It may be lhwe books would be too eloquent in the ex posure ot tlie management of his depart ment. The report of the committee which has been examining the affairs of the government printing bureau, made to the secretary of the treasury y?f terday, is a sad commentary on the past administration, revealing, as it does, a wholesale pjslem of fraud and extrava gance, by which millions of the people's money were appropriated to "subserve," the committee remarks, "to a great extent, the purpose of an almshouse, or an asylum for outside parties." The committee shows that th force employed wa3 three times as great as necessary for the demands of the department. Upon the sub ject of the distinctive paper used for securi ties, the committee say: "On May 1st, there was on hanl in the department the enormous quantity of eighteen million seven hundred and sixteen thousand two hundred and sixty six (sheet of distinctive paper, weighing two thousand ei'ut hundred pounds, and costing more than tlnei hundred thousand dollars. Of this amount nfaily three and a half mil lion sheets having been made for issues discontinued, and being of sizes unavailable for any other purpose will be a total loss to the government A large part of the check paper also is of a k;nd no longer used for check, and is good for nothing else. At the present rate of printing, national bank note paper, amounting to more than four million sheets, will last for nearly two years, while the United States note paper, amounting to more than s-.-ven million sheets, will last for more than six years."

Vienna. Vienna, June 19. In a few days a mani festo will be issued by the czar, on the occa sion of the crossing of the Danube, for which preparations on a grand scale are now mak ing. The Turks are sending reinforcements to the mouth of the Timok, evidently sus Dectinar that the Russian desicm is to cross the Danube into Servia at Gladova. The Turks, with eighteen battalions, twelve field and twelve mountain guns, have fallen back from Ishakeeba to a very good position, two miles west of Zewin, on the Plateau, with outposts at Yenkine and Mezingerd. The right wing of the Fourteenth battalion twelve field and four mountain guns is falling back from Delibaba: the left winer of eight battalions and six mountain guns has retired from Olti to Hergiboaz. Kuperkir is held by three battalions, who have thrown up earth works to cover the bridge over the river Ar ras: four battalion s 'are preparing intrench- ments on the the Bevibozen. The Russians have advanced to Olti, Isha-kirbaba, Bakan yizh and Toprak Kaleh. The conduct of Ish mail Haski Pashas, governor of Erzeroum is severely criticized by the military authori ties. Great discontent exists. London. London, June 19. It is believed that Prince Milan will sign the convention with Russia, allowing her troops to cross the Dan ube at Gladova. Snlieman Pasha has left Nicsics and entered Montenegro to effect a junction with an Al- Danian envision. The Montenegrins have abandoned Dusa. Fass, and are concentrating in Ostrok Pass. Lieutenant-General Mehemet Ah has resumed the offensive. The position of the Montene grins is regarded as critical. Seventy thou sand Turks are operating against them. .trustworthy advices from St. fetersburg confirm the reported utter insufficiency of commissaries in Armenia and on the Danube. The czar is exasperated at the scanty sup- of provisions for the troops. e stock exchange opened hrm to-cav. but there haa been some relapse in prices in consequence ot the circulation ot baseless rumors regarding the attitude of England. A reduction of the Bank of England rate to two and a half per cent, is talked of. In the house ot commons this evening the under-secretary for the foreign department. in reply to the question of Mr. Dulane. a lib eral member, from Swansea, said it was not true that the Forte had requested Mr. Layard, the British ambassador at Constantinople, to permit the neutralization of the Suez canal for the simple reason that such a request had never been made. The Porte has not yet an swered the intimation contained in the pub lished papers. In no brigade ot Kussian troop3 collected to the south and west of Bukarest do the sick exceed three per cent., and even of these the ailments are never serious nor of an epidemic character. These facts are derived from in spection of the medical returns. There are exaggerated reports from the fact that all the sick in ambulances and held hospitals, whose recovery is likely to take time, have been re moved into reserve hospitals at Bukarest and other places behind the Danube line, so as to make room for- cases which the commence ment of fighting will inevitably cause. This has caused an unusual number of ambulance wagons to be seen in Bukarest. The Danube is higher at Galatz now than at any previous period this season, partly owing to the recent inundation, and the condition of the Reni road is very precarious. The date is not yet hxed upon tor the departure ot the general staff from Ploiesti. Outrages are proceeding unchecked in the province of Tultscha, and the christians are outlawed by the authorities and abandoned to the Tartars and Circassians. The villages and farmers are wantonly fired and buried with a view of rendering the couLtry a desert be fore the advance of the Russians will take place. Ghastly heads are carried every day by the blood-stained murderers into Tultscha, Matchin, Babadagh Pand Herzova. The flames of some of the burning villages are visible every night. The British consul at Smyrna announces that electric torpedoes have been laid at the f entrance of the bay. JJe Jewel 1'asha hasjbeen attached to the staff of Dervieh Pasha, commanding the Turkish troop at Batoura. Hassan Pasha re mains governor of Batoum. It is stated that Nicsics is revictualled for a year. A dispatch from Zara reports that the three Turkish columns which have entered Monte negro are advancing by the following route, respectively: Via Ozdrinik to Derzno, rut the Zelta valley to Bapoljevic, ri Pavia to Bogetic. At the last place, which is a Mon tenegrin depot of provisions and ammunitions, hguting has been going on since yesterday. Turkish headquarters are at Arndal. Ali Saib telegraphs from Scutari, Juno 18th, that he will shortly effect a junction with Sulieman Pasha. In a subsequent tele gram he claims that the Turks carried the nights of Martin, and probably Martinitji. Gariwicha and Velliedin, after a three hours' engagement. Fazli Pasha telegraphs from Sukum Kaleh on June 14th that thirteen thousand Russians who occupied Mexwika and Tchamtcham have been driven out, and an iron-clad move ment has been undertaken to cut off their re treat. The Frfncli l.'nrent. London, June 29. The Time says: "That rentes should rise with the political conflict in France is surprising to many. It is gen erally believed that the stock is manipulated for political ends by clerical revolutionists. A few operators have only to give notice that they want within three days the stock they previously bought for monthly account, and sellers have to bid for it and buy it at any price so as to be able to fulfill the demand." Versailles, June 19. The debate in the chamber of deputies continues. Louis Blanc has made a speech against the ministry, main taining that their duties are purely clerical. In the chamber of deputies, the debate on the interpellation was resumed. The prin cipal speech was made by Leon Renault, the former prefect of police, who addressed the house in the name of the left center and all conservatives who, on grounds of reason, had rallied to the republic. In vehement but pursuasive language he demonstrated the im possibility of turning backward and restoring the monarchy, as the president and cabinet would ruin the marshal as Polagnac had ru ined Charles X, and simply pave the way for a triumph of the Bona partis ts. Count de Choiseul then presented the fol lowing order of the day in behalf of a united left: Whereas, The ministry formed Mav 17th. under the presidency of Duke de Broghe. was called to the direction of public affairs contra ry to the iaw ot the majority, which is a leading principle of parliamentary govern ment, and has since assuming office avoided giving explanations to the national represent atives; whereas, it has upset the administra tion to crush universal suffrage by all means at its disposal; whereas, it represents merely a coalition of monarchists, guided by inspira- tions from the clerical party; whereas, it has allowed attacks on tbe national representa tives, and incitements to violations of law to pass unpunished: whereas, on all these grounds it imperils peace and order, and dis turbs business and the general interests, therefore the house declares that the ministry When the reading of the order was con cluded, there was much cheering. The min isters quitted their Beat? andthecheeiing was renewed. 1 he ministers returned and Air. Panes, minister of public works, said that the government was mdifierent as to any or der of the day the chamber might adopt, and that the country would soon pronounce its de cision. "Yes." exclaimed Gainbetta, "the country will choose between us." The order of the day was adopted by a vote of 363 against 153. Duke de Broglie has informed the sena torial committee on the dissolution proposal, that at elections the government would designate a candidate they favored, thus making use of that right, which, up to the present, has been recognized by all govern ments. The duke also stated that if the sen ate voted for dissolution the government would decree it immediately. The senate is summoned to meet again Wednesday. The debate on dissolution will commence at once, and night sittings will be held if necessary. WASHINGTON. Another Epistle from Secretary Sher man Relative to the New Syndicate Bonds The Fresh Outbreak of Indian Troubles. Orders to General Ord Relative to the Texas Border Difficulties The Nor Tray Exhibition The Treasure of Islam. Valuable Public Lands to be Sold In Ar kansas Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala bama, and Florida Cabinet Session, Etc. Washington, June 19. The following letter was decided upon at a cabinet meeting to-day and was mailed from the treasury de partment this afternoon : Trkasurv Department, I Washington, June 10, 1877. 1 To Francis O. French, Esq., New Torki Sir Your letter of the eighteenth instant, in which you inauire whether the four Der cent, bonds now oeing sold by the govern ment are payable, principal and interest, in gold coin, is received. Ihe subject from its great importance has demanded and received careful consideration. Under the laws now in force there is no coin is sued or issuable in which the principal of four per cent, bonds is redeemable or interest payable except in gold coins of the United States of the standard value fixed by the laws in force July 14, 1870, when the bonds were authorized. The government ex acts in exchange payment at tneir face value in such gold coin, and it is not to be antici pated that any further legislation of congress. or any action ot any department ot the government, would sanction or tolerate the redemption of the principal of these bonds or the payment of interest thereon in coins of less value than the coins authorized by law at the the time of the issue of the bonds, being the coins exacted by the government in exchange for the same. The essential ele ment of good faith in preserving equality in value between tne ooiaun m which too trov ernment receives and that in which it pays these bonds will be sacredly observed by the government and the people ot the United States, whatever may be the system of coin nge which the general policy ot the nation may at any time adopt. lhis principle is impressed upon the text of the laws or July 14. 137U. under which the four xer cent. bonds are issued, and requires, in the opinion ot the executive department ot the govern ment, a redemption of these bonds and the payment of their interest in coin of equal value with that which the government re ceives upon their issue. Very respectfully, JOHN SHERMAN, Sec'y. THE IDAHO INDIAN TROUBLES. General Sherman has received from Gen eral M'Dowell,at San Francisco, the following dispatch irom ueneral Howard, at iorttiap' wai, dated Washington Territory, sixteenth instant: "The Indians began by murdering a white man, in revenge lor a murder of his. killing three others at the same time. Since this they have begun a war upon the people near mount Idaho. Captain .Ferry started with two companies for them. Other troops are being brought forward as fast as possible, Give me authority for twenty-five Indian scouts, and I think we shall make short work Of it. HOWARD. General M'Dowell adds: "I have already informed General Howard of your desision that his division has all the Indian scouts that can be allowed." THE treasure of islam. Delaplaine charge de affaires of the United States at Vienna, savs the shiek of Ul Islam has recenty sent a delegation of doc tors of law to Chief Mecca, a direct descend ant of the prophet, for the purpose of de manding funds from the tj-easure of Islam, to be applied in defense of the Islam faith. This treasure is formed from the annual offer ings of the pilgrims which are accumulated in Kasbahai of Mecca. The chief of Mecca receives on an average fifteen million francs in the annual offerings. One offertory chest was opened during the Russo-Turkish war in 182, and several large sums were with drawn, but was afterward again closed. A second chest was opened in 1854, during the Crimean war, but the third chest has not been opened since 1415. It is conjectured that 1 the accumulation of money in the last-named ottei tory chest cannot be less than two hun dred and fifty million francs, and it is fully believed that the total amount of the treasure of Islam will exceed six hundred million francs, and even a much higher sum. CONTRACTS FOR NEW GOVERNMENT BUILD INGS. New contracts have been made with the Richmond and Bodwell granite companies lor stone for the north wing of the building to be used tor the state, war and navy de p.trtment. l hese contracts will be a saving to the L cited States on the cutting of the stone for the north wing, over the cost of cutting of stone for the south wing, of six hundred aqd seventy-two thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine dollars. Ihe prices agreed upon are based upon the wages of stone-cutters at three dollars per day. A lib eral allowance of time for the cutting of each stone and profit to contractors of from twenty to thirty per centum. The contracts do not exceed the appropriation. ORDERS TO GENERAL ORD. General Ord, commanding the department of Texas, has been directed to hold the pres ent Mexican soldiers taken in that State, a few days ago, while retreating from the rev olutionary forces of Mexico, if their release will lead to an encounter between them and the insurgents, but if they can be released and go to their quarters in Mexico without turther trouble they shall be set tree. A SnORT CABINET SES8ION. The cabinet meeting to-day was Rhorter than usual. No appointment were agreed upon. Most of the session was occupied with the discussion of rules for the government of appointments in the civil service throughout the country, which will soon be promulgated. PUBLIC SALE OF GOVERNMENT LANDS IN ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, ALA BAMA AND FLORIDA. The President to-day issued a proclamation declaring that a public sale of valuable gov ernment lands be held at the land office at Harrison, Arkansas, October 1st, under the act of congress of July 4, 1876, reopening to public sale the government lands in Arkan sas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, which had previously been subject only to homestead settlement.

While there appears to be no indications of unity of purpose among tne so-caned bpanish party, there are indica tions among individuals, Who Would gladly make peace with the insurgents upon almost any terms, if it were not for Spanish pride, as negotiations must surely result to the disad vantage of the Spaniards. The insurgents are not averse to negotiating peace, provid ing autonomy, with sumcient loreign guar antee being conceded. Sensible Cubans and some Spaniards, say they know the dangers surrounding entire independance, and would prefer annexation to the United States. When Martinez Campos arrived, eight months ago, with thirtv thousand men, tbe pacification ot the island was again prom ised at the end ot the winter campaign, but the result shows that thefad vantages gained were overbalanced by disadvantages. The condition of the island is not any better than it was last year at the same season, and the insurrection is as strong as ever. The only visible advantage gained during the whole winter campaign was the less burning of plantations. i.he treasury ot the island is ex hausted, is the daily publication of the situa tion. Last year at this date gold stood at 215: it now stands at 227. Very few Cubans have taking advantage of the amnesty decree: they have no confidence in it, and the state of affairs on the island is languid, prostrate and aisneanening. General Martinez Campos is in the field near Santiago, and decorated the flag of a battalion of sharp-shooters of San Uuen- tia with the collar of the order of San Fer nando for their gallantry in action at Gal' leta on the sixty of July, 1871. Unusually heavy rains in the district of Santiago retard onerations. A royal order has been issued approving tne laying oi a second caoie between santia go de Cuba and Jamaica. BRITISH GRAIN CROP. e tlMv-Urltlah, Grain crop steady improvement in the Asrlcultoral Situation. London, June 19. The Mark Lane Ex press, in its weekly review of British corn to-day, says: "Under the influence ot con tinued sunshine, a steady improvement has been going on in the agricultural situation. r orage and cereal crops are showmg unniis takeable signs of a healthy increase, the weather having become more settled; very little rain haa fallen, and the aspect of the country has undergone a rapid and favorable change. Wheat is now coming into ear, and with the exception of a few complaints as to color, reports speak favorable of the appear ance of the plant, which has been making rapid progress during the past lortnght. Bar ley and oats still leave something to be de sired, but beans afford satisfaction. In most districts light ram and subsequent sunshine have caused the pastures to exhibit a wonder ful improvement, and grass and clover have grown luxuriantly. As the cutting will com mence shortly, a continuance of dry weather is desirable, to enable crops which promise well to be gathered in good order. There seems reason to anticipate seasonable weather be tween this and harvest. The country mar kets continue to be meagerly supplied with home-grown wheat, while at Mark Lane the offerings have been auite insignificant Trade has teen dull, and lower prices would have been necessary to etfect sales: but grow ers evince considerable firmness. In spite oi the improvement ot the appearance ot home crops.in a very few cases sales have been pressed, and the value of the foreign-grown has necessarily suffered from sunshine and continued large imports into London, but as the market has been recently subject to un usual fluctuations it is unlikely that a reac tion may set in and a portion of the decline be recovered. This is rendered more feasible from the fact that the statistical po sition of trade remains the same and the requirements of the country between this and harvest will absorb all the available supply in sight. In the withdrawal of political influences from trade, which has given a dull and somewhat undue effect, and to the depressing tendency of fine weather and large foreign arrivals, inactivity has pre vailed throughout the trade during the past week, and business has been confined to the supply of the immediate wants of millers. who have been enabled to satisfy themselves at from one shilling to two shillings per quar ter lets money. Some want of animation has characterized the demand for feeding stuffs, and in a limited business the parsing tend ency of prices has been against sellers. With brilliant weather throughout the past week, tne floating cargo trade has been very dull umrKas, owing to scarcity, nearly main tained the previous valve, but other descrip iions nave rieen negiecieu. Lower prices would nave to be accepted to ettect sales. Maize ruled quiet, without quotable change, but barley declined sixpence to one shilling per quarter. TELEGRAPH UHIEFS.

Later. The troops, with one hundred and fifty men from Mount Idaho, encountered the Indians at the head of White Bird canon The troops dismounted, and left a few sol diers and twenty friendly Indians to hold the horses. The Indians opened fire upon the troops, and fighting was continued for some time. Ihe Inendly Indians became alarmed; the soldiers guarding the horses could see that the Indians were getting the best of the nght, and that the soldiers were retreating. The captain of the citizens and Sergeant Lytle and one soldier are known to have been killed The whole horse guards. Indians and whites. broke and ran, some for Mount Idaho and some for Lapwai, leaving the horses to run loose over the prairie. Those coming to Lapwai never stopped till they reached the post. Many houses on the prairie have been burned. Another soldier, who reached the trarrisoa. at eight o'clock on the morning of tne eighth, trom the hght, reporTccr u.cit rtitr troops were on foot and surrounded bv the In dians in the canon, and had a hand-to-hnnd fight.

Rodney s company is ordered from Fort Canby; Captain Burton's company at lJort lownsend is under orders Three companies of artillery just arrived at Port Townsend from Sitka are also or dered to the scene oi hostilities, n our com panies of cavalry in the department of Cali fornia are placed under order of General Howard, vt these companies that ot Captain Sumner, now at Preside.will go via Redding; company l, trom camp naiieck, will go via Winnemucia: company A. rirst cavalry, at Fort Bedewell, and company C, First caf a! ry, at t ort Uermot, will proceed to UenOral Howard's headquarters direct. In military circles the outbreak is considered serious The Indians are brave and warlike and well supplied with arm3. The total strength at the disposal of General Howard, when all the troops are placed under his orders, are concen trated, will only reach about eight hundred. while the strength of the Indians is estimated by some to be close on to two thousand, though probably a more reliable estimate reduces the number of warriors to about half that number, or, at most, fifteen hundred. A press dispatch from Portland savs Nothing has been received up to three o'clock this atternoon trom the scene ot trouble General Howard, who is now at Fort Lap wai, has sent telegraphic instructions to Ad jutant-General Wood to forward from the dinerent posts in this department all availa ble troops, with all possible speed. The steamer California, from Sitka, will arrive here to-morrow at midnight, having on board one hundred troops. These will take the boat ihursday morning for Lewiston, and from there proceed with all dispatch to the scene ot the difficulty. A courier left Dallas early this morning for Fort Harney, one hundred and htty miles distant, bearing orders trom General Howard to the officer in command of the post to proceed at once to Lapwai. Large quantities of arms and ammunition will be sent from the arsenal at Van Couver to-mor row morning, destined for Lapwai. The total military force will not aggregate four hun dred troops, which is totally inadequate to cope with the Jndans. Ihe com bined forces of Chief Joseph and White- Bird will not exceed two hundred warriors. but there are a number of disinterested tribes who, it is gravely feared, will be drawn into active hostilities. Those who are acquainted with the vast region of country lying west and north of Bitter Root mountains affirm that from fifteen hundred to three thousand warriors can be brought into the field in a short time, embracing the non-treaty Nez Perces tribes, Couer De Leni. Spokenes. Flat- heads, Palanz, and other scattered bands. It is generally thought that the uprising was was precipated, and that there was a precon certed or well-matured plan of action on the part ot the Indians. The scene ot war is located in Idaho Territory, sixty miles from Lewiston, and on what is known as the Camas prairie. Distance from Lewiston to Wallula by river of one hundred and sixty miles. which is the nearest point where the tele graph can be reached. The distance from Portland to the scene is over four hundred miles. A Portland press dispatch from Walla Walla, just received here, is to the effect that a young man has reached there from Mon tana, where he had been with a herd of cat tle. He reports having been detained several days by Indians under cover of the De Alene mountains, but effected his escape. He reports the mountains as being full of Indians, who are working down this wav. The excitement is on the increase A number of volunteers start for the upper country tins evening.
