WASHINGTON.

Washington, Sept. 20. The transfer of
the printing of internal revenue stamps from
the treasury to the N. Y. Bank Note Co.
leaves with the treasury the printing of U. S.
bonds and fractional currency. Owing to
this arrangement between 800 and 400 en-
ployees, principally women, will be aischarg
ca from the treasury printing bureau.
The receipts from internal revenue since
first inst are SS,277 300, and it estimated that
tomorrow they will amount to at least $3.50,
900, making total for the month of SIS ,52G,-
600 or about S277 $50 less than the CORE
spending month last year. Total receipts for
the quarter ending tomorrow will show a
surplus of about $500. 900 over the CORE
spending quarter of last year.
The secretary of war has appealed from
the decision Of the acting second comptroller,
relative to advances of money to army Off
GERS, to the secretary of the treasury, and
that officer now has the matter under con-
sideration. The decision of the acting
comptroller was that the treasury department
should advance money only to bonded officers
and to such other officers as are expressly
authorized to dsburse it, and effects mainly
line officers temporarily detailed as disbursing
officers

SOUTH CAROLINA
A Terrific Gale.

Charleston, Sept. 20. The most fearful
gale i'll this city since 1854, occurred yester-
day, beginning about daylight with strong
southeast wind, and increasing in violence
until nine o'clock, when it had become a hur-
ricane. For full hour the gale was the most
severe ever known here The ii lie was forced
up to an unprecedented height, inundating the
entire river front of the city, damaging the
wharves, and in some instances sweeping
away pierheads. The long stone sea wall
known as the Battery, and famous prone
made resort, was laid in ruins and public
bathing house demolished. The shipping
generally escaped serious. damage. Some
small craft were wrecked, but large vessels
only chafed, Throughout the city the effect
of the gale is everywhere visible. Fences and
outbuildings were destroyed, branches torn
from trees, and during the height of the gale
the air was filled with slate and tin stripped
from the roofs, making the streets impossible.
The massive brick walls of the new theatre,
just completed with the exception of putting
on the roof, were levelled with the streets.
About noon the wind shifted to the west.
moderating the violence of the sea. Two
houses are reported swept away on Sullivan's
Island and one life lost. The inmates of the
bathing houses were rescued with the utmos,
difficulty. 1t is probable that $500, 900 will
not repair the damage caused by the gale.

The Louisiana Troubles.
Settling tho Difficulty.

New York, Sept. %. special from New
Orleans of last night says that at IL 80 last
night, committees of conference, representing
the central republican and democratic parties,
after having been in session upwards of seven
hours, arrived at a conclusion. The agree
ment is that the democrats shall do every
thing in their power to aid in tine maintanace
of law and order, and support of the legally
constructed authorities. They also promise
that during the approaching election they will
strive to prevent intimidation and violence on
the part of the party they represent. 1t was
further agreed that the advising board shall
consist OF five members-two from the demo-
Gratis, two from the republicans and one non
partisan, who is named in the person of DR..
Rouseano, the superintendent of the mint.
The board Of State canvassers, about which
there has been so muck discussion, it is agreed
shall consist of five persons, two of whom
shall be democrats and three republicans.
The democrats tried to induce the republicans
to promise that they would not prosecute
those engaged in the recent riots. This how
ever, they positively refused to do. The
compromise is signed by the chairmen of both
committees. During the meeting some 500
members of the White League paraded the
streets. There were no disturbances.
A New Orleans special correspondent was
informed last night by the acknowledged lead
err of the colored people, that proposition
would be made to the conservatives offering
to divide parishes and municipal offices in the
coming election. A coored convention will
be held to carry out this proposition.
