IMPORTANT TO TRAMPS.—The signal office reports frosts frequent as far south as the southern portions of Georgia and Alabama. THE CONDITION OF THE VICE PRESIDENT to-day is favorable to an early and complete restoration of his health. He sat upto day and received quite a number of friends. GENERAL BUTLER is not in St. Louis de- {ending Supervisor McDonald, as has been generally supposed, but is sick at his resi- dence in Massachusetts. CurTInc Down EXPENSES.—The Secre- tary of the Treasury has issued peremptory orders that the force in the custom houses at Baltimore, New York and elsewhere, be re- duced 15 per cent., to take effect December 1.

EDUCATION IN JAPAN.—Dr. David Mar- ray, LL.D., superintendent of educational a‘Tairs in Japan, called upon Commissioner Eaton, of the Burean of Education, to-day. Dr. Murray is officially associated with the Japanese commission (of which Gen. Saigo 38 chief.) which is expected to arrive in this country within five or six weeks. He reports favorably on the progress of education in Japan and believes the exhibit that couatry will make in Philadelphia will be highly creditable. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS COMMISSION Will Probably finish up all the cases that come before them under the restrictions of the law creating the commission soon after the mid- die of January. Their awards will amount to only seven million of dollars, leaving eight million of the money paid by England still io the Treasury.

THE PATENT OFFICE AT THE CENTEN- NIAL.—In response to a request from the Secretary of the Interior for more detailed infermation in regard to the nature and prob- war. hasers shonid bear in mind that | #¥l€ expense of the Patent Office exhibition in the government building at the centennial exposition next year, Mr. Edw'd H. Koight, representing the office referred to, states that the exhibition is being prepared upon a scale of 5.000 models, resenting the various me- chanie arts. and that these will be associated in groups, the models in each group arranged. in asequence which will illustrate the suc- cessive operations upon the raw material and the product in its various stages. Tue classification will probably extend to about thirty groups, the number of models in the respective classes varying between 100 and 500. cor A models have a certain historic value; others are beautiful pieces of ma- ebinery. The whole is expec! to make a collection which shall be a credit to the gov- ernment, the inventors and _ the peopie, who regard the United States Patent Office and the American system as a most distinct- ively American exhibit. The spacerequired, Mr. Knight says, will be 10,000 square feet of floor. The working of the Patent Office will ofthe | also be illustrated by a force of examiners os | and clerks. The whole expease of putting the models in order, boxing, prinsporting, &c., and incidentals not readily foreseen, is estimated at £25,000. ANNUAL REPORT OF GEN. WALKER, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE CENSUS.—Gen. F. A. Walker, superintendent of the ninth has submitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior.

Eilitor Star:— A special dispatch from this city, in yester- day's New York Times, refers to the eight- bour accounts ot Major Mendell, corps ot engineers, and says: “Recently the accounts of Mendel] were reached for examination and final settie- ment by the Second Controller, when it was discovered that these particular vouchers were missing from the files of the Third Anditor’s office.” Where this special correspondent obtained his information in regard to this office, I am unable to say; but the vouchers referred to are not “missing from the files of the Taird Auditor's office,” consequently the assertion is a mistake. Would it not be well for “special” correspondents and others to be sure of their facts before they spread abroad an injurious imputation? A. M. GANGEWER, Acting Auditor. —_ 0 1s THIS THE LONG Lost CHARLEY Ross? Information reached Philadelphia a few days since from Connecticut that a woman had been traveling through several viliages of that state witha little boy resembling strongly the missing Charley Koss. Tae fact was communicated to Mr. Ross, and a pho- tograph asked for. The picture was sent to Thomaston, Conn., where the woman was stopping, and it is said the boy corresponds in features very strongly to those in tne pho- tograph. On Wednesday night Mr. Ross re- ceived a telegram from Thomaston, signed by A. P. Bunnell, stating that the boy is Charley Ross beyond a doubt, but that the Woman could not be arrested withont authority from the Governor. Yesterday morning Mr. Christian Ross telegraphed to Mr. Bunnell, at Thomaston, requesting him to take the woman and child, (the latter sup- psec to be the Jost Charley Ross,) referred © in the telegram received the night before, to Ube telegraph office ia that towa, in order to question them by wire, and to learn from the operators and others the color of the hair and eyes of the child, and what other infor- mation could be obtained. Busell sent back an answer immediately that the woman and the boy were ata house about 4i¢ miles ont of the town, but that heand the sheriff, who had procvred a writ for the Wwoman’s arrest if it were needed to take her into custody, would start for the place and have them brought to the telegra; office as requested. The party paar to be back about 20’clock p.m... but it was not until 6 o’clock that the sheriff telegraphed that. both the woman and child had disappeared and could not be found. IN THE WOMEN’S SUFFRA‘ TION at New York ¥ berpaern Col. Thomas W. Higginson presided. The anunail report of the executive committee, read by Mrs. Lucy Stone, stated that during the year there had been evidence of substantia! ain; tbe opening of Smith and Wellesiey col: leges for women indicated a growing s2nse ui {be need of better education for the sex, The successful working of co-education of CONVES- | the sexes was fast removing all obstacies to | the system, and professional schools even are being thrown open to women. Tne m>ve- ment was a eos steadily in other countries. Addresses advocating woman suffrage were delivered by Mrs. Emma Mal Joy, of Indiana, and Henry W. Blackwell. Resolutions were then presented reattirming the principles of the association and deman |- ing equal rights for women. Mary A. Liver- more was chosen president of the associa- lion, and the association adjourned. POLITICAL NoTFS.—The election in New Jersey was not for state officers, ani it is there! Lapeer ge oe the ty tlio that of the year before. e aggregate voles, however, for a county offe:r ware demo- cratic 8f759; republican, 79,580, which is a @ republican gain of over 11,000 over Bedle’s majority @ year ago. *-**The municipal election at ep recone oe Tenn., has resulted in Mr. Fort, democrat, being chosen mayor over Mr. James, republican, the present in- cumbent. also elect the ay ler! e men. Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Bulletin says it has leaked out that mem- bers of the centennial commission and friends of Gen. Hawley, both in that city and in woskinge are resting in quiet till next year with their centennial candidate for the presidency. It isGen. Joseph Hawley, presi dent of the centennial commission. IN THE NATIONAL GRANGE in session at Lonisville the report of the executive com- mittee was read. The re} says in regard to the business of the different agencies that some are doing a very large business and have in the te millions of dollars, while in other respects they are unsatisfac- tory and fall short of the benefits which ought to be realized. The commission sys- tem of the order is considered false in theory And unjust to the members, and therefore in the minds of the committee another method of selling is deemed necessary. It is pro- posed to abolish the commission system and @ppoint one genera! agent to do business for each state, to be paid @ salary out of ‘the treasury of the grange. Efforts have been made to attract the attention of the eastern capitalists and manufacturers to the un- developed riches of the west, and it is hoped Lr sn definite in that regard will result. THE CASE OF BRIGHAM YouNG, held in custody by Marshal Maxwell for contempt on the order of Judge Boreman, of October 29, coming before Chief Justice White, at Salt Lake City yesterday, on a@ writ of habeas corpus, it was decided by him that the jndgment of Judge Lowe, of May 10, dis- the prisoner from the alleged con- disobedience to the order of Feb- pce age | pay ail covelusive, and that on the adjournment of that term it became beyond the power of the court; therefore that the decision of Ji man committing Brigham Young is void, and that he is wrongfully imprisoned and should be discharged. A CLOSE VoTE IN St. Mary’s County, Mp.—A recount of the ballots cast at the re- cent election in St. Mary’s county, Md., for state senator, the coun’ in of Lynch, St. Mi End of the Spanish Cuban Sensation, A Review of the Controversy. The Spanish-Cuban scare has blown over. It would seem from the avidity of certain newspapers to give as much sensational spice to the question as it would bear under the highest pressure, that the efforts of Mr. Fish to secure the enforcement of the treaty of 1795 between this government and Spain f- und @ ready and boisterous response from tbeCnban'bond “+ »” who are ever solicitous to raise the value of these securities for the so’e benefit of themsel ves—the holders. THE GROUNDS FOR THE WARLIKE RUMORS s0 actively circulated may be briefly summed up as follows: Previous to the in- surrection in Cuba, the Spanish government usually observed faithfully all its treaty compacts with this government. When the trouble on that island supervened, and par- ticularly after expeditions had been fitted out toaid a | Spain disreganied in several instances Tth article of treaty of 1795, which in effect stipulated that “cit- izens and subjects of both parties shall be allowed to employ such advocates, solicitors, notaries, agents, and factors as the: judge proper, in all their affairs an: their trials at law.” The first «is: this section was long previous to the Vir- eat ed troubles. The attention of Spain was invited to its dereliction in this regard, anid assurances were given that there should be no repetition. en came the Virginius troubles and the drum-head court-maitials, the execution of American citizens without trial, and the incarceration of others in Span- ish prisons without having a proper oppor- tunity for defence. THE CONTROVERSY REOPENED. So exasperating had the policy of Spain in this respect, as administered by its officers in Cuba, become that Mr. Fish again opened & correspondence with the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which he insisted that the treaty stipulations of 1795 should be en forced. Not only had the 7th section been violated, but also the 11th, with reference to the search of vessels of either government at sea. When Mr. Cusbing was sent to Madrid instructions on the subject of the en- forcement of the treaty were ampie and pointed. Since bis arrival at the seat of the Spanish government the official correspond - ence between Spain and this goveramert has been voluminous. HOW THE FLURRY JUST ENDED AROSE, Mr. Fish, being anxious to have the mat- ter settled previous to the meeting of Con- gress, sent instractions to Mr. Cashing to push the matter. By some means the tenor of the dispatches ‘was magnified by the Spanish and English newspapers, and as a result the a has just been quieted arose. John Bull talked warlike in his “Thunderer” and other vehicles of informa- tion which reach the public; the Cuban bond ring on this side of the Atlantic caught ap the “war-whoop,” and endeavored to create the impression that_ blood would soon be Spilled; then Don Carlos gave dramatic effect to the situation in a bombastic com- munication to King Alfonso offering a trace to his tp ee, a warfare in order to unite all the forces of Spain in any common effort which might be necessary to resort. to the arbitrament of arms to sustain Castilian honor. END OF THE SENSATION. The excitement originating as above set forth, and kept up by the occurrences men- Uoned, is ended, however, by the recent ai- vices from Minister Cushing, which promise the fulfillment on the part of Spain of aii of the details of the disregaried sections of the 1795 treaty complained of. This informa- Uon, too, is supplemented by advices re- ceived by the minister resident in Spain, who has un Officially advised that his gov- ernment has conceded to American citizens on trial in Cuba the vy eed to select counsel for thar defence; that ip tne opinion of the Spanish government tbe treaty of 1795 was not sufficient to meet such cases in the event of insurrection in the island, but the present arrangement settles the question, and dis- poses of all reported differences between the Jnited States and Spain. THE ACTIVITY AT THE NAVY YARDS. The increase of activity at all the navy yards in the country bas been commented on. Orders were issued for the resumption of Work on naval vessels heretofore suspend- pended. Admirai Rowan at New York was directed by telegraph to immediately Gt out for sea service the frigates Colorado and Min- nesota, the two vessels to be ready for active days. The ton, was also ordered to be rea ty for sea within thirty days, and in addition to these vessels an iron-clad squadron was to be got yeady within the same time, and officers Were assigned to them by telegraph. Added to this is the fact that Secretary Robeson, Capt. Shufeldt, and Mr. Hanscom, naval constructor, hve gone to New York to su- perintend in person the commencement of these operations. Secretary Robeson also issued orders to have every sea-going vessel im the navy got ready for ocean service at the earliest possible moment. At the Charles- town (Mass.) yard the constructor was in- structed to hurry up work on the Adams and Essex. In Washington @ special force of men was taken on to made ready the iron- clad Catskill. Information is also received today by tel that considerable ac- tivity prevails at the Gosport navy yard, (opposite Norfolk, Va.,) orders having been sent there to ten ef fit out the monitors zeae and Montauk With all possible dis- patch. ONLY GETTING READY, THAT WAS ALL. In view of such activity it is ramored that the government. is not satisfied with the action of Spain with reference to the answer received concerning the 1795 treaty. This can be officially contradicted. Both the President and Mr. Fish are entirely satisfied On the subject, and the bustle in naval cir- pon. It is stated,on seemingly good authority, ih Fenseln to be rea iy to go to sea have been countermanded. The vessels made ready for sea two years ago al- ter the capture of the Virginius, have been kept tn good condition, ing them ready for sea has ly cheaply done. The first and most important reason for fitting out these vessels was that ‘ae government might not, in the course of negotiations ding, be brought to the ne- cessity of making demands which it was not prepared to enforce, THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. It is supposed that the President will in his message, review the Cuban insurraction since its incipiency, and hold to the opinion that Spain is not able with her it in- ternec! struggle at home with the Carlists on its hands, to putdown the insurgents,that be will recommend any change of icy on the part of the United States is doubtful. ———— 7 —— ————— 2 & no Star, TWO CENTS. THE WHISKY RING FRAUDS. The Trial of MeDonald. The McDonald trial is still in progress in St. Louts. first Witness vesterday was B. H. Engelke, rectifier, who testified to hay ing talked with Joyce at various times since Isi1. Witness was told by bim he could par- chase crooked whisky And would be pro tected in so doing; in fact, was urged to do 80, and several times Was asket by Joyce if be was getting all he could handle. Was always noti in advance of AGENTS COMING PROM WASHINGTON or elsewhere to investigate, and was ordered to “straighten up,” “get the house tn order,” “be prepar receive company,” &c. Avery used to send the ring information of any movement looked daagerons. Joyce on one occasion said to witness, “My friend Babcock writes me there is hell to Pay; Fe are in & scrape and mast get out of 1.” Witness paid his share of the various assessments made for the benefit of Hogue and other parties. When we were told to raise money there was little satisfaction given us. We were told to do it, and it bat+ to be dove.

In fact, the same charges were made against the firm in 182, and examined by Collector Ford and Mr. Patrick, who found nothing to jastify action. Subsequently Revenue Agents Gavitt, Brasher ail Yarian madea thorough examination of the establishment of the firm, and while they found a violation of law in the manner of keeping book form 52, no further evidence of frand was discovered.
