8 Pe WASHINGTON Speech of Menard, the Colored Congressman Elect, Before the Election Committee, Bill for the Construction of an East River Bridge Introduced in the Senate, Arother Specie Payment Bill in the House. WASHINOTON, Jan, 22, 1869, “The Overlund Mail Contract. ‘The ‘Welis-Fargo investigathg commitiee had a nuiober of witnesses before them to-day, but nothing ‘of importance wes elicited. Among those examined was J. 0. Casement, of the Union Pacific Railroad. He teatifed that the accumulation of mall matter wiong the route took place when the old contract with Wells, Fergo & Co. exptred, and before the new one’was made. Mr. Spaids, the son of the man who ‘Was the lowest bidder fer the contract, testified thet ‘himself and his father efered to carry the mails for $700,000 less than Wells, Fargo & Co., but they cousd not get any satisfactory answer to their letter. ‘Mr. Tiltow, a banker of New York, who seems to have been the backer of Mr. Spaids, corroborated this statement. The whole thing is very much mixed up, aud the investigation does not promise much, except the usual expense to the government for wit- nesses, phonographers and printing. Nominations by the President. ‘The President nominated to the Sevate to-day Jo- ‘ewart, of Maryland, to be Minisier to Con- sitinople; Selah Waters, of Tennessee, to be Min- ister Nesident at Eucador; Delos Lake, to be United s Attorney for the district of California; J. M. to be Pension Agent at St. Louls, ‘The Lonistana Contested Election Case. Men va, the colored Congressman from Louisiana, cd before the Committee on Elections to-day and made an e'aborate argument tn bis own behalf. Ve spoke without any embarrassment, and seemed to be thoroughly posted avout the whole matter. The committee were very favorably impressed with his epeech, There seems to be a general understanding that, whatever is done in the case, Menard will not ge! bis seat, for the reason that with all the boasted Jove for the negro expressed by the radical Congress- men they haye no desire to have him occupy a seat along with them in the House. The Virginia Conservative Delegation. Colonel John B, Baldwin, with a large delegation of conservative citizens of Virginia, were before the Reconstruction Commiftee to-day, representing thelr eide of the controversy about the admission of the Old Dowinion to representation in Congress, Colonel Baldwin stated that the portion of the people of Virginia which he represented were desirous only of the restoration of peace and prosperity to the State. They did not see& oficial positions, nor were they anxious to obtain control of the State. He said he had never heard anything against the judges whom the radicals’ are clamoring to have removed, except from persons who were known to be candidates for their places. Governor Routwell, chairman of the committee, said that While Congress was disposed to deal fairly with the people of the late rebellious States, their experience proved that when they, the people, obtained control of affairs they did not do right by the negroes and ‘the loyal whites, Colonel Baldwin replied that he could assure him there was no such disposition upon the part of the people of Virginia. He assured him that both the negroes and the whites of all parties ‘wonld receive full protection. The people of Vir- einia were anxious for emigration from the North, @8 well as from Europe, and would do all they could to encourage it. Colonel Baldwin is to appear again before the committee next week. ‘The Alleged Aluska Frauds. ‘The famous Colonel Martin was before the House Committee on Public Expenditures to-day, but was not formally examined on account of the investigation relative to Wells, Fargo & Co. In conversation with members of the committee he stated that ail his In- formation as to the supposed Alaska frauds was derived from Mr. Tasistro, formerly of wwe State Department.

This law is explicit and imperative, and gives no discretion to the Commissioner or to any other oMcer to modify its operation. Construction of Metric Standards. ‘The Superintendent of the Coast Survey, in aletter to Secretary McCulloch, says fifty sets of metric standards are in process of constraction, Of these fifty braas meters are ready for dividing in the cases, and thirteen tracers for copying graduation are fin- ished. The apparatus for making the graduation is constracted and very nearly adjusted. Fifty kilo- grammes are made, of which tweuty-seven are in boxes and sixteen adjusted. Fifty demikilos and six decakilos are ready for adjusting and six deca- kilos under way. Twelve litres are partly finished, and four litres are wholiy finished, but not yet ad- justed. The Superintendent recommends the appro- Priation of $20,000 for the construction of metric atandards, to be furnished each State according to the act of July 27, 1866. He says the cost of each set 1s $400, The reason for constructing fifty seta is to have enough to supply future States, Decisions by the Secretary of the Treasury. ‘The following decisions were made by the Secre- tary of the Treasury during last month, in reply to queries received from officers of the department thronghout the country:— Where a security for a collector's bond becomes valueless the collector will be called on for another, not in place of but in addition to the previous one. ‘The former security cannot be withdrawn.

The gale took place In a dingy, dirty room, in atumble-down house near Catharine street, where the light of day penetrates seldom and the warmth of the sun never. About bts apartment upon sheives Diack with the accumulated dust of years, were piled the gouds that were Knocked down to the highest Widder—every species of wearing apparel, from a baby’s bib Lo a palr of worn ont overalls, There were periy of some marricd an—and shirts with a few, which Lad escaped the wear and tear of “bard times;"* women's dresses, of faded silk and satin, bespangled with theatrical tinsel, and dreases which bore the marks of terrible struggling with wash- boards and serabbing brushes; pantaloona, socks and coats, and id omnes gents of apparel.

It was not larce, but it was quite select, The male purchavers were nearly all devotees of old elo’, and the women of all ages and conditions of poverty, the majority being olf women of the Toodies school, bundied up in tattered clothing that had seen many a dismal winter before last New Year's day, ond baving about them a pleasant oder of bad molasses and whiskey freely commingled.

To THE Ep:ToR OF THE HERALD:— ‘There are probably no charitable institutions tn this city of such general benefit as the various dis. pensaries for the relief of the sick and the injured; ‘and there are probably but few of which so little ts known, 80 unostentatious are they in their well doing, 80 private in their relief. They are all ar- ranged upon nearly the same plan, Each has @ building of more or less convenience, mainly divided into two large receiving rooms for patients and an apothecary’s apartment, which 1s copiously filled with every drug contained in the best retail pharmacy im the city, no matter how costly or rare or new; whatever medicine 1s needed ts supplied. Those en- gaged in dispensing the medicines are capable and well skilled in this branch, so far as I have any know- ledge, and 1 nave endeavored to be posted. The re- ceiving rooms divide the sexes. Opening from these rooms are smaller ones, answering for offices for the private examinations of patients, and in the main are suitably suppiiea with instruments and surgical appliances. ‘The professional attendance 19 performed by the gratuitous attendance of some dozen physicians in each dispensary, Who ,have each certain classes of diseases to attend to; as from nine to ten A. M., dis- eases of the skin; from ten to eleven, all surgical troubles; eleven to twelve, diseases of females, &c. Any person applying out of the proper hour is pre- scribed for, if necessary, and told to come the next time at the “special” hour when his clasa of diseases is treated. The physicians are not paid for these services. ‘They are mainly young men with plenty of leisure, and the opportunity thus obtained to study classes of affections fora prolonged period is justly con- sidered well worth the time devoted to the institu- tion, and its actual value is to be recognized by noting that almost all of the distinguished special- ists of New York have been through this curriculum. But there are many persons so seriously ill that they cannot come to the Dispensary. These are visited by another set of physicians who are called ae visiting physicians, and they are paid a nall salary of about $500 per annum. ‘The sick Send their names to the Dispensary, and the attending physicians cali upon them be- tween eleven A. M. und three P.M. bay Yois service is generally, 1 think, conscientiously and capably performed. The work is very lavorious, peg lta tne ascent of many stairs, the diving into ceilars, rear buildings, into and through filth, han- diing the most loathsome, dirty, drunken, abandoned of every class of society, exposed to attacks of auimals, of dranken and infuriated men and women, of pestilence that walketi at noonday and vermin that walk at all times and all over everything and everybody. ‘I'he love of science carries lts devotees where religion and humanity shrink back. No hired nurse, for less than 10 to $15 per day, would wait upon one sick with such diseases as these heroic physicians daily atteud to; ani these life-savers, alter years of study, toil aud experience, get but the pit- tance of $2 perday! It is no wonder that the titie of dispensary physician is a titie of honor, It is well deserved. Another charity attends to women in continement. From this statement the fact may be Inferred that all acute attacks of diseases and all accidents oc- curring at any time of the day must wait till eleven for relief, It is a fact weil recognized that Most diseases Manilest their first symptoms after dark. If you are rich you seud for your medical ad- viser, and the result is that your mund Is released, for the responsibility is thrown upon another's shoulders. Ofcen the body is relieved of pain and anguish by arte medication, and sometimes a threatening disease of magnitude is averted. But if you are poor, lie still and groan; let your wife hang over your pillow, and your children, ali sleep- jag in oné room, let them awake by your groans aud sympathizingly deplore your sufferings; but you get no reliel from a medical adviser till— eleven A. M. The Dispensary is ¢iosed; there is no use pulling at the bell or knocking at the siut- ters; no physician is there. Charity has tts limita- ton—it 18 imited to te hours between eleven A, M. and three P. M. Now tor the application. The New York City Dis- pensury, located on corner of White Cenire streets, isthe largest of the city dispensaries, located in the midst of the poorest part of the city, It ts applying tothe State for a donation of $30,000, It ought to have it, Lknow it. I was physician to it, serving both im the buliding and th the district, from 1844 to 1850, or thereabout, The amoant of good it does is incalculable, aud the State should not refuse one mo- ment to grant the required amount; but it should make it conditional that the poor should be attended day and night. The physicians are obtainable. Add $500 co the salaries of each of the present district physicians; require that they should hive tn the district; make ther residences as well known to the poor as the Dispensary, and the thing is accomplished. Or ies a night physician and have him sleep or be ou duty at tie Dispensary. In some way jak charity notonly adally, but a nightly virtue. nd other cities attend to the sick day agd night. Is New York less capable or less charitable? or ts not the fact that this deplor- ject of the sick and suffering 1s from igno- rance of tis actual existencer ‘The medical men often do look aiter the sick and the charity of the profession is well known to without stint. Let the State now evince the fact that all that is wanted is to know where Spry. So needed to siretch out the helping hand. Let the auaual subscribers doable their five dollars or ten oh cd annum and demand that sulfering be alleviated day and night, and especialiy by night, whea stillness and darkness seem to ag- gravate every ill; when the bell striking the lonely hours, dragging on so slowly ull eieven o'clock in the morning, sounds like the kneil of departed life. Remember the colte or the sudden ploeuritie in or the fearful chill which took you in the small hours about midnight; think of the relief which your phy. sician afforded; contrast your silken couch with the misery surrounding the poor, and thiak of the for- lorn without the soothing, couferting voice of an edneated helper, and if you can make this contrast ia n nund and then do nothing for your yw creatures, then God aed you, for in "the next you will need help. .
