Especial telegram to the Dispatch.I -
WASHINGTON, July 12.-This afterno DON
there was painful rumor in circulation that
one of the steamers on the river, either the
Mary Washington or the Jane Mosely, had
taken fire and was burned below Alexan-
dria. Both of these steamers went down
this morning with excursion parties on
board-the first with the Island Baptist
Sunday school, and the second with the
Congress-Street Methodist Episcopal Sun
day school, OF Georgetown, and the reports
caused great anxiety to be felt by friends
OF those on board. Numbers Of people Wis
tied the wharves to learn the truth OF the
rumors. One man, whose children were on
the Mary Washington, ran from his work, in
the northern part OF the city, and fell sense
less from. the heat just as he reached the
wharf. In Alexandria the report was as to
the Mosely only, and it caused some excite
ment. A tug-boat was dispatched down the
river to ascertain the facts, and the rumor,
happily, proved to be unfounded. = :
The President is still on the war-path,
and has requested the removal of:several
important officials both here and elsewhere.
Nearly all Of them are personal appoint
ments Of ex-Secretary Bristow. Much dis
satisfaction continues to be expressed at the
summary dismissal Of Jewell Grant has
not yet explained to the exp ostmaster-G
eral why he was decapitated. : a:,
There is now prospect OF an;early adj

members are all anxious to set home, every

-,,,,V -gTY sMELI BURNT RAGS.

The lenstn sod breadth OF this ludlcrous
businses of making Congress an investi-
! <sang committee, divided into minuter
investigating committees, until the whole
thing dwiEdles down to an old woman's
smelling match, is reached when the COM
mittee get dow. to the Government print
ing office Investigation. This institution
is under the capabl. management of Hon.
A. n. Chpp, formerly postmaster, and
one of the most highly respected citizens
of the city of Buff 10, New York. His
name is above reproach, and his reputation
for business sagacity is of that character
which should DO u.auestinnah hy, -ar-
table gentlemen. But one of the numer-
Gus ofshoots of another, offshoots OF the
original trunk of an investigating commit
tee, is after him, and they are bound to
get down to the bottom facts. To do this
they have invited themselves down in
body to the Government printing Office.
Provided with long sticks like elderly
cAitoniers they have gone poking around
among the rags and scraps Of old paper
in the cellar, and after some days talking
and turning over packages in an distracted
way. and looking into boxes and under
printing presses, as if they expected to see
the spectre of sin hidden away in some
such place, have apparently arrived at the
final conclusion, which they might have
known at first, that there is not the least
chance for any stealing in the manage.
ment of this bureau of the Government.
None whatever. Mr.. Clapp handles no
money except what he pays his employees.
He issues no work except on the order OF
Congress and Congressman. lie accounts
Tor every scrap and particle he receives
by report. He does Government
work, in fact, or the order of
the Government, anS outside of this has
his hands entirely tied, SO that they can
always be seen il that attitude If it is
represented thu the subcommittee of the
original compittee, or whatever it may be,
is investigating for the purpose of finding
out what Congressman use, why don't
they consult Mr.. Clapp's books without in
sultins decency by wandering over the
building like detectives in search of q
criminal. Mr.. CApp's high character
should shield him from such reproach.
There is no occasion for it, and it could
only be done by those who sink all gentle.
manly feelings in their. partisan rush for
party advantage. Even they would blush
to impose such suspicious examinations
upon business men, however suspected,
but when it comes to Government official
it seems that they cannot even remember
the decent usages common among gentle
men. An examination into bundles of old
rags and packages of waste paper demeans
only those who enter upon it. 1t reminds
us of the picture Of the old man who getting
into bed near lighted candle was struck
with the idea that he smelt burnt rags, not
discovering that his suspicious were we'll
grounded, and that his own attire was in
light blaze in his immediate rear.

A NIsCONCEPTIoN of terms crept into
our editorial items on Saturday last, which
it may not be amiss to notice. Referring
to the Democratic election frauds in New
York, we inadvertently remarked: Were
the facts investigated, degree of cor
Eruption would be revealed which would
"csuse the boldest of the experts to blush. /"
Now, of course, ii is well known that
"blushing and rascality hold no fellow
ship. Proneness to blush pertains exclu-
sively to such as are wont to have "com-
punctious yisitings of conscience" for
wrong doing, and never appears on the
profiles of hardened sinners like those to
whom we referred. They wouldn't bash
IL they could,

The following testimony Is offered to your

impeaching the veracity of s. 7. Suit, who de.
MED before your committee the statement
which Judge BARLEY testified thai he (suit)
had made to him in relation to NJ. Bristow:
First. The records of the Supreme Court Of
the District Of Columbia Of June q, 1867, show
ing that the said s. I. Suit was indicted for
larceny, which he succeeded in compromising
by paying large sum OF money.
Second. The records of the Treasury De-
partment in 1869, secret service division, will
slow his arrest, after having been fugitive
from justice In Canada, for Illicit whisky trans.
actions, and that he admitted his completely
in these acts, and compromised his offense by
the payment of large amount of money to
the Treasury Department. There are also
other charges of disreputable character
against Suit that are not necessary to be de-
tailed at this time.
Third. To show that s. T. Suit swore to
what was not true when he stated that he had
not been engaged in whisky distIlleries or

CARNEY" CAULFIEID seems to imagine
that the President, Johnnie Davenport and
the entire Republican party is on trial be
fore the Committee on the Department OF
Justice, Of which he is chairman. Instead
of prosecuting legitimate and impartial
inquiry he seems determined to conduct an
er pGrte persecution. The original testi-
mony of Whitley and ex-Attorney General
Willisns before this committee, was given
to the public with Che deliberate intent to
give a false coloring to the facts in the
case, and now that the committee holds its
investigation with open doors, 1t is discov-
cred that the testimony does not sustain
the charges against the President which
were based upon the garbled reports. The
mischief has been done, however, for the
public was deceived to such an extent that
it will take time and trouble to remove the
false impressions that have obtained ground
in the minds of the people.

GOVERNOR SAITH, of Georgia. is of the
opinion that General Bristow or any other
Republican would be unable to carry that
State, if nominated by the Democrats.
The Governor doubtless remembers the
Greeley movement, and how noisy
Toombs, Stephens and Hill behaved on
the stump, protesting against his election.
The fact is, no man can hope to obtain the
votes of Southern Democrats but rebel
general or a Northern doughface. No
man who favored vigorous prosecution
of the war for the maintenance of the
Union could under any circumstances
receive the support of the Gordops.
Lamars, Hills and Toombs Of the South,
for the simple reason that they believe
sIee was cheated into surrender" and

schemes Of disintegration would be happily

Supreme Court in a well-known appeal
