How THEY MANAGE THINGS AT WASHING
ToN.-They manage things neatly at Washing

not necessarily buy anu pay for them as com
mon people do No. He gives an order (say)
for two doz hair brushes, $24 and do do.

commissioners, chiefs OF bureaus, &c., 50 that,
after the arduOus labors OF the day, they may
go forth into Pennsylvania avenue with their
ambrosal locks Tor wigs, arranged IN the most
rakish anu captivating STYLE Oddly enou@h
the order goes to grocer The grocer, not
dealing largely In hair brushes and com0s
perhaps being actu lily short OF those artlcIes),
thinks it would be u3t as satisfactory to all
concerned if he sent to the department one

$3-Tota SO, and order his porter TO take
TO the private residence Of the government
purchaser the following nutritious substances ::
One barrel -four, $40 sugar, coffee, &c, SIT
fetal $27. A person skilled in addition Will
perceive that these items figure w $50 (sams
as two dozen brushes and combs would haze
done). The government purchaser, having
said, finds it much easier and pieasanter to
certify that the two dozsn OF each had been re-
ceived than to have the flour, sugar, &c,
wagoned back to the grocers, make correction
on the books, and incur 90 end Of bother. This
plan of laying in groceries is capable Of lndcfi
mite application. Bureaus, sideboards, sofas,
| wardrobes, carpets, drop lights and gas fixture:
may gradually swell the personal effects Of
these buyers, and be paid for as brushes, cont;
and what not. For such men to retire at th(
| end Of three or four years service with $40;

is only question Of buying enough hair brush

Another curious problem that they work GU
very prettily at Washington is how to gcr

Various solutions are offered but the best i
that invented by the commissioner ofa impor

and carriage. These be sends round to hi:

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY. The De
troit Tribune tells the following curious story Of
convict recently pardoned by the Governor
of that State:
"The pardoning of Edward Murphy, who
had been convicted of murder at Mackinac,
from the State prison, and the application
made by him to the Legislature for compensa-
ton for services during the tine OF his lncar
ceration, has given rise to some newspaper
gossip. The person who committed the murder
was known as Patrick KearDey. He commit
ted the deed on November 10Th, 1851, on the
steamer Globe and was brought to Detroit on
that steamer and placed in Jail, two or three
days later, too late in the season to be taken
back to the scene Of the murder to be tried.
son the night OF March Sd, 1852, Kearney,
in company with eleven others, escaped from
the iaiI. After the jal. breaking had occurred
the then sheriff offered a reward OF twenty five
dollars for the capture OF the escaped prisoner,
and this amount was paid Tor the arrest of
Edward Murphy, who was afterwards convict
cd of the MURDER and, although innocent, as it
now turns out, was sentenced for life to the
State prison.
THE arrest Of Murphy was effected in this
manner: At the time the murder was com.
mitted Il man named Cummings was pretty
badly cut by the criminal Cummings after
wards went to Chicago and became policeman,
or some sort Of an officer. Eight years after
the crime was committed, Cummings saw a
person in thai city whom he believed to be the
escaped murderer. This man gave his name as
Edward Murphy, after being arrested at the
instance of Cummings, but 50 firm did the in
former appear to be in his conviction that the
prisoner was really the criminal, that the De
trot authorities were notified of the arrest,
and Peter nadcroot, who was turnkey at the
jail when the prisoners before alluded to cs-
capped, went to Chicago to identity him. Both
Laderoot and Cummings were OF same
opinion relative to the man, and upon tie
strength of their testimony he was taken back
to Mackinac and convi ted of murder. Muir
ply, on his trial put ia no defence, bur pro-
tested his innocence to the last. There was
certainly striking resemblance between Muir
ply and Kearncy."

A dispatch from Washington says After
many conferences between the Virginia CON-
mittee and its individual members with the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate and mem
bers of the Senate and House, it seems to be
pretty well understood that the following def
mite arrangement has been substantially agreed
to Following the precedent in the Missouri
Compromise and the proceedings upon the ad-
mission of Oregon, Kansas and Nebraska, a
bill will be prepared authorizing the admission
of Virginia, upon the adoption OF the propos-
ed Constitution, with the obnoxious clause in
regard to the disfrancbisement, test oath, and
probably some other Objectionable features,
stricken out When this bill shall be passed,
it is believed it will be followed by an amnesty
bill, either universal, or with very few excep-
tions, to take effect on the ratification OF the
Constitution. 1t is said that this adjustment
meets the appreciation of General Grant, Sec
rotary Scho6eld, and q large number of the
most prominent radical members of both
Houses of Congress-
