Menacing Preparations.

Tho White House and all the depart
mcnts at Washington are connected by
telegraph with the Senate aud the House
of Representatives separately, with II view
TO facilitate the transaction OF public bust
ness. We now learn that within the last
few days, n new line Of military telegraph
has been laid, connecting the War Depart
ment specially with the Capitol. This line
may be regarded rs the extension of an-
other. recently established between the
War Office and the Arsenal, where the
troops and the munitions of war lately
ordered there are stationed.
Congress Is legislatns peaceably. Com
mittees of tho two Houses are striving to
reach a satisfactory mode of counting the
votes for President. There is no excite
ment in Washington, and no probability
Of any disturbance in that community OF
ofiiceholdcrs, claim agents, contractors,
lobbyists, and professional joDbers. Only
two or three iniiammatory speeches have
been made in either House. aud they have
been condemned by both Democrats aud
Republicans.
While this IL the condition of facts n
large force of artillery has been concern
tratel at Washington during the past
month. and it is known positively that
other troops are TO be ordered there within
the next few weeks. When resolutions of
inquiry are offered in the House to ascer-
tam the reason for the unusual presence
Of part of the army and for these military
preparations in The midst Of quiet, Mr.
GARFIELD or some other agent Of GRANT
jumps to his feet with ali bjaction, and
rs two-thrds then become necessary TO
carry the resolution, il Is laid over.
Now, II Is useless to Disguise the meaning
of these various movements. which have
boon chiefly directed by DoS CAMERON.
They fOim part of the conspiracy to
make HAYES President, by force sustain
ing fraud. The pacific assurances aud the
promises OF agreement by those who are
acting under the orders of CHANDLER, Nor
TON, SHERMAN, ana their confcderates. are
only device contrived to withdraw attcn-
ton from the plot, and TO enable the con-
spiratoIs 10 perfect their plans, while the
deceived people are tru, fully looking for

present problems. Let the country not

The Western Board OF state Charities, i'm
portuned to sanction this very bill, posi-
lively refused to do so. The Conference Of
Charities, held in Saratoga last August, was
urged to strengthen tho measure with its
approval. 1t likewise 1atly refused. We
believe that not one Legislature of all the
States and Territories in the Union could
be induced, on full debate, to vote sane
ton Of this proposed law.
Nor is there shadow Of real need for it.
Tho Cunard Steamship Company's sys-
TEN OF receiving and forwarding immi-
grants in Boston can easily be adopted at
every Atlantic port. On landing, the i'm
migrants are housed aud fed at the COM
pany S charge until they leave the wharves.
Interpreters speaking the various Ian
guages of Europe, and employed by the
CUNARDs. are on hand to communicate
with the new corners. west-bound passen-
gers take their departure in railroad cars
starting from tho wharves, where, also,
they are ticketcd to their destinations, and
get their foreign money exchanged.
Everything that is done for the immigrant
at Castle Garden. in this city, is done in
Boston by the Ctnard Steamship Com
pany; and done, as Is claimed by many, in
manner that can be proved to effectually
protect tho stranger from imposition and
trouble when he lands, and to forward him
speedily and comfortably to his destina-
ton. The Allan steamship Company, Mt
its own expense, renders precisely similar
services TO immigrants landing from its
vessels at Portland. That city is not put

York we understand that the agents of
the English, Scotch. and German steamship
lines are ready TO assume the maintenance
of Castle Garden, in connection with the
trunk lines of railway leading out of the
city, aud to do the work heretofore done
by the Emigration Commission.

Protecting scoundrels at Washington

Only Il few days ago, both Houses Of
Congress, bya unanimous voteand without
a single word of dissent. abolished the
Board OF Police Commissioners Mt Wash

plicuy OF that board with gamblers and
other criminals made any defence impossi-

w. j. MURTAGII, the President of the Board,
and proprietor Of the Administration or
gan, TO blast the good name of the Hon.
w. &. WHIrruoRNE, while investigating
the corruption of the Navy Department.
No man on either side dared 10 stand up
and extenuato those infamies. GRANT had
requested the resignation Of tho board.
but he had two reasons for that step.
FIRST, revenge because they had allowed
testimony TO DO taken rejecting upon his
own condSlct in betting at race course /.
and secondly, because he waute ed vacancy
in the Office Of chief Of Police, in order
that he might appoint Guerrilla MosBY to
the place
The board resigned, but GRANT retained
MuRrAGH against whom the public indig-
nation was most excited, and named four
others ~ associates Before they were
commissioned, Congress iuterDo,ed in the
way stated, and that unanimous net was

II this outrage on deooncy was excep-

GRANT was suffering, perhaps, from one Of
