The Treasury department has received
q draft on Barring & Brothers, Of Eng
land, TOR an amount of f1, ,1S4 16s. I0d.
as the product of the sale of the surren-
dered Confederate vessel Shenandoah.
The draft was sent to New York, with
directions to deposit the amount to the
credit of the United States as the pro.
ceeds from the sale of surrendered and
abandoned property.
The attention of the Treasury anthor-
tiles was attracted, about the year 1868,
to the propriety of appointing custom
agents at the different ports OF the Uni
ted States to examine the effects of pas.
sengers arriving from foreign ports, as
sufficient evidence has been received to
show that large quantities of dutiable
goods were introduced in this manner,
contraband of law. A statement OF
amounts of duties thus collected has
been made for the port oi New YORK,
which exhibits the following as the sums
collected since 1862: In tha year 1852
SSOI, $40 were collected on the docks; in
1868, 1878 $50; in 1864, SS76,2l2; in 1865,
S2,S25 GIG, and up to the end of July of
the present year, $l,165,472. making a
total of duties on the docks from the
passengers of steamers of S6,649,776.
The commissioner of Indian affairs has
recently received many highly satisfac-
tory reports from Indian agents on the
frontier. They generally represent that
the tribes that have effected treaties
with the Government are desirous OF
perpetuatipg them, and manifest an IN
tense hatred toward those who have
violated their pledges by attacking emil
grants and settlers.
The Paymaster Generals department
is daily receiving from 500 to 1000 ap-
plications for extra bounty under the
equalization act AS the military board
having in charge the preparation of the
rules and regulations affecting the dis
bursement of the SEC, 900, 900 has not yet
reperted, their claims will probably re-
main on file.
It is staged that Paymaster General
Brice will officially inform all interested
in the appropriation as soon as their
accounts shall be ready for adjustment.
The President has directed pardon to
