C., April 20.—At no time sinco the beginning of the ‘mvestigation of tho ofiicers of the District of Columbis has it been the purpose of the momorislists apparently to bring before tho Committeo a picture of Alexan- dor H. Shophord in bis shitt-sicoves, ongaged in tho net of prying opon tho vault of the Treasury. Thoy novar expectad, thoy aescrt, todo anything of tho kind, but what they did sot out to provo waos that tho affairs of tho District had been mismonoged, oud great frauds porpotrated for whhfix ho is responsible. 1t s to bo presumed, sftor llntun(nF to the testimony thus far adduced, as Lo hos dono at- toutivoly, Gov. Shophord, who Is an oxcaedingly intolligent man, will bimself admit that the momorialista bave made out an exceedingly strong cnso. Whatover his Irionds or attornoys mny think on tho subjeat, Gov, Shophord all along has ovidently approciatad THE GRAYITY OF THE BITUATION. Whilo Mattingly sud Harrison bLave boon smirking and giggling, tho Governor bas boon gravo and thoughtful, and has studiod and weigled each itom of evidonco with groat cara, o bns soon bis Treasurer, Mugrudor, Bol- omnly chorged undor oath by o respon- sible’ witnems with hoving = mado an sttompt to lovy blackmail. Ho Lag listoned to ovidenco of an oxcoedingly dsmnnging charactor nfininuk his attorney, Cook. Mo lns hoon & silont wituoss of the arraignment and conviction of his enginoers and superintendonts of TRACTICES UXDECOMING JONEST MEN, Tlo hos heatd it domonstrated that tho United Statos has beon dofraudod of hundreds of thou- sands of dollars by his subordinates. 1t has been proved to him boyond peraavonturo that many of his contractors wero knavos aud scoundrels, His intimate personal friends . inve been held up to bis gazo in tho light of specu- Iators in contracts, and plundorers of tho publio funde. In & word, Gov. Shopherd Do, day aftor doy, uat in the committoe-room and heard the witnesses for the memorinlists clinch every aliegation made in the charges. Be- ing an intolligent man, o canuot have failed to sco that the systom of goverument NOW it voguo in this District is a failure, and cannot last. Ho Tnows that tho ond of his roigh is approaching ; that TII6 DAYH A8 A BULEIL ARE NUMDERED, 1t must be perfoctly apparout to him that oven Btewartand Hubboll, of the Committoo, arolos- ing confidence in hia couse, and that when they dosors him.iopo must bo abandoned, Al- rondy tho question of establishing a differont and more porfoct ayatom of Government for tho District is being agitated in Congrossionnl cir- clos, It isn foregono conclusion in the minds of thinking meu that the present regime, after the exposures that huve been made i gimply im- posutble, A OITANGE OF SOME SORT 18 INEVITADLE, It hias boon'suggested by a fow to muke the Gone oral of tho Army CQovernor of ihe District, but thoro nro 0 many ob- jeotions to such an arrapgomout that it can nover receivo sorious consideration, Another %an in to turn the District over to tho Tntorior Department, but, as nothing would ba gained by tho chango, the suggostion i8 not lishle fo bo adopted. A third, aud probably s mora feasible plan, i8 to doloegato tho power of appolutment fo the Supromae Court, it hoing undorstood, of courao, that nll responsibility for acts shall bo to Congress. It is argued that, tho Bupromo Court being n nonepastisan body of men, nnd each momber of the highost and purost mmgm_v, thoir choico of oflicers could not fail to givo sntisfaction, S TICE PROOEEDINGS DEFORE THE CONMITTEE to-day wero of & quiot naturo, only three wit- nesses being examinod. ‘'ho most important of theso was Col. Rivers o rotived West-Doint gradunte, who, at the roquest of the Committoo, od madd o caroful comparison of the figures it the roport of tho Board of Pubtioc Works for 1878, and thoso appoaring in tho Governar's ansor to $hio momoriaiists. Among tho discoveries made by the Colonel, whilo oxamining tho ligures of tho two documents, was one OF A ATARTLING NATURE, and which Goy, Bhophord found it imposaiblo to explain, It relntod to the improvement of Penns sylvanin avoouo-oast. This avenuo was paved auterior to the organization of the pres- ent Board of DPablic Works nt & cost of $890,000. Of “this swwm, $132,000, one- third, was Rssossed ngainst tho Government and colleoted with gront promptuess, In timo, the Bonrd of I'iblic Works crma into power, aud shortly aftorward Congross appropriutod €1,000,000 for the lnpravemonta adjucaut to it property. To got ponsoseion of this monay it becamo necessary for tho Joard to show vouchors for tho worlt dono, and a3 about tho only improvemont thoy could figuro on was the_ new Ponnsylvenia avenue pavomout, they mnde ont anothor asscssmont agaiust tho Gov~ ornmont for {ta share of the work, this time charging Unclo Samuel 176,000, which amount, added to the firat asscssmont, roaches the hand- some sum of 3308,000, 'This plan was after- wards adopted quito oxtensively. FOMBYTH, one of the Assistant Engiuncers of the Board, was again oxwnined, but boyond displaying an immonso umount of iguoraice and arroganvo, waos o failure. It isupon the shouldors of thiu poor devil that Babeook aud Samo aro trying to unload their gharo in tho mensurement frauds which it fs bolioved have beon porpotrated upon_tho Government. Rabeoek thinks to os- oapo by laying tha blamo upon Samo, audHamo, in tuen, swears that Forsyth pointed ont tho improvements nround tho rsorvations aud Gov~ omiment property, which ho was delogated to measuro on belialf of tho nation.
