WASHINGTON, june! 20.g
The moral atmosphere Of the capital Is
again disturbed with intirnations of corrup-
tion in high places, and to those who have
been wondering why the delay in settling
the Central railroad case was so prolonged,
it will be no surprise to learn that the
charges are brought against the internal
revenue office, or, more properly saying,
against parties who have held recent close
official relations with that bureau. The in
timation which is in active circulation here
is, that the ruling Of Commissioner Pleas
onton in the great case above mentioned
was offered for sale previous TO its public
promulgation. Cabinet officers are spoken
Of as having given credence to this talk, and
1t is more than likely that startling sensa-
ton, bristlipg with points, will grow out
of it.
The Radical political centres here re-
ceiyed additional shocks in the intelligence
which comes to them through various chan.
Democracy is likely to receive in the earn
est counsel and adhesion Of the Chief JUS
tice of the United States. The conserva-
tive feelings of this distinguished jurist are,
as is universally known, not of late origin,
but the practical benefits which will accrue
to the country and 10 the Democratic party
by the open and ardent dissemination of
them will prove an additional source OF
anxiety to the controlling political party.
The Indian Commissioner of the present
Administration and the Board of Indian
Commissioners are on the eve of another
row, and there will be as much crim-
it as resulted from the difficulty among
these officials last winter, when a Congress
sionai investigation was necessitated. This
time the quarrel springs out of difference
of opinion as to what great trunk railway
should have been awarded the bids for con-
yeying the rccently-purchased Indian sup
plies and annuity goods to the frontier.
The commissioners thought the Pennsyl-
yania Central was entitled to the award,
and Parker was Of the opinion that the
New York Central was the lowest bidder.
The board has been beaten, and will make
another effort to have Parker ousted.
Notwithstanding the hopes of peace on
the frontier, the Departments, both Inte-
rior and War, expect great trouble with
the red men during the summer and fall
months, and Sherman, when lie returns to
Washington, will most likely advocate O
war of determination. - -
The KukluX Outrage {"Raw Head and
Bloody Bones') Committee are still harp
ing upon Alabama. They will have grand
opportunity to examine the internal reve-
nue. officer who recently sent here from
Louisiana a long TRADE about war of races
being imminent in sections Of that State.
His report appears in some of the newspa-
pers Of to-day. 1t is suggested that he
would tell yarns enough in an hour TO set
tie the entire business of the committee.
Radical officials in different States are still
fighting over the spoils. The recent elec-
tions, which ousted several of the members
of the party from Congress, intensity the
scramble, and Grant has only escaped q
siege that would completely sicken him by
rushing to Long Branch, where he refuses
to see people afflicted with "oflicc on the
BRAIN"
There are as yet no mails from China
since the reception of Admiral ROdgers's 8
dispatch relative to the Corean war, and of
course no details have been received. The
English and PruSsian Governments iuti-
mate through their representatives. here
the most intense interest in the condition
Of affairs in that quarter Of the world.
