FROM THE NATIONAL oAPITAL.
IN AN UNPLEASANT POSITION.

WASHINGTON, July 9.--The Evening
Ssar says: Soon after Secretary Bristow
struck terror into the whisky ring camp,
there were whisperings In the Treasury
Department that some of the prominent
officials, connected with that branch of
the public service, would feel the force
of the blow. subsequently it became a
matter Of open discussion, and it was
alleged that the Chief Clerk of the Trea-
sury Department was placed in quite an
unpleasant position, arising out OF en-
phatic statements made by members of
tho ring, that he co-operated with them
aud received pecuniary assistance from
them. More recently these statements
and rumors were brought officially to the
attention Of Secretary Bristow, or he
has given the matter his personal atten-
tion, and is now, as he has been for some
time. seeking to sift the charges to the
bottom, with the view to establish their
truth or falsity.
The following letter, addressed to off,
cials and clerks, explains itself:

THE SUMMING UP.
| And now. when all the fuss and fnn1e and
feathers have vanished, the question arises mas
a clear majority Of The delegates carried It's Ia
vorite? The county delegates came cooked and
primed, with the belief that their vote would
be law, and yet the minority ruled as with
rod of iron. And why? Simply because they
had the gift of CAB, and knew full well when
and where to pull the reins. 1t is only the OLD,
old farce which the people insist on re-enac-
ting each year, and which must always leave
them shorn of their individuality, and
the servants of few wire pullers. How many
of the county delegates went home satisfied!
Not one fourth, and yet they had it in their
power to nominate whom they chose VIII
they again consent to be thus cheated OF their
vote? We certainly hope not.

THE EFFECTS OF PREACHING.-ln his admi-
rable remarks at the Presbyterian Church on last
Sunday, on presenting the resolutions of sympa
thy for, and confidence in, Rev. W. Il. Baker,
Gen. Echols alluded to the healthy public senti-
ment and material progress of the City as
the result of the harmony and CHRISTIAN
unity in the churches of Staunton, brought
about by the religious zeal and purity OF the
ministers of the various denominations.
At night, DR.. Martin, in the course OF MS
very appropriate and feeling sermon, IN the
Methodist Church, attributed the good order,
and observance of law, here and throughout
the Commonwealth, to the influence OF the
gospel. exerting its silent power over the per-
ceptions, the emotions and the conduct OF the
great mass of the people. Although neither
of the gentlemen knew of the others remarks,
or the sentiment uttered, the striking simlarl-
ty in their conclusions arrested our attention.
and caused us to consider how much society
was indebted for the faithful presentation OF
the cause of religion and the grand code OF
morality, law and good government embraced
in the preached word. The great agent of the
civilization of the Nineteenth century is the
Gospel of Christ. the conservator of public
morals, the promoter of the peace, and unity.
and friendship of society, and the controlling
influence in the establishment and enforce
ment of good government.
| With an elevated religious sentiment perva-
ding community, there follows sensitive re-
gard for personal obligations in business, act
i've energy in public enterprise, and sympa
thetic feeling in the welfare of our fellow-cit
liens. From these material and personal con
siderations. is it not the duty of the people to
literally sustain and uphold the various minis
tries of the city, even as means OF temporal
advantage, apart from the great considerations
which look beyond the mere arrangements ano
plans of this life, to that other existence where
the fruits of the labors here are gathered ano
garnered either to our happiness or misery
