Prof. Heiry presented the report of the Smitn- sot lau Ios titate, from wnieb it appears that the permanent faud of the Institution has Mmereased from £54,000 at the beginning of tis career to $700,000. Prof. Huxley was adiet to the international committee on geological romerciature. The sessions of the conven tion will close to morrow. THE Dit CHARGED EMPLOYEES of the Ba- reau of Engraving and Printing thanked by resolution Messrs. Randali, Holman, and Wells for their efforts la securing to them one month’s additional pay. There is not much to be th @ob fal for after all, particnlar- ¥ as provision was made in the act to get back at least some of U:is brea cast npoo the waters. The law says: ‘And eacn of the employees recently furioughed and finally permanently discharged from service in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing shail re ceive one months’ pay, for which purpose the sum of twenty-five toousand dollars is hereby appropriate): Provided, That said pay shail be given persoually to said employess Tespe carey only, not to auy agent claiming for them: And provided” fur her, Toat in caseof their resto-ation to employ: meni tn the goverament service, one half d months’ pay shall be deiueted from their first month’s wages after such restora- tion and the remaiviog haifof sald months" pay shail be deducted from thelr second mouths’ wages after sach restoration.” DISCHARGES IN THE CUSTOMS SERVICE, A clause in the legislative, executive and jJadicial appropriation act reduces the num- ber of special agents to be employed ta the customs service from fifty-three to twenty. In accordance with this provision the list of *pecial agents has been revised, and those in excess of the twenty specified, who are to be cropped, have been notified ttmt their ser- vices will not be reoutred after the 10th of October, and @ach of the ageats discharged has been granted a leave of absence untll toat date.

An order will be shortly issued revoking the order placing the special agents under the direction of the Solitor of tue Treasury, and placing them under the immediate direction of the Secre- tary of the Treasury. GENERAL SHERMAN OF OPINION THR InDIaNs Dow’'T Want TO FiGHT.—Toe Washington correspondent of the New York Herald eays: General Sherman continues to bs of the impression that the hostile Sioux have been divided up or that they are en- deavoring to get out of the Powder river aod Bg Horn country. He says tnat he is of tus opinion that they do not waat to fight any More and that they will endeavor to cross the Yellowstone to getaway. If they can succeed in doing this, which he doubis on account of General Miles’ patroliug forces, they will then be heard of at the agencies. There are but three fords practicaole for Xi Bnd it will taxe long to get their old men, women, ponies les across they will be pounced upon by the United States troops before they can accomplish suc @ move ment. General Sherman believes that the Indians under Sitting Ball would not have allowed the junction of the forces of Generals Crook snd Terry if they meant to fight, and to bim it looks & though with @ broken up crowd of the hostlles, Sitting Bull is likely to be getting ready to surrender and secure the best terms ible. At all events, no euch determined fighting as heretofore is locked for. Beyond the 2,500 additional sol- diers now being recruited uo additional troops will be required. Hence there is ot much probability that the request of the marine corps to be employed will be com- Piied with, unless it may be deemed advis- &ble to place them at the agencies to carry eut the arresting of the returned hostiles found a@t the agencies.

C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1876. The Cabinet Scandal. EX-ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS’ WIFE NOT THE SUSPECTED PERSON. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Garetie from this city says: “A week ago there was extensively published a statement re- specting certain anonymous letters sent to the wives of members of the cabinet, and that through the efforts of Bluford Wilson the authorship was traced to Mrs. Williams, wife of the Attorney General, resul in Mr. Williams’ expulsion from the cabinet. It will be remembered that this subject waa mentio: ed before the sub-committee on the Whisky trials and emphatically denied by Mr. Wiiliams as false in every assertion. At the time the last statement was publishet Mr. Williams and his wife were en row'e for Oregon. But another and higher authority, the President himself, pronounc3s the cbarges #8 wholly untrue, and authorizes the statement that no suspicion ever resied upon Mrs, Williams as the writer of the letters except In the mind of Bluford Wilson. The Presideut's wife and Mrs. Williams both received threatening letters after Mr. Wiliams resigned from the cadinet, and Whose revlrement Was not ta the slightest manner connected with the &nony mous let- ters. He did vot then nor does he now enter- tein the slichtest suspicion reflecting upon that lady. On the coatrary the evidence was of och & eburacter as to poins toa mailelous person who was angered by an official act worle Mr. Williams was Attorney General, and which the President approved. In due time the party, whose name is withheld ‘0: prudential reasous, will bs indicted, and on that day Bioford Wilsoa will have an opportunity of telling ail he knows about the scandal.” ma Policy this Winter. HILLS COUNTKHY TO BE CLEARED OF INDIANS. Orders have deen issued from the War de- partment, and arrangements are io progress, for the establishment of two winter posts in the Iadlan coustry—one near oid Fort Pail Kearney, near Goose creek, and another on the Yellowstone river, at or near the mouth of the Powder river. At these points huts Will be built for the use of the troops, and supplies of ali Kinds will be stored to last all Wiiler aud to enable the troops to make au early start after the Indians next spring, lo case it should be necessary. But as loag as soldiers eau march the campaign will be kept up this winter. The government has decided to take permanent possession of the Black bills and Big Hora couatry, and to weep the indians out of it altogether. Tne War office has now practical coatrol of the following Iudian agencies: Standing Rock Coeyenne, Rei Cloud and Spotted Tail. it is intended to remove the last two either into the Missour! or Indian country, where treops can better prevent the bucks from Joining the bostiles under Sitting Ball, or taking excursions luw the Sioux country. Preparations are being made,and at the proper time all the Ladians on the differe st Teservatiinus who have been 11 +yupathy with or who are suspected of yiviug Bid ov» Siting Buil, #4il be disarmed, and o:uer measures taken to prevent tueir Joining tne hostiles in the spring. THE ORDER reca}ling the consuls and other cMicials ot our legations abroad, made ne. ce-sary bythe reduction of thelr number by Congress, bas been issued at tue Suave ac- partment, and notices have been sent to toose whose offices are abolished. No replies have been received as yet at the departme:t, and none of the accounts have been settied. Economy WHICH Saves NoTaInG.— A good il!ustration of the maaner in which the reductions were made in the clerical force in the execniive departments is exem-. plided in the National Bank Redemption agency in the Treasury department, where the force 13 cut down from 152 to 95, notwith- standiog the fact thal the work is inereas- ing year by }ear and the whole expense of Ue aivisiors is paid by the banks. The re “tmp ions for the Grst year were 5,000.09 > and ast year were £204 000,000 and this year pOWwlse Lo be at least 250,000,000.

When the werkis brisk 1t will be impossible to per- form the work with the namber of clerks allowed. The ovly reason for making this reduction is that it makes an apparent dim. tnution in the aggregate amount tee 1@1, so that it cau be made a part of the graud total of retrenchment claimed by Mr. Ran call and his colleagues, whereas every cent «f the expense Is reimbursed to the Treasury by the banke, whose officers are | geen 4 atiefied with the manner ia which their work 1s done, and who cannot fall to be dissatisfied if it is delayed by @ want of the necessary clerical force. : Political Notes. In reply to the assertion that Mr. Schura’s support of Hayes and Wheeler is the result ofa political bargain, his paper, the West- Nene Post, says the only offer or promise of office that has yet reached Mr. Schurz cams from the other side. It says: Scarcely had Mr. Tilden been nominated when @ number of his friends called on Mr. Pretorius, Mr. Seburz’ tner, @nd assured him tuat President filden’s first act would be wo sead in Mr. Schurz’s name as Secretary of State, or Minister to Germany, Just as he m'ght refer.

Daily, dear STAR, have I scanned your “twinklings” to find some word from Oak- land; but though other places of resort have been duly noticed, nothing has been said of this, the most charming of places. For some reason there seems to be adisposition to keep Deer Park before the public, and to dispar- age or rather ignore Oakland. Every move- mentat Deer Park is written up, from the visit of the President to that of George Alfred Townsend, and even the visitors there affect superior airs, which would be grinding on the Oaklanders were they uot stroag tn the conrciousness of their linpregnahility as holding the first, and best place, and having LO musarTooM airs and graces, It is in truth A PRETTY MOUNTAIN TOWS; has 1.200 inhabitants, Lwo newspape democraiic:) five churches, grassy beautiful trees, and such air and wate tonic is needed here to give one an appetite. Sueb lovely days for riding of walkiug; such nights for rest and refresbinent are not often found. The sky seems bluer, the air parer. and the sunset tints on cloud and mountain, more wonderful each season. Lonely mou tain roads, overshadowed by trees and lined with ferns, lead all through these “gla tes" So wild, and shut out from the notey world, are some of these, that one would uot be surprised to sea FAIKY FORMS NEAR THE LIMPID MOUN- TAIN SPRINGS, or to bear afar “the horns from Elfland faintly blowing.” There js a charin beyoud words in @ horseback ride amoog such scenes, and many have we taken, undeterred by stories of rattlesnakes or panthers. <A good oid lady whose husband has been & mountain guide ard hunter ail his life, as- sures us that ‘‘no ‘painte:’ will touca a human upless first attacked.” The beautiful new hotel here has been crowded all the season; so have been ail the boarding houses, and money could not get accommodations.

W. W. New YorRK Rivak PIRATES.—The river pirates are again at work, and with even more than their accustomed boldness. Last nigbt tbey boarded several schooners an- cbored in Flusbivg Bay, and in addition to robbing the vessels, in most cases brutally treated the occupauts. ‘They entered the cabins of schooners F. Nelson and A. Bacon, and presented pistols at the heads of the sleepipg lnomates, demanding all the mosey and vainables on board. i secured these they left, but not before fastening the cabin docrs. They also boarded the sedoon- er“G. L,” loaded with ice, dound from Maine for this port. On board were five men—the captain, H. 8. Lovell; the mate, bis brotber; two deck hands, and a boy. Tue first notice that the occupants had of the thieves was when they were awakened by some unknown noise, saw two men standing over each one, both presenting their pistols at the heads of the sailors. The men nad their hate drawn down over their for 8 and handkerchiefs tied over their faces, fo that their featur’s were entirely bid from view. Tne twelve drove tne sailor: ‘together into one corner of the cabin, and while one kept them under cover 01 the revolver, tue other flve began ransack- idg the room. The captain's pants, which were banging up, and contained a wallet in which was $25, were taken, and his watch.
