FARWELL’S WASHINGTON ‘TRIP. The Mon, Charles LB, Farwell roturned irom his visit to Washington yostorday morning, and immodiately, through the modlum of the report. ers, corrected the erroneous atatemonts with re- gard totho object of his journey. The Jnter- Ocean, which is the acknowledged organ of tho Mueller cliquo, first started tho rumor that Mr. Farwell took with him tho report of the Commis- wion of architects, armed with which bo was to vigorously advocate the provecution of tho building undor the old conditions. As organy are usually Inspired, somo little credence was given to this statoment by tho other papore, the result being to mix matters so unfortunately that Mr, Farwall's rotura was absolutely roquir= od to straighten them, Mr. Farwell Hatinltory. stated yeaterday that he visited Washington in the interests of the city only, belioving that the buliding could bo pegeacded with if the laminated, patched, and rukun stones wore removed, and that a pre- sentation of these facts would have some weight with tho Departmout. Ho bad not the alightust dewre or intention of serving either Mullett or Mueller. From the first be bad opposed Buena Viata stono, and advined the use of Hillvow stono, but simply from a feeling of State pride, At the samo tine be thought the former stone was good, and would bo in favor of completing the Ce with ib if =the night quality could ba furnished, Secretary Bristow informod Mr. Farwell that he had not the alightest doubt thas thee bad been fraud and collusion from the cowmence- ment of tho work, aud more than hinted that Mevurs. Mullett and Mueller were the partics, ‘Tho Secrotary deciarod that under no circum: tances would the work be procesded with until Congress bad inveatigated tho matter. Mr, Bristow tooka with little favor on the Chicago Srctitocts, aod thinks the Committee is antago- dustic to bim, and gotten up by Gaugers aud Al- dorinen to break bim down. ir. Farwell took especial pains to disabaso the Secretary's mind on tbat vcore, He told him the architocta were ble, honest, competent. Hion, who were devirousof getting at the exact condition of affairs. Secretary Bristow vaw this atter alittle reasoning, but it bad oo fntlu. euce ou Lis conclusions regarding noc-interter- ence with the building at present, He expressed himself wotisfed with the report of the experts, but the real cause of hie adverse decision was the appearance of fraud. Bir. Farwell thinks the foundation of the building is ue g000 as any in the city. He favors the appoiutment of a local architect, aud pro- ceeding with the work, after rectifying defects which may exiat. Au the report of the Commission of architeote hae not been drawn up Yet lis uuneccasary to atate that Mr. Farwell did not present is to Beo- retary Drustow. —_—- A $10,000 OEFALCATION, AN INSURANCE AGENT EMIONATER . There was cousiderable excitement among the fosutance mon on LaSalle street yesterday, owing ‘o the roport that Mr. Charles Manthy, ea Ajusurauce solicitor, bad docamped_with about j_traordinary. $5,000 belonging to various inau nies.

Tho main reason assigned for the audden flight of Mr. Mamthy ia that he was largely be- hind tn Ins accounts with the Germania Inaur- anco Company of New Ortoans, for which Mr+ J.B, SchtaudecRor is tho Goneral Agent. ‘It ta sald that Mr, Sclitandocker has Iatoly throataned to expose Mr, Manthy and have all his poli- cies canceled auless ho squared his accounts at once. Mr. Manthy was unable to square, and he thorofors thought tho best conrae for him to [orne under the circumstances was to take fronch leave, ag his business woulda bo ruined, in caso of an oxposure, Mr. chiandecker claims that his Company fosca vothing through Manthy ; but many persons who had taken out psten in tho Germania through Manthy would lone in au aggregate about @5.000. An It has, however, been decided time aud again by the courls that tho companies aro responsible for their agonte, Mr. Schiaudsckor is undoubtedly mistaken in nis opinion, and his Company will hava to make good tho amount of his defateation, Mir.
