FROM WASHINGTON.

w WASHINGTON,i August a. - Last
year $54, 900 were set apart to pay the
expenses of the Commission sent to
hold conference and negotiate with
the Indian tribes west of the Arkan
sas. The Commission was absent two
months and had interviews with the
representatives of seventy FIVE thous-
and Indians. 1t was composed of
Commissioners of the Indian Bureau;
Cooley, Superintendent; Sells, General
Harvey Colonel Parker, Thomas
Wistera and Charles E. Mix. Ac-
counts have just been settled, from
which it appears that all the expenses,
including presents to the Indians,
amounted to. only about ten thousand
dollars, an extraordinary low figure,
considering the circumstances con-
nected with the important mission,
The following is issued from the
War Department of the Fenian Broth
erhood:

WAsHiNGToN, August 24.-Much
misunderstanding seems toexist about
admissions to the Paris Exposition.
Some of the authorities of States
have positively neglected this matter.
Nothing will be entered or received
at the Exhibition except. that for
which application shall have been du-
dya filed with, and accepted by the
General Agent at New York, j. G.
Derby, Times Building, No 40, Park
Row. All applications, therefore,
should be promptly forwarded to him,
as he is required to have the descrip-
tive catalogue ready by the 18th of
next month. Although the present
list of applications promises an ex-
cellent exhibition, in several groups,
it il different in few important par
ticulars, such as rich furnishing up
holstery and decorated work, and rich
patterns, carpets, wall papers, cutlery,
bronzes, &c., cotton and its products,
wool and its products, feeces of wool,
shawls of wool, and apparatus and in
struments for hunting.
Congress has provided force and
transportation to Paris, for goods and
showcases in which to exhibit goods
at the Exposition, as we'll as compe-
tent officers and guards to take care
of them T01tff8I - A0ETa L9naA -31
Judging by the elgreat number of
claimsgthat are daily received at the
of6ce of the Paymaster General, from
| those who believe themselves to be
| entitled to the bounty and allowance,
under the act Of July 2Sth, 1866, enter
tain the impression that much will be
gained byqseeuring the entrance OF
| their claims to file in the Office, at the
earliest possible day . This is an error.
| The wise and prudent among them
Twill defer presenting their claims and
papers to the authorities here, until
| they learn the nature and require
ments of the regulations which are to
govern the payment of these claims.
These regulations may materially af-
feet the character and forms of appli-
cation, in which case the last claims
received will most probably be the
/ first, settled, while those already on
file may need to be returned for nee
essary change Nothing is gained to
the claimant, but on the contrary
much time may be lost, and the lex-
animation upon claims may be greatly
hindered by over haste in submitting
| them for file. 29iflq 9at ~ seei Io q
