Tae Preiic Dept StaTEMENT.—The Angns: statement of the public debt will not be issued until Friday. The firstof July having been the close of the fiscal year, no statement was then fesned, and the comparison therefore will be with the June statement. The decrease ia the gold balance will not be as considerable as has been generally expected outside the De- partment, owing to there being two months’ Teceipts from customs to offset the July inter- est, and also to the tact that the Alaska pur- ebase money w'll not be accounted for until the next exhib.t. How. TRADDETS STEVENS is somewhat be’- ter to-day, and may be ready in a tew days to travel. The reason which yesterday prompt- ed the telegram to Dr. Carpenter, of Lancaster Ps., bis physician, was not Mr. Stevens’ worse condition; but, hearing that that gentleman was im Baltimore, aud could reach bere without much troubl, the dispatch was sent, so as to obtam an interview with his friend.

COLLECTOR FOR ALASKA.—There are several applicants for the position of Collector of the Port of Alaska, who are strongly urging their appointment, but the President declines to take any action before the return of Attorney Gen- eral Evarts, when the opinion of that officer ‘will be asked as to the power of the President to make the appointment durtng the recess of the Senate. Tre Alaska distmct was created by the last Congress, and the President failed to make any nommmation for the office of Uol- lector prior to the adjournment, hence there is some doubt as to his power to make the ap- pointment under the tenure of office bill. The cuties of the office of Collector are now being discharged by Special Agent Dodge, of the Treasury Department. Mags.

MERRICK REPLizs To Gey. BuTLER’s CARD.—A communication from Hon. R. T. Mernck has appeared in reference to the card of Gen. Butler, in which he stated with regard to the suits of Charles W. Wovlley aud Kimberly Brothers, brought against him in Baltimore city, as follows: “Both suits were brought by nb Surratt’s attorney.” Mr. Merrick says “This statement is untrue. I was counsel ior Surratt,and am also counsel in the case of Charles W. Woolley, but nove of the attorneys of Surratt are in any way con- cerued in the suit of the Kimberly Brothers; and Mr. Butler ig sufficiently wel in regaed to both cases to have known the fact, and doubtless did know it.” Mr. Merrick goes om to assert that while the Surratt case was be. ing prepared for trial Mr. Bradley had an in- terview with the sister of Joun H Surratt, in which she stated to him that a proposition to Sssist in the trial bad been submitted to her by Mr. Butler, through a mutual friend—a gentie- man well known in Washington city—and that when the proposition was referred to him (Mr. Merrick) he said that if compelled to give an answer, there was butone they could give: that ifthe friends of Surratt and the family were willing to acquiesce in Mr. Butler's desire to try the case, he (Mr. M.) would gladly retire from it in his favor, but that he could not con- sent to the personal and professional degrada- tion of being associated with such aman. Mr. Merrick adds: “Mr. Bradley agreed that the manner indicated was the only manner in which either of us could with proper self-re- spect treat hag ng sere ‘wrote Miss Surratt accordingly. The family of the accused and his immediate friends, acting tn his behalf, refused to allow either M.. Bradley or myself to with- draw, and Mr. Butler did not participate in the trial. I canmot perceive what connection there 1s between the case of the United States against Jobn H. Surratt and the cases of Charles W. Woolley and Kimberly Brothers against Ben. jamin F. Butler. which can justify a reference to the former im a card relating exclusively to the latter. But it Mr. Butler supposes that the counsel of Surratt declined being associated with him, professionally, because of any Per- sonal iJ]-will, and are pursuing him with lits- gation to gratify any y, he is entirely mistaken. We declined the associa- tion because we felt constrained to do so from & proper regard for the homior of the profession and our own self-respect.” INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. The International Commercial Comvention met in Portland, Me., yesterday. Delegates were present trom all parts of the Uuited States and Canada. Johu Neal was chosen temporary cbairman. The committee on credentials re- ported two hundred ana five delegates already arrived, and many more expected. They rec- ommend the Hon. Samuel Morrill, Governor ot lowa, for president, with a long list of vice presidents and secretaries from jous parts ot the country. A committee was appointed to meet Governor Morrill, who red, and a-sumed the chair with some brief remarks. The committee om the order of business re- perted the ee subjects for considera- tion: First. The rail Across the continent. Second. Lake, river, and canal navigation. Third. International commercial relations. Hon. James W. Taylor, of St. Paul, Min- Besola, addressed the convention on railroad and sbup canal interests of the West. He said the road to the sea without transhipment is what the West wants, and when ship canal shall open the St. Lawrence wo every ion of the great railroad waters, then the proud city of New York will be compelled to afford we same privilege with her canal. In conclusion, he alluded to the ¢reat fature trans-coutinen- tal railway terminating at Paget’s Sound.

HE ENDORSES THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFO! le HE CRITICISES THE ACTION OF CON- GRESs. New Yor, August 5.—Governor Seymour has written a letter fermally accepting the nomination of the Democratic Convention. He says the{nomination was unsought for and un expected, but he was caught up by the over- ‘helming tide which is bearing the country on © & great political change, and finds himself unable to resist its pressure. The resolutions adopted by the Convention, he says, are in ac- cordance with his views. He delayed a formal acceptance until the adjournment of Congress for the purpose of seeing what light the action of Congress would throw upon the interests of the country. Tue Congressional party bas not only allied itself with the military power, which is to be brought to bear begeoory di mg the elections in many ofthe States,but holds itseif in perpetual session, with the avowed [ Spies of making such laws as it shall see fit in view of the elec- tian soon to take place. Never before has Uon- gress taken a menacing attitude towards elec- tots. Under the influence of . some = the States are proposing to deprive the peop! of the right to vote for Presidential electors, and beret’ § the first bold step has been taken to destroy the nghts of suffrage. The great interests of the Union demand order. and a return to industrial par- suits, The minds of business men are per- plexed by uncertainties. The hours of toil of our laborers are lengthened by the cost of living made so great by the exactions of the Government. Our people are harrassed by the henvy and frequent demands of the tax gatherer. Men have been admitted as repre- sentattves of some ot the Southern States with declarations upon their lips that they cannot live in the States they claim to represent with- out military protection, These men owe their seats in Congress to the Present digorder at the South, and every Igtive springing from a love of power or gain, und a desire for vengeance, prompts them to keep the South in a state of anarcuy. In vain bave the wisest members of the party protested against the policy which leads to this result. The chiefs of the late rebellion have submitted to the result of the late war, and they are now quietly engaged in the usefui pursuits of life, while those who clamorously inheat that they are fhe ouly tries ot the ‘pion are striving to keep alive passions to,which they owe their elevation. ‘There is hardiy an able man who helped to build up the Republican organization who has not, within the past three years, warned it Agninst its excesses, while many have been driven from its ranks. The election of a Dem- ocratic Executive and amajority of Democratic members to House of Representatives, ‘would not give to that party organization the power to make any sudden or violent change: Durit would rerveto check thoce extreme mes ures which have been deplored by the best men of both parties. The result would most cer- tainly lead to a peacefal restoration of the Union, Personaliy, there are no attractions im the Presidential office for him, ‘The energy of the Democratic party springs from a devotion to its canse, and not to its can- di@ates. Never in the political history of our comntry has the action ot any like body been received with such universal and wide-spreid enthusiasm as that which is shown in relation to the positions taken by the Democratic Con- venuon. With these the candidates had nothing todo. The Democracy were strengthened by the co-operation of the great bedy of those who served the Union army and navy during the war. He had given nearly 16.000 commissions to officers of thatarmy, and he knew their views and wishes. ae demand the Union for which they fo irgest meeting of these gallant officers ever held had endorsed the action of the Democratic Convention. ‘When there is such accord between those who Toved themselves brave and self-sacreficing Tolwrss and those who weve thoughtful and pa- triotic in council, he could not doubt that they would gain a political triumph which will re- store the Union, bring back peace and prosper- 19% our land, and give us once more the blessings of a wise, economical, and honest Government. A SINGULAR PRESIDENTIAL MOVE- [Special Dispatch to the Star.] Cuicaco, August 5.—An amusing Presiden- tion movement occurred here to-day. A call Was issued inviting the people without regard to Bex or party to assemble together in anity and counsel at Crosby's Opera House for the purpose of putting in nominations candidates tor President and Vice President. “Let all” it said,“who are in favor of this great and glorious co-operative movement for homes for their families attend.” At ten o'clock, thehour for meeting, no one appeared at the Opera Hause, and st ts said the Convention is be post- poned until Miss Susan B. Anthony arrives. NEW YORK DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL. {Special Dispatch to the Star.) New York, August 5.—A conference of lead- ing Democratic politicians was held at the Metropolitan Hotel this morning on the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor. It was agreed that the contest was narrowed to Mayor Hoff- man, State Senator Henry ©. Murphy, of Brooklyn, and ex-Congresesman Frank Ker- nab, of Oneida county. Inasmuch as Governor Seymour was from Utica, it was conceded that the latter must withdraw. Tammany Hall, it was evident, preferred Mayor Hoffman to Murphy, and it is believed that the former will be nominated for Governor. FROM EUROPE TO-DAY.

Deceased, the physician remarked, was a man of very nervous temperament, and had been in the babit of waking small doses of chloroform to restore quietude after the excite- ment into which he used to be thrown by mea- tal and li labors. Coroner Flynn did not deem the statement of the witness sufficient, and ordered that an Autopey or such other testimony as would be enti satisfactory should be taken. Dr. Swann, the physician who resides in the Astor House, and was called to attend General Halpine medically, makes the following ‘state— ment:—I understood that Gen alpine came to the Astor House on Sata: aba noon, having missed the Loag Branch i, as I have understood, and secered room No. 130, very night on Saturday night, and was much disturbed.

I gave him a prescription for one drachm of chloroform and half an ouuce of aleohol. This quantity did not suit the General, and between six and seven o’clock on the same evening General Haipine sent for a pint of chloroform, to Hudnut’s drag store, which was given him. 1 was sent for to attend the deceased between eight and nine o'clock on Sunday evening, and ing to room 130, found General Halpine in the bed insensible. 1 then endeavored to resuscitate him, and succeeded partially in doing so, He was struggling a great deal when I found him, and his face was almost livid, with a hee’ 4 weak pulse. He was in a state of collapse; he was cold, and his breathing was short and stentorious, and his outward appearance betokening great interior excite- ment. He had inhaled so much chloroform that his resuscitation was but partial, and he died a little after 12 o'clock midnight’ ot Sark day. He never spoke during that time, and did not recognize anyone. There were in his room four yials labelled chloroform, with Hudnut's ame upon tbe labels, besides ‘the pint bottle, which bad ne label and contained from a quarter to a third of the original quantity, the bottle having contained a pound, or pint, of chloroform. ‘The other vials were empty, and had originally 10 them from one to three ounces each of chloroform. In the army half an ounce to &n ounce of chloroform is deemed sufficient to inhale while taking off a 1eg or arm. More than that will produce death if inhaled from a towel. Gen. Halpine had inhaled the drug from towele which he had satarated and ap- Plied to his nostrils evidently. I could not tell ‘what state Gen. Halpine was in when he ap- lied the drug. It was possible that he was jaboring trom extreme nervous and mental ex- citement at the time, and he probably applied the chloroform to allay the pain and neryous- ness. THE Cuamrionsuir Matca—McCoole Heard Frm—He Wants (o Fight—Tne New York Clip- per of this week publishes a letter from Mike McUoole, the pugilist, dated St. Louis, July Siet. in which the writer says : ~In reply to an article that appeared in the Clipper tn ‘the first part of this month, to the etlect that Mr. Coburn wished the money staked ty him and myself to res: in your hands until Jairly decided by a fight, 1 wil state that I have ‘always been ready to fight him.

Merrit, w he believes not insane, but had kept her there because the usual formalities of Jaw tor her admission had been gone throagh. The Mrs. Merrit in question was the widow of the late William Morton. On the éth of July last she thought it best to change her condition, and thencetorward her troubles seems to have commenced. She got married to Col... D, Merrit, a young gentleman ot 9 or ‘25 years of age, rather low im stature, and good looking. Five dsys following she left her house, at the request of her brother, Edward Livingstone Price, who had her conveyed ina carringe to the county poor house, Bok rprdene cn a Se where a jury was ne! un commission. ‘Without friends to defend her, or notice «iven to her husband, she was declared insane, and was next transferred to the Trenton Luna- tic Asylum, where she was discovered by her husband, who had learned of her detention there from a friend. When the matter came before Judge Bedie, at the Hudson count court-house yesterday, Mr. Gilchrist, on behaif of her relatives, her discharge for the present, on the ground that a new trial was to be had, at which the husband Was expected to be present. Senator Winfield and Mr. Scudder, cn the part of the lady, op- posed this delay, on the ground that it was arrowing to her feelings to be thus kept in confinement, and read a letter trom a Mr. Shitfen, a friend to Mrs. Merrit, which stated that she was undoubtedly of sound mind. On the other side there were two affidavits read, one from Mrs. Merrit’s mother, and the other from Mr. Zabriskie, the family physician, stating that the woman had been for some time insane; and it was argued that none could tell so well as those two the state of the lady's mind. Counsel for the applicant pointed out an irregularity in the imgs before the Chancellor, apd on this ground the Judge charged that the lady’s committal was not Tegular, and she should be dischargea. The matter thus rests for the present, but the ques- tion of sanity will be again tried by a jury.— New York Sun. Dry Goods. Cottons haye been weak, and a disposition to fall bas been marked, but without any im- (apo changes. The price of the raw material wus been lower, and lurge holders of sheetings have been inclined to favor the purchaser. But the absence of activity bas been the general Tule, and this will probably continue until the middle of August, unless a semi-panic among large holders should bring in a rush of buyers who have bees patiently waiting for a fall of prices. It only requires a Kittie firmness to preserve the tone of the market until the active season sets in, when prices will take care of themsel vee.
