lTribune's Washington Correspondence
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-The Japanese are
expected at Hampton Roads about the 18th
instant. Orders were dispatched by the mail
steamer Isabel to the commander of the flag
shin Roanoke, with view to intercept her at
Key West, instructing him to put into Hamp-
ton Roads with his distinguished guests, in
stead of proceeding at once to Sandy Hook:
If this plan is successful, the Embassy should
reach Washington by the l4th instant.
Mr.. Swift, Of New Bedford, was examined
to-day before the Covode Committee, con-
cerning the live-oak contracts he obtained
from the Navy Department. It was proved
that while other contractors were required to
furnish half the timber they contracted for
within sixteen, days, no such restriction was
imposed on him, and the effect of that limita-
ton was to give him additional contracts
through the failure Of others to meet its rigid
enforcement. Oh ICi ~ HG9 u.oI III
A careful examination Of the condition OF
the Treasury, shows that there will be de-
ficit of at least $8,000000 at the close of the
fiscal year on the 30th of June, on the basis
of Secretary Cohb's receipts, which must be
supplied either from loan or Treasury notes.
Owing to some Democrats declining to
vote, the committee repeatedly found itself
without quorum, although it appeared by
the consequent roll calls that one was present.
The struggle was prolonged till eight o'clock,
and the House adjourned Hoh'i 'H.pp-d PIT
The Postmaster General in a communica-
ton to the Senate, to-day, responsive to q
resolution of inquiry on the subject of lessen
ing the number Of dead letters, says that after
tlfe most careful consideration he is con-
strained to believe that the chief improve
ment in the Dead Letter Office must be ef.
fected by providing for the return of letters
through the Office in a greater number and a
shorter time. ai99s n b91t cft9 Jl .1sf

SECRET INFoRNERs AT WAsHINGToN.-Th
Washington correspondents say that the Gov
ernment has evidence of an important char.
icter az to the case of the SLAYER Wdnderer
not only tending TO convict the officers and
owners of the schooner, but also duplicating
some prominent citizens of the South. The
story is that man named Bacon, employed
some time since in the Land Office, informed
the President and Attorney General that he
mad information Of this character, and desired
to be engaged in secret service as to the
Wanderer affair. His representations were
not credited, however, the matter passed by
and he was afterward dismissed. The Gov
ernment then found that his stories were cor
roborated, and that his intimation of impor-
taut evidence in reserve was confirmed, and
accordingly sought him out and secured his
presence as a witness at the trial of suits now
pending in this matter. If the story is true
Mr.. Black was ns unfortunate as his compan-
ion, Secretary Floyd was, in neglecting the
letter exposing John Browns project in ad-
vance. 1t is reported that Bacon, the in
tormant in the present case, was the author
of the anonymous letter to Mr.. Sickles, whit h
aroused his suspicious against MIR. Key. 1

AN EXTENSIVE GANG OF CoUNTERFEITERs
DIsoovERED.-The clue to an extensive gang
of counterfeiters was discovered by the recent
arrest in Elmira, N. Y, of two OF the gang.
Two others, named G. B. Graham and D. n.
Finch, have been arrested in New York.
They have dealt principally in counterfeit
tens ON the Farmers and Manufacturers
Bank of Poughkeepsie, which were so well
executed as to deceive even the bankers.
They have also Showed" counterfeit ones ON
the Chemung River Bank, and bogus half
dollars, and spurious quarter-eagles. About
three thousand dollars of counterfeit money
was passed before the men were arrested.
Both are now in Jail in Elmira awaiting their
trials. Startling developments are promisedi
but the facts are for the present withheld, as
it is alleged that prominent railroad and
banking men are implicated. rf. i4qau .
