The Hill Investigation.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Hill
investigation was resumed this morn.
ing. Supervising Architect Hill was
questioned as to the standing of the
United States company to which
numerous contracts had been let, for
furnishing iron shutters, but was un-
able to give any information as to
the status of the company.
Secretary Folger was then sworn,
who fatty contradicted that part If
Hills testimony where he swore
that he had shown a paper to
the Secretary containing the
story of an offer Of $4,000
to Manly, Cooper & Co. to with
draw; he did show witness such a
paper, but he stated verbally that one
OF the bidders had made a proposition
for the Maaly-CoOper company to
withdraw their bid, as it was reason
ably to be supposed that the lowest
bidder would have the contract. No
investigation of alleged bribery was
ordered. The amount Of $4,5OO was
not mentioned by Hill, nor was the
name OF the party who offered BRIDE
ry given. There was at that time no
question of rejecting the bid. / GER
tainly understand that if the shutters
Of Manly, Cooper & Co. stood the test
they were to have the contract.
In reply to further questions, MI.
Folger said: [ knew before the con-
tcact was finally awarded that their
(Manly, Cooper Il Coz shutters did
not meet the required specifica-
tions in thickness. Hill made no
written report on the subject. l
would not undertake to say, he said,
that they pledged themselves to fur
nish the shutters as required within
"a hours. and that it should not inter-
fere with the execution of the con-
tract; nor do I remember that he told
me that the shutters of the next low
est bidder were also thicker than
called for in the specifications.
Coleman Heinstadt said that owing
to the fact that no allowance, as Of
ten requested, had been furnished the
prosecution for the examination of
papers and accounts, General Stein
metz has been unable alone to pre-
pare all the evidence they wished to
present in the Bartlett-Robbins
case The prosecution, however,
were ready to go on with another
branch of the case which would not
require much time. Counsel then
read as specifications under the gen.
eral charges of fraud and corruption,
that Hill as the supervising architect
of the Treasury in March, 1877,
promised and agreed with James Nj.

The Revenue Districts.--Treasury
Reserve,


WASHINGTON, June PAN error
was made in the statement furnished
the press last night concerning the
reorganizing the internal revenue
districts in California. The first in
formation from the Department was
to the effect that the first aud fourth
districts in the California sdistrict
and Nevada had been consolidated.
whereas, the fact is, the first district
was left undisturbed and Chancellor
Harrison is retained collector. The
only change made in California was
the consolidation OF the fourth district
with the district of Nevada. The
new district will be known us the
Fourth District of California.
The treasury reserve which has
been steadily increasing for several
days now amounts to $142, 4S1 $3.50. 1t
IS stated that the payment to be made
the present month of account of pen
sion will not exceed $1,125,O00. The
quarterly interest on the 1 per cent.
loan, due July 1st next. amounts to
s 100000.

linghuysen and Teller, both Of whom
are out Of the city. The principal
question considered was the alleged
shipment of pauper immigrants to
this country from Ireland by the
British authorities. The result of the
deliberation ON the subject was shown
in the subsequent action of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, who tele-
graphed instructions to the Col
lector of Customs at New York
City to cooperate with the
commissioners of immigration at that
port to prevent all emigrants landing
found to be paupers within the mean
ing of the law, In the event Of such
pauper migrants as may have al
ready landed as is reported to be the
case with q large number shipped On
the steamship Furnesia. the collector
is instructed to take all practicable
measures to have them re-shipped 10

On the recommendation of Second
Comptroller Heavy, Secretary Folger
referred to the court of claims for

deau, U. Is. A., retired, now consul
general to Havana. This case in
wolves the question of the right of
retired army officers employed in
consular service to receive pay for
both offices. 1t also involves the gen.
eral question of whether the accept
ance by retired army officers of a pv
sition in another branch is not equi-
valent to a resignation of his com-
mission in the army. The Secretary
of the Treasury has still under con-
an offer to compromise the
case.

GAMBLING AND WHISKEY ON
THE FAIR GROUND.

Some three aCeeks ago, the members
constituting the New Organization
of the Agricultural Association de-
cided by a very emphatic expression
of opinion that all gambling and use
of ardent spirits should be forbidden
on the Fair Ground. This we think
was very wise and proper determi
nation. This expression of opinion
was not embodied in the form of any
order or resolution at the time simp-
]y, because, the association had not
then been organized under its new
charter; and no minutes were pre-
served of its action.
The members of the new associa-
ton can very safely say to all cleri-
cal and temperance friends, that
this determination will be firmly
carried out as then expressed, so
soon as an official organization shall
take place.
