OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. WAsnI ovoN, D. C., June 13th, 1874. Eurron Carrr : A DAY OF BRISTOW. The new Secretary of the Treasury commenced business at once in a way that showed him to be a man of definite ideas, and some comprehen sion of the organization of the De partment, and the nature of his own duties. The laws governing the De partment divide duties and respon sibilities among specified Bureaus, one officer being a check upon an other. This plan did not suit Bout well, and he established bureaus of his own, small side shows,where every thing went and was decided so far as was possible, without the action ,of the legal bureau officers, thus arro gating all the power to the Secre tary's own office. The Boutwell bu reaus were run by clerks, who were paid the sanme salaries as the heads of the regular bureaus, who are ap pointed by the President, aed eon firmed by the Senate, and these elerks were Boutwell's fee-faw fams, and fuglemen. On the first day, Bristow remanded such cases as came to him from the fee-fawn, that belonged to the regu lar officers, to their appropriate places for consideration, to the great coen sternation of the side show-men, who were thus painfully reminded of a departed occupation, said to belong to a gentleman by the name of Othello, which is a corruption of" old-fellow," probably, and should have been ren dered, " old-fellows " occupation is gone. If Bristow sticks to this course, he will avoid the numerous snags which Richardson ran his craft upon, and will be saved from a host of respon sibilities and anxieties that do not legitimately belong to Lim. THE PRESIDENT DOWN TO PAN. The manifesto of the President on the money question, coming as it did right upon the accession of a new Secretary to the Treasury, is inter preted as an inspiration of Mr. Bris tow, and as meaning an immediate intention to checkmate the inflation ists. As the inflationists are a ma jority in Congrems, and are led by bold men, sach as Morton in the Sen ate, and Batter in the House, the prospect of an animated conflict is de cidedly imminent, and the character of the combatants on each side indi cates a contest of formidable pro portions, and we are safe in saying that the loll in politics is about over, probably, for the present. THE INFLUENCE OF WEALTH. The weather has been very hot for some days, and this has had the ef fect of making Congressmen im patient to get away. This is seen by the way bills are rushed through. Gen tlemen who stood up gallantly in February and contested for cheap jack-knives, and a reduction of the allowance for ice water to the clerks of the Departments, stand aside, and bills involving hundreds of thousands, go through unchallenged, and with out r-mark, much less remorse. On Monday, Butler tried to get up the civil rights bill by a suspension of the rules, but did not succeed. Mr. Lamar, oL Mississippi, made an elo quent argument against the right of Pinchback to a seat in Congress, in which he discussed the general ques tions concerning the rights of the South since the war, and their future prospects and sentiments. It was a speech of striking points and unusual ability, and added much to the rep utation made by Mr. Lamar in his generous remarks upon the death of Sumner. At the close of the speech, the orator received general congratu lations upon his successful effort. The questions that have been dis cussed in Congress for several days, have been regarded as important, and much ability has been displayed, and yet they have not been very in teresting questions to the general reader, nor will their decision produce any marked influence upon the coun try. One of these questions is the " moiety system," and the city jour nals of New York and Boston mag nify it into a great affair. Reduced to simple terms, and all there is in it, is whether the government will pay for information, which will show that a repstable merchant is evading the revenue law, and cheating the. cus toms, or not. Under the moiety sys tem, nothing is paid unless cheating is proved, and thcn whaters- is paid comes out of the flues imposed upon the cheater., The great house of Williams & Co., cheated to the tune of $1.500,000. They got off by pay ing $500,000, which left them still a fair profit on their ingenuity and fraud. One half the sum, $250,000 went to informers, and it is now pro posed to keep these moieties out of the hands of the informers by allow ing the Sweet William's to have the whole $500,000. The Phelps-Dodge case is used to show the hardships of the moieties. They paid $271,000 to compromise for being technically lame in their statements, for about four times that sum. The case was in court, and after hearing the story of Mr. Dodge, Boutwell advised them not to compromise; but they feared to trust their good intentions to a jury, and paid the money in prefer ence to submitting their innocence to the test of a legal examination. It was a good deal of money to fork ever by men conscious of innocence, but, granting that the government was wrong, the fault is not on ac count of the moiety system, but in the details of the law concerning the proof of intent to do wrong. But whether the cheats are made to pay or not, the public at large will never realize any difference whatever. The Geneva award made quite a stir, and caused some acrimony. Some hold that the money belongs to the government, some that it belongs to the owners of vessels and cargoes which were destroyed by the Ala bama, and some that the insurance companies must come in for a share. Tremaine argued for the insurance companies, Eldridge for the govern ment, and Hale, Frye and Butler for the ship owners. Uncle Sam pros ecuted the claim, and got the money, and Eldridge thought it was on his own account. The ship owners say they paid the insurance companies such premiums that it was ruin, and the companies lost every thing but the premiumns, all of which is very hard, and has nothing to do with the Tweed case, yet Tremaine taunted Butler with having sympathized with Tweed, to which the letter rejoined, that he did, but it was because Tre maine was his persecutor-and in this jolly way was the debate en livened, without proceeding to the extreme of having any one make mouths at any other one's sister. We don't understand the law of the case. The days of the Board of Public Works are numbered. They have been the real governors of the city, for two or three years, and now it is proposed to have a Commission of two Senators, and two Represents tives to run the machine. This is a sort of political four-in-hand we sup pose, and a new seheme in the way of government. It shows how the fashion tends in respect to horses and-the other animals. Gen. Grant drives a splendid four horse team, and why should'nt the people of the District have theirs ? On Thursday, Butler, Cox and Beck, got in some sharp cuts at the Civil Service humbug, as they called it, which were not ielished much by the friends of that measure. ALERT. We clip the following from the Baton Rouge Adrocale of the 13th iust: In those portions of the coast par ishes that escaped overflow, the cane, both plant and stubble, is growing finely. The long drought and the re striction of the area under cultivation, has enabled planters to cultivate their cane thoroughly. Those por tions of the plantations emerging from the waters, are planted with corn and peas, and in some instances cotton. The scattered cane that sur vived the overflow will amount to more than was at first expected, but i poun the whole will not plant one tenth of the ground it stands upon. In some instances where the fields in undated were never free from cur rents, keeping the water cool, and in others where back levees were thrown up and the water pumped oft, the cane is still alive, and will pay to cul tivate. The first planting of corn upon high land and low land will not produce much, heavy rains and the succeeding drought kept back its growth. But a very large quantity of land has been planted in late corn which is growing well. Cotton on the highlands is all right, the plant growing vigorously. Be .iud the levees it is generally stunted and small. A most horrible accident occurred in New Orleans one day this week. Miss Louise Durell, a daughter of Dr. F. P. Durell, was run over by a cotton float, whilst crossing one of the streets, and so severely crushed that her life is despaired of. The Grand Era and the Baton Rouge Republican are at logger heads. They merely deal in the quiet sarcastic now, but when they get fully warmed to their work there will doubtless be somne tall and bitter writing on the part of the editors of both journals. If the controversy is well conducted it will make both papers more interesting to general readers. The President will not interfere with affairs in Petersburg, Virginia. The Attorney General has forwarded the following telegram to the United States Marshall at that place u You are instructed to take the necessary steps to protect the prop erty of the United States from in jury, and the officers of the govern ment in Petersburg from any violent interference with them in the per formance of their official duties. To that end, if you think proper, you may summon a posse of the citizens to aid you; but if these men are found inadequate for the purpose, you will be furnished, upon a call by you up on me, with troops from fortress Monroe. It is desirable not to use troops, if possible." THIS PAPER IS ON FILE WITH Wher. A.ewtMag censet. ea ho made. ADVERTISEMENTS. "ASCENSION HOOK & LADDER l ARTER.
