SRVERAL REMOVALS and appointments will be made in the Indian Uffice about the firs: of the month, THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC in this District nave furnisued the Commissioner of Pensions with a list of the names of furty- eight clerks, who they desire to have removed from the Pension Office. in THE Post Office Department the board of examination on the competency ot clerks, ap- Pointed on the $th instant, has been in session smce that date, and it is not likely that any changes will be made until they are prepared to report. Hon. THOMAs NELSON, Minister to Mexi: leaves Terre Hante, Indiana, to-day for post, goimg by the way of New Orleans and Havana. He will be accompanied by his fam- ily and Hon. James St. Clair, Secretary of Le- gation. Generat D. E. SickLes on Saturday re- ceivea bis commission as Mimister to Spain, He has accepted the office, and is to enter upon its dutues on the Ist of July next. He proposes to leave this country m about three weeks, so @s to reach Madrid at that time. COMMISSIONER DELAN® was again beseiged this morning by officer seekers, rendering it almost impossibie for him to transact the pub- lic business. During the morning he left his office for the White House and had a confer. ence with the President. Hon. Joun L. THomas, Collector of the Port of Balumore, and a delegation of prominent Republicans of that city, had an interview with Secretary Boutwell to-day, and subse. quently called upon the President in refer. ence to certain Treasury appointments in that city. THE SUPrLY OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY ot the Treasury being exhausted, no new frac- tional notes, or notes of the denominations of $1 and $2 will be issued in exchange for old currency until the new pilates and water- paper recently ordered by the Secretary are ready, which will be aboutthe Ist of July next.

THE WHITR HovsE.—There was quite a crowd of visitors at the Executive Mansion this morning, many of whom were admitted to see the President, among them Wm. Cornell Jewett: W. A. Cook, Esq., Corporation Attor- ney; Representative Blair, of Mich.; the Count and Countess De La Roche; Hon. ©. A. Wash. burr, Minister to Paraguay; W. 1). Farrand U.S. Consul at Callao, and others, % ADMIRAL DAVIS ANDBTAFr, Who were sum- moned some time ago to appear betore the Honse Committee on Foreign Affairsand testify in the Bliss-Masterman case, are expected to reach New York next week. Thesub-commit. tee adjourned to meet on the 10th of September, but they will meetin New York as soon as Admiral Davis arrives, in order to take his testumony and that of his staff. Decoration Day.—The Secretary of the Navy has issued the following order: daturday, the 29th instant, being the day se- lected for the annual decoration of the graves of the Union soldiers and sailors who lie buried in the environs of the a holiday, and the gs on ed tor business — A. E. Borie, Secretary of the Navy. CcpaN AFPAIRS—ADMIRAL HOFF Svus- TAINED.—The published statements that the Administration was dissatisfied with Rear Ad- miral Hoff, commanding the North Atlantic squadron, on account of bisaction towards the Spanish authorities and Cuban insurgents, are entirely without any foundation, as his course thus far has been entirely satisfactory, and Vice Admiral Porter announces that Ris action so far will be sustained by the Department. A DISPUTED AccoUNnT.—A bill contracted by Secretary Seward in telegraphing over the ca- bie to Reverdy Johnson has been presented to Secretary Fish by the agent of the Telegraph Company for payment. it consists of a single item and amounts to #40,0W). Mr. Seward, it seems, was to be allowed cheap rates on his Messages, and when this bill came in he refased to pay it. It therefore fell to the succeeding Administration, Secretary Fish declined to pay it, amd when it was presented to President Grant he sent it to Attorney General Hoar for an opinion, which he is now engaged on. A Goop Scccgstion.—The Committee of Clerks appointed by the Secretary of the Treas- ury to examine into the affairs of the printing division of that Department, and which is charged with the duty of ascertain! the most practicable means of defeating the skill and mgenuity of counterfeiters, has decided on a method of preventing the alteration of the numbers on bonds and notes. The addition of one or more figures either betore or after the original ber is @ common and easy mode of destroying the identity of the note or bond It is proposed to print on that part of the bond where the number is placed a number of bine parallel to be enclosed in brackets, and the whcle figure is to be just large enough to admit the number. Mrs. DR. Waxes, the charming bloomer, Was at the State Department for some hours thie morning waiting to get am interview with the Secretary of State. It was mot known what was her errand there, but the supposition ‘was that baving failed in getting & placeinany of the Departments, she was seeking fora post in the Diplomatic service. It will be remem. bered that a prominent Female Rights-er made & strong effort a year of two to get the claims of the women to representation in the foreiza service recognized; and thatshe was endorsed by Senator Wade for a foreign mission. The Senator afterwards, however, rather ungal. jantly backed down from being held responsi- ble for an unqualified endorsement of the ap- . He said me only endorsed her ap- plication for any foreign appointment she was “qualified to fill.” Perhaps this half-way rec- commendatien caused the failare of the appli- cation. Atany rate she did not get the mission. Mrs. Dr. Walker is pretty persevering and per- bsps she will be more successful. Wa. Grirvire, who Jost both arms while firing a salute in honor of (zeneral Grant som® time since, was to day appointed a watchman ac the Treasury Departmeni, at the request of the President, The card from the President Tecommending his appointment was as fol- lows: iam Grifih—If possible, 1 wish the Secretary of the Treasury would give the teirer 4 watchman’s place. He met with the mi:fr une from which he suffers under my eyes, and } feel a sympathy for him. Signes,) v. NT. (For the Evening Star.)

Then she re-appeared at Drury Lane, and achieved her first great tri- ups. All after was glory and success. ‘ben im London, some fit ears since, I s:tw, at the house of Mr. Charles Kemble, a flee portrait of Mrs, Siddons, taken, 1 think, in her thirtietb year. This is the picture of a more slight ard delicate woman than appears in the stately portraits of Sir Josaua Reynolds and Sir Thomas Lawrence; but Mr. Kemble as- sured me thatit wasan admirable likeness. To this picture Mrs. Scott Siddons bears a re- markable resemblance. To any one who has seen this picture, or much ef the Kemble fam- ily, there were scarcely need of other proofs of direct and near relationship. Mrs Scott Siddo.

As anactress, this latest child of an illustrious line, bas evident scarcely approached her prime. She is yet but a beautiful promise of what she may be with careful study and patient practice. The mantle of her great- grandmother ts too large for her as yet. It will Siways be too heavy for her. It rather en- cumoers than adorns her. The strange re- sembiance in feature te one only now remem- bered in the fullness of her power and majestic beauty, makes us perhaps, too exacting, and takes somewhat from the young Artist's own fredom and ease. But there is much, aside from her rare, spirited, Kemble beauty, im Mrs. Scott Siddons to interest and please. ben she is most simple and natural, and least Kemble- most charming. Grace GREENWwoop.
