Affairs.
From the Louisville Courier-JOurnai.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-TheprOgamnle
Of lhe investigation of District affairs, pub
Iished to-day as having been adopted by
the Joint committee Of Congress, seems TO
be gotten up in the interest of Shepherd i
Co., and there is positive authority for
stating that it is wholly incorrect. The
members of the committee say that they
will 90 TO the bottom Of the thing, and fol-
low up important facts. The speech OF Alr.
Dawes yesterday is regarded to-day as very
damaging to the ring. Every artful effort
is made TO corrupt COngreSSmen. one OF
these gentleman, who is regarded as likely
to oppose the ring I'm Congress, was told
the ether day by an applicant for olIce
that his influence with Shepherd was equiv
alent TO an appointment by the Board of
Public Works. The dinner, supper, ball
and wine card business is as ineXhaus.iDg
as the outlets of hungry bucolic Congress
men. and there is no doubt that the re-
membranes of those festive experiences
will plead trumpet-tOngued for Shepherd,
at this critical time. The WdSJiRgtOR
Chronicle, which by some mysterious pro-
cess lately became the creditor of tie
Board of Public Works for $4,000, is out
to-day in a calumniOUs article assailing
Mr.. Corcoran, in connection with the
Washington Patriot newspaper, represents
ing that he and Tweed were chums in il.
ownership. The truth is that about tlE
time Tweed's villiany came TO light his in
terest in the Patriot was voted here by the
tools Of the ring. and the paper was about
to be wholly converted to their base pur-
poses. In this juncture Mr.. COrcoran and
his friends put up the money to buy out
Tweed, and thus cot rid of both rings at
once, thus killing two birds with one
stone, and that is what's the matter. The
fury and violence Of the ring organs dis
gust Congressman, and show the straits to
which their masters are reduced. 1t is
probable that the committee, among other
things, will make full expose of the
public money used by the ring to subsidize
and keep alive these District organs.

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Immense Sums Paid to IDfOrmers
and Government Officials.
From the st. Louis Republican

From the st. Louis Republican.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I2.-The Treasury
Department is still very much constipated
in its revelation concerning the SandbOrn
contracts. The facts already given cut and
sent in the regular report, like Gen. But
ler's personal explanation the other day,
are pUrpOsely calculated TO divert the pub
lie mind from the real point at issue. 1t is
not believed that the Treasury Department
ever will adequately respond to the reSolu-
tiOn Of the House. because il cannot do so
without revealing fraud in an aspect of
which the country is IS yet entirely iGn0-
rant, and for which the country is probably
quite unpTepared. 1t is this: The law
was passed and the contract made under
pretence of collecting taxes on property
which has been unlawfully concealed from
assessment for the collection Of which
mOiety was set apart for the favored con-
tractor; but in point Of fact the mOieiy has
been extended 10 taxes upon which there
was no concealment or evasion Of the law.
In o, her words, SandbOn, Elbart and Sheir
associates have been for a long time en-
gagged in collecting and retaining the mole
ties upon regular taxes, which could as
well have been collected by the regular Of
ticialS who are employed upon salaries.
The practice of contractors has been to col
lect their taxes, which might have been
regularly collected in tie first place, and
then, after deluCting the moieties. turning
the balance over to the regular collectors.
II this statement be correct, and il is well
backed up, it manifeStiy ineUlpateS the
highest officers Of the department, with
out whose knowledge. not 10 say cOnni-
vance, no practice of this sort COuld 90 on
beyond any monthly return Of the reg
ular collectors. The evident reluctance
of the department 10 paticularize in
this matter is of itself circumstance con-
nrmatory of the reports above cominuni-
Gated, which come directly from members
of the United States grand jury in New
York, which has had cognizance Of the
matter.
Mr.. Douglass, the commissioner, strenu-
ouSly asserts his own innocence OF colluSio!i
in any business of this kind, and il IS al
legged that those taxes collected, as above
stated, could not have been turned over 10
the regular collectors without Douglass
finding it out. But that does not signify,
inasmuch as the Secretary of the Treasury
some time ago took all matters Of this and
other special natures out Of the hands of
the commissioner by ordering the collectors
to report such matters directly TO him. But
this, Ii will be observed, is a point not
touched by the Secretary in his recent let
ter of explanation.

WoMAN's s rights has assumed a new
phase in Milwaukee. A woman named
Christine Haak, IN asking for divorce
frcm worthless husband, has exhibit
ed her disgust for the whole male popu-
lation of that city by dispensing with
an attorney, and drawing up q COM
plant without legal assistance. Her
independence has been rewarded by a
decree, and she has the satisfaction of
keeping the fee she would have been
obliged to turn over TO counsel. If
this thing should continue, the divorce
