THE JAY Commission AGAIN.—Secre- tary Sherman ts not satisfied with the report of the Jay Commission in regard to the cus- tom house weighers at New York city. He does not think there is sufficient ground for the sweeping changes and removals recom- mended. The question was submitted in Cabinet meeting prior to the departure of the President, but uo decision was reached. Secretary Suerman says that he will direct further testimony to be taken. Tue Estimates fur the support of the army for the present fiscal year have beeu prepared by the War department and sent to the Treasury department, whieh will trans- mit them to Congress at the extra session. These are the only estimates to be sent in. The President's message and accompanying documents will relate only to the busiaess for W gies is especially convened ard Lot to subjects of general legislation. It is thought, herefure, thal the message will be briet. NAVAL ORDERS.— Lieutenant Frederick G. Hyde ordered to the Hartford, at Norfolk, Va.; Matter M. Fisher Wright to temporary duty op board the receiving ship St. Louis, at Levgue Isiaud, Pa ; Chie Engineer Wm G. Buehier to the Plymouth, at New York Ist Uctober next; Passed Asmictaut E retursed from Cape DEATH OF PROF. RUGGLES—A_ press telegram announces the death of Prof. Wm. Ruggles, L. L. &., of Columbian College, at Schooley’s Monntain, on the 10th. The fac- ulty of the college have not received inform- ation direct of the fact, but there is nodoubt ofthe truth of the report, as Prof. Ruggles has been tn feeble heaith for some time, and bas not been actively connected with the college for some years. He was born in Rochester, Mass., in 1500, graduated at Brown University, and became one of the instruct- ors at Columbian College at its opening. A brother and niece survive him, the r being the wife of Judge Pratt, of the New York Supreme Court. THE PHILADELPHIA Custom HovsE.— The commission inquiring into the Philadel- phia custom house has reported that a reduce on can be made of the clerical force; that the naval officer, surveyor and local ap- fitiser are proprietors of newspapers pub- ished in the interior of the state; that the general appraiser has clothing stores in Puil- adelpbia aud New York; that the examiner bas a drug store, and thal several inspectors 4re engaged in private business. The com- Mission says there have been no charges of bribery, and the character of the force as to character aud capacity 1s of a very fair aver- age and the work efficiently done, having been greatly improved within the past year under the present collector. Secretary Suer- man approves of their specific recommenda- ons, and will carry into effect those that fall within the power of the department, and where the law needs modifyiog it will be his duty to submit the proposed changes to Con- gress. How Nort fo Do It.—The Board of Health at its meeting last night adopied the follow. ing resolution: “That the board disapprove of any em. ploye of the same holding two posite offices, or continuing with his official duties those of any other office or occupation, excep! by the consent or the approval of the board pre. canned Siained: aud that he employe wi expected and required contre himself strictiy and solely to the da- tes assigned him by the Board of Healta.” This is a commendable order as far as it eS, but it cannot affect Dr. Keane, the th officer, because he is under bonds to the government to perform mail service over Various routes throughout the country, Tne board must know that hereafter as heretofore be ts bound to the service or else for- feit his bond; but the order is broad enough to let Dr. Keene out, for the ean very conveniently allow him to go on with his mail contracting, inasmuch as it reserves to itself that disputed right. SUSPENDED OFFICE-HOLDERS AND THE SENATR.— A good deal has been written and Said concerning the formation of a combina- office-holders under Hayes to defeat the confirmation of their successors. The impression 2. that in case the rT he was re- 1768 of the Revised Statutes, however, affords very little hope for the de- Posed ore In case their successors are not copfirmed. It reads: “The President shall, witbin thirty days after the commencement of each ression of the Senate, except for any effice which in bis opinion ought not to be filled. nemainate persons to fill all in office which existed at thi erate whether temporarily and in the place of all officers suspend- ed; and if the Seuate during such time shall refuse to advise aud consent to an sppoint- ment in the place of any suspended officer. then, and not otherwise, the President shal! nominate another person @& s00n @S8 practica- ble to the same session of the Senate for the office.” Thus it will be seen that it is within Sepewn of the President to keep on nomi- nating a until the Senate advises and contents to the nomination without reference to the removed officer.

This is taken to mean that a change is to be made in the head of the division. A NEw MINISTER TO SWEDEN.—Hon. J. L. Stevens, of Maine, has been appointed minister to Sweden, succeeding General C. C. Andrews, of Minnesota. Mr. Sievens was minister to Uruquay and Paraguay daring General Grant's first term, and resigoed that position in 18:3. He was for many years the editor of the Kennebec Journal, and was as sociated with Senator Blaine more than 2) years ago in the ecaduct of that pap:r. THEJAPANESE RENELLION SUPPRESSED Mr. Bingham, United States Minister to Japan, informs the Department of State, in @ dispatch dated Jaly 2s last, that Hoo. John 1. Cae walader, late Assistant Seorclary of Stale, was t vor d with an xadien = by his majesty the Emperor of Japsa, at Kloto, on the 2ist of that month.

He represents that the campaign in O4io is well organized by both political parties, but that the peopie for the past two years have had too mucb political excitement, and that there Is nol mucy enthusiasm displayed on either side. They attend the meetings, listen and go home, Lut do very little of wwe “aurrah” busivess. He thinks that Ohio will be se- curd to the democracy, both ou tie state Ueket and legisiatnre. ‘He says that both ¥ ris have made stroog nominations in amillon county. MaJoR WELCH aN Sitting BoLn report of @dificulty between Major Welch, commanding the British police, asd Sitting Bull, whieh resulted in Sitting Ball being ordered to leave the British possessions within five days, is diseredited here. Major Weich was fully aware of a commission pin this goverument being en route to treat with Sitting Bull, which was se the request of his own govern not thought that, under these cireumstances, he would take any dee’sive steps in the mat. ter on his own authority. In case the report proves true, however, the Sitting Ball com- iission will be directed to await the move- ments of the fugitive chief at Fort Benton, aud treat with him there, if practicable. How Vice PRESIDENT Ferry’s Liquor PROHIBITION Was ENFORCED.—Taere is a story told anent the sale of liquor at the Sen- ale restaurant, which, although not of recent happening, loses none of its spice through deiay of its publicity. Last winter, when the mind of the average statesman was absorbed in the all engross- ing topic incident to the Presidential count, President of the Senate Ferry issued an crder to the restaurateur toabstain from the sale of all intoxicating drinks. Withio twenty minutes after the ukase had been pro- mulgated Senator Clayton, of Arkansas, ap- red and gave one of those knowing wiuks fo the young man behind the marble coun- ler. The wink failivg to be interpreted, as the Senator thought, he threw up his finger (all drinkers know now it is done), but even his, accompanied with the wink, duplicated and wi fel ‘ated, failed to penetrate the seem- ing stolidity of the attendant. Fiually, Clay- ton, out of patience, said: «Here, give mesome whisky.” “Sorry, sorry, very sorry,” replied the at- tendant, “but V ice President Ferry has Just issued an order that no liq —” “D—n Vice President Ferry. Gim mea dri:k, quick.” “But will you protect me if discovered?” “Certainly i will. Gim me some whisky.” The tea culp was served. the Senator quaifed from it, smacked bis lips and passed up stairs to legislate, Presently Senator Jones, of Florida, ap- peared. “Ab,” said he with a good deal of digaity, ou may give me ove of those things in’a cup. You know what I mean, Mr: Love.” “Excuse me, Senator, but Vice President Ferry has warned me upon pain of dismis- sal not to sell any liguor to”— “I don'tcare, Mr. Love, what Vice Presi- dent Ferry wante; 1 waut a cup of comfort.” Jones assured him that of course, certain- ly, abem! Why to be sure he would protect Mr. Love if troubie came. The next customer on hand was Senator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Without makiog any roundavoutattem pts to indicate bis wants, by facial or finger gymnastics, he called out:—Fetch me some brandy.” “But ny dear Senator,” said Love, President Ferry”— The Senator, excited —“Oh,d—n Vice Pre- sident Ferry. Bring me some brandy, and I gon’t want any tea cup business about it. You may bring me the jug.” Love saw that Simon meant business, and, without exacting any promise of protection, the Pennsylvania Senator got the jug, and as he sought from it such exhileration as it gave, he no doubt muttered wo himself his i orite expression, “This is a hell of a ime.” Vice ————~+e —__ The Presiden Western Tour. HIS SPEECH AT DAYTON YESTERDAY. The Presidential party, consisting of Pres- ident and Mrs. Hayes, General Carroll, General Buckland, and other friends, left Frewont in a special coach yesterday morn- ing. The train stopped only at the most im- porlant stations, al every one of which hun- reds of people had gathered to see the Pres- ident, and endeavor to shake him by the had. At Carey the party was joined by Hon. Charles Foster. At Spriugtiéld a vast number of people had assembled at the de- pot, fo Whom the President said afew word! ply referring to his sp of last Jan- 'Y, and stating thal he was endeavoring in all thfulness to carry out the policy it foreshadowed. As the train moved off cheer after cheer was given by the people. As the train entered Dayton cannons were fired and @ constant cheering was kept up by thou- sands of people who had (merece around the depot, and for squares along the route to Mr R C.
