THETREASURY.

SECRETARY FoLGER SLIGHTLY BETTER-BU-
REAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-It is understood
that Secretary Folger has rendered the posi-
ton of chief OF the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing to John w. Corning, of Geneva,
n. Y, who was at one time sergeant at arms
of the Legislature OF New York, and that he
has virtually accepted The appointment.
Secretary Folger is reported better to-day.
His Improvement is slight, however, and it
is feared that perfect recovery will be slow.
He took cold Monday, and is now suffering
with an liberated sore throat.
Additional charges sgsinst Supervising
Architect Hill at the Treasury Department,
and are now in the hands OF Secretsry Fol-
ger. Their nature is not known 10 the pub
lie, bu, it is said on good authority that they
relate 10 contracts and expenditures for the
new government building at Philadelphia.
This matter is said to be assuming serious
shape, and the charges recently filed are
not in the nature of = repetition of the old
stories.
A question has arisen at the Treasury De-
partment in regard to the following pro.
visions of the tobacco echtdule in the new
tariff act: Leaf tobacco, of which eighty-fve
per cent. is Of the requisite sizs and of the
necessary fnepess OF texture to be suitable
fer wrappers, and of which more than 100
leaves are required 10 weigh a pound, if not
stemmed, seveuty-sve cents per pound, il
stemmsd 81. The doubt is as TO whether
eighty-fve per cent. is to be computed upon
the whole quantity of tobacco embraced in
the invoice, or upon the contents of each
separate package. The matter has been re-
ierred to the collectors of customs at New
York and Boston, with instructions to con-
sult the trade and report a rule for the gov
eminent OF the department on this question.

HELENA, ARK, March 15.-There has
been fraction over two inches fall during
the last twenty-four hours, with scant forty
six feet on the gauge tonight. The weather
lie cloudy and cooler, with the wind from the
northwest. An examination of the levees
to day reveals some alarming symptoms
from the water-line 10 the base they are
thoroughly saturated, an unusual amount Of
sipsge coming through. Ia many places
eaving has set in, and some fears of internal
disintegration are entertained. The only
serious breaks that have ever occurred to the
city levee have been the result of hollow
places, with only a crust on top, and about
these giving away from some sudden pres
sure and gaining such Roadway that
no efforts could be made to stop them.
Now the ltvees are rotten all through,
being little more than so many mud en-
bsnkments, which might at any moment be
swept away at one stroke. Pilots are re-
quested to keep their steamers away from
them as far as possible, and in passing near
go on a slow bell. 1t will re-
quire at least another week of dry, calm
weather, with , rapid decline of the river, to
place US beyond the possibility of a disaster.
There is still perfect confidence in the intes-
rity of our esrthen bulwarks, but close watch
will be maintained, and ready appliances
for repelling an attack kept in conve nient
proximity TO all suspicious localities.
Donstions OF money from the Red Cross
Society for food sufferers have been sent in
amounting to nearly 5000. As there is no
suffering, and has been none for which
ample local provision has not been made,
the money was returned with grateful
acknowledgment.
