Mt. L. b. WaBhburnc, our Minister at
Farit, has written q letter 10 q friend OF his
in the West, from which tho following Is an
extract: II have often said that, having
put down the monopoly of slavery, the people
should now address themselves to putting
down railway, telegraph and express monop-
olles. Let the conspirators against
the rlghts the interests and the indepcnd-
cnce Of the people tremble."
IN Congress, Mr.. Washburno was one Of
the ablest and most faithful Of the reprcscn-
tatlycs Of the people. lie steadily set his
face against corruption and extravaganza
In every form, and incurred the bitter hostil-
lty OF the hungry and plundering hordes who
annually come TO Washington with all man
ner Of schemes TO rob the treasury. II was
the fashion, In certain quarters, TO abuse and
ridicule him for what was termed his over
Zenlousness In the economical expenditure
Of the public moneys, and many were un-
charitable or ill-natured enough TO assert
that II was due not SO much TO q desire
to protect the Interests Of the people as
to obtain cheap notoriety In Il small way.
Mr.. Washburno has, however, lived down all
these ISLANDERS and misrepresentation, and
Is tO-uul uJHtlNNhll lbphlul WIN almost ull
classes Of his cOuntrymen. We have during
tho last few years, come to know him better,
and az q consequence TO appreciate the seem
ingly thankless services which he rendered
In the past. His fearlessness and thorough
Amerlcanlsm in Paris during the dark dayt
Of the Prussian war, and later In the bloody
weeks of the commune, commended him tc
his countrymen without distinction Of party
and let In a flood Of light upon his rugged
and. generally misunderstood character
During the period referred to we saw him
standing nobly by the side Of the people, sue.
coring the poor Frenchman and the poor
German when they were abandoned by theIr
own Governments, or when their Govern.
ments were powcrlcss to protect them. Mr..
Washburno justly earned the praise of almost
the whole world there but he only did in an.
other way what he has been doing all his
life, standing between the people aud the
powers and interests that would tyrannlzc
over them.

We published yesterday the llst Of commits
siouers recently appointed to attend the
Vienna Exposition, which commences on the
lst OF May and lasts until the 1st OF Noyeul-
Der. By the act Of Congress approved June
Q, 1874, the President was authorized to ap-
point one or more agents" to represent the
United States at the Vienna Exposition, pro-
vided that their appointment should involve
the Government In no expense. Under this
authority Gen. Thomas d. Van Burcn, OF New
York, and q number of assistants, all gentle
men OF means and ability, were designated to
receive, classify and forward tho goods Of
American exhibitors, and two Government
vessels were placed ut their disposal. So
well did they discharge their duties that ono
vessel, containing articles from over seven
hundred exhibitors, has already left, and an.
other, with nearly Us large cargo Is on the
point OF leaving for Trieste.
Al the last session, Congress, by joint reso-
luton Of February Il, appropriated two hun
dred thousand dollars for the general eI-
pcuses attending the shipment and classlfca-
ton Of articles intended for exhibition, setting
apart nifty thousand dollars for the salaries
and expenses Of the lftecu practical artisans
and scientific mon, whose appointment We
announced yesterday. The Government In,
thus made liberal provision for our reprcscn
tation at Vienna. The portion Of the build
Ing allotted to the United States Is said to bC
altogether the most prominent and couvc
nient. The number Of exhibitors from thl,
country far exceeds In every branch Of In
dustry and art the number represented at tn,
Paris Exposition. The reports Of our practl
cal and scientific experts will bo looked TO
with peculiar interest.

\ paragraph appeared in the Star Of last
evening In reference to the confirmation OF
Col. Casey as collector Of the port Of New
OrlcanH, In which II was stated that Mr.
West, the only Senator representing Lou
i-iana, would oppose his confirmation on the
ground that "Col. Casey and his friends were
inimical 10 the Interests Of the scuatsr and
the hest interests Of the Republican party In
that State" II is possible that Col. Casey
may be inimlcal TO the interests OF Senator
West, or that the Senator, through q failure
10 secure all the patronage ho desires or be-
lieves himself entitled TO, may think that Mr..
Casey is not as friendly as he might be; but the
statement that Cabcy's confirmation will not
cOnduce to the best Interests Of tho party In
that State is entirely void Of truth. II is well
known that Colonel Cascy has been one Of
the most active and jealous Of the leaders Of
the Republican party ln Louisiana, and when
Senator West was waycripg between Grant
and Greeley, Casey was actively engaged or
ganizlng the Republicans of that State, and
to-day enjoys the confidence and respect Of
the masses OF the party as one Of Its most
trusted leaders. II is matter Of record that
Scuator West was elected to the Senate Gu
tirely through Warmcth's influence, and iu
fact II was claimed before Scoheld's invosti
eating committee that Senator West wa
the alter ego Of Warmoth In the scnat,
Of the United States, aud that War
moth had his resignation In his poke
to accept at any time he (wesD failed K
represent him as he desired This statement
il Is true, was contradlctcd by Gov. War
moth, but Governor Flanders and othei
equally responsible gentlemen testified to th,
fact that blank resignation was a condition
precedent to an appointment to any impor
tant ONCE in Warmoth's gift. Now, II War
moth and his adherents arc TO be considered
the Republican party of Louisiana, ii Is yer!
certain that Col. Caseys confirmation viii
not In any way conduce to the promotion o
their Interests But We think the Senate ha
had enough Of Gov. Warmoth and hi
friends, and is in no humor to enter now int
an investigation Of the Louisiana troubles.

THE NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF

The confirmation Of the nomination, as well
as the selection itself Of ex-senator Sawyer,
Of South Carolina, to the Assistant Secretary
ship Of the Treasury will meet with the
waTmest approval OF all true Republicans
throughout the South, Of which section Mr..
Sawyer has proved himself most worthy
representative In the senate. Iu our news
columns detailed sketch Of his career was
published, and the readiness with which the
confirmation was made, proving the truth Of
the above remark, was mentioned.
The suspicious and scandals which at times
have been Observation-Disclosures unjustly-to
the names Of some Of his Southern colleagues
have never been whispered about Mr.. Sawyer.

record Of which the old Palmetto State in hci
palmicst days might have been justly proud
Ills talent and cultivation did much to I'D
vance the educational Interests OF his Stat,

his executive abilities, added TO n long ex

The progress Of manufactures In the Dis
trict Of Columbia Is so slow as to 10 almost
imperccptible; but that there is some progress
is shown by the census tables. For instance,
In 1850 the number Of eSta ablishmcnts In the
District vas il3, employing $50 hands.
The capital invested amounted to si,OOl, $40;
wages to s757, SSi, and products to ss, ,6gO, 2Ss.
In 1850 the number Of establishments was
40; the number Of hands employed, 3,i4S;
capital invested, s2, ,9O5, 1856; wages, 81, ,lS9,.
l54; aud products, s5,4l2, lO9 The progress
that We have made during the last ten years
is shown by the following figures: Number oi
establishments, 0S2; number Of hands ON.
ployed, 4,6s5; capital invested, s5,O2i, Gas;
wages, s2,OO7, coo; and products, 90, 29a, l73,
In other words, the products Of the District
have more than doubled during the ten years
ending 1870, as compared with the period
ending with 1850.

The smut,y Nose Island Murder.

PoRTsMouTH, N. H., March 8.-The
Sheriff and Solicitor Of York County have
been here, and virtually decided smutty
Nose Island to be In Name, by assuming
charge OF the proceedings in the Shoals
murder case this morning. They viewed
the scene Of the murder, and will bring in
the bodies Of the women for burial.
Wagner will probably be examined and
arraigned at Taitery and taken to Jail.
The clock at Mrs. Hontvets house was
knocked of the shelf in the melee and
stopped about one o'clock. The wound
ed and halt frozen woman, Mrs Hontvet,
has Just been taken TO the station house
and confronted by Wagner. She is Ger
tain he is the murderer, though 1t was
dark when he struck her, and she only
saw his back through the window when he
was numbering her sister outside. The
daughter of Mrs. johnson, where Wag-
ner boarded when in this city, was also
present, gave strong, clear evidence
against him, though nothing decisive.
She talked to him severely and told him
he was not at homo between Wednesday
evening and Thursday morning. But he
insists that he was lying drunk in one Of
our streets until three o'clock, and then
went home and to bed.
The bodies of the murdered girls were
brought 10 this city this afternoon and
a medical examination made. The hand
kcrchiel found tied around one woman
has been identified as the one given wag'
ner by girl hero recently. Wagner
