WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, February NEARLY
the entire force OF mechanics at the
Washington Arsenal were discharged
yesterday, owing to the failure Of the
late appropriations.
The Rev. DR.. Newman, of this city,
has been rendered the new Methodist
Episcopal mission to Japan.
A number of petitions have been re-
ceived by Attorney General Williams,
praying for the removal of United States
District Attorney Southworth, of the
Southern District OF Alabama. The
petitions represent that Southworth
neglccts his business and is especially
derelict in the prosecution of the ac'or5
in the Eutaw riot, few weeks since.
The Attorney General to-day received
a telegram from Salt Lake City, signed
by large number CT business men and
Gentiles in Salt Lake, disapproving OF
the action of Judge McKeon in not
admitting Brigham Young and other
Mormons charged with murder, to bail.
The Attorney General also received
another dispatch from Salt Lake, signed
mainly by Federal officials in Utah,
endorsing the course of Judge McKeon
in the matter referred to.
General Porter and General Babcock
have received a dispatch from the
chairman Of the Congressional commit
tee which is investigating the New York
Custom House affair, that they will
take their testimony in Washington
after they they have concluded the
examination OF the witnesses in New
York.
The Syracuse delegation Of salt deal
ers was before the Ways and Means
committee this morning arguing against
any reduction of the tariff.
The committee on Foreign Affairs
had under consideration to-day the
fisheries clause of the treaty Of Wash
ington. Great diversity of opinion was
manifested, aud it is impossible to tell
what the final action will be. A prom
inent member of the committee ex-
presses the opinion that the treaty will
eventually lead to a war between the
United States and England or be abro,
gated.
