We are promised by the French provisional gov- erument, whose Interest it ls to heap ebloquy on the Emperor, startling revelations as to the “ex travagances” of the imperial court. In articipa- tion of these we note a few facts from the financial report of Mr, West, her British Majesty’s Secretary of Embassy, conveying their own significance. It is simply a review of French finance from 1853 to 1866, The civil list of the Emperor was set down at £1,000,000; under Louis Philippe it was £480,000, ‘The grants to the priaces and priaceases of the iin. ee lamuy were £60,100 a@ year; the Orleans lumiiy Look £52,0u0, In the item for the Ministry of State, which amounted to £763,212 to 1853 and £951,039 1866, were included the expeuses tucurred for the funerals of ex- Ministers; for the baptism of the Prince Im; rial, Which cost £19,860; reilef to the wounded in 1858, Ze Deuwmes for the Italian vietorics, the statue of Marshal Ney, the tomb of Napoleon I., and over expenditurs The Sccret Service money in the Foreign Olice amounted to £22,000; in 18b5 it Was £46,000, A sain of £7,155 was expended 1 the acquisition of the iomb at St. Helena, and a’subven- tivn of $4,809 accorded to Abd-el-Kader. Distinc- tioas were somewhat costly to France, as in ! 186) not less than £400,000 was given as suppiement- ary to the Legion of Honor, the same iteu in 1353 having amounted to not more tian £34,000. O41 course the amount stipulated as secret service. Douey oes not represent the entire amount at tle disposal of the Emperor, a8 there remain the sums paid for exemption from the conscription, which seem elastic, and ceronah the complexity of the sysiem, practically beyond the power of calculation. THE SWISS DELEGATES IN STRASBOURG. ‘The capitulation of Strasbourg gives an interest to the report of Swiss delegates who were allowed to visit the towa a few days before that event and who evidently saw that its surrender was tmmunent, Thelr report says:— The list_of persons who had left the place con- tamed 1,477 names and was divided into three caie- gories, By far the ost numerous class consisted of persous Wao could proviie subsisteace for them- selves, the second of those with limited means, the third of tne needy who reited entirely on assistauce, The sufe conducis of these categories are distin- geished by being of a white, biue or red color. Ot special interest were the expressions of General vlrich on the present situat’on. Silent as he was on our frat visit he now spoke out spontaneously and suid, “It was impossible the thing could last long; the cnd inust soon come.” He remarkel that Le Was spoaktug quite irankly and without re- seve.

WASHINGTON, Oct. td, 1570, The Administration in a Quandary—Con- eressman Jenckew Patent Law Blunder. Since the exposé of Mr. Congressman Jenckés" fa- mous new Patentilaw blunder he has been striving Very hard.to pooh-pooh the whole mater as @ very small thing, which can have no serious effects upon the admuntatration of the country. fe has gone to some pains to make public a statement defending his action and sustaining the bill as all right, not- withstanding the newspaper stricturea and legal condemnations far and wie, Incveased tuterest ia belng felt in this matter now, from the fact that @ case has been raised before Commissioner Williams, tn your city, involving the construction and interpretation of the law. The cas referred to 4g that of John Miller, formerly a clerk ia tue Sub- Treasury at New York, who was under examination charged with forging a check on the Sub-Treasury. ‘The counsel for the accused contended that no oifence had been committed, as the statute orgaulz- ing the Sub-Treasury had been repeated by the uew patent law before the comunission of tho alieged forgery, and, there beipg no legal Sub-Freasury, there could be no 6fub-Treasury checks to be forged. This brings the wholo subject to @ test more specdily than was auniteipatea, and confirms the grave predicttoas made by your correspondent from this point weeks ago. Ii is be- Neved that the Atiorney General will issue instrue- tions to the District Aitorney in New York to hold the offender, in any event, 1u federal custody until such time as @ proper examination of the matter maybe made, Now, thts 1s to be done providing Commissioner Willlams shouid conclude to discharge the prisoner, 80 far as his owi jurisdiction over the sutject is concerned, The point raised by Agsistant District Attorney Pu:dy, thas whether the Sub- ‘Treasury law was repealed or not Mr. White, the cashier, was an agent of the United States, perform- ing duties that had been recognized by custom and usage as such agent, ts considered a good one, that can be fairly sustained by the courts, The decision of we point is awaited with great interest. Genoral Lee’s Estate at Arliagtos. The death of General Lee has brought into dis- cussion the subject of the goverament’s possession of the Arlington estate, opposite this clty, forierly the property and residence of General Lee, and which, it has been supposed, was held by the United States under the provisions of tue contiscation 1aws, In this connestion the Hecning Star, of this city, | to-day publishes the followin: It is Supposed by many that the government holds Possessivn of A:.inglou by reason of the Connsca- tion act, and according to the provisions of that iaw the title can only be vested in the government dur- ing the life of the party who engaged in the rebel- lion, Hence it is said that Aritugion now réverts to the heirs ol General Lee. Sucit isnot the case, how- \ ever, as the property lg not heid under the Couisca- tlon act, not having belonsed to Generali Les. At the death of Mr. Custis a lite intevest in it was be- | queatied to Mrs, Lee, lus dsaghter, and at her deati at was to be his grandsons’, Ousus aad Fits Muga Lee. The taxes upon the property having ac- cumulated during the rebeilion 1% was seld therefor, and parchased vy the government. Thus, 1b will be seen, it is held by viriue of a tax title. Subsequently efforts were made to redeem it by pay- ing the amount of taxes; buf, so far, have been un- successiul, and the title is stitl vesicd ip the govern- ment by victne of the tax sale alluded to, As the Arlington estate has now been converted into a great nationa! cemetery and is Billed with the boncs of those who fell in the war of the rebetion, it can- not well be used for any other purpose, and tts pos- session could hardly be des rable to the Lee family, Bestruction of Counter‘cit Bank Note Piates. The committee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, consisting of Acting Comptroiler Knox, Assistant Solicitor Robincon and Messrs. Moore and Hawmond, of the reasury Department, to-day wit- nessed the aestruction at the Navy Yard of a large umber of plates and other material captured from counterfeiters, and which had been used by them in counterfclung nioncy and etamps; aso tho plates, dies, &c., of the fifty cent fractional currency note of the fourth issue, first series, The committee, at the same tlme, witnessed tie desiruction | in the seme manner of the face and back plates, dies, bed pieces, rolls, &c., of the Nve dollar notes of forty-nine national banks which have failed or given notice of liquidation, which plates were engraved by the Contineutal Pank Company. The amount of steel plate . rolls, &e., melied tn the presence of the commiitse was between turee and four tons. The Dofaulting Navel Paymasters. A Western paper lately attacked, very severely, the Navy Departinent for fatlure to prosecute de- faulting navy paymasters, whose operations, within a few ycars, are said to have cost the government upwards of two millions of dollars.

It has never been the duty of the naval solicitor to look afier the cases of de. linquent pay masters, Under the act of Congress creating the Dbepariment of Justice the Naval Solicitor has to perform only suck duties as may be assigned to htm by tue Attorney General. Before that act took effect the Solicitor and Navat Judge Advocate, xs the Naval Solicitor was then called, performed only such duties as wore assigned him by the Secretary of the Navy. He had no offt- cial knowledge of any matter which was not ofi- ctally referred to him by the Secretary, Never was he gutity of any delay or nog!tgence in the performance | of his duty and examining and reporting upon the law and tie facts in all cases submitted to his churge.
