SECOND EDITION
FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.
ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TELEeRGPH.] ]
WASHINGTON. March 10.
The Printing 1nVestLgRtiOns


In accordance with the resolution of the
Joint Committee on Printing, J. D. Defrees,
Superintendent of the Public Printing, yet er-
day made a report to the House, which pre-
sent certain mysteries which require explana-
ton from Mr.. Wendell, the former incumbent.
From this report, it appears that about forty
thousand reams of paper are used for the
Government printing each year. Contracts
for the amount required are made at the be-
ginning of the year with the lowest responsible
bidder by the Joint Committee on Printing,
and bids for the quantity for the current year
were closed last month, and the awards
made. Upon taking an account of stock, how
ever, Mr.. Defrees who was elected two or
three weeks since, discovered in the ware
house $4,000 reams of paper, a sufficient sup
ply for the balance of the present year. In
vestigation reveals the fact that this paper
had been purchased at the price paid at the
beginning of the year during the last two
months of Mr.. Wendell's official career,
although the price of paper had decreased
from January, 1866, to November, 1866, six
dollars per ream, making a difference against
the Government of upwards of $l00, 600 on the
excess of the amount required at the date of
the last purchase. The contracts made for
the present year, under the above circum-
stances, will probably be cancelled by the
Government.

Senators Ould, McRae, front, Mercer, Rob-

object of their mission.
Political movements are in progress all over
the State of Virginia. Lunenburg, Mecklen-
burg, Fredericksburg, Williamsburg, and
other counties have, by popular vote, called
a State Convention under the Sherman bill.
A gentleman from Georgia informs me that
the people there were ready to accept the
terms of the Sherman bill under the PROPOSE

of information from North Carolina, South

THE FINE ARTS.

The Academy of Fine Arts of Paris has
proposed the following questions for the Con
cours Bondin'' for 1885,
ITO explain clearly the difference and the
analogies which exist between Greek and
Roman archi ecture. To determine, whether it
be by fact or deduction, what artists and work
men contributed to the construction and deco.
ration OF public edifceS or of private dwellings,
either in Greece or in Italy, and in other parts
of the empire and what was the social and
civil condition of these artists and workmen."
The Academy has again given notice of the
subjects for the "COncOurs Bondin" for the
year lS7S:-
"To investigate and demonstrate the degree
of and influence which is exercised upon the
fine arts by the means OF nationality, politics,
morals, religion, philosophy and science. To
show, in some measure, who of the most emil
nent artists have been free from this influence
or dependent upon it,"

YELLOW FEVER At PANAMA.
Heavy Mortality on the United States
Steamer Jamestown.

PANAMA, March 4.-The Star and Herald of
to-day has long editorial on the subject of
sickness on the Isthmus route, and seeks to
make it appear that the reports about yellow
fever are at least exaggerated.
For the sake OF truth, and to give the travel.
ling public the means of judging fOHthemselves,
deem 1t right to ask the publication of a few
facts in your widely circulated paper.
The deaths from yellow.feYer on board the
United States steamer jamestown have 80 far
reached the number of sixteen, out of crew
OF one hundred persons. The Executive Off
Ger, John Adams, was among the last victims,
having expired on Washing toms birthday. The
Paymaster (Batesl is now reported by the sur
geon as past recovery, and another of the Off
GERS. as well as several of the crew, reported
in critical state-which means sure to die.
II is reported through town that the COM
mander of the vessel Lieutenant Commander
McDougall, has been urged to put to sea by
leading men here, but that he is iDheXible
in his purpose to remain in port. The fact
that he has a young wife ashore is given as the
reason of his fiXedness OF purpose in this crit'
cal case. However, this Is mere rumor, am in
clined to believe. The ship, at all events, can
not be disinfected while in port, as the ho
season is advancing upon us With but three
exceptions, the deaths on shore have occurred
among the floating population, aud the majority
of these cases are stated to have come from 81
