PROBABILITY OF THEIR AcoUrrrAL.

PROBABILITY OF THEIR ACQUITTAL.
The investigation into the charges against
Harbor Master will be finished this morning, and
the result made public. Capt. Gibbs, who, with Mr..
Dutch preferred the charges against the Harbor Mas
ters told TRIBUNE reporter yesterday that the charge
against Mr. johnson had failed 10 be sustained and he
had been exonerated He had no doubt that Mr. Frost
would also be exOnerated for the witnesses against him
were all stevedores and would say nothing to the prejn
dice of their friend The substance of the
charge against johnson was that in May last
he was met in wall-st. by Mr.. Dutch OF
No. 81 south-st and that the latter complained that be
had been deprived Of towing the bark ST. Ursula up to
her berth Mr. johnson replied that he had sent William
Martins tow that bark and that he would do
II again, and he would kill any tow-boat keeper who
would not follow his directions. 1t was also charged
that Mr.. johnson had done as he told Mr.. Dutch he
would do. Early in May Messrs Gibbs and Dutch dis
covered that certain Harbor Masters we're showing
preferences 10 towboatmen and agents in their dis
trcts contrary to the act Of May g. 1862 amended
April a. 1885, which declares that tue Harbor Masters
shall have no interest direct or indirect, In any tow
boat tug. &C., in the harbOr Of New-York
So far had this gone that it almost impossible to
secure berth without employing one of the favored
agents. Accordingly, Jan. letter was addressed
to Capt Seaman informing him that there was strong
crcumstantal evidence showing that Master johnson
Of the With District giving Illegal preference to GER
tain tow I'm his district and that was suspected
that the Masters OF the lFth ana ISL Dlslets were
guilty Of the same offense. Capt Seaman replied that,
In order bring the matter properly before MN iOr IN
vestlgatiOn the complainants should prefer formal
charges iinst the HarbOr Masters and he suggested
that conversation on his part with MT Johnson Woud
probably Obviate the necessity or an investigation
on the 23d Of July the same persons addressed
second letter 10 Capt. Seaman complaining that
Mr. johnson continued to give preference especi-
ally to Martin & Crary tow-boat agents OF No. %
sonthst 10 the great detrment of their own business
This letter contained the specific charges against
Mr. Frost which were published in T9nrsdays dkBunL;
Mesrs Gibbs and Dutch to appear before hum ana pre-
fer formal complaints against the Harbor Masters anu
the case Of MIR. Frost was at once taken up lr
Capt Gibbs states that lie has been defeated because
his own witnesses apparently belonged TO the Ring aud
turned against him. lie s however, ready to take mp
arms again whenever a directly affecting his Dus
ness occurs and he is certain that the HarbOr Masters
are guilty the only difficulty being TO prove it, as the
only witnesses against them are interested In getting
them off,
