Washington, Oct. 3.—Assistant Becrotary
Cowon, ad interim in cborgo of tho Interior De
partment, seems to havo little respect for tbo
especial friends of his late Chief. The new
Secret Borvico Darean of tho Pension Ofllco has
already come to grief. When Mr. Baldwin was
appointed by Dolauo Chief of Hneclal Agents,
he at onoo organized a new division and bad a
number of favorito dorks, all of whom wore
supposed to bo devoted to tbo fortanea of Secre
tary Delano, appointed or detailed to assist him.
It has been customary bubo Department when a
clerk baa been sent out lo Investigate a case
of fraud in tho payment of pensions, to allow
him, in addition lo his salary and traveling ex
penses, from £3 to $4 a day to pay for his board.
Ac. Dut this was never paid to them whoa they
wore on duty in tho Department hero. Dut
tho services of Baldwin and his detectives in
preparing special dispatches for such newspaper
correspondents os would send them, and invent*
lug scandalous stories about Prof. Marsh and
others who had exposed the rascality of
loading officials of tho Department, woro
so groat that no ordinary, lawful salary
was sufficient, and so, at Baldwin’s
suggestion, and with Delano’s approval, an order
was issued by tbo Commissioner of Pensions for
the paymout'to some of these of £0 a day and to
others of £4 a day, all tbo time, whether they
woro on doty hero or elsewhere. In Baldwin’s
own caso, tbo per diem was £4, and with his
regular salary of SI,BOO a year made his pay
$3,500. This matter was brought to tho atten
tion of Gen. Cowon yesterday, and ho im
mediately Issued the following order:

Hereafter, dorks of your office detailed for tho kind of
duly above referred to will not be allowed this ad

duty, and no such additional compensation will bo al

Inatiou of such frauds, (digued) B. It. Cowsk.
Tho law which placed tho District under tho
govornmont of throo Commisaionors authorized

It is now announced that tbo Board of Audit
have refnsed to iusno eertiilcatos to pay for some
of those improvements, on tho ground that they
aro unauthorized.

into the payment by tbo Treasury of tbo Wil

was the country’s only hopo; quoted hig ligares
in tho shape of the national debt, and played on
tbo resumption law, as If in it bung the (ate of.
tho opposite party. Ho told us how it was pass
ed in tho midnight darkness of a secret canons
last winter, and oft and again challenged
Gov. Woodford to take it up and handle It. Gov.
Woodford occupied but an hour in hia reply.
It was enough. Ho proved himself a David to
tho Goliath of Democracy, and gavo him the ad
vantage of thirty minutes’ extra time. Import
ers dropped their pencils and listened, for tbo
keen, incisivo sentences, combined with tho
bold, impassioned manner, could not be trans
ferred to paper. What had seemed sledge
hammer argument was swept away like thistle
down before tho wind, and burst after hurst of
uncontrollable applause greeted tbo con
stantly-recurring, tolling points made by
Now York’s splendid orator. And it was
not more declamation, bat tbo soundest of logio
was combined with a wraith and power of
latigu&go that cot its way like a Saracenic dm
otar. Ewing's closing remarks, which occupied
half an boar, wore an utter failure, a crippled
repetition of hia speech proper, delivered In a
crushed, embarrassed, hesitating manner, as If
tho orator was lighting against hope.

indulging in this cant of fustian. They have
had it urged against themselves so often that
they know bow idlo and foolish it is.
A far-fetched idea, and ono not worth going a
atop for, is (hot of tho New York Tribune con-
coming President Grunt’s speech at Des Moines.
It is, in effect, that the President suspects Gen.
Sherman of Presidential aspirations, and that,
knowing the relations of the General and bis
family with tho Catholic Church, he took this
opportunity to pay off a little debt due to the
author of a recent volume of memoirs.

fiptsi/jl Hu>,aleh In Th* Cfneaio Tribune.
Tonu.rro, Out., Oct. h -h p. m.—To-day tho
riotous proceedings of lint Sunday were re
peated, though on a broader scale. Tho day
wan ono selected for a pilgrimage of tho Roman
Catholics from church to church, in commem
oration of certain promulgations By tho
Orange body and Voting Britons, thin wan con
sidered objectionable on two ground's viz.: tho
character of (ho observance and the fact of its
being conducted on tho Habbath day- For days
past it had Icon rumored that opposition would
bo ‘given to the procession, and an attempt
made to prevent ita being carried out.
On tho other hand, (he Catholics,
having a right to hold tho procesdon
on Hunday, “no law preventing," they expressed
their determination not to be intimidated from
carrying out their intentioorf, and accordingly
the whole city waa wrought to a high state of
excitement. Early thin morning two troops of
cavalry, the Queen's Own (title itrigade. anil
the Tenth *lt<>yale were assembled and hold in
readiness to minduo any outbreak. All remained
quiet uutil the procession wan ready to leave
the Cathedral, at which time Metropolitan
.Square and tho street* adjacent were lined by n
crowd estimated at JO.ifOU persons. The whole
police force of the city wero at three pointa,
while tho military woroon Church street, houth of
King, only a few hundred yards distant, with
scouts of’ cavaln* in the vicinity. Scarcely had
the procession begun to move betore hundreds
of young mou began stoning them. The police
charged on thorn, and a few shots were die*
charged, by whicli throe or foor persona wero in
jured. Passing west along Adelaide street to
Ht. Mary’s Cimrch on Bathurst etreet, a distance
of a mile and n half, the procession, headed by a
strong hod? of police, were assaulted at almost
every street-crossing. when shots were tired and
mote or leas persona wounded. Mean
while tho military took up their
line of march along King street west,
parallel with the procession and one street south
of it. With tho military was the Mayor of tho
city, who, in case of necessity, was prepared to
road the riot act, when tho military would bo
catted on to interfere. Tho procession reached
ita destination, whore more shots wore fired and
more encounters occurred. Tho procession here
dispersed, and the military returned to its quar
ters, awaiting further orders. At the time of
writing, a feeling prevails that further disturb
ance of tho peace ia imminent. Several of tho
police force were disabled, a largo number of
persona more or less injured, and it is reported
that two persons wero fatally wounded by re
volver-shots. It is impossible, at present,
to stato positively what tbo result will ho, but
tuo fact that the military are under arms has a
good effect, and at this hour th* riot act hat
not been read.

Toronto, uut., Oct. 3.—8:30 p. in.— At the

a largo party of rioters visited Dumraer street,
which is chiolly inhabited by tbo laboring class
of Homan Catholics, and had an encounter last
ing for about half an bnur, during which win
dows wore smashed, and numbers of persons
injured by stones and sticks thrown.
Mayor Modcalf drove up in hasto
and endeavored to persuade thorn to disperse,
without effect, until a reinforcement of poboo
arrived and put thorn to flight. Smaller encoun
ters also occurred in other parte of tho city. Tho
police force worked nobly to-day, and prevented
much bloodshed, though suffering severely from
rough usage. An extra force are patrolling to
night, and tho streets, though thronged, are re
suming tho usual quiet. One of the police ap
pears to be fatally wounded, though still alive.
The total number of seriously injured cannot bo

dral ; after a short service there they proceeded
along Adelaide street to St. Mary’s Church,
Bathurst street, a distance of IH miles. From
this point part of tho procession returned oast
by Front street; others dispersed. On account
of tbo procession being accompanied by the
police and a largo body of military, who
wore ordered out for Che occasion, and
a change in tho route of the procession,
tbo disturbance was much less than was ex
pected. As soon as the march from the Cathe
dral began, stone-throwing, etc., commenced,.
1 The police charged on the assailants, filing sev
eral shots. On marching up Adelaide street
several attacks with stones, etc., wore made,
