WASHINGTON, Nov. !, lSal.


The President and family are at home and well--
same of he Cabinet


Lieut. Tansll, u 5. N. who has been lying dam
gerousy sick at his residence in Virginia, but who,
as being the material witness for the prosecution OF
the inquiry In the case Of Lieut. Mclaughlin, has
come on 70 tne city, as we are informed, with
view OF giving In his testimony as may be required
Meantime, the Court OF INQUIRY having adjourned
we presume Lieut. Tanslll will be suffered 70 re-
main, return home, at his discretion


We had neglected to notice, for several days past
the presence of Gen. Simon Cameron and Calvin
Blythe, and Gen. T. J. Sutherland, in the CITY,
The two last are old Tyler office-holders-the for
mer, an ou-and-out Buchanan man on the subject
of the Tariff. But what has been the OBJ
Ject of their visit, severaly or collectively, or
whether they have achieved 1t, expect to achieve
1t, or whe ther they have gone out OF town to-day
or expect TO go out tomorrow, we have not taken
the trouble to inquire, believing that their presence
here at this uncture is OF small interest the pub
lie, and OF no advantage to themselves, that Is, II
General Sutherland and Major Blythe have anything
like ration or two of the spoils in their calcula
ton.

making tor the displacement of Peter G. Washing
ton, sixth auditor. We believe, however, the Pre-
sldent Is satisfied with the man. A Mr.. w. Booth,
late deputy collector at New Castle, Delaware, is
now in the city. He has papers in his possession,
showing that he was displaced through the infiu-
ence with, and representations to, Mr.. Walker, by
the Barneys We were shown this morning copies
Of some of these papers I; and accompanying them
the printed copy (printed by Barney Of letter
from Mr. W. Chase Barney, to his wife, Oate Miss
Elizabeth Booth,) which letter, for its disgusting
vulgarties, cannot be surpassed If Barney really
authorized the printing of that letter and its circua
ton, he ought to be hooted out of the community
Whether its statements true or false (and it is
would publish such statement deserves not the
countenance Of honorable men. We believe Mr.
Booth is here to lay his before the secretary of
the treasury.


question at last. Though we have not been able to
gather any thing satisfactory from this organic full
mination, we shall take hold of the question in con.
necton with the administration, with a purpose Of
serious examination in day or two.
