THE WASHINGTON TWEEDH.

There is confusion at Washington among tho
local rulers, something like that Which prevailed
in Now York when tic Tammany 1rauds woro
first uncovered. Tho Governor Of the District,
Mr.. Horny D. Cooke, resigned just bofore the
suspension or collapse Of bis firm In SeptombeE,
aud Mr. 4. r. Shepherd waa appointed in Ills
place. During the term Of Mr. Cooke, the
active management and control Of all local mat-
tors waH intrusted to Mr. Shepherd, WHO had
already won tho title Of !" "DosB," which title has
not coasod to bo popularly applied to linn since
he has become Governor in fact. Two years and
half ago there was pretended investigation
into District matters, but the recent pub
1ication Of the privato lottors OF ut least
two Of the members OF tue Committee dis
credits the whole transaction. Recently, however,
memorial has been >proscntod to Congress-,
signod by forty woll-known citizens, largo prop
erty-holders, and mon OF unquestiouod personal
integrity, asking m investigation Of tho o1pendi
turcs made in the District. alleging fraud and
corruption. Tho memorial is justified for two
reasons. !. Because Congress laa exclusive
Jurisdiction over tho District of Columbia and,
9. Because the local Government ask that Con-
grena aha!l aasumo tue payment Of tue enormous
debt now duo by the District. Another roason
Is, that among tho large expenditures mado in
Washington City. several millions Of dollars
have been directly appropriated by Congress.
The only anawer made to tho memorial is that
somo Of tho Bignors wore seccssonists during
tho War that Mr. ". ". Corcorau, ono Of them,
spout long time in Europe with his daughter,
who waa married to lolatiye Of John slldell

the loss Of property by ahipwreoks at tho Lime

THE DUTIES ON STEEL.

Tho Boston Commercial Advertiser has been
showing lately that tho protective duty on steel.
such as is usnd for edge tools, is oppressive to
tho manufacturers Of those goods, aud 1t de-
mauta that the dusieB on foreign stoel bo re-
duocd. It is affirmed by all tho odge-tool manu-
fucturora TINT American-male steel will not
anssor for their purposes, and that, no matter
what ii COSTS thoy must purchase foreign steel.
English stool now aells In tho United States at
20 cent? por Tnund, while American steel can be
bought for 1871 cents. As the manufacturers Of
edgo tools mrtst have foreign steel, and cannot
uso Tho A1nolican at any price, they insist that
tho duty shall 10 reduced. Before 1872, the duty
on unmanulaoturod steel, valued at lesa than
