The
magnitude Of the business transacted
by this concern, and the reputation
Which II has enjoyed for probity In III
management, conspire 10 give 10 any
suspicion against IL a. painful i'm
portance. 1t Is six months since we
had the satisfaction Of saying of this
Institution, In the columns Of the
Times, "that II should be recorded, Ia
the honor of all concerned, that not
a dollar has ever been lost by the de-
falcation Of its managers from the
commencement OF the business" In
1850. Unfortunately, that can not be
said Of the Methodist Book Concern
any more.
