But LittLe ARABLE LAND OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT. — Major Powell, i1 charge of the geological survey of territories, states that there is but comparatively a small area of arable laud now owned by the United States, and is preparing for Congress, at the direction of the committee on pyblic lands, a report to matntain his assertion. He divides the United S:ates into three regions, with respect to agricultare: Tie humid, or arable, the sub arid, and the arid. In the arable portion, which includes the coubtry east of a line from the easter: point of Lake Supertor to the gulf. the United States ow’ s uo lands not taken up. The b-it of the country, 30 miles in width, from Canada vo the guif, adjoining that beli on the west, is the sub-arid division. Ia this the United Staves owns a considerable quavuty of land, which may be cultivated by irrigation. West of that, in the immense arid belt, extending from the ape! Moun- tains into Eastern Catifornia, oaly 2 per cent. of the lund can be cultivated, and, of this per cent.,1 per cent. bas airealy been taken up.

The letter concludes as follows “The department is therefore of opinion tt the provision of law which imposes fifu per pound duty on sugars ater being re fined when tinclured, coluret, or In any way adulturated, is uot applicable to the class of sugars under consideration. In view of all the facts now prevented the department di Tects thaton iimyortations of wagar which shall be found to bave been art ficially col- ored after manufacture, the samples taken sball be cleaned of their artificial color, and that the duty shall be assessed upon the true color, 80 ascertained.

ARCHITECT CLARK’S ANSWER — Mr. Ed ward Clark architect of the Capitol, has filed his answer at the Interior department to the charges that have been preferred against him. He says tat he has not for a year past been employed at the Soldiers’ Home, bat that In former years he received smail sums for expenses incurred in the superintendeace of work there, uever in any oue year exceed- ing the sum of $700. Tais he does not con- sicer Witbin the meaning of the law forbid- ding public oificers from receiving two sala- ries. The buildin; the construction of which be superiniended, were not appropri- ated for, and were paid’ for by the commis- S!oners with other than government funds. The other charges he endeavors to show to be without { widation or frivolous. He con- cludes with un allegation that Lee had a contract for work on the extensioa of the Capitol grounds, and put ina bill for extras nearly or quite equal to the original cos- tract, which bill he r-jected, and since that LUme Lee bas by letrers to officials and others sought to malign and injure him. As yel Lo commission Ww luvestigate the charges against Mr. Clurk has been appoint- ed, end it is doubtful if a y will be. Toe only xccusation which is regarded as worthy Of consideration is the one which charges bim with having received money from the trustees of the Soldiers’ Home rendered.

Acting Secretary McCormick states that he has issued no order relative to the payment ofdebts by clerks in the Treasury depart- rt. Just prior to his departure for Ohio S+cretary Sherman addressed x leiter lo Mr. McCormick, saying: “Roprasd cases a been brought to my attention where clerks employed in this department negiect to pay their bills for faintly supplies, and creditors sek to enforce their clatms by appeals to the department. Itis not our business to Fee to the collection of debts cont ved by employes, but where a clerk, reesiving a stated salary, neglects or refuses to pay debis contracted for the support of his fam- ily withont some reason of great ne essity, he is guilty of fraudulent pract and ought 1ot to be retained in the aps ser- vice. When such a case is clearly shown, I trust you wi'l at once recommend the persoa for removal.” Mr. McCormick caased a coy each bureau and division in ard asked that the attention of emp! caledto it. He states that the num of clerks In the department who neglect to pay their current bills is comparatively small. Mr. Sherman's letter is not intended to ap- ply to debts incurred befor rks entered the department, nor to debts incurred which they have made pr. forts to discharge. " Since its promalgatien several well-known Shylocks and usurera have visited the depariiment, pressiug old claims and claims fairly iuvolved in dis. pute, but they have been promptly told that the Gepartmevt could not, aud would not, aid them In their demands. ee Present Disposition of U 8S.

The Baltimore county almshouse and the Caro. line county almishouse are a moczery ebarity, and a@ nussery of pollution, not the slightest attention being pa'd to te moral or physical condition of the pauper and insane inmates. One woman was the mother of two ebildren and another of six, all said to have been begotten and born within the alms | house. If the colored department should be compared toa filthy pig sty it would be an ir justice to the pig sty. In one small room were found foar men, five women, two chil- dren, and a quantity of cats and’ dogs and other living things too numerous to mention. Of the five women ove was & centennarian, two were mo'bers with tnfants in the'r arms and two were young girls, aged respeciively feurteen and “sixteen years.

JOSEPH AND HIS BAND Alarm Felt for the Safety of General Sherman CHicaGo, Ang. 19—The dispatches whic bave been received at Gen. Sheridan's bead- qvarters the past two days from various military sources in the far western country leave nu doubt wha'ever that J his band of Nez Perces, is making eastward. It is believed that the tnteation pchief is to make an attempt to strike he head waters of Tongue river through Yellowstone Park. So fully convinced Is NEWS FROM PANAMA. The Wreck of the Edea PANAMA, August 11.-The details of the loss of the Pacitic Steam Navigation com- pany’s steamer Eden,on the K seks Los Vtias, bear Valparaiso, are somewhat amplified, but in substance are those communicated In my last dispatch. The lossof life » variously stated. probably reaching to the namber of 4. One sad incident is that whilst efforts were being made to rescue tweaty of the thipwrecke!, who were grouped on a rock 500 yards from the shore, the boats of the vessel employed found it to be impossible to reach the survivors, and these, out pure desperation, Uirew themselves into the sea to escape further suflering from famine aod thirst. The loss of the steamer is the first item in a probably long list to originate from the catastrophe of May last. Carrents nd consequent bearings Lave be-n changed by that commotion. The Eden was driven on the rocks whilst pursuing an exeeption- ally safe course, but it was not imagined by the officers on board, all well acqaaiated With the coast, that grealer caution was becestary. —— The (hataaqua 4 .aembly.
