sPoNDENCE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRDUNEl
WASHINGTON. April 23.-There is much feeling on
the part of the high officers of the Treasury Depart
ment with reference to the differences between the
Secretary and the house of Phelps, Dodge g. Co.
Friends OF the latter claim that the statement
recently made by ex-Secretary Boutwell,, to the
effect that the Treasury Department never compro-
missed with a person who had not first acknowledged
his indebtedness and improperly of conduct does
not fairly represent the condition of the case of that
firm The firm had been guilty, as all admit, of at
least a technical violation of law. The alternative
WAC presented to them either to lay them
selves open to suit subject to all
the expenses and vexations attending any
action with the Government, and the risk Of being
obliged to pay 100000 in the end, or olse to
acknowledge the violation of law. and pay the
penalty prescribedin such cases, amounting in the
present instance to S21 600. The friends Of the
firm say they were compelled to accept the lesser of
the two evils but that both attempts were unjust on
the mart of the Government. The officers OF the
Treasury are becoming very indignant at the
course of Phelps Dodge e. Co.. and they threaten
now that unless they hold their peace the cor
respondence between ex-Secretary Boutwell, and
that firm will be given TO the public Those who
have seen it declare that it Will have very
damaging effect in the eyes Of the public against the
firm, and will show Mr.. BOutwelrs position to have
been patient and just one.

George +. Babcock. switchman at Richmond, tesuned
The switch s about 60 rods from the bridge where the
accident crossed the railroad bridge Friday ngnt
about O'clock and nothing unusual attracted my atten
on, and passed back the driveway OF the dam just
before o'clock Friday evening the water was running
out Of half OF the waste-gate.
Harris L1mphear, manufacturer, testified Never saw
this dam until after the accident; have since visited IL
and looked it over thoroughly the part that remains
seems TO have been properly built and Of sufficient
strength; should the railroad bridge three tunes
as wide necessary to accommodate the water OF
the stream; have had great deal OF experience with
dams and nearly lost several before found what tho
trouble was have learned not to allow the water to
rise above the frost line when the ground Is settling in
Spring. before the ground thoroughly settles 1t is
porous and e water easily finds passage through 1t;
this may not have been tho OF the break but It
not cannot think what else to attribute 1t to- as
the position Of the dam that remains is certainly amply
strong.

the inquiry viii be reported at the May session of

Shaken CONSTITUTIONS.

General debility, and the dependency by which
it is invariably accom- panied, are often regarded
as the symptoms of incurable physical decay. OF
persons thus afflicted it is often said that their
constitutions are undermined; that they have
nothing left to fall back upon; that they are hope
less cases. This in at least eight instances out of
ten, is a false conclusion. A constitution may be
shaken without being undermined; and even if
undermined may be propped and strengthened;
and in many so-ca1led hopeless there are re-
serves of vitality and latent vigor in the system
that only require stimulating and developing to
render them equal to the workof repair The best
and s1rest stimulant and invigorant that can be
given as remedy for decay of the vital powers
whether natural or casual, is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. If the faltering physique can be reused
into healthy activity by any human ans, this
regenerating vegetable cordial will accomplish
that object Its effect upon the appetite, the di-
gestion, the nervous system, the secretive organs
and the bowels is most salutary. 1t not only acts
directly upon the solids and fluids of the body but
indirectly upon the constitution itself Persons

tion that 1t would seem if they could never re-
