Chronicle... VISIT OF THB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF IBISH CITIZENS Tv THE PRESIDENT. Yesterday afternoon, at three o’clock, the Executsve Committee of Irish Citizens of the District of Columbia called, by. appointment Upon President Jobnson. and hada pleasant interview. Hob. Jonn Hogan, of Missouri, accompanied the committee. The purpose of the committee was to make known the wishes and feelings of Irish American citizens upon matters of interest to themselves and those ‘whom they represent. DR. ANTISELL 8 ADDRESS. Dr. Thomas Antisell, chairman of the com- Mittee, submitted to the President a statement of the views and sentiments of the commitiee, and of those in whose interests t spoke. He commenced ~ welcoming the Presiden: back to bis post ‘he committee, he said, had been in communion with their friendsin the Northern States, and represented the Irish people. They have been called upon to dis- criminate between their life-long friends, the Democracy, andthe Radicals. They look to Washington and see the machinery of war still rating, although war bas long ceased. They ask that changes may be made in the Cabinet—with a more liberal Cabinet they be- lieve amore liberal spirit would prevail. The Irish citizens, by.an mtense yearning for their native country, have placed them- selves in am apparent antagonism to the Goy- ernment. They think theconduct of some of | our consuls in Ireland, in not standing up strictly enough for the rights of adopted citi- zens, deserves rebuke, and they ask their re- moval and more acceptable ones be made. They speak of the way of transit in Europe, and they desire that this subject should be presented to the attention of the British Gov- ernment. ® The Irish people deny that*they have ever | committed treason in ing to tree themselves | from the British yoke. “They allude to the re- trespective statuie of the Briush Parliament am iné5, and reterring to the course of the Min- ister gt St. James, they suggest that a person of more liberal sentiments would better repre- sent the epinions of the American people. They suggest that the Alabama claims should be pressed to adjndication. They suggest that it would be well if England would ¢mitate the wise policy ot the United States in pardoning those concerned in the civil war. aad hope that an effort will be made to intluence her to release Irish prisoners confined for no offense. The Iri-b are a nation here, with three-fourths of a million of voters, and they suggest that in | Appointments to be made in post offices and in | the mternal revenue that Iri<b citizens should receive their pro rata share of the offices. Not Silone in the State offices, but in the diplomatic corps they suggest that our Irith citizens be represented. They hope these suggestions will receive the President's favorable consid- eration, and they extend their best wishes to bim. THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY. The President, in reply, briefly, but forcibly and earnesdy, that the action of the Ad- Ministration shall be so directed as to thor- ougbly promote the best and dearest interests ofthe Irish citizens. He felt, he said, the force of their suggestions, and highly appreciated the deep interest manifested by those present. He reterred them to his past record. wherein he bad shown he was always consistently and earnestly a friend of the Irish. He might say he was himself ht: a tinctured with sym- pathy for the Irish. He reiterated his deciara- tion that the Administration would do allin ats power to promote the interest of the Irish eitizens, and in reference to the Irish prisoners, #&id determined action had already beer taken | to effect their release and attain the end they sought. in conclusion, the President forcibly re. maked that all the suggestions of the committee should have deliberate, and in all instances where it could be properly done, especially an the interests of the Irish citizens, tayorabie consideration. Upon the conclusion of his reply all the members of the committee cordially shook bands with the President ahd withdrew. THE babes ss fou ADDITIONAL The board recently appointed by the Secre- ‘ary of War to prepare rules and regulations for the guidance of the Paymaster General in the payment of the additional bounty to sol- diere, under the recent act of Sion gross, has made its reports to the Secretary ath refer- ence tothe payment of boun to Indians | and negro soldiers, it is recommended that it be gone under the same rules and regulations as have heretofore been exercised in the case ot white tenes in the Paymaster General's | office, where discharged soldiers are to receive their additional bounties, the same system. as faras cticable, as has been pursued in t Second Audi office im the payment of bounties due the heirs of di soldiers, is Tecommended. The form of seuiensien will be the same as » With the exception that the number of the certificate used ia pre- vious settlement must be given. If the name of the soldi«r, with regiment, company, and, if deceased, the time of death, be furnished, there can be examipation and settlement. The Paymaster General will make arrange- ments to pay at least 4u0,(00 claims In the Second Auditor's Office there are on file 13,100 claims from soldiers’ beirs, and 32,00 from dis- cebarged soldiers. The lauer are to be trans- ferred to the office of the Paymaster General. The Second Auditor is expecting 25,000 li- cations. Counting the claims filed in the De- ‘mts and those held by State agencies and claim agents, it is estimated, at the lowest calculation, that there are 750,000 claims for additional bounty in this city awaiting action PENSION NOTABISS. Numerous applications being made for ap- Poimtments as pension notaries, itis proper to | state that these officers are only designated at localities more than twenty-five miles distant from apy place in which a court of record is held, for the convenience of &pplicants for pen- sions, who would otherwise be mired to make their ¢eclarations before some officer of a court of record. The authority for such desig- mation by the Commissioner of Pensions is found im the third section of the su plementary pension act of July 4, 1964. These officer, ly authorized by the local authorities to adntinister oa bs, have no other duty by virtue of their selection as pension notaries, than to take the «worn declaration of applicants for foamy at the places for which they are ap- NAVAL CHANGES.

M. _, Wasuineton. September 19, 1568. Jay Cooks & Co. furnish the following quotations of Government securities : : tod A FORGERY. The Chronicle of this morning has the follow- ing in a conspicuous position, the introductory lines being in leaded editorial type: “RECONSTRUCTION IN NEW ORLEANS. The following letter was picked up in the depot at Springfield, Iinois, on the sth inst. : Mayor's Orrick, New Og.eans, La. August 9, 1866.—His Excellency President John. si (om, D.0.2— hn son, Wastingt repiy to yours of ist instant, I would state that any person opposing yourself or your policy of reconstruction finds lite favor with your citizens. The removal of General sheridan would give unfeigned sausfaction, If it was not for fear of your friends, North taking umbrage, i would advise the with- drawal oftae American flag. Itis very ob- noxious here, and such a conciliation would be very flattering tothe popalar heart. Its dis- plays at the convention was quite as irritating as the complexion of the assemblage. With sincere wishes for the success of your efforts at reconstraction, I am, your obedient servant, Joun T. Monroe.” The purpose of the Chronicle is evidently to convey the impression that such a “letter” was received from Mayor Monroe by the Presidents and dropped by him at Springfield, Lanois, on the Sth instant, the date at which he was there. ‘We have ascertained that no such letter was ever received by the President. In fact it isa palpable forgery on its face, and its manufac. ture and production affords another instance of the disreputable practices to which modern partizanship stoops im the way of electioneer- ing dodges. The above Monroe. letter-forgery will doubt- less travel asa first class radical electioneering card until after the elections. NO LASTING PEACE FOB EUROPE. From some unexplained cause, we have had no European news by the cable for two days past, and this is ata time when much anxiety is felt as to the final result of the nego- tiations now in progress. That a lasting peace isto result from the conferences now going on, no one believes. The bold and subtle poticy of Count Bismarck, long in maturing, and culminating so suddenly in a series of splendid victories for Prussia, has startled, and for the time, paralyzed the rivals of that nation; but the mortification to which they have been subjected will ranker, amd no doubt ultimately result in another rupture. It is oniyaquestion of time. Austria is defeated: France humiliated, and theother great powers snubbed, by a nation which they bardly here- tofore considered a rival. CONSCIENCEMMONEY—a PECULIAR OASE. The Secretary of the Treasury has received Acommunication from an anonymous corres- pondent at Goldsboro’. N.C., enclosing two hundred dollars in Confederate treasury notes, which the writer states he was by mistaxe overpuid during the last year of the rebellion, in some dealings with a rebel quartermaster. Being a Union man, he did not return the money to the rebel government, feeling that he was justifiable, under the eircumstances in retaining it. Supposing that the rebel debt might possibly be assumed by the U.S. Goy- ernment, he encloses the sum to the Treasury. OS SE MARRIAGE LICENCES.—A correspondent calls our attention to the report of the Board of Health Committee, to devise means for the registration of marriages. births, and deaths, in which they express the opinion that no Action is necessary in reference to marriages: as the number of marriage. licenses are a mat. ter of record in the Clerk’s Office. Our cor- respondent says it is a matter of notoriety amongst those who have access to the list og marriage licenses that many marriages are published in the papers, the names of the parties to which do not appear on the record, and he thinks there must be a failure to com- ply with the law on the part of some of those authorized to perform the marriage rite, ES EEE Sere al PERSONAL.—“Artemus Ward” writes for the London Punch, but his opening letter does'nt haye the old ring. Either the fogs or the local surroundings of London have done the busi- ness for Artemus, who is as heavy as lead. Surgeon General Barnes has returned to the city in restored health, and was yesterday per- forming his official duties. Deap.—We regret to annouce the death of the estimable wife of Commodore Aulick, U. S. Navy, who died at her residence in the First Ward, this morning, about half past 10 o'clock. INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts from this source to-day were $1,257,779.13. ———-+-ee.- TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Flood in Ohie. Crxcixnati, Sept. 19.—It has rained inces- santly since six o'clock lastevening.

The number of spectators present day was variously estimated trom five to eight thousand. At about sixo'clock the President, who was prevented from appearing earlier on account of the semi-weekly Cabinet meeting, came on the ground, and remained uatil the close of the game, an apparently interested spectator of the exeiting contest. Last evening, a handsome banquet was given by the Nationals to the Exceisior Club, at Wil- lards’. A. P.Gorman, Esq., president of the National, presided at the head of the table, supported by Dr Jones, president of the Ex- celsior, on his right, and Cel. Long, of the Pres- ident’s household, at pis left. After ample justice bad been done to the inviting bill of fare, President Gorman arose to make the pre- sentation of the victors’ ball to the Excelsior, which he did m exceedingly felicitous terms. He spoke of the gratification felt by the Na- tionals at welcoming the Excelsiors, both as an organization and no peeeyen In friend- ship for their brother base-bali players the Nationals could not be excelled even by the Ezcel-siors. Their friendBy contest that day had been a spirited one: and though the game had been lost by the Nationals, they felt prouder of it than of many a victory won. He said that “the air had been too pure for either a hired man or a gambler.” (This allusion, which seemed to be well understood by the base-ballers, raised a perfect tempest of ap- plause.) In concluding he said that the Na- Uonals never desired to lose a ball, but when they did they could never put it im better hands than the Excelsior Club. President Jones, of the Excelsior, who has a Saint-like head, and who beamed the most be- nign and kindly glances throngh his scholar- ly spectacles mpon the disciples of muscular christianity seated at the board, replied in a little speech of mingled poetry, fan and seuti- ment that fairly “brought down the house.” His eulogy of the great American Field Sport, pure and undefiled, was eloquent. While ac- muitting that allegiance was due first to lovely women be maintained that their next fealty was to lovely base ball. He paid a courteous tribute to what he termed the magnanimity with which the National's bad permitted the xcelsior’s to embrace victory, and i conela- sion spoke of the kindness showered upon iheir club by the National's and others here Following upon the ball presentation anum- ber of tonsts were given, capital speeches made and songs sung, and the company separated at a late bour. The following were the regular toasts, which were appropriately responded to: Opening toast: His Excellency the Proesi- deut of the United States, May he carry to a glorious consummation the work of his im. mortal predecessor. 2. The noble game of base bail. May our Mutual delight in our Athletic National Pastime continue while the Star'sendure,and until the Atlantic ceases to roar, May our proudest motto and brightestexample be ever—£xcrl- sior. 3.

The programme of to-day was commenced with a trial of skill between the National Junior Nine and a nine selected from among the members of the visiting clubs present, in which were representatives of the Atlantic Club of Jamaica, L. 1., and of the Eclectic Ciub of New York. seven of the nine being from the Excelsior Club, of which two only were juniors. the others being second nine players, eo that it might be called a game be. tween the Nationai Juniors and a picked nine of Brooklyn and New York. _ The Juniors were not out in‘their fall strength, but they nevertheless had a fine young nine present. The game opened very iavorably for Juniors, the score at the close of the second innings standing nine to three in their favor, and this had they maintained up to the close of the eighth innings, but on the ninth the Excelsior’s scored seven, and put out the boys for one run, thereby winning by the totals of 19to 17. 1t was a well-contested game tbroughout, and though the boys were defeated, they can congratulate themselves upon making such & good fight tor victory as they did against their more experienced and powerful adversaries. Of the play on the occasion on the part of the icked nine. that of Jewell merits high praise. is catching was first-class. Alliger at short field and Holt at first base also did good ser- vice in their positions, as did Patchan at third dase. -. Cummings pitched beantifally, tronb- ling the boys considerably towards the last. On the National side, West played behind,and the effective pitching of Marr was noteworthy. Excellent fly catches were made by Garner, Shedd, Donahue, Doyle, Burgesser and Marr, but West carried off the palm, putting out no Jess than 12 players by foul ball catcnes. On the other side Jewell put outs by beautifal catches and fly balls were taken in style by Booth, Cummings, Alliger and Patchen. The Umpiring was excellent, and the game was quickly played. Several ladies were among tue spectators on Ghe occasion, besides a large crowd of the visiting players. We append the score : PicKep Nive. 0. B.| NATIONAL, JR. Jewell, e.. +2 4) West, c.
