At the meeting of the Cabinet yesterday it was dctermined to enforce the regulations preventing the sale of arms and ammunition to hostile Indians. A general order was de- cided upon to be issued from army head- quarters, which firsi quotes Gen. Grant's or- der on that subject, and then gives directions for its enforcement CoMMODORE AMMEN.—The statement ina Morning newspaper that Commodore Am- nen will be relieved in Octoder next is in- correct. According to the law he will not be compelled to retire until 1882, and, though he May request to be relieved from active duty before that date, such a course will be en- Urely voluntary,and not because he Zcan not avoid it. ARMY CHANG 905. Te om hand at close of day's work, >. 220 — By direction of the President, the forces of the navy and marine corps, now on duty in the District of Colam- bia, are relieved from the requirements of general orders No. 70, requiring them to re- port to Major Ger J. M. Schotield, and that officer is relieved from the temporary anty to which he was assigned in the same orders. THE PRESIDENT’s BENNINGTON CENTEN- SIAL Trip.—Secretary McCrary, Postmas- ter General Key and Attorney General Dev- eps will accompany the President to the Bennington Centennial Secretary Evarts will met the presidential party at Beni: g ton. Secretary Sherman has personal bu-i- ness to attend toin Ohio, and the Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Luterior will be the only Cabinet Mmiuisters left in Washington at that time. CoUNTING MILLIONS OF STAMPS.—The New York Sun of to-day says: For the past five days twelve young women from the Treasury department at Washington have been counting the stam: on hand at the Continental Bank Note Company's place at Eroedway and Prince street, under the su- pervision of Madison Davis, chief of stamp division (ebairman); Gen. Joseph Knapp, ebief clerk Post Office department; H. T, Sperry, U.S. envelope agent at Hartford, and H. B. Hilkins, jr. secretary of commis- sicn. It is understood that the count of near- ly two hundred million stamps reveals an agreement between the accounts highly cred- its ble to the contractors. The exp-rts of the Treasury department have counted two mil- lion sheets in five days. THE StatTu Qvo RESTORED.—Th? ques- tion was considered at thp Cabinet meeting yesterday in regard to the retention of troops in localities where distu: bances growing out of the strike recently occurred, aud it was egreed that a large part of the army shou'd be kept east of the Mississippi river in ac cordance with the wishes of General Han- cock, commanding the military division of the Atlantic. It was also determined that the naval vessels now anchored off this city might b» returned to the North Atlantic fleet, together with the force of sailors and marines, numbering 500 or 600, ordered to this city when the late labor troubles com- merced. In accordance with this decision the Plymouth, Swatara and Huron, now a1 chored here, will sail for Fortress Monroe on Taursday or Friday next. There will be a review of the sailors and marincsat the navy }ard this evening, which wil! beattended by the President, Secretary of the Navy, aud other prominent offic: SITTING BULL CominG BACK TO RENew THE CAMPAIGN.—The Secretary of State has forwarded to the Secretary of the In- terfor @ letter, dated the 2ith ultimo, from Jemes W. Taylor, U. 8. Consul at Winne- g. B.N.A., giving some account of the ostile Sioux under Sitting Bull, who re- z cently took refuge in the British possessions. Mr. Taylor says they are at present near Wcod Mountain, and that he estimatcs their pumber at 5.000 souls—1,000 of whom are Warriors. Other parties, he says, who have scen them, estimate the total number of souls at $000, and of warriors at 1,500. Tae Indians, Consul Tayior says, make no secret of their intention to renew a campaign in the Yellowstone valley, and seem determined to get emmunition, éven resorting to threats to obtain it. On the 23d of June, near Sitting Bull's encampment, a war party of 7 Sioux rok bed four traders of three kegs of powder and ore bag of bullets. Besides Sitting Ball's band there is an equal number of Sioux refugees from the Minnesota massacre of I~ .-3, Over Whom Sitting Bull seems to ex- ere se much influence. A REMARKABLE VINDICATION. — The Tresident bas restored to his rank on the | ret red list of the army Major Benjamia Ronk'e who, in 172, was court-martialed on ras charge of misappropriating money, dis- hissed from whe service, and senteuced to imprisonment in the penitentiary, ou_find- ings approved by Gen. Belknap, then Secre- tary of War. Major Runkle, it is said, proved Lis"innocence of the charge upon which he was convicted by vouchers in the Treasury, ard lately his counsel made the point that the military law requires the sentence of court-martial, involving criminal atcusa- tion, to be cre by the President. Ar. gument on this point was made before the President and the law officers of the govern ment, and the decision was reached thar the point made by the lawyers was good. This int gained, the President gave Major Run- le @ special hearing upon the merits of h: defence. The evidence of his innocence dis- covered by Major Rankle durivug the last | five years was so overwhelming that the President has decided that the accusation ‘was unfounded, and the finding of the court- martial ilk and void. Major R., who was brave soldier, will receive his back pay, amounting to gil PATENTS were issued to residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Vir- ginia this week as follows: Jristrict of Ovlumbia —To R.

TuF CANAL AND THE MINES.—Informa- ton was r ceived atGov Carroli’s headquar ters yesterday that some canal boats had left Sir Job Run, and the indications were that the blockade on the canal would be aban- dened. The situation now appears to be somewhat similar to that on the railroad at one time when the str: kers gave ap their tn- terfererce wiih trains, but prevented the hands from going to work by persuasion and int midatiou. Sterif! Mayberry, of Wash- ington county, with a posse, visited the vi- ci: ity of Sir John’s Run on Monday and de- manded that the way be opened. The boat- men replied that there was no blockade; that the channel was free to navigation. Tne sheriff ordered tbe boats to move along, and s!x captel.s were about to start for Cumber- laud when one of them requested all boat- Taen pre sent to give thelr opinion by vote as to whether he sould go, agreet: g to abide by the resnit. The boatmen unanimously deei- ded that he should not go, and the boais were again Lied up, the crowd cheering No vote Was taken Talli at Sir John’s Ran on the matter of returning to work. A party of sixteen boatmen went in skiffs from the 1- mile level to Sir John’s Run to vote, Ty: 1 ga United States flag with the motto “OLe dutiar or no freight.” A meeting of boat- men at WIIl'amsport yotcd unanimously for SS cepts and 90 cents, with a reduction of trippage tufticient to cover their demands of $land +105. The boatmen have agreed to permit Mr. H. G. Wagner's steamers to pasa, as he has a contract to supp'y the New York Steamship Company's line running between New York and Washington. For the past thiee weeks the line has been using aathra- clte coal. Mr. Waguer buys the coat at Cum- berland and transports it in his own bow's.

Near Wilkesbarre two pas: enger trains have been stoned, and it has been found neces-ary vo use the troops in moving some trains, but otherwise all is quiet. The miners have not yet gone to Work, but itis thought that rext week will witness a general resumption. The coroner's jury at Reading acquit the soldiers of blame for the bloodshed there on the 23d July, and Place the responsibility upon the mob of rioters. There was some apprehension yes- terday that the fremen and brakemen on the Baltimore and Ohio road are on the eve of a fresh strike, but there seems to be at railroad headquarters no fear of any such movement. Affairs along the Chesapeake and Ohio caval and throughout the Cumberland coal fields are unaltered, but the prospect for raising the caval b.ockade is promising. SHOOTING IN KENTUCKY.—A_ special from Harrodsburg, Ky., says two serious shooting affairs occurred Monday in Edge, Washington county, and near the Mercer line. Maxville was the scene of one dim- culty, in which John Satterfield shot and killed John Butler. The affair was the result petal oddone difficulty over a sack of flour. Gardner’s store, near Milersburg, was where the other fight occurred, in whieh several families took part, and was a renewal of a former fraeas. Several of the Royaltys, Gardners, Cascs and Sheridans were partici- 's. One man, Sheridan, was shot through the head and killed outright. Gardner was sbot in the arm, and one Case inthe wrist. Twenty or thirty shots were fired, and prob. ably others were wounded whose names are not know A Fatal FEup IN SAN FRANCISC John E.
