WASHINGTON, August 5.-The COM
mittee on expenditures in the depart.
ment Of jusAce made majority snd
minority reports to-day. The majority
report recommends reduction Of the
judiciary fund to two million five hun
bred thousand dollars, and finds that
Davenport, the supervisor Of elections
in New York, has not accounted for
thirty-four thousand dollars given him
from the kuklux fund, and that the
President and the two attorney generals,
Alderman aud Williams, whJ supplied
Davenport with the thirty-fOur thousand
dollars, diverted 1t from its proper pur-
pose to one entirely foreign to the objects
OF the law. 1t is recommended, there
fore, that the Office Of supervisor Of cleo
tions be abolished aud that the election
laws of congress be repealed, or II not
repealed, that strict accounting shall bR
made Of the kuklux fund, and that no
part OF it is to re used in the machinery
OF elections; thst the attorney general
take the necessary steps TO recover the
thirty-four Thousand dollars unaecount-
ed for, and that no person be allowed to
hold more than one office under the
United States government. The minor
ity report says that the msjority report
is merely campaign document; it de-
tends John 1. Davenport, and claims
that instead OF censure, Alderman,
Williams and Davenport are entitled to
commendatiOD.

THE continued decline 10 the value Of

the New York Tribune ssys hopes are
entertained that a fresh demand will
spring up in the incrsas use of the
metal for domestic purposes, and it lie
held out as probable that the Chinese

90 q long way toward making up the
loss OF the silver coinage ia the Euro
pean countries which have discarded it.
Various remedies ere suggested. Oae Of
the chambers Of commerce-the Glss
gow-hss put forth the theory of the de-
monetiEation of silver in India; and
others the adaptation of the present
coinage to the new value. Both these
suggestions have objections to them,
which will at once suggest themselves
10 all. Ths Times, returning to discus
sion Of the puzzling problem, makes
what appears to be q sound suggestion
so far as India Is concerned. It proposes
that tue silver rent charges in India
should be made gold rent charges, and

storm sped aero IS the country TO the
southeast. The great body OF the huTri-
cane passed above our town and through
the interior. About the mouth of the
D glaWsre, twelve miles above us, it
blew down the house Of Mr.. Roper, and
laid cotton and corn fat with the earth
P sssing on with all its fury, 1t laid

course it struck the upper DanviDe road,
about one mile from town, and in the
neishbofhood OF D. w. M'Guire's was
very severe, laying the largest forest
trees fiat, turning, twisting and tearing
them up by the roots, laying fences pros
trate, and growing crops and fruit trees
level with the earth. Out about James
8. GuiLn's we learn the havoc was most
frightiul. This Tosd was also blocked
for about eight miles. The storm then
passed down toward Nov Hope church,
with great destruction. We learn that
Mr.. Adams suffered greatly; his crop
and fencing were ali laid low. He hsd

will be. In the bottom below con-
