CURRENT CAPITAL TOPICS.

an affidavit signed and sworn to by Robinson
since his testimony before the committee, in
which he admits that he never had any idea
that Mr.. Ordway withheld one dollar from
him, and that he was well aware that the per-
son for whom he was a substitute received the
balance of his pay at the time he served on
the watch force.
In the case of John Brent, another colored
ceived all of his pay as watchman, having
left it in charge of Mr.. Ordway, or some of his
clerks in the Sergeant alarms office, was ex-
planned by Mr.. Ordway, and a receipt produced
and signed by Brent, and duly witnessed, SHOW
ing ttata full and compe'e settlement had
been made between Mr.. 0rdway and Brent
after he had quit work on the watch force, and
that Mr.. Ordway had paid him every dollar
that was due him. It was also shown that
Mr.. Fuller, a clerk in the Sergeant Arms
office, had paid Brent at various times money
which he had deposited with him for safe
keeping, and from which he had drawn in
small sums.
The allegation that Mr.. Ordway had used
the clerks in the Sergeant alarms Office for
the benefit. of the market company was COM
pletely disproved, the fact being that these
clerks had exchanged with eacn other when
one was sick, or desired to be absent for few
days, and in some cases had done extra work,
for which they had been paid. In the brief
time allotted to Mr.. Ordway he reviewed every
charge or allegation of official misconduct, aud
proved by documents, and by reference to the
other witnesses, that there was no foun iatiOn
for a single charge that has been put forth
against him.

BRADY's PHOTOGRAPHIC GALLERY.
The New Congressional Groups.

There are thousand and one pictures OF
eminent men to be seen at Brady's, ali of them
possessing positive and peculiar interest, and
the visitor there spends Lis time agreeably and
proftably in the study of his rare collection.
At this time, however, the special object of in
terest is Mr.. Brady's grouping of the members
of thepresent Congress. With great labor he
has taken during the season picture from ori.i-
nal sfttiDgs Of every Senator and member. A!Iof
them are oval in form, and are transferred to
a handsome background of white. The Sena-
tors are placed in the middle of each group,
and the members are arranged around them.
These thirty-seven groups are all framed and
hung, and they constitute of themselves fine
gallery, presenting a most imposing and
splendid appearance. Il is quite impossible 70
overestimate the value of this great work, for
the pictures are not only true ami faithful like
nessCS OF the statesmen representing our va
rious Commonwealth, but they are executed
in the very highest forms of that art of which
Mr.. Brady is our most celebrated master
These groups can be easily duplicated, and one
wOn'd SUPPOSE that every member would have
one TO preserve for himself and children.
Brady has in former years made groups IF
memberS Of Congress, placing them altOget her
in one frame, but nothing like this has ever
DecE attempted before b. any artist, and for
its success the fame and resources OF an estaO
lishment like his are required. The groups
from the larger States of the Union make a
fire display, but the smaller ones are every bit
attractive, and of course as valuable The
collection is likey TO survive beyond the lives

Not a Common Cheat.

A. ID. R0ckafellCH ", hsN -rg narrowly escaped
imprisonment for obtaining money under false
pTetenles, was arraigned before Justice Mills
yesterday afternoon on the charge of being 2
common cheat, under the definition of the
common law, the statutes of the District not
having any provision for such a case. 1t was
conclusiyely shown that Rockafellow was al
uncommon cheat and a man of rare abilities.
whose hardest labor during the past two years
has been lodging creditors. But as he was not
proven q common cheat under the law, whose
transactions affect not only individuals but the
public at large, he was dismissed. Unless he
leaves TIE city with some expedition it is prob
able that the lawyers will put their heads to-
gether and find some charge under which this
public nuisance can be abated
Numerous witnesses were produced IL court
yesterday showing the kind of business in
which ROckafeEOw has been engaged Sew
eral testified to having given or loaned Rocka-
fellow money on the promise that he would
procure them offices. Landlords testified to
his hahitual forgetfulness in paving rcrt
Merchants testified to receiving bad paper for
goods One of RockafelIow's victims pau d
in the midst of his testimony, and stretching
his hand towards Rockafellow, said that that
man reminded him of Solomon's Temple He
had more winding ways than that temple ever
had. He was men Of ingenious mind, more
so than any man witness had ever met before
or ever expected to meet a~ain
Colonel VIM. A. Cook closed the prosecu
ton and read much law on common cheats
Mr.. kellum submitted the case for the de-
tense.
Justice Mills said he did not think that
Rockafellow filed the requirements of
common cheat, and noticed the fact that most
Of the victims he'd approached the defendant
first and asked his assistarce. Il was a mere
matter of legal distinction. It bad Nc. b,cu
shown that RockafeIlow's operations AFT ctel
the general public. He would not ani,naiyert
upon the prisoner, but would leave il to the
public TO form what opinion of him they
might think right. The pri.oner was then
discharged, end, picking up his nat, Sid rep.
tiliously along with his counsel out OF the
