WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HALF A SENTENCE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.l
WASHINGTON, June 20.-A serious error has been
discovered in the enrolment Of the Sundry Civil
bin by the Clerk Of the House. An examination of
the law at the State Department to-day shows that
the amendment relative 10 the Hot Springs reserya-
tion. over which there was such hot contest in the
Senate. is almost entirely omitted from the bill.
portion of one sentence only remains, and that is
connected with the paragraph providing that the
National Academy of Sciences shall consider the
possibility of consolidating the geographical and
geological surveys Of the Territories. As the law
reads. after making this provision it declares and
the tax imposed shall not exceed $40 per tub per
annum.p
The original amendment which is omitted, appro-
PIRATES S27 500 for the expenses Of the Hot Springs
Commission directs its reappointment, aud instucts
the Secretary of tho Interior to lease to the present
nronrietors of the Arlington Hotel, the grounds now
6ccnpied by them for period OF five years, etc.
Tins amendment was expected TO settle long con-
froversv that has been existing, ana was opposed
by n strong lobby. There Is no evidence leading 10

sue as well to order the payment Of its expenses,

mcuts cannot consent that either yourself or the
bankers who furnished the funds should be chargeabe
with such portion Of the amount expended on my
account. therefore inclose sight draft on New-YOrk

mission sent TO Louisiana by the President In the Spring
OF 1877, is received am desired by the President to
return this draft you uncollccted he is Of the
opinion that Congress will yet make provision for this
expenditure and, at all events, that you ought not to
pay any part Of II. AS you know the President was
called upon IN April 1877, in the exercise OF high
constitutional duty, ana in an emergency when two
rival State Governments arrayed against each
other I'm open armed hostility threatening at any mo-
mout the public peace TO send to Louisiana commits

ary assumed and faithfully performed. In the absence
OF an appropriation OF public money available for the
expenses Of the Commission the then Assistant Secre
tary OF the Treasury invited, from the First National
Bank OF NcwYor loan OF the sum needed, and Il was
chccrfuy granted and the money was expended under
your direction IL not doubted but that Congress
would in uuumerable similar cases or the exercise
OF legal power by executive officer. reimburse the
money thus expended for object unforeseen when
Congress in session. In this case have assurances
from senators that the money would probably have been
appropriated but that the amendment proposed was at
late period Of the session TO delay aud endanger
the passage OF the leading Appropriation bills. L
doubt that Congress, at its next session, when
this subject will be again presented VIII make the nee
essury appropriation but II II does not, the President

The Ottoman members of the Congress have
presented a large number memorials from the Chris
tan subjects Of the sultan, praying that they may be
left under his rule and protesting in the strongest
terms against being handed Russia Bulgaria or
Austria. The position Of the Ottoman delegates is that
the dismemberment Of the Turkish Empire is neither
necessary practicable in the interests OF peace. No
dismemberment is possible which will not excite teal
Ousy on one side or dsahcctOn the other. Turkey Is
ready accept the reforms prescribed for her by the

ample. The Treaty stefano simply extorted
