Oloim-Agents Hungoring for o Bite of the Geneva Award, Partles Figuring for a Substitute for the Franking Privilege. Epectal Dispateh lo The Chicago Tribune, THE WAWASBSET INVESTIGATION, WassixatoN, Aug. 20.—Gen. D. D, Emith, Buporvioing Tuspector-Goneral of Steambonts, arrivod from tho West this morning, to bo pros- ent at the Wawasset fnvestigntion, In a fow diroct, practical questions, ho discoverod more evidonco of ineflicioncy and carelessnoss of disct- pline on tho part of tho officors than has beon disclosed during the procoding four days of the examination,” The Captain acknowledged that ho Liad mado two trips without any licouso ; that tho men nover practicod fn tho use of tho fire-apporatun ; that tho fire-apparatus had ot tboen inspooted or tho oxtinguishors oxamined | or charged for threo mouths, and that ho Aid not know thnt o Captain had to be liconsed until tbis investigation began. o had not read tho rtegulations or tho Jaw.

The fow Ropublican politicians from Toxas who are here nre very despondent at the pros- yects of their ticket in that Stato this fall. Thoy fonr that tho Germans, who control somo 14,000 votes, will also unite with the Domocrats and carry tho State. It is not belioved that thero will'be & split in the Domocratio ranks, aa les ‘beon ropresonted. THE NEW CIGAR-STAMP DOX. 1t 18 atated that tho opposition of the cigar- nianufacturers to the adoptionof the new cigar- stamp box, which the Commissionor of Intornal Tovenue has submitted for cxamination, does mot igo sololy from tho faot that tho box i patonted. Ono of the atrongest argumonts urged against tho box at tho timo it was oxam- ined hore was that tho manufacturors could not take tho cignry out of the box and put thom in another box benring n different brand. It appears io booue of the most profitablo tricka of tho trado to sell tha same quality of cigara to customers under difforont brands, and to shift them from one box to another, according to the chiraotoer of tho orders aud the condition of the stock. Thesa practices the adoption of theso bozxon, it is said, would abolisb, for the reason that the cigars conld not bo changed to a diffor- ent box aftor tho stamp and brand had boon once offaced, 8o greatis tho opposition to tho adop- tion of this box that the Internal Itovonuo Buroau loarns that the Cigur-Manufacturers' As- sociations throughout tho country ro socuring protests and subscription liats, The Commis- sioner, however, has not 18 yot formally recom- monded tho box, a8 stated, but Liny merely sub- mitted it to the oxamination of tobacco-doalera for their opinion. The oflicers of the Internal Rovenue who bave esamined it very gonorally approvo it. MAIL TRANSPORTATION. Under the Postal act which went into offect July 1, the compensation of the railrond com- Ennios for tho transportation of the mails is to o ndjnsted in accordanco with the weight of tho mails, tho longth of the ling, and the character of tho faclities offored by tho road un- dor the law. Tho mpils arc to bo woighed in Octobor as & sample woighing, the ronds having objected to weighing at an carlier poriod, claiming that the business of the dull season was not & fair tost of the average amount of mallg, REVENUE ITEN. In roply to a statoment in thesa dispatches, whivh bias been contradicted, tho Internal Rove- nue officers atate tho fermentation poriod is uni- form throughout the United Statos at forty-two hours, and that there is no local standard for Cincinnati, 8t. Touis, or Quincy sdjusted ac- cording to the conditions of the climate. Tho uniform standard ia forty-olght Lours, and the salcs of spocinl stamp taxes aro oxpected to-con- form to that formontation period. THE POSTAL LAW. 1t is vory evidont that the country newspapers intend to attempt to socure some modification of the Postal law relative to tbe froo oxchange of nowspapers. 'The Posl-Ofiico Dopartment is constantly in recoipt of lottors from country publishera, asldng if there is no possiblo con- Btiuction of the law which would pormit tho ex- changos to go fros. Tho uniform roply s, that all froo mail mattor is abolished. The msm:ann- tations are ihat the operations of the law are ruinous to country publishers. CLAWM AGENTS AND THE GENEVA AWARD, Claim agouts here aro advortising throughont the country that they havo exclusive facilitios for secaring to claimonts their share io tho Geneva award, Theso advertisoments are in- tended to deceivo, for the reason that there can bo no provision mado for the distribution of the ;m:nl until Congress legislatos upon the sub- ect. POHTAL-CAR PRECAUTIONS, Thoro have been so mauy depredations upon the mails by gmon« who sro not duly author- izod to travel In railway postal-cars that the Post-Ofiloo Dopartmont has - iseued a stringont order that no porsons oxcopt those connccted with the Department and the train, nocossarily in the porformauce of thair dutios, shall be por- mittad to ramain in the poatal-cars. CAPITOL IMPROVEMENTS, ‘The sonnal immprovoments and repairs of tho Capitol building are now nosrly comploted. Ono of the most important is that of constructing an nir-duct sbout ton feet wide into the fan room, 80 that horenfter the Scnate Chamber can bo always uul)plind with frosh air without any troublo.

DARNUM'S BHOW. Tha vieinity of Madison aud Elizaboth stroots hins been erowded since Mondsy as it waa never crowded before, and it is hardly necessary to stato that the cause of this unususl crowd is Barnum's fmmouse show. Tho ontire block is covered with tents, the monstor one being in the contro, aud surrounding it, adjuncts in the shapo of sido shows, canves stables, dining- rooms, and sl the requirements necessary to conduct an ontorprige so vast and various in its dopartments. No one unncqusinted with the workings of tho show business can form any idea of the magnitudo of this undertaking. In tho first place the multifarious attractions and curiositios, tho wild bossts, from tho florco king of the forest t{o the domestio dog, the birds from ovory climo with' thoir variod plumago, the paintings and statusry, tho trained horsos, camels, goats, and olophants, tho nbnormal humsn specimens, tho artistes, the best in their differont linos, had to be col- locted ond combined in this groat aggregation. Tho world was scoured for things ourfous and raro. The capital invested is $1,500,000. There aro 200 horses of all kinda in tho troupe, and 600 omployes respond to the call of the paymastor on puy-day. Tho show travels by threo special troins, comprising 100 cars, drawn by threo locos motives. Fifty of the cars wore spacially built to accommodate tho troupo. Thirty agents travel in advanco to pave tho way,—to scoure hotel accommodation, railrond and other facil- itios,—nnd tho average daily oxponses smount to £4,500, Thoso atatistics will givo tho publio s i’,’flgm notion of the eize of this mammoth oxhi- fon, Gonorally it is truo _that tho advertisements lieralding the approach of circuses are more olo- quont than oxact, nud tho ropresentatious made oro not often reslized.

In o momont tho ruse was discovered, and the wholo line broke out with the cry of * Chararat | Obararat!” (Sioux), and tho war-whoops of tho mon. Bquaws, children, snd pack-horses wero hurried into tho nesrest ravine, and tho warriors, selziug their best lorsos, gu.llo‘lled towards the approaching enomy, chanting their wild death- song. O camo tho Bioux throwing their blapkots, Iling, sud shooting, and soon tho fight bogan n truo Indinn fashion, oach party in turn dash- ing forward, firing and rotroating. But soon the reatly superior numbers of tho Sioux began to Ba tolt, and tho Pawnees, gradually hemmed in on ol sides, wero forced over the blaffs into the ravine among thoir squawa and childron. * Wo con’t fight them,” shouted tho Chiof—*too many ; throw off the packs, put the squaws on the fioraos, and ran.” ~ Overbosrd wont tho 700 dried buffaloos, which the Government hnd al- Jowod thom to hunt for thelr starving familics on the reserve—starying, because the Govorn- ment s allowed tho Sionx for two succos- give seasons to hunt on the Pawnees' hunting- unds.

About 100 Pawnoos worckilled or captured, mostly squaws. Sovonty- five horfos wore taken or ghot. Your corro- spondont waa surrounded and captu od by Sious, having mistaken them for Pawncos. But tho Chiof, foaring to kill a whito man, pointed moa wax[tu tho river. tor giving tho choso to anmother party of Sioux I again rejoined a band of fiftecn doter- mined Pawneos, who wero covoring tho disas- trous flight of their friends, About twelve miles from the battlo-ficld we camo upona squad of white soldlors under Capt, Moinhold, throo days from McPherson, who kindly offered to return to the flold and romove the woundog, if any wero yot alivo, On our roturn tho fleld prosented a most horriblo sight.

TUE PAWNEES WILL MOURN TILL THE NEW MOON AND TIEN SEER REVENGE. From the Omaha Herald, Aug. 14, Mr, Juliug Meyer roturned yestorday from a visit to the Pawnoes. o speaks tho langunge, has frequontly traded with tho tribe for Indinn curiosities, aud hay mony frionds smong thom. ‘Phoy may frequontly bo seon about his Farnsm uireot wigwam whon they come to town, snd whon ho goes umon(gv thom they return his hos- pitality with intorost. On this visit ho found the tribe camped three miles from their roscrvation, across the Loup. Tha warriors woro painted in black, and signs of thoir grest grief woro overywhors visiblo, Ho talked with their chiofs and with several war- riors, and but one sentiment soomed to ?on'nlln thom all—sorrow for thoir loss in their late on- gagemont with the Bioux, and o dotormination for rovengo. Br, Moyor had an intoroating intorview with one of tho chiofs, whoso Indian namo is Tirra Cawa La Sharro, Ho said the Pawneos had mado up thoir mindy to fight the Sioux, and nobody, not oven the Governmont, should Hto‘: thom. lio gnid that his people mourned mora _becauso tho Bioux had_ killed their wives and children than thoy would if a like number of warriors had Loen glafu ; that the Sioux had only killod twonty-two mon, but that they ecalped women who _woro non-combatants and defeneoless, Ho enid that they mado o groat firo of buffalo whioh they had capturod from tho Pawnoos, and then throw their Ditbles upon it and burned thom alive. Mr. Meyor saw two squaws who had beon scaipod by tho Biowx. Ono was tho wife of 8ky Ohiof, who waa killed. They wore lying on the ground n gront distross, snd 1t wos olioved that thoy will not live more than auothor day. Whilo tho Ohiof was talking, walls of distross could bo hoard in evory part of the camp. Tho Chief gald the Pawneces wero gathering their friouds, and that fl.m{ would mourn togother until tho full moon, then they would go and fight tho Bloux. 1o said that tha Otaos, Winno- bugoos, - Omahna, Poncas, and Yanktonoso woro thoir frlonds, and that altogothor thoy could muster o forco of botwoon 1,600 and 2,000 mon. On his way baok, Mr, Moyor mot fifty Otoo mon going to tho Pawnco camp, 1hey bmuqm with thom a numbor of horaos, which they designed a8 o progsont to tho Pawnoos, o did not count thomi, but thinks thoro wero at least 100. Mr. Willinm, o whito man who liven with the Pawneoy, sud acts as assistant to thoir * farmor, was with them on (ho kunt.
