PRESIDENT Hay to attend the cele- bration of South Mountain day by the Ohio 23d regiment, at Fremont, Ohio, September 14, and expects to spend a week in New Hampshire and Veimont in that month. ConTRACT AWARDED.—Mr. M. K. Chase, of Blue Hill, Maine, bas been awarded the contract for furnishing the cut granite for a pedestal for the Thomas statue, his bid— $11,:(0—being the lowes! AMONG THE CALLERS at the White House to-day were Commissioner Raum, Repre- sentatives O'Neill and White, and Dr. F. De Wolf, of the Western Reserve College: Obio. The Cabinet met at THE RUSH OF APPLICANTS FOR OFFICE has been stopped at the Treasury department by the formidable display of a placard on the dcor leading to the Secretary's office an- nouneing that no application will be consid- ered until further notice. JEROME LEE, OF Onto, has been appoint- ed chief of the paymaster’s accounts divi- Sion of the Second Controller's office, vice Taylor, deceased. Lee is a resident of Mans- field, Ohio, the town in which Secretary Sherman resides. GOVERNMENT Su(t.—The government bas, by District Attorney Wells, entered a suit against J. C. Howells, late clerk to the governor of Idabo (appointed in 1563), and bis sureties (E. 8. Stevens and J. W. Wells) torecover $1,250, in whien, it is elaimed, he is in default! DIAZ TO BE REcoGNizED.—There is ex- cellent authority for the statement that Secretary Evarts will advise on the part of the Cabinet the recognition of Diaz as de facto the president of Mexico, and the re- ception of the credentials of Stior Mata as the accredited minister from that republic. JvupGE LEvIssE, of Louisiana, denies that he failed to sign the electoral certificate from that state, and says the certificate now On file at the State department bears his genuine signature, and that in every respect ¢ complied with the requirements of the law relating to the duties of Presideutial electors. PERSONAL.—Hon. Charles O'Neill, M. C of Pennsylvania, arrived in town last night, got what he wanted, and left for his home at jen. Harry White, M. t from Pennsylvania, and a dis ished republican politician, lett for U White Sulphur Springs last night. +-- Scott, U. 8. congul at Chihuahua, Mexico, has arrived iu Washington on leave of absence. Dr. WM. W. GopDING.—The Fall River (Mass., News of Saturday says: “Dr. Wm. W. Godding yesterday resigned his position as superintendent of the lunatic hospital at Taunton, to accept the appointment tendered him by Secretary Carl sehburz, as superin- tendent of the Government Hospital for tue Insane, at Washington. Dr. Godding has served thé public in his present capacity for more than seven years with eminent satis- faction, and has merited and won the repu- tation Of being the foremost man in the com- monwealth, in bis specialty It was, there- fore. with great regret that the trustees ac- cepted the resignation.” NAVAL EMANCIPATION.—The Secretary ef the Navy celebrated the Fourth of Jaly by liberating all the prisoners, some thirty in number, belonging to the naval service, confined for various offenses in the prisons at Weathersficld, Copn.; Mare Island, Cal.; New York city and other places, as well as on board of various vessels. The Secretary is of the opinion that the sentences of naval courts-martial are in many instances too severe, and bas recently appointed @ board of officers, consisting of Rear Admiral Rodg -rs, Captain John H. Rassell and Sar- geon Kirdleberger, to devise a system of Appropriate punishments, APPLICATION FOR THE RESTORATION oF A WorTHY OrriceR.—aA delegation of prominent citizens waited upon the Secre- tary of the Navy eons with @ largely signed petition asking for the reinstatement of Mr. William Talbert as foreman of ar wrights at the Washington navy yard. Mr. Talbert, who 1s an old and much esteemed citizen, filled the position in question with notable ability during the trying years of the war, and up to the time when Borie came in as Secretary of the Navy, when be was Temoved to make @ place for someboly else. The government has had the use for years, without cost, of the ingenious invention of Mr. Talbert for the moving of vessels coming to the yard for repairs. THE RETURNING BOARD QUESTION — The sensational statements now being printed in connection with the indictment of the members of the late returning board in Louisiana seem to be born more of the zeal of the writers as to what they hope may be the result than what is candidly anticipated will be. If the prosecations against the beard are vigorously , there is, of course, every reason to believe that the Lou- isiana case will be again opened, with ali its attendant scandals. There is the best reason for the belief that the movement was in- itiated against the board by Mr. Tilden. Tre movement seems to ie ponent by disap- inted republicans on the one hand, who lost their offices in the state of Loaisi- ana and want to get even by disclosing their own shortcomings, and the Bourbon element of the democracy, who hope to make a Uittle party capital. A CoFFIN THAT IS TO BE UTILIZED Po- LITICALLY.—“ My Dear Pitkin” while regis- tercd at Willard’s hotel, has really been since he arrived here the guest of Gen. B. F. Butler. He brought with him a rather neat present for the Essex statesman. It will be remembered that recently President Hayes appointed a colored postmaster at Bayou Sayra. He accepted the office, but subse- quently abandoned it unceremoniously. It @ppears that the white league sent him a miniature coffin with appropriate deata trappings, accompanied by a letter warning bim that he would fill such a death box if he continued to exercise the functions of the ghast = presented it to Gen. is compliments, not as @ Menace, butas a good thing for Butler to exhibit in the House of Representatives when he makes a speech upon the workings of the President’s pacifi- cation policy in south. Private UsE oF Go NMENT MAIL BaGs.—Col. Parker, chief of special agents of the Post Office depariment, having dis- covered that, in violation of the law, the mail bags of the government are in ~ sion of pumerous 8 Within the District of Columbia, who make use of these bags in various ways, for their private business, the facts were submitted the Post Master General. It is found that, in utter disregard Of the law, this appropriation of the mail bags by junk shops, dealers and others, bas been going on forsome years, and persons bigh in official business, and re- spectable business men have been found in = ego of this government & yperty. any of these persons are, no doubt, igno- rant of the fact that the law provides a severe Psa a | of fine and imprisonment, for mek- rg cre of the mail bags for any other than the parrose for which they were manufac- tured. But it is found, nevertheless, that some intelligent business men, are know- ingly violating this law. The Postmaster General bas determined to have the offend. this end arrests have of order f subsistence at Fort is sible. The leave of ited Capiain J. J. Van Hora, sth extended six months, aad the ‘aptain G. M. Breyton, sth inf try in extended five mon bs, on surgeoa’s certificate of disability. CRIPPLING THE LETTER-CARRIER SER- VicE.—The reduced appropriation for the compensation of letter-carriers having ne- cessitated a reduction of five per cent. in the salaries of these employes, thereby avoiding adiminut on of force, will occasion much embarrassment to the Post Office depart- ment, in consequence of the inability of the Postmaster General to authorize the exten- sion of the free delivery system so as tohave it Keep pace with the Increasing population of the cities to which it has been applied. In some of the larger cities, with constantly in- creasing population and widening territorial area, the necessity of funds to meet the de- mands for extension will be most keenly felt. Although the appropriation for last year was entirely inadequate to the wants of the service, that for the present year is even lower, and before the pangs) of the year, unless Congress gives relief, the freedeiivery system in every city ofthe Union will be most disastrously affected. In making up the estimates of the Post Office department, that for the letter-carrier service will be in- creased to meet uot only the present demand, but the additions to the service which will be necessitated by increasing populations and areas. THE INDIAN TROUBLES AND THE ARMY. Adispatch received at the War Office yes- terday states that Gen. Sherman left Bis- marck yesterday afternoon on the steamer Rosebud, tor the purpose of inspecting the new military posts now being built the mouth of Tongue river and the Little Bi Horn. When these posts are eompieted an — y garrisoned, itis thought the effect will be to prevent any future serious Indian troubles in that locality. It is believed by many that if Congress had promptly made appropriations for the construction of these posts when first recommended the war with Sitting Bull would never have occurred, or at least would not have assumed the pro- portions that it did. It Is stated at tae War Office that in case further reinforeementsare needed to quell the Indian disturbances in the northwest, they can only be drawn from the southern States, exclusive of the depart- ment of Texas. The garrisons in the Atlan- Uc states are scarcely more than sufficient to take proper care of the forts and valuable properly stored therein. In the department of Texas there is not @ sufficient force to give necessary protection to life and property on the Rio Grande. Troops cannot be spared from etter the department of the Missouri or depa..ment of lakota. By a general order issued from the War department the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississipp!, Ala- carma,ard parts of Kentucky and Tenues. see lying west of thegTennessee river, and which comprise the military department of the Gulf, bave been reassigned to the mili- tary division of the Atlantic. THE CHARGES AGAINST CASHIER GUTH- RIE, OF THE TREASURY.—The truth about the charge telegraphed from here against Cashier Guthrie of receiving $600 from the Distriet of Columbia tor services rendered, seems to be about this :-— When Gen. Spinner was Treasurer of the United Siates and Mr. Gutbrie was a clerk in his office, the sinking fund commission ers of the District of Co- lumbia called upon him to solicit his Straightening out their aceou While the work Was pending Gen. 8. asked Guthrie if he would as: Guthrie did assist, aud gave his services so far as he was concerned crouniouny. When the work was floished loses Kelly, one of the commissioners, told Guthrie that bh s services were appreciated, and that the board had decided to pay him for the -ame $000, which was accor {ingly paid. The services Guthrie rendered were worth, at the rates experts charge, three times what he got. If the District of Colam- bia funds are in a legal sense public funds, Guthrie did receive two compensations from the government. 1f such funds are not pub- lic fonds, then he did not. Officers of the District government who Know the facts in the case give the follow- ing version: That in 1874 the District Com- missioners required a.all statement of the public debt of the District to be made, and it was found that the accounts of the sinking fund commissioners were in such @ condi- tion a* to require the services of an export to ‘make the statement called for. r. Gu trie was recommended as a suitable person for this duty, and the Distriet Com- Missioners gave permission to the — fund board to employ him, and he was paid for his services by the District of Columbia and rot by the United States. The sinking fuvd board, from its creation by act of the legislative assembly up to that time, had never adopted any regular system of keep- ivg its accounts. Mr. Guthrie undertook this work outside the hours of his official duties. and succeeded in producing the financial statement at the time required, and inaugu cated @ satisfactory system for keeping these accounts, whi a8 since been followed by the sinking fund board. ———_ +200 A TorNADo occurred at Westfield, Mass. yesterday, felling trees scattering fences and demolishing buildings until its force was expended. It first struck the wall of the Salmon Falls paper mill, rebuilding from the recent fire, which fell, crushing in the engine-bouse, containing two men, one of whom was seriously hurt. Two men plow- ing saw the storm coming and attempted to reach a barn near by. They and their horses were thrown to the ground and wounded by flying stones. When they recovered their Sight the barn was gone. A family of six persons in a house heard the whirling noise and knew nothing until they found them- selves on the floor several rods from the site of the house; the rest of the building was destroyed. Two buildings and a dozen barns were desiroyed. At Chicopee Falls the wird destroyed several barns, sheds, and many trees, * GEN. — HES i cap correspon- jent recalling the Sickles- Key tragedy says that Sickles so far condoned his wile’ ot ferse as to allow her to stay in his house in New York, but they did not live together as an and wife. Sbe died in 1865, and Geo. Sickles afterward married a Spanish lady at Madrid. His daughter Laura, who was a mere child at the time of the scandal, was kept in ignorance of it and carefully edu- cated. When ber father was appointed min- ister to Madrid, Laura went with him and did the henors of her father’s house. She is a very lovely woman, almost the image of her mother. Afterward at Paris she for the first time learned of her mother’s ay ogg has driven her to Journal.

Veeder, of Brooklyn, bas written a card to say that the allegations made by his wife concerning his treatment of her are all untrue. He says that she did not procure a divorce on the ground of cruelty; that charge was rejected by the court, and the separation was decreed solely for the cause of desertion. This, he says, he might have repelled conclusively; but, anx- ious to escape further torment, ‘he let the story of abandonment pass. He says it is not true that he threw the burden of their son Thomas’ support on Mrs. Veeder.
