EXPLOSION OF Gas AT THE CAPITOL
Those of our readers who were of the i'm
preston that with the departure of Con-
gress no apprehension Of an explosion of
gas need be felt will see their mistake
when we make the announcement that yes
terday fearful explosion Of coal gas oc-
Cured in the basement of the capitol build
ing of such force az to shake the structure
to its foundation. An examination showed
that gas main under the centre of the
dome, in what is known as the Washington
crypt, had burst with terrible force, blow
ing out all the heavy frame work surround
ing it, tearing all the doors and frames and
windows to splinters, and scattering the
fragments through the basement passages
in all directions. The effect of the explo-
sion was such as to create serious alarm for
time for the safety Of the building, which,
however, was allayed by the prompt mea-
sures which the officers and laborers about
the place took to prevent the spread Of
fire.
The funeral paraphernalia Of the late
Abraham Lincoln was placed for safe de-
post in the crypt, and was ignited by the
flames and partially destroyed. The broken
glass from the basement windows was blown
through the passages as far as the west en-
trance to the building, and portions of the
woodwork scattered through q large por-
ton of the eastern and southern wings of
the old building.-National InteAigencer,

EXTENSIVE SMUGGLING OPERATIONS
BRANDY FOUND IN FLOUR BARRELs.-Neu
York, August Fifteen barrels of fish
oil, from Canada, were seized on Tuesday
last by the United States Government reve-
nue. officials at No. 126 Maiden lane, which
contained two fve-gallon tin cans of Hen
messy brandy in each barrel. 1t is now
ascertained that this is but q small portion
of struggled liquor that has been recently
received in like manner in this city. 1t
is now known that at least 5000 barrels Of
oil that have been received here within
the last few months have contained this
fine brand Of brandy. 1t is also reported
that 10000 barrels of Canadian flour,
containing like amounts of this brandy,
have been at different times forwarded
to parties in this city. The custom
house detectives are now endeavoring
to investigate the matter and ascertain to
whom the property was consigned. They
are very reticent about the facts Of the case
reaching the public. The goods seized SC
far have no mark by which the consignees
or consignors can be determined. The
packages were found in the storehouse above
mentioned. The only portion Of the pro-
perty so far secured by Government officials
was the ffteen barrels all the rest was
disposed of before the officers got wind OF
the smuggling. 1t is estimated that the
Government has in this manner been de,
frauded out Of many thousands of dollars
in duties.-!SpeCial dispatch to the Eue'ein1

MEXICAN TREATY.-On the 10th of July
last the President sent to the Senate, for
ratification, treaty between the United
States and Mexico, signed in this city on
the 4th of July by Mr.. Seward and Senior
Romero, providing for an adjustment of
claims of citizens Of the United States
against the Mexican Government, and OF
citizens of the latter Government against
the United States. The only claims to be
considered are those that have arisen since
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of I'd
February, lS48, for injuries to persons and
property. The treaty provides for the ap-
pointment of commissioner by the Presi-
dent and one by the Mexican Government,
these two to select an umpire, and meet in
Washington within six months from date Of
notification of convention. The Senate rati-
fed the treaty on the 18th of July.

CAUGHT IN THEIR 0wN TRAP.-lt is pro

mrnt says Of each State that
When the right to vote at any election

When the right Of voting for Presidential

, WASHINGTON, August s.-Colonel Desne,
of Governor Warmouth's staff, had an in
terview this morning with Secretary Scho-
field, and will get definite answer regard
ing his mission Monday. 1t is understood
that while the Government considers the
situation delicate one, and requiring great
discretion, it will use its power under the
Constitution and the laws to repress disor-
der with promptness and 7igor.
General Grants recommendation for a
general jail delivery in the southern States
Of persons sentenced by military commits
sions was formally presented to the Cabi-
net yesterday, but produced no action.
Habeas corpus being restored, and the
courts being open for relief from illegal
and unjust punishment, it is within easy
and speedy reach of every citizen whereas
the sweeping action proposed by General
Grant would doubtless throw many bad men
on those communities.
.t-r~s Second Dispatch. .el
WASHINGTON, August S.-P. M.-Gene-
raj Rosecrans had prolonged interview
with the President on Mexican affairs to-
day.
The revenue receipts to-day were $780,

General Augur is here On leave.
A. W. Clark relieves General Fitzpatrick,
the CHILEAN Minister.
The Secretary of the Treasury issues in
structions that persons entitled to interest
on bonds and failing to collect it within
ninety days from the proper assistant trea-
surer will be referred to Washington for
settlement.
The belief is current that the Cabinet
has decided to interfere in the southern
States only in cases. Of palpable insurrec-
ton. The details will transpire on Monday.
Acarefu1 reading Of section 2, article Ia,
of the Constitution shows that the people
must vote for Presidential electors or lose
their representation in Congress.
Colonel Deane, of General Yarmouth g
staff, has confined himself in his represen-
tations respecting affairs in Louisiana
mainly to the authorities to whom he was
sent. In general conversation, while re-
presenting the situation there as serious,
and requiring the promptest attention from
the Government, he draws milder and
more encouraging picture Of affairs than
some others lately from New Orleans have
done. He speaks very kindly of General
Hays and other prominent ex- Confederates,
and hopefully of their probable attitude in
relation to public order.
General Rosecrans leaves for Mexico
about the middle Of September.

THE WHEAT CROP OF MINNESOTA The
immense growth of the wheat crop of Min
nesota is well shown by the recent estimate
of the present crop made by the Assistant
Secretary of State, based upon the returns
of the assessors and on other sources of in
formation. 1t seems that since the great
crop of 1865 the annual increase in the
breadth of wheat sown has been little
over thirty-three and one-third per cent.
According to this estimate there are this
year 5000 acres in wheat, whose average
yield will probably be not far from seven
teen and half bushels to the acre, which
would make an aggregate crop Of 5,925,oOo
bushels. Nine years ago the whole amount
of wheat produced in Minnesota was 2 '57S,-
Alb bushels, and the year before flour was
actually imported from Wisconsin.-Ne-

A REMARKABLE RECOvERY.-Just before
the Richmond battles Colonel Strange sent
his private baggage with that of the Nine
teenth regiment to Richmond to be sent
back to Charlottesville for safe-keeping. 1t
was kept in Richmond, and while there the
Colone's baggage was broken open and
robbed of his watch and other valuables.
A few days ago gold watch was brought
by negro to Mr.. Kamerer, which he iden-
tilted as one which he had once before
repaired for Colonel Strange. Notice was
given to those interested, and the mat
ter investigated before Lieutenant Towne,
Of the Freedmen's Bureau and it being
proved to his satisfaction that the watch
was that of Colonel Strange, it was handed
over to Mr.. Tutwiler, his executor. The
watch was brought to Mr.. Kamerer by Ned
Givins, mulatto carpenter in the neigh

to him by negro girl named Georgeanna
