[ Washington Letter. Boston and Charleston.?The Bos? ton Post of the 19th iuBt. says: ''The Washington Light Infantry of Charles? ton, S. 0 , propose to hold a fair1 iu that oily on the 1st of February,, for the relief of The widows and orphans of their deceased members, ?ud tiiey solicit tire aid of military friends'and others in the different States; in1 oo oompltsbiug their benevolent purpose a direct appeal has been made' to the military of this oity, and a meeting will be held this evening, JatirJary 19. at then armory of the^Bostdn Light Dragoons, Boylstou Hall, at 1)fx o'olook. to consider the subject of hav? ing a 'Boston table' at the fair, as evi? dence of the sympathy of the militia in this State with their brother sbl diers in Charleston. Ic in hopnd that this meeting will bo fully attended, and measures adopted indicntivoof the generosity of the militia of Massachu? setts." Tue Oh a noch ouo Frauds?A spe? cial despatch to the News anil Courier from Orangeburg, dated January 21, says: Ex-County Treasurer Humbuit was tried today on cbirges of official misconduct, und was fouud guilty aud seutenoed to one year's imprisonment iu the Penitentiary and a line of one thousand dollars. The ten indict? ments nguiuat Humbert and School Commissioner McKinley, for forgery, lie over until the next term. Humbert having changed front, no evidence can j tics? be had -gainst ex-Gov. Moses, and the game appears to be to make Humbert the scapegoat, while Modes aud Andrews escape. Judge Ried, however, says that he is determined to gut to the bottom of tLie stealuge busi? ness. Applications have been made to the Comptroller of the Currency at Wash ingtou for about $1,000.000 of bank circulation under the new Fiuuuce Aot. These applications are outiioly from Eastern States, and the greater part of the $1,000,000 is asked for by New York parties. It bus been as? serted that uotioes of the inteulion to surrender circulation wore prepared in advance of the passage of the bill, and placed in the hands of parties there to present as sonu us it became a law, and the amount that it bus been btuted it is already determined to surreuder is $5,000,000. Up t# this time, however, tbo Comptroller has received no notice from banks intending to surrender their circulation. ? . ... .. ? The Way of the Financier ih Hard.?The road to resumption under the bill recently approved by the Pre? sident, it is said, will be a hard one to travel, us in the short time whioh has elapsed since it became a law, applica? tions from over $3,000,000 of banking capital have been received from the Comptroller of the Currency?one third from New York, one-third from New England, aud tbo remainder from Pennsylvania und other States. Iu a letter to the indignation meet? ing at Ciuoinnati against the Louisi? ana outrage, Governor Allen, of Ohio, wrote as follows: "Things look gloomy, yet I do not dread the future. A few of the Republican politicians may, but the Republican masses will not stand passively by and sea uny man seek to assuage his thirst for power in the blood of the people. The Demooraoy, of oourse, will be true to itself." The sailors in the British navy have food for serious thought. Sir William Palliser asserts that the rivets with whioh the iron-olads are fastened are most unsafe, and Rear Admiral Fish bourne has published a pamphlet showing that a large number of the ! largest iron-olads are liable to founder.

Tom or George was one of those honest, per? sistent men of Manchester, who sab dae the world and get mouey, oue way or another. He mentioned to the officials on his death-bed, that he had at different times found himself com polled to kill no less than fourteen per? sons at Liverpool, Oswego, Toledo, Chicago, Toronto, Niagara, Louisvill.-, Memphis and other places. Southern versus Northern Manu? factures ?At a rtoeut meeting in Charleston, a letter was reud from u Northern manufacturer, trom which the anuexed extract is taken: "While I have only met expenses in the North in running twenty frames, (3,000 spindles,) tbe retarn I have from my sixteen frames of the sum machinery, in the Sooth, for the last six months, has beeu $15,000 olesr profit. Our company ban decided to sell out our maobiuery North. The Sooth enjoys an advantage of not less than tweuty per cent, over tho North? ern manufacturers." Remnants of a Confederate Ram A large piece of tbu Confederate, mm Charleston, which was blown up in Cooper River to prevent it from failing I into the hands of the Federal forcer-, has been lauded at Railroad Accommo? dation wharf by Prof. Mailleiert's wrecking Hut. The piece weigba t-ouie twcnty-nvo or thirty tons, aud is up? wards of eeveuty feet long. Another piece almost uh largo was lauded some weeks ago. These huge fragments are to be cut up uud will bo shipped lo Northern foundries. It is believed that but a small portion of the Charles? ton now remains to be lifted out of tbe river.?Charleston News and Courier. lietween May and October, 1874, there were banished to Siberia 16.880 persons. Ot these unfortunate*, 1 22U, being criminals of tbu worst descrip? tion, were sentenced to bard labor, and 1,624 bud been expelled from their communities as obuoxious, drunken or bnrdeiisome. These ex iles were voluntarily accompanied by 1,080 women uud children over flfcceu years of age,', with 1,269 younger chil? dren. Ten years ago, tbe number of criminals exiled to Siberia in a twelve mouth was ten times greater tluu the above total, which shows either a diminution of orimo or a oderoiful miti gatiuu of punishment.-' John A.

Statistics of Railroad Fatality. ? The Railroad Oasette, which takes note of all the accidents to passenger trains resulting in injury reported in Ameri? can newspaper*, figures up 204 killed and 978 injured in 1874, agaiust 2761 and 1,2:43 in 1873. Tois is a decrease of about one-fourth, uud is due to in? creasing care, a decrease iu tbo train mileage aud iu the speed ou uccouut of | tbe dullness and more favorable wee- j ther in the winter months.
