THE HARBOR CHANNEL APPROPRIATIONS.— General Park of the engineer corps of the United States army, yesterday sent to the ofti- cers who have charge of the river and harbor improvements in the various sections of the country, notification of the amounts appro- priated for such work during the next fiscal year in their districts, with instructions to submit in return plans and specifications for that work for approval. The total amount of these appropriations is about 38,000,000. The amount for the last two years was only $5,000,000. The officer in charge of this Dis- triet is Mr. 8. T. Abert, civil engineer of the United States army. He has not yet submitted his plan for the improyementof the harbors of Washington and Georgetown. The aj propria- tion for this work is” $50,000, of which sum $20,000 is to be expended in Washington har- bor and channel below the Long Bridge, and $30,000 to be expended in Georgetown narbor and channel. Mr. Abert’s plan for this im- provement will be arepetition of the dredging ot previous Jeats, to relieve the channel of iis accumulated debris and. mud. Work wili commence as scon as this plan is approved by the Secretary or Wai OLD PENSIONERS.—The recent law granting pensions develops some new and interesting facts at that office.

His pen- sion is granted for service at the battle of Plattsburgh, N.Y. In another case a paper was returned to the claimant on account of some informality, and the old man had died before itreached him. It was then returned tothe widow, when she, too, was found to be dead. ARMY ORDERS.—The order directing Second Lieutenant Robert Hanna, 6th cavalry, to re- Port to West Point is revoked; Captain John Simpson, assistant quartermaster, is tempora- rily relieved from duty in the division of the Atlantic, and will report without delay to the superintendent general of the recruiting ser- vice, New York city, for duty at the new re- ou Hing. depot at David's Island, New York PREPARING FOR THE MEETING.—Since Con- gressman Acklen’s departure from New Or- leans for Washington to clear up that scandal the newspaper Legh dorrgceg are taking les- sons at shooting Uo eries to improve their marksmanshjp.—[ Wash.

After our report of the proceedings before Potter's investigating committee closed yes | terday, R.C. Blasscock was sworn, to prove conyersations he had with Mrs. Jenks about the Sherman letier. MRS. JENKS IN AN ANGRY MOOD. Mrs. Jeuks roomed in his house, in this city, and one day last winter she returned froma visit to Sherman in an angry mood, and said } that she had been insulted, but that She would make it hot for him yet. Mrs. Jenks then professed to have control of a letter or docu- ment which she had obtained from Mrs. Weber, and she went to New Orieans to get that pa- per. Biasscock never saw the paper, nor did he see Mrs. Jenks again until a few days ago. The republican mem bers of the commit- tee did not cross-examine this witness. “PARTURIUNT MONTES,” E’ Chairman Potter laid before the commitee a letter from Mr. Whitney, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company here, in response toa demand for telegrams that had passed between Mrs. Jenks aud J. E. Ander- son, and stating that he regarded the tele- grams as privileged and would not desire to produce them except men compulsion. The “eompulsion” consi in voting that he should produce them, whereupon Mr. Whit- ney, wn ie present drew out one telegram, which read as follows: . “To James E. Anderson, Philadelphia: Are you coming over to-morrow? u ie “A. D. JENKS.” That was all that could be found on the files of the telegraph office, he said. The members looked at each other in astonishment, and amid general laughter, Mr. Potter handed the paper back to Mr. Whitney with the re- mark that he could take it back with him. Mr. Whitney was requested, however, to as- certain from the New York office whether any of the telegrams asked for could be found among the papers shipped there from Wash- ington. WHAT W. E. CHANDLER DON'T KNOW ABOUT FLORIDA. The committee then took up the Florida case, but with the understanding t the ex- amination at present should not extend fur- ther than to questions which might have re- ference to Minister Noyes. Mr. Wm. E. Chan- t witness called. He had met Gov. Noyes at Tallahassee, but he was utterly ignorant of the fact whether Noyes held out any inducements on behalf of Hayes to any of the Florida politicians, and he had no recol- 4 lection whether he had made any promises | which would tend to secure the state for Hayes. He did not think he had doneso. He did not know at whose particular instance Noyes went to Florida. He had asked that rominent republi@aus be seut down there, ut he did not specially designate Noyes. If Noyes made any promises to members of the returning board that they would be taken care of he had no knowledge of it. He could recollect nothing about any promises having been made to that effect. Witness was then a:ked to explain the fol- lowing telegram ich he had sent to A. E. Lee, the priyate secretary of Gov. Hays “Win. 8. Matthews and others of higa charac- ter. Rainey.” That meant, he said, “Send Stanley Matthews and others of high’ charac ter.” The word “Rainey” meant “Thing: look favorabie."" He did know whether Hayes sent Noyes to Florida in response to that tele- ram. Matthews did not come, but others did. ie explained another telegram to Z. C. Chand- ler, dated November 18,1876,in which he asked “if Robinsog could go to Philadelphia?’ whether they*could “have Jones again by saying that “Robinson” meant to deposit $5,000 to his credit in Philadelphia, and the reference to “Jones” was whether he could draw for $2,000 additional. The witness wanted to have it particularly understood that he f no promises that Goy. No} was assigned was to tak work of preparing arguin to the vote and reiurns fro! nee of the legal in relation Alachua county. went to Paris there he had not rem; ¥ some ned here to efMicient work in Flo: would like Mr. Chandler to prepare a list of ail the Florida politiciaus who had obtained office, and of those who had been recommended but who had not obtained oflice. DENNIS, THE ALACHUA GIANT, Was then placed on the stand, and was exam- ined by Mr. Sprin: His jtory was that he Was brought into direct and intimate commu. nication with Noyes in regard to Alacuua county; that Nuyes wanted to call him as a Witness, but he auvised him not to do so, for if he was sworn he would tell the whole truth, and Noyes seemed to undersiand that he would not be a good witness for the republi- an side and did noy call him. They regarded Noyes as the spectals representative of Gov. Hayes, and he often spoke of Hayes's desire to take care of the Florida republicans. There was a doubt aboat some of the visiting stat men, and especially Mr. Barlow, of New York, who,was selected to make the argument be- fore the canvassing board. The Florida people feared that they were to be sold out. In other words, that the state was to be taken care of for Goy. Hayes, but not for Gov. Stearns. Den- nis woke Noyes and Lew Wallace out of sleep one meraing and told them of their fears, and protested Seainst Barlow representing the case before the returning board. Noyes as- sured them that Hayes cared as much for the State government as he did for the counury. As a result of this interview Barlow was with- drawn and did not represent the casé before the canvassing board. Witness said if they had not got an assurance that the state was to be taken care of they would have turned the state over to Tilden, and they had the power to do so. To-day’s Proceedings. The Potter committee met to-day at 11:20 o'clock. WHAT DENNIS SAYS ABOUT PRAUDULENT VCTES. L. G. Dennis was recalled. He said that he had knowledge of the fact that 219 fraudulent republican votes hfd been added to box 2, of Archer precinct, and he didn’t want to tes- ufy tothe fact before the returning board: and hence he told Gov. Noyes not to summon him before the returning board as a witness. He said the fraudulent addition of the 219 yotes was @ matter of public discussion at Tallahassee. DENNIS AS AN OFFICE HOLDER. Witness said he was appointed to an office under the adminisiration; it was in the se- eret service but not cecret work; was ap- pointed by the Secretary of the Treasury on ‘ebruary 1, 1878; remained in the place two months and resigned ; was subsequently ap- pointed a special agent in the Internal Reve- nue department; was so notified by. Senator Sargent. “I did not indicate I would accept, and went to Florida: when I came back I re ceived a letter from Gen. Raum canceling the appointinent.” . DENNIS AND GOV. NOYES. Witness said that he called on Gov. Noyes last Sunday night: that Rostotary Sherman dropped in, but did not stay long; the conver- Gion was not with reference to Florida mat- a A letter was read written by Gov. E. F. Noyes to Secretary Sherman, recommending Dennis fora place as auditor of the Treasury department, setting forth that he (Noyes) hai made his (Dennis) acquaintance in Florida, and that he was an active republican, who had been ostracised in his own state. Dennis said that he knew of nothing else that Gov. Noyes had done in the Florida matter except to make an argument before the returning board, from the testimony which he (Dennis) Prepared. Witness did not tell Gov. Noyes that there was anything fraudulent witu the testimony; he lef¢ that for his own intelligence to analyze and settle. Witness derived the information that there were 219 fraudulent votes in box No. 2, of Archer county, from tworepublicans who put them in the box, and whose testimony was already with the returning board. STUFFING BOX NO. 2. Dennis, in reply to questioning by Gen. But- ler, explained avout the 219 fraudulent votes in box No. 2, of Archer county. He said the vote should have shown 219 more republican votes than it did show, and that this number of votes were put into it by the election offi- cers to make it actually show what they fhought it should have shown, but did not, be- fore being stuffed. Q. Did you see the election officers making up the yotes? A. I saw them at work, usin; the registration as a basis for the names 0} the voters put on the retuns and in the box; they did the work in my house. The men who did the business were Thos. H. Vance and — rece vanes is cme! ed now ea the ing uditor’s office of the Treasury department; Black is employed in the U.S. custom house *hiladelphia. ‘Witness said if he had been called as a wit. ness before the returning board he would have told the truth, and of course it would have weakened the testimony of Vance and weer Noyes on the Stand. Gov. Noyes, na inistel Franee, was Det sworn, ‘He saaid jn fue tal of 1876,.

San FRANCISCO, June 28.—In the recent at- tack of Major Bernard’s command upon the hostile Indians, the latter are reported to have hi had in the fight fifteen hundred warriors. The Indians were not aware of the presence of the soldiers, and their stock was unguard- ed. Major Bernard, addressing his troops, informed them that they “were close to the enemy and could whe hem.” He charged his men not to retreat; if they did he said they would be shot, and they might as well die by shots fired by Savages as by our men. The sol- diers went silently forward and attacked the Savage torce, which was three times greater than ours. When within five hundred yards of the enemy, the order was given to charge. Captain McGregor’s company was near at hand, and they charged also. The savages fled in dismay. Large numbers of them were Killed. A single handed conflict took place between Bearskin, a Bannock chief, and Ser- geant Richmond, of Capt. McGregor’s com- apy. The sergeant finally killed his man. ‘tween 1 and 2 o'clock of the morning of the 24th instant the hostiles were compelled to re- treat. They were pursued by Major Bernard ten miles.
