Savannah, March 15,1876.
Editors Telegraph and Messengers Tho
Government officials of this city were on
the qui vies yesterday, being swooped
down upon by a seedy individual cnlling
himself R. C. Ould, son of the ex-Confed-
rate Commissioner for the exchange of
prisoners, and claiming to be a special
agent of the Treasury Department,
whose business it was to lock into the
acts and doings of United States officials'
He was Introduced to everybody, and the
officials vied with each other as to who
hould show him the most attention.
But he received their courtesies with
lignity becoming his position, and soon
gained the confidence of many, and
might have been seen flitting from room
to room in the granite building, tbence
to the revenue office. In fact seemed
full of business between tho two—ha was
caucused with and interviewed without
cessing, although appearing very pa
tient when listening to complaints and
charges of inefficiency made by one officer
sgainst another, and the willingness on
the part of some to aid the gentleman in
getting testimony, was truly amazing.
Thev worked at it as though their po*i-
tion depended upon it. and it was confi
dently expected that maDy official heads
would drop into tho bosk t when his re
port was filed. But alas the beat laid plans
of men and mice aft gang aglee, for, after
completing his official investigations he
called at tho. United States Marshal's
office for a loan of the wherewith to pay
bis board, and failing to show his cre
dentials, was promptly arrested. _ It is
not known how well he succeeded in ob
taining substantial aid from those who
were most interested in him, and when
last heard from, was kicking up his heels
and enjoying himself as best he might
on the inside of the barrack windows.
Market.
London, March 17.—After regular
business hours yesterday there was re
newed distrust among stock operators,
and a general relapse in prices. Two
failure* occurred this morning, the lia
bilities of each small. Business was ro-
-tricted to home railways and depressed
by tho largo quantity of stock thrown on

ures, foreign securities are stronger and
in most cases better prices were realized.

■staples are unchanged, though prices are
stiffening.
The 6prmg seeding operations have,
been much delayed by the winds and

tlement. No more can now be declared

* It is understood that Hays will sub
mit a statement to tbe committee.
Gov. Campbell, Third Assistant Secre
tary of State, appeared before the War
Expenditures Committee in explanation
of a charge made against him in the New
York Herald, relatiqe to his securing the
appointment of a post traders'll ip. He
denied every :reflection upon him con
tained in the article, and said he had in
no manner been connected with the sale
of post tradcrship3, nor had any one for
him.
The Republican caucus to-day unani
mously agreed that the necessary efli
ciency of the civil service would be se
riously impaired if a sweeping reduction
be made throughout all its branches, by
the application of the reported policy of
the House committee to cut down nearly
all salaries ten per cent, and the force
employed twenty percent.; also, that
the actic-n of the House in proposing to
abolish a number of our missions to South
America and reduce the salaries of our
principal ministers in Europe is unwise
and impolitic.

In the House to-day Mr. Hurlbut, of
Illinois, from the Committee on Military
Affairs, reported back the joint resolu
tion authorizing the issuance of certain
arniR to the Washington Light Infantry
of Charleston, S. C., and the Clinch Rifles
of Augusta, Ga. Passed.
