WASHINGTON NOTES.

A committee of citizens of Montana are
getting up a gigantic petition for the adj
mission of that Territory as State.
A good many Congressional Commit
! tees and subcommittee are at work on
bills, to be presented as soon as Congress
meets.
General Benjamin Butler says, that like
ancient Rome the United States may be
put up at auction and bought by the
highest bidder.
The {. 5. S. Kearsarge, which has just
been inspected at Portsmouth, n. H., af-
ter returning from the European squad
ron. has been ordered out Of commission,
and all her officers were detached.
The Grand Army of the Republic Of the
Potomac Department have sent the fol-
lowing to the commissioners "The un-
dersigned, representing over 1000 Grand
Army men of the District of Columbia, re-
spectfully ask that you appoint to the va
cant office Of the major and chief OF po-
lice our citizen, Jerome B. Burke, the
present Commander Of the Department of
fbe Potomac, G. A. r. Commander
Burke served in the Union army Tor
three years and two months during the
late war of the rebellion, making an ex-
cellent record.
West, the negro department clerk, who
brutally assaulted Mrs. Page, has given
himself up, and claims that he knows
nothing of the act and must have done it
in a fit. The critic has interviewed a
number of colored acquaintances of West
on the subject, who believe in Vests
story while the worst of it is that Bailitf
Revells, of the Police Court, says that
West is "a perfect gentleman and tells
the truth
The question is, will West and his un-
fortunate victim be both punished ac-
cording to the recent enlightened method
of the commissioners
There is certainly a strong call for
little decent indignation and dungeon
cell.

Mr.. G. II. Mallory, the New York head
OF the Mallory Steamship company, has
been interviewed about the boycott at
Galveston. lie corrects several miscon-
ceptions and asserts that the report that
the Mallory company at Galveston paid
the advanced rate 10 negro laborers which
the white men struck for is not true.
rThe new men were given the same wages
that the company had been paying" said
Mr.. Mallory, "and they were also assured
that they would not be turned away as
soon as the striking stevedores expressed
Willingness to come back Capt.
Spicer, another member Of the company,
said that the present trouble was caused
by the company's refusal to discharge the
new men and employ the November strlk-
ers in their places. "Business il very
dull at present. he said, sand our Gal
weston agent has been obliged to reduce
his force from $50 TO 1876 men. That is
why we have not been able TO give mem
beers Of the Knights Of Labor employment,
in pursuance OF the November arbitration
agreement, in which our agents promised
to give the Knights an equal chance when
employing new men,"
Both Mr.. Mallory and Capt. Splcer said
that they were not worrying because OF
the boycott. So far as their company
was concerned they could get all of the
help they wanted. II the railroads would
not handle the freight consigned to the
Mallory line the railroad companies would
be responsible. If the railroad companies
handled any freight at all they could not
refuse to handle freight rendered them by

he could not look into the future but he
hoped that trouble would be avoided
The Mallory line, however, would not dc.

As long as the Mallorys maintain this
firm attitude and the Knights OF Labor
persist in boycottlng, Galveston viii be
the chief sufferer. Houston can stand it
