Patterson and his associates in villainy, as detailed in the re port of the Fraud Investigating Commit- j tee of the South Carolina Legislature, say > The man who planned this gigantic scheme of robbery and executed what he planned: the man who organ ized a thousand projects of plunder: the man who boasted of his dishonesty and j gloried in his own infamy: the man who I is under indictment for theft, and who escapes the clutch of the constable and the cell of the penitentiary by using the capital of the nation as a city of refuge for rogues: this man, this thief and -couudrel. sits in the Senate of the United States and defiles the place once occu pied by Hammond, by McDuffie and by Calhoun. His presence in that body bribery and corruption disclosed by the j is a daily disgrace to the nation and a South Carolina Investigating Committee j continuing insult to the Senate. Such is a truly sickening one. No wonder that : Chamberlain. Kimpton and Patterson re tired from the State with the Federal ‘ troops that protected them in their vil- j lainv, and no wonder that the indignant ; and outraged tax payers of our sister i State are demanding their arrest, trial j and punishment The Charleston Jour- j nai of Commerce closes an editorial recit- j ing the villainies of this baud of robbers as follows: What our people have a right to de maud is that Chamberlain and Patterson j should both lie brought to justice. We } have waited long enough, and patiently j enough, and we are weary with the delay. That these men are guilty of crimes against the commonwealth was j known to even* one long before the re- , ports of the Investigating Committee j were published. What the people want \ is acts. They believe in calling an axe 1 an axe. and a spade a spade, and if a \ well dressed man. with good education an 1 fine talents, commits robberies on a wretch should not be allowed the com p&nionship of honest and honorable men. We call upon the Senate to take action for the removal of this moral leper from their chamber, to expel him from their midst and consign him to the walls of a prison and the congenial fellowship of jail birds and felons. This is not a party question; it cannot be perverted into a political issue. Republicans and Demo crats have an equal interest in removing the reproach of the man's presence among them. The disgrace has already been endured too long: shall it be borne any loneer?” TELEGRAPH. THE EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS THE TIMES ON THE TREATY. Thonyht That Ras-ia Hill Accede to England's Demands.

The frauds in the letting of postal routes, with which the name of Senator Dorsey (Republican, of Arkansas,) is con nected, were perpetiated as tollows: Dorsey sent a number of blank bids to | Postmaster Hadley of Little Bock, Ar kansas, with instructions, under which the Postmaster induced two men to sign the bonds accompanying the blank bids, attested the sufficiency of the bondsmen and returned the papers to Dorsey. 1 he Senator then filled the blanks with the names of his brother and brother-in-law, induced a Notary to certify to the signa- By Coble to the Morning Xetes. London. March 22.—The Times' Paris dis patch says the questions which France de manded should be excluded from the Con gress were those touching the holy places as introducing a needless complication, and touching Syria because Syria might have j been offered to her as compensation for j English occupation of Egypt, and because she considers that the two-fold ques- j tion of Syria and Egvpt might • impair the good understanding with ) England. A great change has occurred in the Isst few days in public opinion about { England’s policy. The Journal des Debat* and RepuUique Francois commend England's ' attitude, and this feeling is shared, with few exceptions, by men and journals of all parties. They feel that by plac ing herself on the platform of ex isting treaties and insisting on the right of the Congress to discuss the whole treaty of San Stefano, England has restored to Europe the firm ground of principles which was slipping from under it. England's firm adherence to her condition is deemed the surest means of insuring that the Congress I will result in a durable peace. The text of the treaty is published. The Time* says: “There is much to criticise and resist, but nothing absolutely beyond the I pale of discussion.*’ A Vienna correspondent of the Tima sayp: “Although Russia seems to have ex- ItifiHilT CONDITIO* or THE LKON TRADE. London. March 22.—The Tima states that the iron trade in South Yorkshire is in a most stagnant condition. A large number of men are out of work. Within the past few days two of the leading works in Rotter- ham have stopped, owing to a scarcity of or ders, and about one thousand additional men are rendered idle. Of these establishments the Midland Iron Company had during the last ten years paid dividends averaging fifty per cent, per annum. It is also feared the colliers will strike against a reduction of wages, in which case thirty thousand men will be unemployed. CRITICAL SITUATION. Chicago, March 22.—Advices at head quarters indicate that Sitting Bull's forces aggregate seven thousand fighting men. They will not fight unless some one crosses their path. The situation is critical. TOBACCO FACTORY BURNED. Elmira. N. Y., March 22.—John J. Nicks’ tobacco factory has been burned. Loss $30,000. FAILED. Tarrttown. N. Y..

March 22.—A committee was appointed at the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to act in conjunc tion with the directors to prepare a ticket for directors for the ensuing rear, to be voted for at the election on Tuesday next. It has agreed upon the following: Thomas A. Scott. Josiah Bacon, Wistar Marius. John M. Kennedy. Samuel M. Fel ton. Alex. Biddle, N. Parker, S. H. Hart- ridge. Henry M. Phillips, Henry D. Welch. D. B. Cummings. The two last are named in the place of Alex. J. Derbyshire, of Phil adelphia. and John Scott, of Pittsburg. Mr. Welch is President of the American Steam ship Company and Mr. Cummings President of the Girard National Bank. INVESTIGATING THE JULY RIOTS. Philadelphia. March 22.—Tbe special committee of the State Legislature to inves tigate the cause of the July labor riots, met to-day. R. A. Ammon, of Pittsburg, head of the Trimmers' Union, testified that as Hartranft was absent, the impression among the strikers was that no one had authority to order the troops to fire on anyone. They I resisted, believing in protecting their own rightDie Mayor of Allegheny told him that he had not committed a breach of the peace, and advised him to resist the at tempted arrest. Prominent citizens offered the strikers arms and money. SOUTH CAROLINA INVALID BOND CASES. Columbia. S. C., March 22.—The Legisla ture to-day elected Judges Hudson, Thom son and Aldrich to constitute a special court to try the cases relating to the invalid bonds issued under the consolidation act of 1873, as provided in the compromise made two weeks ago on the debt question. The The South Carol in a Legislature, in stead of passing a joint resolution to protect the thieves who. according to the report of their eouftfiittee of investiga tion. plundered that State, should have adopted a memorial to the Senate of the United States nftploring it for the sake of decency and public morals, for the credit of the American name, to expel John J. Patterson from the seat which he now disgraces in that body. Xottrnrs. The Arlington Suit.—The case of G. W. C. Lee against Kaufman and others, involving the title to the Arlington es tate. will be tried on its merits at the July term of the United States Circuit Court at Alexandria, probably, if the par ties are all then ready. The District At torney excepted to the ruling of Judge Hughes on the preliminary matter de cided the other day, but appeal can on be taken from final judgment. The Radical infidel. Colonel Bob In- geisoll, and fifty thousand other petition ers, inform Congress that certain laws relating to the transmission of obscene literature through the mails were passed without their knowledge, and are being utilized for religious persecution : they want these laws repealed, or so modified as to protect the freedom of thought and of the press. were of European interest, in consequence j five year! of age’and Collins about nine- special court will sit on the first Monday in € * 1 I I4.A1 .1. 4 .4 ' _ .

The South Carolina commission for the investigation of the carpet-bag frauds in that State declare that they have ample evidence with which to convict Chamber- lain. A resolution has passed the Legisla ture, however, that a nolle prosequi be enter ed in all cases against him and his confeder rates. Two negroes convicted of outraging Kate Smith, alias O’Fail, near Middletown were hong at Newcastle, Delaware, yesterday. Both died easily: one in eleven and the other in eleven and a ualf minutes. Tbe Turks have sacked several Grecian villages and massacred all the inhabitants except those v. ho escaped to the mountains. As these are covered with snow, unless re lief is sent the refugees they must perish of cold and hanger. The coming Papal consistory will be held on the 28th instant. No encyclical will be issued by the Pope, he being unwilling to commit himself to any policy during the present complications in Europe. The Pope discountenances the return of the Jesuits to Rome, and they therefore oppose his policy. Mr. Stephens yesterday introdneed a bill in the House authorizing the coinage of sil ver and the issue of silver certificates on the same terms as are observed in the coinage of gold and the issuing of gold certificates. Also to retire twenty, five and three cent silver pieces, and for the coinage of trade dollars for exportation to the amount of $750,000. England's course in demanding that the whole Turco-Russian treaty shall be submit ted to the Congress is generally approved by France. The feeling there is that by plac ing herself in lUi* position, England has re stored to Europe the firm ground of princi ples which was slipping from under it, and her adherence to the stand taken by her will insure a durable peace as the result of tbe Congress. The London Times, reviewing the treaty, says l4 there is much to criticise and resist, but nothing absolutely beyond the pale of discussion.” The impression prevails in \ ienna that Russia 'rill accede to England's demands when the treaty is formally delivered in London, which will probably be done to-day. The Ames Company of Chicopee, Mass., which cast the bronze doors for the capitol at Washington, the bronze work on the Lin coln monument, and many other well known works, and which company was once very rich, has had all its property and machinery attached for debt. Wages to the amount of $30,000 are due their employes. Other credit ors, representing In all $<•■>,(XXI, have also at tached the property. {Jilting Bull’s forces are reported to aggre- • gate seven thousand fighting men. They will not fight unless their path Ib crossed, but the situation is regarded as critical. The Senate Committee or. Privileges and Elections hare decided that they can reopen the Corbin-Butler contest, and will consider the ease on its merits at their next meeting. A fire at Danville, Virginia, yesterday, de- riroyed several hotlses and much leaf and manufactured tobacco. Tbe loss is esti mated at eighty thousand dollars: insurance fifty tlioosand dollars. The Turkish police in AdrianopW have committed various excesse« and pillaged bouses containing property which had been committed to the care of the French Con sulate.

Several prominent citizens offered money and arms to the strikers. The private bank of Henrv W. Beale, at Chumung, N. V-has failed, and a serious loss to depositors is feared.

The House Banking ant Currency Committee has agreed on a bill which provides for the unlocki.g of the re serves of the national tanks. The re serve fnnd of the national banks aver- „ i r-c t v to a hundred million ages from nmeiy , , dollars, ft is proposed that the banks be permitted to invest this fund in four per cent bonds.

It says: The profligate rascality of Kimpton and Patterson Is known. There is no end to the charges against ex-Govemor Chain berlain. Cui boned The effort to secure Patterson has failed. He cannot be touched while the Senate is in session. Kimpton has fled to Canada or Broad way, New York. Ex-Governor Cham- lierlain is quietly attending to hi* law business in New York, and persons who have seen him during the past week or two say that lie is ready to come to South Carolina whenever he is wanted. The only offender of high position who can bf* easily reached is ex Gov. Chamlierlain, and no requisition is made for him. nor has he been indicted. The Stale is in the position of making charges that il eaa ? t prove, or of making charges that it does not desire to prove. Why not take-Chamberlain at his word ? He is of more consequence than Kimpton an i Patterson combined. The trial and con viction of Mr. Chamberlain will go fur ther to establish ihe justice of the oppo sition to Radicalism in South Carolina than all the talking and writing that can be crowded into the interval of time be- i this and the next Presidential ejec tion. South Carolina is exposed to mis construction, ami is placed in a false position by reason of her failure to move aggressively against Mr. Chamberlain. The people believe him to be guilty and the State is expected to prove it. The Neirh and Courier says Chamber lain, the arch scoundrel of the villainous pack, has proclaimed his willingness to return to rOmtb Carolina whenever he is wanted, and asks “Why npt take him at his word?” So say we. Why noli Can it be that Chamberlain, like our Bullock, like Anderson and Wells, is fortified with legal technicalities against conviction and punishment for his felonies, or is he, too, protected from moles tation by agreements and pledges, by guarantees of immunity for pa^t “political offenses,” which, in Radical parlance, covers the whole vocabulary of crime? If such a compact exists there must be other parties to the bargain be sides Chamberlain, and it behooves the existing government to vindicate it self from suspicion by promptly bringing him to trial. It will lie seen by our Washington dis patches. received since the above was in type, that the South Carolina Legislature before its adjournment passed a joint resolution requesting the Governor to no!, pros, all cases brought by the State l«ts?*d upon the facts found by the joint Investigating Committee on Public Fraud. This action of the Legislature is scarce?’ lees astonishing than the frauds which t*y have brought to light. If it was n* for the purpose of punishing the perp< rators of those stupendous frauds, urh^ ycrethe invalidations made, or why sho 1(1 sults be brought by the State a^ ilLst tlie thieves and plunderers?

Berlin, March 22.—Crown Prince Fred erick Wilhelm will be appointed the Em peror's substitute for Alsace and Loraine, and will reside there temporarily. Rome, March 22.—Cardinal McCloskev and Lieutenant General Count Gerboux Desonnaz, King Humbert's Aid e-de-Camp, have visited General Grant.

Both Wells and Ander son have powerful friends in the State, however, outside even of the Republican party, and the decision of the Supreme Court will have the effect to strengthen efforts in their behalf. There is a better and more hopeful feeling among Repub licans here. They’ are beginning to be lieve that Nicholls and the Supreme Court intend to see justice done them in all matters, and they begfa to express more interest in the future of the State.” Justice is about the last thing they should desire from Governor Nicholls and the Supreme Court. They had much better rely on technicalities. TF CROSSED. The New York Bulletin says: “The railroads are ‘getting in’ on all sides. Captain Eads recently stated to the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce that the time is near when grain can be carried from St. Louis to New Orleans for three cents per bushel. At the same time, we are on the eve of the completion of the Welland canal improvement : while a line of railroad along the Erie canal, with connections through to Jersey City, Is projected under conditions that promise to reduce the costs of canal transporta tion about two-thirds. Beyond this the Legislatures and Congress are devising means for compelling the roads to render better and cheaper service to the public.

A caucus of the committee of thirteen, appointed bv the recent House Demo cratic caucus, was held Tuesday night to discuss Banning's army bill, with a view to sustaining it as a party measure in the House.

Every one knows that General Grant gen erally travels “D. H.” He is in training for 1880, and his jockeys foot the hills. Is There a Mail Contract “Ring?” In the House on Wednesday, during the debate on the bill to provide for the ad vertising of mail lettings, Mr. Money, a member of the Postal Committee, stated that a mail contractor was before the Postal Committee, who testified that he received $40,000 for carrying* the mail over one of the territorial routes, and sub let it for $15,000. Mr, Money said also that one “ring” of contractors con trolled over six hundred routes. More than $10,000,000 government bonds changed hands last week in New Y’ork, *1* amount unprecedented in any single week since tbe time of the placing of the four and one half per cents. A growing distrust of savings banks and of real estate security in the West, causes Western people to buy bends. Since Monday orders from Cincinnati amount ing to $250,000 have been received. The orders are generally divided into small amounts, and are for the poorer classes, who have heretofore invested in savings banks. Reform in the Navy.—Secretary Thompson lias issued an order that here after non commissioned officers of the marine corps cannot lie reduced while serving on shore, except with the ap proval of the commandant of the corps or the sentence of a court martial. On shipboard, he cannot be reduced except to the next inferior grade, and in pursu ance of a sentence of a court martial. This Ink I.-.; from captains of vessels and the commander of companies of guards or marines their power to dismiss non commissioned officers at will. congressional. Washington, March 22.—In the House Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, Chairman of the Committee on Coinage, reported a bill to amend the laws on the subject of coinage, to perfect the double metallic standard, to provide for issuing gold and silver bullion certificates and to retire 20 cent, 5 cent and 3 cent silver coins now in use, and to continue the coinage of trade dollars for exportation only at the rate of $<;jO,0Q0. Ordered printed and recommitted. The first section provides that the coinage of gold and silver bullion shall be on an equal footing, and on the same terms and conditions—that is to say, the actual cost of coinage of each shall be paid by the owner. The Committee on Privileges and Elections decide that they have power to reopen the Corbin-Butler case. In the Senate Mr.Conkling presented a joint resolution of the New York Legislature re monstrating against the abandonment by the government and the sale of the Water- vliet Arsenal, New York. Referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. In the House, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, ( Iflrmin .,f the Committee o« Coinage re ported a bill to allow the ccinage of silver bjllion for owners on the 6aAie terms as gold bullion is coined (that is, ibr the cost of the coinage;: also, to authorise the issue of cer tificates on tbe deposit of silver bullion or coin (the same as jold certificates), which are to be receivable ior public dues. There were abrtft forty pension bills con sidered and passed, among them one (in troduced bv * r - Goode, of Virginia,) pen sioning Carfain Guthrie and the surfmen who lost «eir lives in rendering assistance to the rfew of the wrecked steamer Huron, on tW North Carolina coast last November. Nomination—Wm. P. Canady, Collector a Customs at Wilmington, N. C. Among the confirmations to-day w as that of Prince, Postmaster at Augusta. There w ere no others of any Southern or general interest. Mr. Wadleigh, a committee of one. to whom the Committee on Privileges and Elections referred the question whether the admission of Butler, of South Carolina, pre cluded further inquiry by the commit tee as to Corbin’s right to the seat, reported the ease still before the committee on its merits. The report was adopted by the full committee, and they will proceed to consider the ease at the next meeting. The Finance Committee heard Haum, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, iu favor of the bill allowing whisky to remain three years in bond; also Oliver and Karwiese in opposition, they representing forty-three rectifiers and wholesale dealers in Louisville. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections report resolutions that Dr. Mc Millan and Judge Ray. of Louisiana, be paid <1,000 each in compensation for their contest. The Vice President laid before the Senate a communication from the Secretary of War enclosing a letter from the Chief of Engi neers, recommending an appropriation for continuing the examinations in connection with the construction of jetties at tbe South Pass of the Mississippi river. Referred to the Committee on Appropriations. The limlv r amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill passed th^ Senate. It must go back to the House, and "only applies to unsurveyed lands of Territories. The restric tion was made at the suggestion of Mr. Morgan, of Alabama. Die amendment as agreed to is as follows: “That where wood and timber lands in the Territories of the United States arc not surveyed and offered for sale in proper sub-divisions convenient of access, no money herein appropriated shall be used to collect any charge for wood or timber cut on the public lands In the Territories of the United States, for the use of actual settlers in the Territories of the United States, where the timber grew; and, provided further, that if any timber cut on the public lands shall be exported from the Territories of the United | It shall be liable to seizure by United States authority wif^er found.’* The Senate then adjourned to Monday. THE AMES COMPANY MuR&S ATTACHED. New York, March 22.—A special from Springfield. Mass., says: “Two hundred workmen of the Ames Company of Chicopee have attached the mill and machinery for the wages due from December, to the amount of $30,000. Other creditors also attached property, making $75,000. The stockholders are flghtiug to overthrow the present management, and the annual meet ing at Boston yesterday was adjourned to the 28th. The* Chicopee people are ex cited. The Ames Company cast the bronze doors at the capitol, of can non for the government during the war, the bronze work on the Lincoln monument, and many other well known works. The company was once rich, but has lost heavily of late years." PERIOD FOR HOLDING WHISKY IN BOND. Washington, March 22.—The Finance Committee heard the argument on the exten sion to three years of holding whisky in bond. The question will be decided next Tuesday as far as the committee of the Senate is con cerned. with the prospect favorable to the report. The bill passed the House by two majority. The question excites great inter est among smaller dealers, who are opposed to the measure, as its tendency is to allow heavy holders to control* the market, mean while the aging of the whisky will more than pay thelnterest in bond. PRINTERS* STRIKE IN PARIS. Paris, March 22.—Work is suspended in the printing houses, and the publication of books is stopped in consequence of the primers’ strike. Papers publish regular issues, the strike not affecting them. himself up several times, and then made no movement but that occasioned by his breathing, which lasted about five minutes.

C.. dispatch states: “The Chairman of the Fraud Commission in the Senate yesterday pul>- licly announced they had ample evidence to secure the speedy conviction of ex-Govemor Chamberlain for his share in the crimes against the State. Resolutions, however, which passed the House Wednesday passed tne Senate Thursday to the effect that, notwithstanding the* investigations have proved the truth of several charges made against those who since 1368 have ruled and almost rained the State, the Gov ernor is requested to order a nolle ptn&gui in any cases brought by the State based upon fart* fonnd by the joint Investigatincr Com mittee on Public Frauds.” CIRCULAR OF THE LIVERPOOL COTTON BROKERS’ ASSOCIATION. Liverpool. March 22.—The 'circular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Association says: “Cotton has been in moderate demand and with an irregular market. Prices of most descriptions have declined, but to-day (Thursday; the market is steadier at reduced quotations. American was in moderate request with a free supply offering. Quotations are reduced about 3^d. In sea island there was a fair business, chiefly In Florida, of medium grades at rather easier rates. Futures opened at very dull prices: Wednesday even ing they showed a decline of l-16d. but to day this was recovered, the market closing firm.” DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN DANVILLE, YA.

The total loss is $80,- 000: insurance $50,000. the coming consistory. London, March 23.—A special dispatch from Rome to the Tunes says the consistory will be held on the 28th inst*. No encyclical will be issued, the Pope not wishing to com mit himself to any definite policy in the present complication of European affairs. His Holiness will only deliver an allocution, avoiding all political allusions. The Standard has a Rome dispatch saying the head Jesuits recently proposed to re turn to Rome, but the rope received the proposition coldly. The Jesuits, therefore, are opposing the Pope's general policy. ungland still insists on her demand. 8t. Petersburg, March 22.—-The Ayence Ruxxe says that England has not yet replied in regard to the Congress. 8he still insists upon her demand that all conditions of peace be submitted, notwithstanding the text of the treaty has been communicated to the Cabinets and Russia has agreed to complete the freedom of discussion at the Congress. The chances of the Congress meeting have diminished MORE TURKISH BARBARITIES. London, March 22.—The Time* has a dis patch from Valo, saying the villages of Olympus, Repsana, Carla aud Litochois have been sacked and burned by the Turks. The women, children and old men were all mas sacred, except some who escaped to the mountains, which are still covered with snow. Unless a ship is sent to relieve them they will probably perish from eold and hun ger* The insurrection progresses steadily. EXCESSES OF THE TURKISH POLICE. Constantinople, March 22.—The police organized in Adrianoole have committed various excesses, anu pillaged last week houses containing property belonging to the Turks and Frenchmen which had been com mitted to the care of the French Consulate. NOLLE PROSSED. New York, March 22.—The indictment agamst Henry Clews has been nolle prossed. Clews has obtained warrants for the arrest of the conspirators. GOVERNOR HAMPTON ENDORSED.

Athens, March 22.—The negotiations be tween Hobart Pasha and the Greek insur gents have ended, Hobart refusing to recog nize the provisional government of Thessaly. REPORTED REVOLUTION IN ROUMANIA. St. Petersburg. March 22.—There is an unconfirmed rumor in circulation here that a revolution has broken out in Roumania, and that Prince Charles has fled. TOBACCO FACTORY BURNED. Elmira. N.

London, Ont., March 22.—A fire at Mel bourne last night burned Cameill's Hotel and several stores adjoining. Loss $32,000. Mrs. Jefferson Davis is described as being at present a very stout, very intel ligent and very amiable looking woman. Her face is round, she lias a large and expressive mouth, aud black hair -freaked with gray. She is kind hearted, and is said by a correspondent of the Time*, of Chicago, to be much liked in Memphis, especially by young people. Mr. Davis is very thin, and looks very old and broken. Their eldest daughter, a gentle and graceful young woman, is married j and lives in Memphis. They have two other children, one a girl of sixteen now at school in Germany, whither Mrs. Davis took her last summer, and the otlie* a young man now in Memphis, Jefferson Davis, Jr. He is about twenty- two years of age. He has her large, not handsome face, and is an awkward, loquacious, good-natured sort of an over grown boy. The Davis family is com paratively poor now, and Mrs. Davis frequently alludes to “our poverty” in a jocular way. "Patriotism” and “conciliation” ought not to be all on one side. Since the ac quittal of the Louisana returning board conspirators, and the resolutions calling for a ruA. pros, in favor of the South Carolina thieves, the Radicals might af ford to permit General Butler to retain the seat in the Senate, to which he is justly entitled. A Washington dispatch says Eustis’ bill giving the States power to establish quarantine laws and levy a tonnage tax is favored by many Senators, and is ex pected to pass. Southern Senators will stand by M. C. Butler’s bill, which makes State banking free. It has a chance to pass. ilnv Admiisfiufuts. C O .V L . Extra Preparation. Prompt Delivery.

Desirable Property AT ISLE OF HOPE FOR SALE. Desirable Summer Residences, Free Rides to France.—It seems almost impossible for this government to undertake anything without abuse of some kind creeping in. It is now com plained by the exhibitors for the Paris Exposition that the Constitution, which has just sailed from Philadelphia, was so overloaded with naval officers and others who wanted to go to the Exposition at the public expense that but a compara tively small amount of freight, only one hundred tons, was carried. The num ber was so great that it was necessary to put two in a berth and swing hammocks on the deck. It cost $40,000 to fit out the ship for sea. It is contemplated to send several more naval vessels with goods, and the experience will no doubt be the same as with the Constitution. It would have been much better to send the goods by private conveyance. It would have involved much less expense and much less dissatisfaction.

Reduction of Telegraph Opera tors’ Salaries.—The operatives of the YVestern Union Telegraph Company have been notified that on the 27th of this month their salaries will be reduced ten percent. This will be the third reduction of that amount made by the Western Union, and a great deal of dissatisfaction on account of it exists among the opera tors throughout the country. The Wash ington Star says: “It is expected that a strike will occur among them about tbe first of next month, originating in New Y'ork. If started there, the operators here, who number about two hundred, say the}’ will follow and stick it out. The salaries of some of these operators now do not amount to more than twenty- seven and a half dollars, and they think they cannot stand another reduction. " Excursions. Excursion to Tybee.

There are now seven large mills in New Orleans, and others at Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Natchez. Vicksburg, Dallas, YIemphis, Nashville, and even St. Louis and Chicago. A ton of seed produces twenty gallons of oil, worth $3 56, while the refuse cake, worth $20 per ton, is valuable as food for domestic animals and for fertilizing land. Why can there not be a company organized in this city to turn Lamar’s old flour mill into an oil factory, and convert the tons of cotton seed now used for manure, or left to rot around the gin houses in Southern Geor gia and Florida into oil, worth 50 per gallon? As CoL Sellers would say, "There’s millions in it!” There ha3 been much discussion about the number of men engaged on either side at the battle of Gettysburg, but tbe question lia3 never been definitely set tled. General Longstrect estimated the Confederate force at 52,000 men and tbe Federal force at 95,000 men. General Humphreys writes to the Philadelphia Weekly Times a letter on the subject. He evidently goes over the figures with great care, and makes the “effective total" of the Confederate infantry 54,356 men, or adding the officers, 59,457. Meade’s army he estimates at 76,873 men. The total of all arms, infantry, cavalry, artillery, provost guards, signal corps, engineer brigade, etc., in Meade’s army, General Humphreys put at 99,475, while Lee’s total of all arms was 74,880. These figures are probably the most accurate that have been given. Happy tidings for nervous sufferers, and those who have been dosed, drugged and quacked.

A Dead Lock .in Prospect.— 1 Tbe first step towards a dead lock between the two houses of Congress was taken by the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday in non-concurring in all the Senate amendments to the Military Academy bill except one, which limits the cadets at large to ten. As the Sen ate is supposed to be firm in its position, the Conference Committee will have a very difficult task. The amendment limiting the cadets to ten shows that the House is not disposed to be any more friendly to Mr. Hayes than the Senate was. This amendment will prevent him GROCERS Provision Dealers !
