The opinioa ¢ -ntains not only most erroueous deductions and conclusions as regards the status of ti.e "305 ids,” but several most remarkable misstatements of matters of fact and public record in connection with the same. We are in receipt of communications from corres- paccats and holders of these securities, (their tters based on the inclosed opinion,) showing that its misstatemenis are exerting a mo-t injurious effect on the credit of the-e bounds not only, but of all other securities of the District, and with a view to remove such erroneous impressions we respectfully ntre that you will request the Treasurer of the United States through the r official channels, to have issued an explicit statement of District indebtedness, in which the limita- tion of the 3-65 indebtedness, its special ex- emption, &c., shal stated. Also the per- manent ‘provisions for interest. and require- ments for the creation of a sinking fund for principal be stated. We have not hesitated to recommend the 3-65 bonds especially as a per- fectly secure investment secured by the faith of the United States. Therefore we feel it in- cumbent upon us to ask your co-operation to reassure investers who have put their means into these securities.” Treasurer Gilfillan will, as requested, pre. Pare an official statement of the District in- debtedness, the amount of 3165's in circula- tion, &c. It is pointed out that the opinion of Attorney General Schoonmaker, of New York. must be erroneous, when he says $30,000,000 of the bonds are out, as only $15,743, issued, and the act of March 11, prohibited their further issue.

[Editorial Correspondence of The Star.] CHaMoUnNY, August 27, 1878. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Hitz,who seems to know every inch of ground in Switz. erland, we have made a most interesting ex- cursion among the Bernese Alps, and the no- table points in northern Switzerland. Leaving Bern by rail we reached in an hour’s ride the quaint old town of Thun, situated on the rush. ing Aare (all the rivers in Switzerland are rushers), and commanding from its heights a view of the beautiful lake of its own name. Thun claims to be the head center of the weod carving business of Switzerland (though that industry seems to be all-prevalent), and vis’. tors are apt to spend a considerable portion of their time in sampling the various knit nacks in wood displayed in the shops. These shops are mostly along the peculiar old-time main street of Thun, and are elevated consid- erably above the carriageway; the sidewalk in front of them running over the roofs of a line of ware-rooms and work-shops on a level with the street. Louis Napoleon was a resi- dent of Thun for several years, before he be- came Emperor,and he does not appear to have left a very favorable impression as regards his morals. One of the traditions of Thun is that a strapping young citizen to whose aftianced Louis was paying pertinaclous attentions took him across his knee and gave him a spanking that effectually cured his love-making. UP LAKE THUN. At Thun our party was joined by Mrs. and Miss French, of Capitol Hill, for the Jungfrau portion of our trip. Leaving Thun by lake steamer for Interlaken we passed on our right one of the most delightfully placed residences I ever saw; the villa of M. de Rougemont, situated on the point at the junction of the Aare with the lake, and conimanding s superb view of snow-clad mountains and the beauti- ful waters of the Thun. To the left,on the lake, was another handsome residence, the chateau of Hunese , in the French renaissance style, and from which, it is said, “Castle Stew- art,” in Washington, was modelled. The exquisite and endlessly varied Unts of green in the waters of the lakes of Switzerland (with the exception of Lake Geneva, which is biue,) were pat caiany, noticeable at the foot of Lake Thun as we entered it, and the contrast of colors between the grim steep of the pyra- midal Niesen and other bold mountains bordering upon the lake was very striking There were still enough clouds hanging about the great Jungfrau group to hide their colossal peaks. but wer eck transitory views of the Snowy three-headed Blumlisalp. At Darligen, near the head of the lake, we took the cars for Interlaken, a short ride of ten minutes, in which the train makes no end of curves, and seems to be ali the time going around a corner. INTERLAKEN. Interlaken is a sort of Vanity Fair amongst the great wonders of nature in Switzerland. It has an outlook upon the Jungfrau; the climate is claimed to be specially mild and equable; the “whey cure” is supposed to be particularly efficacious here; it is a central point for excursions in the Oberland; and it has any number of booths and shops for tie | sale of trinkets, tozether with a fine band tor concerts, aud Dall-room purposes, so it hap- pene ee tourists, fashionables and invalids inger longer here thau at any other port. Naturally it is a good piace to meet people, and among the pumerous Americans we found here were Coil. E. C. Bouwiinot, Mr. Morrell, of Washington ; Mrs. Lony and others. + THE JUNGFRAU. Early the next morning we set out for Grindelwald and the Jungfrau, who for the first time disclosed her face fully to our view. We took carriages for Grindelwald, following up the swift glacier stream, the Black Lut- hine. It was a delightful ride. The exhilerat- g air, the resinous fragrance of the pines and firs, the pony Sunshine lighting up the vivid green of the dewy pastures and tiny fields, and the wondrous view of the snowy mountains rae directly above, and in sharp contrast with this bright verdure, all made a delicious banquet for the senses. There was alittle drawback, to be Sure, in the Way of the swarms of beggars that lined the road or ran by the carriage. They were of all are from the old women exhibiti their disgusting Swellings of goitre, to the infant just able to walk. The old crones got only moderate sympathy, but one little chubby, blue-eyed midget of a girl, with braided flaxen hair, who could scarcely toddle by the carriage as it crept up the mountain, got a shower of centimes,—a result doubtless calculated upon by her thrifty parents. Switzerland may, as claimed, have no recognized pauper class, she has an amazing number of beggars, half- fledged or full grown. Of course if will not do to judge the whole Swiss people by the speci- mens met in the highways of travel, but the inevitable impression left upon the mind of the casual tourist is that they are either a race of mendicants or that they want to get your money in some wiyl The little girls on the road with berries aud flowers to sell found willing customers, and the boys who ran by the horses and switched off the troublesome flies, also got some penvies. The ficod of Alpine travel is now at its heigh , and there were dozens of carriages and streams of pedestrians climbing the mountain road to Grindelwald. About half way Up we stopped at @ wayside restaurant to geta idueh. The attractions of the place were set forth on a sign in Swiss English (without punctuation, as usual), as follows: ‘Here one can view living chamois fresh milk and other refresh- ments.” a ittle rurther 6h theré was Another bidder for our patronage,-a robust fellow with an Alpine horn about a rod Jong. with which he blew a blast that waked all the echoes of the neighboring mountains. At Grindelwald (a village of three or four thousand inhabit- ants, herdsmen, wood-carvers and caterers for tourists) we paid our first visit to a glacier. Grindelwaid has two noe and the one we visited, called the “ Little Glacier,” is, ac- cording to the guide book, ‘‘four times larger than the other.” This ler, like most of the Swiss glaciers, is receding a good deal of late years, and does not make much of a fig- ure when seen from a distance, but when one gets under it, and into its grottoes and crev- ie 2 izing fred is oe eat of ope — lepths and proportions of these rivers of ice. The ride on mule-back to the vicinity of the paciet and the perpendicular scramble upon its front, served to give us _a ferocious appe- tite, and our brook-trout dinner at the Grin- delwald Hotel De L'Ours was unanimously voted ever tas.ed,—but we were very hungry. THE ASCENT OF MAUNLICHEN. After dinner we entered upon the ascent of Maunlichen, a mountain 7,200 feet high, facing the Jungfrau, and which, from its isolated po- sition, is considered by competent judges the best point of view obtainable of the Jungtrau group, but which isa little out of the track of the routine tourists. The ladies of our party were carried up in chairs, aud the resi of us took mules. The Maunlichen, though nearly @ thousand feet oe than Mount Washing. ton, in our White Mountains, is green witl verdure to the summit,while vegetation ceases two-thirds of the way up Mount Washington, The same fact, noticed in regard to other Swiss mountains, shows that the temperature is not nearly so low at the same elevation here as in our New England mountains. On our Way up we crossed the Itramen alp, thirty-five hundred acres in extent, where three or four hundred cows are pastured until about the 15th of September,when snow comes, and they are then driven down to the lower pastures. The world “ Alp,” it may be mentioned, does not mean in’ Switzerland a mountain, but'a mountain pasture. We reached the “Hotel Grindelwald-Rigi,” upon Maunlichen, about sunset. It is a little establishment where shel- ter and substantial fare are supplied at a not upreasonabie rate, considering that every- thing bas to be packed up to iton mules. The noramic view obtained from here | inthe wind,” it was.a sight to see. There was the grand mass of the Jungfrau, nearly four- teen thousand feet high; the Monch and the Liger, towering up to nearly the same height, aud apparently so near that one might throw a stone across the valley to them; and there was the Silberhorn looking like a cone of drifted snow; and the Wetterhorn thrusting its sharp spur high up in the blue air; and the perpendicular Gumihorn and the Tubihorn, and the Wellhorn, and the Schreckhorn, and the Lauteraahorn, and the Finisteraahorn, and the Viegcherhorn, and the Mittaghorn, and the Grosshorn and the Breithorn, and the ae en and the Gspaltenhorn, and the Dolaenhorn and the Schneehorn, and proba- bly several other horns, but about this time in the evening it got so chilly up there, 7,000 feet in the air with not a spark of fire, except a handfull of embers in a foot stove for the use of the ladies, that we were compelled to aban- don the search for mountain horns, and take a stiff horn of another description discovered in a wicker-covered flask, after which we went to bed for warmth, and piled all our overcoats and things upon pe top of the blankets and fluffy outside feather-beds of the establishment. OVER THE WENGERN ALP TO LAUTERBRUNNEN. The sunrise yiew from the peak of Maun- lichen, above the hotel, was magnificent. and the atmospheric effects in the vaileys particu- Jarly fine. The air was still and mild, and the sun gave @ pleasant warmth. The lowing of the hundreds of cows in the dew-sparkling tures below, and the musical tinkle of their lis, came up pleasantly. Some patches of snow on the mountain side seemed likely paces for snow-balls, but when reached what looked like snow was pretty solid ice. After a break fast of meat, bread, cheese, butter, coffee, and honey, (the latter always found upon the breakfast table in Switzerland, ) we set out for new wonders of mountain and valley, going down by another path to Shiedeck, the Wen- gern Alp and Lauterbrunnen. In this route we were passing for nearly the whole of a cloudless day along the front of the Jungfrau group, and they were photographed on our memory in enduring lines. We visited one of the mountain dairies on our way down, to see how Swiss cheese is manufactured. The pro cess was not calculated to inspire an appetite for that article. The entrance was through a cow-house, Where one’s steps had to be care- fully picked, and the cheese manufacture was going on in a dark cabin, foul with unpleasant smells, Two men superintended the boiling of the milk in a great kettle over a wood fire, and in another part of was turning a grindstone-shaped churn. A draught of fresh cream got here was not so bad, and no doubt thé mountain dairy- men turn out very good butter and cheese from their pores quarters. At Shei- deck, the culminating point of the pass between Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, we struck again the routine track of the tourists, and the path was almost as full of them,— men, women, and children, on foot, on mule- back and in chairs, as Pennsylvania avenue is of people after a matinee performance at the theaters. The ascent and descent between Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen by the bridle- ith is steep and fatiguing, though no end of ladies, and stout ones, too, were sweating up and down. English women and American women have taken the mania for Alpine climbing, and one sees them everywhere here, with Alpen stocks, short skirts,and stout boots; undertaking feats sometimes a good deal be- yond their strength. The Wengern Alp, where we stopped to dine at the Hotel Jungfrau, is the point where tourists going either way stop for an hour or two in the middle of the see the avalanches. It ts just opposite the pre- cipitous snow-laden sides of the Jungfrau, a famous place for avalanches, and so near that they “resemble a rushing cataract, and areac companied by a noiseflike thunder.” These avalanches are advertised to come down with fat frequency about noon, when the sun is hottest; but we loafed about there some time under asun hot enough to demand an um- brella without witnessing any thunderous cataracts of falling ice. There were two or three little fellows of the ten for-a-cent kind. but nothing to come up to the description of the guide book. Perhaps the avalanches are receding as well as the glaciers. WOULDN'T DRINK MARE’S MILK. It was a pretty tiresome trip down the Lauterbrunnen end of the pass, and we were glad to stop at the little ‘Hotel Mittaghorn” for lunch and rest. Our guides had been very obliging, all the way, practicing wrestlinz, finger-pulling and “‘yodeling” (the Swiss fal- setto minstrelsy) for our amusement, aud now one of them thought he would give us a treat We should really enjoy. He procured a piteher and proceeded to milk a mare in our caravan, and then came forward with a beaming fic3 to offer us some nice fresh mare’s milk. George O., who up to this stood it manfully in testing all the dishes and fluids of France and nd,—ths enigmatic soups and stews, vinegary wines, and the cheese of all consistencies from leather to mush,—now broke out in revolt. Drink mare’s milk he would not, and he picked up his cane and stalked off ahead down the mountain, with the air of one who had his own opinion of mare’s milk drinkers. Some of us tasted the milk. It was not not disagreeable, but was somewhat sweeter than cow’s milk. Lauterbrunnen, We are told, means “noth ag but ones and there are twenty or thirty waterfalls here, including the Stauppach Which descends 980 feet, and, like the “Bridal Veil” in our Yosemite Valley, is converted into spray long before it reaches the ground; it gets the name of Staubbach, ({dust- Brook,’ | which is not as insipid as “Bridal Veil,” though it is not by any manner of means as beautifull a fall as the last named. The most striking thing about Lauterbrunnea is the pertinacity of the venders of wood- carvings. Unlike the general courtesy of the Swiss, they were almost insolent when the purehase of their wares was declined. We completed the circuit to Interlaken by a car- riage ride down the White Lutschine; having gone up to Grindenwald by the other’ branch, the Black Lutschine. At Interlaken we parted with our pleasant and intelligent compaaio Mrs. and Miss French, who returned to their boarding place at Thun. Mrs. French, who has been quite an invalid, has improved eon- siderably in Switzerland. GIESSBACH. Every tourist in Switzerland goes to the Giessbach, and so went we It is ou Like Brienz, a short steamer trip from icterlaken.

OVER THE BRUNIG. Crossing by steamer from the Giessbaeh to the little village of Brienz we took the dili. gence there to go over the Brunig pass to Alp- nach,on Lake Lucerne,and thence by steamer to Lucerne. This admirably built road over the Brunig is a government post-road and the diligences are post-carriages. The public con- | veyances for travelers are all managed by the overnment in Switzerland. They area little slow, according to American notions, but are very well manaced, otherwise. The govern- ment owns the carriages.and contracts for the use of the horses, The idea is in contracting only for the horses to give employment to the horses owned by people of moderate means, who could not enter into a contract for car- riages and horses, involving large capital. The Swiss government is a paternal govern ment, and representing a people of no great Wealth, looks out for the interests of labor. The government employs the driver and con- ductor of the diligences, and the latter is the Mail agent. The Swiss government diligence system works so well that the Italian govern- ment has employed it in northern Italy to make the connections with its own lines of railroads and steamboats. In winding up the romantic road to the Brunig pass we overlook the lake and notice in particular the care with which the fierce river Aare has been trained to run in a direct line between high walls of stone to prevent it from carrying destruction to the neighbor- ing meadows by flooding them with gravel and debris from the mountain glaciers. I these glacier rivers are being walled in or ‘analised” in this way to keep them withia bounés, but in times of heavy floods they fre quently smash their walls and cover hundreds of farms many feet deep with stone rubtish. The patient, industrious Swiss have a hard fight with nature; fi bits of arable land from the rugged waste, nd then in holding them against flood and anche. In our country when a stream | rflows its banks it generally leaves some tilizing material as compensation. but the Streams in Switzerland deposit nothing but | barren grit or coarser stone. There were | some beggars on the road over the Brunig, by not such @ swarm as on the Grindelwald r and also numerous Je girls with tiny bas kets of A’pine berries, and specimens of th= mblematic glacier flower of tverland, the | celweiss,” for sale. Descending the othe ide of the pass by a series of scientific zigza that maintained an uniform fall of grade, w came to the lake of Lungern, which has been | lowered 120 feet by digging a tunnel 4,000 feet in length, by which much ground has been re claimed. "It is now proposed to lower some of the other Swiss lakes that have marshy bor- ders; but the amount of debris that is brought down every year by the glacier streams seems to be filling them pretty rapidly. We were now inthe canton of Unterwalden and no- ticed the change of costume in the peasant women, who were in their Sunday dress. The head-dress was odd: the hair was wound up in plaits and fastened by large silver shield- shaped pins, and the plaits were interwoven with white ribbon. They wore no other cover- ing to the head, and Hogg d did not wish to spoil the effect of the elaborately built up head dress. In one of the villages we met a little procession, headed bya priest ina tall hat, on the way to give communion to a sick mab. Our road was now lined almost contin- uously by avenues of old ar trees, apple trees and walnut trees. In the afternoon the clouds began to gather ominously about the mountain Lops, and the peasant population, dofling their Sunday clothes, were seen every- where hurrying to the hay fields. Whole tam- illes were en; in the work of rescuing the Seantily-dried crop from the coming storm ; the women and children raking it up, and the men carrying it in bundles upon their backs tothe barns. Itisso showery in Switzerland that the people must have a hard time of it to dry their hay. We noticed on the roads here the same continuous throng of tourists, on | foot, in carriages, and on mule-back, we had | seen elsewhere, showing immense amount of | tourist travel in Switzerland during the | son.

At half-past two o'clock this morning the flooding of the pit Was commenced. the fire wi within short distance of the bottom of the shaft, and all hope of further rescue had to be abandoned.

The collier employe: pwards of a thousand hands, ol whom 373 taking their turn or “Lift,” went gown at 11 o'clock in the morning. Twenty- one of this number came up at noon, up to which time nothing had occurred to create suspicion or —. At 12 p. m. a loud rumb- ling noise was heard, quietly followed by a flash of fame from the pit’s mouth, ai a column of smoke, dust and debris ascending high into the air. The explosion damaged the winding gear, thus destroying the only means of communication with the men in the pit. AS soon as the gearing could be repaired working parties were sent down the shaft, and eighty- two men and boys, working within a few hun- dr diyards of the shaft, were rescued. But it became evident, as attempts were made to acvance into the workings, that Dut little hope could be entertained of = life surviv- ing. About four hundred yards from the bot« tom of the shaft are stakes, and here fourteen. horses were found, all dead. Beyond this point the explorers could not go on account of te sored of the air and the prevalence of choke damp. Volunteer explorers succeeded in bringing out ten or twelve men, very much burnt, and also seven dead bodies ; it is feared that no others can be for the present, because of the fire extending, and there |remain¢ uo reasonable hope that any further lives will be saved. The whole district of Monmouth- shire is much excited, and it seemed last night as if the entire fema © population of the dis- vie! had gaihered about the mouth of the siaft. Trying to Beat Botler.
