GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS TO-DAY.—Internal revenue, $259,161.33; customs, $359,829.22, SUBSCRIPTIONS to the tour per cent. loan to- day amounted to $50,000. +EN, SHERMAN has ued orders inviting the attention of officers of the army to the re- cently passed law of Congress providing that it shall not be lawful to employ eid part of the aimy asa posse comitatus or otherwise, ex- cept as authorized by the Constitution or act of Congress. The order explains the constitu- tional provision and the several acts of Con- gress understood as being excepted from the operations of the law in question. SECRETARY SHERMAN, who arrived in New York Tuesday, accompanied by his steno- grapher, A. J. Babcock, spent several hours at the sub-treasury yesterday. It was rumored there that ‘his visit was to e nine into some charges of remiss- ness preferred agamst some of the sub- ple! ofiicials. This rumor, however, was emphatically denied by the officials. A’ tele- gram from New York s “The Secretary was in private consultation with a number of the heads of the sub-treasury department, and his business is evidently of an important char- acter.” GEN. SHERIDAN’s VIsiT to the Black Hills country has led to the impression that he is to personaliy direct the Indian campaign. The facts are that Congress made an appropria- tion for the e: vlishment of a military post in the Bla Hills country. Being unable to select a site for this fort by meansof corre- spondence, Gen. Sheridan suggested a tour of inspection to settle the matter. This was ap. proved. Col. Bacon will accompany him as military attache, SE IN THE NEw YORK COLLECTOR he President today removed Gen. A. Arthur, collector of customs at New York, and appointed Gen. @. A. Merritt, the present survevor of the port, in his stead’ He also removed the Hon. A. B. Cornell. naval officer, and appointed Hon. Silas W. Burt, present naval ollicer.

COUNTERFEITER CAPTURED.—Levi Logan alias Conway has been captured by a secret ice operative, and is in jail awaiting trial incennes, Ind. He is charged with passing counterfeit #1) bank notes.

THE MicnicaN DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION met at Detroit yesterday. Dr. Foster Pratt was chosen permanent chairman. Resolutions were passed arraigning the republicans for their corruction in office, class legislation, cre- ation of Monopolies, debt and burdensome taxation, and destruction of commerce and business generally; indorsing the electoral fraud investigation; declaring that gold and silver coin are the money of the Constitution, and that all paper money should be convertible into such coin at the will of the holder: op- posing further forcible reduction of the volume of the currency; favoring reduction of state and national taxation, and congratulating the country on the reduction of over $50,000,000 in the national expenditure during the last four years, and which result was secured by the Gemocratic House of Represenatives. State officers were nominated, the candidate for governor being Orlando M.

Thé roof oi the Western Maryland engine house. the roof and smokestack of the flouring mili, part of the First Reformed Church steeple, the roof of the Franklin House, aud various other buildings were carried away. Fortunately, no person was injured during the fifteen minutes that the storm lasted. THE NEw Commissioners of the District of Columbia announce that they are actively en- gaged in maturing plans for the improvement. of the streets of Washington and the paving of its many suburban avenues. It would be well if they would drop the latter portion of this programme, and confine themselves en- tirely to the repair of those thoroughfares in the city proper which are so sadly in need of such attention.—[N. ¥.
