RESTITUTION.—The following letter, cover- ing an inclosure of two $100 national bank notes, was received at the Treasury to-day, dated New York, August 3d, 1873:—“This sum, $200, belongs to the United States Treasury. Restirution.” ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS has tele- graphed Gov.

The commission appointed by Congress to in- vestigate the claims ef loyal citizens of the south for property taken or destroyed by the army, have numbered the claims and find them to be over twenty-two thousand, amonnting in all to more than $56,000,000. A number of them, of course, will be thrown out or the figures re- duced, but new ones are still being presented. The time allowed for their presentation, how: ever, has passed, and unless Congress should extend the limitation they will not be acted upon. IMPORTANT TO PURCHASERS OP MINERAL Lanps.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office has decided that parties desiring to acquire title to land containing valuable de- posits of iron ore must comply with the pro- visions of the mining act, approved May 10, 1872, except in the states of Michigan, n= sin and Minnesota, which, by the act of Con- gress approved March 3, 1873, are expressi relieved from its operations. Formerly lands containing deposits of iron ore were di of at private entry, as othe? public lands, after proclamation by the President. THE FOLLOWING CASUALTIBS among the commissioned officers of the United States army have been reported to the Adjutant Gen- eral during the week ending August 2d: Major Llewellyn Jones, U. 8.

Austin, of Minneso- ta, who came to this city to secure the good of- fices of the government in effecting the release on bail of American citizens held in ia gh Manitoban authorities, left for home last n! ney afternoon they had a second int view with the Acting Secretary of State, and filed affidavits in sup of a statement filed by them ata previous interview. Both are quite reticent as to the result of their mission, but in conversation they leave the impression that the object of their visit will no doubt prove satis- factory to all concerned. Tas Fovrtsa Sxcrion oy THE SouTHERN Paciric KatLroap.—The commissioners ap- pointed by the President in February last to examine the route of the Southern Pacific railroad, have forwarded their re) to the por gos | of the Interior of the fourth section of said |.

A late letter from San Antonio, Texas, states that Costolites, the Lipan chief who made his escape from the stockade at San Antonio, where the prisoners eaptured by Col. MacKen- zie in Mexico were confined, did not make his way back to Santa Rosa. It was supposed that be would steal a horse from the first ranche he came to and go home in style. This seems to haye been impracticable, and the old fellow, who was over eighty years of age. was compelled to ride “Shanks’ mare.” It would seem that he was unable to stand the fatigue of so long a march, and ‘pegged out” forty miles west of San Antonio, where his body was found in an advanced state of decomposition, Tue Case or Postat CrerK McLettay.— Bryce McLellan, whose rumored arrest was mentioned in the Baltimore American of yester- day, had an interview with Postmaster General Creswell to-day, but what passed between them is not known, as Mr. Creswell declines as yet to say anything with reference to the case. None of the subordinate officials at the depart- ment have received any official intormation in reference to the case. Mr. McLellan himself denies the charge and expresses an earnest de- sire that the reports be kept from his Young McLellan is about twenty-five ye: age, and has been in the railway postal servic: sinee April, 1867. It is certain at least that up to 3 p. m. to-day he had not been arrested. NEw UNIFORM FOR A»MIRALS.—The Secre- tary of the Navy, under date of July 31, issued acircnlar to the effect that hereafter the fall dress coat for Admirals will be the same as for Commodores, with the addition of half inch gold lace above the wide lace, on the cuffs the same as for the undress coat. The full dress sword belt for Rear Admirals will be the same as for Commodores, except will be double the width a: center line continuous. Rear Admirals having the uniform as prescribed by the regulations of July 14, 1869, will retain it. ‘he permission to all offi- cers to wear on social occasions, within the United States for evening dress, a body coat is extended for such occasions without the United States. It will be made as .follows: Of blue cloth after the a style of @ civilian’s dress coat with rolling collar, five navy buttons on each side, two at the waist behind, and two at the bottom ofthe skirt, the late and corps distinctions on the cuff, same ason full dress coats. This coat may be worn with or without epaulettes, but not with shoulder traps, and will replace the coat at mnt in use. The vest to be worn with this coat will be of white Marseilles, with rolling collar, cut 80 as to open low in front with four small navy buttons clos together. The Fature of W: Attorney General Williams, who is a warm friend of the District, in a recent conversation, spokein the most encouraging manner of the future of Washington, and the rapid progress made by within the past ae 8 the cit; few years. Sudge Williams’ h vested id real estate here, and is erecting an elegant resi- dence. Referring to the debt of the District, and the man: ore forth to show that the city wasin such a financial condition, he the debt of this city) amounted to noth- ing as compared to that of other large cities in the country, and he saw nothing to alarm an: one in the present indebtedness of the District. The people of the nation had become aroused to an interest in the national capital, and he haa no doubt that future Cs pigeon of Con, would be more liberal than previous ones. The energy which the ple of the Dis- trict had shown in improving the city was much to their credit, and he believed the na- tional government now more than ever would see the justice and propriety of paying its share of the improvements. He thought ita very lame argument that Washington had no re- sources, Such as commerce or manufactories, to make ita great city. True, there is no com- merce here, but the federal government ex- pends thousands of dollars here every day, upon which the people could rely. There were no disappointment in receiving their money por ye those in the employ of the government, and the large disbursement of the government were sufficient to make Washington a great city.— Wash. Cor. Phila. Press. Tue Crvit WAR IN SPAIN—The Bombardment of Valencia.—The civil war in the south of pain is becoming warmer. The objective point of the government attack upon the in- surgents is at Valencia, and that beautiful city is experiencing all the terrors of internecine conflict. Since Friday last a regular bombard- ment of the city has been in progress, the be- sieging forces have made a number of charges upon the positions of the insurgents, and the village of Mislata, in the suburbs, hasbeen sot on fire by shells. The loss of lite has been large, and there is pI LETTER FRO! Plain Season—Becline of the A Fadliuanhie. "Misomiie winaany ot the Landiords—Commedore Vander. bilt, Ete, [Correspondence of The Evening Star.] Sararoca, August 4, 1873. ‘It has been the fact as well as the impression that one season at this ‘‘Queen of the Ameri- can watering places’ is but the type of the other. This season, however, must be the ex- ception that conclusively proves the rule. While the hotels constantly become larger and grander from year to year, and the opportunity for that fashionable display, which has grown so luxuriantly heretofore by what it has fed on, has thus increased, there is atthe very turning point of the summer’s heighth a most marked absence of that “gloss of satin and glimmer or peari,” which usually stand oat amid the glittering generalities of the hitherto unfluctuating fashionable world. Notonly tothe old habitué is this contrast apparent, bat it is the first remark of the casual visitor. Said Miss Grandy—the veritable Miss Grundy—the other evening at the promenade concert which Jubi- lee Gilmore gave on the piazzaof the Grand hotel, ‘There is no dreasing at Saratoga this summer.” As @ plain matter-of-fact I sug- gested that there was more covered by dress than formerly, that there was less of the deco- letté style, as it is called, and less exposure of the shoulders, thus showing thatin one sense atleast there'was more dress than usual. Bat in the fashionable sense it is true enough that there is none of the former display of fashion this year. While the hotels have at last become comfortably filled, though weeks behind the usual period, and their spacious colonnades are full of promenaders with every variety of sum- mer toilettes, the tasteful is uppermost every- where,—the Swiss is above the satin, the rutile hides the ruby, the Whitby has taken the place of the diamond, and in ball or dining room the “grasshopper bend” and the new kink of “scolloped hair” riffle the surface only of the new departure. There are bleached blondes and bright brunettes, however, who strug, against the current, it is true, but their hair “scollops”’—shaped like the bottom of a skirt as I have seen it at the street crossings—parted on the forehead with glycerine, and their “bends” that take the shape of the grasshopper on its jump are restricted to the cirsle of their origin and some days disappear altogether. How this revolution in society could have been brought about, for it is not continéd to Saratoga as the only summer resort, without any previous purpose of concentration, puzzles Gradgrind, the landlord, whose long experience has made him quite ready with “facts,” and has actually dazed Lilykid, the blooming hote! clerk. New Yorkers say that it is the larg European travel this year that has made the watering places so flat and unprofitable; but I do not always find that reason accepted. Others declare that there isa reaction going on from the rich and rank outgrowth of the late war, and that the American head, turned for a time, is finally seeking the American level of trac republicanism and that follies of so-called fashionable life are en the down grade. Busi- ness men are full of figures in their explana- tions, and insist that retrenchment is following @ very dull business season and discounting at the same time a future that is by no means bright. But let the situation explain itself. It troubles noone but the watering place land- lord and those dependent on his following. Saratoga is big with the future. Last year it built a six-story new hotel—the Grand, which furnishes silver door-plates for tht season's guest—and it will by next season have com- pleted, at acost of a million dollars, the new United States hotel. The stockholders expect a cool hundred thousand dollars a year interest on their money before any profits are carried to the lessees, a financial sum quite impossible of solution in the face of the revenue from the season of 1873. Still, the building, which will inclose five acres, is nearly up to the second story. This hotel, as well as all of the large ones, find a very active competition in the face of the immense capital of A. T. Stewart, who owns the Grand Union, and who also proposes te enlarge that building by next season. It is already believed to be the largest hotel in the world. Some idea of its immensity may be fermed by the following statistics:—Street frontage, 1,400 feet; length of piazzas, one mile; halls, two miles; carpeting, twelve acres; marble tiling, one acre; number of rooms, 824. The dining-room will seat twelve hundred people. The building covers and incloses seven anda quarter acres. The new Grand hotel, or Grant Central as it is sometimes called, has 650 rooms, twenty-five stores under it, and is as replete as @ city hotel. Gilmore’s band of jubilee fame furnishes it with music at a cost of a hundred dollarsaday. I mention these figures to best illustrate the rivalry of these monster affairs. Yet some of them resort to small means to make a few dollars. Congress Hall tendered a com- plimentary reception the other evening to Go». Hartranft and suite, of Pa., andcharged a do lar to attend it. Those who like to lookin on the childrens’ hops are required to pay a dollar Commoéore Vanderbilt is, as usual, spendin_ his summer here. He looks in fine health aut handles a team on the Lake road with as mucl: ease as he would @ thousand shares of Mich:- gan Southern. He received the news of the terrible accident to the Saratoga special ex- press the other afternoon as coolly as if one of his old-time and disgraceful ricketty depots had been merely burned.

No such firm is found here. PLOT TO ESCAPE PROM THE Towns. The Warden of the Tombs discovered on Sunday evening a plot among the prisoners to escape. Making an examination he found a long knotted rope in an unoceapied cell and discovered that one of the bars of the window bad been sawed throngh and held in ite place by putty, so that it could be drawn off and an easy exit made. Four prisoners are implicated in the plot. THE ENGLISH STEAMER EASRY, drawing 21 feet water, struck a rock at the foot of i9th street, East river, yesterday and stove ahole in her bow.

The demand is more active and prices are evidently on the advance. In this city an advance of 25 cents per ton was very generally pet on by the retailers on the Ist, to cover, as said, the advances made monthly fer the last two or three months. The last sale of Scranton coal, if those sales be fair exponents of prices, sbows that an advance of 25 per cent per tan is warranted by the market. There is, however, considerable excitement at all the coal centers in consequence of the now general- ly conceded fact that there is a combination Lin the market and t the new: its price.

He attempted its withdrawal, but in so doing broke the needie, leaving the point where it en- tered. Pliysicians were immediately called, but they could do nothing.

At its meeting Friday, it was decided that after the ist of January next, the rate of insurance on wooden mansard roofs sould be raised from 50 cents on $100 to $1 on the same Amount. This, of course, includes not only the building, but the insurance on all the m ~ dise contained in it; aud it will thus be seen that it will be difficult for the owner of such a warehouse to let it to any merchants for ordi- nary business purposes. The addition of an ex- pense of one per cent. on al! the goods coming into a store would often take away any profi that might otherwise come from the sale of the same.
