DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATIONS. — The Senate committee on appropriations took final action upon the miscellaneous de eney bill yesterday, and Insertel seve: items amounting ii: all to $1,015,201 12, in ad- dition to those coniained in the pill as passed by the House. Among these were the 1ollowing of general importance? and Dis- trict interest: Star roate service, £50,009; po clerks, route agents, &¢ , $24,500; C: umbia Deat and Dumb asylum, $5,000; Na lcnal association of colored women and Z called on | seat children, $6,000; continuing Work on the | new State, War aud Navy departments building, $325,000; Hot Springs commission- 0, commiseiouers tor revising U.S 4; improving the Botanical for adapting the pond at tt jot, Washington, D. C.. to. the p of carp, for distribution throughont he country under the dtrection of the fish- ery commission, $5,000; expenses of the ecutive office. $1,400, pay of Capitol pot S612. The total amount of the bill, as by Sepaie cominittee, is SPATE OF TENNESSEE VS. A. VANGEN- DER—This is a case of much importance, ulict in the state- ments which have gone out in reference to it we have made inquiry to ascertain the fa: waich are as follows: A. Vangender, a cle inthe Pension Office, was detatied by the Commissioner of Fensious as agentand sent to the siateof Teanessee io investigate some pension cases wherein fraud was suspected. In the course of the in- vesligations he elicited testimony tending to ebarge a Nashville frm of claim agents with defrauding a pensioner of a portion of her peusion money, by taking from her a great- er fee than allowed by statute. Vangender is now indicted in a criminal court of the state upon the charge that in obtaining that testimony he was guilty of subornation of perjury. The pending proceediugs upon the writ of habeas corpus are instituted by the United States authorities to setile the ques- tion whether a requisition of the governor of @ state, resting upon an indic:ment for an of- Jence against te law of the United States, and which is not also an offence against the law of the state should be honored and te person claimed delivered over. While the Merits Of the case cannot now be inquired into, it 1s not improper lo say that Mr. Vai gerder is regarded by his acquaintances and by the Commissioner of Pensions as lacapa- bie of the crime of which he is charzed. THE NEw PRESS FOR PRINTING ED GRAVED PLATES.—We understand that owing to the absence of the chairman of the committee to Whom was entrusted the triai of the recently invented steam press, intend- ed for priptivg sleel and copper engravings, no repo: will be made to the Secretary of tue Treatury before Mo day next. Tats ma- chine has worked @ revolution in the ari of printing evgraved plates. Hitthervothe flaest piciures have been printed by hand rotier 's only, because it bas been deemed abso- ately necessary to mianipuiate the plates with ihe human hand, in the process of print- ing. tu order to attain the degree of excel- lence ard delicacy demanded in taking im- | cay ae from the best engravings. And it as been doubted if ever machinery could be invented to meet these exactions; or, in other words, to do the same order of work as that performed by the palm of the human hand r as Gen.
