Gonos Pzapopy passed through Washing- ton last night, en route for Baltimore. GERL. SHERMAN and Vice Admiral Porter are expected to retarn here on Saturday. SECRETARY RAWLINS is rapidly recover- ing trom his recent indisposition, and was a:- tending to his duties in the War Department to-day as usnal. ‘THE CoMMIssionsER of the General Land Uf- fice has declined to receive any proposition for the purchase of the rocking island known, “Grand Tower,” in the Mississippi river, nea Island No. 17. Mx. Luxus, the Cuban Agent to this coun- ‘ry, denies the statement that the Spanish Gov ernment has rejected the proposition laid be- fore it by Minister Sickles for the settlement of the Cuban question. INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts to-day from this source were $125,751.44, making the total amount for the month ending to-day $15,015,446,51, and the total since the beginning of the present fiscal year. $36,602,453.16. SECRETARY ROpxson retarned to this city Jast evening, and was at the Navy Department to-day. He will probably remain here during this week, and return to the North early in the coming week. Tux U.S. StRawzr PowHavas, late flag- ship ot Rear Admiral Turner, commanding the Pacific fleet, is daily expected at New York, Admiral Turner having transferred his pen- pant to the Pensacola some time since, NAVAL ORDERS.—Master R. Mason Lisle has been ordered to duty at the Philadelphis navy-yard. Ensign Charies P. Welch has been ordered to duty at the Boston ‘yard. WHISKBY IN BOND.—A statement of the amount of whiskey now held in bond through- out the United States has been prepared at the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and it is estima. ted that 18,247,000 gallons of the article are now stored in bonded warehouses. THE CommissionER or PaNsions has bad a tabular statement prepounded showing the average amount of work done by each clerk in his office, and several of ther were yesterday notified that their exhibit was not satistactory And thatspeedy improvement in that particu Jar was expected. THB CoMMISSIONER OF PATENTS bas in- formed theexaiminers that two days’ leave of absence will be given to such of them as desired to attend the fair of the American Institute, in New York, which commences on the <th of September and continues until the 3,th of Oc- tober. Tae ONIO STATE AssoctaTION has made arrangements by which citizens of Ohio, In- diana and Illinois can be furnished with Nekets over the Central Pennsylvania route to the principal poiats im Onio, Indianapolis and Chicago, at a redaction of fare, for the purpose of going home to yote at the coming elections. DR. Sir0Ns, an American, who was impris- cned by the Spanish authorities in Gaba for over seven months, and who has had all his property destroyed, arrived here on Sunday, direct from Havana, having been released tbrouga the efforts of our Uonsul General at Havana. He proposes to bring his case to the attention of the Government, and ask for some redress. GREAT INCREASE OF THE WHISKEY Tax.— From & tabular statement prepared at the In- ternal Revenue office, it appears that the quantity of whiskey upon which tax was paid during the fiscal year ending June 3v, 1868, was 6,709,546 gallons, while for the year ending June 30, 1869, it was 61,351,6¥0 gallons, ‘with thirty-seven districts yet to be heara from. This is indubitable evidence that the law is more faithtully executed now than it has been heretotore. No ApMITTANCcB.—Commissioner Van Aer- nam, of the Pension Burean, has caused the following notice to be posted about his office, and the rule is to be strictly emforced:—“All inquiries in relation to the condition of claims Pending in this office must be made through the post office.” Another notice is posted de- nying persons not connected with the Dapart- ment admittance to the rooms of the clerks. In case of important business with the clerks, interviews can be had im the Chief Clerk’s room. Coton “Mac,” of the Cincinnati Enquirer, feeling very sore and insulted over an insinuation thrown out mm the Commercial that he was not only an Orangeman, but destitute of fighting ‘qualities, Halstead makes the amende honoralle, as regards bis courage, as follows ‘We do not wish to be understood to charge that the minute, but monstrous, Urargeman of the Cin- cinnati Enquirer is a coward. Thongh petite, be is pugnacious; though tiny, he is terrible. He is spunky as a rat. If one should step on him, accidentally, or otherwise, he would, we bave no doubt, bite through « double-soled boot.” Tue CURRENCY QUESTION.—Ninety seven thourand and fiye hundred dollars in frac- tional curremcy was received at the Treasury York. Of this amount $30,000 was in ten cent notes, $11,250 in fifteen cent notes, $18,750 in twenty-fives and $37,500 in fifties. It will be remembered that the Bank Note Companies a few days since re. ceived orders from the Treasury Department to forward daily $187,000 in fractional currency #0 great is the demand for it upon the depart- ment from all parts of the country. Tas PoLiticat Sirvarion 1 Taxa8—Gen- eral Clarke, of Texas, now here says the com- plexion of the political parties in that State are ‘de expected between these cluds thi ae The Nationals will be reinforced hy Geo. Fox, who has not played on & match game before this season. Fox is “heavy’, at the bat and In centre field.

Every member is expected to be present, as appropriate remarks ‘will be made upon the death of two esteemed members—Randolph Coyle and Donald Mac- Leod. THE Saninz Cananv.—Nothing has ye: been received atthe Navy Department from Oommander Walker. of the frigate Sabine. Telatiye to the reported mutiny on boara of that vessel. The officials at the Navy Depar:- ment express the belief that the report was canard, as Commander Walker would have telegraphed to the Department immediately it such mutiny had occurred. [A cable dispatch in another column contradicts the story.] APPOINTMENTS.—The President to-day made the following appointments: Crowley P. Drake to be Assessor of Internal Revenue for the 5th district of Michigan. R_ J. Chestnutwood to be Collector of Inter- nal Revenue tor the 9th district of Indiana. George H.

(Quite @ large number of office-seekers and visitors were im attendance shortly after. mime o'clock, and between that and eleven o’clock several were received by the President in the library, where he transacts all busines:; the repairs in the Executive office not yet being completed. Acting Secretary Richardson and Commiesioner Delano had a lengthy interview with him, abouteleven o'clock, relative to va- rious Internal Revenue appointments and other matters requiring the President’s attention. At noon the Cabinet convened, there being present Secretaries Fish, Rawlins, Robeson and Cox, Postmaster General Cresswell, As- sistant Secretary Richardson, and Assistant Attorney General Fied. The Cabinet was still in session at three o’clocs, but it is under- stood that no business of national importance was under consideration, the session being en- tirely for the purpose of arranging various routine matters connected with the several de. partments. The President will receive vis- itors to-morrow, and will leave on the evening train, with Secretary Fish, for Saratoga, to rejoin his family. Tue Prorosivions YOR SETTLING THe Curan DiFFicuLtY.—“Da ta” says:—It is well understood that the propositions sooking to a settlement of the Gaban difficulty, which were prese to the government at Madrid through Mr. Paul S. Forbes, were rejected by tbe Spanish authorities. ‘The exact mature of the plan which Mr. Forbes was empowered to suggest to the regency bas been misstated in ai least one important particular. The United States did not undertake to guarantee the pay- ment of the sum in consideration of which the Spaniards were to relinquish to the Cubans the sovereignty of their island, bat offered to act as trustee of 4 fund for that purpose, to be raised by setting apart a portion of the customs rev- enue of the island. The correcpondence on the subject was communicated by the Spauish to the French Government, as is customary in the Spemee, of some European nations, in cases when friendly reiations and some ee of similarity of interests exist. Whether French infinencé had avy part in the described rejeo- tion of the overtures of the United States ts not known. Mr. Forbes is now on his way to this country, but it is thought in some quarters that ing will again return to Spain on asimilar errand. THE INTERNATIONAL Boat Race—Harvaris Not So Badly Beaten After All—It 1s clear now that, in the recent international boat race on the mver Thames, the Americans were not beaten 89 badly by their orpoarsis, the Oxford crew, as at first reported. The later cable dis. patch, published terday, stated that the judge bad dec! the Harvards at the end of the race were only half a length clear ‘water in the rear oftheir nents, indicating that they lost the race by al wre N ve goer a-halt. Now the special correspondent of the a ‘York Tribune confirms statement, and says: “The defeat of the Harvarde in the interna. tional bost race was less than reported. reckoned on the press boat it appeared four lengths, and I so telegrap! judge at Mortlake, Sir Aubrey Paul, person- ally informs me that the actual difference at the finish was y nograph, registering independent fifths of sec. ones. Pthis is nearly 21 seconds less than the time given by the London reporters; but I took at myself, and am confident it 1s accurate.” THE TROUBLES AT THE PSNNSYLVANIA Coal Mings—Volunicers Enrolling.—Between 1,000 and 1,500 meu from the coal fields north and south of Scranton, Pa., arrived there yes. terday by rail and wagons. Their avowed purpose was to prevent the coal miners of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western Rail- road Company trom continuing to work.
