WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, January 19.-John' G. Ham,
ilton has been nominated by the President
as district attorney for the Seventh Ken
lucky district. .,-....>....... ...t.. sgi
The first half million has been awarded to
Colonel Fades for the ietties- ,l.:,.}s
Before the Committee on Privileges and
Elections Colonel Pelton said he had no
recollection of sending a dispatch to Sena-
tor Kelly that Oregon would be depended
on for one vote. The committee appointed
a subcommittee to examine the kilograms
in connection with the House committee. ~,
The evidence Of Superintendent Bremen
before the Committee on Privileges and
Powers was confined to the manner OF
handling dispatches. He was discharged.
|, The Cabinet to-day had under considera-
ton an official statement from the Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue! saying there is
an immense increase of frauds upon the
revenue by tie illicit distillation OF spirits,
and great difficulty in enforcing the revenue
laws in several southern States, particularly
in Northern Alabama and Georgia and
North Carolina. Great frauds in the manu-
facture of tobacco in North Carolina are
also reported. In order to assist the reve-
nue. officers to enforce the laws, troops are
requested; and after consultation between
the President and the Secretary OF the
Treasury at the Cabinet to-day an order was
sent, by direction OF the President, to. the
General of the army to put the necessary
instructions to the commander OF the De
partment OF the South for that purpose.

from New Orleans, is quoted as sayias:

Mr.. Sherman, after regretting the neces-

Louisiana again, and said he did not know
Dir. Packard, but he had heard him spoken

Mr.. Morton said he regretted to hear the
Senator from Missouri speak as he had
about Governor Packard. He (Mr. Nor
tony was not under any. personal political
obligations to Governor Packard. but he
was somewhat familiar with Louisiana af-
fairs, and he had never heard him spoken of
as man Of bad character either as poll
tician, in society, or in business.
Among the jobs heard Of in Louisiana
during the past five years Packard was
never mentioned as interested in any of
them. He spoke at length OF Louisiana afi
fairs, referred to the difficulties at Me-
chanics' Institute, Couchatie parish, &C.,
and argued that violence and intimidation
had prevailed in Louisiana for years.:

THE BENNETT-MAr DUEL-ANoTHER YER
SION OF IT Ely AN "ETE-WITNEss.'-Ne
York, January 1S.-The Tribune publishes
an account of the Benuett-May duel, which
il says is obtained from an eyewitness.
The account says the first shot fell to
May. II he could kill or disable his
antagonist while the words cone,
two, three" were delivered in rapid
succession by the others second, he was
safe. III he should fail, it would be his
turn to be target for the bullet OF his OPP
ponent. II, however, he fired before or
after the words, he was by the code cow
ard, and in case he killed his opponent, a
murderer. Mr.. May betrayed ncvous-
ness, but when he took his posi-
ton he was observed to be greatly
composed. Mr.. Bennett, on the other hand,
showed no signs OF trepidation either, in
speech or manner. The arrangements hay
ing been completed, the two principals took
their positions at distance OF about twelve
yards apart. The pistols were loaded and
handed to them, and the seconds retired to
one side Then came the question, Are
you ready 90 Immediately, and before the
Zone" could be given, Mr. 'biay raised his
pistol, took hasty aim, and pulled the
trigger. The weapon missed fire. On re-
ceiYing the intimation that it was his turn,
Mr. Bennett raised his pistol, cried scorn-
fully, 81 could kill you now if / wished"
and, pointing it in the air, fired quickly.
The duellists then saluted one another,
when suddenly, to the utmost amazement OF
all present, Frederick May turned and hur-
ried away. No words passed between the
two principals at any time during the meet
ing except Mr.. Benefits remark when he
fred his pistol in the air, and the /" PROPOSE
tons" so often mentioned were mere
myths. AS soon as the form OF the retreat
ing duellist was out of sight the rest OF the
party returned to the railroad station
Uupn getting back to New York Mr. Ben
nett made o stay in the city OF only about
five hours duration. betaking himself as
quickly as possible TO the shores OF Ne"
jersey. Here he remained secreted, his Vale'
attending to his business, and preparing fol
his European trip until Saturday last, whef
he embarked on board the City OF Rlch
mond, with his sister and his valet. Inc
published reports OF the escape were sub
stantially correct, but it was not true tina,
Mr.. Bennett was on, board OF the Hera!o
Yacht for several days. How long he vii
stay abroad is uncertain, but it is probable
that he will remain for a considerable time,
as he il known to have taken thirty trunk;

CoNsrANTINopLE, January 19.-The only
dissenting voice in the Grand Council was
that Of the Armenian Protestant Bishop,

left to the discretion OF the Government.
He,was shouted down, the Council being
all OF the opinion that the Government was
not entitled to decide SO momentous ques-
ton.
s, Midhat Pasha was the principal obstacle
to the acceptance OF the proposals, and the
whole business was rehearsed beforehand
to intimldate the Sultan, who really was
reody to WELD
