New Yous, July 15—The repabiican na- tional executive committee held a mee’ os terday afternoon, which was executive character and tor the most part secret. Measures were discussed for forwarding the canvass in Penusylvavia, Indiana, North Car- olina, aud West Virginia. erator Abbott made a cheering report o! the canvass in North Carolina. Col. Exrett, chairman of the central state commitiee, appeared from Pennsylvania, in the place of W. H. Kimball. § A suggestion from W: ered, looking tothe ut opposed to democratic liberals of that state. Phe details of the campaign wili be organized in a few days at headqy A secret session of the executive council of the union league, also held in the atternoon, resoived to co-operate with the national com: mittee. neet{with the new avenue running south of the > mansion, and extending around th i wrtion of the monument, thence in n easterly direction to Mth street, and opening on that street immediately opposite the main avenue through the Agricultural groun Trees and shrubbery are to be planted in tt fall and spring, and the grounds leveled Should the appropriation hold out, gravel side- walks will be laid, and next year it is expected that another apprepriation will be made to make another drive similar to the one now being con- structed. IN ARMORY SQUARE the work of making a drive and footwalke wil f00n be commenced, $10,000 having been appro- priated for that square. The drive through the Monument pen, above described, connects with that through ‘the Agricultural’ grounds, then through the Smithsonian grounds; and when the Armory-square drive shall be com pleted there will be # continuous avenue from the Executive mansion to the Botanical garden. The appropriation now is sufficient to construct one drive only through each park, but it is ex- pected that more money will be devoted to the further improvement of these grounds at the next session, and another drive through the grounds above mentioned from the Botanica! garden to the President's house will be con- structed. ° New York News.

STEAMSHIP AGROUND. The steamship Ciyde, from Galveston, went ashore in the fog this morning at Fort Hamilton, and remains high and dry. BIDS FOR GOVERNMENT GOLD.

Sapatoca, July 18—The first race, harile race, two miles, was won by Lochie!, beating Astronomer four lengths, Tammany third, Lo belia fourth, both close up. Time: 4 minutes », seconds. The betting was four to three o: Lochiei against the field. THE SECOND RACE was a selling race, purse $204), fur two year olds, three quartors of a m: Luna won easily, wit) eer third. Calvert wa: beaten off. Time: . Luna was the favorite at four to three against Bouncer and five to three against the rest MILITARY ViEws OF THE INDIAN QUESTION General Sheridan writes a spicy letter con. demning the present system of dealing with the Indians, and concludes as follows: “If a white man in this country commits a murder we hang him; if he steals a horse we put him in the pen- itentiary. If any Indian commits these crimes we give him better fare and more blankets. I think I may, with reason, say that under this policy the civilization of the wild red man will progress slowly.” It is General Augur’s opinion that the tribes in Texas need to be whipped into peacefulness. Diplomatic Pgrsonats.—The diplomatic corps are now pretty much scattered, the Span- ish and Prussian representatives and Sir Ed- ward Thornton being the only Ministers in town. The Honorabie F. J. Pakenham, First Secretary of the British Legation, has obtained leave of absenge and wil! sail for Europe short- ly. Hon. P. H. Le Poer Trench, second secre- tary, has returned from ‘Laurel Hill,” New- buryport, Mass., where Lady Thornton has been pending the summer with her children. This is thesame pleasant situation near Newburyport, occupied by ard ‘Thornton's tamily in the summers of 1569-70. Captain Cameron, R. -, the British commissioner for surveying’ the northwest boundary in conjunction with our commissioner, sailed out by the Parthia and is expected here the first of next week. INDIAN Orrosition To THE NORTHERN Pa- civic RaILRoaD.—Commissioner Walker, of the Indian Bureau, is in receipt of areport from Wm. H. Forbes, United States Indian agent, dated St. Paul, Minn., July 10th, of which the following is an extract: ‘1 apprehend no diffi- culty or direct opposition from the Indians on our reservations, Lac Traverse and Devil's Lake. Stitl lam satistied that the wandering hordes will gather and will prog 7 to prohibit therailroad from crossing the Missouri river, and a large military force should be kept con. stantly on the lookout. My estimate for what would appear to be a large amount of provisions for the use of the agency for this year is with a hope of drawing many of these hostile Indians to « peaceful lite on the reservations, where the first season they must be supplied with food, and until they can learn to raise a one. for themselves. An Indian, like a wolf, when hun- gry is ferocious, and now that the railroad is to pass daily through the last of the “range” of the buffalo, the dread of starvation has made them reckless. If they once could be made to understand that they would be taken care of until they bad learned to work for themselves, many among the hostile could yet be re- claimed.” ed. INTERESTING FIGURES OF THE NEw CEn- svs.—A table showing the area of the states and territories of the United States, and the number of families and dwellings, giving the totals by states has just been prepared at the Census Office. The total area of the United States and territories is given as 3,603,844 square miles, and of the states 1,984,467. The number of per- sons to the square mile is 1070-100; for the states — 19 21-100, Bo sy roi ad bear le count: 7,5 bs Persons to eacl Rani 59-100. In 1860 it was 5 28-100, and in 1850, 5 56-100. The number of dwellings for the wi country is 7,042, a to LINCOLN PARK, east of the Capitol, recently enclosed and lev eled, will be properly tile drained and suitabl gravel walks constructed, £5,000 having been appropriated for this park. CONNECTICUT AVENUE AND P-STREET CIRCLE is also to be improved immediately by the intro duction of water and gas therein, erection o lamp posts, &c.
