FROM WASHINGTON.
The President at Long Branch.

Special Despatch to The EUenir,g Telegraph,
WASHINGTON June 2a-It has transpired that the
main object OF the Presidents visit to Long Branch
this season has political more than social signih-
canoe. He desires to hear the counsels of leading
politicians and acknowledged Republicans as to the
best manner of healing the differences in the ranks
OF the party in the States of New York and Pennsyl
vania. Next week large delegation of New Yorkers
will visit Long Branch to give their views as to the
better apportioning OF Federal patronage in that
State.
Attorney-GeneraI Akerman
returns tomorrow, when Bowen's case will be dis
posed OF as far as that department is concerned.
When the President ordered the Secretary of War
to issue instructions to department commanders tn
assist the civil authorities in the Southern States
In putting down the Ku-klux or like disturbances 1t
was expected Instructions also would be sent to
United States District Attorneys and Marshals.
The Attorney General deferred this till such time
as, in his opinion, the condition of affairs would
warrant it. Akerman is a Georgian, and thinks he
knows best how to deal with the people Of that Sec
ton of the country, and does not believe in precip
tat1ng matters; consequently instructions of any
kind have been issued any than If the act for
the suppression Of thesaleged outrages had never
passed.
Since Clifford Thomson Resigned
the position OF Chief Supervisor and Detective of In
ternal Revenue on account OF using the secrets OF
Peasanton's office for stock jobbng matters 1t has
been alleged that the Commissioner himself was
more or less involved in Thomsons plans There is
positive disagreement between Boutwell, and
Pleasanton, SO that the latter never communicates
with the Secretary on business except by letter.
Now this means has stopped, and Pleasanton in
tends managing his bureau independently OF the
ing his approval or consent in any matter, hoping
the President will sustain him. Yesterday he
awarded one of the most important contracts to the
Hudson Paper Mills for furnishing new paper for
printing beer distilled spirits, cigar tobacco, snuff,
and all other stamps, except adhesive stamps.
The Secretary alone has the fright to bind con-
tracts by his approval, and Pleasanton's course is
regarded as remarkable, as it is defiant. Such q
condition Of affairs cannot last much longer Either
Boutwell, must resign or Pleasanton accept a
foreign mission.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
An EIeven-Year-OId Hero.

An EIeVen- ear-OlU HeFOs
The Lancaster Intelligencer of last evening
says-
One of the most remarkable accidents which
we have ever recorded occurred in this city
yesterday afternoon Clarence A. Westhaeffer
aged about eleven years, and son of Mr.. j. M.
Westhaeffer, the we'll known bookseller being
the sufferer. Clarence climbed up to the top of
that portion of gymnasium known as q
"Flying Dutchman," situated in the rear of the
Parish School on Duke street. his object being
10 secure long rope for little girl who de-
sired to use 1t for particular purpose. While
at the top be became giddy and fell clutching
at the pole in his descent, and this was what
caused the serious part OF the accident, for q
gold ring on the third finger of his left hand
caught in one of the spikes ON the pole, his
whole weight resting for moment
upon the finger; but it was only
for a moment-he fell heavily, while
the ring flew in one direction and the entire
skin of the finger, nail and all, in another. The
skin and nail of the finger remain intact, not a
break in either, and a casual observer would
suppose that it is really the whole finger-fesh,
bone, and all. But the mutilated part is only
the outside covering of the finger, having, of
course, good deal of flesh with it. And here
comes in the brave part. Clarence walked over
to the office of DIR. John l.. AtIee Sr., but find
ing that gentleman in the act of going to the
railroad to take train of cars, he walked to
the residence of DR.. John L. Atlee Jr where
his injured hand was properly dressed, and the
brave little fellow then walked home. He is
suffering considerable pain to-day, but il is be-
lieved the finger will be saved.

THE EXPLOSION.
The Fire still Burning.

The public are already familiar with the ter
rife explosion and fire which occurred last night
in the large agitator of the establishment of the
Atlantic Petroleum Storage Company, near the
Point Breeze Gas Works
When the fact became known, many fears
were expressed that the tank, with its large mass
of burning oil, might possibly communicate to
the other oil stills and reservoirs, but these ap
prehensions fortunately were unfounded The
contents of the agitator were still in flames as
late as noon to-day, but despatch from the
works at that hour contains the assurance that
it is now under perfect control. The estimate
of the losses as given in the morning papers
was above the actual figures. rhe
capacity of the tank was overstated, it contain
ing at the time of the casualty about 100, 900
gallons of oil, and not 100 900 as reported. This
in connection with the destruction of the tank
and two smaller ones containing the chemicals,
will make the loss about 5000 1t is not in
sured. An effort was made last night to draw
off portion of the oil from the bottom of the
holder, but with only partial success. The
probabilities are that 1t will continue burning
until every particle of the petroleum is con-
sumed.

CRUELTY TO oANIMALs.-One of tn o most re-
Voting cases of cruelty was perpetrated at
Fairmount Park last week, and under circum-
stances showing an amount of moral turpitude
that we are glad to say we are not often called
upon to relate. young man, of a parentage
that would have led us to believe him incapa-
BILE of such an act deliberately threw a stone
at one of the beautiful little rabbits whose gam
bols are the delight of the young folks and old
who frequent the park, and broke both of its
legs nor did his cruelty end here. Instead of
humanely despatching the poor little thing, he
threw 1t among the high grass, to perish from
starvation. When these facts were presented TO
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, their agents called upon gentleman
who had been a witness of the act, but he
evinced strong disnclination to testify against
his friend, and as the matter now stands it would
appear that the perpetrator of one of the mean
est acts of cruelty on poor inoffensive little
creature would escape the punishment he so
richly deserves. We cannot but express our be-
lief however, that had the society used one
half the effort TO bring this genteel offender to
justice as they have shown zeal in furnishing ig-
norant owners of ash-carts, for driving jaded
and broken-down horses, it would have secured
for itself a reputation for impartiality, and
established the fact that cruelty to animals
meant punishment, from which no class could
claim immunity.

LAUNCH OF THE STEAMER A. M. SMITH
Quite number of ladies and gentlemen gathered
at Messrs Neafe q Levys yard, Kensington, to
witness the launch of the beautiful steamer
A. NJ Smith, which took place punctually at
p. NJ. yesterday. The steamer is a beautiful
craft, and does much credit to its builders. 1t is
owned by Elizur Smith, of Hartford, Conn.,, aud
is one of line intended for the Connecticut
river. This launch was the scene of unusual
interest, from the fact that it is intended for
New Englander. Mr.. G. w. Smith, shipper of
coal, of Philadelphia, and formerly from New
England, paid glowing tribute to the enter
prise, perseverance, and good management of
the owner in putting forward so many crafts
steamers, sailing vessels, and barges-thereby,
through his instrumentality, greatly enlarging
the maritime interest of the State to which he
belongs. He also, in fitting words, spoke in loud
praise of the builders, Messrs. Neafe d Levy,
and, copying his language, mo greater COM
pliment could be paid this firm than that the
Inventive New Engander, who invents every
thing, manufactures everything from the needle
to the locomotive, from the baton to the steam
ship, should come to this firm to get their work
done, thereby showing their unprejudiced mind,
bestowing merit where it is due" While she
gently slid down the ways beautiful young
lady christened her with the words, 81 name
this good steamer A. NJ. Smith; may she prove
worthy of the name, live long and prosper"
