Washington, 19. leading Republican member of Congress, who is a frequent visitor to the White House, stated this morning as a broad guess, that Gov. Shepherd and Frederick A. Sawyer, late Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, would be two of the persons whom the President would appoint as commissioners to govern the District of Columbia, ad interim. The President, it is said, within a day or two, has expressed intense admiration for Shepherd, who had grown in his estimaOn the tion during the investigation. other hand, the friends of the Governor says he will not accept the place on a commission which would only be a temporary appointment at least a big drop which he had lrom the dictatorship established over the Distriot. Sawyer, since being turned out of the Treasury Department, has spent the most of his time on the floor of the Senate. The salary of the commissioners will be $5,000 each. The investigation by the Joint Select Committee of the Harrington bogus safe burglary, is still in progress. The developments thus far are sufficient to damn the whole detective system, especi-nllof the Secret Service Bureau of the There is no Treasury Department. to reason doubt that the conany longer spiracy to ruin the character of Columbus Alexander, oue of the leading memorialists before the late District investigation, was put up by Col. Whitley, Chief of the Secret Service Bureau, and that he was induced to enter upon the infamous job by some persons connected with the ring. The District Ring made a final effort in theSenate last evening and died hard. All day Shepherd, John C. Evans, Hal-le- t, Kilbourne, Magrudder, Secy. Gor-haand Delegate Chipman lobbied energetically, having their headquarters fc) Gorham's office. Sargent was selected to present an amendment providing that one of the commissioners to be appointed by the President under the new bill should beJMesignated governor. This was intended as a quasi vindication of Shepherd. They failed in this as in every other effort to fix things for their profit and pleasure. Another plan was to have the interest on the funded debt bonds increased to four per cent, currency. Herein lies their bigjob. They had formed a pool and got the option of about $4,000,000 of auditor's certificates at from 60 to CO cents on the dollar. " Chipman took one side of the Senate and Gerham the other, and they spent the whole day in appealing to Senators. Sargent's first amendment to take tha auditing ot the District accounts from the Comptroller and place it in the hands of a commission by the Secretary of the Treasury, got only three votes himself, Conover i.nd Clayton. His amendment to strike out the authorization of the Comptroller to employ assistance in his work, received only his his awn vate. They then abandoned the ship and the bill passed as it came from the Committee, without a ddissent-in- g vote. A y . m ? office-Me- " iv cuting Attorney without rebuke. a G d d n liar, 8AML.U SMITH.

But he is not here yet, and we are not able to say when the escaped felon will be seen again in this city. Last, week, G. R. Belknap went to On llilliard to work with his team. his arrival he learned that Williamson was in the vicinity, and was suspected of having in his possession some horses stolen from Weber County. He immediately went to Evanstoa and made a complaint before Justice White, who issued a warrant for Williamson's apprehension. Deputy Sheriff Smith went with tie complainant to arrest the man, who was found at llilliard, and on seeing Belknap, attempted to draw his pistol, but Gil. was too quick for him, and partly drawing his weapon made Williamson hand over his revolver and give himself up. He was taken to Evanston and appeared before Justice White last Marshal Moroni Brown of Tuesday. this city arrived on the spot while the examination was progressing. Williamson was acquitted, the court deciding that he had no jurisdiction of the case. Marshal Brown then swore out a complaint, which was given to the Evanston Marshal, our old friend, Jack Burns, as the Sheriff was too drunk to attend to business, and .permitted the prisoner while under his charge to go round without guard just as he pleased. Williamson was found in his lawyer's ssrs. and for Corey Mcllvaney acting him. He had a pistol in his possession, which he handed to one of his followers when He was brought before White Justice agaiu at 8, p. m., on Wednesday, and the Prosecuting Attorney !I.

W. 8. Richmond, Onslow Co., N. C, June 9th, 1874. Editor Junction : Dear Sir Sitting not long since under the sound of a Methodist preachers voice and in a Methodist Church; ia reproving sin, he stated thut they must cry aloud and spare not, that John the Baptist reproved Herod King of Judea on his throne and lost his head by it. That was that Herod had married his brother Philips' wife. This was so, and King Herod ought to have been reproved, because he had pointedly and positively violated the Levitical law, which says "thou shall not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife, for it is thy brother's nakedness." He had gone into the teeth of the law as fully as King David (the most Bublime writer in the Bible) did when ha. committed adultery with Uriah the Hittites wife Bathsheba. m But did that preacher show to his congregation that King Herod had it that time eight live wives of whom John the baptist said nothing? Josephus gives the names of his. King Herod's wives, nine in all. Now, ns the forerunner and entering wedge of Jesus Christ, if he had re proved King Herod of a plurality of wives, and told him not only to set aside Herodias his brother. Philips wife, hut alibis wives except the first one he married, then we would have grounds to believe that the matter was set aside, but John, like all the Patriarchs and Prophets up to him, was silent, or approved and sanctioned polygamy. The wisest men who ever lived were the of" ' ' fsprings of polygamy. EVSR GtADl. P.
