Harbor Master Sutton was asked by aSTaR, reporter his opinion of the necessity for contin- wing the work and replied: “The work should not be suspended under any consideration. It has reached such a stage now that a stoppage for any length of time would be very disas- trous. I am Just as much interested in seeing the dredges kept at work as any wharf owner, for I can see from day to day almost the Provement in the chanuels. We can’t have the channels too wide or too deep.” “What must be the result of stopping the work?” asked the reporter. “Why, in the first place, these channels upon which $0 much money ‘has been expended, would become filled in, particularly the Wash: ington channel, so that navigation would be almost impossible. You see, with the work re- maining as it now stands, every time there is a rise in the river the material from the section be- tween Long bridge and the sewer canal will be Washed down into the Washington channel, ‘Thereisanother!mportant pointin this matter, gontinued Mr, Sutton, “which seems to have been overlooked, and that is the effect upon the sanitary condition of Washington, It may not Seem very Important just now, but in case of an epideinic of any kind the decaying vegeta- ble matter on the flats, uncovered at low water and exposed toa burning summer sun, would poison the breezes which blow from the south with most disastrous effects. Then, those who are now opposing the work would egret. what they had done. The sewer canal runs across the flats from the foot ot 17th street, and emptying into the Virginia channel. AS yet that: channel does not afford a sufficient outlet for the sewer, and every time there is the least high water, the filth from the sewer instead of being carried off by the Virginia channel backs up in the sewer canal, and udds no little to the malarious influences of the flats, In my opinion there is every reason why the work should be prosecuted as vigorously as possible, and none tor suspending it.” oe aa THE PAN-ELECTRIC INQUIRY. Attorney General Garinnd Asserts that His Stock Was Not a Gift. Continuing his testimony after Tue Star's report closed yesterday Attorney General Gar- land told the telepho ne investigating commit- tee that the statement that his Pan-Electric Stock was a gift was untrue. He denied that there was any Impropriety in his holding the stock, It was a legitimate business and he had never dreamed of seeking any legislation. In explaining how he obtaiued his stock he said five or six persons had come together for the organization of @ company, and they had made assessments, the first move being to give @ note for $1,000, which was followed’ by” as- sesments of $50 or $100 each. He did not re- gard the inventions as having any marketable value. The company was to establish thelr uillity and put them on the market. He denied that he had thought of using his official posi- tion to advance the interests of the company, and said that he could have done better as private citizen tnan as an officer. | He would ave as soon thought of Jumping into the Po- tomae with a mill-stone ubout bis neck as to use his official position for the company, Mr. Ranney asked if the Attorney General regarded his stock as a purcliase, since he sald it was not a gift. ‘Witness replied that it was not precisely a purchase; it would be difficult to define itin one word, Suill, taking the assessments into consideration, it might be called a purchase, He was $400 out by the assessments. Witness said he never understood trom the cases he had read that anything more than the question of infringement nad been decided in each case. He never understood that the issue was Bell's broad claim to the art of telephony. Mr. Ranney asked why the witness, feeling that a party had a right to be heard—that they should not be deprived of that right—and the duty devolving on the solicitor general—had not referred tem to the solicitor general, ‘The witness answered that he did not want to be concerned in the matter at all. After he had examined it, he had concluded that it would be better for him not to suggest: where the applicants should go. Continuing, Mr. Gar- Jand said it was due to ail sides that he should state the fact that after he had declined to take any action in the matter of ordering suits, a number of prominent gentlemen—legal gentle- men—had written to hin insisting that, not- withstanding his connection with the’ Pan- Electric, it was bis duty to have brought the suit; some of the most promlaent men in the country had written to that effect, Mr. Oates asked if since he hud been Attor- ney General he had everdone anything directly ‘orindirectly to enhance the interests of the pan electric. ‘Witness replied: “I cannot call to mind any thought, action, or word of mine since I have become ‘Attorney General that is calculated in the remotest degree to increase the value ot that stock, or enhance its value inany way.

How the Gallant New York Regiment Came to the Defense of Washington. THE VISIT TO THIS CITY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO—SURVIVOKS OF THAT EXPEDITIGN—THE RECEPTION GIVEN TO THE COMMAND AT THAT TIME. The start of the 7th regiment from New York for Washington a quarter of a century ago was one of the most dramatic of the many dramatic incidents of the outbreak of the civil war. Fort Sumter had been fired upon by Beauregard’s cannon on Saturday, the 13th of April. On the following Monday—the 15th—tho President's Proclamation was issued calling for the militia of the republic to the number of 75,000 men. Five days later the 7th was on Its way to the front, and six days after they had started they were in Washington. But the regiment did not have an easy road to travel. From Annapolis to Annapolis Junction they had to rebuild the torn-up railroad track, and after a twenty-mile march through swampy aud gorges they reached their destination. The capital had been isolated from the rest of the country for ten days, and a feeling of relief was experienced pot gnly at Washington, but in the country at THE NEWS FROM FORT SUMTER. On the night before President Lincoln’s call for troops was issued the first company of the ‘7th regiment had been ordered to assemble for an exhibition drill at “the new drill-room” in Tompkins market, New York, The armor. crowded with spectators, and Captain Bensel exercised his command’ in various compan movements, including loading and firing, call- ing forth rounds ot ‘applause. Suddenly the news came and was announced in the armory that Fort Sumter had fallen. It created the wildest excitement. On the following day tive hundred members of the regiment signed a paper offering their services te the goverament. in April 17, 1861, the 7th regiment received the call for troops and immediately took action. The board of officers expressed to Governor Morgan their willingness to go. General San- ford, commanding the division, received late on Wednesday evening, April 18, an order from Governor Morgan ordering tho regiment to go to Washington, It was too late to start that night, so it was arranged to goon the 19th, It the regiment could have gone on the 17th they would have preceded the famous 6th Massa- chusetts, In the aiternoon of the 19th the regi- ment, numbering 991 men, marched down Broadway on its way to the’ railroad station. Its ranks were subsequently swelled by the arrival of reeruits. SURVIVORS OF THE OLD SEVENTH, Of the men who came from New York in 1861 to represent that clty at the detense of the na- tonal capital the following survive to take part in the present anniversary celebration. ‘There will be butelght who marched with it when it answered President Lincoln's call twenty-five Yyeurs ago.

OTHER TRIPS soUTHWARD, ‘The 7th regiment responded again to call for troops in 1862, and were stationed for a time in Baltimore aud Fortress Monroe. The ment made a trip south also several years before the waras an escort to the remains of Ex- President Monroe, whose body was takeu from New York to Richmond, Va, for burial. ‘Tho regiment also participated {n the dedication procession when the Equestrian statue of Wash- jugton was unyelled iu this city, on February 22, 1860, and made a magnificent display. Subsequently a handsome stand of colors was ordered by the mayor and city councils for pre- sentation to the regiment, “A committee of members of thecity councils and a delegation. of citizens visited New York the following sum-) merand Mr. Robert Ould, then district, attor- ney, presented the colors. ’ There were in this delegation with Mr. Ould, Messrs, Matshall Brown, Elijah Edmonston, Chas. W. Boteler, A. F, Cunningham, Wm. Morgan, W. H. W: J. F. Halliday, John F. Cogle and otbei there is but éne known survivor, Mr. W. Morgan. A TRAINING SCHOOL FOR OFFICERS, During the war 606 members of the regiment became officers in the regular and volunteer army. Fifty-eight of these were icilied or died ‘9f wounds while in the United States Four of these officers at. thelr deaths were cols: nels, four lieutenunt-colonels, three majors, and twetty-alx captains.

They arrived at the Annapolis Junction, a8 above stated, at daybreak, alter a most fatigu- ing march, ‘he regiment numbers, including its engineer corpsand howitzer compiny,one thousand men, having recelved accessions to their number té that extent since leaving New York. They left at Annapolis, preparing to follow, on notice, the New York 5th, 12th, Goth aud 71st regi: ments, and the Rhode Island troops under Gov. Sprague. Large bodies of northern troops were on thelr way to Annapolis, vis Perryville. No attack was ‘made on the 7th from any quarter during the march, but numbers of men, on horseback and on foot, were seen watching their progress through. Shortly before one o'clock the 7th regiment emerged from the railroad de- pot, and marched up the avenue, presenting its usual superb appearance, notwithstanding the fatigue and exposure consequent upon their toilsome march from Annapolis to the Junction and the tedious work of railroad build- ing connected with their march. As they proceeded up the avenue, heralded by the mag- niflcent reginiental bund, the scene was the most brilliant gad oxciting imaginable. House tos, balconies und sidewalks were black with people, shouting us if mad, while handkerchiefs were waved, bells rung, and every indication of joy manifested that the brave soldiers who, by lying report, had been cut in pieces, or repulsed and scattered in their transit through Maryland, were in propria per- song and nota man hurt. The Secretary of State, on learning of the ar- rival of the regiment, hastened down In his car- Hage to meet them as they eame up from the lepot. ‘The regiment passed up the ayenue to the Executive Mansion, where the President, ac- gompanted by the Secretary of State und the Secretary of War, came out upon the portico and reviewed them. ‘The men looked and marched admirably, and were greeted every where with enthusiastic cheers, showing that the loyal spirit of the Capital is now aroused to a point where it rivals that of the Empire State. ‘The regiment was then marched off to quar- ters, beiug distributed to various parts of the towh. On leaving their armory in New York the 7th regiment mustered as follows: First company, 64 men, 3 commissioned offi- cers and 4 sergeants.

Representative Viele’s Recollections of the Seventh in 1861. Gen. Viele, of New York, now a member of Congress, was a captain of the New York 7th regiment, To-day he told a Stak reporter of ‘one feature of the visit of that regiment to Washington in ’61, which has not before been made public. Gen. Viele, being a West Point graduate, some little time before the wat broke ut the colonel of the 7th asked him to under. take the task of instructing the regiment in campaigning, of which they were entirely ignorant, the colonel knowing as little. Gen, Viele became captain and put the regiment through @ course of instructions. When the war broke out they were ready to defend the nation. When the regiment slarted for Wack, ton Gen. Viele was detained at the bedside of a of his fumily who was at the polat of death. Communication with cay rumors of the condition had. All was 7th tal. 4 they had been drilled so that they would move and handle their guns well. They marched in good form amid the shouts of their fellow-citi- Zens, to the dock where lay the steamer Day- light, which had been chartered, and was ready woreceive them. During THE JOURNEY TO FORT MONROE the men were put through a rigid drill on deck of the steamer, Capt. Viele giving them instrue- tions every day. During the trip a young man Introduced himselt to Capt. Viele as “Lieut, Horace Porter, saying that he was endeavoring to reach his regiment, but had failed, and offer- ing to serve with the New York boys. Being satistied of his position, Capt. Viele accepted his offer with the understanding that he must be subject two his orders. This young Porter agreed to, and after that assisted Capt. Viele in drilling and instructing the men. “At Fort Monroe, which they reached by a forced pass- age, they found two or three men of war and Were warned not to go nearer Washington. The ‘7th regiment proper, they were toid, had gone to Annapolis, as had Gen. Butler, with 3,000 me “You can’t go up the Potomac to Washing- ton,” said the commandant. “The rebels have fortifications above. They have possession of every thing. You can’t make it, Gen. Butler with three thousand men, did not think It sate. You will come across the rebels In force.” “But that’s what we caine tor,” sald Capt. Viele, “We are to protect the capital; if the rebels are so near, it’s time we should be there.” THE PASSAGE OF THE POTOMAC. Then he asked if they could furnish him with cannon, The commandant gave them two Dahlgren howitzers. These were mounted upon the bows of the Daylight, and Lieut, Horace Porter was put in command of them. The engines were protected by the coal bunk- ers, and Lieut. Porter drilled his men with the artillery. They steamed up the river tor Wash- ington. “At Fort Washington a shot was fired across’ their bows. This unnoticed was fol- lowed by around shot, and. they then stopped at the fort. ‘The officers in command told them they could not go further without ranning the risk of getting blown out of the water. He re- peated the statements that had been inade at Fort Monroe, and said that the rebels had forti- fications at Alexandria; that a rebel flag floated over the city. They had possession of every thing, and 1t would not be safe for the Daylight to advance further. Capt. Viele said they in- tended to go, and on they went. As they APPROACHED ALEXANDRIA, they saw the confederate flag flying high, and they went on, expecting to come across forti- fications and have their progress challenged. But they were not molested. When they got ‘opposite the city they saw one solitary sentinel marebing up and down in his shirt sleeves, ‘This and the flag was all. ‘They reached Wasa- ington and learned that they bad been the first to come up the Potomac. The 7th regiinent proper had reached the city by land the day be- fore, and it was ten hours later before Gen. Burnside and the Rhode Island boys came up in the wakeof the Daylight, Cupt. Viele wanted to report to the President at once, and looked for a conveyance to take him to the White House, All the horses hud been sent out of the city for fear that they might fall into the hands of the euemy, und many of the people, Gen. Viele said, Were terror stricken. Some’ cried when they greeted the soldiers. " Finally the captain found one old three-legged horse that had been allowed to stay In the elty because his fourth leg was too bad for use. “This horse, with the assistance of the neighbors, was hitch¢d to AN OLD MILK WAGON, ‘and in this he drove to the White House. Presi- dent Lincoln was out—gone tochurch the at- tendant said, so the captain left his report and & map of the’Potomae with the places marked where the bouys had been removed by the con- federates. When he got back to the wharf he found the President and Secretary Stanton there. It was raining hard, and tour soldiers held a canvas over the President’s head while he addressed the men. He shook hands with every man from the captain tw the cook, and spoke in the highest pralse of their daring’ ven- ture, “That night,” Gen, Viele says, “I slepton the floor of the Hall of Representatives, where Tnow have a seat.” The Migration of the Geese. From the Hartford Times, April 13. The wild geese, whose large v-shaped flocks continue to pass over Connecticut daily and nightly, heading for the frozen shores of Labra- dor and Bafin’s bay, are adding their lofty tes- timony to the multiplying proofs of the great fact that at least-the long northern winter is gone.

The initiai “spiritrapping” phenomena began in March, 1848, in the family of John D. Fox, in Hydeviile, Wayne county, N.Y.

On the night of March 1, when the raps occurred, Kate imitated them by'snapping her fingers,and the raps responded by the same number of sounds.

There was no sound. She then said: “If you are a spirit make two distinct sounds.” Two raps were ac- cordingly heard. Three weeks afterward it wasmade known by the raps that the body of a murdered man lay ‘buried in the cellar, and the exact spot was indicated where partsof a human skeleton were actually found. The name of the mur- dered man Was given, and it was learned that five years before such a person had vi house and had suddenly and mysteriously dis- ae ‘while the raps occurred only in the resence of the two sisters, Mat Katte. “Tne family having remove aretta and | have been an expert poker- to Roches- | Very probable.
