THE secret service bureau of the Treasury
Department is just now under a cloud. Its
chief or ex-chief Col. Whitley, is said to be
half concealed like half-convicted criminal
in Boston, client, of Gen. Butler, having
forfeited his word and honor to appear in
court at Washington last week. One of his
assistants, Nettleship, has for several years
been clerk in the New YORK custom house,
but most of the time employed in working up
"cases" for which he has been paid specia lily.
Sometime since he was sent to Washington
to "work up'' the district safe burglary. He
charged $500 for the job and left it beauti-
fully mixed. Another party took hold of it
under Mr.. Bristow and now it turns out
that this secret service man Nettleship was
one Of the burglars.

The Next Congress.

When Congress adjourned last June, it
looked as though the Democrats might sue
coed in electing majority Of the new Con-
gress, but as the canvass has opened the joy
of these gentlemen appears to be more of a
graveyard task of whistling to keep the cour-
age up, than hope of success, aud the Re-
publicans have become more confident. From
all the advices received at Washington two
estimates have been made of the political
complexion of the next House of Representa-
tives. Ono of these estimates, which is called
the worst possible for the Republicans, puts
the number of Republicans at $50, Democrats,
III, doubtful and independent, 25; total, 1872.
The other estimate, the one usually made by
Republicans, gives the next House thus:
