WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 1877.
The investigation into the causes
which led 10 the loss OF the Huron, on
tho Carolina coast, has developed a
most remarkable
CASE OF PRESENTIMENT,
which, in brief, is as follows:
Lieutenant Fletcher, who was court
martialad last August for quasi-deser-
trial set up as an excuse for having ab-
seated himself when he knew the ship
was to sail, that he had a presentiment
of his own death if he should remain or
the Huron. OF course the defense was
regarded as a trivial one, and the Lieu
tenant was suspended, fined, etc. And
now for the sequel. 1h less than three
months after his trial the Huron ia
dashed to pieces and nearly all on board
perish in the waters. The fact that
Fletcher had this pr9sen t1ment so strong
as to induce him to desert, Is matter
of record in connection with his trial
and it affords food for thought to those
interested in the mysterious.
THE WAsTEFUL JAPs.
II was thought our civil war was 9
very expensive affair, but, according tt
dispatches just received from our Min.
ster TO Japan, tie Japs can beat US all
blind in spending money. The Sa,suma
rebellion is now ended, and it has beer
in existence just nine months. With ar
army Of only thirty thousand men in the
field the Japanese Government spent
$45, ,0o0, 900, or IS 600, 900 a month.

Matthews because he voted with The
Democrats to confirm Fitzslmmons as
Marshal for Georgia; the fact is, ouI
