A CASE UNDER THE Postal Treaty.—It will be remembered that the Spanish postal iuthorities recently addressed « communica- tion to the Post Ofice department complaining of the return of certain packages of illustrated papers as unmaiiable under our customs laws. An explanation of the matter was asked, and the suggestion was made that if the ‘final decision was made that such matter could not be admitted as inailable Spain would ape al to the international arbitration provided by the universal postal treaty where two naiions differ in the construction which they place upon its provisions. The Treasury depari- nent, after due consideration, has determined to admit unsealed packages of newspapers or periodicals from foreign countries not excecd- ng in weight 2 pounds 3 ounces, The cirenlar ef June 18, 1578, to this effect will be reaflirmed without its subsequent modifications. ‘The Dost Oflice department will communicate this decision to the Spanish postal authorities.

A DETERMINED EFrForT will be made to defeat Speaker Randall's re-election to Con- eS from the 2d Pennsylvania district. He is to be charged with haying been the person most responsible for the Ohio gerrymander, by which maneuver the democrats sorrow. fully admit that they lost more than the: gained. His defeat, too, would leave the 4611 senprese without any acknowledged leader of ability, and for this reason his district will receive especial attention at the hands of the republican congressional campaign committee. SayLeR WILL Contest It.—The Cincinnati Enquirer announces editorially to-day that Milton Sayler will contest his successful com- petitor’s seat in Congress. The majority against Sayler is 763 votes, but it is understood that the contest will be based upon what 13 claimed to be the illegal employment of super- visors of election by the republicans. It will be remembered that Judge Hoadley,when the question of the appointment of such supervi. sors was contemplated by Judge Baxter, ho! ing the U. 8. district court in Cincinnati argued that the law itself was unconstitu tional. The court ruled otherwise, and th supervisors were ordered to be appointed ‘The republicans made their appointments but the democrats, coinciding with Judg Hoadley's view of the case, refused to mak any appointments.

Miles, at the Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency, which the northern Cheyennes who have made such a sensation by their ravages in Kansas and Nebraska deserted on the 9th instant, has sent in his report to the Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs. He says that about the 5th of the month information was given by the southern anos and Arapahoes that they were missing some of their best horses, and that the thieves were among a certain band of the northern Cheyennes. Subsequent information was to the effect that three young men of this party had alrcady ‘ore north, and that others were preparing to follow. With the view of ascertaining the truth or falsity of these statements, an enroll- iuent of a)l the male adults of the Northern Cheyennes was ordered. This order was obeyed, except by the suspected band. These resisted und began to entrench themselves in sand bills near the camp. On the 9th they quietly packed their ponies and started north. An account is then given of the pursuit by soldiers from Fort Reno, of the unsuccessful engagement on the Cimarron river, and the subsequent depredations of the ’ Indians. The 35) stampeding Cheyennes, only 9) of whom were men, did not and would not affili- ate with the southern Cheyennes. The stam- veding Indians had no real\ cause ‘for complaint on the sound of short rations. The leading ehtefs of the Northern Cheyennes are well satisfied, and in common with the Southern Cheyennes and Arapahoes, have ex eae their disapprobation of the stamped nF Cheyennes. { shouid be noted that the few hundred In- dians who stampeded were of a community of 5,060, all of whom, except themselves, were contented. 1.

Mr. 8. T. Abert, civil engineer, U. S. A. has submitted his aunual report to the chief of en- gineers of work done in the improvement of the rivers and harbors under his control. Con- cerning the harbors of Washington and Georgetown he says: At the commencement of the fisca! year the appropriation made for $¥,000 (made March 3d, 1873,) for the improvement of of Washington and Georgetown, D. C., had been expended in dredging channels above and below the Long bridge and in removing dangerous rocks in Georgetown harbor, leay- ing a mail balance of $2,500, which was insu. cient for any work whici coull materially benefit the navigation of the river. The work. therefore, has remained practicaliy suspended during the year. The new channel bas, how. ever, under the action of the freshets, been undeigoing gradual deterioration. This has been anticipated in former annual reports on this work, in which it was stated that the bar would probably reform every three or four years unless the flats were inclosed and the river width contracted. The river at this point increases from % to 5,000 feet in width. ‘The freshet water, loaded with sediment, leay- ing the confined channel above. rze- town suddenly expands over the wide area below. The resulting decrease in the velocity of the stream, which is still further checked by the fiood-tidal current, causes a deposit of the material held in suspension. ‘This actioa had, however, been comparative: al until the freshet of November 25, 1877, continued for three days, aud which exceeded any previous freshets of which we hi When the freshet had sub- f water on the bar was foun atly reduced.

In erder thatthe channe! to be dredged may be readered permanent, it is important that a general plan of improvement should be adopted and that its continuation should be provided for by annual appropriations suffi- ciently large to ensure substantial progress in the work. Three plans were diseussed by the board of survey appointed by act of Congress for the improvement of the harbors of Washington and George- town. Mr. Abert «quotes these plans, which haye previously been published, and in lieu of them recommends the following: the act mak- , I would now propose to limit the work to the essentiu! features of this plan, by confining the operations to the dredging of channel, fol- the course of the Virginia channel, be. tween Easby’s and the arsenal, and reclaim. the liver channel, leaving the question whet! er this avea should be parked or laid out in city lots, for future considcration. The im- pertance a radical improvement of the liver to the health and prosperity of the city cannot be disputed, and its early completion il afford the only satisfactory solution 19 siions relating—first, to the sanitary con- afien of the city; second, to th: nd third, the much-needed improvement to wade and navigation. As to lary condition, Mr. A!

By the height of the highest freshet. As the filling of the flats progresses, the disposi- tion of the present city sewerage will require attention. The most efficient method would probably be to provide intercepting sewers for all higher levels to discharge into the river by gravity and for the lower districts to be pro- vided with special sewers and with pumping stations, near the river channel, which will raice and discharge the sewerage at such leveis as the stage of water may require. Atteation is called to the facts that when the pew channel is made the Long Bridge avill have to be replaced, and that the amount of propeity that would have to be destroyed will have to betaken in account.

Early in the day telegrams were sent to Evansville, where many leading citizens were attending the United States Court, and it was rumored that Governor Williams had deter- mined to send the Evansville Rifles and Light Gauff and the militia. This news put the mob ina frenzy of excitement. Two thousand men, Wel!-armed,were stationed at the depot to prevent the militia from leaving the cars. A cannon was brought out by the rest of the mob and planted in front of the court house, facing the street to the depot.

There are said to have been five other doors open for the egress of the audience. The police inside and outside the theater endeavored to control the frantic crowd. The structure of the thea- ter at this point, where the crush occurred, is intricate, the exits converging into a narrow well, apd it was in this weil that the dead were collected until they had reached a ghast ly pile, six or seven bodies deep. An upright Partition in the center of the doorway stopped the passage until one of the men attached to the theater procured am axe and cut itaway, enabling some of the imprisoy People to make their escape. A scene of the greatest excitement prevailed outside of the theater.
