Correcting a False story.


false and Injurious impression OF Wash
ineton life is conveyed in the careless state
ment Of a contemporary that "every ono who
has occasion 10 pass along tho streets OF
Washington is annoyed by beggars who are
obviously imposters. SickoninG deformities
are thrust under the eyes OF passengers, and
lachrymose humbugs as able OF body as any
laboripgmen are met at every turn" There
are few street beggars, and very few compara-
lively, in this city. ordinarily pedestrian
might pass along the Avenue from
the Nayy-Yard to Georgetown
without being 'annoyed" by mendicant Of
any description. 1t Is very rarely that "slck-
ening deformltles are thrust under the eyes
of passengers" and 1t 10 only In a vivid lmag-
ination that "lachrymose humbugs are met at
every turn" We know of no other city as pop
ulous as this in which street begging is not
more common than here. What there Is OF 1t
should be abolished by putting the e-bodied
into the workhOuse and making provision for
the helpless. But there is no occasion for pre-
senting so repulsve picture OF street life In
the Capital as the one above quoted.

Death of Cnptain Hughes.

Captain d. w. Hughes, late clerk in the
Adiutant, Generals Office, and formerly a
clerk in the Surgeon Generals Office, died
at Providence Hospital on Saturday after
noon, at 2 o'clock, of consumption. Captain
Hughes was a gallant and distinguished
officer of the late war, and became con-
spicuous from the fact that to him was en-
trusted the famous order from General
Pope to General Fitz-John Porter. Captain
Hughes was an important witness in the
courts, martial. Dan" as he was Gamil,
iarly called by his friends, was whole.
souled and generous. Domestic troubles
for several years past had worried him,
which, together with exposure brought on
his untimely death. A large circle of
friends mourn his loss

thieves entered the residence of Mr.. George
L. Gulick, the wcll-known grocer, on New
