A NEw TREASURY ORDER.—Secretary Sher- man has decided to make the senders of na- tional bank notes to the redemption agency in this city prepay the express charges on them. <A circular to this effect was issued late this afternoon by Treasurer Gilfillan. Heretofore the government has paid all such charges and reimbursed itself out of the five per cent. fund allowed by the banks to pay expenses incurred in the redemption of notes. The government has also had special rates with the express companies. It is thought that hereafter banks and others sending notes for redemption will have to pay full rates. SECRETARY ScuURz will speak in the Music hall, at Cincinnati, on Saturday evening, not jay evening. as was at first intended. A HEALTH OFricex BURNS THE MAILs.— Information has been received at the P. 0. department to-day that twenty-four sacks of hewspaper mail have beer burned by the health office at Mesquite, Texas. As the mails not been foreed by the department past y point where quarantyne has been ¢: lished, the question arises by what authority the mails were burned. The department will Investigate the matte: Tue Ercut Hour Law.—In view of the fact that the administration has at last taken cog nizance of the eight hour law, the democratic congressional campaign committee has de- cided to have printed and circulated the opinion of Attorney General Devens, delivered. in Mareh last, against the enforcement, of the law. The committee seem to think that the law is now enforced to propitiate the votes of the laboring men. Tue HAYDEN Su covery ef Giaciers—Mr. Eccles, an glish geologist, who accompanied the Hayden ex- rloring expedition, reached Cheyenne last Wednesday. He reports the party doing well. They apprehend no further troubles from Indians, and intend to compiete their field w The party discovered a number of genuine glaciers: one in the vicinity of Mt. Moran, fully a mile in length.

Strait, of the pension office in this city, has Teceived a letter from Wellsboro’, Pa., giving an account of an accident to Kepresentative John I. Mitchell, of the 16th Pennsylvania dis- trict, whose horse ran away with him, throw- ing him out of his buggy. His ankle was badly sprained, and he was made so helpless that he had to withdraw from the active cam- Paign he was conducting in his district. PROFESSOR ASAPH HALL has pursued his studies of the moons of Mars which he dis- covered a year ago, so far that he is now able to present, in a pamphlet published by the Naval Observatory, and called ** Observations and Orbits of the Satellites of Mars,” a pretty full account of the observations made of the ae and calculations for ephemerides in 1879. Victims OF SiipwRECK.—The commanding efficer cf the United States squadron on the coast of Brazil was telegraphed a few days avy department to send the U. ex to Tristan d’Acunha to re- eve the crew of the wrecked ship Mabel Clark. The Essex is now supposed to be on her way to the island. Information through the Department of State gives the followin: faets concerning the Mabel Clark’s crew: dispatch has been received from the consul of the United States at Singapore, from which tt appears that the British ship Cambrian Mon- arch brought to that port on the 5th ult. ten survivors of the wreck of the Mabel Clark; that two others of the survivors were carried to Sydney on the 6th of June by the British ship Mousdean, of Glasgow, Thompson, mas- ter, while the sotowing, persons were left on iiams of the island, viz: Hen: Jno. sen of Norway, Peter Johnson and O. Peterson, a Dane, Alex. Jenkins of Nova Scotia, and Frank Smith, said to be a German. (it seems there were two Frank Smith’s onthe vessel.) The consul’s per furnishes the pleasing intelligence that the treatment expe- rience by. the crew of the Mabel Clark from lers was, for the most part, honora- ble and generous ina high Ln Nes while the exertions put forth by the inhabitants to save the lives of the crew, are described as heroic.

That places in Congeess are bought wi'h dollars and cents might be the hasty conclu- sion of some people if the appeals whic) are made daily upon the republican and deimo- cratic campaign committees should be pubd- lished. It has often been a subject of wonder to the uninitiated why a candidate, sure to bo in the minority, is willing .ogo through a can- Yass, only for the purpose of being defeated ; why republicans in the south and in the west coasent to run in districts which have the democratic majorities high up in the thou- sands, and democrats consent to ruo in Tepublican districts similarly fixed. The mystery seems to be solyed. When a struggling candidate in this position has received a nmi- nation he comes straightway to Washington and gives assurances seemingly as strong as root from Holy Writ, that he can be elected if e can only get some monev—greenbacks will do—sent into his di-trict. Within the last three Weeks the two campaign committees have been importuned to send money into such dis- triets; the candidate is anxious, and while the committee know that the money will not avail to overturn decided majorities, the can- didate is so solicitous as to breed the Suspicion that if money is given he alone will be the beneficiary. The republican committee is in receipt of letters, asking money, from North Caxolina, Maryland, Alabama, Georgia, Mis- sissippi and elsewnere—those which usuaily send Solid democratic delegations to Congress; whereas the candidates on the democratic ticket in Iowa. Minnesota, Kansas and such states make like demands upon the demo- cratic committee. It would seem, from read- ing some of the appeals, that money, after all, is the Archimedian lever with which major- ities are removed. Tua Bony of Samuel Hays, postmaster at Sr. Lonis, filed at the Post ment to-day, and hi THE OFFICERS AND CREW of the Spanish man-of-war Pizarro, which foundered at sea, haye been quartercd on the U.S. receiving ship Colorado, at New York.

At a cau- cus last night all the delegates present strong- ly favored a hard money platform, and such a platform will undoubtedly be adopted unan- imously. EXPECTED DUEL BETWEEN TWO MARYLAND Lawyens.—The N. Y. Sun of to-day has a dis- patch dated Baltimore, September 23, saying: “All the preliminaries, according to_the code, for a hostile meeting between Mr. Henry At3- uith, state’s attorney of Annapolis, and S. \omas McCullough, a leading member of the bar of Maryland, have been arranged. Tae trouble had its origin in a personal difficulty which occurred a few days ago on the cars of an Annapolis train, Blows were exchanged, and although the affair was temporarily hushed up it was felt by those who knew the two men that it would not end there. This Proves to have been correc! A SUICIDE PRoMPTED BY PRipE.—At Johns- town, N.Y., Solomon E. Hubbs, 45 years old, a commercial traveler and a member of a high- = respected family of Montgomery county, -Y., Was arrested on a charge of having ob- talned goods in Oneida county under false pretences. He was imprisoned in the Mont- gomery county jail Thursday night, and com- mitted suicide about 3 o'clock Friday morn. ing by opening the arteries of both arms with arazor. Family pride prompted this act. A CONFEDERATE AcQuiTreD.—Henry A. Burr, charged hefore United States Commls- sioner Hallet, at Boston, with having engaged with others in the capture of the steamer Chesapeake in the name of the Confederate Oi og during the late war. has been lischarged, on the ground that his case was covered by the general amnesty proclamation of December 25, 1868. A New York Ropsery—John Conners, aged 28, and George H. Brown have been ar- rested in New York for robbing the store of Joseph H. Simmons, optician, of $2,009 worth of operagiasses, on Sunday night. The rob- Dery was perpetrated at half-past ten o'clock. when scores of persons were walking up an down Broadway directly past the place. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A WoMAN.—The boy ofthe woman found in the Charles river basin at Boston, on the 4th Instant, has been identified as that of Mrs. Alice V.

ATTACK ON A NEWSPAPER Ma AN.—Sonsider- able excitement was caused in Philadelphia yesterday, Py. an attack with a horse-whip made by Richard Newton Price upon Hugh A. Mullen, proprietor of the Sunday Worid. Only two blows were struck before the parties were separated. article in the World reflecting on Price’s father, a ward politician, caused the row.

Down the Potomac; Up the Jame STEAMER AKIEL, James RIveR, Sept. 19 Editor Star:—It is a pleasant ride on the Lady of the Lake from your city to Norfolk. It is true that the sight-seeing, or view of scenery is quite “limited”—as the latter day railroad ticket puts it—for there are bat two bits of daylight tosee in, just the little begin- ningand ending of the trip. But if could not see, I could think, and the hundreds of memo- ries, more or less, of the grand old river Poto- mac came thronging to the mind. Siace I made the trip to Richmond. ia 15%, from Washingtop via Baltimore, the Chesapeake bay and Jat.es river, I have not been puzzled oyer the fact that the Marylander and the Virginian of an earlier day always gazed on his familiar Potomac with an abounding ad- miration, even affection. Well. it is a beauti- ful stream, broad, placid and plentifal in its aqueous depth; and then its historic interest is rich and varied. Dariig the war of 1812 it was the scene of many important transactions and events. It I mistake not, the proud Briton with his powerful fleet then coursed its channel. Dur- ng the late sanguinary strife it was the thea- ter of some momentous events. But tome one of its chief atiractions lies in the fact that Washineton, the founder of his country’s lib- erties, lived on its banks and loved it. Since my trip for pleasure and observation down the Chesapeake in 183% some changes hive made their mark abeut Hampton Roads. The Rip Raps have become almost a complete ada- mantine fortification. The Hygeia Hotel since then has risen up on the sands of Old Poiat Comfort. Then Jefferson Davis was a tenant in one of the casemates of Fortress Monroe. The village of Hampton seems to have added a few large sightly structures to its precincts. NORFOLK is a larger town than I supposed. It has ranked as the third—in point of amount—eot- ton shipping port in the country, New Orleans being the first and Savannah tne second. Bus T heard some of its citizens expre ng appre. hensions that this cotton shipping business was liable to be greatly diminished the now about opening, from the fact that a road that has heretofore emptied iis trains, by the management, on tie Norfolk wharves has charged proprietorship, or is about to do so, and that in future its cotton trains will be controlled in the business inter- est of Savannah. Norfolk has an important fact in iis favor as a shipping port, depth of water, and a harbor easy of cee and safe. _ Hon.

Thave been struck with the fact that eool- headed men with moderate views hereabouts and further north, declare that they are fear- ful that the present national labor party's ac- tion will finally result in_a material modifica. tion of o1 nstitutions.
