Srmation in facts. Scarlet fever is pre- . 'vailing in some sections of the District almost as an epidemic, and physicians at- . tribute the presence ofthe disease to the injudicions operations of the Board of Public Works. The Gorernment archi- tect, Mr. Mullett, and all his family have been attacked by this virulent distemper; Senator Howe of Wisconsin also has it, and as warm weather approaches it is not improbable that Congress wil} be driven from the capital by its ravages, while the White House may be rendered a very un- desirable residence for the man who is chiefly responsible for the existing state of affairs. If it is true that corruption breeds pestilence, Washington is in im- miner}; peril at this time.
