Second The parties of the first part (Mr. Roach) .under , such an alleged contract to . prosecute an action against phe parties of the second part (Secretary Whitney) for the balance pf the purchase money , alleged to be due under said contract' and for com perisation for additional work and al terations made pursuant to the pros visions of the said alleged contract. In event that a lien shall be determin ed to exist in favor of the United S'iites upon said vessel, or in the event that' the Government shall be found entitled to any money, judgs ment or reclamation recoverable from parties of the' first part or either of t'lem, then, and in that event the said steamship shall be first applied to the satisfaction of said lien or judgment and tlie value of said steam ship at the time of such transfer for the purpose of satisfying said lien claim or j'udgment, in lieu of being determined by judicial sale, shall be found by the "court upon proot to be advanced by the respective parties;' and for the purpose oi such determi nation her value shall be deemed to be the price specified for her in ex hibit A; plus, amounts Covered by orders issued by the Secretary of the Navy for alterations, and additional work minus whatever sum, if any, shall be found by thejeourt necessary, to have been expended in order to make said ship, when transferred to the Government, conform to and rep resent a full performance on the part of the parties of the first part of the obligations binding upon them in the construction thereof; and said steam ship shall be deemed to have repre pented at the time of such transfer to the Secretary of the Navy, the amount thus determined in satisfaction of any lien, claim or demand which the Government may maintain. A settlement has been made on the basis of the above agreement except that upon consideration the sureties were not deemed to have any right of action and therefore could not sue, and have been dropped. The only other change is that $25,000 to be re tained from moneys coming due on the Dolpbin contract until the litiga tion is' disposed of. This settlement it is said at the Department is in ev ery way satisfactory both to the con tractor and Department. --- Increase of Sparrows.

C , - Julyl7eodlT The First Echo. New York World. : The Civd-Service Commissionei s to succeed Mr. Eaton and Mr. Grego ry were appointed by the President yesterday. They are Alfred R Ed gerlon, exC5ongressman from Indi ana. and William L. Trenholm, of South Uarolma. They are both Democrats. Both are said to be capable and upright men; They are decided improves ments on the retiring Commissioners. The Civil-Service law wilf be better and more equitablv enforced under their, control, beeuuse there will be no preH -it?r:ii npfes V-mthV work sud cb fckiictiui .tht-u ;e to iuit'i cXe with their practical utility. The most gratifying feature of the appointments, however, is the fact that both, the new Commissioners are pronounced' Democrats. Not that there should be anything of a parti san complexion about the Civil-Ser vice Commission, but because it is an acknowledgement that many Demo crats fare honest Civil Service re formers and may be trusted to carry- out: the "law with fairness and em ciency. Mr. Trenholm has won 'high rept: tation among the leading financiers of the country by his papers 'read before the 'Bankers' Conventions, and is a gentleman of culture, ahd of a nigh order of literary ability. Mr. Edgerton has been an honored Dems ocratic leader in his State and is! a man of cultivated: intellect.. , . May it not "be ' hoped ' that these appointments are the first fruits' of the lesson taught by the New York election, and that' they will be fol lowed by others of as marked a char acter?

It is ascertained that he is a defaulter to the amount of $18,000. He' was in the habit Of appropriating to his own use two or three hundred doHars at a time until the amount reached one thousand dollars, when he would make a promisory note signing it Pratt & Burchard, and then falsify in his statement when confronted by the directors of the bank.
