The National Printing Office.

The report of the Superintendent OF the
Public Printing shows that the total cost of the
printing, binding, lithographing, ETC., for the
Government for the year ended September Soth
last, was 1850, 425. Beside this the Con-
gressiondl Record cost $SS 900! In no period
during the last six years has the work been 30
far advanced as now, nearly all the printing
ordered by the last Congress having been COM
pleted. There are now /, 200 employees in all
the departments of the Office, with a pay roll
of $95, 900 month. The compostors are al
lowed GO cents per 1000 ems, or "a day for
eight hours.

The Signal Service.

The Chief Signal Officer, in his report. states
that the display of cautionary signals has been
made systematically at forty-three different
stations, sea and lake ports and cities OF the
total number of stationary signals thus dis
played, 76 per cent. have been afterward re-
ported as justified. No great storm has swept
over any considerable number of the ports OF
the United States without preannouncement.
The watch kept by the service and the prompt
transmission in times Of danger of few mes
sages have saved property amounting tn more
than the cost of the lines. The question of
the preannouncement of approaching meteoric
changes may be considered Ak determined by
now five years of successful service. With
each year Of labor, the paths for improvement
open more plainly. What was coniectured be-
came a certainty.

Ouartermas Report.

The Quarter1uaster- General, in his annual
report, states that the clothing issued to the
troops has proved satisfactory except the cam
paign hats, and measures are being taken to
procure more suitable ones for adoption in their
stead. Through the courtesy Of Sir Edward
Thornton. the British Minister at Washington,
100 cork helmets, such are worn by the Brit
ish troops in hot countries, have been procured,
and are being tried in Arizona. Clothing to
the value OF S1S4,041 has been issued to the
National Home for Disabled Volunteers. The
total cost of animals purchased during the year
was $500, 800, and 2,526 animals were sold, for
which $40, 90l was received and deposited ia
the Treasury. The cost of forage was much
increased by the ravages Of the grasshoppers
and drought in certain localities, which conse-
quently increased the expenditures on account
Of this class of supply.

Indian Affairs.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Smith, in his
annual report, says that the reports of the In
dian superintendent and Agents convey un-
mistakable evidence Of year of advance in the
civilization of the Indians. Their testimony is
almost uniform to the fact that the civilization
of Indians is not only entirely practicable, but
fairly under way. The Commissioner expresses
the opinion that general Indian war will never
again occur in the United States In reference
to the Black Hills country the Commissioner
recommends that legislation be now sought
from Congress offering fair and full equiva-
lent for the country lying between the
north and south forks Of the Cheyenne River
in Dakota, the true equivalent to be offered the
Sioux az helpless wards of the Government for
the Black Hills. The Commissioner says the
need of the Indian Territory is gov
eminent of the simplest form possible,
and suggests that government similar to that
provided for the territory of the United States
northwest Of the River Ohio preliminary to the
organization of General Assembly, would be
best adapted for the Territory at present. He
recommends that the matter be again brought
before Congress. The Commissioner opposes
the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War
Department. He hopes that Congress will re-
move the difficulties which have heretofore
been experienced in procuring the enactment
of laws and necessary appropriations for the
training and education Of Indians. None but
the very best men, he says should be ap-
pointed AZ agents. and he expresses the hope
that the Government will still be inclined To
call upon the religious bodies Of the country to
name the men.

The Navy.

Secretary Robeson's report Of the naval SER
vice for the year shows that the number Of YES
sells of every class and description now borne
on the navy register is lat, carrying ], 1876
guns, and 1872, 492 tons measurement. OF
these many are sailing vessels Of little or NO
value as part Of the efficient force for either
the cruising or fighting purposes of the pres.
ent day. The steam vessels rs distinguished
from ironclads and torpedo-ships, number 95,
Of which % are tugs. OF the remainder 30
are ready for use when required. Our iron
clad fleet consists of 26 vessels, Fl of the
monitor type, torpedo-ships, and never
launched. All the vessels 500 are available,
including 16 ironclads and torpedo-boats.
Details are given of the operations Of the fleet
OH each of the six stations.
The Secretary is gratifed to state that the
navy is stronger and in more efficient condi
ton than at any time within the last sever
years. He asks Congress for an appropriation
to finish at once all the repairs of the five
double-tuITeted monitors. With these added
! to it, our ronclad service would, for purposes
of defense, present very substantial barrier u
anything which could cross the seas and at
tempt to enter our ports.

A COMPLIANT AGAINST DEL4-
WARE.

OUR EXCESSIVE ATTACHMENT TO PROPER
TY, LIGHT HOUSES AND EAvYLANDs.
At meeting of the Philadelphia Board of
Trade on Monday evening comments were
made upon the delay in establishing light
houses along the Delaware.
1t seems that General Reynolds, who has
this matter in charge, has met with consid-
cradle difficulty in obtaining the land nee
essary for sites. Compelled to forsake the
Delaware shore on account of the exorbi-
tant prices at witch sand banks are held
there, he crossed over into New jersey, and
after arousing the ire of an honest old Jer
seyman, who Indignantly broke off his bar
gain upon learning that the General had
neglected to inform him that the govern
mont always paid six or seven prices for
everything it bought, he secured fayora-
ble situation for the proposed beacon. The
speaker lamented the lack Of comfy on the
part of our Delaware neighbors, since, had
1t not been for their excessive attachment
to their property, the lighthouses would
have been well-nigh completed by this time.
This charge against Delaware land-hold-
ers is plainly admissible: besides this bad
result tothe river trade the charge will ap-
ply to many other cases.
The encouragement to Immigrants is bad
~ needed but rarely given by the land-hold-
ers themselves when Delawareans learn
wise policy in this respect many good results
will flow therefrom.

The witnesses, Isaac Walrauen and James

body about 1890 o'clock, on Tuesday. morn

Frederick Smith, keeper af the Logan
House, testified that the man found dead
was at his saloon on Monday afternoon, be-
tween one two O'Clock that he took, l.
glass Of beer, sat for an hour and half
watching game Of bagatelle,; took another
glass of beer, and asking the wayto the
Brandywine, left the saloon about 3o'clock.
Chief of Police Brady testified that he
took rom the body the paper, pipe, twb
handkerchiefs marked &C. w." q pocket
book containing about $3.50, and some
papers that do not bear upon his identifica-
ton, except one receipt and two empty bot
ties, which had contained laudanum The
receipt was signed by the baggage master
at Chadd's Ford, on the P, B. & c. road stat
ing that one box of peaches had been re-
ceived in good order from Chas. F. Welding
for John Forsythe. The jury, upon sum
ming up the evidence, returned the verdict
that the unknown man came to his death
from causes unknown. AS there were no
external marks Or wounds to indicate vio-
lence, the pnblic opinion is that the young
man committed suicide with the laudanum
contained in the bottles. A telegram was
sent by the Coroner yesterday to Mr.. John
Forsythe, who is known to be well-to-do
farmer near Chadd's Ford, asking If he |

Brutal ASSAULT,

Last night about l2 o'clock, a drunken
hummer of printer, (who is disgrace to
the craft,) entered the HERALD Office and
committed a brutal assault on Mr.. George
A. Davis, a compositor on this paper. The
beat in question is scommonly know inthis
city as Jack Butler, and his residence (but
we doubt it very much) as Boston. From
his actions one would suppose him to be an
escaped coneict. Such proceedings as this
are outrageous and had a policeman been in
the vicinity at the time he would by lying In
Jail to-day waiting to answer the charge of

the barn and outbuildings on the farm near
Middletown, owned by Robert A. Cochran,

consumed by fire. The loss is estimated to
be above $4,000. The origin of the fire is

The game was tedious and devoid Of in

Every one who witnessed the game went
away disgusted:we deem further comment, as
unnecessary. The umpire chosen by the
Peabody was manifestly unfair and an ex.
celent change was made by substituting
Reesler of the Active club.
