The familiar trick of criminals to act as
guilty men would not be apt TO do, and thus
avoid suspicion, is now too old to work well.
A shrewd ex-convict has tried it once too Of
ten. The police knew him for an acute rascal,
and when they found that he was confidngly
livins near the Central Office they quickly
suspected BIN. They watched the fellow and
caught him uttering forged paper. Criminals
have reduced their business TO Il science but
the police know the principles of it as we'll as

The PAINFUL mystery as to what vessel was
sunk by the Westphalla Oh Sunday night is yet
unsolved. 1t Is likely to be several days before
the people who had friends on the Nederland
will feel entirely assured that this steamship is
not the one which was struck. The agents of
the Red Star Line are confident that at the
time of the accident the Nederland WIS 900
miles distant from the Westphalia. and every
body will be glad to think as they 10. The
English Channel is always crowded with ship
ing. which includes besides the regular steam
ers for the Bay of Biscay, Spanish, Portuguese
and Mediterranean ports, many "Ocean
tramps." steamers which do not ply regularly
on any route so that it is impossible to make
any probable calculation as to what unfortu-
nate vessel has been lost.

The long expected report of members Oh the
National Academy of Sciences upon the scientific
and economic relations of the sorghum INDUS
try will be printed in the forthcoming volume
of the Department of Agriculture. We give
the main points of it In another
column of this impression. The invesuga-
tons of the committee not only confirm the
well known fact that sugar exists in the
Juices of sorghum and maize, but also prove
that the sorghum yields in its juice, when
taken at the proper stage of development,
about as much sugar as the best cane
of the tropical regions High-gr market
able sugar has been made successfully
from sorghum Juice, and compares favorably
with sugar from true cane or the sugar beet
The effect of rain and frost and various Other
conditions upon sorghum is also considered at
length. Ex-C0mnlssioner LIE Due, from
whom letter will also be found III
the column with the report referred to-,
expresses some wonder that the results of the
committees Investigations were not made
publc earlier-during the past spring or sum
mer. This wonder has been shared by others.
The report, as Mr.. LIE Due says, would have
done the farmers more good if it had been
put into their hands earlier

Bribery Investigation I'm the vir-
riuin LEGISLATURE.

In the Virginia senate yesterday reso-
luton was introduced to enlarge the scope
of tho investigation provided for in reso-
luton adopted few days ago directing an
inquiry to be made into charges against a
certain unnamed officer OF attempting to
corruptly influence votes of members. The
object of the new resolution is to carry the
investigation back to the session of 1s79-'S0,
in regard to which rumors of corruption are
also current. A long and spirited discus
sion arose over the resolution, which was
finally adopted by vote Of 81 to s.
In the course of the discussion Mr.. Rid
dleberger, who objected to burdening the
committee with any other inquiries said
that in the investigation originally decided
upon he proposed to prove that senate
officer was used by an officer of the State
government as bribe agent that another
officer of the senate was solicited by the
State officer to become his bribe agent that
two gentlemen, one a financial agent and
the other the manager, were brought into a
room and introduced TO two members of
the senate; that membcr Of the house
was also introduced to this bribe agent and
this manager, and was subsequently taken
into an adjoining room and offered $1,000
for his vote.

Indicted for MansIaughter.

The grand jury of the Court of General
Sessions, who have had before them for tho
past three days the Spuyten Duyvil dis
aster, yesterday returned an indictment
against George L. Hanford, the conductor,
and George Melius, the brakeman, of the
wrecked Albany train, charging them with
manslaughter in the fourth degree. The
grand jury say that they find that the
direct cause of the accident was criminal
negligence and carelessness on the part of
Hanford, the conductor, and Melius, the
brakeman. They find that Edward Stan
ford, engineer Of the leading locomotive,
Archibald Buchanan, engineer of the second
one, and the engineer of the Tarrytown
tain, were not responsible.
They censure Superintendent Toucey and
the managers of the New York Central
Road for not having the cut better guarded
and for allowing too high rate of speed
through it. They advocate the adoption
of some method for car illumination better
than mineral oil, and say that heating the
cars by fire should be abolished, and that
they should be heated by hot air, steam OF
hot water to be conducted into the cars
from reservoir outside. They also con.
denim the practice of giving free passes and
say it should be prohibited by law.
The Evening critic., 1882-02-03

In the RepuJlicdn of this morning appear
statements from Capt. Eads and Hon. II. +.
Page touching the recent decision of the
Interoceanic subcommittee to report ad-
yorsely on the Tehuantepec Ship Railway
project. The controversy itself is of no in
terest to us, but it seems fair to say that if
the committee based its action upon its
view Of the scientific problems involved in
Capt Eads' proposition, it exceeded its juris-
diction. We do not understand that Capt.
Eads submitted the question of the physical
feasibility of his project to Congress at all.
On the contrary, his bill expressly pro-
vides that he and those who furnish him
with capital shall take upon themselves
every risk that may be involved in the
question of engineering practicability. He
undertakes to demonstrate that by actual
experiment before the guarantee of the
government shall take effect. Nothing
could be palmer than the text Of his bill in
that particular. Hence the problem of
engineering practicability is wholly re
moved from the purview Of Congress, and
the only thing to be considered is the pol
icy of granting public aid or encourage
mcnt to project of interoceanic transit
for ships.
If the committee mean by their report to
declare opposition to that policy at large,
we can understand them, and there need
be little doubt as to the result of the con-
troversy That the United States must
ultimately promote and aid a project of
intoroceanic transit for ships is, to our
mind assured. Whether the aid shall be
bestowed upon ship railway or ship
canal, traversing the Tehuantepec route or
that Of Nicaragua, is o question that we
viii not now discuss.
Our object is simply to enforce the propo-
sition that it is The true policy of the Gov
ernment to aid such an enterprise, and
that, therefore, it is the duty of Congress
to give every project coming from re-
sponsble source and submitted in practi-
cable shape a fair hearing and q deliberate
Judgment.
If Capt. Eads project is visionary" as
Mr.. Page asserts, it should be borne in mind
that his bill expressly and with great care
provides that he and his financial associates
shall incur all the loss that might result
from an engineering failure. We have no
interest in the matter, except as concerns
the question of public policy. We have
never advocated any particular project
and do not now.

Investigating the New York Fire.

At the investigation before Fire Marshal
Sheldon in New York yesterday Alfred L.
Beach, tenant in the burned building,
swore that on Monday evening he told Mr..
Potter and his son Frederick that he smelled
burning wood. They found the walls over
4 new hue very hot, and Mr.. Potter showed
witness where burned beams had been cut
out of the chimney. Mr.. Potter refused TO
send for fireman to remain in the building
that night with hose ready, saying there
was no danger. The next morning the fire
broke out. John ID. Cheevcr, of the Belt
ing and Packing Company, testified that he
noticed the heated walls ON Saturday. and
notified the Home Insurance Company to
make an investigation. The evidence is
not completed. Coroner Herman has Sc
lected the following gentlemen TO act as
Jurors on the inquest as to the cause of the
fire: Ex.Mayor Edward Cooper, Robert l..
Darragh, builder; Gopher Mills, merchant !;
Adolph l.. Sanger, lawyer; Jackson S.
Schultz, merchant; Mark Eidlitz, builder
Andrew Martin, grocer; Jonas r. Gold
smith, butter. dealer; ex-Alderman Bernard
Kenny, Robert McCafferty, builder; II. b.
Thurber, merchant; James Tucker, builder;
Sampson Wallach, merchant; A. Uhlfelder,
importer, and Ashbel Fitch, lawyer. These
gentlemen are wcll-known citizens.

The Lateral Canal.

The lateral canal which crosses upon the
aqueduct at Georgetown and continues the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal to the Potomac
at Alexandria bids fair to follow the course
of most Of the lines of internal communi-
cation from this District SOUTH and become
overwhelmed with litigation, receiver
ships, &c. A suit was begun by Beach,
Wattles & Mushbaeh, in the Alexandria
corporation court yesterday morning, for
the Alexandria Canal & Bridge Company,
now the lessees of the Alexandria Canal for
ninety. nine years, against the Alexandria
Canal Company, the owners of the canal, to
enforce the payment of an Alexandria
Canal bond for $4,000 of 1866, on which
