It was rumored to-day that there had been a defalcation In the surgeon-general's department. Upon Inquiry it was officially ascertained that the disbursing clerk in the office of Dr. Billings, assistant surgeon-general, had disappeared, having In his possession the key of the safe.

There was no cash on hand, however, and it Is not thought probable that any money was made away with, as the only possible way for the clerk to obtain cash would have been by forging the signature of Dr. Billings. An examination of the accounts up to the present time has failed to develop any deficiency. The clerk has been in the department for twenty years, and has always been considered a trustworthy officer. A CANADIAN MARE'S NEST.

Upon Inquiry at the secret service division of the Treasury Department to-day regarding the alleged arrest of "Harrison, the noted counterfeiter of the United States and Canada," it was stated that no such person was known to the department. The statement that "there Is a standing reward of $5,000 by the United States government for the capture of two five-dollar plates of United States legal-tender" whs pronounced erroneous. Chief Detective Brooks said "there is no standing reward of $5,000 by the United States government for the capture of any United States five-dollar legal-tender plate. We know of no counterfeiter by the name of Harrison, and there are no dangerous counterfeit United States five-dollar plates in existence that we are aware of. Unless special arrangements are made the government does not pay more than $30 for Information looking to the conviction of a counterfeiter, aud that amount is the only standing reward." SANITARY INSPECTION SERVICE.

In accordance with the recommendations of the various State boards of health and of the sanitary council of the Mississippi valley, the national board of health has established its river-inspection service for the purpose of preventing the introduction and spread of epidemic, contagious or Infectious diseases along the Mississippi river, and of avoiding unnecessary obstruction to travel and traffic during the prevalence of such diseases.

OPENING EXCURSION TO ATLANTIC CITY ACCIDENT TO A CAPE MAY TBAIN. Philadelphia, June 16. The opening of the West Jersey and Atlantic railroad was celebrated to-day by an excursion from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, but there were three hours' delay on account of a misplaced switch and accident, eleven miles from Philadelphia, to the morning express from Cape May. Orders had been given the switchman to pass the express over the main track, and switch the mail train to the siding. Unfortunately he mistook the express for the other train and opened the switch for it.

When the engine struck the frog Its speed prevented it from following the siding metals. Five passenger cars were thrown in different directions, but not capsized, and no one was hurt, though the cars were full ot passengers. The engine plowed up cross-ties fifty yards. The engineer, Daniel Hill, saw the misplaced switch in time to apply the air brakes and bring the cars up solidly together, preventing to some extent the Jamming of one car against another. He stood by his post and received a broken ankle.

The fireman jumped and was bruised. No one else was hurt, though the passengers were badly jolted and frightened. Frank Thomson, general manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which operates the new line, was at the depot in Philadelphia tor the opening celebration. When the dispatch came reporting the accident he went at once to the scene of the wreck with a construction corps, and soon cleared the track. The passengers, numbering over two hundred, were transferred and reached Philadelphia by noon, and in an hour after the celebration excursionists were spee'ding over the same ground to Atlantic City, where they dined, and several hours were spent pleasantly.

The West Jersey and Atlantic makes the third rail route from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, which is rapidly growing in importance as a seaside resort. The International Rowing- Regatta.

Captain Scott, the diver, has personally Inspected every berth and the lower deck of the ill-fated steamer Narragansett, in Long Island Sound, and says there are no more bodies in the vessel, unless it may be the bodies of infants, crowded into unexpecte places in the boat.

A terrible scourge, resembling dysentery, is prevailing in Adams, Mass, which, eo far, has baffled the skill of physicians. Over 1,000 persons, old and young, have been stricken down. The physicians are busy night and day. Many eases, it is feared, will be fatal. There Is little doubt but that the epidemic Is occasioned by the impurities of the water in the reservoir.

In the Currie-Porter murder trial, at Marshall, Texas, the defense yesterday introduced testimony to prove that Currie was out of his mind at tbe time ot the killing. The evidence does not point to Insanity, but to confusion of intellect and Incoherence.

Attorney-General Owlm hn prepared a petition and were filed yester.iay.for the hearing in the Court of Anneals of the habeas corpus case of Margaret Glenn, whose petition for discharge from commitment to the House of Correction was granted by Judge Yellott several days ago.

at Towoontown. In coming to hi decision, Judge Yellott pronounced the act ot Assembly of 1880, chapter 6, void and unconstl-tutlonal in several particulars. That act re-stricts the judges In habeas corpus to cases occurring within the Jurisdiction ot their respec tive circuits. It also requires me juugo wm decides a law void on constitutional grounds to send his opinion and the papers in the case to me Court ol Appeals. Anoinor act aiuuuns the attorney-general to have an appeal sent up In cases to which the act applies.

lu this brief the attorney goueral taken about the same ground which he did In the argument of a habous corpus case beforo Chief Judgt Bnrtol last September, when he obtained a favorable decision of the questions ralBCd. Ho contends first that the right to deslgunto by legislative authority the courts or Judges to exercise jurisdiction In cases et habeas corpu has boon universally recognized, quoting Hurd on Habeas Corpus and various other authorities. The act of Assembly of 1780, chapter 10(5, limited the Jurisdiction In habeas corpus to particular court ami Judges in a utmi-lar manner to the act ot 1880, chapter 6. When the constitution of the State ot, Maryland declared that the circuit courts should have the Jurisdiction ot the former circuit courts, it also recognized tho power of the General Assembly to regulate by law the statutory Jurisdiction oC such courta from time to tlm. This brauch of theenne calls for no further observation.

The attoruey-poueral then argues that Justices of the peace area partot the Judicial system of the Kiato, and It has always been In the power of the Oeneral Assembly to confer on them such criminal and civil Jurisdiction as It considered they could fitly discharge. Thore is no provision In the act ot 1880, chapter 4L5, authorizing justices to commit persons to the Iloune of Correction which div prives an accused person of any constitutional right. He can have a copy of thecharge against htm, can be controntou with witnesses against him, and can have his own witnesses, and havo both examined on oath. He can have his Jury trial by appeal by being committed or giving ball for court, kc. It he submits to trial by tht Justice he waives his right to Jury trial.

Th rleht of the Gonernl Assembly to require thn Court of Appeals to review the opinion ot an inferior court or Judgo, and the right to requlrt such Inferior court or Judge to transmit tin opinion to be reviewed, are maintained as clearly legal and constitutional. Estlinntlnir J'opulatlon of Unltitnorn CitH What the Crnsus Itliirtose. Mr. N. 11.

Creagcr, supervisor of census for the first district of Maryland, comprising Baltimore city and county, estimates the population of th city at 330,000, in round numbers, excluding the bolt. Ho has received a lottor from Oou. Walker, superintendent ot census, authorising hlrn to make an estiiimto, if ho eotmldmu it proper to do so, of the population of Hiiltlinorw city. The official figures, however, eanuot bo glven until the returns to the principal ofllow of Gon. Walker, at Washington, have lieeu carefully examined and all possibility ot error from duplications or omissions, Bhould there bo any found, has been guarded against by the safeguards provided by the course pursued In the chief office.

Supervisor Crenger received a postal card dally from each enumerator, giving the result ot his work for the day, during the two weeks they were engaged in taking the census In th city. By counting the figures on these cards he finds the jiopulatlon of the city proper to 330,000, as staled. He says if the suburbs, or belt, as the adjacent country towns and villages are called, be lncliidod in tbe computation, as Is tho cose In Philadelphia and other largo cities, the population of Baltimore would bo close upon 400,000 lnhabltauts. Ho makes thft increase from 1870 to 18so to be 30 whereas from I860 to 1870 It was only 25 per cent. Mr.

Creager states that In making Ills preparatory estimate, lu order to divide the city within its legal llmjta into such sections or precincts as would admit of the work being done within the time prescribed, two weeks, he put the jiopulatlon at 357.000, purposely putting It 25,000 beyond the actual mark in order to be sure to have the districts ot such a slzo as would admit of the numbers being taken In the time limited. Allowing for the he now finds he was 2,000 Inhabitants out of tho way In his estimate. Mr. Creagor has been greatly assisted in the work in his office by Mr. D.

F. Dulany, his chief clerk. In estimating the population of the Bolt the supervisor considered that, as the city has grown and expanded In business, many prlvafe buildings and lots havo been usurped for business purposes, driving the population to the suburbs or outskirts, swelling the number ot residents there, and reducing the rate per square yard of residents in the central business sections. The population of the city, according to the last national census, that otl870, was In 1360 it was In 1850 it was. 169,054.

No deaths occurred on the voyage, and lu this respect It was unusually fortunate. The people came mainly from the Gorman empire, wltli a sprinkling ot Austrlaas and about 230 Scandinavians, Including Swedes, Norwegians and Dunes. Some of the immigrants wore well supplied with money and clothing, and noarly all hsd tickets for places in the West.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Adjournment of Consrress tioine Scenes Veto Sensations Ex-do v. llartranft's eniinatioii-The Presi-, dent and the Southern Campaign Movement on Cincinnati The Case of Postmaster Tyler, Ac. CLOSE OF THE SESSION. Washington, June 16.

The scenes in the House of Representatives to-day were not very different from former scenes at a break-up of Conaress, except in the one important particular that there was no opportunity to get a Job through. There was the same crowd In the galleries and the same anxiety on the floor to have measures passed. Since Monday Speaker Randall has managed to keep certain measures before the House," which operated to keep out miscellaneous business. The purpose of the Speaker was to exclude objectionable bills. But in the estimation of many members he enforced the rule too strictly.

Tnere were many meritorious claims which should have passed, but in order to keep jobs out the Speaker had it so arranged that nothing should get in except by unanimous consent. When the House was called to order the area in front of the clerk's desk was crowded with as many members as could well be packed there, and all demanding recognition. The most desperate efforts were made to "catch the Speaker's eye." Some had the most Impracticable propositions, which they knew could not be passed. Above the din for recognition rose the demand for the regular members in appealing terms said, "Oh, don't do Mr. McLane, who had charge of the sugar tariff bill, which was the regular order, yielded the floor without qualification, and thus vacated his right to regard the sugar bill as unfinished business.

In the midstof the turmoil the House adjourned for Tuesday's session, and Wednesday's session was opened with prayer. The chaplain had scarcely uttered when there was another clamor for recognition. Mr. Carlisle stopped the clamor for a few moments by reporting on a privileged matter which was in reference to the anonymous letter in the Washburne-Donnelly contested election case. A slight sensation was created by Mr.

Carlisle reporting that the majority of the committee had reached the conclusion that H. H. Finley, Mr. Donnelly's counsel and near friend, was the author of the anonymous letter. The majority of the committee at the same time exonerated Mr.

Donnelly from any guilty knowledge ot the matter. Then there was another rush for "the Speaker's eye." Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, caught it and got through a bill for the erection of a public building at Jackson, Miss. Other gentlemen tried to do the same thing for their districts, but were unsuccessful. If the Speaker recognized a democrat the republican side objected, aud vice versa if he recognized a republican.

Arter the Impossibility of accomplishing any business had been demonstrated, Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, interrupted all demands for recognition by moving a recess. A sufficient number of gentlemen refused to vote to make it appear that there was not a quorum present. Then a call of the House was ordered, to the great disgust of the members who wanted to get bills through. The roll was called rapidly, in order that all members might have their names recorded.

It got no further than to the name of Mr. Wise, of Pennsylvania, when the hands on tne clock pointed to 12, and the Speaker, in a brief speech, declared the session adjourned without day. The announcement was received with applause on the floor and In the galleries. Members remained only long enough to gather up their papers and say good-by. The flags on the Capitol were furled, not to be flung to the breeze again until December next, unless some extraordinary emergency shall compel the President to call the members together at an earlier date.

THE VETO BUSINESS. The veto message on the marshals biU was not taken up at all in the Senate to-day, and goes over until next December. To take It up would have involved the useless consumption of valuable time, and prevented the passage of many bills of importance and merit. After the President came to the Capitol this morning so me consternation was in the Senate and the House, by reports that he had determined to veto both the sundry civil and deficiency bills, because in the appropriations for marshals contained in them there is a proviso that none of the money shall be paid on account of election expenses. It is true that several republican Senators and Representatives who have the ear of the President actually, through pure "cussedness," advised the President to veto these bills, their Idea being that if Congross was brought back In extra session, and an issue forced between the President and the democratic majority, the opportunity which has been sought for in vain during all of this session to make political capital for the republicans might be secured.

The President wavered a little, but finally made up his mind to sign both bills. HABTBANFT'3 nomination. The nomination of ex-Gov. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, to be collector of the port of Philadelphia, was not reported; back from the Senate committee on commerce up to the time of adjournment to-day, and therefore falls with the session. It is said that the failure to report was due to the influence of Don Cameron, who did not want the present collector Tutton disturbed.

Mr. Wallace, the democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, was said to be in favor of Hartranft's confirmation. It was reported on the floor of the Senate that the President said if Hartranft was not confirmed he would appoint him as soon as the Senate adjourned. Several Senators said the President was inhibited from doing this under the tenure-of-offlce act, and should he do so ha would render himself liable to impeachment. But there is precedent for such appointment both under the Grant and under the present administration, and the Senators are most likely in error.

THE FLORIDA CAMPAIGN. The President to-day sent for ex-Senator Con-over, the republican candidate for Governor of Florida, and discussed the political situation at some length with hlrn. The President said that he considered Garfield to be a very strong candidate, and that he thought it extremely probable, if not almost certain, that while the democratic candidate might have the solid South, Garfield would have the solid North. He thought the democrats would make a bad mistake to put up any Ohio man in the hope of carrying that State. He asked Senator Conover what he thought of the prospect in the South, and expressed to him the hope that he would be elected Governor of Florida.

Mr. Con-over said he had no doubt at all of his election as Governor of Florida, more particularly, he said, as the democrats of Florida had put up an out-and-out Bourbon ticket all the way through. He said to the President that Gen. Grant would have been by far the strongest candidate In the South that the republicans could have nominated, but Garfield was popular, and he thought would ruu very well. He believed he could pull Garfield through in Florida, and he thought if the republicans would only spend some money and send some good speakers into the South, two or three other States might be carried.

A FIELD BATTEBY. A large party ot gentlemen in the interest ot Judge Field's candidacy left here this morning for Cincinnati. They are aoundantly equipped with all the sinews of war, and will establish handsome and attractive headquarters immediately on their arrival. THE CHARGES AGAINST POSTMASTEB TYLEB. The sub-committee of the Senate committee on civil service and retrenchment, to whom was referred the charges against Postmaster Tyler, of Baltimore, of dismissing certain employes because they had testified unfavorably in the progress of tne investigation made last summer into his conduct, did not examine any witnesses.

The committee, however, inspected the testimony in the case, and also the report made by the special agents of the Postofflce Department. It is understood that while the committee made up no formal decision in the matter, the opinion was that, as the postmaster had the undoubted power to remove his employes, and the special agents had no authority to assure employes who gave testimony that they would no be disturbed In consequence, there was no case calling for action by the NOT RICH ENOUGH YET. A Maryland postmaster who received an official appeal from Edward McPherson, secretary of the republican executive committee, for a "voluntary contribution" in aid of the campaign, has Bent It back here without any contribution, as his emoluments are not large enough to warrant any response.

Garfield Is a guest, was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting, and the surrounding streets were brilliantly illuminated with calcium lights, while at frequent intervals rockets and other fireworks were set off from the steps of the Treasury Department As the procession filed past cheers were for Garfleld, and as that gentleman appeared on the platform, accompanied by ex-Secretary Robeson" and Attorney-General Devens, they were renewed. Col. J. O. P.

Burnside introduced Gen. Devens, who stepped to the front of the platform, and, after a few introductory remarks, said "I introduce Gen. Garfleld as a scholar who has found the path of learning no primrose path, but has won his way along by steady industry a soldier whose shield Is un soiled, and whose sword Is ppotless; a statesman on whom rests no stain or dishonor; a Christian gentleman respecting the rights of every man, because he himself is kind, considerate and self-respecting always." Loud cheers. SPEECH OF GEN. GARFIELD.

Gen. Garfleld said Fellow-Citizens While I have looked upon this great array I believe I have gotten a new idea of the majesty of the American people. When I reflect that wherever you find sovereign power esry reverent heart on this earth bows before it, and when I remember that here, for a hundred years, we have denied the sovereignty of any man, and. In place of it, we have asserted the sovereignty of all in place ot one, I see before me so vast a concourse that it is easy for me to imagine that the rest of the American people are gathered here to-night, and, If they were all here, every man would stand uncovered and in unsandaled feet in presence of the majesty of the only sovereign power in this government under Almighty-God. And, therefore, to this great audience I pay the respectful homage that in part belongs to the sovereignty of the public.

I thank you for this great and glorious demonstration. I am not for one moment misled into believing that it refers to so poor a thing as anyone of our number. I know it means your reverence to your government, your reverence for Its laws, your reverence lor its' institutions, and your compliment to one who is placed for a moment in relations to you of peculiar Importance. For all these reasons I thank you. I cannot at this time utter a word on the subject of general politics.

I would not mar the cordiality of this welcome to which, to some extent, all are gathered, by any reference except to the present moment and its significance; but I wish to say that a large portion of this assemblage to-night are my comrades late of the war for the Union. For them I can speak with entire propriety, and can say that these very streets heard the measured tread of your disciplined feet years ago, when the imperilled republic needed your hands and your hearts to save it. And you came back with your numbers decimated, but those of you left behind were immortal and glorified heroes forever, and those you brought back came carrying, under tattered banners and in bronzed hands, the ark of the covenant of your republic In safety out of the bloody baptism of the war. Cheers. And you brought it in safety, to wave forever, by your valor and the wisdom of your brethern who were at home, and by this you were again added to the great civil army of the republic.

I greet you, comrades and and the great body of distinguished citizens who are gathered here to-night, who are the strong stay and support of the business, of the prosperity, of the peace, of the civic ardor and glory of the republic, and I thank you for your welcome to-night. It was said In a welcome to one who came to England to be a part of her glory and all the nation spoke when It was said 'Normans and Saxons and Danes are we, but all of us Danes in our welcome to And we say to-night of all the nation, of all the people, soldiers and civilians, there is one name that welds us all Into one. It is the name of American the Union and under the glory of the flag that led us to victory and to peace. Applause. For this magnificent welcome I thank you with all there Is In my heart." LOGAN AND OTHERS.

Congressional nominating conventions were held yesterday In the third and fourth districts, to name dem ocratic candidates for Concrees to be voted for at the fall election. The third district convention met at Broadway Institute, and was called to order by Thos. S. Wilkinson. N.

Rurus GUI was made temporary chairman, aud James H. Hough temporary secretary. Geo. Eionberg, August Berkomeier, Edward M. Baker, J.

Is. Buckley, Thos. A. Rittter, Dr. J.

I. Gross, Laurence Kausmaul, Andrew Sat tor Held and Joshua Plaskltt were made a committee on credentials and permanent organization. They reported the list of delegates correct as published in THE SUN, and N.RufusGlU permanent chairman, with a number of vice-presidents. Mr. Jesse N.

Bowen nominated Mr. Fetter 8. Hob-litzell, of the sixth ward, for Congress from the third district, and he was nominated by acclamation. Messrs. Jesse N.

Bowen, T. T. Hutch-ins and C. F. Deltorly were appointed a committee to wait on Mr.

Hoblltzell aud Inform him of his nomination. Mr. Hoblltzell was escorted into the hall and introduced to the convention. He said that he had been informed of the harmonious action of that body in selecting him as the standard-bearer ot the district in the coming congressional contest. In accepting this honor he recognized the activity of the younger democracy of the district, rather than auy special merit of his own.

Should this action be confirmed by his election, he would be earnest in his endeavors to merit their confidence. In the recent contest some division had been created by honest gentlemen who had tailed in obtaining their wishes, but Its Importance had been greatly magnified. From every quarter of the country representatives of the democratic faith presented an unbroken column to the enemy. Is It to be proclaimed that here, in the very home of democracy, intolerance should raise its banner against the only party that could support the safety and perpetuity of the Union aud integrity of the government? In the presidential contest it presented the only barrier to stop the march of imperialism in America. This" was no time for doubt, but for united action, that the sword of justice should put a stop to the outrages against the sovereign commands of the people.

Their great adversaries had already stripped for the arena. The democrats should close up their ranks to battle for equal rights of all before the law; to prevent reckless expenditure of public money; to keep Congress in its proper bounds, and re-establish in all its pristine vigor the supremacy of civil over military rule. The convention of the fourth district met at Western China Hall, and was called to order by Morris A. Thomas, chairman of the city executive committee. James W.

McElroy was made temporary chairman, and Robertson Howard secretary. Chas. J. McAleese, Philip Walsh, E. A.

Glbbs, J. Frank Rlalls, Dr. Jno. C. Harris, Henry Soy fried, Jas.

C. Sturgeon were appointed a committee on credentials and permanent organlzatiou. The committee reported the list of delegates as published in The Sun correct, and the officers as lven above, With a number of vice-presidents. Adopted. Mr.

Carroll Spence nominated Hon. Robert M. McLane as a candidate for Congress from the fourth district. In his remarks he laid especial stress upon the necessity of having men ot Integrity, intelligence and political experience at the helm ot government at this time. To put such men there was more than ever incumbent upon the democratic party on the eve of a great presidential contest, which will undoubtedly produce a change In the national administration.

Dr. John C. Harris seconded the nomination, and, on motion ot Mr. acob Schenkel.it was made by acclamation. Mr.

Spence announced that Mr. McLane was detained in Washington by business in connection with the sugar bill now before Congress. Messrs. Carroll Spence, R. P.

Bailey, Henry Lltz, Jno. T. Gosaoll, Goo. P. Hamlin and Thos.

W. Campbell were appointed a committee to notify Mr. McLane ot his nomination. Those gentlemen at once sent a telegram to him, at Washington, and in a short time received the following reply by telegraph "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram advising me of my renomlna-tlon by the convention of the democratic conservative party as a candidate for Congress lu the fourth congressional district. Grateful for the honor Itself and the unanimity which the convention manifested, I beg to accept the nomination, and to renew my pledge ot fidelity to the principles and policy of the democratic conservative party.

I have to add that I keenly appreciate thn responsibility which attaches to the representation of a great commercial community, with all Its active industries, and I hope to be not only zealous but efficient In caring tor the same.

He said that he had been beaten by the captain of the vessel, who charged that the explosion of the lamp was Huhn's fault.

He lost an eye from the treatment he received, or from other cause, and an abscess which formed had much to do with the wasting away ot his vitality. It was stated that he had been also ill with typhoid fever. Huhn left a timliy in Philadelphia, who have been notified of his death. Dr. Walker, coroner, was notified.

A post mortem will be made, and a Jury of Inquest will meet at noon to hear testimony lu the case. Fifth. lerffirrfnt' Stitnmrf Trip.
