WASuiNGroN, ID, c., Feb. FIT has
just leaked out here that very important
paper documents in the charge against
Governor Murray have mystcriuusN dis.
appeared. one of the most important
documents among those sent from the
Department of Justice To S0rinecr'S
Committee some weeks since was a war
rant issued in Murray'S handwriting,
making charges and costs for sum of
$50 for service and mileage and other
fees for the arrest of a man who really
walked into Murray'S Office and gave him
self up. The offender, the story goes,
lived some hundred miles from Louis
vile. The Postmaster at his place of
residence fancied he had violated helaws
relative to the use of mails for lottery
purposes, and so charged. The man said
to the Postmaster that he was ready to
meet the charges, so they together went
to Louisville, entered Murray's Office,
where the charges We're made and the de-
Tense entered Murray, however, it is
said, told the Postmaster that he was en-
titled TO his full fees and mileage and
other expenses of bringing the prisoner,
and made out a warrant with all the
charges, amounting to eighty-siX dollars.
This was finally disputed when the facts
came out, and Murray reduced it twenty
six dollars. This document, however, in
Murry's own handwriting, Mr.. Springer
says he considers the most important of
all the papers sent him, and this one
is now missing. 1t was, he said, among
the papers when first sent him, but
not among them when sent the second
time from the Department. Inquiries made
by Springer of the officials at the Depart
ment of Justice show that Governor Muir.
rays attorney, Mr.. Wilson, of Louisville,
was probably the only person permitted
to handle these papers since they were in
the hands Of the committee the first time.
Mr. Springer says he desires to be ex-
plicitly understood, however, as making
no charges, as it is possible the document
may be overlooked and was left at the
Department when the Others were sent to
the committee the last time. He, how
ever, proposes to thoroughly investigate
the matter, and will make it warm for
somebody if it appears that the document
is really missing and nobody but viii
son had access to the document in the
meantime.

THE GENEVA AWARD.

Congressman Broadhead made an argu-
meut at the meeting of the Judiciary
Committee this morning, in favor of en-
largng the field of the Geneva award so
as 10 include losses by vessel owners on
all nayigable waters in the United States.
The original act was only to cover the
acts Of eXCulpated cruisers on the high
seas. All those having been paid, and
several millions remaining, there is now a
proposition to extend that to the payment
Of losses, not only by eXculpated cruisers,
but also to acts committed within four
miles of lane, or within American jurs-
diction. This being proposed, Mr..
BrOadhcad now asks that it also include
the losses by vessels Of this character on
the Mississippi and other navigable
rivers Of the country. Several st. Louis
parties are interested in this feature of
the bill, and have sent representatives
here who will probably appear before the
committee and present arguments, should
the committee decide to hear persons
outside of its own regular membership.

On Saturday large quantity OF mail
that had accumulated at Los Angeles for
Santa Barbara, said to be eighty-six
sacks, on orders from the postal agent of
the southern routes was sent down to
San Pedro, to be brought from there on
the Ancon on her last trip up. On ac-
count Of the postal laws, and lack Of
proper authority, the purser Of the
steamer had no right to receive the mails
as such, and the steamer, in consequence,
left that port and the mail bags on the
wharf. These eighty odd sacks of mail
that the people Of this community have
been and are still watching for, were
sent back to Los Angeles and started for
this place overland, a1d as far as can be
ascertained, are still ON the road some
