Most of this spurious coin- age is so poor it should not deceive any que who gives it the slightest examination. Chief Brooks, of the secret service, has one of his men detailed to go around among the Wash- ington merchants and ascertain exactly the amount of it in circulation. THE $75,000 APPROPRIATION FOR DISTRICT LABORERS —Certain questions which have arisen under the bill appropriating $75,000 to pay workmen under the late board of pub! works, have been decided as follows by First Controller Porter: Ist. That claims for labor perform: d by horses, carts, &e., under con- tractors whose accounts had been paid prior to June 23d, 1574, will be considered. 24. Claims for work and labor for a contractor under a contract which had been completed anc the amount due paid priom to June 234, Isv4, may be filed, notwithstanding the fact that the same contractor had other contracts under which the amount due had not been pail prior to said date; but the department serves a decision for this class of claims for the future. 3d.

J., reports at ) a.m. to the chief signal officer as follows: “ At 1;15 this a. m. Private Bell discovered a vessel on fire at sea about four miles northeast of this station. He immediately gathered the life- saving crew together, who at once proceeded to the scene of the disaster. It proved to be a large, two-masted schooner, abandoned by her crew. She is laden with coal. It is impossible to ascertain the name of the vessel, as the after part is burned to the water's eae She is expected to sink at any moment. Nothing has been seen or heard of the crew, and it 13 thought they must have been taken off by some passing vessel.”” THE CrxcrsnatiI Wuisky Rive A MyTH.— Revenue Guager Bliss, who is in charge of the duplicate set of guagerssent to Cincinnati to supervise the work of the regular set, writes that he thinks Cincinnati distillers are able to undersell those in Chicago, because the de- mand for high wines is more than equal to the product; hence, the distiller has his high wines gauged hot and is allowed a gallon for the correction of volume. The surp in Chi - cago far exceeds the demand, and the Chicago disuillers have to be content with the cold guage at low temperature. Bliss thinks the high pn Seger guage is about all there is to the so-called whisky ring in Cincinnati. A POSTMASTER TO BE INVESTIGATED.— Charges have been filed with the Postmaster General that Postmaster Eddy, of Toledo, Ohio, while being allowed $10,500 per annum for clerk hire in his office so arranged the clerks salaries that heis really paying for such services a less amount by some #0 or $100, and has placed upon the rolls a person whom he pays at the rate of $80 per annum out of the postal fund, and who, it is alleged, dors no work in the office except on money-order business, for which he is entitled to pay from the commissions of the postmaster. An investi- tion has been ordered. ARMY ORDERS.—Surgeon Jos. B.

S. man-of-war Wyoming has come to an anchor about five miles northeast of this station.” The above dispatch was sent to Acting Sec- retary of the Navy Shufeldt. Upon receipt of it he telegraphed as follows to the com- mandant at Norfolk: ‘Wyoming anchored off Cape Henry; has lost her screw. Where is the Fortune? If not gone out, please send her; or, if possible, communicate with her. Order her to Wyoming. Have you any other at command?” 6 ‘he Wyoming left for Paris in the spring with a portion of the American exhibit to the Paris exhibition. When she got out to sea, 500 miles from New York, she sprung a leak under her bows, and had to put back. She was repaired, and again dispatched on her voyage, making a remarkably good trip under sail. Commander Watson, her captain, in a communication to Secretary Thompson, from Havre,spoke highly of her sailing qualities, and mentioned how she passed _ everything on herway. June 25th. having discharged her cargo, she left Havre for Washington, and was Ce toend the voyage by July 25th. Instead of this nothing was seen of her until about fourteen days ago, when a Gloucester bark reported having spoken her at sea short of coal. Monday, a week ago, she was spoken midway up the Jersey coast, about 30 miles out. Last Friday she was off Cape Hen- lopen. Since then until this morning noth- ing had been heard of her whereabouts. Off Henlopen, Osear H Lackey, her chief en- pincer, was transferred fo a passing stea'ner. ie had dispatches from Captain Watson, with which he arrived in this city late yesterday af- ternoon. From these it is learned that after passing Bishop's Rock lighthouse, off the Seylly Islands, it found that something Was wrong with the vessel's propeller. It was raised for repairs. When the shaft was hauled in, the whole weight of the propeller, about 12,000 pounds, was thrown on its fastenii These gave way and the propeller plunged down Cie fathoms into the sea. The Wy- oming kept on her course under sail. Owit to contrary winds, calms and fogs, she only arrived off the Capes this morning. She has been out fifty six days. Commander Watson reported all well on board, but the provisions short, there being only rations for about five days. He requested that a tug be sent out to meet him with provisions. The tug Fortune had left before Engineer Lackey arrived wi h t.edispatehes. The Wyoming will be towd into Norfoik to-day, and will probably arrive here to-morrow. BANKRU OF CLIFTON W. TAYLEURE.— A voluntary gion in bankruptey has been filed in New York by Clifton W. Tayleure, the dramatic author and theatrical manager. Mr. Tayleure estimates his liabilities at $11,000 and his assets at nothing. A schedule of his per- sonal propery, which is exempt by law, was filed among the papers, and consists of three Suits of clothing, one dozen shirts ond three Suits of underwear, all valued at $50.

THE PENINSULA PEACH CROP.—A corres- ndent of the Wilmington Every Brening irom Clayton, Delaware, or it is tolerably safe to put the figures of total peach shipments this year at 700,000 baskets, which will average at least 0 cents, delivered at the various de- pots, which will show a return to the growers of the lower peninsula of about $630,000,or over $579,000 clear profit from the fruit that is ship- daione. There will be at least 20,000 bas- ets consumed at home, which will be worth quite $100,000, Thus it will be seen that the Peach growers this year who are lucky enough Uo have fruit will make about $600,000 clear from the crop. The total yield in baskets will not reach 1,000,4'0 probably, and this will be known as a small year for peaches, A NEw YORK dispatch to the Was! Post contains this valuable information: “Mr. Halstead has gone to Europe to evade an exi ation ee Ge Potter committee.” So far is this from being true, Mr. Halstead when in New York and before calling, called at the committee rooms and asked if the committee wished to examine him in reference to the matter concerning which Colonel Roberts had testified. General Butler replied that they did not. Mr. Halstead had nothing to concea!, and it is not unlikely, had he been examijed, his statement would have greatly discredited if not destroyed the theory upon which the committee is acting, that there was a bargain. It is possible General Butler was apprehensive of such a result, and therefore declined to put Mr. Halstead on the stand.—[Cin. Com.

TESTIMONY BEFORE THE POTTER COMMITTEE. Alter our report of the proceedings before the Potter committee closed in New York yester- day, the testimony of Major E. A. Burke, of New Orleans, was continued. Witness said: “] was in Washington for the purpose of get- ting an order for the troops not to interfere with Louisiana matters, and got an order to that oe the afternoon of the 2d of March, at 2o'clock.” Q. Then you got that order on that day when General Grant’s term expired at 12 o'clock that night. Now did you not know that Hayes called on Grant that same day at 11 o'clock in the morning? A. No, sir, I did not hear of it. id not know of any conference between Hayes and Grant. Telegram of Mareh 1, 1877, from Grant to Packard, in which he states that, he does no. believe public opinion will sustain any action by the United States gov manisng in Louisiana. and that troops would only be used to protect the peace, witness admitted to be correct Witness said: ‘* We in Louisiana were not favor of the electoral commission. We under- 8 ood, through crude and jon reasoning, that If Hayes was recognized that Packard would also have to be recognized. Witness saw nothingin Hayes's letter of acceptance about the state going two ways.” Here another telegram from U.S, Grant to Gen. Augur, dated January 14, 1877. was read, in which, while deprecating interierence on the part of the federal government in the state aE said that the Packard gov- ernment should be recognized, as the electoral commission had declared them elected. The witness said: “When the hope of seat- ing Tilden, whom he knew to elected, passed away, on the 16th of February, we were READY TO CONFER WITH HAYES _ and see what he meant to do for Louisiana. Among some of the promises made to Senator Matthews were Supression of crime, educa tion of blacks and whites,promotion of friend: y relations between both, and equal civil and political rights. The question of educating iack and white together was not discusezd between Senaior Matthews aud myself. No. thing was said between Matthews and myself wbout the returning board. Witness said there was notone word in these guarantees that are not compulsory and embodied in the laws of the United States and the state of Louisiana. Q. Now was this all you offered to put in Hayes and Packard out? A. We offered these for the Nicholls government. We did ac- quiesce in not opposing the count when we found that the Fepnblican party were determ- ined to go on with the count. Q, Did you and your party friends agree stop opposition to the counting in of [laye: A. We certainly did, sir. We were assured President Grant that after the count was completed the troops would be withdrawn. I ssid to Mr. Matthews that while we were as. sured that President Grant’s assurance of President Hayes’ policy was well intended, yet we wanted these assurances from such men as Garfield, Morton and others, whom they pon more than Mr. Hayes, He said he could not answer for them: and I said then we will place your sed in such position that they must speal meant thereby that our people woul the filibusters and prevent the states of Louisiana and South Carolina being counted for Hayes. Witness said there were but two phases of negotiations 1n this thing—Cameron and Matthews phases. That he made the proposition of agreement to Cam- eron as he did to Matthews on the 18th of Feb- ruary. Also to Mr. Foster, and other leading members of the republican party. Q. After the resolution nee on the 17th February by Congress deciding not to inter- fere with the Louisiana count, was there any hope for the republican administration? A. No, sir; except that some arrangement was made with democrats of Louisiana. I had a conversation with Mr. Hewitt, and he said the democrats were determined to put the onus of this fraud on the shoulders of the republi- can party. The republican party were well a of our determination to break up the count. Witness said he had A CONVERSATION WITH GEN. GRANT on the 26th of February. He intimated that he would not do anything to prejudice the re- publican party, and would not act until the count was declared for Ha: Grant allowed us virtually to take possession of the state. We acted on his intimations, and he subm ted to them. On the 26th of February, t witness said, he receiyed a telegram from M: Ellis, of Louisiana, from Congress, aud went t»see him. He said, “Come instantly.” He told me he hada LETTER FROM LAMAR relative to the conversation that he (Lamar) had with Matthews and Foster in regard to the speech made by Foster. The following is a copy of the letter: a “WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 1877.—My Dear Huis: Lhave just learned from unquestiona ble authority, which I will give if you wish it that Foster said toa gentleman (my inform- ant) that the speech he made to-day which so | significant): ut_indirectly hints at Hayes’ southern re be he made it after consulta- tion with Mr. Matthews, Mr. Hayes’ brother- in-law, and Mr. Matthews told him and urged him to say squarely that Hayes would have nothing to do or say to Packard. Foster said he would, but he said he was afraid to take too much upon himself to say that, but Mr. Matthews reiterates his desire that Foster should say so plumply, and further said, if I were to speak I should say it, because It is the truth. Foster further said that he did not see the mode by which Hayes could accom. plish the practical recognition of Nicholls as zovernor, to which my informant replied: Let im ask Nicholls if I withdraw the army and the gunboats will you assure me that you will not establish your government by bloodshed and bloody retaliation, and if Nicholls makes the pledge let him withdraw them.’ Now, Ellis, this is the first thing I have ever heard ascoming from Hayes directly or indirectly that is worth acting upon by any southern man. We do not want offices, but we do want to get our states and our people free from carpet-bag government. Ought you not if an available opportunity offers, to serve your people, to spring forward at once and see if you can’t free your state? I think you should at once see Mr. Stanley Matthews and ask him if Gov. ree will give you some assurance that he willnot maintain Packard in his dom- ination of your people. Your friend, L. Q. C. Lamar.” “Hon, Jno. Ellis, Representative of Lou: ana.” a. Mr. Ellis proposed A CONFERENCE __ in the room of the finance committee of the Senate, and there were present at it Messrs. Matthews, Denison, Sherman, Foster and my- self. I showed them guarantees which the Nicholis government were willing to make. Mr. Sherman expressed anxiety about the United States Senate, and remarked that if the Nicholls goveramen* were at once recogaized two democratic Senators would also have to be recognized. It was finally agreed to call on Grant and urge him to remove the re a as such @ request would do away with his expressed fears of doing: anyyning. to embar- rass his successor’s policy. As I was in the minority in that conference, it being four to one, I ee a conference in the evening, when other parties representing the demo- cratic side could be present. It was held in Mr. Evarts’ room, but he was not present. There were present at it Messrs. Sherman, Garfield, Foster, Denison, Matthews, Ellis, Levy, Watterson and myself. We discussed the whole condition of irs. REDMOND, THE OUTLAW, PROPOSES TO SUR- RENDER.—A telegram to the N. Y. Herald, from Greenville, 5. C.. me Your correspondent yesterday the moun- twenty-five miles north of this place, and alter great difficulty and fatigue secured an interview with the hunted man, Redmond, (the moonshiuer) last night in the fastneases of the mountain, and found him to bea young man of about twenty-six years old, with little of the appearance of an outlaw. He expresses himself ready to stand his trial; says he has done no more than his many companions, and has nothing to fear from a fair trial in an; court. He cannot understand why he shoul be singled out for vengeance, says he has been greatly slandered, and all his acts have been magnified by his pursuers in order that the Pursuit may be continued to their piofit. He says he has never killed but one man, and then in_ self-defence, several years ago, When a deputy marshal, who was one of his former ¢ompanions, tried to arrest him without a warrant and threatened his life with a pistol in order to compel him to surrender. From representations made to him by your correspondent it is probable that the outlaw willcome in voluntarily one this week ly me day and give himself up in open court. He prou declined to submit to arrest for his own pro- tection until he should reach the court room.

Lonpox, Augus' The Times rep ‘ints ti report of ‘the interview between Butler and Kearney, and has an editorial about them and the national party, in which it says of the lat- ter: “It might become a serious danger to the republic if it were possible for the diseontent- ed and ignorant masses who have attached themsclves to it to pool their issues and com: Dine against capital. There are, practicaily, n» imits in a democratic country to the pow: F of a majority, driven by strong passions, and huncre:s oi thousands of working men, who have felt the pirech of hard times, and teen thrown out of work or had to sub- sist ob lower wages, are urged by the most powerful forces to come together, as Kear- hey putsit,for bread and butter. But if is doubtful whether those who rave most ined agi inst society are not as firmly wedded, each of them, to his own theories of reconstruction as the most superstitious fanatics of the Old World creeds. The Zines then briefly sum- marizes the proceedings before Congressman Hewiit's committee, and concludes as follows “The United States would have more to fear from the Butlers and Kearneys if their fo- Jowers were less passionate, less ignorant of the p:actical limi ions of pi eal action, and less torn by internal jealousies.” Queen Christina Worse.

PoLiTicaL Ficnts at Farkrax Court Hovse.—The present contest now in progre-s i jongressional district has been more heated, and has occasioned more ill-feeling, and caused more personal collisions than any that has preceded it for many years past. At Fairfax Court House yesterday a difficulty that had commenced at the political meeting at Vienna a week before, between the Powells and the Wilcoxens, friends respectively of Messrs. Hunton and Neale, was renewed by one of the young Powells and old Mr. Wilcoxen, but Mr. Walter Powell, the father of the form- er, his other sons and some friends soon ral- lied to the support of the respective combat- ants, and fora short time sticks and stones flew about in the most lively manner. The two who had commenced the disturbance were Soon sprawling on the ground, and at one time as many asa dozen of their friends were in the same condition, while those who were standing were belaboring them with clubs or pelting them with rocks. A pistol was drawn during the melee by young Powell, but it was soon wrenched from his hand, and so, though old Mr. Wilcoxen was badly c} m the head and hand, nobody was seriously injured. The disturbance was so great that the pro seedings of the court were interrupted, and Judge Sang- ster had to leave the bench to assist those at- tempting to preserve order. Two of the Messrs. Puwell were subsequently indicted by the grand jury. Later in the day £. 0. Hine Was assaulted by a young farmer named Wells, anda fight took place between Messrs.

The most exciting racing event at Siratoga on Monday was the mile and three quarter dash, which was contended for by Dwyer Brothers’ Bramble, Doswell's Virginia elding Bush- whacker, Graham's Shyloe! rouse’s Mau- mee, T.'B. and W. R. Davis’ Kenney, and Hart's Henry Owens, The latter led for three- fourths of a mile, the pace being very slow and the time 1:28. At the first quarter post in the first mile Owens had an advant ofa half length. Bramble was second, Kenney third, Bushwhacker fourth, and Maumee fifth. In the second quarter Bushwhacker encour. aged his backers by rushing forward and taking the command, and at the half-mile Post he was half a length betore Bramble. Kenney third, Maumee fourth. In the third quarter Bramble pressed Bushwhacker, but was mani- festly not himself. Ail he could uo was to hang at the flanks of Bushwhacker. A litle be- ge the third quarter post, Fisher, on Bram- le, forced his colt to the utmost and tried to go by Bushwhacker on the outside. But he could not do this without interfering with Maumee, and he swung Bramble over to the | inside and attempted to dash vy Bushwhacker. The effort was a failure. There was no dash in the splendid colt that overcame his rivals so easily on Saturday. There was a great shout of surprise, and there were cries of ex {com Bushwhacker’s partisans, for it was now past question that the best of the eastern three-year olds, except Duke of Magenta, must lower his colors. Bushwhacker won by two lengths, in the slow time of 3.153%. Bramble second,’ Maumee third—three lengths behind Bramble. The others trailed in sou, with long gaps between tbem, Kenney being fourth, Shylock fifth, and Henry Owens sixth.
