The European War Question—Canses bxciting to a Coutiacata: Convulsion—The Feeling in Konan Lonpoy, Sept. 13, 1868. It is generally constdercd that the events of the ‘last fortnight have masie li tle change in tne political condition on the Continent either to lessen or in- crease the chances of war. While on the one hand the press of Germany have assumed a quieter toue aud profess to be more con- Adent of peace, on tne other hand itis known tiat France has refused the formal demand made by ile Chevalier Nigra, the Italian Ambassador, for there- Call of the French troops from Rome, and at the same time Prince Girgenti bas brought to Paris the pro- posal of Spain to cement an ailiaace with France by sending 30,000 soldiers to Rome, This proposition and the approaching toterview which 1s shortly to take place at Bayonne between the Emperor Napo- leon and the Queen of Spain are looxed upon as foreshadowing aa aiilance, the object of which is to Tid France of the care vi the Holy See in case she should be piunged into civil war, so that by this means France, if without any otuer ally, could ma.e Spain useful. Rumors, too, that several ‘fighting’ French regi- Ments have been isiely re_alied from Africa, that the Russian General Levikoit lias been despatched on a Special mission to Geruauy and that Prussia has de- termined to annex ths Grand Duchy of Baden, add to the feeling of disirust in the permanence of the existing peace. ‘This feeling is faithfully mirrored in Paris by the de ression on tiie Dourse and the consequent decline of rentes, and in dijloimatic circles here the situ- @ ton ts pithily samied up in these words:—“No fear of war, though it may begin to-morrow.” The Alliance Negotiations Between France and Spain. Of the reported proposition of the Queen of Spain for the neyotiation of a special treaty of alliance with France, refecre. to in our cable telegram given above, we have by wail a very startling explanation indeed of the visit to #ontainebleau of the Count and Countess Girgenti, whic, frum various indications from the Coutiment, las aiready been suspected to be important. It is said that the mission of the young couple is to induce the Emperor Napoleoa to Consent to @ treaty of alliauce oifensive and de- fensive with Spain, whch Queen Isabella has al- Teady been nezouating bat which went “off upun Ceriain dillerences between the sovereigns.

Among the existent exciting causes tending to war in Europe eunmeraied in our cable telegram from London is the probable annexation of the Territory of Baden by Prussia. German advices to hand by mai go far to coutirm the supposition that Prussia will evon take this step. ‘The Cariaruhe Gazetie seems, indeed, to consider the absorption of the Grand Duchy of Baden by Prussia as simply a ques- tion of time, In one of its latest numbers it de- scribes the general cunsiition of the troope compos: ing the Baden army, aad then adds: ‘ihe military system in this Du:hy is so completely according to at of the russian army, evea to the smailest de- tail, that the incorporation of the Baden force into the other could take place without the smallest delay Whenever ile entrance into the Confederat.on of the North, indicated in ‘he recent speeches of the Minis Beyer and rrvidorf, snali appear opportune.” FRANCE. The Army News from Germany—Napoleon and the Generals at Chalons. Parts, Sept. 13, 1868, ‘The Patrie of yesterday thinks that the report that the Prussian army is to be reduced by one hundred and fifty thousand men is false. The Ftendard says, on leaving the camp at Chalons the Emperor summmoued the general officers to his presence. He then thanked them for the zeal they had shown, and said tne days he had passed in the camp had given him great pleasure and satisfaction. Probable Reception of Queen Isabella. Panis, Sept 13—P. M.

Wasuinaron, Sept. 18, 1863, The Probabilities of General Grant Resigo- ing His Position in the Army Before the Presidential Election. Frequently when conversation has turned upon the probable tasue of the coming Presidential con- test the question has arisen whether General Grant will resign his position in the army before the 5th of November or on the day the election is to take place. Whenever this question comes up it m gen- erally conceded that Grant will resign at some time before the result of the election ia reached, It is rarely, ifever, supposed that he will not resign at all, although if the matter is given a careful con- sideration no good reason can be assigned to esab- lish the point that @ resignation under the circumstances is absolutely required, arguing either from the nature of the case or the law of pre- cedent. General Grant himself seems to have given this subject a thorough examination, for it is under- stood that his mind has been decided for some time past in reference to his duty tn the master of resign- ing the chief command of the army before the day of election. Certain gentlemen whose relations with the General, both social and official, afford them ex- cellent opportunity to know his views, have recently stated—one or two of them quite positively—that General Grant will not resign his army rank unless he shall be elected to the office of Chief Executive of the United States. Senator Morgan and Representative Scheack Opposed, to a September Session of Con- eress, Notwithstanding the general concurrence of the Senators and Representatives who arrive here in the belief that @ quorum will be present on the 2ist inst., it has been ascertained through a letter trom General Schenck, received in this city yesterday, that Senator Morgan and himself will decide against calling upon the members to be present on the 2ist inst, Both Senator Morgan and General Schenck are expected to arrive here to-morrow, soon after which it is thought an oficial notice announcing their decision will be made public. The Internal Revenne investigation in New York=Courtucy’s Visit to Washingteu— Binckley’s Report to the President. District Attorney S. J. Courtney, of New York, ar- rived here this morning, in obedience to a summons from the Secretary of the Treasury, who desired to confer with him in relation to the Binckley invosti- gation. Mr. Courtney had a long interview with Mr. McCulloch to-day, and afterwards visited As- sistant Attorney General Ashton. He returned te New York by thia evening’s train. Mr. Courtney has written to the editor of a Boston democratic paper asking for the name of the author of the para- graph which appeared in that journal a day or two after the collision occurred between himself and Mr. Binkley. Solicitor Binckley was closeted last night with the President quite a long time, during which the report of his proceedings in the New York investigation was examined, and his verbal account of the dim. culties with which he was beset in his labors was listened to. Nothing of any importance was trans- acted. Binckley’s written report is said to be par- ticularly severe in its charges against certain promi- nent officials whose duty it was to aid in the exam- ination. The United States Vessels Lost During the Recent Earthquakes on the South American Coast. According to the Naty Register, published last July, the officers of the steamship Fredonia, lost at Arica, Pern, during the fearful earthquakes on the 15th ult., were as follows:—Captain, George W. Doty, of New York; Paymaster, William W. Williams, of Ohio; Passed Assistant Susgeon, Frank L. Dubois, of Pennsylvania; Acting Masters, David Organ, of New York, and Benjamin Dyer, of Massachusetts, ‘The department has not yet received oiicial intelli- gence of the event. Instead of tie Fredonia having on board nearly $2,000,000 worth of stores, she prob- ably had not one-twenticth of that amount. The regular station of the Fredonia was Callao, which city she had left on account of the yellow fever there. Her crew numbered probably between sixty and eighty men. The Wateree, which was carried inland by a tidal wave, was under orders to proceed for Sau Fran- cisco, where she was to have been put out of com- mission, The latest offictal reports from the steam- ship Powhatan were dated “at sea,” in the vicinity of Africa. She was then on her way south from Panama. The Difference of Longitude Between Ha- vana and Washington. ‘The result of the recent telegraphic communica- tions between the Washington Observatory and the Morro Castle, Cuba, is an approximate difference of longitude between those two points of five degrees, twenty-one minutes and eight and two-tenths seconds. This differs from the best French anthort- ties by ten seconds, and from the best English authorities by eight seconds. The time occupied by electricity to pass over a wire from Washington to Havana was thirty-five one hundreds of a second, The Extravagance ef the Radical Congress. Aremarkable proof of the reckless extravagance of Congress during the past three years is found in the fact that Secretary Stanton, in his official report for 1865, estimated the appropriations necessary to meet the expenses of the War Department under the peace establishment at $35,000,000 per year. The oficial records of the Treasury Department disclose that the expenditures on account cf the War Depart- ment since that estimate was made have been $610,000,000, or over six times the sum estimated by Mr. Stanton.

The United States, for the eonvenience of business in the Post OMice Department, is divided into three districts, and La each agents are appotated and denominated * Blank Agents of the Post Office Department." The headqua:ters of the blank agent ot the First district are at Washington, aud he sup- piles with paper, twine, &c., the post offices in tue southern Staies, The headquarters of the agent of the second trict are at New York, and his flold ts the post o:ices of the Eastern and Middle States aad Caulornia, aud the headquarters of the Third dis- trict are at Buifalo, which suppiles the post oMces of the Western St The agents are supplied by tie contractor upon the requisition of the Postmaster General, based upon the esiimate of the agent, and the post offices are supplied by the agent upon the requisition of their respective postmasters, beiore the contractor can obtain payment from the government tor the articies furnished he must pro- sent, wita his account, the requisition of the Post- master General and the estimate of the blank agent. ‘The agent, at the end of each quarter, is required to furnish an account showing the quantity of blanks, wrapping paper and twine on hand at the commence- ment of the quarter, the amounts received from the contractor, the amounts distribute? to post onices during the quarter and on hand at its close, and as a proof of their correctness, his accounts for tle pre- vious quarter, the duplica:e requisitions or receipts of the different postmasters, are the evidence. It will readily be perceived from the above mode of transacting the business that the contractor aud agents are ®& mutual check upon each other. The agent nrust first make an estimate of the articles ne ded betore the Postmaster General will issue hits requisition to the contractor, and the contractor must produce, in addition, the receipts of the agent, before lus accounts can be audited and paid. ‘rhe only check as to the distribution by the agent is the requisition or recelot of the post- masters, and the only evidence that the quan- tities called for by the requisition of the postmaster: have been furnished by the agents wonid be the books and statements of the Postmaster himself, tn the form of a receipt. It would seem, therefore, that no fraud could be committed by the contractor ua- less he waa in collusion with the agent, and that the agent, in order to get his account passed at the de- partment, must be in collusion with both the con- tractor and ee or persons having charge of the auditing and passing of these accounts. ‘The investigations of Mr. Carlyle have developed the na:ure of the Post Ofice frauds to be as follow First, on the part of the contractor, the pres. ntation of accounts falsely representing the quautities of Post Office blanks, wrapping paper and twine fur- nished the Post OMece (gro and obtaining money thereon by means of other representations in the nature of receipts fraudulently and corruptly procured. Second, as to the agents recetpting lor laise quantities to the contractor and presentiug as vouchers for quantities distributed the requisitions of postmasters which were either only partially or never filled. Third, as to the clerks in the depart- ment passing orauditing the accounts after cun- tractors and agents and a consideration therefor. The names of the parties appearing to have en- tered into the conspiracy are as foliows:—C, F. 3, Thomas, of Buifalo, contractor for furnishing Pos Office blanks, and from 1861 to 1868 having a con- tract for furniahing paper and twine; E. H. Howard and J. M. dohnson, partners of Thomas from Janu- ary, 1867, and who, it is al waet, have enjoyed the benefits arising from the operations of Thomas; W. O, Redden, blank ageut of the First district at Wash- ington; Beverly Clark, blank agent of the Second district of New York, and Andrew F. Lee, blank agent of the Third (istrict at Buffalo from 1860 to 1867; George W. Vining, of Chicago, who up to Octo- ber, 1867, was @ confidential clerk of Thomas; Wil- liam Towers, of Washington, chief clerk tn the office of the Superintendent of Pubiic Printing in the Trea- sury Department at Washington, who passed the ac- counts of Thomas for blank paper and blanks; George L. Juverner, Who from 1860 to 1868 was clerk in the Auditor's office of the Post Office Department and passed the accounts of both Thomas and the blank agents. Ail of the above named persons have been arrested. but those residing in Washington have been dis- charged on a habeas corpus upon a decison of United States District Jndge Wyllie that the defendants must be tried for the offence In the district where the offence was committed. A law passed by Congress in 1867, however, gives jurisdiction to this district in this matter, inasmuch as all are charged with a con- spiracy, the overt act being commuted in this dis trict. Those arrested at the other places have given bal! to appear for trial at the November term of the United States Crreuit Court, to be held in this city. ‘The indictments etn the above named persons with conspiracy to defraud the United States, by de- livering at the various post offices in the Kastern dis- trict of Michigan amounts of wrapping paper, twine, post office blanks less in quantity than the requis tions made by the several masters upon the blank agents and contractors, and causing snce re- uisitions of the several postmasters to be sent to the Post Office Department ae evidence of the deliv. ery in the blank agent or contractor of the fall quantity called for on the face of the requisitions to he presented, audited, approved and paid, and the profits of such fraudulent transactions to be divided among the conspirators, ‘Two charges are made in the indictment against Hudson FP. one that on March 4, 1867, upon a requisition irom the Postmaster of Detroit for twelve reams of paper, he delivered bat four, transmitting the reqnisition for twelve reams to Washington a@ a voucher, upon which he received pay 4 the other charge is that he sent, on March $, is87, upon @ requisition for twelve reams, only eight reams, while he received pay for the whole amount called for.
