The Government Sues to- Recover the Value of the Pied- mont Railroad, The Inter-Oceanic Canal---An- other Darien Expedition. The Exodus of Government Officials. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. THE EXODUS OF OFFICIALS, ‘WaseEnveroN, D. C., Nov. 8,—There is at this time present in Washington but one Cabinet officer, Attorney General Williams, and mot more than & sixth of tho other Government officers, the heads of buresus,chief clerks, clerks, messengers, employes, etc., and the business of the country will bo made to assume a trivial part, 8 compared with the requirements of the Grant party. During the past week or two leaves of absence have been granted toallin Government sorvice who intended to vote for Grant, and half-rate tickots obtained for them over the railroads ; while those who do not openly declare for Grant, if they desire to go home, must pay full fare, and, in many cases have the time of absence de- ducted from the thirty days of leave every year, which the rules permit. This ar- rangement is nominally made by the State Asso- ciations, which are made up of office-holders, and act for the Administration, but it is under- stood, not only by everybody here, but by the roilroeds that this privilegeis intended for the ‘benefit of the Administration. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC REPORT. The report of the Commissioners to examine the Northern Pacific Railroad bas not yet been submitted to the Interior Department, and, so far a8 known, has 1ot been begun. It will prob- ably bo ready 88 s00n 88 certain maps and papers arrive from Minnesota. The report will bo short 20d signed by the three Commissioners. It will be very favorable to the road, and will probably have nothing to sag about the corrupt Rings that have guch 2 hold upon its destinies. AN DMPORTANT LAWSUTT hes just been instituted by the Treasury De- Eflrtment in the United Btates Circuit Court of ichmond, Va., for the recovery of the value of the Piedmont Railroad, which connects Dan- ville, Va., with Greensboro, N. C. The claim of the Treasury Department is based upon the assumption that this property was constructed by the Confederate Government in 1861. It is further set forth that the money and supplies to finish and equip the rosd wers fur- nished by the Confederate Government, and that engineer ofiicors of the Confederate army were entrusted with the mo: and building of the road, which was only fifty' miles long, but which made = swift and sure connection with other railroads of North and South Caroling, Georgia, Alsbama, and other Southern States, which was indispensable to the ‘military operations of the Confederate Govern- ment. “On this snit the consequential damage is invoked to show that the inevitable result of the war was simply prolonged through tho sgenoy of this Tosd. =~ The allo- gations minutely set forth that every dollar of money, every pound of bacon, every ton of iron rails, laborers, white and black, loco- ‘motives and cars which wero necessary for the construction and running of the Piedmont Rail- roed, was furnished by the Confederate States Government. But through some curious and intricate _ manipulation of _affairs, the Richmond & Danville Railroad obtained entire possession of the Piedmont Railroad. It is pro- posed to make the present a fest suit to cover several similar cases whichare reported to exist. The Government is fortified by recent French and English decisions, showing that the proper- ty of the Confederate Government belonged to Lfio United States. THE ISTEMUS OF DARIEN CANAL. It is announced that during the coming winter another survey will be made of the Isthmus of Darien, and the expedition will- be divided into two bodies, one to commence at Darien and the other at Nicaraqua, the former being)nnder com- mand of Commander Edward P. Lull, of the United States Navy. Commenc- ing in 1869-70, Commander Selfridge has followed up his Darien Canal project with an energy and perseverance truly remarkable, and if that had been all that was re- quired ho would have solved_the problem lon 8go, snd we should by this time haves can under way across the Isthmus of Darien. On his expedition of last year, . he found a ronte by which a can bo put sacross the Isthmus for sbout eighty-four mill- ions, and his object _this winter is tooven better this. Howill, with, his pasty consisting of Lioutenants Collins, Eaton, an Sullivan, of the Navy, cross the Isthmus by rail to Panama, and there join one of the vessels of the Pacific fleet, in which he will proceed down the coast to the place decided upon for striking acroes the Ithemus, which will be a point from which the navigable waters of the Atrato River can be most readily reached. The survey will not oceupy moroe then four months at_the farth- est, and Feaving the United States on Jan. 1, 1875, the Darien expedition will be hack by fhe firat of the June following, which will be giving them ample time for all unavoidable delay. The Nica- ravua Expedition will start earlier than the Darien, 25 the party is somewhat Iarger, and the surveys to bo made are more extensive. Their operations will commence from the Atlantic coast, and their first point of departure will he Hampton Ronds, whence & man-of-war will carry them to Greytown, which will be the headquarters of the expedition. The officers thus far detailed to assist in this important work are, Lieutenant- Commander Schieluze, and Lieutenants Lutze, Mozer, and Hawley. HEADSTONES. A few weeks ago bids were opened for fanish- ing headstones for tho National cemeteriea by the Quartermaster General. The bids were re- ferred to the Secretary of War to make & con- tract, but he was unable to do 80, as by law he was r&&nixed to give the contract to the lowest bidder, and the lowest bid being for a brick headstone it was declared unsuita- bls for the purpose, zithough very cheap. The question of awarding the contract” was referred to the Aftorney Gemeral for his decis- ion, which, when given, was to the ef- fect that the Secretary of ‘War must give the contract to the lowest bidder, whoso sample can, by any possibility, be called & headstone ; also, thathe cannot entef into & con- tract for a sum in excess of the existing appros pristion, which is sufficient to_pay for one-third of the stones needed. This leaves the Secre- tary without proper discretion ss to what style, shape, and quality should be used, and he has, therefore, resolved to recommit the whole ques- tioh to Congress at its next session. This ends the matter for a year at least, as it _is not probable, in tho next brief and crowded session of Congress, any action will bo taken on this part of the Secretary’s annual message. The amount of appropriation exist- ing for this purpose is only 8200,000, while it is estimated that it will require at least 2600,000 for the purpose, and this under the impresion that a cheap stone or block will be adopted.

Duruque, Tows, Nov. 2.—At LaCrosse, Wis., last night, a row occurred in & saloon between the proprietor, Wm. Wacker, and Wm. Fallon. On Policeman Clows' attempting to arrest Fallon, he broke and run. Clews fired at him; when he turned into an alley and escaped, but, the officer coming npand seeing & man standing in the alley, again fired, when somo one exclaimed, ‘Clews you have' shot me.” It proved to be ‘Wm.

The Congregation Precipitated Into the Basement, No Lives Lost-==Two Persons In- jured. Evanstox, Tll, Nov.3.—An unusually large sudience assembled at the Baptist Church in this place, to-day, to witness the performance of therite of baptism. The gallery and anditorium were densely packed with worshippers, and the services had just commenced, the Rev.F. L. Chapell officiating, whena cracking sound was heard, and, without further warning, the floor of the auditorium gave way, precipitating one- half the congregsation into the basement, four- teen faet below. The shrieks of the people, the blinding dust, and the noise, made it a scene of indescribable confasion and horror. Fortunately, onlytwo persons were seriously injured. One lady received severe internal injuries, and a student by the name of Wood had his foot crushed. The pews were piled on top of the fallen multi- tude, and the mystery is that many were not Kkilled. The_floor to the vestibnle also gave way and those in the gallery had to be let down into the basement and then passed up. i The church had been lately removed from its old site, and has been \mdergoinf repairs. The nter assured the Trustees that it was safe, no blame can be sattached to them. The coolness displayed bg the audience was remark- i—:le' Many are donbtless injured who are mnot own. FOREICN.

The recent riotous conduct on the part of coolies of Demarara, resulted in the deathof five of their number, and the wounding of six. The. disturbsnce originated on the Devonshire estate, in a difficulty about wages. One coolie was_ arrested, and, when about to be tried, his _associates, armed with cut- lasses and cudgels, took possession of the estate, drove off the blacks, and threat- ened to kill the oversgers. When the police ar- rived, the coolics became very defiant, and finally attacked the officers, who fired upon them, with the result stated above.

Woodhull and Claflin Decline ‘to Be Bailed by George Francis Train. Miscellaneous Local News. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. NEW Yoz, Nov. 8.—The killing of Thomas Donchue by John Scannel, in this city, last night, was, to all appearance, & most cold-blooded as- sssgination. The tragedy is the sequel of & bloody feud between two political factions in the Eighteenth Ward. The late ex-Alderman Flor- |. enco Scannel aimed &b the leadershipin that distriot, and was opposed by Dono- hue. Florence Bcanmel had several enconnters with Donchue’s friends, at different times. The last was in Donohue's place in the fall of 1870, in which a number of hots were ex One of them siruck Scannel in the body, and he died, after lingering nearly two munm:i in Bellovue Hospital. His adherents accused Donohue of firing the fatal shot, but the charge could not be substantiated. Soon after the fight, John Scanne]l and Donohue met in - Tlm'dg avenus and Eighteenth street, and the quarrel was reopened. It ended by Donohue being shot in the breast. He was long confined to his bed. John Scannel left the city for a time, but ventured to return about nine months sgo. He was placed under bonds to keep the pesco, but mever relinquishod his determination to’ kill the supposed slayer of his brother. Their meeting last night in Johnson’s pool-selling rooms, on Broadway, and Twenty-eighth streets was not accidental. ‘While Donohue was in the upggr room John Scannell was seen in the crowd below by some of his acquaintances, who observed that he was laboring under_suppressed excitement. When Donohue came down stairshe saw his former as- sailant, and turned pale. He stood irresolute for a fow minutes, and then walked toward the exit. John Scannell glided swiftly towards him, placed & heavy navy re- volver at the back part of his head, fired. and killed him instantly. Since his arrest, Scan- -mell shows no signs of contrition. ‘'WOODHULY, AND CLAFLIN. Mrs. Woodhull, and ber sister, Tennio C. Claflin, continuo ‘in Ludlow Street’ Jail.

The Body of & Man Found in the Sonth Branch with a Cut Throat and Battered Head. A7 o'clock yesterday morning the body of & man was observed floating in the Sonth Branch, near Main street bridge, and was removed to the dock by the bridge-tender and some sailors. Tt was then taken charge of by Officer Dwyer, of the Archer Avenue Police Station, and conveyed by him to the Morgue. The remaing were sub- sequently identificd as those of Johm Cor- coran, who has been missing from his home, No. 336 West Sixteenth streef, since two weeks ago to-dsy. He was sbout 80 vears of age, and was employed in the packing-house of Culbertson, Blair & Co. When last seen he was attending » political meeting, which was held two weeks ago this evening, at tha comer of Conalport avenue and Eighteenth strest. He was tren on his way home from work, and hed his week's wages, amounting to 316, in his pocket. He was not intoxicated at this time, and did not appesr to hsve any acquaintances smoug those in sttendance at the meeting. The brother of the deceased closely examined the body yesterdey. and discovered & cut in the neck aboutfour inches in Jength, extending downward from tha left ear, sud several smaller cats in the head. Ono of the eyes was badly discolored, ss if iv had been struck with a blunt instrument. The clothing was carefally searched, butno money was found. It is the general belief of Corcoran’s friends that he was murdered by some persons who observed him display money, and that his body was then thrown into the river. This belief is strengthened by the fact that hewas a sober, eaceable, industrious citizen,- who was never own to pick a quarrel, or hsve an enemy. The Coroner has been notitied; and the mysta- rious aiffair will be investigated 1s thoronghly as possiblo. — .TWELFTH WARD ALDERMAN. ‘The following correspondence between a largs number of citizens of the Twelfth Ward, and O. ‘W.
