The Journal OGctel OF Paris publishes report to
the Emperor, from Marshal Valiant Minister Of t9s
Emperor's Household alia Fiue Arts on the National
Museums OF France:-
His Excellency shows by q volumnous retufn
from the superintendent OF the Department, Count
de Nieuwerkerke, and which Is appended that the
paintings, statues, antiquities &C., have during the
last fifteen years increased IN number about As 00O
During the reconstruction Of part OF the Tuileres
and OF the Louvre great number OF those objects
were placed Professionally In the magazines, but as
the alterations In the two palaces are now ter
minated the space to lie devoted to the fine art
galleries, comprising in all 142 rooms, can be
calculated with exactltude The result is that there
will remain considerable surplus or artistic works
for which there VIII be no place. The Minister, In
consequence, proposes that these latter should be
distributed among the departments to those large
towns which have made praiseworthy efforts to
create local museums enrich those they formerly
possessed, and restore their ancient churches and
monuments. His Excellency, In conclusion, sug
Rests the appointment Of o commission composed Of
me Superintendent. with twelve members, OF whom
six are TO be chosen from the great State bodies ana
the same number from the Academy OF Fine Arts,
for deciding on the preparatory measures Of selec-
tion and directing and controlling the carrying out
OF this proposal
The report Is followed by an imperial decree ap.

and stamped and II they are sufficiently des-
ignated to distinguish each class from the
other, and from all other bonds, and to prevent
their reissue as well as any other facts respect
ing said bonds and the safe keeping thereof
which we may deem of Importance. We called
upon the Treasurer of the United States, in
whose custody they are, to exhibit 70 us the
bonds referred to in your communication, with
o schedule of the same classified by their re-
spective issues and denominations. Onpersonal
inspection and count we found in the custody OF
the Treasurer bonds OF the United states regis
tered in the name of and payable to the Secretary
of the Treasury in trust for the United States,
amounting in the aggregate to seventeen millions
eight hundred and forty-four thousand and i've
hundred dollars, designated as belonging to the
sinking fund by the words sinking fund" distinct
ly impressed in red upon the face of each bond.
We also found in the custody OF the treasurer
other like bonds amounting in the aggregate 10
forty.five million dollars, registered in the name
of and payable to the Secretary of the treasury
in trust for the United States, which are the
bonds designated as specially purchased. me
total amount of the bonds belonging 10 DOM
classes, examined and counted, is S62,S ,S44,5O0,
and they are of the several issues annexed.
After having verified the account OF the ponds
so held by the Treasurer by personal eXamlna'
ton and count of the same, we compared the sche-
dulles with the records of the issue OF the bonds
in the loan branch OF the Secretarys office, and
with those in the Office of the Register OF the
Treasury and found each to agree with
the others and with our actual count. The
words sinking fund" impressed upon the
bonds belonging to that fund are sufficient to
distinguish them from the bonds specially pur
chased; and in our judgment the form in which
all the bonds are registered in the name of the
Secretary in trust for the United States is sufli
cient to protect the Government from any lia
bility of loss by their destruction reissue. The
bonds examined and counted include the pur-
chases made prior to the 1st inst Very respect

STANCE pulled out an envelope which seemed to
be full of money, and handed him fifty-cent

sented the case to Phillips, with whom he made
arrangements to rob the residence of the minis
ter. Accordingly two men were employed who
did the job and secured the fifty dollars. Miller
received three dollars and half, and Phillips
was cheated out of his 'divvy." The alderman
considered the case made out, and held Phillips
in $4,000 for a further hearing.

rance.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 9.-Josiah Little Pike,
who murdered Thomas Brown and wife, two
aged persons, at Hampton Falls, in May, 1868,
was hanged in the jall-yard of this city to-day.
On the scatfold he made the following speech:-
Il do not shrink from my fate. do not dread
to die. know how worthless my life is, and
have faith in Christ for better hereafter, but
wish to leave warning in my last words, to
those who are inclined towards intemperance. 1t
has decided my fate and ruined my soul. en-
treat those who deal in intoxicating drink to
stop that dreadful work, and, oh | implore
their victims to stop before it is too late AS /
hope to be forgiven the sins of a misspent life,
forgive all severity and injustice towards myself,
and willingly commit my soul, wicked and un-
worthy as l have been, to merciful Saviour;
and to my friends who have been so kind, and
who have given me sympathy and encourage
ment during my stay in this prison, l can only
return the heartfelt thanks of q dying man.
81 can feel what they have done for me, but
cannot utter my feelings; but, commencing
them to God for His blessings, and imploring
mercy for myself, give you all my last fare
well.h
All this time Pike was calm and serene and
nothing more than very slight trembling was
observed in him. His farewell address was
written out and read from the ssaffold by the
Rev. Mr.. Holman. Before the execution, o
choir of ladies complied with his request, and
sang one of his favorite hymns, commencing
my latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly
rum"
He was slightly nervous and tremulous in
marching to the scaffold, but upon arriving there
he seemed composed, and united in the closing
devotional exercises with an air of Indifference
He knelt with the clergyman when prayer was
offered, and upon rising, remained mute and
stolid until the spring was touched. He fell a
distance of eight feet and died without a strug-
gle. The order excluding the members of the
press was revoked at the last moment, and all
who made application were admitted to witness
the scene.
