The Eagle u ith Eight Tall. Feathers.


BY some means report was started, which
has since been extensively copied In the news
papers, that there was o premium on the flrst
Issue OF silver dollars OF 1875 on which the
eagle appears TO have eight tail feathers.
Is conSf queDce, 30 many Inquiries are re-
cefved each day at the US. Treasury about the
supposed premium that the Director OF the
MfLr has been obliged to have a circular letter
sieIeotyped to be cent IN reply TO all such. IL
bril- gs disappointment to all holders OF these
dollars. for IL reads:
'TREAsURYDBPARTMKNT.B BUREAU OF THE MINT,
WASHINGTON. -. &
"Sfr-Your letter of the - addressed TO
the Secretary or the Treasury, relative to the
value of the silver dollar on which the eagle
has eight tsilfeathers, has been referred to this
ofijce.
Upwards OF q million OF these pieces were
struck and issued. and they are OF no more
value than other dollars.
Very respectfully,
.'HoRATIo C. BURcHARD, Director"
The dollars struck on since the first issue
show hut seven feathers in the eagles tail,
owing TO a change in the position OF the arrow
the eagle boids In its talon, by which one OF
the tail- feathers Is concealed
This seems an unimportant matter, yet a
considerable portion Of clerical labor ia the
Treasury department is devoted each day 70
attending 70 just such inquiries as that In
sfanced. which must pass through the same
routine as correspondence concerning the
weightier matters OF the Law.

Especial Dispatch TO The Evening Stdr.]
ELBKRoN, LONG BRANCH, N. J., June "a
There has been some comment made upon the
fact that Gen. Grant has not called upon Presi.
dent GARFIELD. The truth Is that Gen. Grant
has been here only tw o evenings. going to New
York in the day time early for business and re.
turning late. he would have called last night
but was under the impression that the Pres'-
dent had gone to the press dinner at the Ocean
bouse. IL is Gen. Grants intention to call this
evening, should the President be here. OF this
there Is no doubt, which dispeis the rumors OF
personal disagreement between the President
and eX- President.

A SURPRISE INTENDED.

SURPRISE INTENDED.
In regard to the motion made in the Grim
inal Court yesterday in behalf OF Gen. Brady,
the Impression has gone out that Col Corkhill,
the District attorney. was fully aware that
such motion was to be called up, and tnat
knowledge of it was studiously kept from
Colonel Cook. Colonel CorkhiIl states that
he was unaware OF such intention until
he reached his Office few minutes before the
court opened. It Is stated also that Col
TOtten's attention was only called to the mat
ter but few minutes before by Mr.. Jeremtsh
Wilson, and, therefore, that Col Tot
ten was not responsible, for the fact
that Col Cook was not apprised
OF the Intention TO make the motion. Certain
It 1s, however, that Col. Cook only learned of
the motion when Col. Totten rosa In court to
make 1t, and 1t was by accident tnat he was In
the court room.
1t is thought by some that the idea of Gen.
sentatiOn Il the case before the public without
opportunity for reply.

ton. Coming from a level region like
Kansas, they were at first disposed to
look unfavorably on some of the roll
ing sections visited; but this feeling
was soon overcome by their witness
ing the high state OF cultivation going
on regardless of hills. They were
agreeably surprised at the large area
in cultivation and the promising ap-
pearance of the crops. The excellen-
cies of the soil far exceeded anything
they had ever witnessed. After visit
ing other sections on the coast they
will decide; but, judging from their
satisfaction with the country, we con-
fidently expect that the committee
will advise the colony to make Wash
