TEEMS—Omh In n'lfatirß £1 OO If not p*i. C., May 30, 1881. During the past week there hve been efforts to connect Secretary Blaine with the Star route scandals, and ex Secretary Sherman with certain Treas ury steals. It seems, however, to be plainly established thnt speculations of Blaine did not take this direction ol wickedness. There are sins enough, big and little, on his head to render the bearing of false witness against him un necessary. In the Sherman matter there was certainly a failure to discharge official duty, and the charge is that he failed to act while knowing that frauds were being committed. That he per sonally profited by the stealings nu one alleges. The booty was small and the confederates were numerous. As a re sult of this treasury investigation how ever, it is believed several quite promi nent officials will suffer. Hardly a Senator or Representative is left here. The weather did not suit them, and they were not getting favors from the President as they desired, j Between the illness of his wife and the vexations of politics the President has lost something of the patient and com plying humor with which he used to greet his visitors. Now that Mrs. j Garfield is out of danger, and the quar- i relliDg Senate is out of the city, the better qualities will resume sway with the Executive. We Washingtonians are probably bet ter informed a* to affairs at Albany, than are the politicians themselves in : that city. Intelligent and experienc- 1 ed men send us the whole truth as far as they know it, and also the more reliable rumors, discarding the canards which gain short currency | amouj excited parlipants in the stiug i gle. And this is preliminary to a state- j ment telegraphed here this morning t hat beyond doubt, more than half the Republicans would unite in a call for a caucus, and that Messrs. Conkling and Piatt would be the caucus nominees. I am inclined to accept this as most likely to be true. What number of legislators will balk a caucus nomina tion remains to be seen. The post-office authorities are likely to get themselves into trouble for caus ing the arrest of Mr. Carmichael, of Vir ginia, for writing strong words against Gen. Mahoneon a postal card addressed to Senator Vance. The unguage used, it is true, was far from being choice or elegant, but, as already suggested hy Mr. Carmicbael's counsel and by other*> it is extremely doubtful whether it comes within the inhibition of the law. But there seems to be little if any doubt amongst the highest legal authorities that Bell, the official in the city pos toffee here, who first read and then detained the postal card, exceeded bis authority and is liable to prosecution and punishment there for. This matter will be thorough ly examined into, and if the law is found to justify it, proceedings will be taken. It ia asserted that it has becoope too much the habit of the postoffice of ficials to inspect postal cards simply to gratify their curiosity. Many persons are in the habit of writing about private matters on postal cards under tbe belief that they were safe from prying eyes, as the law certainly contemplated they should be. The rumor thst the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia had found in dictments against ex-Assistant Post master General Brady, ex-Senator Dor say and others prominent in the Star route swindle, was officislly denied to day. The report, nevertheless, devel oped that the parties named expect to b indicted, as their attorneys this morning gave notice to tho United State* I 'istrict Attorney that they wero prepared to furnish hail whenever it was proposed to hold them for prosecu tion. DOR. (•runt ut Fort Donelson. Admn Badeau lias devoted himself for the last twenty years to writing a history of which General Grant is the hero. To make out his claim he hua liberally falsified public documents, and whero a point was to be gained ignored others. Gen. Boynton has fastened upon him one Aggravated case which illus trates many. After the capture of Fort Donelson, General Grant gave himself up to unbridled excesses to such an ex tent that his commander, llalleck, was seriously alarmed for the army. Baduau claims in iiis so-called history that no evidence of this could be found in Washington, but General Boynton pro duces from the War Department tiles tho whole correspondence, which is worth presenting, llalleck telegraphed March 2, 1X62, to McClellan : I havo had no communication with Gen eral Grant for more than a week*. lie lelt his command without jny authority and went to Nashville. Hit army seenm to be much demoralised by the victory of Fort Donelson as was that of tho Potomac by the defeat of Bull Hun. It is hard to cen sure a successful general after a victory, but 1 think he richly deserves it. I can get no returns, no reports, no information of any kind from him. Satisfied with his victory, ho sits down and enjoys it without any regard to tho future, lam worn out and tired bv this neglect and inefficehcy. 0. F. Smith is almost tho only'' officer equal to the emergency. A few days later llalleck. worn out with Grant's conduct, sent hun this dis patch, which those who bear in mind Grant's dispatches to Thomas two years later will be apt to relish : General McClellan direct* that you re jwirt to me daily tho number and |*>sition of the forces under your command. Your neglect of repeated orders to report the strength of your command has created dissatisfaction and seriously interfered with military plans. Your going to Nash villo without authority and when your presence with your troops was of the ut most importance was a matter of very ser ious complaint at Washington, so much as that I was advised to arrest you on your return. • These dispatches Badeau seeks to throw doubt upon, but General Mcf'lel lan's very words are on filo to convict him : WAMIISOTOS. March 8, 1K62—6 P. M. MAJ. GEX. H. W. 11A1.1.R1 K, St. Louis Your dispatch of la-t evening received. The future success of our cause demands that proceeding such n General Grant's -hould at once be checked. Generals must observe discipline as well as private sol diers. Do not hesitate to arrest him at once, if the good of the service requires it, and place C. F. f*mith in command. You are at liberty to regard this as a poitive order, if it will smooth your way. 1 ap preciate the difficulties you have to en counter and will b© glad to relievo you from your trouble as far as possible.

The most remarkable newspaper man in the United States lives at Angels • 'amp, in Calaveras county. Ilia name is 8. 8. Waterman. Ho is twenty-four pears old, and ha* been paralysed ever since he was born. He was born in Angels, and has never been away from the town but once, when he went in search of medical aid, but failed to find any. Ifiaparalysis is of the upper and lower limbs, which he cannot move. His speech is also affected, and it is only with difficulty that he can talk at all. Early in life he manifested a liking for movable type, which he placed in position with his teeth. He soon be gan to cut type out of wood, holding the engraving tools between his teeth when he used them. He has made a good deal of block type in this way, with which he at present conducts a small job printing business. He also sets metal type with bis teeth. Water man was one of the founders of the Mountain Echo, a weekly paper now being tiuhlisbcd in Angela. He aet a good deal of the type on tbia t>aper with his teeth, and having a good edu cation, manufactured hia editoriala and other articles as he went along. He ia now out of the newspaper businesa and confines himself entirely to job printing and engraving. Ha does all the pro gramme and invitation work for the town, frequently engraving special de signs for bis jobs. His presswork, of course, he cannot do with his teeth, and employs a boy to do that part of the work for him—the only part that he cannot do himself. William Lancaster, William Mussel man and George Zeigler, employed in a factory near Paupeck, Pike county, met with a aeries of disasters on Wednes day of last week.
