EVENING STAR. W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Propricter. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY .....,..... OCTOBER 31, 1965. S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELRE- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. BEWAEDS FOR CONNICTION OF COUNTER- It is understood that the Solicitor of the Mauch may be done in putting a stop to the issue of counterfeit money. It is a frequent Matter of complaint amongst expert detectives that the Government pay for such work is so trifling, and obtained with such immense cir- eumilocution, that it is not worth their while Qttending to it, in fact that they can do much better in their ordinary line of detective busi- Bess, in the employ of private citizens. The present energetic officials of the Treasury De- partment are alive, we doubt not, to the fact that the most accomplished counterfeiters of the world are engaged in imitating our national eurrency. The Department, we believe, is taking comprehensive measures to baffle the ‘work of these ingenious rascals; as the emer- gency certainly requires. BEDIVIVUS. We have again before us the familiar face of the time-bonored Richmond Enquirer, estab- lished in 1804 by the late Thomas Ritchie. It is now revived by Messrs. Tyler (its late pro- prietor) and Coleman, and has a frank, manly salutatory in which its editors say that the cause for which they contended has gone down forever; that they shall not seek to revive its iesues or reanimate its hopes, and they add: “The oath of allegiance taken by ourselves in common with our fellow citizens, has afar different significance now, than the same oath could bave had before the unsettled question of supremacy between State and Federa! Goy- ernments had been decided by the arbitrament of war. Now we acknowledge allegiance first -to the Union: before we held obedience to be due, first, to the State. The same honesty and sincerity which made the sons of Virginia brave the dangers of battle and saffer uncom- plainingly the hardships of four years of war, ‘will make them true and faithfui to their oath of allegiance.” THE LEMON CROP. The State Department has official intelligence that the season has been very favorable for the crops on the Island of Sicily, and sufficient has been produced for all regular demands, but at complaints are made in regard to the ion tree, which is attacked by a disease de- stroying the tree in a few weeks. This disease attacked last year only old trees; but is now destroying many of the young pees Should the disease spread, it will seriously effect the exportation of lemons to the United States. tga eeticsss THE CENSUS BUREAU. The census returns of 1860 show that there Were in that year in operation in the United States thirty-three establishments for the man- ufacture of carpenter's tools, with an invested capital of $573,250; paying for labor $251,264, for raw material $214,974; employing 7.6 hands and yielding annually products amounting to $731,430. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Mr. A. H. Byington, chief Washington cor- respondent of the New York Tribune, received & dispatch this morning announcing that Bur- rall’s Block of buildings owned by him at Norwich, Conn., and occupied by six firms as stores, was totally destroyed by fire last night. The property was insured but for a smal amount, and Mr. Byington’s loss is therefore quite heavy. | POSTPONED.

The U.S. Consulate at Beirut, Ceria, reports to the State Department, under date of Sept. 30th, that the cholera which has yisited with great severity many eastern towns, has almost ceased to exist at Beirut, but rages still at Das mascusand Aleppo. At Beirut less than two thousand persons have fallen victims, but dangerous fears continue to prevail. Qut of a population of 5,000 nearly 60,000 of the inhabi- tants of Beirut have spent the summer months in Mt. Lebanon, where they conducted their business with safety. The: mortality per diem at Beirut has not exceeded 25, but has reached 250 in Damascus and 400 in Aleppo. No deaths bave occurred amang the Americans at Beirut, with a single exception—the child of the U. S. Consul (J. A. Manson)—who was one of the earliest victims. THE GOVERNMENT SALES. The sale of buildings at Battery Parrott, Fort Martin Scott, and Battery Vermont, of the dis- mantled fortifications, which took place yes- terday, only realized $105, which can be ac- counted for from the tact that the owners of the ground on which the forts were situated accepted the principal buildings offered for sale in full payment for all damages sustained by the property. The buildings attached to some of the other fortifications have been turned over to the owners of the ground, who have relinquished all claims fordamages against the Government. MAIL LETTINGS, To-morrow the Post Office Department be- gins the work of opening the bids for carrying the mails on some eight hundred routes in Virginia, North and South Carelina, and Florida. Bids will be received until three o’clock to-morrow afternoon, and the Post- master General has until the 15th to decide upon the bids, butas few have been received thus far, the successful bidders will doubtless be announced before that time. ——————____ GENERAL HOWARD. A dispatch from Major General Howard, Su- perintendent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, who 1s how trayelling through the South on an in- spection tour under instructions from the Presi- dent, announces his arrival at Savannah. He will return to Washington in about a week's time, prepared to make a full and interesting report of the freedmen in the States late in re- bellion. SOUTHERN TROOPS. The Secretary of War has issued an order directing that in mustering out the regiments recruited from rebel prisoners, men who en- listed while prisoners, and who desire twogo Sonth, shall be furnished by the Quartermas- ter’s Department with transportation to the nevrest accessible point to their homes. Those who donot desire this indulgence will not be granted any transportation allowances what- ever. GENERAL GRANT’S RESIDENCE. Lieut. Gen. Grant has rented the residence formerly oceupied by John C. Br@ckinridge, on I street, adjoining the property of the late Stephen A. Douglas, and has not purchased the latter, as stated in the northern papers. The Douglas house is for sale,as heretofore stated. THE TUNIS EMBASSADORS. The military authorities haye extended an invitation to the Tunis Embassadors, which has been accepted, to visit the Freedmen’s Vil- lage at Arlington and the fortifications of Washington.

This morning, a number of our merchants doing business on the avenue found that a fas- cinating female, who visited their establish. ments yesterday and made purchases, had left the ‘city with the goods without paying the bills. er operations were commenced ast Friday = visiting Perry’s establishment, cor- ner of 9th street and the ayenue, where she purchased a variety of articles, ordering them to be sent to her at Mrs. Porter's ling- house, on Vermont avenne. ‘The goods were taken as directed, but as the money was not ready the porter returned with them to the store. Yesterday, she visited the establish. ment again, and bought other articles, which were piaced in the bundle previously ordered, and the latter direc! to be sent up last eve- nmg at6 o'clock. The boy, however, obeyed orders by not delivering the cel, in conse- quence of her not paying for it, and Mr. Perry escaped loss. The shoe store of Chas. Bayly & Co. was also visited last week by the woman and her husband, who selected boots, shoes, &c., to be paid for on the first of the month, The clerk not acceding to this proposition, the goods to be sent up on the ist, when they would be paid for. On yesterday the woman called again, and directed the parcel to be de- lnvered last evening, but the bo: 5g en the reoney. brought the bundle ; . Wall & Stephens. Galt & Bro., and others, were visited in a similar manner, allof whom sold her goods, to be delivered last evening, but which were not left at her house. among those whose porters left the goods puri yesterday are J. J. May, loss Shout Sat, Lock wood & Co., $12: B. H. Stinemetz, . Sem- ken, $25; M. Willian, #40; Hi: & Mitchell, $40; and Johnson, shor dealer in Georgetown, amount not known. There are doubtless other merehants who lost by ner, as she seems to ee nearly all of the lending establish- ments. When the goods were taken to her boarding- house Jast evening at six o'clock, as d im some cases she told the boys that her hus. band bad not come in, but to Jeare the articles, and send up this . Stinemetz having seen the woman company with some of our most table citizens, sent bis burdie up at six o’elock, the porter leaving it, upon being told t comeifor the money in the beh When = Bie ~~ —_ the House, he was met oung man, represented hi as a brotiver of the woman, and stated that she had gone out, not to return till ten o'clock, with the Bundle locked up in her room, but that the Tr might come and Fontes Money this morning. Upon sending ep the amount of the bills this morning, how- ever, it was found that she had left on the six o'clock train. The parties are of a good family in Wilminz- ton, and are well known in Georgetown. The husband, Alfred H. Price, was aclerk in the navy a until Ashort time ago. Hoth were highly esteemed among their acquaint- ances, who are at a loss to account for this | freak. Mrs. Price is described by the mer- chants as a young woman of very pleasing manners, dressed and of unlimited assurance, so much so as to excite the suspicions of the clerks at Galt’s jewelry establishment, who declined to send up the goods ordered, consisting of two bracelets yal- ued at $36 and a ring.
