One naturally expects to find in a Washington letter a lull account ot all that in going on in that, city, and it is anything out agreeable to a coitcr- i pendent who regards truth to \>e compelled to state the only topics that now seem to possess a particle ol interest in tho public estimation are the transactions ol the various investigating committees; the character ol the numerous wit nesses and the amount ol weight to be given to their testimony. It is an undeniable I act that this whole lling at, Mr. Maine originated with his own party and was intended as a death blow to his 1 'residential aspirations. It seems to have acted much upon the principle ol the Australian weapon, i he lioomerrang.

It is apparently thrown al a person some distance in j front ol i lie party using it but is really | aimed at tin* party or object many yards in tin: rear and in Skillful hands j siddom misses its mark. Hut in the hands ol an awkward or earless operator it often conies hack with deadly cfleet upon the one who has thrown it. So the weapon aimed at. .Mr. lllaine appears to have flown hack and Smote the part v w ho threw it. Mr. lllanu in all prohrhility will be the Republican nominee at Cincincinati. Ol course the immaculate Rads j are loud iu their denunciation ol the D( mocratie House, hut the lllaine party are pretty well aware pi lltei origin ol the trouble.

While Judge Maher was holding the Court of Common Ljjease in Barnwell last week he was informed by the colored jury that they had heen without food all day; there was no money to pay their tickets, and that they could not get credit; whereupon the Judge dismissed them with the remark that lie hoped they would be able to elect a county government in the fall that would be able to avoid so disgraceful a state of Affairs. The Judge further said: ' Under the circumstances, I will b? compelled to discharge you, for 1 cannot keep you here in a starving condition. But you see to what a condition you have brought the country. You are not without blame, for the men in office, responsible, lor the stoppage of the court, were put there by your votes. Here we arc in the month of May; there is no money to pay your Judge, to pay jurors, to support the prisoners in jail, or pay tho expenses of the county. You colored voters are responsible lor this thing, for by your votes lite bad men who have brought about this lamentable stale ot allairs were selected."
