fiscal year are about the same as the sum appropriatedduring the last session or Congressfor the year ending with June next, namely,$14,w>,COO. As there are some old vessels notworth repairing, ai.u therefore useless, the Secretaryin his report will probably recommendthat they be sold and the proceeds applied tothe general fund for repairs.

The Secretary hase^amln l themcarefully. As a result of the examination theDistrict < onimlsstoners have, ic Is understood,been called on by him for a revision of the estimatessubmitted, because they were not;clently sp« ciflc.

Thedepartment is now purchasing gold for greenbacksat three points.Boise City, Iowa; Denver,Colorado, and Charlotte, North Carolina. AtCharlotte, the amount being purchased is aboutf4,ooo a week.

Illspresence here led to the circulation of a rumorthat charges had been preferred against him.but the existence of any charges is denied at thestate department, Doctor Scott has contributedan important paner to the secretary of Stat. ,recommending the modification of the existingtreaty of reciprocity between this governmentand Hawaiian gov ernment. He says that thevalue of the articles imported to us from theSandwich Islands Is six times that of the articlesexported by us to the island, and thatunder the treaty as it now exists, the UnitedStates admits free of duty the sugar and riceproduct of Honolulu, and for what It exportsgets no adequate return.a Southern Democrat's IlopErci. View of

the Situation..Mr. A. D. Hanks, of Miss., whowas at ore time secretary of the National Democraticcommittee, is at the Klggs House. Hetakes rather a roseate view of the iiolitical situation,and thinks that the republicans are beginningto crow before they are well out of thewoods. He says that, adding the greenbackvote to the democratic vote, the republicans arein the minority in obio, New York, New Jerseyand Connecticut. a Star reporter asked him:" But how do you propose to reconcile the differencesbetween the hard and soft money democrate?" Said Mr. Banks, in reply; "They willbe reconciled. What is the use of a party whichfor y ears has been fighting for constitutionalgovernment quarreling, now that the reins ofthe government are almost within its grasp.The same fare for all is offered on the democratictable, and this quarrel about the waiterswill soon end. I think that the differences between the democracy on the financial questionwill be healed by the wiping out of the nationalbanks; when the government shall issue onlyits own notes and the national bank notes arereplaced by greenbacks or coin, then the democracywill come together again and be full ofv Uallty for the campaign of isso.The Oshkosh German who is Imprisoned in

His Fatherland..1The case of the naturalizedGerman citiven of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, whowent to Germany and was arrested for expressinghimself too freely concerning the conduct ofthe German government, has been brought tothe attention of the Department of State, ourminister to Germany, Bayard Taylor, has beenInstructed to inquire into the case, and reportto the department, interference in behalf ofthe man arrested will be had if found j'tstlflable.Under the Bancroft treaty if a naturalizedGerman returns for two years to his nativecountry he loses all claim to protection fromthis government. Though the German in questionhas not remained for that period In Germany,there are other matters to be taken intoconsideration before Interference in his behalfwill be made.Midshipman Frederick b. Vinton has been

promoted to be an ensign in the U. S. navy.

was hoped had boon suppressed, has brokenout again. A large number of '-moonshiners"were allowed to come into court, plead guilty,and have their sentences suspended.

war upon the British empire in India, and.although, he had repelled all efforts foramicable intercourse by the Indian government,he formally received a Kussian emoassy, andfinally, while the Russian mission was still att'abuh he forcibly repulsed the English envoy,whose coming had been duly notitied to him,and met our attempts to promote friendly relationswith open indignity and denance. TheAmeer, mistaking for weakness the long for01arance of the British government, thus deliberatelyincurred its just resentment withthe sirdars and peopleof Afghanistan.
