WASHINGTON, d. c., 1871.

"GsntleDlen In the discussion of this
question. and in the treatment of the en-
tire case, you will be careful not to com
nit the Government as to the disposition
of what may be awarded or what may
be recovered in the event of the appoint
ment of the Board of Assessors mention
ed in the tenth article of the Treaty. 1t
is possible that there may be duplicate
claims for some of the property alleged
to have been captured and destroyed, as
in the case of insurers and insured.
The Government wishes to hold itself
free to decide as to the rights and claims
of the value of property captured or
DESTROYED. If anything should be re-
covered in the name of this Government,
the distribution of the amount recovered
will be made by this Government, with
out committal as to the mode of distri-
button. 1t is expected that all such COM
initial will be avoided in the arguments
of counsel.

CAMP FIRE.-The Young Mems Chris
tian Association Rooms were comfort
ably filled, Friday evening, to listen to
the relation of Lieut. J. II. Goulding's
experiences with colored troops. The
evenings entertainment commenced with
singing 'Marching through Georgia"
by a quartette, composed of Messrs.
Day, Edgerton, Kingsley and Morse.
After the singing, Mr.. Goulding COM
menced his narration, by speaking of
the difficulty there was in obtaining for
the negroes the right to serve in the
army; of the first colored regiment he
had ever seen, when he was ordered into
service at camp "Wm. Penn" a few
miles north of Philadelphia, of their ex-
celent drill their embarkation on the
sloop "Conqueror )" their good conduct
on board the sloop, when in danger, I'M
til their debarkation, and of their first
camp near Yorktown, near where Wash
ington and CORVALLIS settled their Git
tie difficulty" and where later, Gen.
Grant and Lee settled their differences :;
of their endurance in the march, when
the white regiments would have stray
glers all along the route, they would
come in and every man would answer
roll call; their first skirmish, where they
made a dash and drove the ''rebs' back
and carried off the field three twelve
Founders, and again when the bugle for
retreat would have to sound three times
before the negroes would take the back
track; besides many instances of per-
sonal bravery, altogether impressing us
with the conviction that "the colored
troops fought nobly." The evenings
entertainment closed with the song
"Shermans Boys in Blue" by the quar-
tette. The next Camp Fire will be held
at the same place, three weeks from
Friday next. Story teller; Col. w. G.

THE MISSOURI SENAToRsHIP. Louis
V. Bogy, the United States Senator elect
from Missouri, sends the following com
munication to the New York Herald:
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 8, 1872.
To tile Editor Of the Herald.
Great injustice has been done to our
Legislature by Republican papers, IN
charging that my election as United
States Senator from this State had been
procured by improper means. | wish
you would publish the enclosed report,
taken from the Missouri Republican of
of this date. | think this due from my
State, as well as to me, so as to remove
any injurious impression which may have
been made by partisan press. / claim
it as right that this report should be as
extensively read as the infamous charge.
Yours respectfully,
LOUIS Y. BoGY,
Senator elect from Missouri.
The report to which Senator Bogy re-
fers is made by the Investigating Com
mittee of the Missouri Legislature, and
declare that the committee ''ind no evil
dence, either directly or indirectly, to
criminate the Senator elect, Hon. L. V.
Bogy," and therefore full exonerate him
from the charge of having procured his
election by bribery or improper means.
We fgive, says the Herald, the Senator
elect the benefit of the exculpation the
more willingly inasmuch as he is Mis-
souri, Democrat, and hence the scriptural
teaching in regard to the sinner and the
ninety and nine just men may hold good
in his case.

ONE MoRB.-A man at Lyndonville,
who goes by the name of Capt Wilbur,
received a box by express, marked &C.
0. D., and bill of thirty dollars to
pay on it, Now it so happened that the
Captain was short of funds and could
not pay the little bill so as to get posses
sion Of the much coveted box; and also
claimed that the parties agreed to send
it express paid. The express agent
wrote to New York in reference to the
matter, but could find nothing of the
parties from which the Captain said the
box came, and so he opened the box
and found it to contain, sawdust 1t
was too bad the Captain couldn't raise
the wind and take box, so as to have
suffered to the full extent for his at
tempted counterfeit money scheme.

The Troy Times says that it is cur
rently reported that over sixty thousand
dollars worth of notes discounted for
Cree by the Farmers Bank of Gran
vile was done by the direct wishes of
some of the Granville directors and
stockholders of said bank and that the
amount was secured to them by Cree for
the only purpose of protecting them
against loss for endorsements on Cree's
paper in other places. According TO
this rumor some of the Granville men
who are crying stop thief are secured by
robbing their own bank This was dis
covered at a meeting of directors two
weeks ago. The bank reduced its capi-
tai to 800, 900 to meet this Cree indebt-
edness, thus taking forty per cent. from
each stakeholder. They are taking

Railroad Accident.

RUTLAND, VI. March 30.-An accident
attended with fearful consequences, Oc'
CURED, tonight, to the express train, over
the Rutland 3 Washington division Of the
tho Renssallear & Saratoga railroad, due
here at lao, Sunday morning. II ap'
pears that the surface Of the water had
undermined the track at a place about II
miles south Of Shusham station, and when
the train reached thie point, between
eleven and twelve o'clock, the track ap'
peared TO be all right; but as soon as the
locomotive struck the tre0cherouS spot
the track and ties sank, perclpiLating the
locomotive, baggage car, auu passen'
ger and sleeping coaches of the
track and down the onbankment.
The locomotive went down on the right
hand side forty feet, turning completely
over, Henry Conner, engineer; Patrick
Monahan, fireman; Mr.. Ryan, another en-.
gineer, and Fred Downs, conductor,
were on the locomotive at the time.
Downs and Monahan were instantly kill
ed; Conner had two or three ribs broken
and was considerably bruised, ,but will
doubtless recover; Ryan's injuries arc not
serious, The baggage car and passenger
and sleeping coaches went of on the op-
poslte side Of the embsnkment from the
locomotive, which side was but few
feet high. The cars were badly wrecked,
The baggage car took fire and through
mails were about hall burned up. The
passengers in the two rear cars wero all
shaken up badly, hardly one escaping
without some scratch or brulse; among
those badly hurt Is G. D, German, Lafay-
ette, Indiana, injured in the leg and breast.
The injured ones will all, It is thought,
recover. When the conductor, Downs,
was found he was lying In water and mud
under the casing OF the dome Of the loco,
motive, with his neck broken. Fireman
Monatan was found In tho mud under
the front Of the locomotive and II
was necessary todig some little time be-
fore the body could be got out. Mona
han was out oiling the valves when the
accident occurred. The passengers, and
what was left Of the mails, arrived here
