Our correspondent thinks that the rule, ‘ False in one, false in all,” may apply to the Patriot's allegations.

Vernon yesterday, and seemed delighted to eecape for a time from the heat and dust of the capital. On their way down the river they were told that they were going to visit the tomb of the first Great Father. On their arrival at the tomb each Indian walked up to the iron door, ing his right hand through the gratin as if shaking the hand of a friend. hen asked by the interpreter what they were doing, their reply was, “We are shaking hands with the spirit cf the Great Father.” ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS will leave the city te take the stump for the national re publican ticket next Friday. He will speak a Pittsburgh on Saturday evening and at Mead- ville on Monday. From there he will go to Obio, where he will make four southeastern part of the state, viz Marictta, Athens, MeConnelsville, and Zanesville, on the d, Sd, 4th, and Sth of Octobe tively. Atter filling these engagaments ‘he will go to New York, end make several speeches in that state.

Morrow, U.S. A., bas written a letter to the Secretary of the Interior, in which he represents Indian affairs in a terrible con- aition in Utab Territory. He held a council with the Utes on the 2ist and 22d of Au- gust, when the Indians requested permis- sion’ to go to Washington and lay their grievances before the Great Father, and in the event that their request is denied, they ask that a Ui stings commissioner be sent out to investigate their complaints against the government. Culonel Morrow carnestly recom- mends that a delegation be allowel to go to Washington, and thinks if they are fairly treated they will become friendiy. General Ord thinks favorably of Colonel Morrow's recom- mendation. NAVAL Oprricers TuANerERReD.—Ltent, Commander George M. Bache ordered to ordnance duty at the Philadelphia navy yard; Master John A.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS IN THE TREA- stUry DerakTMeNnt.—The board of civil service miners for the Treasury Department has ad to hold examinations onthe Ith 2th days of October, to fill a large number of vacancies in clerkships of the tirst-c! ($1,20)) now existing in that department. plica in accordance with the civil ser es for permission to compete for these vacan- will be received up to the tst of October. As the number of applicants will doubtless be £0 great as to render it impractica‘le toexamine all of them, the board will probably make u of the privilege accorded by the rules of select- ing for examination a practicable number of those apparently best qualified. A nopportunity to compete will, however, be extended to ail whose applications show a fair degree of com- peteucy and fitness for clerical service, and are =— im accordance with the civil service rules. A THE COLORED CADET appointed to the Naval Academy by Congressman Elliott, colored, of the third district of South Carolina, arrived in Annapolis on Satarday morning, aud reported to Commodore Worden, superintendent of the academy. The name of the cadet is James Henry Conyers, He was born in South Carolina, October 4, 1555, is of good torm, has a complexion about browned coffee coler wtih the usual curly hair of his race, and stands about tive feet three inches. He was received very kindly by Com- modore Worden, who told him, if admitted, he must treat all with politeness, and the same would be shown to him. The cadet was ac- companied by his friend, Mr. A. C. O'Hear, a “ight mulatto, VF recaaed of Howard University, of this city. The physical examination isthe first the candidate is subject to. This Conyers passed most successfully. He was turned over to the academic board to try his mental calibre. He has not finished his examination yet. His —— by the cadets has been kind and cour- yas. —_—.

The Indianapolis Journa!, in impressing u the people of that city the importaace of foster- ing manutactures, takes occasion to pay the tel- lowing just tribute to Washington, his, we may remark, all the more valuable coming ag it does from a locality that at one time favored to some extent the idea of removing the government from Washington It is a matter of just pride to Am our National Capilal bids fair at Las’ outgrow | ail the drawbacks that have given itsach a bad bame heretofore, and to become a beautifal and attractive city, as it was originally designed and ought to be. Within the last ten years a spirit ot enterprise has sprung up in Washington cit due to the introduction of anew and vigoroas population, that has entirely metamorphosed | the place, and is destined to give it a high rank among American cities. The old idea current for so many years that Washington is an un- healthy city, is quite exploded, and in this re- spect the denizens of the capital need not { comparison with any city of equal population in the country. Statistics show that the death rate per one thousand of Washington averages 20; that of Phi'adelphia 23; of New York 2s, of St. Louis 2; of Chicago 25; andet Cincinnati 28. ‘The social attraction= of the p ace are constantly increasing, and these, added to the fascinating political excitement to be found there during a part ef every year, are constantly drawing thither a class of wealthy and cultivated people from all parts of the country, aud of all shades of politics, tomake it their permanent residence. in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a capital the acerbities of politics are always very much toned down, avd these cultivated people, artists, statesmen, authors, men of wealth and leisure, meeting on the common ground of good fellow: ship, combine to make the society of Washington what it should be, the most attractive and cos- mopolitan to be found anywhere in the country, not even excepting that ot New York. But we set out to speak of the remarkable in- crease of business enterprise and public spirit in the federal city as compared with the individaal sluggishness and commercial stupor that ti merly prevailed there. We have rece: py of the ** Report of the Joint Committee on Manufactures,” made to the legislative assem- Diy of Washington,.setting (orth what the city has done and proposes to do in the way of de- veloping her resources and building up man- ufactures, and recommending to this end a very liberal and tar-reaching policy on the part of the city government. Without going into de- tail, we call attention to the following ordinance reported by the committee and recommended for passage : Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the District of Co.umbia, That all property, both real and personal ually employed within t limits of the Di of Coiumbia tor manutac- turing purposes, shail be exempt trom all tax- ation for a period of ten years from the date ot this act going into effect: Provided, That this act shail receive the sanction aud approval of the Congress of the United States.” ‘The committee seem to recognize the fact not only that cities must advertise their advantages to the business world, but must offer induce- ments for the location of manufactaring capital, Political Notes.
