WAsHINGTON. Jan. 6

WASHINGTON, Jan. b.
|. It appears that the claim made for the
coin Of the Richmond Banks covered
into the treasury is now presented by
VIM. B. Isaacs & Co., Of Richmond, who
in 1871 purchased the claim. The assets
of the Bank of Virginia and the Farm.
ers' Bank of Virginia were sold by order
of. the United States Court in 1871, and
the coin and bullion covered into the
treasury were considered as. part of the
assets. The history Of: this coin and
bullion is quite interesting. On the day
Richmond was evacuated by the Confed-
crate forces the coin and bullion; amount
ing to about $3.50 900, was loaded on one
of the last trains leaving that city and
sent to Abbeville, sc. From that place
it was transported in wagons to the town
-of Washington, in Georgia.
/ In May, 1866, the banks obtained from
Gen. Patrick, then in command of the
United States troops at Richmond, per-
NIT to bring their property back. Seve.
iral of the officers of the banks went to
Washington and started back with their
treasure. When about, eighteen miles
from Washington, it is stated, they were
met by rowing band of x-Confedefate
soldiers and relieved of $3.50, 900. The
remaining 5000, 900 was safely carried to
Richmond and delivered to the banks.
Of the, stolen $259,000 about 100000
was subsequently recovered and taken
back to Washington, Ga. In July the
agents of the banks made another at
tempt to remove this money, but Gen.
Wild, in charge of the freedmen's bu-
reau, objected, and said he would take
possession Of it for the benefit of that
institution. They then appealed to Gen.
Steadman, in command of the depart
ment of Georgia, who. overruled Gen.
Wild. By the advice of Gen. Steadman
it was then taken to Augusta as safer
place than Washington. Gen. Wild,
however, sent word to Secretary Stanton
and others about it. Just as the bank
officers we're starting from Augusta, with
q permit from Gen. Terry and safe
conduct from, Gen. Steadman, a special
treasury agent arrived with orders from
Mr.. Stanton to transport the coin and
bullion to this city, where it was placed
as special deposit in the treasury. The
banks then made application here, and
after full consideration President Jchn-
son, upon the advice of Attorney Gene
1 raj Speed, ordered the Secretary of the
Treasury to turn it over to the banks.
Gen. Spinner, then Treasurer, delayed to
comply with this order, and went down
to the capital personally and procured
the passage of joint resolution through
both Houses, ordering the whole amount
to be covered into the treasury. The
resolution was referred to no committee
but passed both Houses the same day il
was introduced. Gen. Spinner then inn
mediately sent the bullion to the mint'
4 to be coined, in order that all trace OF it
/ identity might be lost.

On the Democratic side some member
and Senators are not averse to an inves.
tigation, but they say they will insist on
its being thorough and directed to all
sides and parts Of the matter in contro-
,versy. They believe that If everything
which was planned, proposed or negotia-
ted on the Republican side between the
election in November and the 4th OF
March following could be uncovered,
while nothing compromising Mr.. Hayes
would be discovered, some of his bitter:
est Republican opponents would be
placed in very embarrassing and equiyo.
cal positions before the country. A real
investigation, it is urged, must include
Florida as we'll as Louisiana; must cover
not merely the period of the returning
board acts, but that of the subsequent
struggle in Washington, and must in.
clude not only negotiations in New Or
leans and Tallahassee, but here in WASH
ington, d. all kinds and. for various pur.
poses connected with the Presidential
count.
s 1t is asserted with some confidence that
an attempt to institute an inquiry will
be made by the Republicans in the
House, out what the precise nature of
the movement will be is as, yet hardly
determined on. It is pretty certain,
however, that considerable number of
Republicans would like to bring about
at least a partial investigation of the
Presidential struggle, and few perhaps
would think it to their advantage to have
complete uncovering of all parts of
that struggle in the. hope that the Eeve..
lations thus made would kill off several
Presidential candidates. -
SENATOR PATTERsoN's ABSENCE FROM
2 HIS SEAT AND IT'S EFFECT:
It is not probable that Senator Patter-
son, of South Carolina, will resume his
seat in the Senate this session. ! His
health is still precarious, and when he is
strong enough TO- travel he will seek con-
genial scenes in. Pennsylvania. The
question is raised whether Mr.. Patter-
SONS absence would affect the vote of the
side OF. the Senate. 1t isca
courtesy usually accorded TO- Senator
absent on account of sickness for some
member of The opposite PARTY to pair
with him on all political questions. Mr..
Patterson would hardly ask Democratic
Senator to Dc this, and his absence would
render the presence of all the Republic
can Senators necessary to seizure ma
jority. = -, 80 80

ment Offices will be 80 great as to make
the work of reform easier everywhere.
It is for this reason, and not out of hos
tility to Senators or other persons, that
he has sought to place the New York
custom.house in new hands. He is said
to disclaim very positively hostility to
any one, and believes that a public officer
ought never to allow himself to entertain
such feelings. Having no personal ends
or ambitions of his own, he is desirous
only to do his duty to the country, and
he believes that whatever temporary
effect MISREPRESENTATION and misconcep.
tions may have in the long run, the
American people are sure to recognize
fidelity to their interests and welfare,
while all experience shows that they
pardon errors in minor matters, if they
are convinced that the purpose has been
to serve them.
1t follows from all this, if he is correct
ly reported, that the President has no in
tention to change his policy in any re-
spect, and it is regarded as certain BY
those best informed that he will make
no change in his. Cabinet either.
CURRENT RUMoRS OF INVESTIGATION
As the time for the re-assembling o.
Congress approaches rumors thicken o.
intended investigations. 1t is said, fol
instance, that an attempt will be made
| in the Senate to declare Senator Buffers
seat vacant, but there is little foundation
for this report. The Senate has held OF
several occasions, notably in that of
Kansas Senator, that once admitted tt
his seat Senator cannot be removed ex
cept by expulsion, which requires two
thirds vote. 1t is said, also, that Repub
licans will introduce in the House a res
olution investigating the Louisiana cleo
tion, the action of the returning board
and all matters connected with it. It'll
doubtful whether the House would con

Russia's explanation Of the presence Of her
mission at Afghauistan is perhaps offered on
the principle that poor excuse Is better than
none. III the mission was determined upon at
different time and under different circum-
stances, why could not the decision to send 1t
have been reversed when the circumstances
changed? The dispatch of an embassy to
Cabul, after agreeing to renounce all political
influence In Afghanistan, is not excusable as
an act OF courtesy to the Amer" AS the
object for which 1t was sent has now been &C.
complished, it Is probable that Russia's con-
science will be quickened as to the binding
force of existing engagements, and that the
mission will be withdrawn.

The revolution in Colorado failed to come to
time There seems to be no doubt that the re-

gresham, and the legislature, which is to
choose United States Senator Patterson,
the democratic candidate for Representative,
who was beaten in the election for the last
House, but was seated over Beiford By par
tisan vote, deserves the defeat which he has
received. AS the republican party in the 8 tate
did not take the same bold stand on the cur
rency question as their brethren in Maine, the
result is not so conclusive an indication of the
greenback strength in the locality But the
third party is never likely to be strong among
the producers of gold and silver bullion and
those connected with them.

The frightful condition of things on our
river 'front.' as described In THE STAR a few
days ago, is naturally attracting good deal
OIL attention in various quarters. No more
than the vital Importance OF the case dema ndS
however. The picture was most repulsive
one. as most readers may remember; but that
it was not oyerdrawn is abunda1tly demon
strated by the evidence in another column of
today's paper, furnished By gentleman
July competent to speak intelligently on the
subject. This correspondent, it will be seen,
Charges Furthermore that much OF the Diff
Guilty in the case is caused by the action of
certain contractors who dump their dredgings
in the mouth of the Washington channel, thus
ObStructing and turning aside the current,
which, il not interfered with aud changed in
this way, would carry down the river great
part if not all of the foul deposit now lying
dormant in front Of the city to breed disease
and death in our midst.
This charge. we may add. seems almost too
terrible to be believed but whether it be true
or not, or from whatever cause the nuisance
arises, it is clearly apparent that Washington
owes her exemption from fatal ScOnrge last
summer entirely TO good luck, or rather to the
mercy of Heaven, and not TO the care and eff
forts OF those in authority. But because this
agency has carried us safely through the late
clusively for immunity in the future. Nature
does not allow her laws to be continually yio-
lated or ignored without exacting penalty,
and her puVShmentS in such cases are apt to
be both certain and severe, as the sad history
OF many southern town bears testimony 1t
Is too much. therefore, to hope to get through
another season without peStilence, unless
the whole reeking mass Of filth and poison is
entirely removed before next summer. Aud
In this view of the case it is hardly less fortu-
nate that this hot bed Of disease has been ex.
posed In time for effective action than that
we have thus far escaped the natural results
OF its existence. But while there is ample time,
II vigorous efforts be made, there is not mo-
meDt TO lose. Prompt and energetic steps
must be taken to remove every vestige of this
siekening deposit before the hot suns of next
summer quicken it into active poison, or
washington may expect to be visited with a
pestilenee as sweeping in its character and as
1atal Id its effects as that now carrying away
whole populations in the southwest Fore
warned IS forearmed. Let our authorities be
wise and active in time.
