Wy- man, the fg Treasurer, has just been com- leted. The amount of held by the ‘reasurer to secure bank circulation and deposits was found to be precisely the amount called for by the books, 8355,972,150. The amount of mouey on hand was found to $45,702 391,22, which was within less than $5 of the amount called for, the di ancy arising from trifitog errors in making se. The count was made under the direction of tary, by Mr. J. K. Upton, of his office, and Mr. 8. E.

General Custer Attacks the Enem: Before tne Arrival of Retmforce- Gen. Sheridaa, who ts In Philadelphia, re- ceived @ telegram from Gea. H. Terry yesterday, dated “Camp on Yellowstone, near roouth of Big Horn, July 2,” saying that bis plan was that Custer, with bis white re- giment, should move up the Rosebud till he should meet a trail that Reno had discovered @ few days before, but that he should not fol- low Itdirect to the Little Big Hora: that he should send scouts over it, and keep the matin force further to the routh, so as to pre- vent the Indians from slipping in be himself and the mountains. He was also to examine the head water of Talloska creek as he passed it and send word to Terry of what be found there. Gen. T. esiculatei it woald take Gibbon's column until the 26th to reach the mouth of the Little Big Horn, and that Wide sweep which he had pro} Custer should make wonld uire £0 much tine that Gibbon would be able to co-operate with bim i attacking the Indians that might ve found on that stream. Heasked Custer how jong his march would be. He said they Would be at first about 30 miles a day. Measurements were made, and calculations based on that rate of progress. Gen. T. talk- ed with him about bis strength, and at one time suggested that perhaps it would be well for htm (Gen. T.) to t@ ke Gibbon’s cavairy and go with him. To this suggestion he rs plied, that without reference to the ena- mand he would prefer his own regiment. GEN. CUSTER REFUSES A BATTERY. He offered Custer the battery of gatling guns, but he declined by saying that Itmight embarrass him; that he was strong enou<h without it. was up, Gen. Terry he cannot doubt that the expedition would have been success- ful. The Indiaaos had evidently nerved them- selves forastand. On the 22d, marched 12 miles; on the 231, 25 miles from 5 @. m. till 8 p.m.; on the 2ith, 45 miles, and then after night 10 miles farth resting without unsaddling, 23 battle field. The proj ronte was not taken, but as soon as the trall was struck it was foll On the same day Gen. Terry sent another dispatch to Gen. Sheridan stating that ‘ne wounded had been placed on the steamer at Little Big Horn, and were taken down to tie depot on the Yellowstone, and that subse- quently they were to be sent to Fort Line pia. MOURNING FOR GENERAL CUSTER. a ro from Monroe, Michigan, the beme of General Custer, says the startling news of the massacre of the general and his party by the Indians created the most in- tense feeling of sorrow among classes. General Custer passed several of his youth at school in Monroe, and his parents bave resided there many years. Tne town is draped in mourning, and a meeting of the common council and citizens was held to take measures for an appropriate tribute to the gallant dead. LIST OF CASUALTIES. A telegram from General Ruggles at St. Paul to Captain Green Hale, commanding the cavalry at the arsenal in St. Louis. gives the following as the names of the officers killed in the fight between the Sioux aad Generai Custer’s command: General Custer, Colonel Custer, Colonel Keach, Colonel Yates, Colonel Cook, Lieutenants Smith, McIntosh, Caihoun, Hodgson, Rellly, Fos: pede Sturges. Lieutenant Harrington is missing. The citizens at Salt Lake City are excited over the Custer massacre. Several partics have made &n offer to the Secretary of War to raise a regiment of frontiersmen in tsn days for Indian service. GEN. SHERIDAN DUBIOUS. A reporter of the Philadelphia Bulletin Tetons morning had an interview with jeutenant General Phil. Sheridan at the Continental, concerning the reported C.is- ter disaster. The General sald: Tne oly thing that makes me doubt the trath of tue report is that too many are announced as slaughtered. I hardly see how it can he s9, and hope it is not, although General Custer intended to march about as described. Tue reports of the disaster make it look as though it might be true, especially so far as the description of the probable movements of the troops is concerned, though I still have hopes that it isnottrae. It is about two hundred and fifty miles from Eliis to the mouth of the Big Horn, and any courier coming into Eliis ought to bring official ¢ aiches. Not only that, but the telegraph ine in Montana ts repaired and ought to ne in working order, and dispatches ought to be received by that source. NAVAL ORDERS.—Lieut. F. H.

Mr. Ingails offered a resolution, which was pee ope calling on the Presideut for infor mation whether the Slonx Indians made acy hostile demonetrations prior to the invasion of the Black Hills, and whether the reported massacre of Gen. Custer be true. Mr. Hitchcock asked the present consider ation of the bill to provide for the sale of tue Fort Kearney reservation, in Nebraska, aad it _was taken up and . Mr. Morrill (Me.), from the Committee of Conference on the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial bill reported that the commi':- tee had been unable to agree. He had read the proposition of the conferees of the Sen- ee in the House by Mr. Randall yesterday and printed in the Record. Mr. Morrill said the Committee on Appropria- tions would bear nim out in the assertion t there had been by members of both parties, in committee and in the Senate, the Strongest desire to yield to every just de mand of the House. “He reviewed the actioa of the two Houses on the bill and characte:- ized the demand of the House that the Sen. Ate should consent to objectionable legi: ton to pass the appropriation bills, a usurpation of the legislative functions of the ate. It was @ demand the Senate could not yleld to. To yield was to surren- der; to abdicate, and tosay that the Senate was no longer a co-ordinate branch of the ee. When one House sets up this loctrine that the other must legislateagaiust its will, it becomes revolutionary. tt was revolution, for in this country revolution was a resistance of the law. He argued that in consenting to accept the reduced ap ropriations the Senate had undouwdt- gone as far as it could go and maintain its own independence as a co-or.ft- nate body. He recited the efforts that had been made to meet the Honse in the matter of a reduction of salaries, and claimed that the proposition of the Senate for a commis- sion was @ jast and fairone. In regard to the reduction of force, they had met the House half-way, believing it better to crip- ple than to ruin the service. In the matter of checks he said the difference on tire whoie ‘was less than #150,000, and on the prop :3i- Uon of the s@ conferees was less than $100,000. The raid on the departments was too insignificant for the consideration of statesmanship. This was the outgrowth of the determination of a committee to ar- Togate to itself every branch of legislation. In this bill the subject became alarmig, and the Senate had a duty to perform or be blotted out Lerma Look at it! The army appropriation bill proposed a total re- organization of the army, a task go deliciie and so complicated that it would take months for those most skillful and best ac- b ygemcr with the service to perform. Th -n the navy had been partially reorganiz>; the Indian bureau was proposed to be totally abolished, and the enforcement acts ani election laws were to be repealed in an Rp- Propriation bill. Then again, the House had entirely abolished the Indian bureau; aid again @ total reorganization of our foreign representation. When the compensation ws fixed in 1356, when money was worth mtou more than now, and when, as every ove knew, were lesy than paid by every other sovermment tn the world. Te asserted that S50 faras he knew this was the first attem ot to force new legislation in au appropriation bill. There bad been cases; 1t was comm on for one House to engrafi legislation on ao appropriation bill, but it implied the eo sent of the other, and in case of dissent ie proposing House hai always yleided tue [ogee They were not, he said, discussi @ question of the salaries of foarta-c clerks, but the general power undertake: require the Senate to take the appropria tions with such legislation as the House saw fit to put upon the b Mr. Paddock offered a joint resolution au thorizing the President to accept volunteers for the Sioux war, from Nebraska and tie adjoining territories, not exceeding three regiments of cavalry or infantry,or bo'h. and for @ period not exceeding nine montis from the date of their mustering into te service of the United States. He asked ‘ie present consideration of the resolution, hat objection was made and it went over uaver the rule. The hour of 12 o’clock having arrived the Senate met as @ court for the impeachment trial, but on motion of Mr. Edmunds to allow Mr. Morrill to conciude his remarks, the court took a recess until farther orders, of which the House would be notified. The Senate then continued its legislative — Mr. Morrill concluded his re- marks. Mr. Morrill went on to show tha House bad reduced the appropriations for the current year $39,000,000, aud the Senate bad made a reduction of $22,000,000. Anim- pression had gone out that the Senate was obstructing reductions. He thought tse Senators would be gre when they derstood how little and what the differe: was. There were $4,000,000 deficiencies for the preceding year that had no right to »s charged to last year’s expenditures. Then there were reappropriations of some tive the millions, which were not actual expenses of last and should have been covered tuto the jury and reappropriated. These two items made nine millions, bringing the two houses within eight millions of ove another. This eight millions differe ice were readily [on patent in order to mike this apparent reduction the House had avol- ished the Indian bureau and reduced the army, and reduced the civil service appro: Priation from 29 million to 15 million, and the Senate had made it but 19 million.” The reduction could be easily made, if made without an intelligent regard for the neves- sities of the service. The House had strack out entirely the appropriation for navy a. for Which the annual appropriation ad @miilion to amilifon and a haif. Fortifications bad been omitted and the Senate had consented to this, because it was discretionary on the House whether they would do it. No appropriation had been made to pay the judgment of the Court of Claims. Tne court bad been created, and claimants invited to prosecate their claims, but no provision was made for the payment of jadgments when rendered. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.— The regular order haying been demanded, the House took up the bill to grant @ pen- sion to Daniel Cleary, @ soldier of the Mexi- can war, the proposition being to date the pension back three years, and this was re- sisted as being contrary to precedent, and the bill was finally amended to take effect from ume of e. and in that form it pas-ed.

Up to yes- lerday but one more body had been found, which is that ofa girl named Minnie Baner, and the discovery of which tends to confirm the fears entertained yesterday thata greater number are missing than reported. Thirty- three bodies have been recovered. Funeral services were held on the banks of the stream over the bodies of such of the dead as bave surviving friends, buta great number of the bodies of those who were swept out of existence by the storm wiil have to be buried by the county authorities. It 1s thought that some of tne missing bodies may have been Swept Into the Mississippi, and will not be recovered.

WALT WHITMAN'S new book,«The Two Rivulets,” receives a careful review in Tne London Academy. The following is the con- cluding portion: “The ethical purpose of the book~ and it is needless to say that it has one—manifestly is to exemplify ina very tragical passage of real life the sibility of carrying out that —- of sane and self sacrificing love of comrutes for one an- other which Whitman has so often cele- brated in his elevated and mystical utter ances. Itis the old story of Achilles and Patrocijus transferred from windy Troy to the banks of the Potomac. [t is conceivable that when ail of Whitman’s theories about verse and democracy and religion have been re- jected or have become effets, this one infla- ence may be still at work, a permanent be- quest of widened emotion to all future geu- erations.” CAPTURE OF CUBANS BY SPANTARDS.— Some detalls were recelved in this office yes- terday from Jamaica touching the recent capture of Cubans by Spaniards. It appears that an open boat left Jamaica about the 12th ultimo for Cuba, ce: ing dispatches from the Cabans for the headquarters of the berating army. The boat landed on the lith of June, on the Cuban coast, between Sevilla and Tarquina. Shortly after landing the ee was taken by Spanish troops. Among em were Enrique Canales, Domingo Diaz, Santos Benitez and others, making in ali ten souls, Nearly ali the captured men had been in the Virginius and Uruguay expei-. tions.

In the nese the a ee the attack, making repeated an: perate charges, which were REPULSED WITH GREAT SLAUGHTER to the Indians. They gained higher ground than Reno occupied, Aud as their arms were longer range and better than the cavairy’s they kept up a galling fire until nightfall. During the night Reno strengthened his po- sition and Was prepared for ano-her attack, which was madeat daylight. The day wore on. Reno had lost in Killed and wounded a irge portion of his command, forty oid baving been killed before the bluff was reached; many of them in hand-to-hand con- flict with the Indians, who outnumbered them ten to one, and his men had been with. out water for thirty-six hours.

The Indian sharp shooters were nearly oppo site the mouth of the ravine through which the brave boys approached the river, but the attempt was made, and though one man was killed and seven wounded, the water was gained, and the command relieved.
