Similar notices have also been issued for the purpose of filling one vacancy in class four, one in class three, and one in class two, in the office of the Commissioner of Cus- toms; also, to fill vacancies—one in class four and one in class two—in the office of the Fourth Auditor. Ten DOLLAR Norzs or Taz New Issve.— Secretary Richardson, after a careful examina- tion of a collection of counterfeit bank-notes, has arrived at the conclasion that the note most extensively counterfeited isof the denomina ion of ten dollars, He has, therefore, ordered new plates to be gotten ready, and this will be the only issue made of the new series until after the meeting of Congress. It is expected that the new notes will be ready for circulation about the middle of August or Ist of Septem- ber. Banks taking the not-s of the new issue do so at their own expense, but notes of other denominations will as heretofore, without cost, upon application to the controller of thecurrency. The plates for the backs of these new ten-dollar notes were received trom New York at the Treasury department yester- day afternoon, but, not being in accordance with the specifications, weré returned for alter- ation. The department expect they will be back here in time to commence printing opera- tions next week. Mr. SUMNER ON Mixep Scuoots.—Several colored citizens of Washington addressed Sen- ator Sumner a letter congratulating him on the recovery of his health, and expressing the hope that he will be able to resume his labors in the Senate, where, they say, he has so long and faithfully contended for the equal rights of men. ‘They also mention that they are now agitati e = of @ common school s; tem in this feelfn, confident that this is the only true way in whicl be educated, without prejudice mination on account of race, color, or nationality.

To the Editor of the Evening Star, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir-—Your issue of the 25th notes our firm as being creditors of H. I. Kimball, bank. Tupt, to the extentof one million dollars. We beg to correct this statement in regard to us, the fact being that the estate of Kimball is in- debted to us only $100,000, against which we hold ample security. We have received also in the past commistionson the account largely in excess of balance stilldue. The failure of this firm took place two years ago. Very truly, Henry Crews & Co. The € 1 Vogt Case, ‘The statements telegraphed hence concern- ing the action of the President in the Carl Vogt case, and the report of an extradition treaty with Belgium to meet the contingency, by making it retroactive seem to be entirely spec- lative. Attorney General Williams says the latter action could not avail, as an jextradition treaty requires the ratification of & two-third vote of the Senate. The case is simply an Ex- ecutive and not a judicial one. Vogt was com- mitted on a magistrates warrant in the name of the President of the United States, and to the Chief Executive officer and not @ court be- longs the duty of disposing of him. While Judge Biatchford’s decision is at vAriance with the opinion of the Attorney General, it under these circumstances can only be viewed in the light of a judicial exposition of law. Inasmuch, however, as the case has assumed a shape with: out the judicial tribunal, and arises as one of executive interferences it is believed that the opinion of Attorney General Williams will be regarded and Vogt released. KUKLUX Prisongrs Parponep.—The Pres- ident has sent back from Long Branch orders that pardons shall issue to Felix Dover, Stephen Sparon, Evans Murphy and Wm. Scruggs, who were convicted in North and South Carolina under the kuklux act, and recommended to the executive clemency by the Attorney General. The papers in the case were sent to the State department yesterday afternoon, and the par- dons will be at once made out.

The Judge dyocate General recommen that Congress he called on to extend the powers of courts- martial for the purpose of affording some m+ ure of protection to Indians subjected to the violence of government employes in hostile communities. Imvortant Decrsr PS t a N RELATIVE TO Dror LeTrers—A question recently arising at the city Post Office as to whether a local or drop letter, prepaid with a two cent stamp, co: be forwarded without additional postage to tl person to whom it was addressed in case he should be temporarily absent at any point outside of the District of Columbia, Judge Edmunds took the view that such letter could not be torwarded without an additional (three cent) stamp; that the moment the drop letter was placed in the local office, the stamp canceled and the letter taken to the residence of the person addressed im this city, the Post Oitice department had done its whole duty; and that the celed stamp, having performed its function, was of no further value. He referred the matter, how- ever, to the Postmaster General, who, in turn, referred it to vodge Spence, assistant Attorney General, of the Post Office department. The latter to-day submitted an opinion, substan- tially affirming the decision of Judge Edmunds in the case. IMPORTANT PaTEeNT -—Fourteen years ago Marcus P. Norton received a patent for a combined postmarking stamp and canceller, intended for the use of postmasters. This stamp, which has been in use by the postmas- ters of all the larger offices ever since its in- vention, imprints the name of the office in which the letter is deposited upon the envelope on the left side of the appr ad stamp, and at the same time cancels the latter. A few years since the House of Representatives passed a bill giving Norton $200,000, bat the Senate committee to which it was referred refused to give so large a sum, but were willing to report in favor of $50,000. This amount Norton re- fused to receive, and subsequently Congress authorized the Postmaster General to fix the compensation for the use of the stamp, but that officer was enjoined from paying any money to Norton on the ground that he had assigned his right in the invention to other parties. As the patent expires in about eight days, Norton has made application for an extension, and the case was argued before the board of appeals of the Patent Office this afternoon. Decision re- served. Gov. Davis vs. Postmaster CLanke— SeRrous CHARGES AGAINST THE LaTTrEeR.— Gov. Davis, of Texas, has just arrived in the city trom Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, where he went to negotiate Texas bonds, and is stopping at the Ebbitt House. It is understood that bis mission was not altogether successful. He was at the Post Office department for some time to-day, and had a long interview with ing Postmaster General Marshall. It is une stood that he still intends to make war to the knife against Senator Flanagan and General Clarke, postmaster at Galveston, and that he charges both of these gentlemen with selling federal patronage in Texas for money. It is further understood that he has lodged formal charges of this character against Clarke at the ‘Treasury department, and that the latter will be called upon to meet them, Cen. Clarke has been in the city for several weeks in consnitation with the Post Office authorities in reference to the affairs of the -Galyeston it office. It seems that he had the office refitted at an ag- gregate expense of some 85,000 or $6,000, and that he now calls ig oe the department to foot the bill. This the Postmaster General has thus far refused to do,on the ground that the ex- | agape by Clarke were wholly unauthorized y the supervising architect of the Treasury, under whose direction they should have been made. Should the serious char, ainst Clarke be sustained by proof, he will doubtless lose his office; but he asserts their falsity and his desire for a full investigation. ————_~eo A Coot BuRGLAR axD A ScruPULovS SHERIPY.—A few days siuce, says the Hudson Register, Sheriff Rowe, of Miilertown, had an- der his fatherly protection the man who burglarious): Spore the — of = in village, wason way | — i ee for such ep Feta en the in on the ie road had backed over the Sone get on their own road, Mr. Burglar very coolly the sheriff an Sveryininp in his poten or indece him to ride very’ in juce ack into York late with Mae ban a Soi tk GREENBRIER Waite Sctrare sae”?

The White Sulphur Springs are situated in Greenbrier county, West Virginia, upon the western slope of the great Apalachian chain of mountains, in a beautiful valley, sur- rounded by portions of a spur of the Alleghany mountains, about thirteen hours’ ride from Washington via the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- road. Since the completion of this road, which now brings you to the springs, the inconve- nience of having twenty-five ‘or thirty miles stage travel is avoided. The thermometer ranges here during the summer between 6) and 70°, and rarely attains a greater height than 5° during any portion of the day.

Titus, who presented a pistol at her head, threatening instant death if she made a noise. He then outraged her, and being drunk soon fell a. in her bed. Mrs. Fitzpatrick slipped from the house and went to a neigh bor’s and told what had occurred. Mr. Thomp- son, her neighbor, accompanied by his two sons, proceeded to the house and found Titus still asleep. He was secured, and next morn- ing, after a preliminary examination, was granted a mittimus to the Nashville jail.’ The penalty for his crime is hanging or imprison- ment, at the discretion of the jury. Mr. Jonn M. HirPie, who was lately elected Senator from Oregon under the assumed name of John H.

In his aj pplication to an Oregon court for a legal name he asks to b» called simply John H. Mitchell, which will stand either for John Hipple or John Hiram, or both.

That while he altered the charges at the custom-honse he made proper entries in the books of the firm, and that when a sufficient umber of these alterations had taken place to warrant a good case against the firm he yolan- tarily retired trom their employ, having pre- viously oe ape with the o officers to get one-fourth of the amount recovered from the firm by compromise or conviction. ‘TWAS ALWAYS THUS—IN NEW YORK. A report is circulated that Wm. M. Tweed has escaped a new indictment through a stupid blunder or desi, of some official. Andrew J. Garvey testified before the grand jury that he collected a fraudulent bill {rom the city for £126,707, and that he collected a bill through Ingersoll, to whom he gave on the same day his check for $95,000. On this and other testi- mony concerning the parties implicated the grand jury ordered an indictment against weed, Ingersoll, and Wm. C. King, Tweed’s private secretary, but when the bill of indict- ment was returned for the signature of the former the name of Tweed was found omitted, and the mistake, if such it was, was not recti- fied. Ingersoll and King having fled, the new indictment is worthless. PRATRICIDR. James and Alexander Burrill, brothers, quar- relled in their house in Newark last ‘night when Alexander stabbed James inthe breast with an old shoe knife killing him almost in- stantly. Alexander who was a little intoxicated fled but afterwards surrendered himself to the police. Nobody witnessed the fight but the aged mother of the Birrills.

A TRST case. Bactrmorg, July 30.—A short time since the United States district court of Maryland, in a case before it, decided that canal boats engaged in the transportation of coal, &c., between this port and Philadelptia, were not’ such vessels, within acts of Congress, as required them to be enrolled and licensed and to pay tonnage dues.

There is no bar in the house, and the drink is not obtra- sively displayed; but it is always there for those who want it.

It seems to be at~ tributable, however, to intoxication. Great ex- citement prevails. Tobrey immediately afver the assault tied, but will doubtless be appre- hended by the persons now in pursuit, among whom are several of the sons of the victim.
