WASHINGTON, May 26.-ln the District
OF Columbia Investigation to-day Chas'
S. johnson, Secretary of the Board OF
Public Works, testified that the minutes
of the board were made up from data
furnished to Shepherd from letters re-
ceived by him, and that they were not a
record of actual board meetings. Charles
d. Barrey, Assistant engineer OF the
board, testified that Certify made all the
measurements Of government buildings
The chief engineer was not blamable for
signing the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by trust
ed subordinates. w. II. Phillips testi-
fed to a conversation with Cluss about a
wear ago, in which the latter complained
! of the manner in which things were
I
managed in the board, and declared his
intention of resigning. He said there
was no board except one man, Governor
Shepherd. The Others were there to dc
what he said. Cluss was then called, and
exhibited vouchers to show that Muilet'
drew 50, 900 per annum, as chief engineer,
and 50. 500 as consulting engineer
while Governor Shepherd TESTIFIED
that Mullett received only $4,000 in gros;
from the board, and by such men, sale
the witness, had been branded as per
iurer. He declared that he had told tht
committee the truth. A voucher wa
exhibited, showing a letter from Shep
herd to Certify, dated July 80, requesting
him to make measurement for Q. Il
Evans. Gertly's certificate of measure
ment, covering thirteen streets, is date'
July 80, and the voucher given to Evan
is dated the 30th. He could only con
lecture that Shepherds letter was wrong

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Committee
on Appropriations have agreed to recon-
mend the following appropriations: For
navy yards Pensacola, $3.50, 900; League
Island, $500, 900; Mare Island, $3.50, 600;
Norfolk, $4,000; and for each of the
other yards, 100000.
The Committee on Expenditures in the
Department of Justice report the &C.
counts are properly kept, and of the
amounts expended but portion of it
had been unproftably spent, as in the
case of most of the other departments
in the unnecessary amount for rooms; in
the purchase of Christmas presents for
subordinates or others, and recommend
that the practice be discontinued. The
committee are agreed as to the propriety
or legality of the government furnishing
horses and carriages for the heads of the
departments for official business, but
agree that such horses and vehicles shall
be used only on official business, and
that the expenditure OF large sums should
not be tolerated, and that the purchase
of portraits out of the contingent fund
should be stopped; that small as the
sums involved are, they are evidence OF
extravaganza, not to be tolerated when
the people are burdened with taxation.
They also recommend that supplies fol
the Department of Justice should be ad
vertised for, and contracts given to thu
lowest bidder.
The President has appointed W. G
Rowell, of Ashtabula, Ohio, Consul tt
Quebec, and Abraham Hoyt Receivero
Public Monies at Santa Re, New Mexico
There is no doubt but that Secretary
Richardson will soon retire, but some O
his friends say he will not until definite
action is taken on the subject of tn,
Sanborn contracts. The President leave
him to fix the time of resignation, ant
will nominate him to fill vacancy OF
the bench of the Court Of Claims, which
he is now prepared to accept, in view o
his intended resignation.
The Committee on Ways and Mean
will not according to the present under
standing introduce their resolution o
censure of the Secretary, Assistant Sec
rotary and solicitor of the Treasury. l
is the impression in official circles tina
Delano will succeed Richardson.

A JOURNALISTIC Victory We are not
in love with the San Francisco Chronicle.
1t has done its best to injure Phoebe and
give our mines black eye, and besides
has other very Objectionable features; but
we must give the devil his due. In in
terviewing and reporting Rochefort, the
Chronicle distanced all the San Francisco
papers. 1t was downright defeat for
the rest of them, and complete journal
istic victory for the Chronicle; of which
it certainly has good reason to be proud.
In view of this it is easy to forgive its
amusing little claptrap about enrolling
Rochefort in its editorial corps. The
Chronicle. however, is nothing unless il
is blowing its own trumpet, which, We
regret to say, is made of the pures'
brass.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

The San Francisco Chronicle repor-
torial staff certainly deserve a premium.
Not only was Rochefort interviewed sue
cessfully and the story of his escape
elected, but he was induced to write his
views on the present political situation
of France. They were published in the
Chronicle, and are as follows:
have been asked if that power which
MacMahon seemed DESTROYS Of arrogat-
ing to himself for seven years appears to
me dangerous to the Republic? As for
myself | cannot tell the projects OF the
President for the time being, who has
one foot in the Orleanist camp, the
other in that of the Bonapartists, and
who, doubtless, regrets that he has not a
third to risk in the camp OF the Leglti-
mists. But that which treasures US, who
are Republicans, is the possibility that
there may arise any day new man to
despoil us of the Republic which we
have created. In my opinion there will
never be enough preteuders in France.
Despots formerly practised willingly the
maxim, divide IN order to rule. 1t
has to-day returned to plague them, and
it is now the Republicans who reign,
through the mutual divisions and disa-
greements of the despots.
Mac Mahon, appointed by the Right, Is
now attacked by the Right. In this par
liamentary battle he has shown himself
as skillful as in others. He has already
| lost his right arm-his left arm ought
to say?-in the person of the Duke de
Borglie. The rest of his body is caught
in the driving wheel, and do not Think
it needs very keen-sghted person &c
predict that ere three months NJ. Mac
Mahon will be able to say of himself IL
the words OF Ney at Waterloo, Come or
and I will show you how Marshal o.
| France can fall.
But it is among those who have los
political power that men DESTROYS Of re-
gaining it are found. After the Legiti
mists the OIieanists and the Bonaparts
we shall have the Septennatists, until
fifth aspirant comes to join the dance.
Our part will then be limited for thu
present to watching these marvellous
simpletons, who honestly believe thu
French nation has been created for thei
personal use. Let us leave them to un
mask one another, and to reproach one
another with simplicity or with crimes

IMPORTANT TO MINERs.-W. W. Curtis,
Acting Commissioner of the General
Land Office in Washington, has recently
passed upon the application of j. P.
Sargent, Daniel Flint and William Flint,
for patent to the Boston Quicksilver
Nine, in Monterey county. 1t appears
from the affidavit of Stephen Hatch that
notice of application for the patent was
published in the Monterey Gazette every
consecutive issue of said paper from
February l. 1867, to May l, 1867. The
Commissioners arithmetic of the case
is as follows: The notice in this case
was published for the first time in a
weekly paper dated February l, 1867
From that date to May l, 1867, there
were only eighty-nine days-namely, in
February, excluding the first day of pub
lcation, twenty-seven days, in March
thirty-one days, in April thirty days, and
May one day; total, eighty-nine days.
In arriving at this result the Commits
sioner is guided by the decision of the
Secretary of the Interior in the case of
the application for patents for the Eureka
and Montana lodes, Utah Territory,
dated November, 1873, it was there held
that "the first day of the publication of
the notice excluded in the computation of
the time required for the publication of
a notice of intention to apply for pat
ent." No reason is assigned for exclud-
ing the first day Of publication in COM
putting the time; but the Commissioner
holds that the failure to publish ninety
days, exclusive OF the first day, invali.
dates the publication and all subsequent
proceedings in the matter. The applica-
ton for patent, therefore, was denied.

The San Francisco Chronicle COM
plains that the Comstock mining compa-
MES will not take out patents with the
condition attached of paying Sutro a
royalty of two dollars per ton. We
should wonder ut their folly if they did,
almost as much as we are amazed at the
sublime brazen-iaced cheek of Sutro, in
pretending to saddle them with such a
ruinous exaction.

SENSIBLE SUGGESTION A cores
pendent of the San Francisco Chronicle
offers the very sensible suggestion, that
free school books be provided for the
pupils of the public schools He says:
We were obliged to have them covered
with muslin, paper, or other stuff within
a certain time; were not allowed to strap
them, and other restrictions we had to
conform to. At different times of the
year our books were examined, and if in
an inexcusably bad condition, we re-
ceived bad marks or other punishment,
and it was surprising to see in what good
condition the scholars of our school kept
their books. AS class was promoted
they gave up the books they had, often
in as good condition as when they re-
ceived them, and the class below them,
as they were advanced, took their prede-
cessors' books. In this manner many
different sets of boys would use the same
| books.
