Proposals for one year's supply (6,000,000) of these envelopes will be opencd on the 2th inst. THE DISMISSAL of Col. Whitly, chief of the secret service division of the Treasury depart- ment, and his assistant, Nettleship, has been decided upon by the Secretary of the Treasury, who is now looking about for a successor to the former. The Secretary has been delaying his action in the matter of these removals until the subject of the Harrington safe burglary is taken up by the grand jury. The secret service sys- tem will be reorganized. THERE WAS SOME UNEASINESS at tha Navy department yesterday for the safety of the United States sseamer Lancaster, flagship of the South Atlantic station, until the dispatch was received by the associated press (printed in yesterday's STaR,) aunounoing the presence ot that vegsel at Kio.

Revter Por GRasssorPeR SeTrLers.—The Commissioner of the General Lind Office has directed that the regulations respecting final = of homestead settlement in the grass. opper region of Iowa and Minnesota, be so modified as to permit settlers to go before the clerk of their county court to make their depo- sitions instead of before the local land officers. This order is made on the representation of re- lable parties, that many settiers remote from a jocal land office can ill afford the expense of a long journey, especially in their present impov- erished condition. CANDIDATES FoR CalR¥ OF TI Sucrer Szgvice.—There are several applications for the position of Chiet of Secret Service, in place of Col. Whitly, in case the Secretary of the ‘Treasury shall determine to remove the latter Officer. ‘They are chiefly more or less prominently connected with the detective and [espe force of the country. North Carolina one candidate; Mr. S.

CONDITION OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT SOHOOL BUILDINGS. Mr. T. M. Plowman, inspector of buildings, bas submitted a report on the condition of the school buildings in the fourth school district. Of the Jefferson building he says “it is gen- erally in good condition and well arranged tor comfort of children. The sewerage ana water closets are defective; the laterals insufficient for the large body of water emptying, as it docs, Gown the large spouts and from the area of the playground. In seasons of beavy storms a com- plete overflow of the basement and furnace pits occur, rendering them useless for the time, and destroying the turniture and effects of the | orgie resides in the basement. This should immediately remedied by a change of the water course to the rear, where isa large euwer. The boilers require overhauling and new fire brick to render them fit for use, as well as to protect the metal. Many window glass are broken in the basement; window screens should be put on the outside for protection of the giass; the sash throughout the building should be adjusted by setting up the sash beads to prevent rattling and the passage of dust in summer and cold air in winter. The water-closets are eptirely untit for use.” Ot the G s'reet school house for male children he says: “It consists of a one-story trame buildiog without any accommodations for the teachers and littie or none for 70 children. Tie privy accommodations are simply a box with two teats ina very dilapidated condition. He recommends that the owner, from whom it is rented, be required to construct at once @ suitable number of water-closets with sewer connections, and to thoroughly whitewash the building.’ Of the Greeleaf building he states, ‘it is badly in want of paint and whitewash. Tnere are bo water-closet accommodations m the boys’ department worthy of the name. Those in the giris’ departinent need repairing and the pumber increased.” He recommends thorough repairs before the schools are reopened. Of the Potomac building, on 12th street, he says ‘the condition is about the same as that of the Greenleaf, and the same character of im- provements are recommended, with the addi- tion of a retaining wail seven or eight feet high to protect from the embankment on the front and alley.” StamreD Exverorgs, &c¢ —All of the Bids Rejected.—Atter @ careful consideration of the bids recently opened for furnishing the Post Office department with stamped envelopes and “ewspaper wrappers, Postmaster General Mar- rhali bas decided to reject all bids, and advertise for new proposals to be opened on the 1sth of September next. Morgan & ger rp or Springtield, Mass., were the lowest bidders for the contract, but on an examination of their bids it was discovered that the prices named therein were irregular to such an extent that the acceptance of their proposals would greatly embarrass the department and prevent tt from supplying the public at proportionate prices the various grades of stamped envelopes here- tofore and now in use. It further appeared that according to the proposalof this company stamped envelopes of all the classes and grades called for may be obtained at prices lower than those named in the proposals of either of the other two bidders. MASSACRE OF Five INDIAN CapTives.— Friend Enoch Hoag, of the Central Indian su- perintendency, headquarters, Lawrence, Kan- sas, sends to the Commissioner of Indian Afiairs ® slip from a@ late number of the Lawrence Journal, containing an account of the killing of five Osage Indians. Friend Hoag says it appears that the said Indians were peaceable, and re- varned to their old reservation, not yet paid for, to procure meat necessary for their families, who were with them, and that the Indians killed were captives, and disarmed. If the Osages had five citizen captives, disarmed, and should kill them, it would not be regarded as too much to denounce them as murderers. Agent Gibson has been very industrious in Keeping his Indians in, that they might avoid the soldiers and militia, but they bave felt cofidence in being safe on a short huut. These Indians were assured by the commiss!on. ers who closed the bargain fur the purchase of their lands that no postponement of payment should be allowed or granted to purchasers (which has been done) occupying the lands sold to the government in 1865, wherein £300,000 was te be credited and the interest paid semi- annually. Payment has, howover, been made to accommodate settlers. It is probable that these Indian hunters, og ow 3 these same Osage lands, are owing the Irdians for their homes, with payments postponed in vielation of the conditions of sale. Bap AcCcouNTSs FROM THE SOUTHERN Starzs,—The Attorney General is daily re- ceiving communications showing that there is ad effort in some portions of the south- ern states to inaugurate @ war of races. Among others to the same effect he received to-day a communication from a military officer stating “that the conduct of three persons who were returning from @ politicai meeting was marked by acts or lawlessness and crime which have struck terror in the residents of a portion of the ih.

We have just reached this tittle old town on the Canadian side of St. Clair river, and I hasten to send you # brief report of our cruise, since the date of my last letter from Mar uette. i was iy surprised at the neat and comfortable appearance of Marquette and the “ Watering-place” air it presenta: The *North- western” Hotel, on the lake shore, is beautifully located, with handsome waiks around and foun- tains in front of the main building. There were 80 guests in this hotel, drawn from all parts of the country. The several other hotels were also full, ehowing that Marquette is quite a summer Tesort as well as a for the vast mining country lying ten or fifteen miles interior. While t! ichigan remained at this port she was thronged with visitors, among them Co: gressman Sawyer and the Mayor of the city who is also the editor and ees of th Journai—all the visitors ex at seeing and being on S . An invitation was trom the agent of the mining com- panies to visit the mines, and next morning our party lett in a Pullman palace car under charge of @ superintendent for Escanaba—where we made a tour throngh the several different mines—returning to Marquette late in the alter- noon. TRE FISHING AROUND MARQUETTE bas been asource of rare sport. It is by trolling with spoons for lake trout; and in @ few hours’ fishing we killed thirty-five trout, ranging from four to six and @ half pounds in weight. They are very game, and gave us all we could do to et them into our Many that were ooked succeeded in effecting a deliverance by their pluck. Yet our mess has been abundantly supplied with these delicious fish. Leaving Marquette at 5 p. m. on the 12th, we reached Sault St. Mary at 9 a. m. yesterday morning, and had another =.

LORD DUFFERIN had just arrived here from a cruise around the Canadian ehore of Lake Superior in hissteamer, Chicora, and leftthe Sault Just as we did for Mackinaw and Chicago. A'salute of seventeen guns was fired, his lordship expressing great re- gret at not being able tocomeaboard.

The Brook Scandal MOULTON’S STATEMENT FORTHCOMING. “Mr. Moulton has arrived in New York, and told a reporter that he had lett untinished some important mercantile business in New England, and bad come home on purpose to take from its hiding place and Isy before the public the ori- ginal etatement which he prepared for the com- mittee of investigation. All the world now knows,” said Moulton, “that my honor has been impugned, and bya man who impngns his own in so doing; and I shall publish my statement in full, exactly as it was written at first. It is already in a printer’s hands.” Mr Moulton, on eing pressed to tell who that pria- ter was, and why he did not give it to a uews- paper office, replied ‘that he wished the docu- ment to be correctly printed and the proots to be carefully read, and that there should be no possible discrepancy between the originals and the transcript. All this would take a little time.” He said “his printer had promised him that everything should be ready in time for the statement to appear in the morning and even- ing journals of Satarday next.” THE BLACKMAIL CHARGES. A member ot the committee told a Tribune reporter yesterday that Mr. Moulton would tind it imposible to explain away or make light of the charges of bi ail which have been brought bome to him. Before Mr. Beecher made these charges in the presence of the com- mittee bis advisers bad looked into the case carefully, and learned what they bad to rely upon. It’ was learned that the books of Mr Moulton’s firm (Woodruff! & Kobinson) showed monetary transaction of Mr. Moulton, bearing out Mr. Beecher’s charges, 4 the firm did not deny the fact. The speaker's theory of the m ter was that Mr. Moulton had let Mr. Til- ton have money from time to time, and con- cluded to try to repay himself by getting money from Mr. Beecher, and when he obtained $ and other sums he turned the money over to his own account. NOTICE OF TILTON’S suIT. Tilton’s lawyers sent a communication to Mr. Beecher last Monday, saying: “We have been retained by Theodore Tilton to commence suit against you. Will you please indicate the at- torney who is authorized to appear in your be- half,so that we may serve the papers upon him. (Signed) ORRIS & PEARSALL.” Shearman & Sterling, attorneys of record for Mr. Beec! yesterday morning made the fol- lowing rep! ‘Understanding that you con- template the commencement of an action at law on behalf of Theodore Tilton against Kev. Henry Ward Beecher, we beg to inform you that we are authorized to appear for Mr. Beech- erinall legal proceedings, and we request in bis name immediate service of the papers upon ue.” Mr. Beecher’s friends and members of the committee make light of the talk of Mr. Tu- ton’s suit against Mr. Beecher, which they do not expect will be carried on, as they say Mr. Tilton has no evidence of consequence which will be admitted ina court. Both Mr. Tilton and his counsel were strictly reticent about their intentions and opinions yesterday. Mr. Tilton simply said that he bad en; d another lawyer to aselet in his suit. This lawyer is un- derstood to be Gen. Koger A. Pryor. PLYMOUTH CBHURCH APFAIBS. Mr. Beecher left yesterday for the White Mountains. Assistant Pastor Hallidsy within the past few days has visited most of the mem- bers of Mr. Beecher’s congregation, and not- withstanding re rts to the col some of them signified their intention of withdrawing from membership with Plymouth church, bu! str engl assured Mr. Halliday they would stand by this church and its paster, ex; belief in bis entire innocence. ‘THE TROUBLES in GrorGzTows, S.

The Jersey A SAD STORY OF ILLICIT LovE. The excitement in reference to the death of Miss Mary Pomeroy, in Jersey City, has not abated. Herante- mortem deposition gains unt- versal credence, and the seducer is bitterly de- nounced in all quarters. Mrs. Miller, the girl's sunt, and the leas with whom she lived, eays thet shortly before her death Miss Pomeroy confided to her aud her husband the following statement: EXONBRATION AT THE POINT OF A PISTOL “One night after I found I was in tr and after the matter had been talked o the Rey. Mr. Glendenning and m: assured me that everything wou! right, meaning, as I sup , that he would marry me, Mr. Glendeuning came into the par- lor. ‘I was seated by the door. He approached the table, and after a few pleasant words had been pasted between us, he said, ‘ Mary, have you pen and ink? 1 want you to write so thing for me. You know wiiat a scrape I am t you to shield me. If this thing goes out lam aruined man. Then he began to dic- tate something for me to write, and 1 refused to do it, because it was falre. He then drew a re volver from bis pocket and told me I must write it. 1 was very much frightened. and all seemed dark and blank tome. 1 wrote whatever he told me, but what it was I cannot tell, except that it was sometbing to shield him and set him right before the public and church. I signed my Lane to the paper, and itis now in his setrion.” The psper alluded to is supposed to be the evidence upon which Glendenniug mainly relied fer bis defense. Mrs. Miller also says that be was in the habit of calling three or four times a week snd rematning until the smal! hours of the morning. Upon leaving he was in the habit of kissing Mary and calling her his littie wife. ; MISS POMEROY'S DYING STATENENT. The New York Timesia an account ot the th bed scene describes the visit of Justice Aldredge to the house to take the dying girl's depositi H and prints the following statement as from the dying giris’s lips: ‘I feel as thoug’ have sot long to live. There have been & gr many things said against me, but I now tell the truth in the sight of God, that John S. Clen- denning isthe father of my chiid. He has dented ft, and still denies it, but be and no one else is the father of that child. He has said things againet me. I was afraid of him, bat now I am not. He may have papers, but that Goes not clear him.” The statement was made in a weak, but clear voice. and during the pauses the girl's lips seemed to be moving as if im prayer. The Judge took the paper and started for his office to make a copy of it in ink for the purpose of bringing it back for the girl's signature. When he had completed the work and returned tothe house, in less than half an hour, Miss Pomeroy was dead. She breathed ber last at precisely 11:25 o'clock. The im- mediate cause of her death was congestion of the lunge, superinduced by general debility, arising principally from mental depression. It is uncertain what legal aspect the death of the victim will put upon the case with reference to Rev. Mr. Clendenning. Of cours» the charge 0° breach of promise and seduction will fall through, but it is probable that the Poormaster of the city will continue the su't against him for the support of the child. The usual course in such cases is for the complainant to make sfidavit that she expects to have a child born, which isiliable to become # charge upon the city unless the father is made to support it. This course was pursued by Miss Pomeroy some weeks ago, and then the Poormaster entered suit against the suj father to compel him to give bonds for the support of the expected oftspring.
