Senator Ransom’s very emphatic declaration through Tue Srax that he would not exchange his seat In the Senate for a place in the Cabinet seems to have been accepted 1n good fatth by the polical prognosticators. In connection with suggestion that Senator Colquitt would succeed tary Lamar, one of the reasons assigned for the appotnument was that 1t would enable Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, to return to the U. 8. Senate. Secretary Lamar ahd Gov. Gordon are old friends, and {t was Said that the Secretary Was anxious 16 have Gordon return to public life in Washington, But the resignation of Senator Colquitt could not help Gov. Gordon to a seat in the Senate at pres. ent, as the vacancy wouid have to be tilled by ap- potitment of the governor, He might find a man who would ‘agree to accept the ad mterim appointment, and not be a candidate before the legislature, but even then the governor would have to take his chances in the legislature. ‘The political history of the country shows that as a rule men who have been appointed to keep Sena- Yorlal seats warm for others have become attached to the seats, and have made strong fights to hold on to them, But, aside from the tact that Gov. Gordon could not become Senator Colquitvs immediate successor, the Senator has come out in @ declaration ‘that he does not care Venter the Cabinet, Now it ts said that the Georgia democrats, aided by other party leaders of the South, have fixed upon ex-Con. ressman Hammond ag the successor of Secretary ar; that having become satistied that Mr. Lamar 'is to have the Supreme Court position, they have decided to press Mr. Hammond for the’ Sec- Fetaryship of the Interior.

Several months ago the East Washington Citt- zens’ Association petitioned the Commissioners to extend the fire limits within the boundaries of the city, but owing to the important questions in- Yolved the matter remained in abeyance until it Was submitted, some weeks ago, to Fire Marshal Drew for a report upon. the advisability of the ex- tension, His report: made July 7th, and he examined all that portion of the city outside tne fire limits bounded by 11th street east and I street: south, In that section bounded by Maryland ave- nue and Boundary street, 1th and 15th streets, he found it sparsely bulit’upon and containing an. equal number of brick and trame houses; but so far as the section east of J5ta street 1s con cerned, he states that in some squares there 4s not a housé to be found, and then they ure only one-story shantles. ®ie land 1s shuply what is termed old cominons, hills, hollows, and otches with no strects cut through. Acting upon the advice given by Ubis report. tne Commissioners ordered the ex- tension, as above stated, THE BUILDING INSPECTOR'S VIEWS. Building Inspector Entwisle said toa Star re- Porter that he had recommended the extension to cover the section bounded on the east by the west ‘bank of the canal, on the north by I street, on the South by P street, and on the west by the river. He cousiders that the extension over the other parts is unnecessary. “Why,” sald he, “look at ‘Ube map, and you will see that there fs not a street open or improved east of 11th street east, and I do not see any reason for making people build brick houses out there.” Mr. Entwisle has always been opposed to the further extension of the fire Mmits, and believes that it imposes hardships upon the poor people of the city, and drives them UW live in alleys, He sald that he is giad, however, that the people who were interested in securing ‘the extension have gained no more than this. ‘THE EAST WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION.

Mr. M. 1. Weller, a prominent member of the association, said to the reporter, “Our assoclation Will pass a vote of thanks to the District Commis- siouers. We want to force these men who have been making 20 per cent on their investments in East Washington to come down to 12 per cent. ‘The houses. to be condemned are those rows of frame tinder-boxes Which the speculators run up at @ cost of from $300 lo $400 each, and Uhen rent them for over 39 a month. ‘Tis extension will have a good elect, Iv will force these men to build. brick houses, upon Which Ubey can make at the least a rout of 12 per cent, Then, again, it will help istrict industries, ‘hese bricks are made here, are of District ground, and the wages paid for their manulacture go’ to District workmen, who Spend tueir money in the District.

Volunteers After serving for about eighteen months he left his regiment and drifted to Elmira, N.Y. He was. reported as adeserter. On June the 12th, 1868, he died a claim for pension, alleging that he had Incurred disease of the eyes at Stafford Court House, Virginia, in August, 1863, which resuited tn total blindness. The claim had been pending fora long time in the Bureau of Pensions, and Was finally ordered for special examination, and on the resulting report was rejected. It was allowed toslumber several years, when it was reopened upon the claimant's Mling additional testimony, specially examined again, and the former action of the office in rejecting’ the claim adhered to, About nine months ago the clatm was again re: ‘ned upon the afidavits of reputable citizens of Elmira, the charge of desertion was removed by the War Department, new testinony was fled,and the claim nally allowed, and was paid during the first half of the past moffth (June), After Patterson obtained the’ pension money (about $13,300) from the Syracuse agency he went W Lock Haven, and irom there to Wililamsport, Pa,, {t ts suid, vo escape the proceedings instituted ‘to declare bia a lunatic, DR.

The doctor, atan early date, manifested un interest in tne claim, and finally obtained a power of attoriey to transact Patterson's business and induced him to la with a large amount of the money, which the doctor is alleged to have appro- rated to his own use, and Which the Bureau of nsions has been industriously unearthing dur. ing the past tew days. Patterson also disposed of seVeral thousand more of the money, as will be seen hereinafter. After obtaining possession of the lton’s share of the money Mills sent Patterson to Waverly, Pa., and cautioned him not to return Lo the State of New York, Mills himseif left imine- diately for the South, PURSUIT AND AWREST OF THR ACCUSED MEX. On Friday, the 17th ultimo, during the absence of the Commissioner of Pensions, one of the depu- Ues received papers indicating that the pension had been paid, and that a fraud had been perpe- trated upon the pensioner, and probably upon the the Government. Steps were immediately taken, for the arrest of the guilty parties, Le recovery of the money obtained by frauduleat means, and for the determination of the status of the claim. On the following day (Saturday), at the return o7 Gen. Black, the Commissioner, after some days’ ab- sence, he learned of the fraud, took instant and vigorous measures to — the investigation and t0 make swift work of the prosecution and punishment of the guilty. At the outset of the investigation 1t was ascertained that Mills had gone to Virginia, Where he was followed Ww his retreat 11 the Biue Kidge by a special ex- alner of the Pension Bureau, Who With Ube ald of local officers arrested Mills at the house of his sister, at Stanardsville. It was learned that, soon after Dr, Mills’ arrival there, he was joined by his Wife and subsequently by John Laidlaw, of E.mira, another of the alleged conspirators, WO Was alsd arrested, SCATTERING THE MONEY. Sosoon as Mills arrived at Standardsville he began toscatter the fllgotten money recklessly.

A search of the house of Mills’ sister, at Stan- ardsville, where he had been stopping, uncovered $4,090 in gold, which was secured. Mills and Laid law, when brought to Washington, were accom- panied by Mrs. aflils She was searched, and there ‘Was found upon her person $635 In paper currency, which she and he adinitted was a part of the Pat terson pension money, AUthts timeit was learned that $5,050 of the money was put Into a mortgage (in favor of Patterson) on a hotel at Wellsburg, Chemung County, N. ¥., and $2,300 deposited with a bank at Lock Haven, Pa., and proper steps were at once taken by the Commissioner for the recov- ery of the money, &c. Mills and Laidlaw were subsequently reméved to Elmira, put under $400 bonds; re-arrested by the Bureau of Pensions, sent to Binghampton, and there held, each of them, in $5,000 bail to await the action of the rand jury. ‘The former succeeded in securing Baik" due Porter, che captain of Patterson's cous pany, and an important affiant in the claim, was also put under $5,000 bail, PATTERSON CAPTURED. After Mills’ arrest Patterson was spirited away from Waverly, and It was ascertained that he had gone to meet Stills at Stanardsvilie, Va., not know- ing of the latter's arrest. ‘The Comuissioner of Pensions ascertaining tat Patterson had left Stanardsville on the 27th ultimo, had him appre- hended on the following day at Gordonsville, Va., where Patterson Was found in company with his wife and the seventeen-year-old son of the doctor. They were brought to Washington, where Mrs. Patterson was searched, and on her ; found a certificate of deposit for the Lock Haven, Pa., and $62 in money. - The old man en route to Washington showed much jealousy of his Wife, and insisted that she retire with him to the smoking car, away from the wiles of a sus- ted admirer.’ They, with young Mills, lett for ‘mira, accompanied Uy. an ollicer, on Weunesday last, a week ago.
