Sherman in regard to the retirement of Gen, Marcy, announced some time ago in THE Srar:--At his own request, after an active ser- Vice of over forty-eight years, Brig. Gen. K. B. Marcy, senior inspector general of the army, has been placed on the retired list, under sec- Uon 1,243, revised statutes, In the war with Mexico; especially in the Utah expedition and movements connected therewith; in tne later war with the Seminole Indians in Florida; in the war of the rebellion; and, indeed, through- out his long period of nearly halt a century of constant duty, the career of Brig. Gen. Marcy has been marked by distinguished military ser- vice. In retirement, he bears with him the record and the honors of a lifetime devoted to the cause of the country. COL, SHRIVER R&TIRED.—An order was issued by the War department to-day placing Col. Edmund Shriver, of the ae general’s de- partment, on the retired list. This creates a vacancy which will be filled by presidential designation, ‘THE FOLLOWING INTERNAL REVENUE APPOINT- MENTS have been made:—J. J. Marshall, N. G; R. D. Griffin, N. C.; J. A. Nifong, N.

NaVaL NoTzs.—The U.S. S. Kearsage, while on the way from Hampton Roads to St. Thomas, passed directly over the portion marked Orion on the charts—latitude 31 de grees 45 minutes north,and longitude 72 degress 2% minutes west, but saw no indication of rocks or shoals, ‘There was no discoloration ot the water.

Commander Kennedy, also of that vessel, who rendered prompe assistance to the Eaglish bark Ayton, which had colitded outside the harbor with am Itallan steamer. Boats were sent in charge of Lieut. Commander Kennedy to the Ayton. The crews of the boats were able to prevent the Ayton from sinking. The agents and insurance associations express themselves most game | through the newspapers for the aid received from the Quinnebaug. To the skill and courage of Commander Farquhar and Lieut. Commander Kennedy they attribute the saving of the vessel froin total loss.... The Pen- socola, flagship of Rear Admiral Thos, iL Ste- vens, Pacific station, satled from Saa Francisco on the 2d instant for Acapulco. MARSHAL Fitzst™Mons, Of Georgia, will not be disturbed in his office during the present ad- ministration. The report made by the special agent that he had not paid some of his deputies is not regarded, upon further inquiry, as suit. cient ground upon which to remove him. In fact he 1s sustained in the course he has pur- sued. In justice to Mr. Fitzsimmons, it should be stated that the numerous publications made about him since the tenor of the special agent’s report was first published in Tug Star, have been grossly exaggerated. The report wasonly upon the charge that he ‘had not patd certain of his deputies. All the old charges that have been made against him since he entered upon bis office, and which upon investigation, were found to have no foundation in fact, have been revamped and given with the charge ot not pay Ing deputies; and 1t was published that he ad been found guilty of the whole batch. Mr. Fitzsimmons’ commission expires about the Sth of March next. Major Gibson, of Georgia. a cousin of Gen. Garfield’s, is spoken of as .1is suc- cessor. SOCIETY NOTES. The visiting yesterday gave proof that the season had fairly opened, so many ladies were receiving and so many making calls, in spite of tne dulficulties presented by the condition of the streets. The wives of most of the Justices of the Supreme Court recetved at their residences, as yesterday was their regular day. Mrs. Waite, who looks in perfect health now, had the agreeable assistance of her daughter and daugh- ter-In-law. Mrs. Edwin Parsons and Miss Lucy Work, of New York, received for Mrs. Swayne, who was not very well. They had a large num- ber of visitors. Nearly all of those who enjoyed Justice and Mrs. Bradley's party last Wednes- day, as well as many others, called on them yesterday. Miss Bradley and her sister-in-law, the bride, formerly Miss Lida Cameron, assist at the reception. ‘Mrs. Harlan and her daughter and Miss Butler agreeably entertained many visitors. Mrs. Field had her sister, Miss Swear- ingep, and Mrs. and Miss Davies, of New York, as aids. The two latter ladies are the wife an daughter of Judge Davies, of New York. Most of the ladies living on Capitol Hill and at the Navy Yard, and Mrs. McCawley at the Marine Barracks received many visitors also yesterday. Saturday has been selected as their reception day by many ladies eying in the neighborhood of Dupont Circle.

Latest Developments in the Case. LETTERS OF MRS. CHRISTIANCY; AFFIDAVITS OF GIRO; STATEMENTS OF PARTIES CONCERNED. A portion of the correspondence between Mr: Lillie Christiancy and Edelberto Giro has been made public. All her letters to him that are published were written from this city. SHE APPEALS TO GIRO TO SAVE HER. The first is dated March 4, ss). In tt Mr3, Christlancy writes as follows: “I will very 3002 be free here, but I wish to get the divorce, not have him get 16 on account of my thoughtless impru@ence with you. If you do not come here aud aid me I swear that I will Kill myself. You must afd me. Let your manhood assert Itself and save roe, Come just as soon a3 this ts re ceived. If you still love me you will sooa have your reward, for I will be your wife, and I will be good and loving.” SHE IS TIRED OF LIFE. The second letter bears date March 14th, 1880. In this she writes: If you do not mean to do what I have asked, I beg you in pity to ler me know. This suspense, this agony of waiting 1s dreadful. _In mercy let me immediately know what you will do. You will not come back months hence,one month even, to fod me walt- ing, 1f you refuse me, I will be dead and under the sod. i am so tired of life, so weary of all my misery. If to-night I could stand by your side your wife, I should be glad; but not ualess it was without stain. If you love me, and clear me, you can come and take me away your wife, and without stain. I will be so tender and true. It you don’t love me, I can, with a clean name, make my way in the world, but if this trial comes on without evidence from you, I will never live to meet it. Iswear this. Iamso sad and tired of trouble, but death at twenty-five seems hard. In the silence of the grave will be shut forever all the brightness and the, to some, pretty face, which my friends and family have loved. ‘They can say of me “After life’s fittal slumber she sleeps well” Don’t fall to answer immediately. Inmercy do this. ONLY ONE THING FOUND AGAINST TER, On April 2ist following, Mrs. Christiancy wrote, saying: ‘I will now give you some idea of my troubles. It seems from soon after the Ume I arrived here. Mr. C— had detectives watching my every movement. ‘That has been continued from hour to hour and day to day. During ali these months I have been followed; nothing has been brought agalast me except, what you know. You know what I refer to. * . * This applying for a divorce gives me the right to file a cross-pill, and bring my charges against Jum, If he first proves its charges he wiil get his divorce and f have no opporcunity toprove my charges against hin. You must see how anxious I am to prevent his ruining my whole life by bringing the charge of adul- tery, at least by seemingly proving it. The charge will not injure me if not sustained, If you swear that lam as pure as a woman can be, so far as you are concerned, I am saved and I will get my divorce from him.” A LETTER WITH A POSTSCRIPT. Again, April 2ith, she writes: “i could not go to New York now without being followed, and so they would know I saw you, and it Would injure me far more than for you to come here after a while. Iam wildtoseeyou. I hate to have you to go to Havana; stiliit you must, I have no right to interfere. I am so Ured here! I wish I was now your wife, and We could both go to Havana for ‘a short time. I hate everything here, for_here I have been so miserable! 1 hate Peru for the same reasop, but if your wife, and you had to go, I, of course, wowla,never let you leave me.' i could share ee, or trouble. I could take half of the bitter as well as the sweet of life. Mr. C. was charmed with you. I was glad, for he knows I am fondof you. Lillie Sends regard. I wish she and your brother could meet. Where is he? I wish they would love each other and marry. It would be much more pleasant for us and for them if they would love each other. To this letter is added the following postscript: It 18 not best for you to come here yet, but before long youcan, Iam so anxtous. “WE HAVE ALL SOMRTSING TO REGRET.” The next letter 18 dated on the 230 of June last, and begins with the words “My Darilng.” In Unis Mrs. C. says:—I now reply to the ques- tens you asked. We would be pleased to rem iin in New York a day or so, and, my darling,many thanks, but you caunct do anything to hasten ourcoming. 1 think, beyond the shadow of a doubt, we can come the 1st of July.

I think this woman’s story must be false. I believe in you, for I love you, and that means all things. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE BRINGS HAPPINESS. On the 9th of July Mrs. C. addresses Giro as “Dear Edi,” and says: “I pray you not tell ani one but one person the contents of this letter.

On the 29th of July Mrs. Christiancy writes again to Giro as follows: “Mr. Giro, Sir: I write to ask that you will please return all my let- ters to me. You have written of your honor and talked of it, of course horor will prompt you todo your duty in this matter. My letters are of no further interest to you, I know. I will write Dr, B.a note asking him to take care of my letters until he can return them to me. I will meet him In New York anywhere he may designate for the purpose of receiving them. Your letters are all in Washington with the jewelry. Just as soon as I return I will send letters and jewels to you. I presume there is no question in your mind of my honorable inten- Uons. If so, 1 will try to go home sooner, so you may the sooner receive the letters and Jewels. Neither are of the least use to me. I told you to-day that the latter I have never worn or even looked at since you left them. I have my own jewels more than I wear. Then, if your life 1s repugnant to me, what must your mere baubies be? _ If you had all the money tn the world, and should so try to repair the pain of having my name having been connected with yours, it would be no more than a feather. No money can make restitution. Just as son as I return I will send your letters and the Jewels—the rest as I get it, a Uttle ata time. 1 ask you as a gentleman and a man of honor, to give all my letters to Dr. B. Mrs. Christiancy to Mr. Jackson. Besides the letter to Giro, ten letters ad- dressed to a Mr. Jackson are published. One is dated March 4th, 1880, APPEALS TO GIRO'S HONOR. In this letter Mrs. Christiancy writes as fol- lows-—“Your friend, Mr. E. Giro, told me if I ever wanted to learn of him to writ? to you. In confidence I write you to beg Mr. Giro to returan onmediately to the states. Mr. C— 1s about toapply for a divorce. Ina very shor! time, now, it wil) have commenced. I have been fond of your friend, but dared not think of marriage with apy one because of the dense shadow of my married past. In this divorce case Mr. C— can only bring one charge to amount to any- thing. “It was a thoughtless, but great, impra- dence with Mr. Giro. If he does not come here immediately and ald me in this matter I shall Kill myself. I swear this, for I will not Itve and endure it. He can fight this for me, and then I will have a divorce here before many weeks, and | will gladly marry him and make aloving. kind wife. Ifhe no longer loves me and does not wish to marry me, his honor as a man shovid prompt him to come forward and ald the woman he had compromised. For by this I lose all, aud so would not live to face the world. In pity and mercy urge him to come to me now, just a8 soon as he can get back. Please answer, and pardon this scrawl, but I am half wild from nervous excitement.” ‘tter to Mr. Jackson, dated March ‘ou will pardon this second letter I have so little Ume in whteh to make my case clear, and Mr. Giro alone has ruipea me if I fail. He can save me, and 1 think you must with me that no man of any honor would let a woman go suffer,through him, even if he hated the woman and had never known for her a deeper, or more tender feeling. A man should make a sacrifice to shield a weak woman from the consequences of any act of his, The world condones any fault in a man, but women lose their good name and all 1s lost. I mean simply and truly that I wou'd never live through such, and with a stained name. I would kill myself. If I ara driven to this, Mr. Giro will be as much my murderer as if he shot me with bis own hand. I ask no sactifice from ‘im, for if he will make a deposition before our conse in Jamaica it will do.” . “Hthink probably a deposition from Mr. written, would have more effect, as there wou! be no shrewd lawyer to cross-exainine and ¢oa- fuse hisstatement. Heis so nervous that I fear he would not be calm, and !f not ne would f jure me. Besides, these bad, sharp men would purposely misconstrue his broken English, and So contuse and set aside his testimony. Latest Developments, The above letters from Mrs. Christiancy to Giro were only afew that the latter retained when he turned over the bulk of the correspon- dence to Dr. Blood, upon directions from Mr3. Cc. These letters, itis alleged, were made public by Mrs. Christiancy’s attorneys. Mr. Ingersoll, counsel for Mr. Christiancy, to-day assured a Stax reporter that he had not given them out for the reason that it wasdistinctly understood, by both sides, that the testimony should not be made public until presented in court. Giro, when directed by Mrs. Christiancy so to do turned over thirty-nine letters and telegrams from Mrs. C. to himself and two photographs of her to Dr. Blood, who still holds the correspon- dence. It appears, however, from Giro’s side of the case, that he retained the several letters to- day pubiished. According to the attorneys aud Pi 8 Interested in the suit GIRO WAS AT FIRST UNWILLING TO TESTIFY against Mrs. Christiancy, or at least pretended to be. It was evident that he felt resentful to- wards her, because, as he all , Sue forsook him for Dr. Blood. “Giro stated to certain per- sons in New York, in effect, that if Mrs. Chris- Uancy had been faithful and true in her love tor him he would never have consented to tes- tity against her; that he would have gone to his death rather than injure her. But, he said, she not only unceremoniously drop) him for Blood, but that she had kept his (Giro’s) jew- els, and had obtained money from him les. In fact, his cause of complaint was that the jJady was ‘* on with the new love before she was off with the old.” Notwithstanding his com- aint it the lady, Giro pretended to be very reluctant to testify against her, While the examination was pending in New York, however, and before Giro had given any tes! mony in the least compromising Mrs. Chris- Sworn out by Dr. Blood. Very naturally the attorneys for Mr. Christlancy obtained his re- lease. This arrest made Giro furious, and aroused what was termed the “ vindictiveness of his Spanish nature.” AN AFFIDAVIT BY GIRO. He at once notified the prosecution that he would tell all he knew, and next day, when before the loner, who was taking the to beginning the examina- ton, Giro asked leave to have the following statement, which he swore to, attached to the record: ‘Last evening, after the adjournment Dae amc enan wee Le atte ‘No. way, ai upoh which the yD Tis Broadway is situated, I was arrested by tho sheriff of the city and county of New York, in action instituted against me by Charles’ L.

THE HOTEL CLERK BRIRERY CHARGR. In regard to the allegation of Mr. Holdachuh, the hotel clerk, that he was offered money ana a government position if he would identity Mrs. Christlancy as the woman who was with Giro at the hotel, Mr. Christiancy’s attorneys said they scarccly thought it worth no- ticing. THE Stak reporier learned from tne side of the prosecution, however, that Holds- chuh was assured that all his expenses should be pald, as well as bis witness fees, 1f he would testify. After being subpienaed, so the defence state, Holdschuh suddenly left the city and went to Cape May. He was visited there aud urged to testify, but upon being brought to Washington he again put out, just before the Ume appointed for taking his testl- mony, the last time going to New York city. His testimony was reg: 23 all important by the prosecution and they fol- lowed him up, promising to all his ex- penses if he would testify, but the defense say they expected him to tell “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” and they did Ot Want anything else from him. Holdschuh said he wanted a position in one of the depart- ments for bis father and a member of Congress, a friend of Minister Christiancy, remarked that if be (Holdschub) would tell the truth in his testimony he (the M.

A representative of THE Stak calied on Mrs. Christiancy this morning, at her mother’s resi dence, No. 311 D street northwest. Having been quite sick she was not able to appear a’ once, but after a few moments delay came tu. looking somewhat haggard aud care-worn. Ber complexton was not so ruddy as heretofory.

THE Stak man, stating that she might desire to make some explanation as to the gushing letters published, she replled, “Oh, | yes,Iam glad you have called,for I wish tomake some excuse for my imprudence.” Continuing, | she remarked that on her trip home Giro was on the steamer and showed her, as also a Hickey, of New Binghampton, N.

On the last evening before arriving In New York Giro said he well knew that she had been forced by the cruel treatment she had received at the legation to leave Mr. Cristlancy, and he advised her to procure a divorce. She replied that she did not propose to do s>, but to remain in retirement. He then pleaded with her for permission to come and see her, and she declined, saying that it would be embar- rassing to her were she so disposed, and she had no right to do so, for she was still @ married woman. He said he had her address in Washington and would come, but finally at her solicitation said that he would not come. On landing in New York she found that the friend whom she expected to meet was not at the wharf, and then explained to Miss Hickey and Giro that as before she left for Peru there had been so much sald about Mr. Christlancy and her having trouble, that she would save herself much annoyance by using some other name than her own to by, and at her the name of one of Suggestion Giro her friends in the south.
