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

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

not be expensive, they could be furnished

there is $38,000 in Mount Holly Bank for

that the reason credit docs not appear on

that the yellow fever is raging in and about

San'Fiiancisco, Aug. 31.— The excite

California, that the affairs of the bank are
in a much better condition than anticipated
with prospects of its resuming business with

cerning the affairs of the Bank of California

The Telegraphic Consolidation.
New York, Aug. 31.—A meeting of the
Directors and Trustees of the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company was held this
afternoon, to consider certain propositions
made by the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
looking to the consolidation of the two com
panies. Among those present were Jay
Gould, Sidney Dillon, U. J. Syms and others.
The session was not of longfduration. The
details of the proceedings have not been
made public; it is believed, however, that
■all negotiations for an amalgamation of the
!
jitvd companies have been broken off, and the
attempt of the Western Union Company to
absorb the Atlantic and Pacific', - -lias proved
a failure. It is understood'that two distinct
propositions were made to the Atlantic and
Pacific representatives, both of which were
rejected. One of these propositions received
but one affirmative vote, and the other was
rejected without debate, tlie members refu
sing to entertain it upon any consideration
One of the propositions, it is stated, was
tliqt the Atlantic and Pacifii?be consolidated
with or leased to the Western Union upon
a basis of $2,500,000 capital, the Wes
tern Union to pay eight per cent, interest
therefor, and guarantee the lines of the At
lantic and Pacific company ill good working
order.

A Street Incident.
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.

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
