OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Who the de'il is editing the Journal? Dispatch. The de'il himsel. Associate Justice Swayne, of Ohio, it in now positively affirmed, will be ap pointed Chief J ustice. The Dispatch will observe that It is the Democratic ticket we want to "hoist" so high it will not come down again. , The Louisville Courier, which save it feels jolly "when the old Democratic bugle blows," enters into a labored de fense of the Salarr Kill. The farmers have a worthy and genu ine representative on the Republican ticket in the person of the candidate for Treasurer of State. Mr. Welch has been a real farmer all his life, and is one still. The resolutions of the Pennsylvania Republican Convention condemn the Congressional practice of attaching to appropriation bills other measures not ger-nain to them. The Constitution of Ohio forbids that any bill shall relate to more than one subject matter, and it would sseem decidedly proper that the Constitution of the United States should contain a like provision. i : A Washington dispatch says the official statement of the Congressional printer shows that the cost of publishing the debates of Congress at the Government printing office will be from thirty to fifty per cent, less than it has been heretofore under private contract, thus saving about $200,000 each session. This reform waa effected through the indefatigable efforts of an Ohio Congressman, General Beatty. BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH.. General Butler lias commenced the erection of a block of brick buildings in Washington. At Selma, Ala., the first bale of new cotton was sold Wednesday at 17 cents per pound. The worms are lively throughout the cane-brakes west of Selma. A quorum of the Senate committee on Transportation has been secured to meet at New York on September 4. A large amount of valuable information on the subject has recently been received, including statistics from American Consuls. Mr. Vanderbilt, of the Treasury Department, returned yesterday morning from his investigation of supposed frauds in the New York Custom House, and reports to Secretary Kichardson tbect. was nothing whatever to implicate certain officers in wrongdoing. A Washington dispatch says the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in accordance with the provision of the act of Congress, is addressing circulars to all Collectors of Internal Revenue, directing them to report upon the nature of the business done by Savings banks. A Topeka, Kansas, letter states that Governor Osborne will not appoint Mr. H. Insley Senator ad interim in place of Caldwell. Mr. Insley is a particular friend of ex-Senator Pomeroy and closely connected with the railroad interests of the State, neither of which facts will commend him to Governor Osborne's favor. The Navy Department, in response to a request from Professor Wise, has forwarded to that balloonatic traveler a navigator's chart of the Atlantic ocean from the Hydrographio office, and a chart of the stars from the Naval Observatory; a wind chart and other meteorological information whb sent from the Signal office some 'time ago. General Eaton, the Commissioner of Education, has just issued his third annual report. It consists of about 1000 pages of interesting educational matter, several maps, copied from the census of 1870, intended to show the advantage of education. One table taken from the census shows that the total number of male adults in 1870 was 9,443,001, of which 169,142 males were illiterate, and that of 0,090,999 females, 2,090,049 were in tho same ignorant condition. The percentage is therefore 17.16 males and 23.05 females. Advices from the Pawnee reservation in Nebraska say the Pawnees are preparing for war with the Sioux, in retaliation for the attack upon them some days ago. They are said to have about six hundred warriors among themselves, and have invited the Otos, Omaha, Yanktons and Ptiieas to join them, nearly all of whom accepted the invitation, and at last ac counts the braves of these tribes were either at or on their way to the Pawnee reservations. The Pawnees expect 'to muster 1600 warriors to prosecute a re lentless war against the eioux. The InaineuM Wheat Crop or the Reports from all sections of the North west regarding the crops indicate a most bountiful harvest. In Minnesota and Wisconsin the yield is literally immense. The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce are already alarmed about their capacity to store the 40,000,000 bushels of surplus grain they calculate upon seeking a mar ket mere, lelarraphic advices from fortyfive points in Northern Iowa (on the 8th inst.i SDeak of the wheat harvest aa being nearly over and a splendid crop gatnerea averaging near to twenty bush. els per acre; oats good, and heavy yield is most localities about fifty bushels to the acre while in some few spots the yield will be small; corn promises splendidly in some places, but in others the prospects are very discouraeim suffering: for rain. and only onehalf to threefonrths crop expected; barley reports generally discouraging usually light yield, in many places blighted and poor, and in some others of excellent Quality. Urasshoppers have caused great loss in all grains in parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa; Rock county (Minn.), in southeast corner ol State, su tiered a loss of full half its crops in a little over a day, ending on the Jisi nit.; fortunately a heavy rain and strong wind stayed toe destruction.

General Rosier Makes a Xew Dis covery in Ills Surveying Kanedl tlon. New York, Aug. 15. General Rosser, in charge oi the railroad survey ol Uen, Stanley's Yellow Stone Expedition, has submitted to the authorities of the North' em Pacific Railroad company, of this city, his official reports of the results thus far accomplished in the expeditions. He finds a new and final route across Western Dakota, from the Missouri to the Yellow stone river, entirely practicable and satisfactory, it being greatly superior to those ot former days. Ihe distance, two hundred and five miles, is twentyone miles shorter than the survey of 1871. The gradients are moderate, the average ol work per mile is less and the number of important bridges is reduced two- thirds. The Little Missouri river, which the former surveys crossed seven and eleven times, ta crossed once on a line so located. Ihe route runs immediately through only one mile of bad clay land, just east of the Little Missouri, with a tew rising into the low hills, the grass being excellent and the soil eood. Good water was found the entire distance, coal outcropping at various points in veins several feet in thickness, and the timber is more abundant than on the former routes. The report states that the main body of Ueneral (Stanley s expedition accompa nied the scientific corps, and most of the press correspondents did not accompany the engineers, who were escorted by Gen. Custar's detachment, but followed the old abandoned route south of Heart river; hence the descriptions of the region traversed by the main command do not apply to the country traversed by the new route for the road. The directors of the company have ac cepted the new line recommended by Gen. Rosser, from Bismarck to Yellow Stone crossing, and have called for proposals to grade and bridge this section of 205 miles. The expedition is now prosecuting the survey west up the left bank of Yellow Stone to Pompey's pillow, where it will join the survey made last year from the west, and thus complete the surveyed line across the continent. The entire command is expected to re turn to Fort Rice about October 1st. WASHINGTON. CONSULAR STATISTICS OF MEN AND LABOR. Washington, Aug. 15. Edward Young, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, has addressed a letter to the Consuls of the United States in Europe, requesting tbem to furnish such information as they can gather as to the average rates of wages received by mechanics and others, prices of principal articles of subsistence, cost of house rent, and such other statistics of labor as can be procured. In regard to laree manufactures they are requested to give the average weekly wages paid for each kind of labor; also the retail weekly expenses of mechanics, and to gather such tacts in regard to the health, comtort and morals as can be obtained. Mr. Young proposes to submit to Congress next winter a report of the cost and condition of labor in Europe as compared with the United States. RESUMPTION OP 8PKCIK PAYMENT. Treasurer Spinner, in a letter pubished to day, says the resumption of specie payment has been, and I think will be, put off till a time when the balance of trade shall be in our favor. When that time arrives resumption will be easy; in truth, it will from that cause come ot its own accord. The conversion of Governments to a class from a higher to a lower rate of interest is now progressing quite as fast as the present available force of the Treasury Department can comfortably manage it. As the prospect of its continuance seems to be certainly assured, it is now a question with the Secretary whether he will exchange for a 5 per cent, stock or wait until he can place the new stock at 44 or even at 4 per cent. . cotton crop reports. The returns of the Agricultural depart ment for the 1st of August indicate a general improvement in the condition and promise ot cotton since the 1st ot July. t he average condition on July 1st was 85.5 and August 1st 91.8. The chief drawback is the widespread apprehension of insect ravages, but cases in which they have an yet lniticted serious injury are few. The crop, on the whole, is still backward, though in many localities the rapid growth in July has brought it forward to an average advancement for the season. NEW YORK. an explanation ok motley's illness. New York, Aug 15. A London letter, dated July 31 says: "Mr. Motley's friends have for some time known his health was delicate, and will not be sur- Krised to learn he is now confined to his otel by a somewhat serious attack. He has had a slight paralytic stroke. It occurred as Mr. Motley was taking Lady Margaret Beaumont down to dinner. His right arm suddenly fell harmless to his side, and the side itself was also somewhat affected. He was carried to his hotel, in Dover street, and has not since left the room. Physicians agree in re garding the paralysis as by ns means serious nor likely to disable him for any long time. On inquiry, 1 was told he had been going on tavorauiy wan tne exception of considerable neuralgia pain. The truth I believe to be, that Motley's nerv- ous system has suffered, partly from over- t .i ; . 1 1 '. WOrK inu parity iruiu uircuiunuiiiuenui ills retirement from the mission to the court. He has never ceased to regard himself as ill treated and insulted, and, being a proud and sensitive man, the injury has not been forgotten." lISSATISFIEP pilots. The pilots and the Pilot Commissioners here condemn the proposed plan Of the Secretary of the Treasury to make them Government omcers. VERY ASTONISHING.

THE WAWASETT HORROR. Investigation of the Disaster Evl- d nee of the Officers-One Hundred and Fifty Passengers Abuard Al lowed to Carry Only Fifty. Washington, Aug. 15. The examina tion into the Wawasett disaster comment ed to-day at the Treasury Department before George W. Taylor, acting Super- mtendinz Inspector ueneral ot Nteam- boats; William Rose, Inspector of Hulls at oavannah. ua.: and John jmgar. in spector of Boilers at Norfolk. The main ment of the steamer; second, the origin of the hre; third, the conductot the licensed officers, both prior and subsequent to the alarm being eivon. iho first witnesses examined were Jas. D. Lowry, Inspector of Hulls, and William O. Savillee, Inspector of Boilers at Baltimore, who made the last inspection, from whose testimony it appeared that the steamer was thoroughly inspected in March last, and everything the law re quires was found . there without a single exception. Captain Wood, of the vv awasett, at the time of the alarm of fire, said he called to the passengers to keep cool, as he did not see any reason for excitement. He thought there would be time to put out the fire, but in less time than he can relate this, the flames burst out in heavy volumes. The pilot was licensed by the United States, but the captain was not. It was impossible for him to get aft after me nre was discovered, what he did on that occasion, he would repeat under future and similar circumstances. He thought the fire originated in the firemen's room. No doubt the fire had been burning for some time before the door was opened, which gave a draft to the flames. The engineer was driven from the room in an instant. The mate and clerk generally have charge of the passengers and freight, but at the time of the fire, were trying to save passengers. JNobody was specially tending to the boats and life-preservers at the time ot the lire. Unly one passenger was lost forward. The captain said there were on board 125 passengers, not counting children. The license showed that the boat was permitted to carry only 60 passengers, The captain said that he was under the im pression that lie was allowed to carry tou passengers. Fifty passengers would not pay the expenses of the steamer. The boat was well provided with all applian ces for saving the boat and lives. There were between four and hvo hundred lite preservers, only two of which were known to have been used. Not a soul would have been lost if the engines had not suddenly stopped. Robert flash, engineer ol the boat, was examined: The tillers were chain and rods and part of rope, for ten feet on each side of the wheel. He had always found the firemen attentive to business. The steamer was as well equipped as any boat could be. nothing whatever was the matter with the boiler to cause the fire. All that was possible to do, was done to save the passengers. The flames appeared so suddenly, and the boat was so soon on fire, that no one had time to think. Mr. Saville was recalled, and said he had known Nash four years; he was a strictly sober and competent engineer, and was always found at his post. His character was good. . The clerk, mate, engineer, a number oi the crew and several passengers were examined, but nutliliig new elicited. The testimony was to tho effect that there was no chance for those aft to reach the forward part of the boat. None could tell or even conjecture the origin of the fire. The conduct of the officers was good throughout. Great care has always been taken to prevent fires. Orders in this respect werestrict. The pumps were always in good order. The committee adjourned till lo-mor- row. Caiitttin Gedley says the license pro duced to-day allowing only fifty passengers to the Wawasett was erroneous, as he had in his possession a permit signed by the proper officer, allowing for this year, as ncreioiore, one miiiurcu mm nuv jhib- scngers. - THE TURF.

Lowenstein is twenty-four years of age, five feet six inches high, weight about one hundred and forty pounds, dark hair and moustache. He wore when he left a light drab chequered suit, panama hat and gaiter shoes. He is probably alone. The Governor has offer ed $500 reward for the apprehension of Lowenstein.

New York, Aug 15.--One of the women arrested in Brooklyn last night is Mrs. Weston, wife of the one-armed man found horribly murdered a week ago near Albany, and in her possession was found a seven-barreled revolver, emptied. One of the other women was the wife of E. Lowenstein, and another revolver was tonnd on her, with hre barrels emptied, Another woman, nnkown, was also arrested.

A Refractory Penitentiary Convict Mhot and Killed. . Michigan City, Ind Aug. 15. This morning while C. A. Manning, Deputy Warden of the prison, and Mr. bt. John, President of the Board of Directors, were alone in the guard room of the prison, J , Simpson, a prisoner, having armetf himself with a cooper's broadax, came into the room and advanced toward Manning, saying: "D n you, I will kill you." The ueputy drew his revolver and ordered the man from the room, threatening at the same time to shoot if be did not obey, The only response he made was an attempt to strike, springing Irom side to side to avoid the pistol and advancing on the Deputy, who stilt continued to order him from the room on pain of being shot. At this juncture Bt. John, who could obtain no better weapon, took a chair and aimed a blow at the prisoner, which un fortunately touched the Deputy, who was somewhat in the rear of St. John at the time. The blow, however, fell on the prisoner, but with insufficient force to prevent his further advance. Recovering himself he rushed at the Deputy, aiming a blow, when the latter fired. Undaunted for an instant, the prisoner still advanced, when the Deputy fired twice again. Mustering his failing strength the prisoner threw the ax with all his force, narrowly missing the Deputy's head, and then fell back, and as he lell the JJenuty tared a fourth shot. 1 he Bee ond shot was fatal, as it was afterward discovered. No motive for the murderous attack is known, except Simpson had once escapeu, anu iiau an iota manning iiau reported him to the prison authorities J J I J i.l Hf f 1 1 when he escaped. The Uoroner's jury returned a verdict exonerating Manning irom an blame. New York Castoin House Stealing, New York, Aug. 15. On Tuesday last Secretary Richardson received in formation from New York to the effect that an investigation into the manner in which employes in the Appraiser's office and a number of Deputy Collectors con ducted business, it might be found that the Interests ot the Lulled states were not properly protected. There were also sug gestions as to fraud and collusion on the part of this class of officials, including in all about sixty persons. Those charged with the investigations said now to be making in the Custom House, will not give information. All sorts of rumors are current, one being that the report to the Secretary of the Treasury was based upon the statements of a man who, being dissatisfied witlrhis share of moneys received, disclosed all he knew about the matter. A Washington special saya Secretary Richardson, when asked about the truth of the report published, said : "The Treasury lepartment is always investi gating, not only in New York but every port where much business is done. It is necessary to be constantly on guard. Sometimes reports come from apparently disinterested parties, while at other times charges are specifically made by agents of the Department, who have facilities for "detecting fraud that mercantile communities little dream of. In this case, referring to the New York, the information filed came from a man whose reports heretofore have been found strict ly correct. Sweeping as they were, it was the duty of the Collector to investigate, and while there is good reason for believing a number are guilty, some may be innocent. I cannot say till I see the result of the investigation what number will be discharged." Fatal Shootlne Aflny Besult of wmsby. - Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 15. Thos. Smith, a wealthy farmer of Wayne township, in this county, shot and mortally wounded John Feister, a farmer aged twentytwo, at Taylorsville, eight miles from this city, this afternoon.

Cur Thieves Arrested. Conductor Patterson, in charge of a freight train on the Little Miami rail- road,v discovered, while his train was at Morrow night before last, that the seal a one of his cars had been broken, and on further investigation showed that the thief was inside. The conductor imme diately closed and secured the door, telegraphed the situation to Depot Policeman McDonald, of this city, and moved on. When the train arrived in this city at daylight yesterday morning, the officer secured his man, and gave him the cheerful information that he had committed an offense which might send him to the Penitentiary. The prisoner, a German, was much alarmed at this announcement, and probably on the principle that "misery loves company," informed his captor that there was "an under fellow among the boxes in dot car." The "under fellow" was dragged out, and the pair now rest In the calaboose, awaiting transportation to the scene of their depredation. They give the names of L. Benetle and James Williams. . - Tho Cholera. Mr. Conway, in the Courtright block, in the North End, was very seriously ill yesterday, and the common rumor was that he had cholera; but physicians had not pronounced it so at the time of our latest information. No new cases of cholera were reported yesterday. We learn that there have been two deaths from cholera not hitherto reported- Lizzie Schart, a little girl eight years old, in Miduletown, who was taken sick on Monday morning at two o'clock, and died at nine; and Miss Wiley, who died on Third avenue Thursday evening. It is also stated that a man whose sudden death on Livingston avenue we reported a few days ago, had cholera. Cases of alarm ing sicknes which the public have looked upon as cholera, are believed by physi cians to be of a malarial character, and the fact that a number of them have yielded to tho quinine treatment is confirmatory of the opinion. Tbe Minstrels. The programme reflecting in advance the performance of Cal. Wagner's Min strels at the Opera House to-night prom ises an entertainment satisfactory to the critical patrons of minstrelsy. It pre sents Cal. Wagner in new and original acts, Charles Heywood in the prima don na impersonations which have made him a conspicuous light in the profession, Sam Price in his fun on the end, the vocal quartette, Canfield, the Bookers, Ben Brown and others in specialties, etc. "A Flash of Lightning" is the extravaganza which will conclude the fusilade of fun. Mr. Haverly, the manager, has applied the best of organizing talent, and an ex cellent minstrel company is conceded to be the result. Ohio Central Normal SehMl. The Professor Lewis mentioned in tbe following notice from the Sandusky Register is Montgomery II. Lewis, formerly of this city, where he has many friends still. He is a graduate of the Columbus High School, and has always been a thor ough, conscientious, and capable worker. We quote from tbe Register of August 8 : We are informed that Prof. M. H. Lewis, of this city, has become connected with the Ohio Central Normal School at Worthington, as Associate Principal with Prof. John Ogden, he having purchased the interest of f rot. Mitchell. While we regret to lose Mr. Lewis from onr city, we heartily congratulate tne mends ot education in the central part of the State upon securing the services of so valuable an educator In their midst, for tne past twelve rears Prof. Lewis has been promi nently Identified with the school work of Ohio, for several years as Principal ot the Zanesville schools, and later for some years as Principal of the High School of this citv, hlling these responsible posi tions with marked ability. A man of fine culture and scholarly tastes, he will bring to his new field of labor rips expe rience and business tact necessary to the successful management of the institution with whose future work and prosperity he becomes identified. The "God speed" of many friends here will go with Prof. Lewis to his new and enlarged field of educational labor. We bops hereafter to sneak somewhat in detail of the Ohio Cen tral Normal School. Samoa it for the present to say that since its inception, but little mora than a year ago, it has advanc ed so rapidly that It bids fair to become the leading Normal institution of our State..

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Who the de'il is editing the Journal? Dispatch. The de'il himsel. Associate Justice Swayne, of Ohio, it in now positively affirmed, will be ap pointed Chief J ustice. The Dispatch will observe that It is the Democratic ticket we want to "hoist" so high it will not come down again. , The Louisville Courier, which save it feels jolly "when the old Democratic bugle blows," enters into a labored de fense of the Salarr Kill. The farmers have a worthy and genu ine representative on the Republican ticket in the person of the candidate for Treasurer of State. Mr. Welch has been a real farmer all his life, and is one still. The resolutions of the Pennsylvania Republican Convention condemn the Congressional practice of attaching to appropriation bills other measures not ger-nain to them. The Constitution of Ohio forbids that any bill shall relate to more than one subject matter, and it would sseem decidedly proper that the Constitution of the United States should contain a like provision. i : A Washington dispatch says the official statement of the Congressional printer shows that the cost of publishing the debates of Congress at the Government printing office will be from thirty to fifty per cent, less than it has been heretofore under private contract, thus saving about $200,000 each session. This reform waa effected through the indefatigable efforts of an Ohio Congressman, General Beatty. BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH.. General Butler lias commenced the erection of a block of brick buildings in Washington. At Selma, Ala., the first bale of new cotton was sold Wednesday at 17 cents per pound. The worms are lively throughout the cane-brakes west of Selma. A quorum of the Senate committee on Transportation has been secured to meet at New York on September 4. A large amount of valuable information on the subject has recently been received, including statistics from American Consuls. Mr. Vanderbilt, of the Treasury Department, returned yesterday morning from his investigation of supposed frauds in the New York Custom House, and reports to Secretary Kichardson tbect. was nothing whatever to implicate certain officers in wrongdoing. A Washington dispatch says the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in accordance with the provision of the act of Congress, is addressing circulars to all Collectors of Internal Revenue, directing them to report upon the nature of the business done by Savings banks. A Topeka, Kansas, letter states that Governor Osborne will not appoint Mr. H. Insley Senator ad interim in place of Caldwell. Mr. Insley is a particular friend of ex-Senator Pomeroy and closely connected with the railroad interests of the State, neither of which facts will commend him to Governor Osborne's favor. The Navy Department, in response to a request from Professor Wise, has forwarded to that balloonatic traveler a navigator's chart of the Atlantic ocean from the Hydrographio office, and a chart of the stars from the Naval Observatory; a wind chart and other meteorological information whb sent from the Signal office some 'time ago. General Eaton, the Commissioner of Education, has just issued his third annual report. It consists of about 1000 pages of interesting educational matter, several maps, copied from the census of 1870, intended to show the advantage of education. One table taken from the census shows that the total number of male adults in 1870 was 9,443,001, of which 169,142 males were illiterate, and that of 0,090,999 females, 2,090,049 were in tho same ignorant condition. The percentage is therefore 17.16 males and 23.05 females. Advices from the Pawnee reservation in Nebraska say the Pawnees are preparing for war with the Sioux, in retaliation for the attack upon them some days ago. They are said to have about six hundred warriors among themselves, and have invited the Otos, Omaha, Yanktons and Ptiieas to join them, nearly all of whom accepted the invitation, and at last ac counts the braves of these tribes were either at or on their way to the Pawnee reservations. The Pawnees expect 'to muster 1600 warriors to prosecute a re lentless war against the eioux. The InaineuM Wheat Crop or the Reports from all sections of the North west regarding the crops indicate a most bountiful harvest. In Minnesota and Wisconsin the yield is literally immense. The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce are already alarmed about their capacity to store the 40,000,000 bushels of surplus grain they calculate upon seeking a mar ket mere, lelarraphic advices from fortyfive points in Northern Iowa (on the 8th inst.i SDeak of the wheat harvest aa being nearly over and a splendid crop gatnerea averaging near to twenty bush. els per acre; oats good, and heavy yield is most localities about fifty bushels to the acre while in some few spots the yield will be small; corn promises splendidly in some places, but in others the prospects are very discouraeim suffering: for rain. and only onehalf to threefonrths crop expected; barley reports generally discouraging usually light yield, in many places blighted and poor, and in some others of excellent Quality. Urasshoppers have caused great loss in all grains in parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa; Rock county (Minn.), in southeast corner ol State, su tiered a loss of full half its crops in a little over a day, ending on the Jisi nit.; fortunately a heavy rain and strong wind stayed toe destruction. Tm cotton crop of this year will not he less than 3,750,000 bales, or about one- uuno more tnan trie crop ol last year, uiuai ine ouia oi me crop is exported Sfl2n tan h.i -r .. jj r io-o i... ng already been shipped to European liui, coieny to rjigtsna. Eight new iron furnaces are being built on the Um of the Selma, Borne and Daltoo railroad. BY TELEGRAPH 10 THE 0BI0 STATE JOURNAL NORTHERN PA0IF0 SURVEY. General Rosier Makes a Xew Dis covery in Ills Surveying Kanedl tlon. New York, Aug. 15. General Rosser, in charge oi the railroad survey ol Uen, Stanley's Yellow Stone Expedition, has submitted to the authorities of the North' em Pacific Railroad company, of this city, his official reports of the results thus far accomplished in the expeditions. He finds a new and final route across Western Dakota, from the Missouri to the Yellow stone river, entirely practicable and satisfactory, it being greatly superior to those ot former days. Ihe distance, two hundred and five miles, is twentyone miles shorter than the survey of 1871. The gradients are moderate, the average ol work per mile is less and the number of important bridges is reduced two- thirds. The Little Missouri river, which the former surveys crossed seven and eleven times, ta crossed once on a line so located. Ihe route runs immediately through only one mile of bad clay land, just east of the Little Missouri, with a tew rising into the low hills, the grass being excellent and the soil eood. Good water was found the entire distance, coal outcropping at various points in veins several feet in thickness, and the timber is more abundant than on the former routes. The report states that the main body of Ueneral (Stanley s expedition accompa nied the scientific corps, and most of the press correspondents did not accompany the engineers, who were escorted by Gen. Custar's detachment, but followed the old abandoned route south of Heart river; hence the descriptions of the region traversed by the main command do not apply to the country traversed by the new route for the road. The directors of the company have ac cepted the new line recommended by Gen. Rosser, from Bismarck to Yellow Stone crossing, and have called for proposals to grade and bridge this section of 205 miles. The expedition is now prosecuting the survey west up the left bank of Yellow Stone to Pompey's pillow, where it will join the survey made last year from the west, and thus complete the surveyed line across the continent. The entire command is expected to re turn to Fort Rice about October 1st. WASHINGTON. CONSULAR STATISTICS OF MEN AND LABOR. Washington, Aug. 15. Edward Young, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, has addressed a letter to the Consuls of the United States in Europe, requesting tbem to furnish such information as they can gather as to the average rates of wages received by mechanics and others, prices of principal articles of subsistence, cost of house rent, and such other statistics of labor as can be procured. In regard to laree manufactures they are requested to give the average weekly wages paid for each kind of labor; also the retail weekly expenses of mechanics, and to gather such tacts in regard to the health, comtort and morals as can be obtained. Mr. Young proposes to submit to Congress next winter a report of the cost and condition of labor in Europe as compared with the United States. RESUMPTION OP 8PKCIK PAYMENT. Treasurer Spinner, in a letter pubished to day, says the resumption of specie payment has been, and I think will be, put off till a time when the balance of trade shall be in our favor. When that time arrives resumption will be easy; in truth, it will from that cause come ot its own accord. The conversion of Governments to a class from a higher to a lower rate of interest is now progressing quite as fast as the present available force of the Treasury Department can comfortably manage it. As the prospect of its continuance seems to be certainly assured, it is now a question with the Secretary whether he will exchange for a 5 per cent, stock or wait until he can place the new stock at 44 or even at 4 per cent. . cotton crop reports. The returns of the Agricultural depart ment for the 1st of August indicate a general improvement in the condition and promise ot cotton since the 1st ot July. t he average condition on July 1st was 85.5 and August 1st 91.8. The chief drawback is the widespread apprehension of insect ravages, but cases in which they have an yet lniticted serious injury are few. The crop, on the whole, is still backward, though in many localities the rapid growth in July has brought it forward to an average advancement for the season. NEW YORK. an explanation ok motley's illness. New York, Aug 15. A London letter, dated July 31 says: "Mr. Motley's friends have for some time known his health was delicate, and will not be sur- Krised to learn he is now confined to his otel by a somewhat serious attack. He has had a slight paralytic stroke. It occurred as Mr. Motley was taking Lady Margaret Beaumont down to dinner. His right arm suddenly fell harmless to his side, and the side itself was also somewhat affected. He was carried to his hotel, in Dover street, and has not since left the room. Physicians agree in re garding the paralysis as by ns means serious nor likely to disable him for any long time. On inquiry, 1 was told he had been going on tavorauiy wan tne exception of considerable neuralgia pain. The truth I believe to be, that Motley's nerv- ous system has suffered, partly from over- t .i ; . 1 1 '. WOrK inu parity iruiu uircuiunuiiiuenui ills retirement from the mission to the court. He has never ceased to regard himself as ill treated and insulted, and, being a proud and sensitive man, the injury has not been forgotten." lISSATISFIEP pilots. The pilots and the Pilot Commissioners here condemn the proposed plan Of the Secretary of the Treasury to make them Government omcers. VERY ASTONISHING. The parade of the Legion of St. Pat rick s to-day passed oil quietly. Weather Probabilities. Washington, Aug. 15.

THE WAWASETT HORROR. Investigation of the Disaster Evl- d nee of the Officers-One Hundred and Fifty Passengers Abuard Al lowed to Carry Only Fifty. Washington, Aug. 15. The examina tion into the Wawasett disaster comment ed to-day at the Treasury Department before George W. Taylor, acting Super- mtendinz Inspector ueneral ot Nteam- boats; William Rose, Inspector of Hulls at oavannah. ua.: and John jmgar. in spector of Boilers at Norfolk. The main ment of the steamer; second, the origin of the hre; third, the conductot the licensed officers, both prior and subsequent to the alarm being eivon. iho first witnesses examined were Jas. D. Lowry, Inspector of Hulls, and William O. Savillee, Inspector of Boilers at Baltimore, who made the last inspection, from whose testimony it appeared that the steamer was thoroughly inspected in March last, and everything the law re quires was found . there without a single exception. Captain Wood, of the vv awasett, at the time of the alarm of fire, said he called to the passengers to keep cool, as he did not see any reason for excitement. He thought there would be time to put out the fire, but in less time than he can relate this, the flames burst out in heavy volumes. The pilot was licensed by the United States, but the captain was not. It was impossible for him to get aft after me nre was discovered, what he did on that occasion, he would repeat under future and similar circumstances. He thought the fire originated in the firemen's room. No doubt the fire had been burning for some time before the door was opened, which gave a draft to the flames. The engineer was driven from the room in an instant. The mate and clerk generally have charge of the passengers and freight, but at the time of the fire, were trying to save passengers. JNobody was specially tending to the boats and life-preservers at the time ot the lire. Unly one passenger was lost forward. The captain said there were on board 125 passengers, not counting children. The license showed that the boat was permitted to carry only 60 passengers, The captain said that he was under the im pression that lie was allowed to carry tou passengers. Fifty passengers would not pay the expenses of the steamer. The boat was well provided with all applian ces for saving the boat and lives. There were between four and hvo hundred lite preservers, only two of which were known to have been used. Not a soul would have been lost if the engines had not suddenly stopped. Robert flash, engineer ol the boat, was examined: The tillers were chain and rods and part of rope, for ten feet on each side of the wheel. He had always found the firemen attentive to business. The steamer was as well equipped as any boat could be. nothing whatever was the matter with the boiler to cause the fire. All that was possible to do, was done to save the passengers. The flames appeared so suddenly, and the boat was so soon on fire, that no one had time to think. Mr. Saville was recalled, and said he had known Nash four years; he was a strictly sober and competent engineer, and was always found at his post. His character was good. . The clerk, mate, engineer, a number oi the crew and several passengers were examined, but nutliliig new elicited. The testimony was to tho effect that there was no chance for those aft to reach the forward part of the boat. None could tell or even conjecture the origin of the fire. The conduct of the officers was good throughout. Great care has always been taken to prevent fires. Orders in this respect werestrict. The pumps were always in good order. The committee adjourned till lo-mor- row. Caiitttin Gedley says the license pro duced to-day allowing only fifty passengers to the Wawasett was erroneous, as he had in his possession a permit signed by the proper officer, allowing for this year, as ncreioiore, one miiiurcu mm nuv jhib- scngers. - THE TURF.

It being as certained that the wife of Weston, the man murdered near here by Emil Lowen-stein, of Brooklyn, did not start for St. Louis with liowenstein, (Jhiet of 1'olice McCoy has notified the police of Western cities of that fact. Lowenstein is twenty-four years of age, five feet six inches high, weight about one hundred and forty pounds, dark hair and moustache. He wore when he left a light drab chequered suit, panama hat and gaiter shoes. He is probably alone. The Governor has offer ed $500 reward for the apprehension of Lowenstein. The murder was a most hor-riflle one. New York, Aug 15.--One of the women arrested in Brooklyn last night is Mrs. Weston, wife of the one-armed man found horribly murdered a week ago near Albany, and in her possession was found a seven-barreled revolver, emptied. One of the other women was the wife of E. Lowenstein, and another revolver was tonnd on her, with hre barrels emptied, Another woman, nnkown, was also arrested. They were all found in Wes ton's house on Palmetto street. Brook, lyn. in onehalf of which Lowen stein and wife lived, Weston occupying the other part. Weston, the murdered man, was a' soldier, and sold prize packages for a living, and the day he left Brooklyn he drew considerable money from banks. It is believed Weston's wife assisted E. Lowenstein in murdering her husband; that the the wife of Lowenstein witnessed the murder, and that the other woman was cognizant of the affair. They were all taken to Albany to-night. A Refractory Penitentiary Convict Mhot and Killed. . Michigan City, Ind Aug. 15. This morning while C. A. Manning, Deputy Warden of the prison, and Mr. bt. John, President of the Board of Directors, were alone in the guard room of the prison, J , Simpson, a prisoner, having armetf himself with a cooper's broadax, came into the room and advanced toward Manning, saying: "D n you, I will kill you." The ueputy drew his revolver and ordered the man from the room, threatening at the same time to shoot if be did not obey, The only response he made was an attempt to strike, springing Irom side to side to avoid the pistol and advancing on the Deputy, who stilt continued to order him from the room on pain of being shot. At this juncture Bt. John, who could obtain no better weapon, took a chair and aimed a blow at the prisoner, which un fortunately touched the Deputy, who was somewhat in the rear of St. John at the time. The blow, however, fell on the prisoner, but with insufficient force to prevent his further advance. Recovering himself he rushed at the Deputy, aiming a blow, when the latter fired. Undaunted for an instant, the prisoner still advanced, when the Deputy fired twice again. Mustering his failing strength the prisoner threw the ax with all his force, narrowly missing the Deputy's head, and then fell back, and as he lell the JJenuty tared a fourth shot. 1 he Bee ond shot was fatal, as it was afterward discovered. No motive for the murderous attack is known, except Simpson had once escapeu, anu iiau an iota manning iiau reported him to the prison authorities J J I J i.l Hf f 1 1 when he escaped. The Uoroner's jury returned a verdict exonerating Manning irom an blame. New York Castoin House Stealing, New York, Aug. 15. On Tuesday last Secretary Richardson received in formation from New York to the effect that an investigation into the manner in which employes in the Appraiser's office and a number of Deputy Collectors con ducted business, it might be found that the Interests ot the Lulled states were not properly protected. There were also sug gestions as to fraud and collusion on the part of this class of officials, including in all about sixty persons. Those charged with the investigations said now to be making in the Custom House, will not give information. All sorts of rumors are current, one being that the report to the Secretary of the Treasury was based upon the statements of a man who, being dissatisfied witlrhis share of moneys received, disclosed all he knew about the matter. A Washington special saya Secretary Richardson, when asked about the truth of the report published, said : "The Treasury lepartment is always investi gating, not only in New York but every port where much business is done. It is necessary to be constantly on guard. Sometimes reports come from apparently disinterested parties, while at other times charges are specifically made by agents of the Department, who have facilities for "detecting fraud that mercantile communities little dream of. In this case, referring to the New York, the information filed came from a man whose reports heretofore have been found strict ly correct. Sweeping as they were, it was the duty of the Collector to investigate, and while there is good reason for believing a number are guilty, some may be innocent. I cannot say till I see the result of the investigation what number will be discharged." Fatal Shootlne Aflny Besult of wmsby. - Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 15. Thos. Smith, a wealthy farmer of Wayne township, in this county, shot and mortally wounded John Feister, a farmer aged twentytwo, at Taylorsville, eight miles from this city, this afternoon.

Cur Thieves Arrested. Conductor Patterson, in charge of a freight train on the Little Miami rail- road,v discovered, while his train was at Morrow night before last, that the seal a one of his cars had been broken, and on further investigation showed that the thief was inside. The conductor imme diately closed and secured the door, telegraphed the situation to Depot Policeman McDonald, of this city, and moved on. When the train arrived in this city at daylight yesterday morning, the officer secured his man, and gave him the cheerful information that he had committed an offense which might send him to the Penitentiary. The prisoner, a German, was much alarmed at this announcement, and probably on the principle that "misery loves company," informed his captor that there was "an under fellow among the boxes in dot car." The "under fellow" was dragged out, and the pair now rest In the calaboose, awaiting transportation to the scene of their depredation. They give the names of L. Benetle and James Williams. . - Tho Cholera. Mr. Conway, in the Courtright block, in the North End, was very seriously ill yesterday, and the common rumor was that he had cholera; but physicians had not pronounced it so at the time of our latest information. No new cases of cholera were reported yesterday. We learn that there have been two deaths from cholera not hitherto reported- Lizzie Schart, a little girl eight years old, in Miduletown, who was taken sick on Monday morning at two o'clock, and died at nine; and Miss Wiley, who died on Third avenue Thursday evening. It is also stated that a man whose sudden death on Livingston avenue we reported a few days ago, had cholera. Cases of alarm ing sicknes which the public have looked upon as cholera, are believed by physi cians to be of a malarial character, and the fact that a number of them have yielded to tho quinine treatment is confirmatory of the opinion.
