He will probably besone a week or two, and will be accompanied by Chief of Special Agents Woodward and Mr. Geo. A. Gustin, his’ pri- vate secretary. THE CHARGES AGAINST Con. McGrew. It 1s only necessary to say in relation to the charges brought against Col. J. M. MeGrew, chief clerk of t xth Auditor,s office, by Col. C. C. Bheats and Mrs. Chorpenning, that the Postmaster General, to whom they were referred, has no hesitation in pronouncing them vague and wholly unworthy of con- sideration, The charye is that Cel. MeGrew interfered improperly to prevent the payment of an award of £443,000 made by Postmaster General Creswell to George Chorpenning, the mail contractor, whereas Col. McG. Lothing to do with the Chorpenning case from beginning to end, and purposely avoided having anything to do with it. Judge Martin, then Sixth Auditor, ordered the pay- ment of the award, but its payment was en- joined by Congress who passed a bill imme- diately after the award of Postmaster Gen- “ral Creswell prohibiting such action. ARMY GAZETTE.—Leave of absence on sur- geou’s certificate of disability granted Capt. James H. Rollins, ordnance department, has been‘extended six months on surgeon's cer- lifleate of disability.

This letter was passed over to the postmaster at Canton, Iowa, and by bim referred to the Post Ofice department for information.

The Sioux delegation had another confer- esee with Secretary Delano and Commis- sioner Smith at the Interior department to- day. Spotted Tail made the first speech, 8. ing Chat he bad but one thing to say, and {hat was that the men who had accompanied them to Washington at their own expense (referrirg to Todd Randall, James Fitzsim- mons, Leon Paliaday and other traders) should be paid by the Great Father for their very valaable serv: That was all he had to say. The bills referred to were presented to the Commissioners of Indian affairs. Randall's i Fitzsimmor re for $273 each, and Pal ‘s $433. which inelndes feb s for * interpreting, when the fact is he interpreted but three days, when he was dis- charged “ for cause.” Th» Secretary said all these bills would be ‘erred to the Commissioner of Indian Af fairs for investigation, and went on to again explain the sition of the government in regard tothe hunting privilege in Nebraska, He said that as an additional indacement for them to sign the paper in which they re- Hnquish this privilege, he would pledge the Interior Department ani the President to use their best efforts to induce Congress to double the appropriation of $25.00). He also referred again to the Black Hills country and the country in Wyoming occupied by ux. He said he would appoint a eommis- sion to £0 out to the Sioux country aud treat with them in reference to the Black Hills and the Big Horn mountain country in Wy- oming. The Commissioner procured a map s] gave them a lesson in geograpliy, illustra. ting the scale and showing them What por- tion of their country the government desired them to relinquish. potted Tail seemed unusually animatad, and made a pithy speech, saying that as he and the Seeretary prayed to the e Great Spirit it was very singular that & ald differ so much. The Indians own the edun- try the Great Spirit gave them, and they never try to steal the country of any one cise: while the whites, who have a big coun- try, still want to steal what little the Indians have. He closed by saying that it was not worth while to discuss the subject of selling the Black Hflls, as their (the Iadians’) price e would be too large. Red Cloud put in as usual his claim for compensation for horses stolen from them by the whites, and repea ¥ quest that the traders accompanying them Should be reimbursed. The delegation leave to-morrow. They will probably have talk with Commissi Smith te to-morrow morning. es of ihe press Ww. 1 to-day. The Treasury Robbery. NO ARRESTS YET. The excitement in the Treasury over the robbery of Wednesday continues unabated. The employes in the cash-room, all of whom, of course, feel that they are regarded with suspicion, look haggard and careworn; and one of them, in conversation with a repr sentative of THE STAR, said:— For Gol’s sake do all you can to relieve us from this terrible suspense.” Rumors have been afloat from time to time to-day that the guilty party had been ar- rested, but inquiries made at the proper quarters failed to confirm the rumors. It appears that all the efforts of the secret ser- vice detectives have thus far been directed solely to the employes of the cash-room, not- withstanding the fact that on the day of the robbery, as well as every other day, numbers of visliors, many of whom are entire stran- gers, have been admitted to the eash-room and vault connected pceitehecaing & one of whom might possibly have seized the pack- ageyas the passageway to the vanlt leads directly by the table on which the sealed packages are deposited preparatory to ship- ment.

S MARRIAGE TO MISS Ruck ER.—The marriage of eulenant jereral P. H. Sheridan and Miss Irene tucker, daughter of Brevet Major General 1). H. Rucker, was celebrated at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents, in Chicago, last evening. The wedding was very quietly and plainly conducted. The following ‘were Vited and were all present, with the ex- ception of President Grant and Mrs. Grant, the President having reluctantly asked to be excused on account of a pressure of pub- lic business: President and Mrs. Grant, General Belknap, General Sherman and Mrs, Sherman, General Sherman’s staff officers with their wives, General Van Vliet, General Pope and Mrs. Pope, General Au- sur, General Terry, General Ord, General Crook and Mrs. Crook, General R. McFeely and General Perry. The bridal dress was of white gros-grain silk, softened by a tulle veil fastened with orange blossoms. The bride’s ornaments were gold necklace with solitaire pone diamond solitaire earrings and gold bracelets, the gift of the bridegroom. There were no bridesmaids. General Sheri- dan and all the army officers appeared in full uniform. The bridal presents were numer- ous and costly. The ceremamy was per- formed by Right Rey. Bishop Foley, assisted by Rey. P. Riordan, according to the forms of the Catholic Church, of whieh both parties are members. After partaking of a colla- tion the bridal pair, accompanied by Colonel and Mrs. M. F. Sheridan, and Colonel and Mrs. MeFeely, were driven to their resi- dence, No. 708 Michigan avenue, which was handsomely decorated and prepared for their reception. GEN.

The house finally passed a resolution to refer. —____. ANOTHER GREAT SALE oF SHORT- Horns.—The sale of Gen. Sol.

The Postmaster General bad a conference yesterday afternoon with Thomas R. Sharp, representing the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, with reference to the subject of mail transportation from Washington to New York, and subsequently: Jewell sent a telegram to Mr. Hinckley, president of the P. W. & B. railroad company, requesting him to hereafter send all postal cars over the Baltimore and Posomac railroad. He also sent a dispatch to Col. Seott giving him this information and one to Mr. Garrett saying: “Hereafter please continue the postal-car service from the west to Baltimore, and do not cut itoffat Washington, as heretofore, so ihat the western mails shall be trans- ferred at Baltimore instead of Washington.” Subsequently Mr. Garrett replied, si that he wenld take pleasure in comp! with the Postmaster General's request, and that he had issued the requisite onders. Heretofore the western mails have been cut off at Washington and transferred to the postal cars which go out on the Baltimore and Ghio road. If they were still cut off Baltimore under the order for carrying the mails over the Baltimore and Potomac road. it would necessitate a transfer to the depot of the latter. They will now be carried right to Ballimore on the postal cars which come on from the west. Thus the contest has ended in a viete for Col. Scott, who will hereafter carry the mails both ways between here and New York, while Mr. Garrett receives a new ser- vice which will partially compensate him for his loss of half the service wrested from him by Col. Scott. The Postmaster General received a dis- teh from Mr. Hinekley, president of the . W. & B. road, saying that the postal cars Will hereafter be sent over the Baltimore and Potomac road as he desires. - COL. SCOTT'S ANSWER. The Postmaster General also received the following dispatch from Col, Seott to-day “Your telegram announcing that. hereafter the postal cars will ranover the Baltimore and Potomac road, was received this morn- ing and is quite satisfactory. Onders will be given to to perfect the service between Washington and New York so as to avoid all transfers and give you better time than the department has ever enjoyed. We shall in the future as in the past endeavor to give you every facility that it may be fn the power of th. ny toextend.
