General Butler authorizes the state.
ment that he has not determined to an.
tagonize the Administration in Con-
gress He says he intends to give
President Hayes policy a fair trial,

WASHINGTON, June g..
A dispatch to the Navy Department,
from Rear Admiral Reynolds, COM
manding the Asiatic station, states that
he has sent the steamer Alert in
search of ship wrecked persons sup
posed to be on some island near Dam
pier Straits. He received his informa-
ton from the Captain of the bark
Agate, who states that a native from
King William Island told him that on
one of the islands to the northward
there were sixteen White men INT one
woman.
The belief that Ohio has received an
undue number of official favors is dis,
covered TO be erroneous from an ex-
animation of the lists of appoinIees.
In fact, the proportion is largely
against Ohio.
A delegation of intelligent repre-
sentatives uf Louisiana colored Repub-
Leans presented the President to-day
the names Of three of their race whom
they desired to have good Government
positions at New Orleans. Their
wishes will probably be respected. 1t
is expected that a prominent Union
soldier will he given a prominent place
in New Orleans, and that Wharton
1 will rnn1.oa VDitIfn no Marshal Mho
will be suspended.
There is an animated contest for the
Rotterdam C~onsulship. Among the
applicants are Haas and Cullen, OF
Chicago, and Willimn, of New York.
Wharton, of New Orleans, denies
Buffers assertions regarding him.
He declares that he stood by Packard
to the last, and if Butler keeps on he
will be proven a falsitier.
Treasurer Sherman has estimated
that Sll ,0d0 900 of fractional currency
will never be presented for redemp-
ton. The nominal amount now out
standing is 81 ,000, 900. 1t is claimed
that a iair Interpretation of the law
limiting the volume of silver coin and
fractional currency to $500 0 600,
would warrant the replacing OF these
Sll 900 900 by silver as we'll as to re-
deem that presented in silver. Much
frac ioual currency is reported as cir
culating i'll country places, especially
in the South.
The delinquent contractor for tie
transportation OF supplies for the Sho-
shone Indians, whose suffering condi-
ton was reported by General Sheridan
to General Sherman, has been found
and al order secured by the Indian
Bureau for the delivery of the goods
detained at Bryan station, and the
goods will be at nee delivered to the
trains waiting and sent Immediately
