Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. Occasionally the ''of-
fensive partisanship' business works both ways
and the men engaged in putting officials out and
other men into Office get disgusted An instance
came under the vision of your correspondent. in
the Postofice Department the other. day Sena-
tor Ransom, of North Carolina, was looking over
some charges filed against postmasters in his
State, and Unexpectedly run across budget eff
fecting the official at his own homo town He
read the charges over and expressed indignation
and disgust. He declared the charges trumped
up and untrue. The postmaster, he said was
gentleman, if he was Republican. and that it
was an outrage to file such charges, secretly,
against him. Senator Ransom was colonel in
the confederate army, and did not gain the repu-
tation of shooting the enemy in the back He
faced him and gave him fair fight. So he said
this postmaster should not be removed upon
such charges as had been filed, if he could help
it, and it is not improbable that the officer will
serve his term out now.

GRANTS FRIENDS INDIGNANT

AT the Abuse Heaped Upon DIR. Newman by
the Correspondents.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. GA great deal of indig-
nation is being aroused among the friends of the
late General Grant because of the attacks being
made upon the Rev. DR.. Newman, pastor for
many years of the deceased hero. The attacks
are made by class of correspondents simply on
account of the intimacy which existed between
the exPresident and the pastor, giving the
latter superior opportunities for learning the
inner life of the dead soldier They seem to
think that the good Doctor has defrauded them
of something which belonged exclusively to
them.
General Grants friends here resent these
attacks with not indignation. They claim that
Doctor Newman was present at Mt. McGregor
on the express in vitation of General Grant and
his family, to administer consolation to dying
man and his grief-stricken relatives; that it was
nobody else's business than those Immediately
concerned; that DR.. Newman had not made
himself extensively conspicuous, but bad dis
charged his duty to his dying friend in plain,
simple manner, and that none except human
ghouls would or could assail him under the cir
cumstances. Said one gentleman:
''The affection of General Grant for Dr.
Newman was like that of David for Jonathan
and that the Doctors presence at Mt McGregcr
was great consolation to the dying man and
his bereaved family 1 happen to know myself
and so do many others in this city. My wrath
surgeS and boils almost beyond my control when
think of these dastardly attacks upon a devoted
servant of the Master, and friend of the great
commander

The G. A. r.. Camp at Gettysburg.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Aug 9.-This has been a
perfect day at Camp U. S. Grant. About 2. 500
members of the G. A. r. have already reported,
and, judging from applications received for
quarters it is believed fully 900 comrades will
visit the camp during the week. At 1870 this
morning. divine services were held at the
trum in the National Cemetery, conducted by
Chaplain j. w. Sayres. At p. M. there was
dress parade and review, after which the COM
rades formed in hollow square, facing inward,
and Grant memorial services were conducted by
Chaplain Sayres, in accordance with the ritual of
the G. A. r. Chaplain Sayres and Rev. j. A.
Danks, of Pittsburg delivered addresses. AT the
conclusion of the latter's address, the comrades
at his request, joined in the chorus of Tramp,

which provided that tax should be collected
upon commercial travellers who do business in
the city of Washington Mr.. SINNERS argu-
ments were SO well put, and the facts which he
stated were SO incontrovertible that the House
finally adopted his views and agreed that after
the 1st of the following July there should be no
tax uron drummers, but that they should be
allowed to enter Washington and offer
their wares ON the same conditions that
they are allowed to enter Northern and Western
cities. Somehow or other, although this amend
ment to the bill went through IN committee of
the whole at the time, it was defeated before the
final disposition of the bill, and the drummer
who opens his sample case in the city Of Wash
ington to-day must pay 5000 for the privilege
AS result Of this, it is seldom that gentleman
with the air of Samuel of Posen, and trunks
like visitor to Sar atoga, makes his appearance
in this city; but there are a number of brokers,
so called, who have Offices in different parts of
the town, where they represent some outside
concern and the fact that they have an Office
here exempts them from taxation. The tax
collector of the city of Washington has just
given out his statement of the amount received
from licenses during the past year, and
takes considerable credit to himself from
the fact that the figures show material in
crease over those of last year. There are some
thing like thirty different trades and occupations
that are compelled to pay license in order that
they may do business in Washington They
include the whole range from apothecares to
barkeepers, and from book agents to hack
drivers. 1t is not very 1attering to the enter
prise of the city of Washington that this tax list
should show that aside from bar-rooms, the
commercial travellers who enter Washington pay
more license tax than any other. Last year
$l4, $50 was collected from commercial agents,
while wholesale liquor dealers paid something
like $500 less and bar-rooms
$500 more. OF course, this
tax upon the drummer really comes
out of the citizens of Washington, after all, for
the time was never known when the knight of
the sample-case did not make his expense account
cover all his outlays on his trips. The short
sighted policy of the government in enforcing
this unconstitutional tax is, therefore, burden
on the people, as they must Of necessity pay
more for their goods than they would if this tax
was not put upon them indirectly. 1t is the
purpose of several members of Congress repre-
senting commercial cities to make strong effort
in the next Congress to secure the repeal of this
portion of the law, and there is no doubt that if
they can concentrate their efforts in the right
direction they will be successful.

BOUTELLE'S REINSTATEMENT
The Influences that Accomplished It-Th
Charges and His Reply.

The Influences that Accomplished 1.-THE
Charges and His Reply.
Washington Special
Secretary Manning has ordered the restoration
of Professor Boutelle to his position as Chief of
the Assistants in the Coast Survey. This was
done mainly on account of combined effort of
the scientists of New England. The scientific
gentlemen Immediately acquainted with Pro-
fessor Boutelie and his services to
the government appealed directly to Secre-
tary Endicott. Some of the letters were very
vigorous Their purport was that, while nobody
could oppose genuine reform, the scientific
world and popular sentiment would not allow
a career of forty three years of arduous and
efficient service to be blighted by charges insti-
gated by jealousy or partisan zeal. They al
legged that Generals Sherman and Butter have
publicly testified to the fact that Professor Bou-
telles services during the war were of the utmost
Importance at critical times, and that his career
entities him to the gratitude of his country as
fully as does that of many of the famous mill
tary heroes; that he was man of unquestion-
able integrity and fidelity to duty, and one who
has few equals in scientific attanments that the
charges against him are upon their face not en-
titled to moments consideration, while justice
and decency entitle him to protection from the
humiliation of public accusation.
Secretary Endicott at once took On active
interest in the matter, and upon investigation
became convinced that Professor Boutelle's
suspension on trifing charges was a gross
injustice. He Immediately placed the matter
before Secretary Manning, with the result
stated.
The allegations against Professor Boutelle
were in reference to vouchers for carriage hire,
the employment of a department messenger on
unoflclal duty, and the acceptance Of an eleva-
tor which does not attain proper speed. He
explains the hack hire bull by saying that for
weeks he was entitled to sick leave, but through
devotion to duty came to the Office daily in a

His Unfortunate Promise to the Citizens of a
Kansas Town.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug 9-Supervising Architect
Bell, of the Treasury Department, has got him
self into hot water on all sides Mr. Bell is
like the hero of one of Babs ballads, who
describes himself as
I'm the cook and the captain bold
And the mate of the Nancy brig;
I'm the bo'sun tight and the mdshipmite
And the crew of the Captains gig
In that Mr. Bell has, in political sense eaten
up all the officials in his department. or would
have done so had he not been stopped by Secre
tary Manning. But his present difficulty is
not connected with men in his Office.
It seems that Congress appropriated for the
public building in Kansas City something like
So, 900 more than the estimates called for. Mr..
Bell, in fit of generosity, promised the people
of this border town that he would give them a
clock in their clock.tower, and that he would use
this additional S., 600 in the purchase of clock
In consequence of this promise the citizens
started subscription and raised something like
ST. 900 more for the purpose of securing a set of
chimes to be added to the clock. Now Mr.
Bell finds that mis- S., 900 has disappeared, and
promise to the citizens of Kansas City.
He says that the superintendent
of. the building has expended more
money than was expected, and gives this
as reason for the present shortage. This may
be so but it seems to an impartial observer that
it shows incompetency and unftness for his
position, on the part of Mr.. Bell, that he should
allow his superintendent to "spend more money
than was expected" and that he should be so far
off in his calculations as to be quite unable to
purchase the clock which he promised.
It is very generally believed in Washington
that the man at the bottom of the award of the
Peoria contract to Brainard & Co. was NJ E.
Bell, the supervising architect, and, although he
has seen that the action was extremely unwise
from political standpoint, and now attempts to
cover up his movements in the matter, it is said
that it was upon his advice thatshe Secretary
gave it out

LONDON. Aug. 8-An address has been got
up by the women of England thanking the Pail
Mall Gazette for its recent article on London
vice, and praising the papers courss as service
in the cause of morality and socis, purity. The
address has $50 signatures, including those of
Lady Ashburton, Lady Mount Temple, and the
Countess of Portsmouth All the names are
those of persons in good position. The Pail Mall
Gazette has weakened its position by an article
deprecating the raising of the age of consent in
girls to eighteen, on the ground" that
such a law would destroy the means of liyeli-
hood of host OF young girls already
launched into an immoral life The article says
the proposal is as forcible an interference with
vested interests be contemplated, as it
would abolish the present means of subsistence
of a large number of girls, without compensa-
ting them for the legislative confscation of their
income. The Spectator declares it impossible to
attribute noble motives to the Pail Mall Gazette
after reading this grossly cynical and atrocious
palliation of prostitution.
