Mr.. Whitncy's Unauthorized Assistants-Pre-
tended Economy for Political Capital.
Washington Special to Commercial Advertiser.
For several weeks Secretary Whitney has had
employed IN the Navy Department William Cal
houn and two others, named Corson and Fetch
err as helpers, the pretended object being to in
troduce a new method Of keeping the accounts
of the department, though it is not doubted the
real motive is to discover something with which
to make capital at the expense Of the retiring
administration and aid the Democratic party in
future campaigns These three men have been
nosing about the department for weeks, ransack-
ing files and minutely examinging every scrap of
paper bearing upon the past history of the same
They have discovered nothing. 1t is pretended
that bureau Of accounts is to be established to
audit every expenditure Of money for the Navy
Department. but every one understands that
this is blind" to misead the country. The
Fourth Auditor Of the Treasury is charged with
just that very duty, and that duty alone, and it
would not be in the line Of re resrenchment or
economy if such bureau were added to those
of the Navy Department. The scheme
once proposed TO Secretary Chandler, but he re-
garded it as wholly unnecessary, and only an
increase of expense in running the Department
AS good Democrat, anxious TO convert his
department into political machine, Secretary
Whitney is acting in a way to please the bulk of
his party, but it is openly charged that he has
clearly violated the law of his country in doing
so. The statutes expressly prohibit this very
action of the Secretary in employing Calhoun,
Corson and Fletcher. Section III of the Re-
vised Statutes prohibits the employment of any
person in any department Of the government, in
Washington or elsewhere except during q ses-
sion of Congress- and then the work performed
must be something done in response to call
from one OF the TWO houses of Congress, and at
such times the person employed shall receive
certain per diem salary, not to exceed 81 a day.
1t is said that he employed Calhoun at a salary
at 81. 80 day. Section of the supplement to
the Revised Statutes is even moro strongly
against such employment, but were those sec
tions considered inefficient to cover the case,
there may be found in the naval appropriation
bill, approved August 5, 1852, the following Ian
guage:
The executive officers Of the government are
hereby prohibited from employing any clerk,
agent, engineer, draughtsman, messenGeE,

THE LABOR TROUBLES.
Probability That the Striking Poles at Cleve-
land Will Resume Work


land Will Resume Work
CLEvELAND, July l2,-It is probable that the
Polish workmen of the Cleveland Rolling mill
Company who comprised the greater number of
the strikers, will resume work within day or
two Their priest, after an interview with
Mayor Gardner and President Chisholm, of the
rolling mill company, yesterday stated
that he was satisfied the men
did not correctly understand the sit
uation. In his sermon to day he explained to
the strikers the condition of affairs. He advised
them to 60 home and think the matter over and
go back to work He told them if
they committed acts of violence, they
would lose the sympathy of the people and
ignore their cause. The priest has great infu
ence over the men, and he expressed the belief
that the Poles would all resume work if the
authorities would protect them against the other
strikers. The priest denies that the Poles were
imported to work for the rolling mill company,
many of them being citizens OF, aud thoroughly

FRANCE AND CHINA.
The Peace Negotiations Between France
and Chins-FeTry's Attitude.

LONDON, April s.
The Paris correspondent of the Times, says
that the Peace negotiations between France
and China were conducted through Ferry,
President Grevy having authorized Mr..
Bilot to act for him. When the Chinese
government heard of the fall of Ferry it tele-
graphed to Campbell, Chinese representative,
to get Ferry's successor to sign the prelimi
naries of peace. Ferry, however, continued
to work, and delayed to notify President
Grevy of the signature of the preliminaries
until the committee of the chamber had re-
tired to consider the demand for the TonquiD
credit. keeping the new ministry ignorant of
the affair.
Admiral Coubet sends further particulars
concerning the capture Of Mahung by the
French. He says the Chinese garrison con-
sists of $500 men, of whom about 400 were
killed and as many more wounded. The
French captured fourteen rfled cannon.
A paper says that Ferry has evidently re-
solved to make his successors ridiculous and
to preserve to himsely the merit of conclud-
ing the treaty of peace with China, therefore
he has skilfully circulated contradictory re-
ports.
The preliminaries Of peace stipulate that
hostlities shall cease on the l0th inst and
that the Chinese shall evacuate the Red
River delta on the 20th, and other positions
gradually, while the French shall occupy
Fomosa and Pheng Hoo, enforce the block
ate of rice ports, and search neutrals until a
definite treaty of peace has been signed. 1t
is believed that France asks an indemnity for
the Frenchmen wounded in battle.
