ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR TAKING THE CeNsvs.—The superintendent of the census has referred to the Secretary of tho Interior a letter from an assistant marshal, in which he asks if he 4s entitled to additional compensation for taking the census of 1870. Mr. Teller has replied that the gTanting of the additional compensation was left wholly discretionary with the Secretary of the Intertor, and when such compensation Was not granted th-re can be no demand arising on elther an express or implied contract in favor of assist- ant marshals, The Inquiry was suggested by a cireular sent out by Messrs. Johnson & Alexan- der, attorneys, of this city, Which stated that such additional compensation could be obtained. PREFERENCE TO SOLDIERS AND SATLORS.—Secre- tary Folger, in a letter to the civil service commis- stoners, raised the question whether when names are ceri{fled to him for positions under the clvil- service law he is not bound, under the Revised Statutes, to give the preference to any honorably discharged soldier or sailor of the lay war whose name may be among the number so certitied.

WHAT SECRETARY FOLGER SAID T0 THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEW OKLEANS NATIONAL BANK. The president of the New Orieans National Bank, against which Postmaster General Gre- sham’s recent order fn relation to a lottery com- Pany’s mail matter was directed, has had an inter- view with the Secretary of the Treasury on the subject. Secretary Folger told him that the ques- tion of the delivery of mail matierto the bank was one over which he had no direct control,that being @ matter under the jurisdiction of the Post Office department. The only question, he sald, which he (Secretary Folger) had to decide was whether the action of the bank, in becoming the agent of the lottery company to receive its mall, was a proper subject for investigation by the Treasury department, Gone to the Louisville Con’ OMe PROMINENT DISTRICT COLORED PEOPLE EN ROUTE.

Mr, John A. Walsh last Thursfay instituted suit against Thos. J. Brady, ex-Second Assistant Post- master General, in the supreme court of the state of New York, for sums aggregating in round num- Ders $28,000, for money loaned. This suit is the same as that entered by Walsh against Brady in the District courts. Walsh’s claim against Brady bore a conspicuous part in the late star route trials. Walsh testified to having loaned Brady the money in question, and that at a subsequent interview Brady took the notes from him and told him, tn substance, that he considered the money supposed to be loaned as payment for expediting hls (Walsh's) star route. fois afternoon Messrs Hine and Thomas, Mr. Walsh’s attorneys in this city, took the usual steps to dismiss the suit entered by Walsh against Brady here. In a letter to his attorneys tnstruct- ing them to dismiss the sult, Mr. Walsh states his reasons as follows: “Ido not beileve I can get Justice in the city of Washington. I am not Willing to try my action before a jury of that place. The United States have permitted me to be grossly beled while a ‘witness on its behalf without puulshing the offen- ders therefor, notwithstanding I placed to its pos- session the proofs, etc., which fact 1s calculated to create prejudice ‘against me in my civil action against Brady. I will examine Brady on the 31 of October next, as also Wm. Pitt Kellogg, having obtained an order to that effect from Judge Dono- hue yesterday. I got service on both of them.” Mr. Thomas, of the firm of Hine & Thomas, stated to a Sra reporter that,on account of the Tesult of the recent star route trial, he had ad- vised the dismissal of the suit. He dia not think that Walsh had been treated fairly by the govern- ment, which had taken no steps to defend him. One advantage he had in transferring his suit to the New York state courts was tn securing the ad- Vantage of better machinery. It Price, Kellogg, and other witnesses were summoned there and re- fused to testify they could be sent to jalL Here nothing could be done with them. = ges The Jockey Club Races. WESTERN RACK HORSES COMING—A LARGE CONTIN- GENT FROM KENTUCKY, The efforts being made by the executive com- mittee of the Jockey club to gather all the noied Tace horses of the east and west at the meeting to be held at Ivy City during the second week of Oc- tober, are likely to far exceed the expectations at first entertained. It was thought that the ex- tended meeting at Loutsville would have a ten- dency to keep the racing establishments of the blue-grass region from coming east in October, but Secretary McIntyre, of the Jockey club, this morning received advices from Kentucky that the stabies of Messrs. B. G. Thomas, John B. Richard- son, James Murphy, George Cadwalladar, Richard Johnson, and Louis P. “Tarlion, of Lexington; Bowen & Co. and Sweeney & Mcintyre, of Parls: Peter C. Fox, of Loutsville, and J. T. Williams, of Maysville, will come on and take part in the races here. These stables will leave Louisville on Mon- day, October 8th, on which day the regular meet- ing of the Louisvilie club will terminate. They will come through by the Chesapeake and Oto railroad direct to this city, The probabilittes are that others than those above named will also bring their stables here, as the turfmen and sportsmen of all sections seem to appreciate the Mberality of the officers of our local Jockey club. Some efforts have Deen made to hoid the Ken- tucky stables at Loutsville, but it curns out that the horsemen will not remain there to contest for $200 purses when other clubs are offering $500 and $600 for races over the same distance of ground. Our home club ts the youngest of the Jockey club organizations, but by the energy, enterprise and lberallty of its officers {t has attained the very front rank. If their efforts are properly seconded by the eltizens of the District the October meetin} Wili be the most briillant ever held in the Unite States, There is no doubt the sport will be of the Most exciting character. The 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th of October will be * red-ietter ” day in the annals of the unrf hereabouts. Its the Intention of the club to carefully guard against all unfairness tn the selling of French pools at the coming meeting. There was some complaint last Spring about the pool sales, but the managers are determined there shall be'no ground for it here- after. Members of the executive committee will supervise the gelling of pools, —_—_»__ The District Estimates. INCREASED AMOUNTS FOR THE POLICE AND FIRE DE- PARTMENTS.—INCREASE OF BOTH FORCES—ESII- ‘MATES OF OTHEK DEPARTMENTS. The Commissioners have determined to increase the estimates for the police department $29,440 over the amount appropriated last year, making $331,000 for the next fiscal year; which, If assented to by the Secretary of the Treasury and by Congress, will enable them to butid a new station house for the sixth precinct, the cost of which 13to be $10,000; alsoa district stable for the ambulances.

HE REPLIES TO THE REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTER. Supervising Architect Hill haa submitted to Sec— Tetary Folger a reply to the recent report of the investigating committee. Mr. Hill holds that the conclusions of the committee were not justified by the evidence. In the technical affairs of the ofMice Mr, Hill claims that his own trained and professional judgment ts better than that of the committee, but intimates that it was impossible that justice could be obtained where the defense coull mike no objection without at once raising the presumption of making an effort to suppress a fair investigation. He takes up the modification of the fifteen per cent stone contract in which Mr. Murch was par- Uculirly interested, and calls actention to the fact the chief witness in this branch of the case admitted under oati his own peculations, yet the coinmittee never thought these things worthy of areimark. The verdict of official favoritism as to ils dealings with George L. Damon, of Boston,and Bartlett, Hayward & Co., of Baltimore, Mr. Hill mulntains, has no foundation. The purpose of the law Is to give the government the benefit of the very lowest ratesin its purchases In one case evidence was furnished that the rates obtained were 80 exceedingly low that safe-makers had de- clined to compete with Mr. Damon. In regard to the Cincinnati shutters Mr. Hill says the qualifications of the committee as ex- THE COMING REGATTA ‘The Prizes Attracting Great Attention. The prizes for the coming Potomac regatta are all upon exhibition in the windows of Messrs. Galt £Co., and Messrs, Moore and Leding, and make an elegant display. There ts always an admiring crowd In front of the windows. In Gal's window are the three handsome silver cups—the Post's cup for the senior four, the merchants’ cup for the light weight, and ‘the Mason cup for the juntor ‘ours, and twenty-five Individual gold medals, of various desizns, and also the silk Danners for the winners of the crew races, THE PRIZE OFFSRED BY LADY FRIENDS OF THE POTOMAC CLUB. All of the medals have been described excepting the prize donated by the lady friends of the Poto- mac boat club. ‘This medal has Just been finished by Messrs. M. W. Galt, Bro. & Ca, The contest for its possession will be very spirited. Tho top bar, of Roman gold, 1s ornamented by a laurel branch diagonally across the center, and engraved in bright shaded letters are tho words “Junior S'n- gle.” Under the bar 13 cold boat pennant with the words “ Ladies’ Prize” attached to the oxy- dized ropes from which suspends the medal. The central figure of the medal ts a gold sea shell,with sliver-potnted trident, and around the shell, with edge of sliver rope on one side and bright raised edge on the other side, is a gold circle bearing the words Potomac River Regatta, 1883.” ‘The lower part of the shell and trident supports a wreath of laurel of green gold, whilst the top 1s ornamented by two polished oars crossed on the back. UNIQUE MEDALS FOR THE SENIOR FOURS, In Moore & Leding’s window are medals for the senior fours, the light-weight fours and the senior consolation single. The sentor four medals are of unique design and are very expensive, There 1sno pendant medallion, as is usually the case, but the modal itself tsa pin, formai of a gollen shield, with “Senior Four” and 1883" engraved upon it, with a monogram of the letters P. R. R in black enamel in the center. An oxydized rope twines gracefully around the shield, while xt the back are two crossed flags, which extend above the corners of the shield. ‘he flags are blue and white and red and white. THE MEDALS FOR THE LIGHT-WEIGHT RACB are very neat. From the bar pin hang two oxy- ized ropes, holding @ pair of oars crossed in such a Way as to be parallel with the pin. Two gold chains, extending from the center of the pin, and behind the oars, bear the medal proper, which consists of a plain gold shield, with the * Potomac River Regatta” and the monogram 1888 engraved upon it, THE CONSOLATION SINGLE, which was donated by Mr. Robert Holtzman, has a bar pin, with the namo of the race engraved upon it. From it is suspended by gold chains a delicately tinted shell (not a boat), and from the shell hangs tae medal proper, which is of plain gold, with a single sculler at full spebd engraved U:0n it, with shore and boat house in thedistance. ‘The medal 1s partly surrounded by a wreath of golden oak leaves. REGATTA NOTES. The regatta committee are hard at work com- pleting arrangements for the regatta, and all vi 1tors will be well taken care of, for notulng will be omitted which will add to their pleasure or comfort. The entries do not close until to-night, but enough have already been recetved to make every Tace a success, The elght-oared race will probably be placed near the close of the program. It wasthought the Metropolitan elght would surely be here, as well as the Uuton crew, but the probability of ‘the resence Of the Litter tended to prevent the enter ing of the former, and It was too Lave for them to get their crew in trim when it was learned that the Untons were not coming. The race will, there- fore, be rowed by the Colimbias and Potomacs alone, but will be none the less interesting on that account. From present appearances, it would seem that the Columbias have the best chance of crossing the line first. ‘The senior four race will be the most interesting event of the day. It will be contested by the Eurekas, of Newark, who won the championship at the national regatta; the Crescents, of Phili- delphia, and the Columbias and Potomacs, of Washington. The Columbia crew will consist of Nute, Kondrup, Wade and Nesmith, and the Poto- mac crew of Fraser, Baker, Ryan and McKinney. 4iThe junior four cared race wilt ba between the Analostans and Potomacs, The former crew will be J. Johnson, Eckst=in, Somers, and Patro, and the latter McRae, Whittington, Smallwood, and Doxon. The light weight rac> will also be between Po tomac ani Analostan crews, consisting of Hatchy Read, McKenny, and Ruff for the Analostans, and Fisher, Whittington, Kearney, and Warden for the Potomacs. ‘The Crescents and Penrsylvantis will contest the gig race, though a Columbia crew may also appear to fight for the handsome medals to be awarded to the winners, Pilkington and Schrier, of New York, and the pair from Harrisburz will probably be the only contestants for doubles, ‘The sentor singles will be rowed by Dempsey, Filktagton, Morse, Bryan, and perhaps others. Tue probability is that there will be but few en- tries 1n the junior single race. The special single race, for which such a hand- som? prize has been donated, will be hotly con- tested by a number of local s-ullers, and will prove One of the most interesting events of the day. sii Deiaata Suits by the District.
