ALL SILVER BULLION for coinage purpose is now purchased in this country. Until re y large quantities were bought in Lon- don. ow the government cas secure al! the vullion it wants from native holders, buyi the London rate. Most of it is purchased i San Francisco and New York. It isa little singular that though paid for in the standard silver dollar very few, indeed, of that coin, get into circulation in this way. The sellers take silver certificates instead. In a recent transaction in San Francisco over three mi!- lion ounces of silver were bought by the su- perintendent of the mint, who gave in pay- ment therefor a check on the Assistant Treas- urer there for the bullion’s equivalent in st: dard silver dollars. The holder of the ch<c presented it at the assistant treasury, and without moving his dollars redeposited them and received silver certificates for the amount.

Capt. Cobaugh went to Alexandria and found the body anchored alongside the wharf. It had been brought up from Fort Foote, near which [one Mr. Kirby, a resident in the vicinity, ad discovered it floating in the river. It was rea’ ly disfigured and swollen.

PARIS TO SWITZERLAND BY THE TRAVERS VAL- LEY—HOW THEY SPEAK ENGLISH AT PON- TARLIER—BERN AND THE BERNESE — THE SWISS CONGRESS—EXTRA SESSION ALL ABOUT A RAILROAD SUBSIDY— BABEL OF LA GUAGES—BERNESE BEARS, FOUNTAINS, OGRES, CLOCKS, ARCADES, GARDENS, RES- TAURANTS, WOODS, WATERS, RED-CUSHIONS, PRETTY GIRLS. BEER, CHEESE, SUBLIMITIES, AND COMMUNES. [Editorial Correspondence of The Star.) CHaMoURY, Aug. 23, 1578. Our party of four (George M. Oyster, Ru- dolph Kavffmann. Charles T. Ely, and self) came from Paris to Switzerland by the way of Dijon, Pontarlier, and Neuchatel to enjoy the renowned view onthe Travers valley, enter- ing Switzerland, and the initial view of the Mt. Blane group from near Neuchatel. The valley view was allright, but Mt. Blane and suite were not visible; though the green Jura range, with storm-clouds hanging over them, afforded a prospect sufficiently interesting. The finer portion of the valley scenery is be- tween Pontarlier, the French frontier station, and Neuchatel. At ‘Hotel de la Posie,” Pon- talier, where we stopped, there was the usual sign ‘English spoken here,” but it was ade- lusion. The landlady, the waiters and all spoke French and nothing else; and pretty certainly the only Engl sh spoken there is the swearing of English-speaking people over the deception. However, hungry travelers, and landiords having food to sell, can gener- ally come to an understanding somehow, and we got what we needed. The Travers valley road winds along a mountain side by some notable feats of engineering, disclosing at every curve some feature of wonderfw beauty In the green and closely cultivated va'- ley below. Near Neuchatel we came in site of the quarries from which the limestone asphalt is obtained, with which our Peunsylvania ave- nue is paved from 6th street to th Capitol. ‘These quarries are owned by an English com- pany. Whe asphalt is used quite extensively fh Europe for paving purposes, and especially for sidewalks, but is copsidered too hard, in its natural state, for carrlageways, and’ {s mixed largely with gravel and other sub- stances. The hill sides in the region of Neuch- atel were covered for miles with the vines that produce the Neuchatel wine, but, a3 is the case With most of the wine-growing countries of Europe, the vines are cut low and trained to short sticks, and have no more grace than so many pea-vines, It is interesting always in Switzerland, however, to note the ingenious way in which the vineyards are built upon ter- races on the mountain sides, and every inch of ground utilized. At Lys the names on the railway station changed from French to Ger- man, and we entered upon our first experi- ence of the Babel of tongues that prevail in Switzerland. The cottages or chalets now be- gan to have an air of neatness, lacking in the #rench territory. There were new houses, or new roofs to old ones, and everywhere indica- tions of Swiss thrift. Here and there along the meadows were great (oe of peat, cut in cubes, and piled up like bricks, to dry in the sun. 1 may add that the sun was decidedly hot between Neuchatel and Berp, and we have found touches of warm enough weather all through Switzerland, even in the higher val- leys, directly under the glaciers. BERN. The guide books, dwelling upon the big fea- tures of Swiss scenery, do not make very much of Bern, but to me it has proved one of the most interesting points 1 Switzerland. Its elevated, picturesque situation, quaint build- ings, beautiful surroundings; its grand view of the Bernese ape and its character as the political capital of the sister republic, all give attractiveness. Here we had the good for- tune to meet Mr. Join Hitz, who as Swiss Consul General has so ably represented Switzerland in the United States for many years, and who seems to be as highly appre- acon Bern as he is with usin Wasuing- jon. A VISIT TO THE SWISS CONGRESS. The Swiss Congress, or“ Federal Assembly,” consisting of the National Council, and the Council of the States, corresponding in some degree to our House and Senate, is now hold- ing an extra session, and Mr. Hitz took us upon the floor of the National Council, where we had an excellent opportunity to observe the workings of the popular branch of the republic. ‘his lower ranch (which, how- ever, is considered here the higher, and in which the seats are more sought) consists of one hundred and thirty-five deputies, one for every 20,000 of the population, or certainly one from each canton, The Council of the States, composed of forty-four deputies, two from each canton, was not in session at the time of our visit. The Swiss Congress, after the fash- ion of the Swiss people, commences its work early in the day, 8a. m., but adjourns early, also, at 12/4 p. m.; though it sometimes holds afternoon sessions. The question for consid- eration at this extra session of the Congress is that of a subsidy or an increase of subsidy for the St. Gothard tunnel, by which a direct line is to be made between Germany, northern Switzerland and Rome. As Ger- many and Italy are alike interested with Switzerland in the construction of this road and tunnel, the three countries have con- tributed each a quota for the purpose + but it Seems that, as sometimes in other parts of the world, the appropriation forthe work has been exhausted and it is not completed, so thereisa call upon the ours ba ie CountEAss) for more money. Now in Switzerland, where wonder- fully close economy is exercised in the expen- diture of public money, (though the roads, school buildings, and public works of all kinds are of the best,) there is some demur to an additional appropriation in this case; espe- cially from the cantons not particularly inter- ested in the tunnel, and as several members of the Federal Assembly are stockholders in the St..Gothard railroad, there is a pretty lively controversy on hand, and the aforesai stockholding members have to run the gaunt- let of some decidedly hard knocks in tae de- bates. There is no charge of dishonesty in the matter, but simply one of blundering on tha art of the engineer of the road, for who:3 incapacity the stockholders are held responsi- ble. It does not seem either, to be considered any discredit of the credit mobilier sort, for a member of the Swiss Congress to be a stock- holder in this road. On the contrary, as a Pational work of importance it is held to be rather a matter of public spirit to engage in its construction. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS IN FOUR LAN- GUAGES. The interest in the proceedings toa stranger is much increased by the fact that they are carried on in three, and even four, different languages,—German, French, Italian and Romonsch, the peasant Latin, as old as the times of Julius Cesar. The German, however, predominates, something in proportion to the preponderance of population of Teutonic origin ; ue pe to a re coun! ing sev an 18 subdivided into Gallic, talian clans. It appears, further, that the medley of languages spoken in Switzerland has undergone so much change that a French- Man cannot understand Swiss French any more na German can understand Swiss German. The Swiss have been coneisely de- seribed asa race apart, having no langange of their own; no common code; no public debt; no Kings: nosubjects: no noble class; nopau- per cl ; no standing army; no official church. TRANSLATORS NEEDED. It is a part of the duties of the secretaries of the Swiss Congress to act as translators. The Speeches of members are not translated, how- ever, but only the decisions of the presiding officer, and the bills, resolutions, &c., offered. The translation is made verbally,and off hand, the momeut the president concludes his re- marks, and there is therefore not so much delay in the work of translation as might be supposed. There is a translator for each lan- guage, and the head secretary, Herr Schi: whe has held his office for Thirty years, thas rendering one language into another verbally with phonographic precision and rapidity. In one lle we were present, where the president made a statement of the condition of the business before the Council, involving a ch of some ten minutes’ length, this repeated it in German (the President being French) almost word for word. The members who took part in the debate sometimes slid from one ian- guage to an ir, as if to e -the: understood on all sides of the chamber. The ech-makii nerally fluent, Among. the French i "Dut soewed “to tS i one crtwo hours being const red short; fered ex- ceptionally long. There are very few lawyers in the Con: ress; the Swiss people having the | bad or good taste to object to them as legisia- tors.

The members are elected by the Federal | Assembly for a term of three years, and they superiniend the administration of the differ | ent departments, finance, commerca, post an.i telegraph (for in Switzerland the telegraph lines are managed, and admirably managed by the government). justice, military, interiorand soon. This Council of Seven elect one of their number as president, and the preseat incum- bent, Dr. Karl Schenck, of Zurich, has served four terms. t this precedent should excite alarm in our own republic, I make haste to add that the terms are only one year, each, ant that the President has no great power. The Federal Council like the British Cabinet take part in the proceedings of the natioual con eress. Another celebrity is Simon Kaiser, a een-eyed erratic-haired deputy from Solo- thurn, who is described as a sort of Ben. Butler in the way of making things lively in the Swiss congress. He seemed rather a mild article of the B. B. persuasion, but perbaps it was not one of bis busy days. Deputy Stampfii, of Bern, a quiet thoughful looking personage is the man to whom the United States are in- debted for his sturdy and effective services in her behalf on the Alabama claims commission. The members have a practical common sense aspect. and from the fact that they are re- | | | quired to dress in black (at least to the ex- | tent of a black coat) are a rather sedate look- ing body. None of them had their legs ou their desks; there was apparently no base- ment restaurant to supply “cold tea” or other refreshments ; they have no previous question ; fitlibustering is not tolerated, and altogether they don’t seem to have many privileges The pages were quite in accord with the general gravity of the chamber. They were a} ded old men, and wore large siiver The newspapers of Switzerland were quite fully represented by reporters, who seemed, however, to make only very brief ab- stracts of the proceedings. The accommoda. tions for the reporters appeared rather inferior aud they were scattered here and there in chance corners in the galleries and below. It would Eppes the likeliest thing in the world that with such a diversity of race and religion in the Swiss Congress there should be sharp lines drawn and bitter controversies upon matters of creed and origin: but I was told | that they get along very amicably iozether— Protestants, Catholics, French-Swiss, Italian- Swiss, and German-Swiss ail working in unity for the common good. Thus, ina body where the Teutons have a majority, the presiding officer is French. OTHER MATTERS. It is said that there is not a bad hotel or a bad road in Switzerland. This is, perhaps. putting it rather strong, but the Bernerhot where we stayed in Bern, is certainly up to the mark, and there isa suflicient reason why; the two proprietors and their wives are at the table in person to see that the guests are well served. T too. in a first ciass hotel, with rooms and appointments in the best style. In other leading hotels in Switzerland the hosts are not above waiting upon their guests at table. After a wellcerved early dinner we started out to see various objects of interest, ircluding, of course, the bears of Bern, for bear is the embem of the city, from which the name comes; and by the bequest of a patriotic Bernese lady a perpetual fund was been established for the support of some representative bears. The bears on hand are nothing remarkable of their kind, however, and have been apparertly so much overfed by visitors that they don’t show off worth a cent. We soon left them to see things of livelier in- terest—the famous clock where a whole troop of mechanical bears, assisted by a rooster, a harlequin, and Father Time with his hour. glass, go through some curious evolutions every hour; the streams of mountain wa‘er running down the streets as in Sait Lake City the red cushions in the balconied window: where the Bernese !adies sitof an evening: the long arcades along the streets, where you may walk for miles 1n the shade and do your shopping; the double and triple terraces of streets, one above another on the abrupt ¢'iffs, lined with unique old time houses; the preity Bernese girls in their saucy gipsy hats and costume to match ; the Ogre fountain where a hideous old child-eater has a bag-full of squirming youngsters for a hot dinner, and is swallowing one for lunch; the quaint oid market pl where the country people dis- play their products; the romantically situated restaurant gardens, commanding such mag- nificent views of mountain and valley that one partakes of the sublime and the eatable— ger, Limburger and grandeur, all at once. Most enjoyable of all was the carriage ride Eirougithe diversified environs of Bern. The river , flowing one hundred feet below, makes a loop about the city, and with its reen meadows in one direction, and bold ee in the other, lends a great charm to the view. A SOLID CITIZEN OF WASHINGTON UNDER- TAKES TO WIELD A FLAIL. We stopped at a dairy-farm house to get some fresh milk, and to see some of the fea- tures of Swiss farm-life. Three young men and a girl were threshing wheat in primitive style with flails on the barn floor. They han- dled the flails with great dexterity, and one of our Washingtonians—he is a worthy man and Ispare his name—was inspired to try “flail. ing” himself, it looked so easy, but he struck out so wildly that the by-standers scattered with the greatest alacrity (the girl ahead) ex- cept one of the rustic threshers, who got him- self doubled up in such a purple-fi cramp of iaugreer that he could not get out of harm's way. It became, therefore, a duty to disarm our esteemed tellow-citizen of his deadly flail and to lead him away to a recompensing bow! of new milk. COMMUNISTIC FORESTS. Part of our ride was on the skirt of an ex- tensive forest owned by the municipality of Bern. The trees have been carefully planted and trained, and the sale of the wood and tim- ber brings a large income. The poor people are allowed to take away any dead branches that fall, and we saw several women Gragging off parcels of wood they had gathered. Tne forest must have been gleaned pretty closely, for itwas as clear of sticks, twigs, or even. chips as if it had been raked. A large eae tion of the wood land and nd of Switzerland is the property of the communes or municipalities. The wood is cut and as- Sorted under the heads of log-wood, limb- wood and brush-wood, and is either sold at auction for the common fund, or is divided equally among the members of the commune. 6 communes of Switzerland are not at all of the sort usually understood by the term, They are close, conservative corporation: very tenacious of the rights of property. an: admitting no one to membership who does not pay for the privilege. In communes like Bern and Lausanne, owning large tractsof land and forest, the price of ad. ion is higher than in the poorer communes. C. 8.

DUTIES TO BE COLLECTED ON SUCH PACKAGES. The treatment by the government of duti- able books sent here from abroad through the mails is a much-discussed subject, but is not one that appears to be generally understood. It is = that no accurate estimate will ever made of the extent to which mail trains coming to this city have been weighed down by complaints and criticisms from Amer- icans and foreigners with grievances arising from this ignorance. The buik of these com: munications come to the Post Office depart- ment, and life is becoming a burden to _- he department has in consequence determined to take measures to check the correspondence on the subject and to give postmasiers and the public as full information as possibie rela- tive to the treatment of dutiable books and printed matter received in the mails from for- eign countries. For this purpose a circular will be issued containing copies of the regula- tions and recent instructions of the Treasury department for the treatment of such matter by collectors of customs, and defining as far as possible the limits of the discretion to be d_ by customs officers in regard to the ssion free of duty of smail books or backets of printed matter which haye not a dutiable value of more than one dollar. By the laws of the United Siates books are du tiable articles. Thovg books are expressly mentioned as included within the seope of the provisions of the international postal treaty, a subsequent article of the same treaty men tions with other kinds of matter excepted from the list of mailable articles, all that are subject to customs duties. Hence, speakiuz generally, books or printed matter unot come from abroad into the United Siates by means of the mails. Such matter sent by per- sons in Europe Who were misied by the terms eaty & ecuscoms c treasury off The international postal bureau at tthe proper course was to to the senders as unmail- y sinee been done with cer- tain modi ions, leaning to the side of mer- cy. The Post Office department cireular now in the hands of the printer, gives the treasury regulations, which authorize these slit bead. ings from the strict enforcement of the iw. The first document quoted 1s treasury cirew lar wumber fl, dated June 1S, 1si8, wien was issued after much correspondence bet weey the Treasury and Post Ofice departm and which directs that unsealed packa newspapers from foreign countries u ceeding in weight two pounds threé our may be delivered to the persons to whom th are addressed at the post offices, without de tention by officers of the customs, provided the postal authorities i United States exchange ilices, when such pack- ages are received from abroad, declare that the packages consist of newspapers or of periodicals entitled to pass ia the il ewspapers.

A letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Posi- master General, dated September 2d, 187%, re- sulted, which constitutes the last quotation of the proposed circular. It explains the Treas. ury rules which permit customs officers to exercise 2 discretion as to remitting the cus- toms du\ics cn any articles of merchandise whose dutiable value is more than one dollar. It statesthat as arule no books whatever are exempt from customs duties because of their importation through the mail, but that the general regulations of the Treasury depart- ment permit customs officers to exercise a discretion as to admiiting free of duty articies of merchindise of less dutiable yalue than one dollar, which applies to books as well as to other articles, whether coming through the mails or otherwise ; but it is not presumed that this discretion will be exercised except in the case of single copies of books transmitted for the use of private persons, and sent in good faith for that pur- ose. The upshot of the matter, though hard- Ay factory, is net difficult to understand, ersons sending books from abroad to ths country by mail will have them returned un- delivered if their dutiable value exceeds one dollar, or if the custom-house official, in the exercise of his discretion, decides for any rea- son that the duty shail not be remitted. If there is any ground whatever for believiny that the book is intended for trade, and not for private use, it will certainly fail to reach its destination District Government Affairs.
