GREGORY 634 Pconsylvapia srease, EVENING STAR. Washington News and Gossip, Intwarat Revenvg.—The receipts from this Source to-day were $252,506.87. Szcnetary Bexknar called on the Post- master General to-day. Tue Treascry Derartuent wishes to re- tire all legal tender notes of issues prior o 1869. THE RESIGNATIONS of the following-named officers have been accepted by the President:— Second Lieuts, Wm. M. Bandy, 19th Infantry, and Isaiah H. McDonald, 10th cavalry. Gen. Jury C. Davis has authorized his chief quartermaster to purchase in open market the number of mules required to replace those lost, captured or disabled in the recent Modoc troubles. THE coTToN cRor does not promise well this year, the average being, according to the last repert of the Agricultural department, 99.5, on & basis of 100. ‘The reports show generally that the favorable weather in the last days of June was having the effect to change the condition somewhat rapidly for the better. Tue Sprcran Kickaroo Com™rsstoners’ report to the Indian Bureau that they recently had a talk with the Kickapoos and Pottawotta- mies at Romanista, and the Indians had to come into the United States from Mexico if they should be placed upon reservations in Kansas. Tue Postmastek at Boston haying re- fused to recognize official postage stamps on letters addressed to private parties, and also as fees of registration, the matter was referred to the Postmaster General, who decides that the Boston postmaster is wrong in refusing to rec- ognize the stamps. A comMiTtee of the Universal Peace Union submitted to President Grant at Long Branch on Monday an address on the subject of the Modoc prisoners, asking that the captives be not brutally treated. The President received the committee very cordially, and said their ad- dress would receive proper attention. UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFER OF ARMY Storrs To INDIANS.—The Secretary of War to-day issued an order that supplies, stores or prop- erty of any kind procured out of army appro- priations shall not be transferred in any way cr under any circumstances for the use of In- dian+, except under authority first obtained from the Secretary of War. THE FOLLOWING CHANOKS have been mate in the stations and duties of officers of the medi- cal department:—Assistant Surgeon Alfred A. Woodhull has been ordered to report to the manding general of the department of the ; Assistant Surgeon Frank Meacham to the commanding officer at Fort Monroe, Va., and Assistant Surgeon Charles Smart to the commanding general of the department of the Platte. THe Viex~xa INTERNATIONAL PATENT Conoress.—The Commissioner of Patents has had prepared, to forward to Judge James M Thacher, commissioner to represent the United States at the international patent congress which commences its sessions in Vienna on. the 4th proximo, copies of all the publications of the office, such as laws, rulings, &c., translated into German; also a complete set of drawings of the classes of mowers and reapers and sew- ing machines; the intention being to place our representative in possession of such data as will enable him to explain intelligently the character of the American Patent Office, its operations, what it has accomplished, &c. A MOVEMENT will be made at an early day by the proper officials of the Treasury department to enforce therule prohibiting the employment of two persons of the same family im the depart- ment. Itis known that in many cases man and wife bold government positions, the marriage being kept secret for the purpose of retaining places. There are at least five instances of the kind in the Treasury, and it is the intention of Secretary Richardson to enforce the rule strictly. He evidently does not believe in fos- tering whole families at the expense of the army of meritorious applicants for position, nor does he mean to depress the marriage mar. ket, but, on the contrary, is inclined to help it along, inasmuch as marriages of female de- partment empioyés usually create vacancies, Tue PaRAcysis oF Vick Parsrpent Wit- son.—Informatiun has reached Vice President Wilson’s friends in this city in regard to his physical condition, He has had a well defined, though rather slight, attack of paralysis, The stroke deprived him of control of the muscles of one side of his face, and has considerably dis- red him. It has as a consequence somewhat affected his speech. He has had the services and advice of several of the most distinguished physicians, who have given special attention to the treatment of paralysis, and they hold out strong hqpes of permanent recovery in case he will wholly abstain from brain-work for the present. It is regarded as extremely doubtful whether the physicians will consent 40 his pre- siding in the Senate at the opening of the next session. PEnsoNAL.—£x-Senator Henry 8.

THE NEWSPATER GUILD, particularly the “old war horses” like Father Gobright and the nimble-footed Holland, will learn with regret that the book in which almost daily was in- scribed the naval orders, is among the missing records of the Navy department.

Over these the hatch house is being erected, and it is even possible for the trout, if they frequent their former haunts, to actually deposit their own spawn in the hatch- ing troughs provided. These gentlemen have contracted to supply the lakes upon which the camp of the club is located with one hundred thousand young fry per year, and they expect to take at least one million eggs this fall, and to hatch ninety per cent. of tem by the dry or Russian method of impregnacion. They will be able to supply eggs or young fry in great abundance, and very cheaply, thus rendering a public benefit. The day is rapidly coming when it will be as easy to have speckled trout in season as spring chickens. — Livingston Stone, esq., of, New Hampshire, who went out with the portable aquariamof shad, lobsters, oysters, cels, &c., for the California waters, and which was utterly destroyed b going through a bridge west of Omaha, did not cease his efforts as a consequence. He went back, and it being too late for anything but shad, he took a car load of young fry but one day old when they started, and In eight days placed them safely in the head-waters of Sacra- mento river. — Blue-fishing is now at its height, and the catches kre reported to be very fine on the Long Island coast, especially at Canarsie and Sheepshead Bay. Some of our sportsmen are going over to try it. — The bass-fishing on the upper Potomac and its tributaries gives promise of being unusually “ine during August. It will have m: devotees frem among our summer tourists. —Horse-back parties still go out from Oak- land, on the B. & O. R.

The Virgin‘ Sprii Saige Enon, Jordan White ‘Suip jur and Capon, [Correspondence of The Star.] Hanrer’s Ferry, Va., July 15, 1873. ‘These springs are beautifully situated, not far from Winchester, and heretofore have been very attractive for their beauty of situation, and their life-improving and healing waters This summer, however, the attendance is not so large as formerly at these and other famous Virginia springs; many of the visitors now r sorting to the sea-side hotels, or crossing the sea itself for Europe in searoh of novelties and to complete their education by taking the degree of having traveled abroad and putuingon a few or bailed, as the case may be, for trial before such court as by this act has cognizance of the offense.” He says there can remain but one uestion, and that is whether the words, “ be- fore such court of the United States as by this act has cognizance of the offense,” restricts the general words in which the power to arrest is given, and confines it only to cases that are cognizable in the particular courts enumerated in the act of September 27, 1789. If there are any doubts upon the construction of the statute, he thinks they would be removed by the very clear and fulf opinion given by Attorney Geu- eral Taney, in which he says: * I cannot think that theré ‘is any foundation for the doubt which has been suggested. The power to arrest for any offense against the United States is iven In general terms, and the words which five occasioned this doubt are not words of restriction upon preceding words, and are ob- viously not so intended. * * * An offensé against the United States committed in this District is an offense against the same sovereignty as if commit in One of the states,” &c. Mr. Harrington says it has been the uniform and constant practice to extradite persons charged with offenses against the United State= from one district to another, to answer Lefure courts created after the passage of the act of 1789; and gives a number of instances, among them the following:—The circuit court of Vir- ginia took a recognizance of Aaron Burr to ap- pear and answer in Ohio for 4 misdemeanor al- fogea to have been committed there. The circuit court of the District of Columbia committed Erick Boliman, charged with an offense which the court could not try. This case was after- ward heard by the supreme court of the United States, and the power of the court to commit in & case of an offense against the United States does not appear to have been doubted. Tobias Watkins was arrested in ithe, Ghee in 182 for a misdemeanor at common law committed in the District of Columbia. He concludes by calling the attention of Dis- trict Attorney Bliss to the act of Congress of Feb, 25, 1865, concerning prosecutions for li- bels in the District of Columbia, which permits a defendant under the Pope issue to give in the truth as a justification of the alleged libel, or to show tl the matter charged as libelous was published with good metives and for jus- tifiable ends. He concludes as follows :—“Cer- tainly, un ‘is statute, the defendant will have the amplest opportunity for a fair trial, and to make good his allegations. This foolish, clamor by Mr. Dana’s counsel about the courts of the District, it seems to me, reflects more upon the gentleman indalging therein than upon the dignity and judicial fairness of our judges, who at least receive the respect and con- fidence of their fellow-citizens.” SHOCKING MURDER OF'4 MBROANTILE AGENT.
