The Lancaster Examiner takes - us to task for some' pertinent remarks made in the Sri of last week. Well, what a pity that we should raise the ire of the publishers of that paper,Who think it high treason that any paper outside of Landaster - should make any inquiries, or any inucados in ref erence to' any, officers, cliques, parties or rings, in that city. It is not the first time that that paper- has taken umbrage at the' Sr-. It will-be recollected that some time since it called us-very hard names, because we had the audacity to publish a cOunty ad vertiseriient that was not , ordeted to bey printed , in that paPei: amine, with terrible main and 'fiery crest, rushes-b the defence of ono of the proprie tors of that paper, for certain wrongs said to have been committed by the SPY. • We can assure him that we do not mean to bo diverted from the pursuit of our game by • any inch" dodge us that. A bantarung can just as well reach the object aimed at, oven if it is hid behind a - whiskey still, as if it was inallain view. We were well -aware that there were other ducks likely to feel the effects of our article, besides those whom be has chosen to defend. Before we are through with this subject, we expect to dis cover the itching - palm that is extended. monthly to receive the small modicum of a thousand-dollars from the members of the whiskey ping, respectively. Do 'you take, Mr. Examiner:' - We guess you did. You take occasion to inform the public that the collector of Ibis district haa politely invited us to Make a thorough examination of the matter about - which this hubbub has been raised. We beg leave - to. decline the kind offer; wallas.° neither the time nor inclina tion to enter- upon any wild goose chase. If the collector seeks it thorough examination, let him make application to proper de partment at Washington, for an expert in smelling out 'whiskey frauds. " lt in . not likely that any one would be green enough to keep a record of the font' in a public of fice. - As - the collector seems - to, be of an obliging dispOsition, We would thank him to inform us 'whether he made nay effort to discover:the - OWtier;'or the 'distillery from which Was seized, in this place;' about three months age;` forty barrels - of , Whiskey, in a car belonging to a firm' in Lancaster city. Did he not know that it came from a distil lery Owned by a namesake of his, and that a leading member of the "`whiskey ring" offered to buy off the informer, - itlthough pretending - it the time not to own or know from whencOlt came, or to whom if 'be longed.? To imcierstandthe situation titer= oughly, we must know first why this thing was not bun ter" im, and the distillery seized. Wasit beetinse, it was, and is; owned by the "whiskey ring?"

Fremont was- nominated for President, in 1836, to the present time, to give my earnest and heartiest support to the men and measures of the Republican party, I should like to know It. To the second charge, I scarcely know what to reply. I understand very well the latitude which should be allowed to public journalists, hi a po litical contest. I know the old proverb, that " all 'is fair in .war," and that perhaps even M,I, can be justified on that maxim, and yet I cannot con vince myself that such deliberate, unqualified lying is either honorable or gentlemanly. The author of the article either knew nothing 'of what he wrote, or else knew it to be a base, malicious and utterly unfounded falsehood, which no political exigency can justify, I ask for this the same publication as was given to the article in question. Yours, Respecfnliv. B. J. HOUSTON. We regret that this letter was written ; we did not intend to make any further allusion. to the author of the above, as we have been assured that he is a most worthy and. exem plary gentleman, and entirely too verdant to be engaged in any rascality. He seems to think that because we spoke of "John son office holders," 'that of course we im plied-that they were all Copperheads, or renegades from the Republican party. We do not doubt. Mr. Houston's loyalty to the party; ,but nevertheless wo learn that he was a blatant and noisy friend of the Hon. ,T. Stevens but two short years ago, when suddenly be became lukewarm towards that great man and his friends-- The colder he 'grew' towards - them; tlukafO t raity between -him and 'the "great coriuptionist" grew closer and more attractive in thO same ratio. Whatever his motive may have been, his treachery to his best friend was soon follow ed by its reward. When the masses of the party were about to be betrayed a few weeks ago by a few of the most unconscionable political rascals that have ever disgraced a party, they selected not only some of their own number, but included Mr. Houston, also, it was fair to infer that he was in fall accord with them. Thus-much for his po litical consistency. We do not understand what is meant by " scratched - a ticket." The reader can. -draw such inference there from 'ILS, suits his fancy. To what he is pleased to term the " second charge," ho scarcely knows what to reply, and. takes good care to dodge the subject. altogether, and goes to calling us bard. names. _Yon should recollect, Mr. Houston, that when a person trains in bad • company, seeking for. .honors from the people, it is their right to know what manner of man he is. But why, all this sensitiveness on your part?, If there is no " whiskey ring," no one is hurt ; but from your conduct„tuid_your communica tion above, no other inference can be drawn but that there is such a ring, and that you are aware of the fact, and - dread the infamy which you know must attach to those who belong to it. We learn that you have blus tered no little about this matter, and have mentioned others in connection with it. You also make allusion to "gentlemen about the SrY office." We can assure yon that we are able to take care of ourselves, and are perfectly responsible, at all times, for all the editorial matter that appears in these columns. Now, Mr. Houston, you are quite welcome to all the honor you have ,gained by your letter. We leave you to the tenderembraces of your WO tild-be colleague to Chicago. .„ ILA.TEST NEWS.

Our Washiragtou Correspondence. WAsmNoTorz, Fob. 27th; 1863. Ha.lmmo :—The " City of Magni ficent Distances" is in a great ferment, at the present writing; but owing to the in significance of some of the parties concern ed, the "ferment" does not exactly "shake the Nation to its center."' Doolittle said to "his Accidency," only yesterday: "The' eyes of the whole world are upon you?" (What good eyes the world must have to see him.) Not exactly ; the eyes of the whole world are upon the United States Senate and House, who are going through Andy Johnson and his horde of rebel sympathizing office holder's, iii - the Artp - st "red hot" manlier imaginable. When- Johnson issued his orders to Gen. Thomas to take possession of the War Office, ad in terim, and again sought to oust Secretary Stanton after he had been reinstated by the Senate of the United States, and in direct antagonism to their resolution, he put his foot in it ; that was the last feather wanting to break his Accidency's back. When the Senate held back from the Impeachment question, on the ground that they did not feel that they had sufficient reason to im peach him, they were only laying this trap for Andy. They were morally certain when they reinstated Stanton that it would end as it has, and the prompt arrest of the would-be Secretary is an evidence that they were prepared for this issue. You have, perhaps, seen the characteristic letter (?) written by Charles Sumner, to Stanton, on Saturday last. As it is not very lengthy I will re-produce it for the benefit of your readers: _ SEAT CHAMBER, "Feb. 22..1,1868 MEI Sincerely Yotirs, Ciuntrs Secretary Stanton took the advice and " stuck," and from that time up to the present; he has not-left his office for one in stant; he has his meals brinight to him and sleeps on a lounge. Verily he " sticks" to some purpose, when the President, Cabiget, and all combined can't get hint out. 4 T On Monday morning, 24th-inst., -C Thomas again visited Stanton, and address ed him in these terms: "Mr. Stanton, I have this morning again received orders front the President. direct ing me to take charge of the War Depart ment and therecorca thereof, and discharge the duty of Secretary of War, ad interim. In obedience to that order, sir, here to take charge of the Department and assume the duties of Secretary of War, act interior." Air. Stanton replied, " I do not acknowl edge the authority of the President to give any such order, and refuse to surrender the Department to yon. Yon will proceed to your room, sir, and discharge the duties as Adjutant General of the Army. General Thomas replied, " L will not do so, sir. I have been ordered by the Presi dent to discharge the duties of Secretary of lVar,ad interim, and I will obey that order." Many exciting reports have been in cir culation since Saturday, as to the part to be taken by the military hereabouts, in the difficulty between the President and Con gress. It was currently reported yester day, that the 12th Regiment, Colonel Wal lace, was to be employed to enable General Thomas to take military possession of the War Department—that General Thomas was then to get himself arrested under the Civil Tenure Act, for the proceeding; and pardoned by the President before trial, under the President's pardoning powers. On Saturday, Andy sent for _General • Emory, who einnenandsithe Depart a ie Washington, and -whose co-opera therefore, doubtless regardedas a vcry im portant adjunct to his scheme. Had -Gen eral Emory consented to become his tool, it is not likely that we should have heard any of the pacific talk to which we are now treated; at least nutil an attempt had been made to use stronger measures. But he was too good a soldier, and too loyal a citi zen to lend himself to Andy's purpose, and it is even said that he informed the Presi dent of his position in the somewhat blunt expression, " You can't use me." Andy tapped the wrong barrel that time. It is understood that the commanding officers of the troops within the Depart ment of Washington have all had their at tention called to the law, and been remind ed of their duty thereunder. It is stated that the President sent for Colonel Wallace, commanding the 12th Infantry, but found him as incorruptible as General Emory, The only encouragement he has met with, so far as I can hear, is from the venerable Secretary of the Navy. This "old man of the sea with characteristic officiousness, has tendered to the President the service of the Marines located in this city, of which there are about four hundred, under com mand of General Zeilin, an officer who is in accord with Congress. All things consider ed, circumstances seem very unfavorable for a'rasort to force against the Secretary of -War, if Andy really entertained such It.cle sign. lie, (Andy,) sent in to the Senate,-en Monday, the nomination of Thomas Ewing, Sr., to be Secretary of War. The pressure and excitement at the Cap itol for the past few - days, and at the pres ent writing, surpasses anything known. since the most exciting periods of the war. It was found necessary this morning, for the preservation of order, and to prevent the windows and nassages from being en tirely blockaded by the excited crowd, to call in the aid of the Metropolitan Police. There are about four ,inches of snow on the ground., and the weather is what may be termed "nasty"—nothing new for Washington. • General Kit Carson is here with the dele gation of Ute Didians., They are all in cit izen costume, and fine, noble looking men. " PRA sm." Philadelphia Correspondence. PHILADELPIIIA, Feb. 2611, 1868 DEAIt SPY is hardly necessary to state that there has been great. excitement in the city for the past few days. All over the laud, the news of our accidental Presi dent's last act in the attempted removal of the Secretary of -War, has aroused the peo ple to a true sense of his defiant opposition to the legislative part of the Government, and intense interest in the afthirs of State prevails everywhere. History is being made among as with lightning quickness .in these day-14, and there seems -to litt,no end.. to startling deeds' and unexpected events: - What we are coming to, and what the bear ing of these rapid changes on, our future history will be, are questions which may well cause us to pause and reflect. But the die has been cast; the President has again defied the power of Congress; and some blow must be struck for the cause of truth and good government. Doubtless while I ant writing this, our loyal Representatives In Congress have already' taken the pre-., liminary measures which will lead to ,a speedy removal of the usurper. The down fall ot this trerteherous man, we hope and believe, will bring peace to our laud—and the South, seeing their last prop gone, will the sooner come back to us, accept of our - terms, and be again received' into our fold. May, we not hope that the overruling hand of providence will speedily bring about such a-happy state of affairs? -Washington's birthday was.pretty gener ally observed as a holiday here, although not half so strictly as in times that are past. Many strangers were'attracted to the city on this account, and they together with the liberated working-people, made our streets present a lively appearance. It has been said. that Philadelphia is noted for its hand ' some.young men, Baltimore for its beauti fulyoung ladies, and ,Now York fora slight sprinkling of both; but one would think from the array of charming faCes and 'forms,' aided by- the attractions of the present' style of dress,--which , ",.the--fatrm presented on that afternoon, that. Thillider" . , phis could easily compete - with Baltiniore for the palm, in this - respect. - • - The design or the ,now Masonic Temple; which was inserted in_ my last letter, does, -not seem .to give, general satisfaction,' Letters on this sill:deep from practical arid amateur architects have frequently appear ed in -oar daily, papers ' and their general tone is-that .01 dislike for:it. One writer. thinks that the building will be a disgraCe to the city in'point of architectural beauty; another, that the s alty should' not' permit Such a design to-be used ; , and still another, that ri at only-Masons but _every ono else should he' interested ou `the - subject„, 'and Vat ; whoever has' the improvement ofthe city at-heart, should freely state his like' or dislike - for it; and-suggest improvements., I 'I do mot :profess to knoW anything, about :designing, but of this I am sure, I bat - UM Immense amount of money which it is pro . Posed to spend upon it, should' give,to the city one of the most handsome structures ever erected, ono that will be an- ornament to it, and an attraction to strangers. Some of your readers, who have been in the city, have, perhaps, noticed the tine chrome-lithograph portrait of Gen. Grant, now-in Earle's window. IC is one of the finest chromes I have ever seen, and .judg fag from photographs, as exact a iikenese; of General us coald be produced. lie is sitting in Itlir in an easy and graceful Manner, dressed in regimentals, and the expression of his face is not at all strained, but very characteristic. Those who wish to - secure a good likeness of our future President, would do NVell. to wall and see it. The last readings of Charles Dickens in this city, were not nearly so well attended as the first, and it is said there were four hundred vacant seats on the last two occa sions. Tickets were to be purchased at fifty cents,' and speculators- lost a gre - at amount on their investments. The manner in which the nakir of speculation was man aged has at last leaked out.' A New Yorker bought all the seats of Concert Hall before the day of sale, sold a certain number from the box-office, and reserved a great quantity which were distributed for-sale at stands and bookstores, so that during tae first readings, be must have made at least seventy-five per cent. on the original in vestment. I am rejoiced to hoar of the improrements in Columbia. The extension of streets, and the opening up of new ones, the numbek in4 of houses and corner signs of streets, lead one to think you are fast becoming a city. Doubtless we shall hear ere long of a letter-delivery, and of the_ introdnetion of street ears. Truly y ours, A IZAMIS. Pl' L.tnEr.rutA., FLU. 221, ISGS TI7E CITY.

Domestic goods of every des cription are again —on the rise,' , ' and there is some excitement among buyers, in con sequence. Wholesale deakirs seem willing to sell, notwithstanding the cry or higher prices, and everything moves on in a strict ly business-like manner, With hopes that the spring trade will make all t hings right, when it fairly opens—the time of which will be about the middle of March Or the first of April.

Whether Mrs. Smith will gain the custody of her - children or not, remains now with the decision of the Judge, as two of the ablest lawyers of this city have already argued the case before him.

Amputation was recommended ; but.pronounced dangerous. 1 could not sleep. and any sufferings were intolerable. .1 friend brought me an English physician who applied a salvo with which he said he Ind accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitals in England.
