Secretary Folger is a good deal concern ed just now aboct the disooverr that it is possible to abstract plates and dies from safes of the bureau of engraving and print ing. Two of the most valna >lo dies were found lsst Thursday night wrapped np in a piece of paper, as though ready for re moval from the building. These dim had been receipted for by the custodian of dies and plates, as safe in his possession. They were the dies of the figure "10," wi'h the geometric lathe work, the moat difficult of all to counterfeit. Nobody coaid ex plain how they got oat rx the safe nor to what nse they may havo been put. The Secrotary ordered them destroyed, and the costed:an dismissed. The discovery shakes faith in the integrity of the bureau, and no one knows how many other plates and dies may have been abstracted long enough to obtain impressions to be used In coun terfeiting. a startling story. The Gazette, a Republican paper, prints to*day the following statement regarding the ulleaed false issues of treasury notes from plates used for printick the larger linations of United States * denominations of Unit the loss of which waa discovered notes, and I: "After th* $100 notes waa kept by some of the parties and secreted, Owing to the reten tion of this plate the arrest of the . party who secreted the some finally followed. While he was under trial, a proposition was made to him that if he -culd give unthe r divulge where it was secreted and expose hi* confederates, he should first be released fiom restraint and finally be par doned. This was declined, henco his trial, oonviction and incarceration for a long i>e- riodoftime. Soon after bis removal to the Albany prison, hia confederates ex* homed the $ UX) plate and made nee of it in the printing and altering of A LARUE AMOUNT OF CURRENCY, which went into general circnlation. It was not till duplioate numbers of tho same denomination wore discovered that the government saw the necessity of making a new plate and new issuo of $100 treasury notts. There are parties living -tome are dead—who shared in the spoils that ac cumulated from the issue of thia secreted plate. The parties constituted a ring, hav ing important ramification*. A remnant of that ring still exists. That there is snch a ring is undeniable, and it is claimed that these parties have enjoyed great faeiiitit* for handling the plates and tuning bonds printed thereon. What has been the ex tent of the spoils is not known, bot from the flash oondition of the known oonfedor- ates to uiin robbery of Um> go vernment and the spoliation of the people with the length of time it has been enjoyed, it is oertain the utterance and circnlation of aneh note* from th# stolen $100 plates bas run away np iuto mi'lions of dollars.’’ * Tho attempt to make way with the Q10 Jes last Thursday at the Engraving and Printing Bnrean lends color to the above startling narrative.

Faring Death TImt lie Might Ite.cne Three People from the Flnnioa. Special Dispatch to the Times. New York, May 29.—A fire broke out about 11 o'clock this morning in a .Suffolk •treat tenement. All ths inmates escaped before tbe flames had mado much head way except Samuel Frenkel and hi# wife ends girt named Hose. They were driven to a third store window by ths heat. They shouted for help, and their cries soon caused a scene of ictense excitement in the street below. Hnnrirede of people gathered in front of the building. There seemed no means of assistance at hind, however, and th9«e who looked on were unable to lend any aiJ. The excitement wm at the highest pitch when the tender of Engine No. 13 rattled np at break neck speed. The crew made a rash for the house, pushing th« crowd back on all sides, and an effort was made to read* tbe Inmates by climbing np the front of tbe store. It waa promptly abandoned as impracticable, howsvtr, and ladders were sought Nous were on hand, but from adjoiniug houses willing hands soon brought out two that were hastily placed against ths house, but they did not reach more than half way. The oosewaa now desperate, and the man waa making preparations to throw himself into tbe street The women clang to him with despairing gesture*, too exhausted to cry any longer. Then halfados*n firemen seized the largest ladder and placed it upon their heads and shonlders. One of their num ber, Fireman Frank Leonard, of engine 13, a sm It, sinewy moo, climbed up, bailees end coalless. The ladder was rotten, and each rung broke under Lis feet The other ladder was flung up beside the first and stepping on both, Leonard reached almost to the window. With ungallant haste the man of the three crowded first to the front and hung himself half way out seeking a foothold, bot the fireman poshed him back while the women palled from within. Then the girl Rose swung herself oat. and as she fall was seized around the waist by the Intrepid fire man and held fast Bba waa a heavy wo man, and tha la lders cracked and swayed under the doable weight One rang broke as the fireman began tho perilous descent but be held on with extraordinary strength and reached th- lower step with hie burden in safety. Looking upward at tbe moment be beheld Mrs. Frenkel balancing on the window till about to drop into hia anna. It waa too late to atop her by abonting; if site was not caught in tbe fall all three moat be hrown to the irroond and perhaps killed. With great coo'nesa and nerve Fireman Leonard held out hia disengaged arm and, while slowly letting the girl Roes slide downwards towards his comrades in the street aeixxl and caught Mrs. Frenkel as ■be let go l»*r hold.

They were received with sh rata and tears of Joy by hundred' of their neighbors, who bore tbe women into an adjoining house. Both were mere than half uneonaoioas.

Mr. Haielton, of Wisconsin, called up the contested election case of Lowe vs. Wheeler, from tho eighth Congressional district of Alabama, and against thu Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia, raised tho ques tion of consideration. Mr. Wheeler asked and obtained unani mous oooscot to make a statement. Twen ty-eight days after the record in this case had been printed, he had been forced into argument before the committee. The case stood alone on thi*—that it waa the only cm# where argument wm held before a sab-committee when the only Democrat on that mb-committe© was necessarily ab sent. It was tha only case in which coat sel for contcetee had been only allowed ninoty I minutes to argue a case involving impor tant questions of Uw and fact, and where tlie contest©© wm only allowed seven min- ntee to ntter words in his own behalf. Now it was proposed to force thia case before the Hons# on tbe very day that the major ity report waa printed. Again tbe tbreo gentlemen who were to argue tha cbm were mb-* ut, and ona waa sick.

Mr. Kenna replied that lie would not make any statement at all, unless per mitted to do so now, bnt hia Toiee wm drowned in cries for the regular order from to hRepublican side. In the midst of the con fast on MM iDiiud. M r. Uszeiton was heard exclaim ing that Mr. Wheeler bad bed every right b*f»»ru thejoommittee on ejections. When ord-r had been restored Mr. Ken na stated that when interrupted by Mr. Robeson he was about to iik unauimou* consent to grant Mr. Calkins two minutes to reply to Mr. Wheeler. There was no objection, fend Mr. Galkins, while dis claiming any intention to foroe a man into a contest when the gentleman who were to present bis case were absent, said that it would be deeirabh to know whether gentle men on tbe ether side would make dila tory motions or would help to make a quorum. Mr. Kenna believed that be represented the united mintimeutof the House when he said that no dilatory motion wonid be made or attempted; hot that after forcing a special rale in the manner in which St bad been adopted in all tbe oases, gentle men oa tbe other aide must be left to de velop a quorum. "Then we go on,” cried several KcDnblicana. Tho House then decided—yea* 148, nave 4—to taka up tbe election case. Mr. Ua- zelton took the floor and reiterated hia statement that the contest*© had bad a full and ample opportunity to be heard; that his counsel bad been heard m long m be desired, and that the gentleman bad bean able at any moment to get a report.

Iiig. r-*oll m behalf of the Dorsey brothers, opened with n re quest for leave to withdraw their ploaof not guilty nnd enter a motion to quash the indiotinents on the ground of iafonnnlitjr it. the ompoHitio;! *;f th" gr.md j.iry, tho /unit being that tho jary was not drawn ander the act of 1879, providing for the non purti-om potectiou of juries withth*- assistance of a United States commission- •r. Tho court ruled that it win not a proper morion, even if mado in the first □stance, because the district having no placo in politics there was no occasion for tho application of such law. Tho district bad its special code ,nnd it had never boon the practice to allow the intervention of commissioners iu tlie selection of a jary. I ho selection of a jury was then proceeded with ukder the laws affecting such trials in this district. The prosecution were only allowed three peremptory challenges, while Die detense woro allowed fear for onch de fendant, making twenty-eight in all—thero being seven defendant-* named in one in- diotment. This p'aced the prosecution at ^ disadvantage and the defense wore cor respondingly aggres«ivc. Tho challenges on ths part of the prosecation wore soon exhausted, and the seleodon of a greater part of the jary was in the han)s of tho defense and court. The challenges by the dtfen«« exhausted tho panel whon only ton jurors had been obtained. Fonr talesmen were summoned from tlio^o remaining. Tlie jurors wore selected, nud the following is a complete list; Wm. Dickson, foreman; Matthew McNelly, John B. McCarthy, Ed ward J. McLain, Wm. lv. Bown (colored), KJwin D. Doniphan, Henry A. Oloott, Wm. Holmead, Thomas Martin (oo'ored). Geo. W. Cox, E. T. Murray and Zacbariah '"obriener. Mr. Merrick asked the court to caution the jury against having any intercourse with any parties rriatir! to these cases. He abo desired them to abstain from reading the newspapers, and be criti cised severely the attacks mado by the 1 <*•!*'. u.-wpiipoM upon the prosecution. Undue inflnenco, ho said, had been brought to bear by tu-c parties, which he would mako ground for future action. Judge W* lie said that perhaps he should consider it his duty to bring thaae newspaper attacks to the attention of tho grand jury. only calling attention to the fact that but threo Republican member* were paying tho elighteet attention, nnd criticising rich inattention *>n the part of tin* judge* who wore to decide the oaae. It had been charged that thero was an agreement between ce*. tain gentlemen on the other ride (alluding to tho Greenbackers) and the Republican party. Mr. Jones, of Texas, pronounoed the charge to be false. Mr. Atherton—"Very well. I will show tn that the Republican paper itself charges ffs" backers had hot-n uteudfnst and troe to tho Republicans in the recent election cu-«ca, id that the Uiior were bound in honor to ts justice done to Lowe. Several Republicans—That ia justice." Mr. Atherton replied that soon it would bq found what justice meant in the Hepuh Beau ranks. There were now two Ropubli- listening in tho clnmDor,bnt when the matter camo to a vote ISO would como, it bout knowing anything about tlu* ro*e— floor to doss the Argument in his own be half. He reviewed the law nnd tlie facts in the case, nnd reduced therefrom tho conclu sion that he had been fairly and honestly elected as a member oi tho’forty-seventh Congress. * He thon H i Jeldsd to Mr. 8pringcr, of Ill inois, wi^P contended that if Mr. Lowe wore to be seated it would be nnon tissue ballots, and gave notice that he would in tro luce a resolution recommitting the case and instructing the committee tv ascertain the number of tjosue ballots cn*t for t if *r party, and to report wh rejecting all such ballots. It was a serious matter for houornblt* gentlemen voting to scats man upon tissafc ballots which could bo rend on one side as well as on tho other. If ever there had been a fraud ix'rpot rated on the ballot box, that li tic ticket was that fraud, nnd in order to seat the contestant 1,291 of them roust be counted. Mr. Calkins stated that though he had g nit) thing about the ea«e— f . ,ur f *«min«-d the ca«e he had for the id take the head off the sit- ? «rstttmo heard to-day of tissue ballots; that raise the ting member. dr. Horr, of Michigan, entered into an ironical«-il »gy u; on the great lot* Bcctual energy nnd et it* Mit.m«hip rliown h> thy Democrat.'during tho recent ti!i Entering movement. He characterized Mr. Randall, <-f l’otm**)Iv.viii, ii-* Iho of the cod test, Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, as its Marshall N'ey, and Mr. Hpringer, of Illinois, na the Joan of Arc [laughter], nnd he ridiculed the roiinigeoii-* manner in which they came up to make motions to adjourn. Tho latter gei.tb man tm I not entered iuto the conte-t until after Water loo* and until Napoleon waa on his way to St. Helena. Then, passing to a review of tho Chalmers oaae, and referring to the statement that ho was coming over to the Republican perty, ho declared that that rty had stood a good deal from tho _ . moersta, but that they could not pass Chalmers off. on it. He belonged to the Demoora'.io party, by nature. Manning, of Mississippi—"Will the gen- t'ernnn ooine down to Missirsippl this fall nnd mnke that speech aud holp mo boat him ?” Horr—"Yes; and if I can't do as much good to yon a* Chalmers, then I givo it np. "othiug would pleaso ms better than to imparo the Siamese twins." (Laughter], Atherton—"Will yon kecj Secretary Chandler from helping to elect hue,ac cording to contract V" Horr—"I don't believe it. It is not true, and if it is, Chandler ia in a low business." Manning—“That he la." Mr. Horr then passed on to a discussion f the Maekey-Diubla case, and mado soino ullti-l'Mir* to the method of el. cti-m in South IVi.lm i, which brought Mr. Kyum to hi-* feet with an assertion that Heath Carolina as not ashamed of anything she ever did. Mr. Horr replied that he was not fool ish enough to guess that tho would bo. What would mantle other people's checks with shams her peopio rolled as a sweet morsel under their tongues. Mr. Horr, in conclusion, protested against tbo decision of election cates upon technicalities, aud Ueclnred that he would vote for Lowe, al though to the sics of tho Democrat ho add- od thu foolishness of tlie Ureenbackcr. Pending further discussion, Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, reported from tho committee on appropriations tho legislative, judicial and *-xu 'utive «; pr«q nation bill, t!u« items of which havo already boon published, and it was referred to the oommittee of tbo whole. Mr. Uiseock, from tho same committee, reported back the gonoral deficiency bill, nnd it received a himil ir reference. 1 he election case then went over till to-morrow, when the previous quostion will be called early in tlie session, and the House at 4:23 adjourned until to-morrow. TUB STAn ROUT* CASES. Washington. Juno 2.—In tho star route _j*aa to-d/y, Col. blisa, of counsel for the government, mado the opening argument, explaining the ca*>o to the jary. The de- fsnae were ready with objections to parts of Bliss'statement of tho case, as being in nature of improper introduction of evidence, and at onetime a lovely wrnnglo had g itten w.-ll unde.- way when thu court interposod abruptly. Apologies followed from counsel on both sides nnd from tlie go on the bench, nnd Col. BUas resumed speech. He consumed th* entire day. and at its oonclasion tiie court adjourned till Monday. Col. Bliss concluded his analysis ot tho figures he presented from accounts of tbe department with the stataflMDt that one year of Brady's management oost $7,261,- K!.», while the contracts to be awarded July 31 of this year will only oost $1,108,- 755. The cost per mile had been reduced from $lf 90 under Brady to fa bttle more than one-half) under Elmoi's man agement, and this because there ato low no favored contractors. Mr. Wilson ob jected to allowing CoL Bliss to make comparison? between contract* lot four -ad not been mentioned in the proceedings or nrgiuiK-uth before the committee on ol. ctioiH. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, criticized the action of the Democrat* in the contested flection ra.<*\ declaring that tho f«.rt>- ssveLth Congress wguld pass into history hs the ouo in which a Democratic minority vsght by means hitherto unaaoplojrtd in parliamentary praetteo to prevent the House from Exorcising it* nnqut«*tion*d constitutional right to judgo of tho olec* tion of its own member*. It looked to him as though it were a well organized plan on the part of tho Democrat*, under leadership of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Randall), to prerent tho cu*cnting of Democratic member* from tha South, regardle-s of the mentis or methods by which they were (ha-lured floated. Northern DuuiocraU realized that without tbe solid South it was nothin/, and tne South could not bo kept solid by hono*ty at tho poll*, It looked ns if the Southern Democrats had served no. tioe on tho Northern Democracy that unless it stood by tho members sent from tlie Hoath tho partnership would be dissolved. He then proceeded to read extract* from Southorn journal* urg ing the Democratic party in tho House to exorcist) the power ot the minority to the utmost in order to prevent the ousting of Southern members, and declaring that any failure to stand ahoulder to shoulder with Southern Democrats would weaken the party in the South, if it did not knock tho bottom out of it altogether. That, ho in sisted, was ths order that had gone lortb, ami wit * th" true rea*oti t-r tho struggle. Ia couolusion ho appealed for an hono*t ballot nnd a fair count. The republio could withstand tho shock of revolution, it ooubl overcome tho invasion of i. foreign foe, it could endure the murder ot its executive head, but it could not long survive tho ss- sa*sinatlon of tho lovereign will of tho bnllot-box. A«Airst thi* high crime, aimed at Iho nation’s life, ho entered ri nation's eternal protest. | Applause.] Mr. Hazleton, of Kentucky, demanded the previous question, pending which Mr. Springer moved to recommit, with in* structions and placed that motion in tho form of u resolution nnd prentnblo. Tho preamble sets forth that a nnrnbtr of so- called depositions offered by the contestant were nevor certified and did not show that any of tho pretended witnesses wore sworn, and that soino of On depositions hadbeon changed sinco the examination. At this point Mr. Reed, of Maine, ob- jectoa to tho far’.hor rending, claiming that tho preamble*!* merely a speech,and mado tha poiut of orJer that it was not prop er to bo incorporate! in a motion to re commit. In nrgaing his point of ordor ho stated that tbe n legations in the prentnble were nntruu, aud that the resolution hid conto in umlor falso pretences, inasmuch as tho gentleman from Illinois hnd merely given notice that ho woald movj to recom mit with instructions. Mr. lUcdslI. of Pennsylvania, said that it was duo to tlie gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Kpringor), to state thnt thu prentnblo waa not drawn np by him, bat was placed in his charge after ho hnd made his speech. Mr. Bpriuger declared thnt he had acted n perfect good faith, nud that if the gen tleman from Maine (Mr. Rued) insisted to the contray, he was acting without the elightutft foundation. If he were the hon orable gentleman that he (Mr. Springer) had always regarded him to be, he would, in the face ot tho Uoo e and country, with draw tha intimation of bad faitb and falsehood.

Mr. Hoar sngflpwted that Mr. Ingalls be de':l~r*d tha presiding office? for tha day. He desired to arsld a protracted discussion at this time. His own opinion w.vs that tha action of tha Preaidant of tha Senile tn designating a member to take his place waa more binding upon tha chamber than woald be a designation by that officer of a rolirg by himself upon a parliamentary quration.

Mr. Windom replied thnt there was no prosecuting witne**; that his informant had learned of money being raised by *.ha distillers, and as they had legislation pending he snpeoaed it might be intended for that. The chair added that he had knowledge of there tacts and had the same suspicion, but said that In moving the inventigation he distinctly stated that he had no proof of the charge*. He said, however, that his informant woald be pat on tbe stand before the close of the Investigation. J. M.
