SUBSCRIPTIONS to the tour per cent. loan to- day amounted to$: AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT prepared at the Treasury department gives the amount of duties collected in coin during the year ending June 30, 1ST7, at $128,828,764, and the aggregate receipts from all sources in coin and currency art 24,409.16. The number of persons em- ployed in collecting 1s 3,565, The average per- centage of cost was four and one-centh per cent., and compared with the previous year there was a saving of $731 8. IT 1S SUGGESTED that the republicans, in getting out their caricatures on fiat money bearing some resemblance to national bank notes, render themselves as liable to arrest as the merchants who put out advertisements ia the same form. ALL DEAD Except ONE.—Information has been received at the P. O. department that all the employes in the post office at Vieksbure are sick or dead except one. Authority has been sent by telegraph to employ four addi- tional clerks, THE AMOUNT OF SILVER DoLLans ordered to-day is $53,844. This i$ about the avei amount taken every day under the late cir lar of the department taking the place of all others. These daily orders aggregate about a million and a half’ dollars gotten out of the Treasury per month. Most of 1t remains in actual circulation, though some of it returns in the payment of customs duties. Acting Postmas- ter General Tyner has received a letter from amember of the state republican committee of Ind ment in consequence: eal as enthusiastic as ever, and the pros} capluring the legislature and gaining one member of Congress are as encouraging as they were before the Maine eleclion. PrRrsONAL.—Madame Durand, better known to the world of letters and readers as Henry Greville, has made a contract with Miss Helen Stanley, a Maryland young lady long resident in France, and Paris correspondent of the New York Evening Post, whereby she will here- after translate all of the Henry Greville nove! from the original greed in French, into English, for their publication in America si- mulianeously with their appearance in Paris. ....Mr. W. H. Smith, chief clerk of the Bureati of Steam Engineering, Navy department, has returned to the city and resumed his duties. «:.-Col. L. Q. Washington has returned to the city from the White Suiphur springs. TRE SvccessoR or HON. EpwarRD Mc- PUHERSON, as chief of the bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing, will be a man who has al- ready attained a position in public life, and whose record as a man of business qualifica- tions is excellent. Pennsylvania thinks the lace belongs to her, partly because she has fess than her quota of public officers, and poy because Mr. McPherson himself was a ennsylvanian, and should be succeeded, they think, by a man from his own state. INFLATION ILLUSTRATED.—The mutilated paper currency redeemed at the Treasury is by maceration reduced toa pulp. From this paper weights and images of various kinds aremade. The artist who does this work con- templates getting up an inflation image to suit the greenbackers. It will be a staue of Mercury, the god of thieves. As representa- tive of inflation, it will be of heroic size, of cou! It may have a cast in one eye. Mer- cury will have a carpet bag full of paper money in one hand, his wings will be ragged, and behind him will lay a field of land badiy in need of cultivation. CONFESSED JUDGM: ‘Special Agent Car. ter telegraphs to the Land Oflice that a third defendant in the timber cases before the Mis- sissippi courts has confessed judgment. ‘th- three surveys sent out by the Land Oitice are bringing to light extensive trespasses on the public land. THE MAINE GOVERNOKSHIP.—It appears from the official figures that the fourth eligibie candidate in the Maine gubernatorial election in the legislat.ze is Dr. Frederick ‘v. Robie. a prominent republican. He stanc well in his profession and community, and has been a member of the Maine legislature in past years. He received 7 votes for governor. There were several other persons who polled a few votes, but out- side of those cast for the regular nominees his yote is the highest. He is hardly obscure enough to make a model “dark horse,” but his chances in the race are not to be despised. MR. DoMINICK Murpny, the father of the Murphy brothers, the well-known Congress phonographers, died in Philadelphia on Tues- day evening. He was one of the oldest mauu- eaerincrs of Kensingtoa, and an esteemed citizen. VICTIMS OF WRECKED STEAMBOATS.—The report of Supervising Inspector of Steamboats Burnett, of St. Louis, states that there has not in the past two years been a single casualty attended with loss of life in that district. Tne district in which the most lives have been lost is New York. Init two hundred pgople have met their deaths by accidents to steamers or by their wreck. The majority of these two hundred perished on the Metropolls. ee THE Eads JETTIES APPROPRI ATION- gress, at its last session, appropriated $500,000, to be paid Captain Eads, in monthly instal- ments, for material furnished, labor per- formed and expenses incurred in prosecuting work on the Mississippi jetties. Under this Captain Eads, some time ago, made his first application to the Treasury for an advance. ie question of paying the money came in its official course to Second Auditor Austin. Mr. Austin refused its payment on the ground that the money was only to be advanced for mate- rial after it was used. . Eads was dis- satisfied, and claimed that material on the pane. under the eye of the engineer officer In charge of the work, was as good asif used, and that he was entitled to his advance under the act making the appropriation. The ques- tion was referred to Attorney General Devens for his opinion. The Attorney General has transmitted it to the Secretary of War. He overrules, in toto, the decision of Auditor Austin, and says that Captain Eads is entitled to money for the material on the ground Teady to be used. The amount of the first insta’ to be paid the Lie haat of the jetties will be determined by the estimates of the engineer in charge of the work. THE GRaIN Crops IN FRANCE.—The U. 8. consul at Lyons has forwarded to the Depart- ment es State a report concerning the grain crops of the present season in the followi departments: "the Rhone, Isere, Haut-Loire: Haute-Alps, Drome-Loire, Saone et Loire, Ain, Loire, HautiSavoie and Andeche, em: bracing an area of about 22,000 square miles and containing a prea of over 4,000,000.

NavaL ORDERS.—Lieutenant Commander Richard P. Leary is ordered to the Pensa- cola, at the navy yard Mare Island, Cal. 5th October, as executive; Lieutenant Newton E. Mason to the reerulting ship 8t. Lou Pectin oe teers bert Moses ‘Assistant Engineer Arthur Fete Ts detached His Version of the Political Sitna- tion—Financial Teat—Gen ofher matters. Hon. Eugene Hale, of Maine, chairman of the republican congressional campaign com- mittee, was at the headquarters of the com- mittee, on F street, yesterday, when a STAR reporter asked him what was the position of his committee on THE FINANCIAL ISSUES? Mr. Hale tenderly adjusted his right leg, which is lame from a fall, and answered: “ Our position is now the same that the repud. liean party has always held.” ‘Star:—Then you do not contemplate any change in the conduct of the campaign, based. on the election in your state? Sir. Hale:—We do not. I know there has been a good deal of talk, recently, about a ange of base by the republican party on nancial tssues, but there is nothing in it. We will keep to our old programme. ‘fhe speak- ers that chis committee are sending out wes: to ele in the canvass are some of the same, and all of them hold the same views, a3 thoss who made the fight for us in Maine. Mr. Gorham and I have agreed upon this. They are the kind of men to make our fight out west for scund money and a redeemable currency. NO CONCESSIONS TO GREENBACKERS. Star:—Then, you do not propose to make ssions tothe greenbackers? _ We will not go out of our way in the least degree or make any overtures whatever to the greenback party. . St In a district where tie republican party could, by supporting the greenback can- didate, defeat the democratic nominee, would the committee counsel such a course: . Hale:—\t would not. An honest financial policy the one upon which we must make the fight. The standard whi Maine inust not be lowere issnes—His Own 8 ws we would lose moral strength and gain ho votes. At that kind of zamethe dem>- erats could al 's beat us. Our only path of safety is to keep right ic. MR. GORIAM’S RECE Star-—M view from that you hold, Mr. Hale. do not believe in a id in that wh views, . soriau has been severely criti- cad by some of is own parly for that speech, le. good deal that peech, which only wever. he has: but as I said be- ‘ould like to have it clearly ua- derstood—that speech represents only Mr. Gorham’s personal views. J would also like to say that Mr.Gorham has not dictated in any manner whatever to thiscommittee. The tatements that he is trying to do so are not true. He is not trying, nor has he tried, to force his yiews upon the committee. The complaints made against him are without cause. He has done noble work for the com- mittee and for the party. Every republican ought to be grateful to him. TIONAL BANK NOTES VS. GREENBACKS. Stai ir. Hale,do you agree with some members of your party who think that it would be the better plan to retire national al notes and substitute greenbacks for em: #Hale:—1 do not. I am totally opposed to such a course. The speeches we are send- ing west are also orposed to such legislation. ‘We will make a decided stand on this issue. GEN. BUTLER'’S CHANCES. Star:—You are directly from New England, and have paid some attention to General Butler's campaign and movements. What do you think of the General's prospects? Hale:—There is (oe fear that with his par- ty, which is absorbing the democratic party, and such other followers as he may have, he may capture the state. Sta7:—Do you think his chances:are good vernor’s chair? e:—I do. The only way of making his defeat absolutely certain is for the hard money democrats to unite with the republican party. The performances at the convention which bomiuated Bulter at Worcester, the other day, ought to teach them that they should unite with the republicans, Star:—Do you expect that they will? Hale:—1 do. 1 think that many of them will be found voting with the ee pariy, not only in Massacuusetts, but in other states. THE RESULT IN MAINE DUE TO HARD TIMES. Star:—To what do you attribute the result in Main ‘o very hard times; the great pros- Hale:—T tration of most of the industries and to the fact that on finances the people of the state have had uo education for the bes twenty- five years. They have been fighting the bat tles of politics on other issues altogether. It is now the mission of the republican pariy to educate them on the financial question. This it willdo. It may take one year, two years or ten years, but it will accomplish the mission. ‘Star:—Did the attitude of your party towards the ppeaucont: have anything to do with the result? Hale:—It did not enter into the fight. RESULT OF THE MAINE ELECTION. Star:—Do you think the result will help the greenback movement in other states? Hale:—It will give it an impetus for the present; but I do not think it will discourage the honest-money people of the Boe A Star:—Does your committee feel discour- aged on account of the result? Hale:—We do not in the least. I consider our prospects fine. Our party is full of fight all around—many of us more so now than ever. The Rebellious Cheyennes. OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM GEN. SHEKIDAN. The following dispatch was received at the War department this morning: CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 19, 1875. General BD. 8. Townsend, Washington. D. C.: On the 9th of this month, about three hun- dred of the southern Cheyenne Indians, at their agency at Fort Reno, broke away from the agency, leaving their tents and property behind. They were immediately pursued by the troops. Capt. Rendlebrock, with two com- penis of the fourth cavalry, coming up wich hem last Friday at or near Cimarron. An en- fasement took place, in which his command lost three men killed, and three wounded and several horses wounded. The attack was un: successful, and Captain Rendlebrock fell back towards Camp Supply, reporting that he engaged one hundred and thirty In- dian warriors, who surrounded and attacked him while their families moved on north. Preparations have been made by Generai Pope to meet theses Indians at or near the crossing of the Arkansas and along the line of the Kansas Pacific railway, also in Devart- ment Platte song aud north of the Union Pacific railroad. There is pong hope that the troops will be able to meet with them and capture or eed them. The Indians have for their principal grievance insufficient food and irregularity in its delivery; then the un- wise permis ion given to the Arapahoes to live out uearthe Big Horn mountains, the Chey- ennes claiming to have as much right to live there asthe Arapahoes. It is important for the peace of the plains and the success of the reservation system that these Indians be captured, and every effort will be made to ac- complish that purpose.

On yesterday's limited express train from | New York city there arrived in Washington the Chinese Embassy, which for some weeks has been at Hartford, Conn. The party cov- sisted of his Excellency Chin Lan Pin, first plenipotentiary to the United States, Spain and leru, who is charged with the work of organizing a Chinese consniar and diploma ic service; Yung Wung, second plenipotentiar Mr. Yeb, first secretary of the legation; M Yung, second secretary: Mr. Bartlett, Amer can secretary, who will take up his residence in Washingion with the legation; seven at- taches, who have been educated I espe- cially prepared for the consular service, and | three servants. Upon their arrival they were escorted in carriages to the residence rented for their use at the corner of 20th and F streets. It is a large and commodious honse, with Deautiful grounds in the rear, kept in tiae order. RESTING. To-day the members of the embassy have kept in their rooms, peice fatigued by their journey. and were not ‘at home” to visitors. hey will not be presented at the State depart- ment until after the formal presentation to the President next week. All of the party except Yung Wing wear the Chinese costume. They have three Chinese cooks and two Americans, and the majority of the party indulge in dishes which the Oriental palate craves. They don’t believe in “doubling up,” each member of the embassy requiring a room for his own use, aud for thisreason they are somewhat cramped forroom. They have two dining-rooms—one in which the Asiatic oe, is spread. and the other for those who desire to extend aa apes to friends to partake of American ishes. PERSONEL OF THE EMBASSY, The chief of the embassy, Chin Lan Pin. (they call him Mr. Chin for short}, is an oid man of the true Mongolian type, with anabun dance of silver hair, and keen, black ey His complexion is scarcely darker and muc clearer than that of the average Cuban, being a transparent olive. He isa widower. Yung Wing is 20 years younger than his distinguish: ed companion, and adopted the English dress and mode of life when he was converted to the new faith. He experience, having won considerable celebrity at Hong Kong as one of the most enterprising and sagacious commercial spirits that Euro- pean zeal for trade has developed in the East. While Chin Lan Pin is somewhat grave and reserved, though genial and courteous in his manners, Y ung Wing has all the suavity and y of one whose manners have been formed by constant commercial contact with his fellows. He speaks English with ease and fluency- Mr. Wing has for the last 18 years been an active and zea'ous promoter of mis sionary enterprise in Eastern Asia. Mr. Wong, whose arrival is expected in a few days, also speaks English with facility, and is an are Seem of the strictest sect. He dresses in the English style. Both the secretaries are ignor- ant of the English language, but the attaches who have been in preparation at Harttord, Conn., where there are about 20 more waiting for consular appointments, all speak English, and have discarded the native dress. THEIR FTTURE MOVEMENTS. Chin Lan Pin is not charged with any special mission to our government, nor are there any special negotiations in view. Chin Lan Pin and Yung Wing have been appointed by the home government as ministers to the United States, Spain, and Peru for the term of three ears. After the presentation tothe Presi- lent, which is to take place some time in the course of next week, the members of the em- bassy willrest for a few weeks. Then Chin Lan Pin will procoet directly to Madrid to arrange the ministerial and consular service in Spain, taking the diplomatic staff with him, and attending personally to all the necessary negotiations. Having finished his mission in Spain, he will proceed to Peru, where he is charged with organizing a similar service.

In the Grand Lodge, L O. VU. F., in session in Baltimore, yesterday, there was a protract-d debate upon the sul ect of the financial con- dition of the Grand ge and the necessity for retrenchment, The proposition to psy | representatives actual traveling expenses, instead of a stipulated sum per mile, was argued to be just and equitable and favorable to the lodge treasury. A resolution that officers and representatives be reimbursed for actual traveling expenses and $5 per day during the session was lost, and it was deter- mined to fix mileage at 8 cents per mile and per diem at %5, thus reducing the lodge ex- penses over $4,000. The Grand Sire’s action tn changing the piste of meeting from Austin, Texas, to Baltimore was approved. The mat- ter of parade regalia for patriachal members was indefinitely postponed. The proposition to provide for benefits to members holding clearance cards was rejected. It was decided not to be imperative Lie the presiding officer of a lodge to open and close in re; form when called to attend the funeral of a member. The amended constitutions of several state grand bodies were approved. Au appeal case from Ohio, involving the question ol the eligibility of the presiding otfticer of a lodge for immediate re-election, was decided in the affirmative. It was resolved to be in- expedient to authorize lodges to work in the highest degree (the fifth,) at least until the number of degrees shall be reduced to three. it was decided that aap cate charters must hereaiter be signed by the officers issuing the originals. No Grand Encampment can confer the honors of Past Chief upon one who is only a Past High Priest. The Grand Encampment of New York was refused permission toamend its laws so as to elect its officers by represent- atives at its annual session. It was ruled that a member receiving a card as a former mem- ber of a defunct lodge is not entitied to the A. T.P.W.

These states are fortunate in their history, in their geography. in their soil, in their climate, and in their peo ple. foe meted and a very important part, of th» old Northwestern territory, that beautiful re. gion northwest of the river Ohio which was given to the United States by the state of Vir. inia in 1787, and organically devoted to [ree om and freemen forever. = Ant now you have to-day assembied to show what the productions of your barns, your ~~ and your mines have to exhibit. “Naturally, one addressing an audience assembied for such a purpose is main!y turned to the materia) interests of this important part of th+ United States,and during the very few minutes that it is proper for me to detain you I propose to call your attention only briétly to the subject of our material interests. Geo- graphically, the future fortunes of these three States are alike, and equally great. They are in a temperate zone, have a good working cli- mate at all seasons of the year. Men can work standing under and in the sun that shines on their land without injury, and in the winter | he can work again.

The wealtl of the mines we have, and coal in abundane suticient to supply the whole land, and. irc and copper. 1 say, my friends, that in maite- rial weaith we have all the essential element and yet it is in your thoughts, I can almost read it arr faces, that for five years past there has been stagnaiion in business, and the on still seems to exist. Now, the few ords that I desire to say on this su US: to most men is that is the cause of it. Now, my What was the cause of ‘that extraordinary and remarkable event hap jen in 1873? There is no mystery in it. 1 was bound to be, sooner or later You could not escape it. See this line of sol- diers marching — Iwas delighted to hay them as my escort this morning, dressed in tt old uniform. There was no nonsense about them. The war made the hard times, as war always does. What is war? We know what i is now. When that war began we were threat ened with its effects—with its results. I re member a brilliant writer in Cincinnati, where I resided in 1560, who said: Why, this country can’t gotowar. He said that the peopie of Cincinnati live on the business of the south Let us go to war, and in six months the grass will grow in your byways and streets. Did it? Why. my friends, the war hadn't been prose- cuted ninety days until every man saw what a mistake it was, and that every street was busier than before. A million of men in the south were taken from the ranks of industry, and instead of making property they became destroyers and consumers of property. So it was in the north, but every man who had wheat or corn or coal or labor found, when war came, that he had a better customer than ever before—a customer that wanted all he had got and wanted it immediately; a cus- temer who would not haggle about the price. That customer he had in the person of the United States, and business, instead of being depressed, began to revive. Property, which had laid on the shelves of the merchants for a long time, increased in value day by day. The result of it then was we made money fast, we ade it easily. We could afford to borrow at high rates of interest, because our investinents were sure to be profitable. Our trading and fast living were the results of the war. [need not enlarge on it. Finally, the war ended, men inthe ranks returned to their homes, and the material needs of the government began to go down. You lost your best cus tomer—the United States. It didn’t want to buy. It wanted to sell. Now, every wise man knew we should have a day of Settlement. ‘The flush times of war were to be followed by hard times, like these we have lately known. | and there is the cause. Now, my friends, it is sufficient to say that it is written in the laws “a ee economy that wars are followed 23 ard times and panics. The yA mystery in the whole thing is that the hard times did not come before they did. Now, we have got the cause, what is the effect? ‘the moment we began to have hard times we began to re- trench, every man to cut his mses down and to curtail his expenditures. Each man in a little while began to find himself a littie bet- ter off than he was. It may be along time, one year, two years, five years, but when it does’ get to the end, and the majority get their expenses less than their receipts, then we are better off. The government the United States is the people of the United States. When pe are all extravagant the Government will be extravagant. When you are all getting to watch yourselves, to watch each particular point, you set your officers to watching more particularly. When the war ended we had a debt of #2.400,000,00) on oar shoulders, upon which we were paying seven. three per cent. interest. Qur taxes were raised to a. $50,000,000 in a time of pro- found peace. Our currency was worth sixcy or seventy cents on the dollar. In our foreign trade the balance was against us nearly $105,- 000,000 a year, and now how are we? Thedeb: is reduced nearly a third. How mauy a wise man shook his head at the close of the war and said the people can never pay that debt. Why, we have got a third of it See off already. That interest which you paid is reduced $140,000,000 to $25,000,000. We no longer pa seven-three per cent. interest. We ean get all the money we want at four percent. Waat goes that mean for you and I? Those w Sorrow money know that when the Govera- ment pays seven per cent. it will cost tham twelve and fifteen per cent., and when the Government pays six and four it will go dowa for us. and so as the credit of the Government rows better, your eredit and mine grows etter. Weare down to four per cent. on in- terest ;and now as tothe currency. It wasa currency worth sixty cents on the dollar on one day, but did not stick at that price. You never could‘tellon Monday what it would be on Saturday. Who lost by the fickle standard of values? Always the laborer and producer. Why? Simply because the middie man, bein; @ business man, understands thatthe standa’ of value is likely to gonp. or to go down to his disadvantage. There! when be sells he does it having reference " standard of value maj to the fact that the ine charges eusugh make himself juently charges enougi ce himse! date and the consumer heals the loss, That is a fickle standard of value. | Applause.) Now, my friends, how do you see ittoday? The currency has been going up, up, until itis AER ES and if. Itis as unchangeable as Lake Erie. It does not go down at all. It is steady.

Inthe church it is that spirit of the past which takes refuge and gathers the strength I denounce. An ever increasing danger to society runs from the ultramontane Spirit, the spirit of the Vatican, of the Syllabus which is nothing but abuse of ignorance with the purpose of enslaving it. I have spoken of the relations between church and state. I am perfectiy aware that to be correct I should have said the relations between the churches and state: but from a governmental and national point of view, it is ultramon- tanism which persists in opposition to the state.
