From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov o.
Fisher, Commissioner of Patents, has re-
signed
The Democratic Congressional COMMITTEE have
advices from Illinois that the Democrats gain the
5tb, 9Th and probably the 12th districts, and e.
duce the Republican majority by 1000.
The President has autho riZed the publication
of 4 correspondence which passed between him
and exSeccetar7 COX last August in relation TO the
claim of McGarrahan to the Quicksilver mines
claimed by the New I3ria Company. The Pre-
sident's letter says, - as the matter had been
taken in hand by Congress before the incoming
OF this administration. and much fraud is
charged snd believed to exist OF both sides, an
not willing ny name should be signed to pat-
eat for either party, until Congress has either
decided or declared their inability to DO So. l
wish you would say to Mr.. White, Secretary for
signing patents. not to put my name to that one,
except on special orders from me through you"
The next day Cox wrote a long reply denying
that Congress had assumed peculiar Jurisdiction
of the subject and asserting for reasons stated
that McGarrahau stands before the department
as fraudulent claimant, who has twice been
fo;led and condemned II his fraud by the high.
est Court of the Nation, and whose efforts to pro-
cura favor from Con gress have slso failed. He
concludes by saying: For myself, Is am con-
scious of having only fought ffsod with such
vigor a. 1 could, can mako no compromise,
and il fail to secure to the fullest extent your
approval of my cause, [ must beg you to relieve
me AT once from duti 5 which. without your cup
port. shall utterly fail in. "
The President notices the last part OF this let
ter to show thai. prior to October. when Cox
sent in his resignation. he asked to be relieved
from his office and hence the reasons he assigned
for his resig cation in October ware not the true
ones.
The President, through the newspapers, but
without his signature, also alludes to that part

COUNTY STATISTICS. Tho Board of Coun-

the State Board Of Public Charities in
which are embraced the following statistics
and statements regarding New Hanover
county:
Prisoners under sentence. 75-for the
following offences: rape, 2 !; forgery, );
bigamy, l; peace warrant, 2 larceny, At );
disorderIy conduct, %. Number Of I'M
convicted prisoners, 2O-crimes not ascer-
tained. Total number confined: males II;
female IS. OF these s are white and 81
colored G4 cannot read; 81 can read; II
are temperate; 20 drink moderately; are
drunkards.
Crime is on the decrease. Larceny,
adultery and disorderly conduct arc the
crimes most prevalent.
The prisoners are mainly from the poor
er class.
There is 10 prejudice against any class
or classes Of persons that would hinde
them of fair trial in the county-the fac
is to the contrary.
There is no reason to believe that any
class or classes Of men could not be con-
victtd of crime in the county, though gull
ty. We need more frequent Courts, and
q Criminal Court of high grade.
Want Of a proper system of Criminal
Court tends to increase crime.
The establishment of schools and proper
parental discipline are suggested as tend
ing to remove or abate the causes of crime.

Mr.. Pierrepoint, in a speech in New
York few days since, declared that Gen.
Grant must and will be the candidate Of
the Republican party in 1872. The New
York Sun. edited by Mr.. Dana, Stanton's
Assistant Secretary of War during the late
unpleaeantn4ss, thus responds to the pro-
position
The IDEA of renominating General Grant
Il based upon nothing but the fact that he
controls the customhOuse, the internal
revenue, the postof1ice and the other
sources OF official salaries and perquisiteS.
If he were not Pre- ident, with such q vast
array Of patronage at his command, 20
man would wish to make himself ridiculous
ny nominating him for the Presidency.
TIE simple truth is, that there is no in
telligeLt Republican who regards Grant as
being. IN civil affairs, q man of ordinary
common sense. III understand that he is
fool, aud that his Administration, wish
its distribution of offices IN return for
pres nta, its appointments of his own
relations to fat salaries without any other
reason than that they belong to the Grant
amily it's utter abandonmento of the dignity
and interests of the country in the
Cuban question, its attempt to force
through the corrupt job of the annexation
of S.. Domingo, and its general incap acity.
laziness, devotion TO pleasure, and neglect
of duty, is worse than a failure it S
dishouOr to the nation. General Grant
has not to day real friend in either House
of Congress. There is not man there
VINO respects him, or whose judgment is
influenced by his opinions Or his wishes.
There are sycophauts and hatterers, men
who wish TO use him and who nominate
him 70. the Presidency because that is the
most ef1icacious way OF administering to
him the incense he appreciates.
The Republican party has now q clear
opportunity of carrying the Presidential
lection of 1872. The barrenness of some
Democratic leaders and the corruption Of
others have put 1t into the power of the
Republicans to control the Government
fer at least another four years. But this
is only an opportunity. If they improve
it wisely, they may elect the President
and continue to hold majority in Con-
gross but they may also waste and throw
away their chance, and this they will
surely do if they renominate General
Grant. There is little danger, however,
that they will pursue course so suicidal.
There are ten DersOns five men and five
