WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 26.-There was no
| business before the Cabinet to-day. The
session was merely informal. The usual
new year reception will be held by the Pres
ident the first of January.
A Matter of Seventeen Millions.
As there is no absolute necessity for the
heavy appropriations for the improvement
of harbors and rivers and forti-
fications under the engineers bureau of the
War Department, the appropriation for
such improvements amountingto 100000
will probably be reduced to three mil
lions.
The POIaris.
Secretary Robinson, to complete the in
vestigation into the Polaris disaster is to-
day examining the three last members of
the expedition, who have very recently ar
rived here. There is no particular interest
in the facts derived.
The First National.
The statement that the First National
Bank of Washington will soon pay another
dividend is without authority from the re-
ceiver.
The Virginius.
The Navy Department has official reports
from Rear Admiral Scott giving detailed
account of the surrender of the Virginius.
The report does not differ materially from
those contained in other kilograms already
published. The latest dispatch from Ad
miral Scott is dated Key West, Dec. 10, as
follows:
SIR have the honor to enclose here
with a. copy of a letter of Dec. II, from
Captain Whiting, relative to the surrender
of the Virginius. / received further COM
munication from him this morning by the
tug Fortune, dated the 18th inst, in which
he says:
feared this morning that would have
to cali upon you for assistance to get the
ViTginius ready for her passage, but am
glad to say now she is in fair way towards
completion. During the night 22 tons OF
coal were taken in, but at A. NJ. it was
found that water had gained very much
upon her. | stopped coa!ing, and with the
assistance of the OSSippee, then coaling
from the other side of the schooner. all the
pumps and and lines of bucket-men were
started. Up to II A. NJ. the water did not
diminish, apparently, and steam pumps of
the OSsippee were brought into use by attach
ing lengths OF hose for suction. In the
meantime a leak found about the stern,
which partly accounted for the increase of
water. The difficulty was to get the water
below the crate bars, SO that a fire could be
started and the steamers bilge pumps used.
The water has been decreasing regularly
since meredian and fires are about to be
started. The Ossippee will be ready to
start tonight, when preparations on the
Virginius are completed. l send the coal
shoOner back in tow of the Potomac. l
cannot dispose Of more than sixty or seventy
tons. | have decided that no more coal
shall be put in the Virginius, and that the
OSsippee shall tow her to New York, using
the Virginius' engines only to work the
bilge pumps and overcome the drag OF the
wheels.

THE VILE DU HAVRE.
Letter from Captain surmount.

Letter from Captain SurnOunt.
New YORK, Dec. 26.-The London Tel
egrdpb of the 18th has a letter from Capt.
Surmount, of the Vile du Havre, DENYING
in toto the accusations against himself and
his sailors Of cOwardice and neglect of the
passengers safety on the occasion OF the
disaster, and making counter charges as fol-
lows: Capt. Robertson states, according to
you, that the Vile du Havre is alone re-
sponsible for the disaster Which befell her.
When speaking, in my report, of the re-
spective movements of the two vessels, |
had guarded a reserve which every man of
honorable feeling will appreciate; but if,
indeed, Capt. Robertson dared to solve so
peremptorily in his own favor this question,
so grave, and among all so obscure, death
having snatched away the greatest part of
the witnesses, and especially the principal
one, the officer of the watch at the moment
of the collision, shall repeat, then, with
out fear of contradiction from anyone
skilled in such matters, that the Captain of
the Loch Earn, sailing cloSe-hauled, could,
by a single turn of the wheel, have gone to
windward, and so prevented the catastro-
phe; that he could have done so up to the
very minute Of the collition, at the very
last moment even. According to the testi-
mOny of the survivors Of the Villed du Havre,
the lights of the Loeb Earn were, for some
reason or other, not visible from nv ship,
either bee iuse they were not in their places,
or because, as frequently happens after
long night, the wicls Of lamps may have
been allowed to burn down.

GEN. HOwAgD,s CASE.

From the Chicago Times.
WASH NGToN, Dec, 24-When the
court of inquiry is ordered in Gen.
Howard's case, some additional testi-
mony to that already published, relat-
ing to the defalcationo of the Freedmen's
bureau will be submitted. Thus far
the deficit is quite 100000. but other
frauds have been detected in the dis
bursement of the Sl4,000,000 which
Congress from time to time appropria-
ted for that bureau. The Military
Committee of the House will report,
when Congress re-assembles. in favor
of court Of inquiry, to be composed
of five general officers, for the trial
of Howard. This is the number origin
ally agreed upon, though the Commit
tee has been appealed to by Howard's S
friends to increase the court to seven,
and make one-half of it of officers who
commanded colored troops during the

CHICAGO.
The Destitute WOrl.ingmen.


Chicago, Dec. 26.-This evening a
meeting was held at the City Hall, at
which were present Mayor Calvin, the FL
nance Committee of the Common COUn-
Gil, and the Special Committee of Relief,
appointed by the Council Monday even
ing, the Special Committee of Working
men and the Executive Committee Of the
Chicago Relief and Aid Society.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the demands made by the workingmen,
through their leader, that the ReliefSociety
should set apart to the WOrkingmen'S Re
lief Committee portion of the funds in
their possession for distribution to their
suffering fellow laborers. In connection
with this demand, grave charges had been
made by some leaders of the wOrkingmen
to the effect that the funds of the Relief
Society had been misapplied, and that they
would be unable, if called upon to produce
100000 which their accounts showed
should be in hand. The Executive
Committee of the Relief Society.
while declining absolutely to place
any part of the funds in their,
hands into those Of other parties to be
distributed. showed those charges of mis-
application unfounded, and offered to pro-
duee the entire 100000 in cash in half an
hours notice, and let it be counted, as the
wOrkmen had commanded, and the commit
tee showed they were relieving all cases of
destitution presented to them, and the so
ciety is doing most efficient work in pro-
viding for the poor. The meeting, though
long and productive of much talk, was un-
marked by any excitement, and a majority
signified their satisfaction with the showing
made by the society, and confidence in
their disposition and ability to properly dis
tribute the funds in their hands,
Tho City Attorney has brought suit
against the bOndsmen Of d. A. Gage, de
faulting City Treasurer, and the States At
tOrney will bring Gage before the grand
jury for Indictment on criminal action.

Smith is said to have made aclean breast
of the affair, and interesting developments

The Times makes the following state
ment regarding the escape Of Genet: After
escaping from Deputy Sheriff Shields,
Genet, according to a precOncerted plan,
fastened to a close carriage near by, and
was driven to the house of friend in the
lower part Of the city where he remained
concealed until Tuesday afternoon. Then,
skillfully disguised, he was taken in an
other close carriage to the foot of canal
street. and hurried on board the steamship
Ontario, bound to st. Thomas, Acapulco,
and Aspinwall. A passage had been pre-
yiously engaged for him under an assumed
name, and he was received by the officers
without question. The Ontarior sailed at
late hour on Tuesday, and remained in
the lower bay until yesterday morning,
when she proceeded on her way.
Genefs Property Attached.
In the Common Pleas Chambers yester-
day, an attachment was issued against the
