particular about his washing, the other
day wrote a note to his washerwoman
and one to his girl, and, by strange
fatality, put the wrong address on each
envelope and sent them off. The wash
erwoman was well pleased at an invita-
ton to take ride the next day, but when
the young lady read: If you muss up
my shirt bosom and rub the buttons off
the collar any more, as you did the last
time, I will go somewhere else," she

ticable to advance with infantry owing to
the scarcity OF water. His command
has suffered terribly from fatigue aud
thirst many of his men perishing

considerable number by desertion.
He had to leave his cavalry between
Cerralvo and Monterey. Even with cav
airy his advance will be slow, as water is
to Be had only at long interval, and there
is no forage, The Goverement forces hav-

Diaz carries forage with him his animals
will starve on the way. Diaz issahghine
of success, and his future operations will
be made entirely with cavalry. He has
had no fight, as was rumored.

TRUE BILL.
The grand jury Of The District Of Co
lnnibia to-day returned true bill Of in,
dictmen against ex.Secretary Belknap for
accepting bribes while in Office.
ANOTHER LIE NAILED TO THE COUNTER.
A statement is published to the effect
that Secretary Bristow has suspended the
proceedings against John Buckner, who
was Collector OF Internal Revenue at
Louisville and deiaulted TO the extent Of
100000, because Mr.. Miles, the father Of
Mrs. Bristow, who died recently, leaving
Mrs, Bristow a handsome legacy, is on
the bond Of The defahlter. Upon this
subject tho Treasury books show that
John F. Buckner has for several years
past been Collector Of Internal Revenue
Tor the Fifth District OF Kentucky. He
is not A. deiaulter for 100000 nor
any other sum, but during last
his then cashier, Jackson,
robbed him OF s65,3OO OF government
money. Jackson subsequently commit
ted suicide. The loss was discovered by
Bristow's officers at Washington before
it was known at Louisville. All Of
Buckner's bonds are on file in the Treas
ury here, and an examination Of them
shows that the late Mr.. Miles was never
on any OF them. The loss is abundantly
secured to the government by the collect
ors bond OF $4,000, the surelies on
which are worth more than million OF
dollars. BucEner has now petition for
relief before the House Of Representa-.
tiyes, endorsed by citizens Of Kentucky

THE people Of Charleston are natural
ly grati6ed over the decision Of Judge
Jackson, at the recent session othis court
in that place, sustaining the validity OF
the sale made in 1861. of 100 acres ad-
joining the town to the Charleston Ex-
tension Company. This land was long
ago divided offiuto city lots and sold, and
has since been bnilt upon by purchasers,
and Of course some Of it has passed
through various hands. To have upset
this sale at this late day would re ally
have been serious blow 70 the interests
Of Charleston. The case was tried here
in the fall Of 1874, and the jury disagreed,
standing six to six, six Republicans for
sustaining the sale and six Democrats Tor
upsettiug it. This may or may not
have been owing to the fact that the case
grew out o. the war. The plaintiff,
Clarkson, went South at thu outbreak Of
hostilities, and remained there until after
the sale. The sale was made in pur-
suance Of an order OF Court passed in
1859, and Clarkson should have known oil
course that he was liable to such a pro
proceeding during the war, inasmuch as
he was in arrears on, account Of the
purchase money. he however claimed
that his interests were not properly
protOcted-that there was shenanigan Ii
the business between the Commissioners
and Col. Ben. Smith, Capt McWhorter, ,ane
others, and that, among them al, he was
sacrificed. Judge jackson reviewed al
the points in his decision land he hal
had the case long time before himl ant

was unnecessary delay in the institution
