Of everybody that the Investigating Committee

Board of Health, and left that marvellous or
gaDizatiOn comfortably ensconced in Off &c to
enjoy their $4,000 SALARY and incdentals
earned by throwing night-sOil at each other at
their semi-occaslOnal meetings. Doubtless this
was an oversight on the part of the committee,
a. they could hardly have designed to keep up
an expensive concern OF this kind, which, as at
present organized, is about as well cal
culated TO carry out the purposes of its
name a. a quintette Of tom cats. Their meetings
for months have been nothing more than sd
journed wrsngles in which the members have
occupied their time In calling each other liars,

but the fact IL due, most people will think,
rather to the general work Of improvement

prove any currency bill that does not provide
for return 70 specie payments during his ad-

The ''wilted speeiaT' above referred to man
aged on Thursday, however, despite the tenn
perature, TO get of dispatch TO the CONNER
eidI saying hat "when the bill for a new form
Of government was reported the District papers
attacked It fercely and pointed out several
defects, and the shrewd authors OF the bill have
taken advantage of the criticisms to perfect the

OF the bill have incorporated this and several
other good suggestions into bill which was

The news comes OF the death of Cochise,
chief Of the APackes, or Arizona. For man?
years be vas terror to the whites and his
gtrdie was adorned with more scalps than any
other sachem could boast. He had hundreds of
fights with the troops, and on several occa-
Sons was badly wounded and narrowly escaped
capture. Thoroughly acquainted with the fast
nesses Of Arizona and New Mexico he kept tie
federal trOOPsa a, bay for years. Heavy rewards
were offered for his head, but no one was ever
lucky enough 10 secure him. Two years ago
Gen. Howard accepted the mission Of visiting
COchise in his native strOnghoIds being accom-
panied only by single member OF his staff and
; few friendly APaches. The mission was one
OF great peril, as COchise was believed to be
utterly iDplscsbie in his hatred of the whites
After much negotiation COchise consented TO
an interview which took place in an almost in
accessible mountain especially noticeable for
its natural defences. The talk that ensued
lasted for several days, when Cochise, who was
getting old and disabled from his mi any wounds,
solemnIy promised Gen. Howard that be would
heneefOIth keep peace with the whites. This
promise he kept until the day of his death.

MIR. Jefferson Davis may be safely counted
upon TO do the wrong thing at the most apropos
time. Thus before leaving England for Ameri-

holders In LondOn in defense of the old act of
repudistion by Mississippi, that has pretty
fffeetuslly killed all the Great Britainous re-
teIlion sympathy felt for him.

The ways OF the two Houses upon the cur.
reDcy question are truly marvellous. The
House OF Representatives on Saturday by
vote CT los 70 1i5 slaughtered the COM
promise bill that was adopted by the Senate on
Friday by a vote Of 30 to %. And the curious
feature about the hitch is that infistionists and
anti-Inf atiOnists were found voting side by
side for OF against the bill. IL remains 70 be
seen If the new conference will have any better
lick in cObbling up a measure that will run the
gauntlet Of the two houses, and stand q chance
Of getting the Presidents signature.

hunting and smoking. These two diver

pipe in his mouth and gun on his

seemed compatible, but Mr.. Barker is now
otherwise convinced. Seeing bird on

noting an immediate intention OF flying
