The hill upon which stands tho naval OBJ
servatory is one Of the most beautiful natural
objects in the District of Columbia, aud IL is
the natural continuation and terminus Of the
grand park commencing with the capitol
grounds and embracing the botanical garden,
armory square, the Smithsonian, agricul.
tural, and monumental grounds tho white
lot, and the portion of tho Potomac fats now
in process of reclamation. The high bluff Of
the observatory hill facing tho Potomac
commands fine view of tho river,
and with its shade Of grand old
trees and Its rich carpet of grass and clover
Is decidedly the most strikingly beautiful
spot Of the whole park, and indeed of the
whole district The only link wanting 10
connect this eminence with tho continuous
system of parks above mentioned is about to
be supplied by the reclamation Of the fats.
Let those who have carriages drive to tho
observatory and walk around it to the river
front Let those who havc.not take the ave-
nue. cars to Twenty-fourth street, and walk
of five minutes from that point will bring them
to the place. Then let them say whether
this place of enchantment ought to be de-
stroyed. And for what Havo our readers
heard that 1t has been proposed to level this
fine hill, from which the only good view of
the river from tho city can be had, for The use
Of the ditf Think of it. Can tho request be
serious? Cannot dirt and debris he found
for filling up the Potomac fats without cut
ting observatory hill down to their
levelH Who has the authority to
permit the outrage? Who having the
authority would grant It? We hope
the act is not seriously contemplated by any
officer Of the government. We do not believe
that any authority less than congress can
lawfully commit such irreparable injury to
government property. We know of no reason
to fear that it will be done. We only know
that In the necessity for filing ma
terial for the flats, this hill has been
under discussion as source from
which the need could be supplied Therefore
We protest early. We hear indignant pro-
tests from all who speak OH tho subject. No
government official who will go through the
grounds in question will evor consent to see
them mutilated merely to get dirt, which
can be had in abundance elsewhere. 1t
would bo like killing bloodcd horse for his
hide and hair. The government Is rich
enough to got earth without destroying tho
most beautiful elevation anywhere on the
Potomac. .aAsgg- rAU5I

The Tribune publishes Secretary Chandlers

Dezendorf OF Virginia. II is time for the Tribune
TO stop encouraging such frauds as this Virginia

former, and starts up howl OF "corruptly using
patronage" Democratic journals and their as

them general circulation. 1t is with such fellows

which can bo filled only by appointment.
Judge Ferris holds that after an officer is thus
out OF the army or navy, he cannot be re-
habilitatod by any act Of congress that the
constitution Of the United States vests the
appointment Of officers Of the army and navy
IN the president and that in tho case Of the
gentlemen named, they having by their own
acts placed themselves out Of the service,
they can he restored only by tho president
with the advice and consent of the senate.
The papers In the case of Gen. Badeau have
been referred by Judge Ferris to Mr. Upton
second comptroller of the treasury, whose dc
cison may overrule or sustain that Of the
auditor If It be sustained, then the pay of
all officers on the retired list whose status is
analogous to that Of Gen. Badeau will be

An Omen ReQn1Sa

Whatever may be the action Of the regatta
committee upon the question of chSneing the
date for the annual display by the boat clubs,
1t Is moderately we'll assured now that an
open regatta will be arranged to follow close
upon the national regatta at Newark. II
will of course be greatly preferable to hayo
such action by the committee as will bring
all the local clubs into this arrangement as
first parties; but should that fail tho Columbia
club, which has shown most worthy spirit of
energy and fairness in this whole matter,
will declare an open regatta on their own ac-
count, and notify all the clubs of the union.
This is as IL ought to be. No finer course Is
to bo found in America than that offered on
the Potomac, and no other city is so eli-
giblo as n point at which q national re-
gatta would be heavily attended. The
object Of the local clubs should be less to
shut other clubs out by such a scant
showing of courtesy as an invitation to par
ticipate in an event after tho close Of the
season, than to bring thom here in the season
for the great boating event Of the year. The
matter has gone so far now that Il the Column
bia club will but see it through an effort may
be made, with very reasonable chance of
success, to get the national meeting here in
1884.

MIR. MURcH is ALMOST READY.

All He Needs Now is Several other
Things, and Then He WIN Begin TO
Investigate.
The committee appointed to investigate
the charges against Mr.. Hill, supervising
architect Of the treasury, met at 10 a. m. yes
terday, and at the request Of Mr.. Murch took
q recess until IL o'clock. On reassembling
Mr. Murch stated that he was prepared to 20
on with the investigation, provided certain
privileges were accorded to him. He desired
that full record be made of all the evidence
taken, and that he be furnished with copy.
Ex-Collector John l.. Thomas, of Baltimore,
who appeared as counsel for Bartlett, Robbins
Co., Of Baltimore, asked that he also be fur
nished with copy. The committee accedcd
to the request, whereupon Mr.. Murch stated
that he desired TO take up the charges seria-
tim and complete the investigation under
each before proceeding to another. He would
therefore take up first the matter of the Dix
Island Granite company, and to facilitate
matters would call upon the architects office
for certain papers which no proceeded to
enumerate. These included what were known
as the " ID per cent. contracts" the orders
for the construction of buildings for boarding
houses for laborers at Dix Island tho pay
rolls for labor upon the New York and Phila-
delphia public buildings; the letter Cif one
was WrlVtenl, OIL secretary Sbermnn appoint
ing commission TO investigate matters re-
lating to the construction Of these buildings,
together with mass of other specified papers
and documents.
Mr.. Thayer, of the architects office, who
was present In MIR. Hills interest, suggested
that 1t was due Mr.. Hill, before requiring
him to scour the files of his office for ten
years past, that he should be informed for
what specific purpose the papers were to be
used, and what specific charge against him
they were expected to substantiate.
Mr.. Murch replied that he labored under
the disadvantage ofbeing without counsel that
he had never before appeared in court either
us plaintiff, defendant or attorney, but that he
expected later on to have the advice of coun-
sci. He further stated that his object in ask
ing these papers was to show that great
frauds had been perpetrated upon the gov
ernment; that the cost of public buildings
had been increased far beyond any necessity !;
and that contractors had In some instances
been paid ten times over the value of the
services rendered.
After some further discussion as to the
mode Of procedure an adjournment was had
till II q. m. to-day, with the understand
ing that Mr.. Murch be permitted TO inspect
the files Of the architects Office and designate
such letters and documents as he may desire
to have put in evidence before the COM
mittee,

YESTERDAY afternoon pleasure boat con.
tanning four men was swamped short dis
tance below tho aqueduct bridge by the wash
of the tugboat Gilmore Meredith, which was
running at o higher rate of speed than al
lowed by law. The tug proceeded on her
course without stopping to pick up the men,
who only saved themselves from drowning by
c,iuging to tho upturned boat until help
cached them from shore. Complaint is made
hy many persons owning pleasure boats that
this gamo tug constantly violates the harbor
regulations By exceeding the rate of
speed authorized, thereby making strong
awels and ondaugcring the safety Of
the small boats and their occupants.
