INVESTIGATING COLLEVTOR TYLER. — The Treasury department is investigating the charges of immoral conduct against Mr. Ty ler, collector of custor Buffalo, N. Y. TuE Horrest Day.—To-day is the hottest yet this year. The thermometer at the Signal office registered 94'4° at 12 o'clock, being six degrees higher than yesterday and 12 higher than the day before. The 9th of this month is second to to day in heat. At noon of that day the thermometer at the same place registered 914°. The noon temperature here, in New k, Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Orleans and Charleston, at noon of to-day one i ago was 88°, 83°, $2°, $32, 75°, 84°, 83° and sy?

MissinG DEMOCKATS.—This was the day the democratic congressional campaign commit- djourned to meet at the Riggs House, in this city, and begin the “whooping up” of the n. There was no sign of any ani- democrats, however, avout the com! teeroom. John G. Thompson is away in Ohio looking after that pro home of democracy, en, Banning has his nds full at his Cincinnati home to convince “the boys” that he ought to be renominated to the Forty-si Congress. Senator MeDonald, of Indian: was also conspicuous for his absence. Hence no quorum, likewise no meeting. PERSONAL —Justice Miller, of the U. 8. Supreme Court, has so far recovered as to be able to exercise out doors during a portion of the day by riding or walking. ***: The friends of Hon.

The first of these, ‘The Po- laris in Thank-God Harbor,” Wm. Brad ford, can uow be seen ina good light, and a most refreshing picture it is in this hot Season. The other work Is the well-known recumbent marble statue of the ‘* Dying Tecumseh,” by Pettrich & Sons, 1855, who formerly resided here. This work has been lying for’ years in the dark crypt of the Capitol, under the [o- tunda, within six inches of the floor—its hack to a window, and exposed to dust, and the stains of expectorating visitors, one of whom during the Centennial year clipped off par: an ear—as a velic. The Corcoran Gallery welcomed it,and though not enjoying p the best possible position, it has been elevated on a proper maroon-covered pede where its really numerous points of merit r dvantage than former! prise: many who once dé ¢ and whieh Will sur spised the work. THE HEATED TERM.—The ofticers at the sig nal bureau of the War Department do not ap- prehend that the western hot wave now pros- wank man and beast in Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee, will reach Washington, [Isn’t it here already?) The weather-waves which affect Washington usually come along the coast. In New England, within the last forty: eight hours, there has been a decline in the temperature of from two to four degrees, fol- lowed by rain. It is quite probable that the coast waves will soon bring rain hereabouts, and give us temporary relief from the raging relen of the dog star now upon us. So mote it be. THE AMOUNT OF THE AWARD to American claimants by the joint American and Mexi- ean commission is $4,025,622, to be distributed among about 180 persons. After deducting 114,900 for the expenses of the commission there will remain for distribution of the amount thus far paid by the Mexican government $570,040. This will give a pro rata of about 14 percent. The Weil and La Abra cases are not included, as they are left for future con- sideration in conse uence of the allegation of fraud by the Mexican government. No checks or warrants have yet been issued to the claim- ants or their attorney: return of the Secretary SECRETARY SCHURZ ON THE INDIAN (Ug TION.—Secretary Schurz, on being asked his opinion as to the result of the consultation be- tween the commission recently sent out to Dakota (accompanied by Commissioner Hayt) and the Sioux under Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, in relation to their removal from their present reservation, stated in effect that the mission had not failed, and arrangements are how being made to carry out the programme. The removal, he said, would have taken place long ago long delayed the appropriations for that purpose. In regard to the Crow Creek Indian frauds, Mr. Schurz said the whole campaign for their discovery was planned in the Indian office by Inspector Hammon The Crow Creek affair is not the only one. Quite a number, he adds, of persons connected with the Indian service as agents and contractors are under indictment in sev- eral pee of the cunt and other similar in- vestigations are now going on with promise of like results. The secretary uhinks that the Indian service can be made honest by atten- tion, energy and perseverance. In regard to the pclicy of the government he said: “There are three things possible: either to extermi- nate the Indians or to permit them to remain paupers and vagabonds and feed them, or to gather them apee reservations and try to make them self-supporting, as_ much as sible, by agriculture, stock-raising, and si jar pursuits. The latter is the policy which humanity dictates, aud which is now followed. It isa policy easily defined, but very difficult to carry out. I think we are paling: fair pro- gress, but it will require time to make it gen- erally successful.” Tue Fourtn oF JuLY In HAvRE.—Advices received at the Navy department state that the American war ships at Havre, France, appropriately celebrated the 4th of July. Two Doat races took place in the harbor, both of which were won by the crews from the Con- stellation. Fireworks were burned in the evening. ARMY ORDERS.—First Lieut. D. B. Taylor, Mth infantry, will report to the commanding general department of Dakota for assignment to duty—a reg for medical treatment. Leave of absence for three months, with permission to fo beyond the sea, is granted Capt. John R. McGinness, ordnance department. NAVAL ORDERS.—Lieut. F. W. Crocker, to the Wabash, at Boston, relieving Lieut. Wm. P. Randall, who will hold himself in readiness for orders to the Asiatic station. Lieut. Fred- erick H. Paine, from torpedo duty at Newport, and placed on waiting orders. Pay Inspector G. L. Davis has Fepeved his return home, hay- ing been detached from the Hartford, South Aulantie station, on the 29th of May last, and has been ordered to settle his accounts. CoLoRED RECRUITS FOR THE CAVALRY.— The superintendent of mounted reeruiting service has been ordered to forward to Fort Garland, Col., for assignment to the . Airy, all araUabe elongata THE DEMAND FOR FocR PER CEN Owing to the numerous applications for regis- tered four per cent. bonds of small denomi- Nations, the Treasury department has been unable, with all the clericaj ‘force which could be employed thereon, to fill the orders as rapidly as received. Purchasers of the bonds shoul understand, however, that interest will run from the date of payment for the bonds, and not from the date of their issue, and that the little delay from time to time on account of suddenly increased orders, will result in no loss or injury. The department is using every possible exertion, however, to prevent al delays in the future. and in a few days wil probably be able to fill all orders upon their receipt. There is no delay in the issue of cou pon bonds. WORK FOR EX-So_prers—Gen. John C. Robinson and James Tanner, of New Yor representing the Grand Army of the Republic, are here to induce the President to urge t employment of ex-soldiers upon the public works to be prosecuted by the government. SEVERE WEATHER ON LETTER CARRIERS.— The Postmaster General has received dis patches this morning from the postmasters of nearly all the large cities of the west, stating that, owing to the intensity of the heat and casualties amongst the letter-carriers from that cause, they have been compelled to sus- pend the operations of the free delivery sys-- tem between the hours of 10 to 4 o’¢lock.. The service here has not yet been withdrawn, but the men are suffering severely. Tue Bonp of Collector Merritt, of New York, has been received and approved. His commission was forwarded him by last night's mail. The name of ex-Senator Fenton was not on the bond. InE MAT SERVICE CONVENTION.— The convention of superintendents of the railway mail service, superintendents of mails and of registration at post offices, which met at the P.

Removal or UTEs anp APACHES.—Men- tion has been made in Tue Star of com- plaints received at the Indian office from In- ppector Watkins at Cimarron, New Mexico, to the effect that the military authorities near by had led the liadians, tor whose removal to Col- orado provision had been made by Congress, to believe that there was no law requirin their removal, and that consequently the In: dians, not fearing the loss of annuities and rations in case of failure to remove, w i disposed to go.

WEBEL 1S BRIRING COLORED MEN TO RECANT THEIR INTIMIDA- TION AFFIDAVITS. Before the Potier sub-committee in New O1 le: sterday Joshua S. Dula (color jana, testified that he wa j yas invit Fi made affidavit. before the returning board charging intimidation, violence and murder; made statements on information received from others. The cross-examination by Gov. Cox brought out the statement from Dula that he had been daily in the company of E. L. Weber for the past week; that Weber had offered witness #50 and the promise of a posi- tion in a public school as teacher if witness would follow his (Weber’s) example, reeant his affidavit before the returning board and deny intimidation in the parish. “Weber said he was all right now; that he had made ar- rangements with those who opposed him and thought he would now be safe anywhere, had acted wisely and advised witness to do the same thing and piace himself right before the people of the parish and state. Witness had promised Weber he would follow his example, ut his conscience would not allow him te do so. Understood the money was paid by a gen- tleman from New York three or four weeks ago. Dula had been promised a piace in the custom-house. Witness received $10 from Weber ceive the balance after testifying. Said this was the only bribery case he had ever had any- thing to do With, and thinks it doubtful if col- ored men can trust themselves when there is mgney at stake. 8. H. St. so it in, of St. James parish, who Was appointed deputy sergeant of-arms of the sub committee, on the recommendation of E. L, Weber. testified that he was present in Webe:’s room when the interviews mentioned by Dula took place; Weber and I room to- gether; we are very intimate; when Dula fir-t came Weber was not in; Dula and I talked of Weber's testimony, and Dula said he believed there was money in it; said Swasey woal along with them, but he wanted #2,000 said ifhe eould get $1, vasey, Dula giving witness to understand he was going with Weber on the saime line of testimony ; never heard Weber offer Dula any money, but Weber borrowed #10 of witness yesterday, and #35 to-day, which was paid to ula by Weber, Dula remarking he did not receive it as a bribe but as a loan. E. L. Weber recalled—Heard testimony of Dula; his statement that Lintended to bribe him is false. Admitted loaning Duia the money as stated by St. Martin. “Testimony was introduced to show that Seymour, the notary, and L. enks we quaintances.

The South American states and Mexico will be invited to send delegates. Gen. Cyrus Bussey, presi- dent of the chamber of commerce, was chosen president of the permanent committee on the convention. Not STOLEN PROPERTY.—Judge Barnard rendered a decision in a Brooklyn (N. Y.) court yesterday, vacating an attachment ob- tained by Luther Slater, of Cambridzeport, Mass., against the dwelling house of Whe H. Moore, in Brooklyn. Moore was charged with being one of the men who robbed the Cam- bridgeport National bank of $100,000, and it was claimed that he bought this house with a portion of the money. It was shown. how. ever, that the money belonged to his wife, ey eect en AN INDIAN FIGHT IN SITKA.—Sitka ad- vices via Victoria, British America, re} ts Aght among the Indians. Four were killed.
