WASHINGTON. rROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wamunotok, May 10, 1S70. PRE INVESTIGATIONS?ATTEMPTS OF TUB BE VUBLICANS TO BIURU THEM?A glMMABT OK THE RESULTS?WHAT HAS I1EEN ACCOM PLISHED IN CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES. The illness or ubseuce of member* of Congress and the impending holiday for the opening of the Centen nial Exbibiliou have continued to put a temporary mop to most of the Investigations going on in the House, and the results so fur shown have naturally become a natter of conversation und discussion. Many ol the republicans try to belittle the whole course ol the In realisations. They poiut out that blunders have been made, some of them laughable and ridiculous, iU<1 thev attempt to cast upou the whole of the inquiries the odium that they are partisuu. fluey say. too, that nothing has been discovered; that It is doubtful if Mr. lleiknap will be tried by the Sen ate, or If he will bo coudomncd il he Is tried; and thai "nobody else has boon Impeached." But tbo result ol those inquiries cannot be successfully belittled. It la quite true that Mr. Helknitp may escape; that some of j Uia Investigations have not produced tlio startling ro- i lulls which wore too couliduutly oxpected ol them; ! that gome witnesses have had a bad character, I ind their testimony was not credlblo, and j that early in tho session some inquiries were be/un, like that of Mr. Hluckburn into the President's absence i li'om the seat of government, with which Ctngri?s hud i no business. Hut the geueral result of the investiga tions, as the democrats rightly claim, has showu a :ouUition of uUalrs which, It it Is laid before tho people, as they mean to do In tho cauvass, can scarcely fail to have a powerful effect on tho public mind. lliese inquiries have showu I prevailing looseness in tho udmiuistrutlon ?f public trusts, which is for tho present overlooked, tccausu only u few people keep up with the progress ?f the numerous investigations, and bec.tuso tho timo las not yet come to make an Intelligent summary >f theui for tho popular Instruction. It muy, Tor Instance, bo impossible to convict Mr. Belknap, but the evidence before tho Clytner com in it tec proved beyond a doubt that post trudor Ibips. had becomo during the present administration Simply perquisites, given away by high ofllcers to rela tives or favorites, anJ sold by theao to tho actual trad ers. It lius been shown that a briber of the l'rosideut was employed at a regular saintly a mercantile Urm to procure thein government contracts. Mr. Kobcson Ills securely in his seat, hut It has been shown that n brother of his most intimate Iriend made a great sum of money out of naval contractors, aud that he himself favored a banking firm with large loans of government money in u timo of pautc and commercial depression. The investigation of the Kreedman's Hank manage ment shows looseness, extravagance aud favoritism in all its uiiaiis, which, considering tho objects of that bunk, ure really criminal. Ol the management of Indian uttairs It is needless to rpiak. The investigations havo showu, even at their present, stage, tho universal provalenco of favoritism, wastofuluess in tho expenditure of public money, looseness in the execution of trusts, the careless spending of tncuey without tho authority ol regular appropriations, lack of vigilance in the chief officers tud condoning ol neglect slid incapacity In the lower I (Beers, ospccially where they hull powerful political friends. It will not do beforo the people, democrats say, to assert that all this amounts to nothing, and that so long as a public olllcer has not been Impeached belore th^euato or put in jail by a jury his conduct shall be held blameless. Aud in this they are right They havo already gathered materials which, If they know how to digest them and put tlieiu forth in a readable shape, will give the republicans great difficulty to ex plain. The economies made on the appropriation bills themselves show how curoless and oxtravugant tho ad ministration of the government had become. In tho Diplomutio and Consular bill tho democrats made a mistake, which many ol them now see. Hut tho naval appropriation lias been cut down $6,000,000 below that of last year, and with no injury to tbo cfliclency of tho navy, as is admitted. Tbo Army bill was wisely sent to Secretary Talt lor revision, and he has easily recom mended a saving of over $&,0v)u,000l In the Indian service $7,000,000 or $8,000.0.10 will bo saved, if the Indian Ring does not prove too powerful for the House. Aud all these great savings are on the basis of the forces of last year. It is understood that some of tho ablest democrats ?ntlie House nro eugiifed In summarizing the result of tho investigations, aud that belore the sesBion closes these result* will be presented to the couutry iu ouo or two s|>eeches which will show in an in telligible and readable form what the Congressional inquiries have developed But tbo committees are by no means done. Some of them, as that appointed to inquire into the mauugement of the New Orleans Custom House, havo scarcely liegun. A good doal of work remains and there is no disposition to leave any thing undone. THE EIGHTH AND IMMUNITIES OF AMERICAN C1T1/EXS AEUOAD?AN ACT FOR Til LI 11 DEFI NITION' BEFUHK THE HOUSE?BOW THE DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP ARE AVOIDED. Tho bill defining tho privileges and immunities of American citizcns living In foreign countries will prub. nbly come up in (ho House within a Tow days. In ob ject is, by a fow plain and definite regulations, to enablo Americans, whether bom so or naturalized, whila liv ing abroad, to so make known their citizenship as to establish their right to the protection ol the govern ment without delay or dispute. If it becomes a law il will be an important convenience and sateguard to Americans in lorcicn countries; will prevent or set tle, without delay or expense, all dispute* u|>on the sul^ect with foreign govern ment* and will prevent persons not citizens trout using iraudulent naturalization papers, as is now done to a very great extent, to assort some vague but troublesome claims to the protection of the Dug under wlilcb, in many cises, It has been lound they never lived. A simple registration at the office of an Ameri can Minister or consul of Hie name and addrets of a citizen aud proof ol citizenship secure him all the right* of citizenship so long as he chooses to remain abroad. The bill also fixes the status of chil dren born abroad of Amuricau parents, or where one of tho parents :? an American citizen, and regulates the manner In which marriago between Americans may b? solemnized la foreign couulrie*. A residence abroad for over two years, with lailure to register in the tnauncr provided in the bill, works for feiture of citizenship, It is suggested that If the privilege 1* not worth that much trouble II Is not d-served. The question* which this bill 1* Intended to settle have cotne up within the last dozen year* before ino^t civilized governments for settlement; antl, In connec tion therewith, has bucoino known a singular fact, that a very largo number of persons, nowadays, prefer to livo out ol the country in which they claim citizenship or or which they acknowledge themselves subjects. Various motives impel them to this, but one of the chief reasons is believed to be the convenience of thus ?Touting tho duties ol citizcns or subjects in tboir own countries. It Is believed that many thousands of foreigners of diflorent nations aro now living lu this country with uo intention of boconung American eltl tens, but with a view to escape taxation aud military and other burdensome duties in their own countries, aud the number of Americans who go abroad to live for a term of years with nmilar views constantly increases. Such persons are apt to claim the protection of tbeir own government when they tali into difficulties, aud their increasing uumbers mako it expedient tor all governments to make dstlui c regulations by .which citizenship may be easily established, in order to avoid dolus too.

The Held, which is t beuutiful groans ward of timothy and blue grass, shaded by twenty-six walnut and blue ush trees, was densely lilted, and a picture very delightful to a New Yorker. Tho I idles ware out iu force and oiegunco, und taiked "horse" With tho iult'lligenco of experts. It was really a gala day for Kuntuckians, as the race bctwoeu Artstidua aud Ten Broock was reckoned to be a chumpion con test between tbo two best lour-year-olds in tbo West, or, |ieihaps, in any part cftho eouuiry, both the get of Engl sh horses, out ol Lexington mares?Aristldes by Lcuuilnglon and Ten ISroeck by i'haeton.

There was no reasou j for any chances In the betting, and it only happened I with the desires of the partisans of each horse to get their money on at any odds as soon as they readied tho track. Tho condition o( these horses j was considered to be period, aud the owners and truluers of each wore contldcnt ol success. This race was the second event ! of the day. The lirst was a mile heat race, hut with' j the except on of looking at tho running tho speculators i contiiiod themselves exclusively to the "champion race,''as it was callcd. MILE IIKATH.

When the colts took "their tire liaiiuary canters up and dowu the truck beiore the start, great admiration ol' thoir condition was ex pressed by tho multitude, aud as the horses moved down to thoir places at the furlong-polo, thuro was a silenco that was remarkable. At tho llrst time of ask ing the Hag fell with Ten Broecu ou the Inside. Then a puro Kentucky scrcoch rent the air.

NEW PLATS FOB MISS GENEVIEVE WAliD. London, April 29. ISTtt. Miss Mary Koemle, who will bo bcilcMtnown to yoa as Miss Kalo Field, made her Urst appearance on the London Hige on Wednesday afternoon last ami ob tained a getiuine success as Vol into, in Tohin's stand ard play ol "The Honeymoon." Miss Genevieve Ward played the part of Juliauu. Tho other charac ters were represented by actors who did anything but assist our two lair Ainoricuus in their labors. Miss Field does uot come to London as a totally inexperi enced actress, for 1 believe she has had some minor engagements In tho provlucial towns of t ho north where sho gamed cousiderablo reputation in n quiet way. She adopted there the name OT Mary Keemlo, and under tho shelter of tills num it' thfuire ea:ne to Loudon, where uone of tho critics knew of her real nunio and position in tho world of literature und the platform. 1 think I shall do Miss Field onlf Justice if, ; instead of giving you any ol my own views, 1 >|Uoto ; those of the London papers, which will give her Iricnds an unprejudiced idea of her reception. WHAT TUB LONDON r.tl'KKS SAY. The Athrunum mys:?"Tobln's comedy of 'The lloncynioon,' revived at a Gaioty matinee, showed to advautage Miss Genevieve Ward, who gave u clever and Kpirned perlormanco us tho heroine, Juliuna. It. tho part ol Volatile Miss Marv Keeiule aiad? her tlrst ap pearance on the London stage. Sho is uu actress of much intelligence aud vivacity, aud her performance evinced a genuine Iceling lor comedy." Tho IJIobr said:?''111 the part of Volanlo Miss Mary Kecmlc inado her first appearance In Kncland. Some truces or nervousness were apparent, but the imper sonation was bright, animated aud intelligent." The .Sutultty 'ISme* Hays:?"lu the part of Volante Miss Mary Koomle, a young actress ol dlstiucl power and remarkable intelligence, made her llrsl ap|iearanco on the London stage. Her performance was bright aud vivacious, and siiowed great aptitude lor comedy." Tho Ilurnrt says:?".Miss Mary Keeuilo made a highly promising iirsl appearance. She looked the part of tho lively Volatile to the lile and played It with arch and uucxaggernicd vivacity, Sho listens ex tremely well, is always rn xnnr, and will uo doubt prove extremely successful iu high cotuody." 1 think theso notices do not overstato ibo truth, and It is probablo that Miss Flold will, il she socuro u reg ular engagement, become a pleasing aud popular actreta, for Bhu Introduces the olcncut of intellect uality In her performance which la usually so appar ently lacking on tho Locdou stage. UEXCVIKVK WAUD. Two plays are boing written lor Miss Genevlfcvo Ward, one by Mils Aylmer Dlako, who, iu%holesomo droad of literary pirates, keojis her subject a secret; whilo claiming, and In this'she Is sustained by tho actress, that It la immensely powerful and dramatic. So much is given to the public?that it is nlstorical; a reproduction ol one of tho momentous dramas In real lile enacted iu early Knglish history. THE SUIUKCT or THK SKl'OXD PLAY was suggested by Miss Ward hersell, und is engaging tho attention of two playwright. Mr. 1'algrave Simp son, the maker of plots, aud Mr. W. G. Wilis, uuthor of "Charles 1." and other plays which have achieved it deserved success. Thus if high art manufactured in the nineteenth century. The "Kdipus of Sophocles." following up the success of tbo "Antigone," will shortly bo brought out for tho benellt of Miss Wuru at the Crystal l'aluce. "Venice Preserved,'' revived at the Gaiety for Miss Ward's benellt, ulforded that actress an opportunity ol displaying her varied {towers In the (treat rbte of Beive dera. Her succcss was decisive and brilliant?ono of tho greatest she has yet achieved iu I.onJon. THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC PAUL Mr. William Cullen Bryant and Kev. Dr. Armitago have promised to deliver addresses this evening at the fair of the Young Women's Christian Association, now lieing held in the Academy of Music. These Addresses will undoubtedly renew the Interest already manifested lu the fair. It is pleasant to know that tho success of llie fair has been even more than was anticipated by its projectors aud conductors. DRAMATIC FUND ASSOCIATION.

A new species of self-registering barometer, tho In vention of Professor Chluin, is now on exhibition in this city. It Is a splendid looking Instrument, registers every l>urometrlc ihange to the hundredth part o( an inch, and keeps its own record lor a month together. With the oMinary surtmcc-seciioo barometer It has bjtherto been found dilllcuil to record the nicer atmos pheric pulsations, and almost impossible to make tho instrument i?erlcctly and accurately self registering. Tho '.nanner In whlrh these difficulties have l>eeu met and overcomo in Professor Chluiu's Inveu tion is very ingenious. The instrument Itsoll Is about lourteeu fe<t in height.
