E. Hilgard, Wil liam Sellers, F. Chandler and Henry Morton: Treasury Department, Washington, D. C August 31,1875. Gentlemen :—You are hereby appointed a commission to examine and report upon a certain process for water-proofing paper and for the purpose of indicating as nearly as possible the duties devolving upon you in connection therewith. The following is given for your guidance: The department desires the commission to report First, on the usefulness of the process for increasing the durability and securityjagainst counterfeiting of notes. Second, Their judgement as to what would be a just and fair compensation to the patentee assuring the patent to be valid. Respectfully, (Signed.) B. II. Bristow., Secretary. The Seminole Negro Indians. Washington, Aug. 31.—The War De partment has forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior a copy of the report from Ninth Calvary dated Fort Clark, stating that the Seminole Negro Indians, now at Forts Clark and Duncan, Texas, are in a destitute condi tion and desire to be sent to Arizona, where they can obtain a living or be sent back to Florida, from whence they were taken. Colonel Natch reports the total number of these negroes at about five hundred men, women, and children, about sixty of these are boyg. If the Government cannot provide land suitable for cultivation they beg to be sent to Florida where, without owning land, they can obtain land to work until means arc created by their lafior to purchase land. They represent tlpit when they were trans ferred with the Seminole Indians from Florida to the Western Territory, their women and children were kidnapped both by Indians and white men and sold into slavery. These" forced them to clear the country and go to Mexico. They were induced to return to Texas by promises which had never been filled. A few now eniploped by the Govern ment as Indian scouts is the only means they have of support. These men are now away from their families on distant scouts. Many of the men who arc carried on the rolls of Scminolos scouts arc discharged soldiers from colored regimen ts or servants of officers discharged - Colhateh concludes ns follows : if this stata of affairs continues they will undoubtedly return to Mexico, go to the mountains below San Carlos, about one hundred and fifty miles west of the Rio Grande, there they can depradatc upsn the ranches of Texas and furnish an asylum for deserters, both white and black from this frontier. These perior to the Indians of this region in fighting qualities. I believe it humanity aml economy to put these people in q way of self support, and if not colonized (ft *L government reservation, send them*,* Q.cg-I request, to Florida. The movement would not be expensive, they could be furnished wlth a years provisions, issued monthly, or , ., i , • when they asked for it.

Boston Post. • A correspondent sends the following; "In crossing Washington street yesterday, a lady slipped and fed, hurting one of. her ankles. A youth sprang to assist her, and seeing an express wagon coming directly for them, called out for tliq expressman to look out. The latter did not do it, but drove rigid at them, when the youth seized the bridle and forced the horse back. The ex pressman came down from his seat on the wagon, swearing and making allusions not of a pleasant kind to the boy. The latter was transformed for an instant into a savage, sprang forward and struck the man full In the face, knocking him down, and then placing his foot on Ills breast, seemed pre pared to strike, him again. All this took place in less than a minute, and several gentlemen, including myself, stepped for ward and interposed. The expressman was taken in charge by a policeman, and the youth went off, giving no name. has at the re PEACH GROWERS PEACHED VPdX. The Baltimore American of yesterday says: Another delegation of peach girls from Round Top, Rent county, on their wVy back to Philadelphia, arrived in Baltimore yester day morning and applied to Mayor Vansant for transportation home. As in the case of the two delegations which called upon him on Friday and Saturday of last week, they told a sorrowful story in regard to their treatment. They Say they could, by hard labor, earn forty cents a day, and had to pay two dollars per week board. They declared that none were paid money, but were given checks for their wages, payable at the end of the season, so that any who went away before the close received nothing at all for their labor. They represented that the food provided was very poor ; that the only thing fit to eat was the bread, and that was of in ferior quality. At Bight they had to sleep in bunks on straw ticking, with no bed clothing except they brought it with them. About four hundred peach girls, they said, were crowded in the sleeping apartments. Among the women, it is said, were some who had been taken out of the Baltimore city' jail. The Mayoi furnished the applicants transportation on hoard a steamboat to Phil adelphia, with money to procure meals, and they went on their way rejoicing. This makes twenty-four girls Mayor Vansant has sent back to Philadelphia at the expense of the city of Baltimore on account of the peach crop. of ff BALL AXDRAT.
