_EVENING STAR. W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Prepricter. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY........NOVEMBER 9%, 1965. S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGB. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. AN INDICTMENT. The Grand Jury have made the subjoined quizzical indictment against the city canal | and city authorities. Their points would have more force had the Grand Jury Placed some portion of the responsibility fer the condition of the canal upon Con- gress, where it properly belongs. So long as the canal is used as a sewer for all the Gov- ernment buildings, it 1s hardly the fair thing to tax the citizens for the whole amount of the big sum of $250,000 or $300,000 required for dealing radically with the canal nuisance; and even if the city could shoulders uch a debt un- Assisted, itis powerless to levy the tax until Congress shall grant the right so to do. Doubt- less, at the coming session, some measure will be passed by Congress whereby the amount Tequisite for abating the canal nuisance and malarial district south of the President’s House ‘witl be assessed upon the city and the General Government in equitable proportions: District oF COLUMBIA, County of Washing- ton, To-wit:-—The jurors of the United States of America for the county of Washington afore. said upon their oath present that at the time of the committing the nuisance hereinafter men- tioned there was and yet isa certain ancient canal calied the Washington City Canal, run- ning into and through and over the grounds within the corporate limits of the city of Wash- ingtou, in the county and in the District afore- said, and in the possession and under the con- trol of the Mayor, Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council of the city of Wash- ington aforesaid; and that the said Mayor and Board of Aldermen and Board of Common | Council have need and have been accustomed to and of right ought to repair and amend and keep clean and in a proper condition the said canal and the bed of said canal and the ground occupied within the limits of the said canai and Within the corporate limits of the said city of Washington, and to remove and to cause to be removed therefrom all noxious and unwhole- some mud, dirt and filth, and all stagnant water and decayed animal and vegetable mat- ter when and so often as the same hath been or may be necessary, yet the jurors aforesaid, upon their oath aforesaid, do say that the said Mayor, Board of Common Council and Board of Al- dermen of the said city of Washington and of the county aforesaid, on the thirteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord eighteen hun- dred and sixty-five, andon divers days and times Letween that day and the day of taking this inquisition with force and arms at the county aforesaid, then and there did unlawfully keep and permit to be and remain in and =pom the ground occupied and included within the limits of and known 4s the said ca- nal, and the bed of said canal then and there being and situate near and adjoining the pub- lie streets in the said city of Wasbington, a certain quantity of filthy, stagnant and noxious water, occupying and covering an area of ground —— yards in breadth, and —~ yards dn length, an ‘ge quantity of decayed ani- mal and vegetable matter, and divers large quantities of filthy and noxious mud and dirt, cccupying and covering an area of ground —- yards in width, and —— yards im length, and divers large quantities of filth and dung and stinking substances, liqnid as well as solid, from which divers noxious and unwJolesome smells and pestilent exhalations and horribic fermentations and stinks did then and there arise, and thereby the air there became and Was greatly infected and corrupted, to the ereat damage and common nuisance nét only of all the good people of the United States in- habiting and residing near the said —— but also of all other good people of the United States passing and repassing near the said » to the evil example of all others in like ease cffendmg, and against the peace and government of the United States.

The receipts from internal reyenue yesterday amounted to $750,100. PHYSICIANS AS WITNESSES.—We, yesterday met one of our city physicians ina most una. Mmiablemood. He had been kept from his busi- ness allday by a summons to attend at the Criminal Court as a witness, and was not called to the stand even then, but required to be in at- tendance again to-day, or for an indefinite pe- riod tocome Hedeclared, with emphasis, that, hereafter, he would never attend a case where there was the slightest ground for belief that his domg so would make him a witness be- fore Court. We have heard other practi- Uoners make the same complaints and ayer- ment in regard to loss of time as witnesses be- fore Court. In fact the getievance is felt to be So serious by the profeseion that in many cases itis extremely difficult to obtain medical aid when the testimony of the attending physician is likely to be called for before Court. It was the practice of the late District Atterney Key, we believe, to make an exception, as far as pos- sible, with medical witnesses, putting them on the stand at set times, or with as little delay as might be, and thus enabling them to fulfil pressing professional engagements. This ex- ception in their favor woald seem to be a very Proper one.

Battimore, Nov. 8.—For Judge of the Cir- cuit Court, it is supposed that Emory’s (Union) Majority will be about 1,200. in Howard county, for County Commissioner, sufficient returns have been received to render the election of the entire Union ticket certain. Westminster heroningy gives 310 majority for the Union candidates. Hampstead, Carroll county, gives 100 Union majority. [SECOND PESPATCH.] Bartrmore, Noy. 8.—The latest election re- turns show that Frazier (Union) is elected Senator in Dorchester county, which secures & Union majority in the Senate. .

Curcaco, Noy. §.—The county elections in this State yesterday resulted, as far as heard | from, with but few exceptions, in the success ofthe Republican candidates. The majority in this (Cook) county approximates 4,000. From New Orleans. New ORLEANS, Noy. §.—Information from Mississippi states that Gov. Humphreys had | called upon the people of that State to organ- ize companies to aid the civil authorities in maintaining order, and cautions them against oppressing the freedmen. rade between Mexico and Texas in increas- ing, and promises to be very large. | Col. Fullerton issued a eircuiar reminding freedmen that the time is approaching to make contracts for labor for another year. Well known planters have adopted a pian to get freedmen for picking cotton with success, paying each one every night for the cotton picked during the day. This is important, as | many of the cotton fields of Texas are un- | picked, the freedmen refusing to work. The total vote of the city is two-thirds of that polled before the war. he county parishes, so far, give the Democratic ticket the predom- | inancy. The conservatives are nowhere. The | negroes, though unauthorized, opened polls in different parts of the city. Mexican dates to the i3th have been received. The general inability of the Junrezists to compete with the Imperialists is becoming daily more apparent. ‘The Austin papers say a State Convention ‘Will be called about the ist of February.

The sentence in the case of Brevet Brigadier General Joseph C. Briscoe, Colonel of the 199th Pennsylvania Volunteers, tried by the Court Martial of which Major General G. S. Greene was President, upon the charges of “larceny, in violation of Act of Congress approved March 3d, 1863, and conduct to the prejudice of good order and military ese peg a has just been promulgated from the War Department. The Court sentenced the accused “to be cashiered and dishonorably dismissed the United States service, and be forever disqual- ified from holding of any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States Government; that he forfeit all pay and allowances now due or which may become due to him, and to be confined at hard labor, at such place of confine- ment as the Secretary of War may direct, for and during the term of five years.’” The Secretary of War having submiited the roceedings of the court in this case to the Presigent. the findings and sentence were ap- proved and confirmed, but in view ot the high testimonial to the former good character and allantry of Gen. Briscoe, by Gens. Meade, ancock, Stoneman, Gibbons, Terry and Sickles, so much of the sentence as imposes confinement was remitted. Gen. Briscoe was this morning dismissed the military service and released from the Old Capitol prison, where he has been confined since his arrest. APPEAL FOR WIBZ. Yesterday, Mr. Schade, counsel for Wirz, visited the Executive Mansion, and laid be- fore the President the aflidayite of five Union soldiers who were prisoners at Andersonville, for the purpose of impeaching the testimony ofan important witness for the proseeution, relative to Wirz’s shooting prisoners under his charge. Mr. Schade had an interview with the Presi- dentin reference to having the sentence com- muted to imprisonment, at noon to-day, which lasted nearly one hour. President Johnson listened attentively to Mr. Schade’s represen- tations, the latter saying that the health of the prisoner was bad, that he must soon die. and that if taken to the scaffold with his arm (the round haying broken out afresh) in the con- Fifion that it is now he would likely faint. The President listened patiently. and said that he would do the best he could for Wirz, and would give the application due consideration. From this remark of the President, doubtless arose the rumor afloat to-day that the sentence would be commuted. eee eee SALES OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Curtis, of the Indian Commission, dated Fort Sulley, October 20th, shows that treaties haye been made with the Chiefs of the Minnecon- goes, Two Kettles, Brutes, Yanktorias, Sans Aic, Blackfoot, Sioux, and one Papas tribes of Indians. The substance of the treaties stipu- late perpetual peace, our right of way through their country, the protection of our people passing, &c. The Commission haying agreed to give about $0 a family per annum, and about #25 a lodge to those who enter upon farming—all payments to be made in goods, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior. The tribes at these treaties were not as full Tepresented as could be desired, but they all promised to bring a much h Yr, if not full representative body to meet the commission next spring. The commissioners, however, have beard of more Indians en route to meet them, and expect to get more signers to the treaties already made, and possibly treaties with more of the tribes. Major General Curtis has written to the Secretary of War concerning the tribes who have made treaties with the commission, urging the necessity of giving due notice to command- ing officers, so that they may co-operate with the commissioners. THE VETERAN RESERVES. Captain Woodruff, of General Augur’s Staff, has concluded the inspection of the Veteran Reserye Corps, with the exception of a few de- tached companies, preparatory to mustering out such as desire to leave the service. Of 1,400 men on duty about Washington but 120 signi- fied a wish to remain in the service. But very few of the officers desire to be mustered ont,thus leaving an insufficient number of privates to furnish an orderly to each officer. The rolis are now being made out, and the Corps will be mustered out in a few days. Some of the offi- cers will probably be retained. It is under- stood that the troops of General Hancock’s ist Corps will supply the places vacated by the Veteran Reserves. THE INDIAN COMMISSIONERS, Information has been received at the Indian Bureau, from the Commissioners, now in the Indian country treating with the Indians, that the season is so far advanced they are appre- hensive of severe winter weather, and the clos- ng of navigation, which it is desirable toescape if possible, but owing to the importance of the duty of the Commission, and in view of an evi- dent desire on the part of the Indians to the shedding ot blood, the Commiesioners wil remain as long 88 possible so as to accomplish all the good that can bein view of the cir- cumstances. THE EXECUTION. General Augur and Major Ruseell, Provost Marsbal, visited the Old Capitol to-day tocom- plete the arrangements for the execution to- morrow. About a hundred passes have been granted to individuals to witness the affair, and no others will be issued until it is ascer- tained how many the prison yard will aceom- modate: It is not probable that more than two hundred can be sdmitted. THE WHITE HOUSE. There were a large number of visitors at the White House to-day, cemposed principally of pardon applicants. Among them was Gen. Longstreet. The rumor that the President con- templates pardoning this individual immedi- Stely is without foundation, his case baving no more claims upon the Government than those of other rebel generals whose applications for pardon are filed away for future considera- tion.

Subsequently he went to France, where he studied medicine, and graduated, almost im- mediately thereafter emigrating to this coun- try, where he prosecuted his studies in the English language. Afier spending some time in the North he went South, marrying in Ken- tucky and settling in Louisiana. The condemned man now spends his entire time in religious reading and in conversation with his spiritual adviser, Rey. Father Boyle, whose visits are frequent. He expresses him- self as prepared to meet his fate, but expresses the fear that his physical weakness may cause nim to appear to falter on the gallows. Rey. Father Boyle, who has been constant in his attendance upon the condemned man, bas promised to take charge of his remains and see them properly interred, and Mr. Schade will take charge of his papers and such effects as he may leave. ‘Mr. Schade called upon President Johnson yesterday afternoon, and said he came to ask him to commute the sentence of Henry Wirz. He did not imsist on a direct answer, as the President was at the time much engaged; he, however, submitted to the consideration of the President a paper setting forth the reasons why the sentence of Wirz should be com- muted. These are of a general character, and allege extenuating circumstances, and bear also upon the conetitutionality of the Military Commission, and conclude with an earnest appeal to the President tor clemency. The President kindly received the paper, and inti- mated that he would examine it, and Mr. Schade was accorded another appointment for two-day. It will be remembered that several days ago Wirz received a letter from a — in New York, who, after expressing the lief that Wirz was the greatest criminal known to the civilized world, quoted several passages of Scripture, and advised Wirz to make his peace with God. Yesterday, Wirz answe: this communication in sareastic terms, and after referring to the good advice of his correspomd- ent, asked the privilege to quote a passage of Scripture, as follows: «Judge not that you may not be judge (a Tre Batmore Murper.—We have given the particulars of the arrest of John Clare, the supposed murderer of H. B. Grove, the Balti- more photographer, and the discovery of ar- ticles in Clare’s possession criminating him. Since then, detectives Claryoe and McDevitt, ot this city, and Smith, of Baltimore, have i yering an ampercesiy per- oer 4 vidence connecting Clare with the murder. Jt will be remembered that an examination of the premises discovered a gold bar pipes ged to the watch-chain of deceased, which had been torn off the chain by the mur- derer in his haste. When Clare came to this city he exbibited a gold watch and stated first that his father had given it to him, but to others he told different stories, and he represented to Clarvoe and McDevitt that he got it froma young man in New York, and that he bad sold it for $60 to a person he met in the Capitol grounds. To-day, Messrs. Clarvoeand Mc De- vitt and Smith have succeeded in finding this watch. The chain is minus the gold-bar, lost in wrenching it from the body of the victim. Clare also stated to a young man in this ci! that he had had a difficulty with a manin - timore, and bad shot him. We learn from Messrs. Clarvoe and McDevitt that Clare was arrested some time ago in this city by Serg’t Skippon, for stealing a horse and buggy in Baltimore, and selling it in this city, and that he is now on bail for trial in Baltimore on that charge. ie Decree oF Divorce.—This morning, Judge Ohn, sitting in the Equity Court, made a de- cree in the case of Martha Mackall agt.

J. Amos, on 7th street, near the Park, when a blind soldier named Wm.
