Q-When you were on the board in 1869, did
you take into consideration the law Of 1868,

the department to settle.

extra TO contract.

From Washington.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY SPY.

lSIENlAL DlSfAICll ~ The DAlL1 Sfl
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 7.
THE DANA BREAKDOWN,
The Robson investigation is about concluded.
The examination of Dana was SO complete
breakdown that the prosecution is at an end.
The excuse for dropping the investigation by
Dana and his counsel is the absence of Governor
Blair, the chairman of the committee Now it
is true that Mr.. Blair is a man of so high char
acter that he can never be used for partisan pur-
poses, but the remaining members of the COM
mttee are competent to go on with the mvesti
CATION. 1t is abandoned because Dana finds that
he cannot sustain his charges.
He committed the blunder of relying on street
rumors and irresponsible correspondents
against cabinet officer; and when offered the
power of compelling any witnesses whom lie
may name to testify, he is at loss which way
to turn. If the committee make any report,
there can be no doubt that they will severely
censure Dana for his conduct.
EX-CoNTRoLLER HULBURD
Will leave Washington in a few days to enter
business elsewhere. 1t is stated that his friends
will endeayOr to save him from censure in the
house, but it is doubtful, now that he has re
signed, if the report is called up.
WILL TAKE HIS TINE.
Secretary Fish will take his time in replying
to the last English note respecting the Alabama
controversy. Nothing is TO be gained by haste
and at present the differences between the two
governments seem to be irreconcilable: but it
is hoped that when few months have passed
away, a compromise can be arranged. Some of
the most influential republicans in congress, in
private freely express their regret that in our
case as presented to the Geneva board, so much
stress is laid on the claim to consequential dam
ages.
ANOTHER RAILROAD CONTEST.
There is a prospect Of lively contest in the
senate when the house bill giving "a site for
railroad depot 10 the Penn. Centrals railroad
company comes up there. A number Of senators
will speak at length against the proposed de.
struction of park for the sake of a railway
corporation; but there is very little expectation
of the defeat of the measure.
sINGuLARLY CAUTIOUS.
The Sunday papers here seem to take it for
granted that Senator Trlmbull is fully commit.
ted to the Cincinnati movement, and that he
will take the stump for the nominees of that
convention unless he shall happen TO be one of
the nominees.s
1t is a little singular, however, that he is so
cautious in his utterance on the subject here
Nothing that he has said here gives anybody
the right to say that he will oppose the election
of the nominees of the regular republican CON
venion at Philadelphia. SAM WELLER.

He will be installed in Il few days. Mr.. Putnam
was the former pastor of the Orthodox church
at Yarmouth, Me.
Henry Penniman of North Brookfeld was Sc
rOusly injured on Saturday afternoon while at
work at an artesian well in that town. The pole
which was used for raising the drill broke and
struck him on the head, inhcting asevere and
dangerous wound.
The most cordial good-feelng has recently
sprung up between Leicester, Mass, and
Leicester, England. AT the celebration of the
formers 150th birthday last year, Abram Firth,
division superintendent of the Boston and
Albany railroad, who is native of Leicester,
England, and has lived in both places, spoke TO
the toast, "The old Leicester and the new"
Since then Mr.. Firth has revisited England,
where he procured several Photographic views
of old Leicester and works relating to its local
history, which he has presented to the public
library of Leicester, Mass. The people of the
latter town have reciprocated by sending a
similar collection of local historical works to
Leicester, England, The existence of the new
Leicester seems to have been unknown to the
old, and the correspondence between the two is
of very interesting character.
