THE LAWRENCE DISQUALIFICATION HIS OPER
ATOMS WE'RE CONDUCTED.

The latest official statement as to the &C
counts of the missing Pension Agent Gen. Lawrence,
shows the Of the deficit TO be, heretofore
stated in THE TRIBUNE about $4,000 His sureties
able and willing to make this good to the Government.
No instance has been found in which any pensoner has
suffered by the defalcaton 1t appears that during last
Winter Gen. Lawrence engaged in speculatons in stocks
in walst The deficit in his account at the subTreas
ury the LIST of March about so oO0that is to say
he had to that date Incorporated that amount out
placed subject 20 his order for tao
payment of pension checks The checks of the Pension
Agent drawn against the deposited TO his credit in
the sub-Treasury, are by regulation made pay
able to the order Of pensioners, and any departure
from that custom ia provided for by arrangement
with the subTreasrer his assistants the Snolreas
rer having under general instructions, supervisory
authority money transactions Of the discussing
officers, whose credits are deposited with HIM There
was, therefore, but way in which Gen. Lawrence
could without immediate detection, embezzle any con-
siderable amount of Government funds There are
about 100 pensioners residing In other countries primer
pally Ireland and Germany; and 1t has been the Gus
tom send their pensions semi annually or annually In
persons In bill, drawn TO the order OF some one OF
the number. Gen Lawrence, according to custom
for OF s2ooo to 5000 explaining at the Sub
Nils of exchange for the payment of foreign pensions
He remitted all that due the pensioners abroad put
meantime, the necessities growing out OF stock
specuiations urged him, he drew a number of others,
purporting be for official disbursements by when the
amount of the deficit in his accounts was increased to
5OOoO before suspicion aroused.
1t is understood that the Government has been urged
TO provide against similar Irregularities in the Pension
Department either by requiring that the pensionchects
which issued 10 persons abroad shall be made paya
BILE at some one the American banking In Lon
don, or elsewhere, without the medium Of bills OF ex-
age; that the checks to be sent abroad snail bear
the name only pensiOner which shall appear also
in the bill Of exchange The latter plan has been already
adopted by Col D0ty, the new Pension Agent so at IL
may be said that check from the Pension Office now
comes 10 the SubIeasury except with such voucher
may either give for ITS payment without hest
tation or of doubt, aifOrd means OF speedy
and sure investigation by the subTreasurer or his sub

Philadelphia will have at least one woman
voter at the next election. On Saturday last, in
that city, Miss Carrie L. Burnham, ACCOMPANIED
Assessors and demanded To be registered and as
sesSed as a voter, claiming to be a citizen of the
United States, and therefore entitled to the
privileges and immunities of citizenship The
canvasSers at first objected on account of her
sex; but Carrie was not to be bluffed in that way
and eXpounded TO the assessors the law accord
ing to Woodruff, that citizenship was not con-
fined to sex, and that women, from the founda-
ton of our government, had been recognized as
citizens; and that now, under the Constitution
OF the United States with its amendments, they
were justly entitled to all the privileges Of citi
zenship equally with man. The canyassers
tIeTeupOn incontinently caved, and her name
was registered, she having made the required
affidavit, and she received her certificate of as
sessment, which she took to the Office of the Re-
ceiyer of Taxes, rendering herewith her 6ftv
cents. With but little discussion Mr.. Beatty
received her tax and gave her a tax recent. and
she went on her way rejoicing, with nothing to
bar her passage TO the polls on the day of the
election. The same arguments which converted
the Philadelphia assessors were used in this CITY.
it will be remembered, by the ladies who made
application to be registered previous to our last
election, but the judges Of election here, less
gallant than their brethren in the Quaker civ
refused 10 accept the new Interpretation of the
Constitution and laws, and none but Americans
OF the male persuasion were allowed to deposit
their ballots

The great problem OF architects-how best to

running from the cellar to and out OF the roof
with openings into it at or near the floor and at
the ceilings OF the rooms, and Z warm current of
air ascending through it from the cellar, which

Washington is a city of professions, and has
seen many grand displays in this way, but
probably nothing more imposing, ever, than
that of the Knights Templar to-day. A remark
ably fine looking and intelligent looking body of
men, with a uniform well calculated to set off
the appearance of the wearers to the best ad-
vantage, and a mode of march combining mill
tary precision of step and movement, and a dis
position of the numbers in marching peculiar
and appropriate to the order, the appearance of
the line as it moved up our noble Avenue
the finest street in the world for such
display-was one to be remembered
The shouts of the multitudes upon the side
walks, the balconies, the windows and the
hOusetops; the waving of hsndkerchiefs and
flags, and many like demonstrations, served to
show the visitors the estimation in which thew
are held by the people of Washington, where
Masonry is known and respected through its
membership here, made up of our best and
most useful citizens. We trust our visitors will
leave Washington with as good an impression of
US as we have of them.
