WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Messrs. Mathews & Knowles, the robbery of'whose store in Georgetown last week has been

mentioned, received an envelope by mail whichcontained $11,000 of the stolen bonds. The

firm is now about $5,000 out in money and

bonds.Extraordinary efforts are being made to re¬

pair at an early day, the breach in the C. & O.canal at Edwards' Ferry. The heavy rain of

Friday night interfered very much to retardthe work, having swept away much that hadbeen done.Several regiments and batteries were mustered

out of service last week in the Military Depart¬ment ot Washington. It is also reported that

an order will soon be issued mustering out the

negro troops in the Northern States, but re¬

taining those conscripted in the South. It isfurther stated that as soon as Gen. (xranfc re¬

turns to Washington another general order will

muster out every general of volunteers not ac¬

tually on duty, or whose services are not needed.There are, at the present time, upwards of onehundred major and brigadier generals who are

unemployed.Governor Marvin, of Florida, has ordered an

election for delegates to the State Conventionon the 10th of October.Senator Wilson, it is said, will on the first

day of the session of Congress introduce a bill

giving the elective franchise to the^negroes inthe District of Columbia.The story of the speedy trial of Mr. Davis is

again put afloat from Washington. It is now

rumored that his trial will immediately followthe final disposition of the case of Wirz.

A writer in the National Intelligencer givesthe reasons for the rise in the price of an¬

thracite coal, by which the retail deader is

forced to be governed, and makes the followingstatement:The retail dealer must have an advance of

from one and a half to two dollars a ton, or hecannot succeed in making a living. To showthe cost of a cargo of coal, to-day, the followingis the result ;Coal at Iiav^e de Grace or Philadelphiaper ton 9 00

.Freight from Philadelphia, per ton 2 25

Wharfage, weighing, and hauling to c^alyard, per ton 90

Now, add one and a half or (wo dollars forthe dealer, and you have the price of coal'andthe reason why it is so high. The origin ofthe "imposition" he says, is "with the owners jof the coal mines."
