DEATH OF JOHN Ports, Esq., Carer Clerk ov THE Wan DEPARTMENT.—We are pained to announce the death, in the 55th year of his age, of Jokn Potts, Esq., for many years past the well known and esteemed chief clerk of the War Department, which occurred this morning at half-past two o'clock, at his resi- dence, on 17th street, between H and L streets, atter a brief but severe illness. No man stood higher in the estimation of the community than Mr. Potts, and he always enjoyed the contidence of all associated with him. As a public officer he was ever efficient and faithful in the dis- charge of his duties, and probably disbursed a larger sum of money than any other disbursing officer of the government. He was a native of this District, and occupied the position of chief clerk of the War Department for the past thir- teen years, having been emp!oped in the Depart- ment for the past thirty-six years. He was a member of the ay pene (P.E.) Church, and also of the vestry thereof, at the time of his death. The late Secretary Stanton ore esteemed Mr. Potts very highly, and frequently spoke of him as a man who could not be cor- rupted. The disease fromwhich he died was local dropsy and general derangement of intes- tinal organs. ‘The tuneral will take place to-morrow after- noon at 5 o'clock, and the following named entiemen will act as pall bearers jecretary fetcnap, Surgeon General Barnes, Assistant Surgeon General Crane, General Park, General Shriver, Adjutant General Townsend, R. 8S.

GRANT WILL BE RE-ELECTED, AS HE HAS BREN A FRIEND TO THE INDIANS. ‘This morning, between ten andeleven o'clock, Spotted Tail and the Indian delegation ac- companying him, had an interview with the President at the Executive Mansion by appoint- ment. There were present Indian Commissioner Walker, Indian Agent Kisley, Mr. Welch, of Philadelphia, and others. Atter the usual hand- shaking, the Indians arranged themse!ves on the east side of the President's office, while the President and Spotted Tail, together with the interpreter, occupied an open window on the south. The conversation was opened by Spotted Tail, who said, through the interpreter, that he somewhat tired now, but would have something to say to the President to-morrow. The President replied that he would not be in town to-morrow, but that Spotted Tail could communicate with the Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who acted by his authority. The President said he under- stood that Spotted Tail wanted to talk about the change of the location of the agency. He would not force this change, but thought it would be better for the Indians themselves, as $00,000 would thus be saved in transportation und the money expended tor the 7 Indians. Spotted Tail replied: men whom you see around you are and as I cannot give you an answer counsel with them to-day as to whatit is best for vs todo.” The President again informed them that they could make the result of their confer- ence known to the Commissioner of Indian At. faire. Indian Agent Risley said to the President, “ Since 1 bave been among these Indians I have found them not only peaceable, but having a disposition to preserve friendship with the whites,” and also said that Spotted Tail had always counselled peace and insisted that the orders of the government must be obeyed, Spottea Tail said he had a few words to say to the President, ‘1 understand that there is to be anew election for President in a few months. I hope you will be successful as you have always been very kind to us Indians. The President replied, ‘* Whatever may be the re- sult I hope there will be no change in the Indian policy of the government.” ‘The interview here ended, and, after again shakiug hands, the Indians departed. THE PLOT TO BURN NorTHERN Cittes.—The letter of Jacob Thompson to J. P. Benjamin, secretary of state of the southern confederacy, fornd among the confederate archives which have recently been sold to this government, shows that Thompson was the regularly author- ized agent of the contederacy, both for the pur- = of procuring the burning of New York. Philadetphia, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and ror organizing a counter revolution at the north For these purposes Thompson and his associates, Oley, Holeombe and Saunders, were supplied with one million dollars in gold, and in further- ance of their schemes they were in communica- tion with residents at the north, and met some of thi personally at Niagara. The St. Albars raid and the attempt to free the confederate pr'soners at Johnson's island were come of the results. It issaid this letter possesses the great- est public interest of all the documents which hbaye thus far been examined. It is very long, and details with minuteness the proceedings of Thompson and his associates. The papers are ail in the custody of the Treasury department. THE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR Scurez.— The charge made by Senator Schurz, in his St. Louis speech, to the effect that he had been offered official patronage by President Grant or his friends, to vete against his convictionsof duty in regard to the annexation of San Domingo, has been brought to the attention of the Pres- ident, who pronounces the whole statement, as far as it attempts to reflect on him, as absolutely unfounded in fact. In no way was any one ever authorized to tender to Mr. Schurz or any other Senator the control or use of any patronage for his approval of the San Domingo annexation policy or any other measure of this administra- tion. ‘The President expresses his earnest desire that Mr. Schurz will at once publish the letter he claims to have relative to this pretended proiier, in order that if any one bas so imposed upon the Senator it may lead to a full expose ot the dishonest motives and character of such person. Will the Senator produce his proof or retract bis charge ?

H. G's Letter of Acceptance, No. 2 The following is Mr. Greeley’s letter, accept- ing the Baltimore nomination, in reply to the letter of the committee appointed to notify him thereof: New Yorks, July 18, 187 GENTLEMEN: Upon mature deliberation seems Ht that I should give to your letter of t 10th instant some further and fuller response than the hasty unpremeditated words in which T acknowledged and accepted your nomination atour meeting on the 12th instant. That your convention saw tit to accord its highest honor to one who had been prominently nd pointedly opposed to your party in the earn est and ontroversies of the la-t tort noteworthy. That many of you liberal repabittans should pre: it another Candidate for President, and would more rapidly have united with us in the support of Adams or Trumbull, Davis or Brown, is well known. I owemy adoption at Baltimore wholly to the fact that I bad already been nominated at Cimcinnati, and that a concentration of forces om any new man had been proved impracti- cable. Gratified as Iam at your concurrence in the Cincinnati nomination, and certain as | am that you would not have thu: urred had you not deemed me upright and capable, I found nothing in the circumstance calculated to inflame vanity ornourish seli-conceit. But that your couventio: saw fit to reaffirm the Cincinnati platform is t a source of the profoundest satisfaction. ‘That body was constrained to take this step by no party hecessity, real or supposed. It might have accepted the candidates of the liberal Te- publicans upon grounds entirely its own, or it might have presented them as the first whig convention did Harrison and Tyler, without adopting any platform whate ‘That it chose to plant itselt deliberately, by @ vote nearly unanimous, u he fullest and clearest enunciation of principles which are at once incontestibly republican and emphatically democratic, gives trustworthy assurance that a new and more auspicious era is dawning upon our long distracted country. Some of the best years and best efforts of niy lite were devoted to & struggle against chattel slavery, none the less earnest and respect for constitutional objections const me to act for the most part on the defensive in resistance to the diffusion, rather than in direct efforts for the extinction, ot human bondage. Throughout most of these vears my vision was uncheered, my exertions were rarely animated by even so much as a hope that J should live to s€e my country peopled by freemen alone. The affirmance by your convention of the Cincinnati platform is a most conclusive proof that not merely is slavery abolished, but that its spirit is extinct; that despite the protests of a respect- able, but isolated, few, there remains among us no party and no formidable interest which re- grets thie overthrow or desires the re-establish- ment of human bondage, whether in letter or in spirit. I am thereby justitied in my hope, and trust that the first century ot American Independence will not close before the grand elemental truths on which its rightfulness was based by Jefferson and the Continental Con- ress of ‘76 will no longer be regarded as glitter- ing generalities, but will have become the uni- versally accepted and honored foundations of our political fabric. I demand the prompt ap- ae of these principles to ourexisting con- ition. Having done what I could for the complete emancipation of the blacks, I now insist on the full enfranchisement of all’ my white country- men. Let none say that the ban has just been removed from all but a few hundred elderly gentlemen to whom eligibility to office can be of littie consequence. My view contemplates not the hundreds proscribed, but the millions who are denied the right to be ruled and repre- sented by men of their own unfettered choice. Proscriptions were absurd if these did not wish to elect the very men whom they are forbidden to choose. Ihave a profound regard for the people of that part of New England wherein I was born, in whose common schools I was taught. I rank no people above them in intelligence, capacity, and moral worth; but while they do many things well, and some admirably, there is one thing they cannot safely or wisely undertake, and that Is the selection for states remote from and unlike their own, of the persons by whom these states shall pe represented in Congress. If they couid do this to good purpose, then repub- lican institutions are unfit and aristocracy the only true political system. Yet, what have we recently witnesse Z. B.

I protest against the disfranchisement of a state, pre- sumptively of a number of states, on ground £9 pariow and techr'cal as this. The fact that the same Senate which refused his seat proceeded to remove his disabilities after that seat had been filled by another, only serves to place in a stronger light the indignity to Nort Carolin and the arbitrary, capicious tyranny which dic. tated it. 1 thank you, gentlemen, that my name is to be conspiciously associated with yours in a det con universal in spirit as well as in lette feat in such a case would leave no sti triumph would rank with those victories’ which no blood reddens, and which evoke no tears but those of gratitude and joy. Gentlemen, your platform, which isalso mine, assures me that democracy is not henceforth to stand for one thing and republicanism for another; but these terms are to mean in politi as they have always meant in the dictionary substantially one and the same thing, namely, equal rights, regardiess of creed or clime or color. hail this as a genuine new departure from outworn feuds end meaningless conten- tions in the direction of progress and reform. Whether I shall be found worthy to bear the standard of the great liberal movement which the American people have inaugurated is to be determined, not by words, but deeds—with me, if I steadily advance; over me it I falte: grand array moveson to achieve for our coun- try her glorious beneficent destiny.

The duties on tea, cofiee, and many other articles of necessity for consump- tion ‘and manuiacturing were removed by the acts above reterred to, and the excise bas been limited to spirits, fermented liquors, tobacco, banking, patent ‘medicines, and stamps upon checks, and it wil! thus be seen that direct tax- ation bas been virtually abandoned. ‘The credit of the country bas improved in a degree most satisfactory to every patriotic mind. ‘The price of our securities has constant- ly advanced; and, although, at the commence- ment of the present adm nistration they were below the par value of gold {rom 15 to 17 per cent., to-day we dare boast that American secu- rities are equal in value to gold. ‘The apprecia- tion of our paper has been marked by the fall of gold trom $1.32 in 1869, to $1.10 and $1.12 in i These, and like considerations, have already enabled the government to place its public securities at a greatly reduced rate of in- terest, and the same causes, if continued, will enable us to call inthe balance of our six per cent. loan, and place it ata rate of interest from four to five per cent. The public credit has been lifted to its present enviable and exalted posi- tion by the republican Congress which came in with this administration. The fact that the re- peal of the revenue has equalled $100.000,000 an- nually is a sufficient explanation for the rapid progrers that bas been made in the payment oi the public debt. For myself I do not consider it desirable to extinguish this debt too rapidly hereatter. Such taxation should be imposed as will meet @ moderate reduction each year, and at the same time defray the necessary expenses of the governmen”. Contemplating our vast national resources, it may be confidently pre- dicted to be an easy task, in the hands of honest agents, for this nation to preserve its faith and pay its debt within twenty years; and durin, this time the people will enjoy such physica comfort and prosperity as are allotted te no other nation on the g'obe. INDIAN PoLicr. I feel compelled in these remarks to refer briefly to what fs known as the Indian policy of the present administration. it is not denied on the part of the government that there are occasional acts of theft, robbery and murder by Indians. These have been most frequent in Arizona and on the Texas frontier; but they have often been provoked and increased by the cruel and wicked conduct of bad white men. These acts of outrage have not been committed by organized tribes, na- ns, Or bands of Indians, but, on the contrary, by individual or acsociated Indians, acting in- ho amd of the wishes of their nation and tribe. Although not prepared with figures for an ac- curate comparison, yet I venture to say that the proportion of lawless violence, resulting in dan- ger to lite and property, is much greater in the city of New York than among many if not all of our Indian tribes, and that a greater propor- tion of the criminals go unpunished in that city than among the Indians. ‘There having been, during the existence of this administration, an organized and system- atic attack upon its Indian pol 7.09, denying that any good has been accomplished; by exag- gerating, for sensational purposes, every wrong committed by the Indians, and sometimes by asterting that Indian outrages bad been com- mitted when such assertions were without foun- dation in fact, 1 have resolved to expose these misrepresentatious, especially when it has be- come apparent that they are to be persevered in for party and political purposes.

Not to execed 50,000 are still roaming beyond such su- pervision, and it is expected that the present year will see that number eo far reduced that, substantially, the whole Indian race within the United States will be settled upon reservations. ‘These reservations are iocated with reference to of railroad i g F Savas meee aencaeaine insta : s % erez’s regiment arrived from Montere: morning and will occupy the fortifications, re- lieving the National Guard, which will be’ dis- banded.
