A DLSREPUTABLE BUSINESS.

A DLSREPUTABLE BUSINESS.
One Of the most disreputable things we
have ever seen perpetratcd under the broad
cover Of an investigation was proceeding
on Saturday by Mr.. Christy, Of counsel fol-
the memorialists, who had prepared long
List of payments from Treasurer Magruder's
report, and had called on the latter to pro-
duce the vouchers for such payments. This
was done, and then appeared the purpose Of
inquiry. 1t was not. Is at first supposed,
for the purpose of affecting specifically any
one of the charges, but its sole object was to
throw mud. He made no charge in regard
to any single. payment but went fishing
through the list with too apparent malice,
wanting to know who receipted for the pay
ment IN each case, who composed the firm,
where they resided, &C.. &c. His ques-
tons were all answered, but failed to bring
any grist to his mill. During the inquiry
he struck draft collected through the bank
ing house of Lewis johnson & Co. "Who
itMr L. ]. Davis, of that firm. and what
relation does he bear to the District govern
mentf" asked Christy. Mr.. Aattingly re-
sponded that he was one Of the commission
ers of the sinking fund, and wanted to know
what difference that made. since the draft
itself showed it was collected for account of
the National Park Bank of New York.
This sort ofthing produced its natural effect.
The committee shortly after resolved to
take the examination of witnesses into their
own hands. -.. go. /,

init the running Of trains. In obedience TO
the call Of the local officers Governor Hart,

VIRGINIA. AFFAIRS,


Preparations fof the hll campaign in the
ncishboring State of Virginia have already
begun, and the public and the press are
engaged in discussing the merits of the
several candidates for Congressional nomi-
nations Notably, the discussion regarding
the Conservative nomination In the Alex
andria district has attracted attention. Gem
eral Eppa Hunton, the present incumbent,
il understood to be candidate for re-nomi-
nation, and q the district is Conservative
by legitimate majority Of between. four
and i've thousand, Il IS probable that he
will be returned, unless some more popular
candidate should be brought out The
friends Of Colonel Mosby claim that he d
the man to upset Hunton's ambitious
schemes, and there b good authority for
the announcement that he win become .
candidate. It il hardly possible that he
viii recalEe tke Conservative A41ni a4ion,
however, And unless he receives the sup
port Of the Republicans Is an independeni
candidate It b evident that he viii be
unable TO overcome that great majority.
He viii, Of course, run a. National
Administration candidate. This Will drive
from him the great body ef the Conserva.
tive vote, and will fail to attract any con.
siderable number Of the Republican vote
