A Female Ninlr0d.

A Canada letter describes the extra
ordinary hunting exploits Of Nimrot
in petticoats, who has lately been az
tonishing her neighbors by her bravery
and endurance. Four years ago Mrs
Williamson, who is said to be brigh1
looking, neat, lady-like woman, below
the medium size, conceived an idea that
1t would be q profitable business To
capture young moose and rear them un.
til they became OF q salable age. In the
season of 1873 she, with her dog, made
her first hunt for them, and after one OF
two unsuccessful trips, during each OF
which she travelled from daylight to
dark over distance Of from twenty to
thirty miles, she succeeded in capturing
TIE, and triumphantlY returned home
tured three, and the past season five.
When about five months old, they have
all been sold. The Indians have say
ing respecting moose calves we'll illus
tratinR their rapid development in their
powers of locomotion, which is: some
day old, it takes man to catch them !;
two days old, it takes dog to catch
them three days old, Satan can't catch
them" As an illustration of the kind
Of stuff Mrs. W. is made Of, it is said
that last season as she was travelling
through the forest unarmed she saw an
immense wildcat, which her dog drove
10 the top branches of high tree,
where he apparently felt safe. Mrs. w.,
after vainly endeavoring to dislodge him
with stones and sticks, proceeded to
climb the tree after him. Resting on q
branch below him she tried for some
lime to cudgel him, which only served
10 make him growl and make move
nents as if intending to spring on her.
However, she at last got square blow
It his head, which stunned and brought
lim to the ground, where the dog
speedily put an end to him. Shortly
lfterward a beautiful cat skin was
brought to town. Before the law against
moose killing came into operation Mrs.
v. shared ten large moose, and it was
lot an uncommon occurrence for her to
AXE her gun and shoot eight or ten
at trip.

A French chemist asserts that salt
alone answers all purposes for packing
pork, provided all animal heat has left it
before sailing. No saltpeter should be
nsed. as it induces scurvy. The brine
should be as strong as possible, and cold
water is capable Of dissolving more salt
than hot water.

THE Discussing OFFICER OF THE POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT

Hon. VIM. II. Stone, chairman OF the
House Committee on Expenditures of the
Post Office Department. whose special
privilege it has been during the present
session of Congress to investigate Post
Office Department affairs, recently visited
the Department and informed the Post
master General, in the presence of other
gentlemen, that he was ready to release
the books, accounts and papers Of Col. J.
0. P Burnside, the disbursing officer and
superintendent OF the Post Office Depart
ment, as his committee was done with
them. In reply to an inquiry Of the Post
master General, Mr.. Stone said that he
could certify that the accounts of this
officer, up to the 2G;h of February last,
(the date of the last accounts in his hands,
were all right; and that the appropriations,
vouchers and cash-ail taken into ac-
count-b alanced TO a penny. Mr.. Stone
has informed other gentlemen OF this fact.
So far the investigations of the Post Office
Department affairs have resulted in several
goose eggs being the score. Yet tue
ball goes on, and the money appropriated
to defray the expenses Of this sort of diver
sion being exhausted, the numerous wit
nesses attendant upon the various House
committees are shiuning around among the
brokers and discounting their fee-bills at

That the people of the District may know
exactly the character Of the men chosen by
the Murder Bay convention to represent them
at Cincinnati, We propose to give few facts
concerning their history during the days Of
the Bowen regi"te.
In the spring of 1870 there was no money in
the city treasury to pay the laborers for work
upon the streets, but, as it was important to
have them employed, the ward commissioners
held q meeting, and it was arranged that the
work should 70 on, and that the men should
be paid in orders signed by the respective COM
missioners. A. NJ. Green, variously known as
t.Professor Green, "Resolution Green," &c,
Sc., was at that time assistant commissioner
and tine keeper Of the Fourth ward. When
John ii. Crane was removed from the commits
sionership of this ward Mr.. Crowley was made
al tHftriIa commissioner until Morris Murphy
was appointed aud confirmed. Green had
been with Crane, was retained by Crowley and
remained under Murphy. lie virtually man.
aged the entire business during Crowleys ad
ministration, and when Murphy assumed the
duties Cf commissioner it is said he failed to
turn over one of the order-bocks prepared for
the issuing of the orders above referred to.
These orders were bought up by various
parties, among whom was Colonel Waller,
who was at that time bailif of the Criminal
Court. Colonel Waller, upon comparing some
of the orders in his possession with Mr.. Muir
ply, discovered that they did not correspond
with the stubs in his order-book, and Murphy
at once pronounced them forgeries. Some OF
them were drawn.in behalf of "a. VI. Green"
and, II we are not mistaken, some were drawn
in favor of other parties. The fraud was
very transparent, for the name Of the eommis-
sioner was spelled "Maurice, whereas he al
ways signs himself "Morris" Murphy.
Murphy was, OF course, very indignant, and
discharged Green at once. He went to Bowen,
who then mayor, told him the whole story,
and announced his intention of prosecuting
Green for forgery. Some of the holders Of the
forged orders were also disposed to proceed
against Green criminaiy, 1t is said. Bowen,it
is represented, begged that Murphy would re-
frain from prosecuting his henchman, as they
were Just on the eve Of an election, and he and
his supporters had all the load of odium they
could carry. Pressure was also brought to bear
from other parties, and the whole matter was
squelehed.
Some of these fraudulent orders We believe
were satisfied by stopping Green's pay; others,
we understand, were not paid by him for
years, and some are still RnPaid. One that

In ANOTHER COLUMN will be found
letter addressed to the District Commis
sioners by Colonel 7. Lubey, the Commis
sioner of the Washington Asylum, in re-
gard to the establishment of q House Of
Reformation for Women in the District of
Columbia. Like all other documents ema-
mating from this official, the recommends
ton has the impress of practicability upon
its face, and should meet the helrty ap-
proval of the Commissioners and of citi-
zens generally. All agree that such an
institution is one of the necessities of the
District, and when it is shown that it can
be inaugurated under the direct control Of
the municipal authorities at such small
outlay, the universal demand will be to be-
gin it at once. The grounds and buildings
suggested for the purpose are convenient
and commodious. and can easily be spared.
The sum named is comparatively small,
and the good to be accomplished great If
the Commissioners take this matter in
hand at once, and secure the necessary
legislation and appropriation, they will be
doing a good act, and one which will not
only rebound to their credit, but prove
benefit to the helpless outcasts, and add
another to the many good institutions of
the District. Let the trial be made.

JUe-HANDLED 1NvEsr1eArIoNs.

The policy" of the Opposition in the
coming campaign is now fully developed.
1t rests on the single purpose of overwhelm-
ing the public with a perfect avalanche of
er parte statements regarding the transac-
tions, official and otherwise, of Republican
office holders. The method by which this
avalsnche is being prepared is as plainly to
be seen as the MONDAY sun. The several
investigating committees of the House, un-
der the control of Democratic, exConfede-
rate and Dough face chairmen, scrape the
scums of political filth for evidence of the
kind they require, admit statements of inter-
ested parties, disappointed contract-seekers
and soreheads generally, and give eager ear
TO bearsay ISLANDERS or vague rumors. This
batch of accumulated calumny is doled out
to the public in dribblets through the COL
umns of the Detective Press every day, in
the hope that the lies it contains will have
the effect TO make public sentiment against
the Republican party before the counter
acting influence of the truth can be assert
ed. In other words. the Democratic party,
as represented in the present House, has
simply disgraccd and degraded. itself by
voluntarily becoming great national SLAM
der-monger.
And what are the Republicans of the
House doing to Offset all this! Nothing
absolutely nothing. This journal, aided by
few others of equally intrepid devotion to
party principle and the cause of good gov
ernment, has succeeded in unrarthing un-
doubted Democratic rascalities which have
turned the tables, so to speak, against our
opponents in the public estimation; but with
the exception of the Republican minorityin
the War Department Committee, but little,
if anything, has been done in this direction
by the Republicans in the House. So far
as we can learn, Republican committee
men are too apt, pending the examination
Of witnesses, to keep quiet, and, instead of
subjecting witnesses to rigid cross-exami-
nations regarding the motives inspiring
their testimony, they permit er parte state
ments to. go-or the records without even
the shadow of a protest. The result will
be that, at the Government expense, for
the House caR order documents to be
printed at the Government printing Office
without limit, hundreds and thousands of
volumes of this worse than trash will soon
be prepared for public distribution. 1t is
true that discerning public will soon be-
come nauseated at the dose about to be ad-
ministered, and the people are intelligent
enough to discriminate between slander
and the truth; but is it not advisable that
the antidote shall be given with the bane?
Let the Republicans of the House see to it
that this jug-handled way of giving one
side of the story to the public is broken up.

While these orders were for small amounts,
we understand that the forged ones aggre-
gated between two and three hundred dollars.
If the above statement is true. and it is said
that sufficient proof can be adduced to sub
stantiate the material points, it will be seen
that one Of the parties elected by so-called
Republican convention was guilty ef crime
which would have consigned him to the peni-
tentiary if he had been prosecuted therefor,
and that the other knowingly aided in screen
ing him from the consequences Of his guilt and
in hushing up the matter.
If Mr.. Bowen knew of Green's alleged GRIM
inality at the time the offense was committed,
it is not likely that his memory is so brief that
he has forgotten it at this time, and the fact
that he is willing to be associated with him as

sisted in his election, brings to mind the old
adage, "birds of feather" &c.
