Special to The Herald
FoRr WORTH, August Is, 1876.
DEAR HERALD Everything is astir
in "Pantheryille." The streets are
crowded with visitors eager to see the
"identica! spot where the panther laid
down" Buildings are springing up
all over the city, and the lumber trade
is exceedingly good. There are quite
number OF business houses, brick
and frame going up; all are rented, and
there is still IL demand The first iron
fronts were received to-day, which
were cast at the Trinity Foundry in
Dallas-a credit to that city. The con-
tract for the new courthouse has not
yet been let; Tut the probabilities are
that work will soon begin on it. Some
of our capitalists are figuring on an
iron bridge to be built at the junction
of Clear and West Forks. District
court opened yesterday, Judge Carroll
presiding. Quitea number OF the le-
gal fraternity are in attendance. The
grand barbecue which was reported to
come OFT on the 10Th instant mt this
place was mistake. 1t is not yet GER
tain when the day will be-perhaps
when the weather gets cooler. A Til
den and Hendricks club has recently
been organized in the city.

The report declares that systetn
Of unparalleled extravaganza pervades
every department Of the government
printing Office. In regard, to printing
congressional reso DIS, the rou1nrit,ee
is of the opinion that it would be III
the interest of economy to remove its
publication from the government
printing Office. The report describes
the book keeping to have been of SO
loose character as to be entirely un
reliable and that the congressional
printer demonstrated fully to the
mind Of the committee his utter dis
qualification for proper discharge OF
his duties. Tha, his subordinates are
very little better in that respect than
itiieir chief. The Internal management
oi the office rs represented -as verse

as being of such character as would
ruin the most substantial private esta-

states in hisstcst'noly that his repor,
10 me Was forwarded through the
proper channels to the war depart
ment, and that tho order t6 receive.
the corn originated from that depart
ment. General Custer has in this
respect misapprehended the facts in
the case. The matter was never
brought to the attention of any
authority superior to myself, for il
was believed that to dispose OF it wss
entirely within th- province of de-
partment commander, aud II Nm error
has been committed, the respons ibility
for il rests entirely on me.
The transaction wss=fufy inquired
into here, and by evidence given un-
der oath il was shown, conclusively, |
think, that no fraud has been commit
ted or attempted To make assur
ance doubly sure, however, before pay
meat was made to the contractors,
they were required TO give ample
bonds to indemnify the government
in case fraud should be subsequently
Discovered. Alter seeing Gen. Gus

Foley.
The gardens of the Luxembourg have Just re.
ceived a monumental fountain by the sculptor
Perraud.
Etching is becoming more popular in England,
and M. Legros, who is a French master In the

exciting considerable interest in New York also.
The Assyrian, Babylonian and Aramaean an
tiguities last collected by Mr.. George Smith, who
reflected honor upon England, are now in course
Of examination and arrangement In the British
Museum. Ranging chronologtcally from the
time Of Nabopolasar to that OF Nidintabal, their
story will fill an important gap in ancient
history.
The current number of the Gazette des Beaur
Arts contains, among other things, an elaborate
article on the works and peculiar style Of Masac-
cio and long discussion Of the merits of the
English etcher, Evershed, who, in the opinion Of
the Gazette, is not a brilliant colorist like Sey-
mour Haden, and has not the strength Of Edwin

Among the interesting objects in the crypt re-

plot Of ground bought oy them nm near the
cup with reliefs representing an Eastern king
hunting monkeys; funeral bed, with framework
Of oak and decorations OF bronze, and box inlaid
with asreliefs Of ivory coated in gold, and show

The captain is supposed to be on the deck Of his
ship, peering through telescope at the coast Of

where had been supposed to be only desolate
