WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. THE COMMISSIONER OF INTERWAL REVENUE. Notwithstanding the fact that every attempt that bas been made to remove Mr. Rollins. Commissioner of Laterns! Revenue, has proved to be a failure, yet this seems only to make parties more anxious and determined to secure the position. Another new appliéant for this place, Col. C. W. Moulton, of Cincinnati, ha® appeared here within & few days, and will probably prove to be One of the strongest candidat that pas been mamed. Uolonel Moulton 18 8 brother. aw to Senator Sherman, of Ohio, and bas the support of the jatterfor Mr. Rollins place. While his name has not bees previous to this, publicly mentioned for the porition, yet itis understood that his friends have been working very in- dustriousiy to secure Bim the position. We learn that some of the friends of Col. Moulton are claiming that they Rave private aseurance from Mr. Rollins, that he willsoon tender bis resignation, and thus leaving an open field for all the candidates. COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.—Strong infla- ence is being brought to bear upon the Presi- dent to induce him not to accept the resizna- tion of Hon T. ©. Theaker, Commissioner of Patents, which has been handed in to take effect on the 15th ot January. The applicants for the position, however, are hard at work in the other direction. Hon. Charles Mason, of lowa, who was Commissioner under the ad- ministration of Mr. Pierce,is now spoken of prominent candidate for the position. It is understood that Secretary Browning recom. mends the President to accept the resignation of Mr, Theaker, and there 18 no disposition on the part of the President to act in this matter contrery to the wishes of the head of that Department. GENERAL Stoves KILLEDIN NEw MExtco. Ex-Brigadier Genera) Slough, who will be remembered by our readers as Military (ioy- ernor of Alexandria, Va., dering the last year or two of the war, and who was afterwards appointed Chief Justice of the United States Court in New Mexico, wasfatally shot in Santa Fe on the 15th instant. The accounts of the affair so far received are confilcting. A letter from Santa Fe, dated om the 17th inst., safs: “Chief Justice Slongh was shot by Cap- tain Rynerson, a member of the Territorial ‘Senate, lastSunday. The affair grew ont of some strictures passed upon Judge Slough by Captain Rynerson during the session of the Senate, which Slough, who was present, de- nounced as lies. Ryuerson immediately at- tacked the Judge, shooting him, and after Slough fell, shooting nim again, inflicting a mortal wound, from which he died three days after.” Another account of the affair is, that it grew out of @ contest between Rynerson and his op- ponent for the seat in the Territorial Senate, the former having received a certificate of election from General H. H. Heath, Secretary of the Territory, and the Iatter from the Pro. bate Judge. DowxaTion OF FUBL.—Mayor Wallach yes- terday received thg following letter, which he turned over to the Provident Relief Associa- tion Depot Quartermaster's ht. C, December 23, —Hon.

POSTMASTBR GENERAL RANDALL returned 10 the city last evening from his recent visit to New York, and was at his office to-day. THE MimisteR to Ecuapon.—There has been @ movement on foot among the applicants for the position of Minister to Ecuador, each to induce the others to withdraw in his favor, but up tothe present time it has not been as. certained that any one of the number has beeh convinced that any person had any better chance for the position than himself. As there are only about a dozen applicants for this vacancy, it would be interesting to know what kind of assurances each have that he is to be the successful man. Indications are that somebody will be disappointed. GRNERAL SHERMAN had an interview with the President to-day.

SUMNER.—The some-time-ago report that Mrs. Sumner was to come to Wash- ipgton to preside in her husband's estabiis! ment has failed of verification, and the Home Journal of this week has the following, indl- e bay jority for stating that the differences between Mr. and Mrs. Charles ‘Sumner, which Rave caused so much unpleas- ant gossip and scandal, have been finally set- tled by a permanent separation, with the mu- tual consent and desire of bot parties, and their best friends. The direct cause of this srparation is simply the certainty—discovered only too jate—thai there exists between tbe partes an incompatibility of temperament and opinion upon certain social questions, which precludes the possibility of their living hap- Ppily together as man and wife.” “MARK Twain,” Se Door-keeper ad in- terim, amd more recently “Clerk of the Senate Committee on Concbology,” has a droll account m the New York Vribune of the facts concern- ing his recignation of the latter post.

It appears that he set about cleaning the bolier of the tug, and having finished the exterior to bis satisfaction, wentineide. He entered through an aperture in the end, and applied himself to his task at once. Scarcely bad he been at work tor more than four or five minutes, when he was sud- denly seized by a cramp and commenced to swell. Well is almost proverbial for his ro- tundity—ordinarily measures 42 inches around the chest, and is of a gravity proportienatel great. Shortly after he had taken ill he crawled to the aperture and attempted to get ont, but so much had he gained by tne swelling that to force bimself through the bole was ant of the question. He bawled lus- tily for hefp, and his cries brought some of the hands to by assistance.

Sir - ley Gideon Culling Eardley was committed married in New York in 1859, Miss Emily Florence M’Gee, who is still living, and quite recently another Indy at St. George's, Hannover Square. Mr. James M'Gee, father of the rightful Lady Eardiy deposed that hisdaughter was married to the prisoner at Calvary Church, in the presence of Mr. Cyrus W. Field, Mr. Chas. Mosely and other witnesses. It was proved that in New York such & marriage, or one in a private house, or even one in the street, was legal, as it wasin England atthe time of George Il. Sir Eardley, defended by eminent counsel, contended that the marriage was illegal, but the magistrate committed him without bail to tae trial. Here, then, is another Yelyer- ton case, and another caution to beware of titled foreigners, or to make sure that all the Lecessary formalities have been complied with. Sir Eardley seems to have imagined that could repudiate bis New York marriage. be- cause there was co ceremony before the British Consul, but I doubt if that plea will avail bim. He bad himself recognized the original Lady Eardley as his wife in articles givin her a separate maintenance.
