Wasnminaron, D, C., Dec, 20.—The opinion of the First Comptroller of the Treasury as to the use of $20,000 for the Blains Comnmitice has finally been overruled, Acting Attorney-General Phillios deciding that, under a fair construction of the law, the Scnate can use tho appropriation for any investigation whatever. Blaine's Teller investigation will immediately proceed, and s Bub-Committee will be either sent to South Carolioa and Loulsiana, or prominent witnesses will be summoned here. Bome metnbers are now inclloed to favor bringlng witnesses here, as there would be no gunger of intimidation of witnesses here, but it is probable that a Bub-Committee, constsiing of Teller, Camoron, Kirkwood, Builey, and Garland,will immediatcly " g0 to New Orloons and visit the parishes where there was violeuce, The Bup-Committee will roturn lu & few days sftcr the reassembling of Congress. Benator Teller says that he pro- poses to make a complete and thorough In- vestigation. No plans have becn made with regard to South Carolina or Massachusctts. A letter has been received from United States District-Attorney Northrup, of Bouth Carotina, in which, referring to reports concerning hime P self in several Northern newspapers, he says: 4 All such statements as have appeared, or may appesr, assatling my private or publle record, political or otherwise, are slmply and rock- lesaty falae,” PITRIN. The following statement is made by the Iriends of cx-Marsbal Pitkin, of Loufsluna, as to a pretended discrepancy in his accounts: Just prior to the election of 1876 ny aitempt was made to purge the reglstration of New Orleans of many thousand fraudulent names, placed there in the Democratic futerest, Warrunts ‘wern tssued by thu United Statea Commissiun- ers tor cvery persop fraudulently registered, and places In tne hanas of Mr. Pltkin, then . Marshal, for scrvice. Bome 2,000 persons were arrested and surrendered to the Marshal, and for this number of cases Ilt]pmm:rly charzed for his service, and was paid., It has becn charged in Democratic quartess that there were but 200 cases heard, and that the remainder of Pitkin's bill was fraudulent. That this charge is false il known to hundreds of persons in New Or- eaua. LRONARD, A dispatch from New Urleans says that there is sume anxfety there as to the fate of District.

NEWSPAPEL CORRESFORDENCE, Bpecial Correspondence of The Tribune. Wasunoton, D. C., Dec. 27.—The newspaper correspondent {s abroud fn the land. Now that the season s fairly fusugurated, now that tho nutonal life bay begun st the Capital, the self- elected chronicler of events dreama of other worlds to conquer, and sends out his specimen letters to every journsl that he foudly dreams may be accessiblo to bis allurements. Newspaper correspoudence bas become & standurd feature of all our leading journals, It {a next to the editorial pagoe in its importance, It is ous of tho vital elements of journalism, aud it s onc of the most pleasant and best-pay- ing of employments when pursucd under condie tions of auccess. ‘tbe elemcutary requisita of a good newspa- per letter fs that it should have something fo it, —something that people waut to kuow, aud that they aro she better for knowing. The mere lacility for turniog graceful plirases, for “stringiug pretty words that make o sense,” 4 uo elument of strength or of success to the uewspaper correspondent, A swift sppreben- slunot the world’s futerests, of the relation of ustivnal movaments and Individual needs, s the fotuitive sense that determiues the successful Jouruallst. » To the tyro io newspaper correspondence thero Is & good deal of exoerimeutsl philos- ophby ahout it. It takesa great deal of thmo {and pustagel) to test tho measure of success. Fanchon has constructed what scems to ber s very lutercating Lewspaper letter, and the one luterrogatory into which ber thouglits resolve themuelves {s, ** What journal will pay the best for this??

A little sooner than she bas expected the check for this modest sum, tue postmsn bauds her a thick page with the cut of the Her ald Building clearly stariog ber {n tho face from ver ipany K, tue, the engelope.

Bhe has clear convictions on al) aubjecte, and that the precise path of her Individual destiny leads into the ways of journaliste correspondence she hos not o doubt. One failure docs not spofl & summer,—no, not to Fanchon, The New York Worid is nothing, tf not polite, As roon as the “fast-mall trains' can bring them the treasure, cust forth upun an unappre- clative and an unfeeling world, FANCHOX'S LETTER RETURNS, but It I8 accompanied by such n charining note as to make fajlurc scer almost like success, She I8 nesured of the deew obligations under which slic has placed the editor of the World by offer- niz bim her M8, which he rejcrets, etc., ete.
