The Third Auditor has completed asettlcment in favor of two bundred and forty claimants under this act, which has been con- tii: med by the Second Comptroller,and sent to the War Department for requisition and in the course ofa few days the claimants may expect to re- ceive the movey.

Everybody knows the Hmtchinsons. They were the pioneers in the family concerts, whieh soon became and continued for years the leading popular amnsements in this country and Europe; and it is no disparagement to others to say that none that followed atall equaled them in excellence or popularity. The simplicity, beanty and perfect harmony of their music; their wit and genial humor; the high position they have always occupied upon every question of public morals, and their patriotism and sac- rifices for the cause of the country during the war, are huown everywhere. We bespeak for them a crowded house. DiS@OvERY OF ANTHRACITE Coat tN Texas. From Young county, iu Texas, the General Land Office has received numeroug specimens of true coal, including the bituminous and anthracite varieties. The geological recon- noissance of the State in 1859-1361, under Dr. B. F. Shumard, detected their occurrence in the vieinity of Fort Belknap, and assigned them to their true place in the regular coal series. Sub- sequent report on the same subject, by.Dr. Francis Moore, after a superiicial examination, Prououneed the deposit to be Lignite, of tertiary origin. This is evidently a serious geological mistake, tor the associated rocks are sandstones, limestones, conglomerates and shales, such, in fact, as only belong to the true. carboniterous formation. The extent of it in the State of Texas reaches at least to 6,000 syuare miles, and has an estimated thickness of three hundred feet. The caleareous or argillaceous schists Siled with coal plants, and an unmistakable array of fossils belonging to the animal king- dom, leave no doubt as to the true uature of this coal, and which may be traced throngh eor- responding coal formations in Missouri, Iowa, Keatucky and Minois. ‘The existence of anthracite in Texas is a new discovery, but not such a one as to excite doubt. But a short time since ® similar announcement came to us from New Mexico, and is now a well- known and accepted fact. There is no difficulty in believing that wherever beds of coal are in- truced into the trap or baraltic rocks that the beat and other metamorphic agencies accom- panying such rocks will expel the volatile mat- ter from bituminous coals and convert them into hard or authracite coal. Because it has been done in Pennsylvania is no reason why it cannot be done anywhere else, but rather a hint to look for it wherever the same geological con- nections are found existing together. ‘The mod. ern sequence to the discovery of coals is that a railroad shortly penetrates the district; the Mem- phis and El Paso road can obtain abundant sup- plies trom these deposits.

BUTLER’s CapETsHIP.—A Wash- ington correspondent of the New York Trib ine says that the evidence in the Butler cadetship case shows that ‘Gen. Daniel Tyler, a wealthy retired army officer, after making many nnsuc- cessful efforts to get his son a West Point cade!- ship, put the matter, about a year ago, into the hands of an intimate friend, Gen. Schoepfe,an examiner in the Patent Oftice, who engaged Gen. Este, of Washington, to condact the busi n. Scl oepfe at first wrote to Gen. Ty that he thought $1,100 would be sufficient to cure the appointment, but afterwards found a larger sum needful, and Gen. Tyler sent him a check for 82.300,with orders thatho money should be paid until the appointment was put into his hands.” Gen. Este saw Mr. Butler, who agreed to make the appointment, and it was made bod Este took the appointment te ¢ pfe, who paid him the $2,300, keeping no- ng for himself. A day or two afterward Este went to Mr. Butler's room, laid ,000 on the table, and said something about ler desiring to recognize his kindness in appointing his son.” There were two friends of Mr. Butler present at the time. Butler made some objections to taking the money, but his triends ridienled his scruples and saf use itin the campaign in Tennessee. he would not take it they would. Butler finally finally took the money, and borer from it a 3100 bi z he thought Este = his trouble. Este accepted the bill which Increased his protite in the transaction to $1,400, leaving Butier but 3000. Of this money, Butler paid’ #500 to help establish a party paper at Nashville, aul gave the rest to ne: rs in his district, except $20, which he paid for printing tickets.’ Mr. Butler admits the receipt of the money, and bases his detense on the fact that there is no evidence to show that any bargain was made previous to his — the appointment, or that the money paid him was anything more than a present which had no part in influencing his action.” REORGANIZATION OF THE CONSULAR SER- vicg.—In the Senate this morning Mr. Chan- dier, from the Committee on Commerce, report- ed a bill to amend the act to regulate the Diplo- matic and Consular systems of the United States.
