WASHINGTON. July 20.-Secretary Sherman is ex-
pected in Washington this evening, but it is believed
at the Treasury Department that several days VIII
pass before any announcement will be made IN re-
gard to the disposition to be made of the proceeds
of the $GG 1000 900 of fourper-cent bonds recently
sold.
1t may be remembered that when the last contract
with the Syndicate was closed, the Secretary pro-
vided for putting aside $5.000,000 month for Ie-
sumption purposes during June. July aud August.
Ten millions of this was to be taken from the pro-
ceeds of the last So, ,O0O, 900 of fourand-a-half
bonds sold by the Syndicate. and 900 from the
receipts of the Fourpercents the latter to be paid
during July and August. Fifteen millions will
therefore be added to the resumption fund by the
the part of the Secretary.
The last three calls of siX-percent bonds, 1T Is said
at the Treasury Department have been made on ac-
count of the four-peT-cent. bonds, that nave
been sod so that $50. 1000, 900 Of the $16oO0O,OO0
Will certainly he used for refundlng. Adding the
So, 900 900 ready ordered to ne set aside for re-
sumption purposes, leaves $31 900, the proceeds
of which are still to be disposed of.

that the Syndicate had subscribed $10,20O,OO0 to

NO INVITATION TO TUE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO
MAKE A NOMINATION.


lRr TELEGRAPH TIE TRBUSEI
WAsHINGroN July 20.-A report was published
here this morning TO the effect that the President
contemplated inviting the New-lork Chamber OF
Commerce to suggest the name of some proper can
didate for the position of Surveyor of the Port OF
New-York, in the place of Gen. Sharpe, whose term
of Office expired several months 1t may be SAID
that the President has given very little
thought to this subject, and has not con-
cluded to extend such an invitation To the
Chamber of Commerce. The matter was incidentally
suggested to him by a gentleman who called at
the White House. and the fact that the President
made no objection to the plan probably led to the
belief that he might act upon It, Nor has tue
President concluded to make a register OF the
names of all applicants for Office, and OF those re-
commending them, and to throw II open to the pubic
before the appointments are made This plan has
been incidentally talked OF and some OF the argu-
ments both for and against IT, have been considered,

Stanley, the Great Explorer.

The greatest triumph Of mod
ern exploration has been accom-
plished by Henry Moreland STAN
ley, who has fully and conclu-
sively solved the problem which
the explorations of all others
failed to establlsh-the identity
Of the Lualaba and Congo rivers.
He left Zanzibar, on the east
coast of Africa, in November,
1874, and reached Congo, Oh the
west coast, in August, 1877, trav
cling in an unknown African will
derness two years and nine
months; and that, too, in the
face of hostile negroes and can
nibals, who opposed every mile
Of his route. This exploration
is important from the fact that it
furnishes a vast amount of geo
graphical and scientific informa-
tion of a country which for cen
turies has been a sealed book.
Mr.. Stanley, in 1867, was dis
patched to Africa by James Cor
don Bennett, jr., at an expense
of $4,000, in quest Of DR.. Inv
ingstone, who was given up by
the world as lost. He succeeded
in his mission, finding the lost
explorer at UjJi, in September
Of that year. Subsequent to Liv-
ingstone's death, Stanley con-
ceived the idea of completing the
work which that explorer had
so well begun, and this was sec
onded by Mr.. Bennett, of the
New York Herald, assisted by
the London Telegraph, and to
these enterprislng journals is the
greatest Of modern achievements
due.

magnitude, and that Judge ia
cobs, in allowing this manifest
swindle to go by default, would
be grossly derelict in duty to his
constituents and to the General
Government.
Judge Jacobs has not, and will
not, offer any factious opposition
to any measure calculated to
promote tho best interests of the
Territory, but he would be false
to the interests of his constitu-
cnts if he blindly yielded acqui-
escence in the demands of a COM
bination of unsclupulous men
who have heretofore proved false
to all their plighted faith and
public obligations.
This correspondent recon-
mends that "our people should
forthwith take action against
him. They should hold public
meetings and denounce him as
misrepresenting the Territory's
interests and wishes" The Leg
stature, which represents every
interest in the Territory, will
attend to that matter, and we
can safely guarantee that the
action of our Delegate will be
sustained by an almost unani-
nous vote.

senting various party phases, all
agree in regarding the President
as the official head of a party,
and that party victory can on
ly be achieved by "dislionorable
work" melted by the hope of
spoils. y
The facts which they ignore
are, that Mr.. Hayes is not, and
does not claim to be, a party
President; he was not elected by
any party; is not a candidate for
reelection; does not require or
need any party support in the
maintenance of a policy which
has the express endorsement Of
a large majority Of American
citizens, not only as indicated
by popular vote at the last
general election, when his party
was in minority Of several
hundred thousands, but by many
of his own party conventions
subsequently. No party has any
claims upon him as President
He holds the office not by popu-
lar vote; not by the tenure pre-
scribed by the Constitution; but
by the judicial determination of
Il Board, the joint creation Of the
highest official representation of
both political parties, whose YER
dict he had no right to reject,
and in which all other parties
were pre-plcdged and in honor
bound to concur. He is as much
the President of the Democratic
House of Congress which created
the Board from which. he derived
his title, as he is of the Republi-
can party which nominated him,
and no shadow of fraud rests
upon his title, for which he is
responsible. He holds, not by
popular vote, but by a recogni-
ton of independent State sove-
reignty above and beyond the
reach of Federal interference,
even to inquire into or correct a
fraud or an error in the election
of President. President Hays
has mantully accepted the situa-
tion, lifted himself above party,
and is managing the affairs of
the government as one having
no responsibility to party and no
party responsible for his acts.

To THE EDITOR OF rHx DISPATCH:
A goodly number of Seattleites,
among them your humble servant,
left the "Queen City of the West
on yesterday morning, and after a
very pleasant trip arrived here about
three o'clock P. NJ, and found the
place all astir. the passengers (some
sixty in number) of the favorite lit
tie steamer Messenger as they came
ashore adding to the already throng-
ed appearance of the streets. But
unless the weather should soon
change, the fair will not be the sue
cess which all interested in the en-
terprise would like to see.
Judging from the muddy ap-
pearance of the water in the bay at
Seattle. also at Tacoma, the rivers
flowing into these bays must be un-
usually high for the time of year.
Since arriving here we learn that
David Byles, ct Elma, lost very
valuable horse few days ago while
attempting to cross the Chehalis
river, and that his son Lee came
near being drowned at the same
time, having been carried from the
wagon into the river and only being
saved by getting hold of seat that
had floated from the wagon box.

Porter, Esq, was to have been de-
iivered on yesterday, but was de-
ferred until to-day at one O'Clock,

vor Of the pigeon. The London
Spectator Of tho 21st ult. has this
account of the race between-tbe

A very careful experiment.
intended to test the speed of car
rier pigeons-was tried on Fri
day week. The bird, one OF the
homing pigeons known as "Bel-
gan voyageurs," was tossed
through the window of a railway
carriage as the express train left
the Admiralty pier at Dover
The train had been timed to
travel at sixty miles an hour,
but the bird reached its home in
Cannon street twenty minutes
before the train. AS it could
only shorten the distance by six
miles, it had travelled at pace
of seventy-fve miles an hour
The bird, when released from
the railway carriage, took nearly
half minute to discover its
bearings, rising to the altitude
Of half a mile before it set off on
it's course-pehaving, in fact, ex-
actly as If it knew that by rising
