He will proceed to the scene of the second battle of Bull Run, and_ personally in- et the topography of the ground upon which e decision of the board may turn. JN THE RECENT ACCIDENT on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis railroad, though the postal cars were a total wreck, the mails are all sare. APPLICATIONS are being continually received at the Post Office department for information on the subject of a reward which the govern- ment is supposed to have offered for oid post- age stamps. How this idea ever arose and spread as it has, is a mystery. ANOTHER QUICKENED CoNSCIENCE.—The Treasury department has received #10, in an envelope postmarked New York, from an un- — party, to be credited to the conscience fund. Tne DEMAND FOR FouR PER CENTS.—A letter was received at the Treasury yesterday from a rum-seiler in the western part of New York, complaining that a previous communi- cation, addressed to the Honorable Secretar of the Treasury, had not been acknowledged, and giving it as his opinion that Treasury officials generally were a set of frauds. He closed by saying that he had intended sub- scribing for fifty dollars worth of the new four er cents, but that now he would be d—d if he id. Dna eas he above there has been no perceptible falling off in the subserip- tions to the new bonds, but on the contrary, @ steady increase is noted, and it is now be- lieved at the Treasury that the subscriptions for August will reach twenty-five million dol- lars. Many of these subscriptions come in small sums, which makes the aggregate of the woik to be performed in the bond division very heavy. Up to the present time this wor has been kept weli in haad by General Dan Baker and his assistants. NEW MEXICAN OUTLAWS.—A dispatch has been received by the Secretary of the Interior from Gov. 5. B. Axtell, of New Mexico, which say: Telegraphic information has just been received from Indian Agent Godfroy that a portion of McSween’s band of outlaws attack- ed the Mescalero (Apache) agency, Lincoln county, on the 5th instant, murdered Bern stein, the agent's chief clerk, and stole all the zovernment horses and some belonging to the ndians. The Indians are fighting the outlaw. to protect their property. There is dange that Godfroy will be murdered and other out rages committed.” THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS have ad- dressed a communication tothe Secretary of the Treasury, asking for an explicit opinion as tothe relations between the District and general governments under the new bill. The matter will be referred to Solicitor Raynor, who willexamine into the question and report the result, in the form of an opinion, to the Secretary. THE ARMY OF NOTARIES REINFORCED.—The President has appointed the following notaries public for the District of Columbia:—Holmes C. Ofley, Edward C. Ingersoll, D. M. Ogden, John Bull, Jacob W. Ker, John M. Young, John T. Armes, Samuel L. Mattingly, Milton C. Barnard, James L. Edwards, Geo. Y. Coffin, Jenkin Thomas, Robert V. Hughes, and J. W. Hamilton Johnson. NEw GOVERNORS OF TERRITORIES APPOINT- ED.—Mason Brayman, who has served as gov- ernor of Idaho, from July, 1576, has been sus- pened by the President, and John P. Hoyt, he present governor of Arozona,appointed in his stead. Gen. Fremont is now on his way to Arizona, to assume his duties as governor of thatterritory. For some time past there has been much bickering and bitter feeling be- tween Gov. Brayman and the Secretary of Idaho, Mr. Curtis, and it has resulted in the removal of both. The President and Secre- tary Schurz haye been kept fully informed of the causes that have now led to these results. Gov. Hoyt was romney secretary of Arizona, and then pape of that territory, succeed- ing A. P. K. Safford. THE FOLLOWING OPINION hasbeen rendered by the Solicitor of the Treasury on an appli- cation of the owners of the steamers Denmark aud England to compromise the suits now oe them for smuggling at the port of New York:—“I have the honor to re- turn herewith the papers in the matter of an offer submitted by the National line of steam- ships to pay ten thousand dollars as a compro- mise of the claims involved in the proceedin; pending at New York for the forfeiture of the steamers Denmark and England, which pee << were commenced under sections 2372 and 2874 of revised statutes, on the charge that merchandise beyond the value of four hundred dollars was landed from the vessels without a permit. In these cases I understand the [on to be abundant and conclusive that goods beyond the value mentioned were smug- fled into this country on board the steamers y officers and capers of the company. ido not think, therefore, there can be mucl doubt as to the liability of the vessels to for- feitures according to the provisions of the statute, or as to the ability of the government to maintain that forfeiture in court as_ will justify the acceptance of the proposal of the compromise. Such acceptance would amount Substantially to a remission of the forfeitures, and it seems to be uw on the ground prin- cipally of the innocence and want of knowl- edge on the part of the claimants of the fraud- ulent transactions of its officers, agents and employes. 1 think the claimants should be left to their remedy under the remitting power of the Secretary of the Treasury, and I decline therefore to recommend the acceptance of the Proposal.” THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.—It is not likely that the joint Washington monument commission can be gotten together at an early date to consider Col. Casey's report. Mr. Cor- coran, Mr. Hill and General Humphries are absent, leaving the President and Mr. Clarke eee city. iS re; as im) le work before some time in September. Mean- while, nothing whatever is being done on the monument. A copy of the report of Vol. Casey has been tent to Mr. Corcoran, who is at the White Sulphur Springs. The idea is, before resuming work on the monument, to have the Plan for finishing it thoroughly discussed, anc with such changes as may be deemed advisa- ble, adopted, and every detail arranged, so that when work is n it shall be with every thing ready to go right ahead without any de- lay or stops. ARMY ORDERS.—By direction of the Secre- tary of War, Second Lieut. Dan. C. Kingman, Corps of engineers, will in person to the commanding department of West Point, for “uty in the departmént of civil and military engineering at the States Avademy, War on a Wyoming Judge. WHY HE IS OBNOXIOUS TO THE FRONTIERSMEN An effort is being made to remove Mr. E. P. Johnson, district attorney for the territory of Wyoming, and a counter effort is making to put out Judge Peck, of that territory. Mr. Johnson is the author of the bill which passed the Wyoming legislature depriving Judge Peck of the territorial judiciary, of any juris- diction whatever. A measure to throw aside this bill was passed by the Senate at its las session, but through the influence of Delegat Corlett was killed in the House. This leave the territory in quite a fix regarding judiciar matters. It has three judges and a suprem court for appeals from their decisions. Thi court consists of the three judges themselves guage Peck having been deprived of jurisdic tion is now on leave of absence, and Wyoming ean have no supreme court. The objections that the people out there have to him are rather peculiar. He is a great temperance ad- vocate, a staunch Presbyterian and somewhat of a stickler for the modes and requirements of polite life. He is also fond of pushing his opinions on these subjects to the front on all occasions. He will not, for instance, eat at the same table of his hotel with the ordinary Wyomingites, they say, and turns up his nose at drinkers, in a country where almost every- Dody drinks. He is, consequentiy, very un- popular with the hardy frontiersmen, and they oiten get up anti-Peck meee and Demonstrations, with a capital D. At the former he is denounced for his peculi- arties and as Liaise no. law, while at the latter the favorite pastime is to burn him in effigy. The folks out there say they will do him no bodily harm ifhe comes back, but they will not have him for a judge. The fight against him is growing very warm, but he is sou posed to have the President on his side, while District Attorney Johnson has the fron- tiersmen on his. The affair will have to be settied soon, as Wyoming must have a judici- ary. A sory of how the judge runs things on the bench is told by a man who wants him ousted. An individual before his honor gave the name of Shidrick. “That's not your name,” yelled the judge, ‘But it is,” persist- ed the man; “T ought to know.” sae it is not,” retorted the judge, growing slightly purple.“ Yours is a Biblical name. It is Shadrach—S-h-a-d-r-ae-h. I guess I know something about the Bib! COMMODOKE SCHUFELDT, chief of the bu reau of equipment and rep: has returned from California. THE ALABAMA TIMBER PrRaTES.—Timber Commissioner C. H. Hunter,of Alabama, sends word to the Interior department from Mont- that a timber depredator, Green D. in, who has recently been committed to jail on a plea of guilty, informed him that he (Franklin) was within one hundred yards of Agent McCormack and heard the shot when the latter was fired upon some four months since. Franklin says he found McCormack’ saddle-bags in the woods, containing official papers, &c. When arrested he had in his pos- session a fine pistol, which the commissioner is satisfied belongs to McCormack. Commis- sioner Hunter suggests that if McCormack would return he could not only recover his pis- tol but find out who attempted to kill him, and other facts which might throw light on the timber depredators in that vicinity. The letter concludes: “I have bound over several par- ties, and the district attorney is about to seize Se million feet of lumber cut from public lands.” NavVAL ORDERS.—Master Charles E. Fox is ordered to duty on the coast survey, 25th inst. Midshipman Clifford J. Boush to the receiving ship Franklin, at Norfolk. Ensign John W. Stewart to duty on the coast survey. Ensign Frank E. Sawyer from the receiving ship Franklin, and ordered to duty-on the coast survey. A SELF-SACRIFICING PaTRIaT DIsAPPOINT- Ep.—A New Yorker writes to the Postmaster General: “According to our papers here there are but few applicants for the minor positions in your department, therefore I trust you grant me the liberty of offering myself as an applicant, to fill any position in any paii of the Union, for $1200 to $100 per annum; 1 have but little, if any, political influence, but my mercantile references cannot be surpassed. Trusting that I may hear from you at no di tant period,” &c. An answer to this self-sacri ficing proposition was sent this afternoon. It is to the effect that the minor positions which the Postmaster General finds a difficulty in filling are postmasterships, where the salary is $12 a year, with no chance to speculate in stamps. “Where the salary is ashigh as #25 pe annuum, there is no lack of applicants. CONGRESSIONAL NoMINATIONS.—Gen. R. L. T. Beale was yesterday nominated for Cor gress by the democrats of the first oa istrict. Among his opponents was the Hon. Beverly B. Douglass, the present incumbent. ....The democrats have renominated Alvan A. Clark for Congress in the fourth New Jer- sey district. The second Louisiana dis- trict democrats have nominated E. John Ellis for Congress. Ohio district ted Congress. ....The republicans of the ninth Illinois district have renominated Thomas A. Boyd for Congress. Five REAL LIVE AMERICAN INDIANS are now taking views afoot in Paris. They are tall, powerful men, with regular features. They appear in the tribal costume of the far west, which is very scant, consisting of a few beads here and there, and some colored feathers in their back hair. THE EQUALITY OF THE SEXES has been oflicially recognized at Paris :n the composi- tion of a jury which will decide on the merits of the mustard of various nations. The mus- tard congress will consist of twelve gentlemen and twelve ladies, the suggestion having been made that men’s palates are vitiated by smok- ing, and that women are likely to have a nicer appreciation of condiments. ARREST OF ALLEGED TRAIN ROBBERS.— Abel and Jesse Good, and a man named Gost, white, and a colored man-named Brown, have been arrested and lodged in a at Mounds- ville, West Va., charged wit Having stolen several hundied dollars’ worth of goods a sent train on the Baltimore ani road. from Ohio rail- WESTERN FREIGHT RiTES.—At a meeting at Long Branch, N. J., of representatives of 13 trunk and Western railway lines, yesterday, the rate of freight for cattle trom western points to the seaboard was fixed on the basis of 60 cents from Chicago to New York. YELLOW FEVER AND SMALL POX IN HAva- Na.—The Havana, Cuba, official report shows that deaths from yellow fever and 63 from small pox occurred In that city during the month of July. ‘THREATENED INDIAN RAID IN ARIZONA.— There is considerable excitement at_ Yuma, Arizona, over a threatened raid by Indians, who have recently gathered in numbers in the vicinity of that town, encouraged by the absence of troops, sent to Idaho, and inflamed. with whisky surreptitiously furnished them. hd citizens are guarding approaches to the own. THE ELECTION IN ALABAMA on Monday fr State and county oflicers resulted in an over- whelming democratic victory, even the former republican strongholds havi 4 gone demo- cratic by large majorities. The colored men in large numbers all over the state worked and voted with the democrats. Yet nobody who knows ans of southern politics is very much astonished. _ THE WINNERS at the Rochester (N. Y.) trot- ting races of yesterday were Lucille and Sweetzer. The first heat in the second race was won by Sleepy George in the remarkable time of 2:15. Only one heat in the third race was trotted, it being postponed until to-mor- row. ‘The heat was won by Edwin Forrest in Yas ————— A “ VictIM OF POLITICAL PERSECUTION.”— H. H.

Gene! Washingtonians at Shenandoah Alum Springs. [Correspondence of The Star.] SHENANDOAH SPRINGS, VA., August 6, 1873. Editor Star:—Sir: In the absence of our fair correspondents, Mrs. Neally and her accom- plished daughter ‘‘ Nemo,” who left here this morning for a tour through Hardy and Hamp- shire counties, (Capon Springs, &c..) I feel some delicacy in assuming the role of corres. pondent, but will say, for the information of the “loved ones at home,”’ that we have quite a select party up here in this delightful moun- tain retreat, from Washington as weil as Balti- more, among them Mr. J. F. Maguire and lady, son and daughter, Master Fiank Maguire is quite a favorite with the ladies. His perform- ance on the piano, singing, &c., in connection with Prof. Saunders’ organ and Mr. Kave- naugh’s violin, is quite a treat, as well as a feature in| our parlor entertainments. Mr. and Mrs. F.S. Williams and their little daugh- ter Lena, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Brown and two children, from our city, take an active part in all the plays, games, &c., [pa up for the eneral happiness, as well as many other dies and menue from Washington and Baltimore. We are pleased to add to Wash- ington’s quota the arrival of the charming Mrs. Sterling and her son within the last day ortwo. They will become great favorites, no doubt. Also, R. I.

Babbitt, of Philadelphia, under date of 30th July, says the phy ns endeavor to keep quiet about the prevalence of the yellow fever, and succeeded measurably for three weeks or more, until it had broken out in four or five different parts of the city, when the truth could be concealed no longer. This corres. pondent continues: ‘Then ensued a panic such as is rarely witnessed. The people left in crowds by évery possible mode of conveyance, but there is still abundance of new material for the plague to work: upon, and we all know from its being so widespread that neither car- bolic acid nor anything else can stay its pro- gress. It will proye a great calamity to our commerce.” . The New Orleans Times of the 2d inst., re- ports that yery many children are being at- ‘acked by yellow fever in that city, and re- marks: “The health authorities say that the time-honored theory that natives are exempt from the disease is exploded by actual expe ence. They state that the reason why chi dren of tender years are attacked now is be- cause this is the first time since their birth they have been liable to attack. Not since 1867 las the disease been feneral, and many now sick were born since then. The sporadic cases that have occurred within the last eleven years were confined to specific localities and kept within restricted limits by disinfection. Chil dren, although residents Of the city, remained away from the infected districts, and, of course, were no more liable than they would te in the mountains. It is believed by the health authorities that every resident of the city must_pass through some species of aceli- mation. In the case of some children the di ease is So masked that it is impossible to di nose it, and in their opinion the reason why si many children are sick now is because for the first time in their lives the atm ‘ities mM an UD. answerable demonstration of the beneficial re- Sults of carbolization, stating that in every locality where carbolic acid has been freely sprinkled the disease was checked. Constance street, near Race, is cited as an example: the neighborhood of the Commercial hotel is given as another instance. The sanitary authorities are promptly disinfecting every locality where the disease makes its appearance, and hope in the end to accomplish its suppression.” A BALTIMOREAN CHARGED WITH OUTRAGE. Julus L. Engel, employed as a clerk in Rose! feld Bro.’s, at Baltimore street and Center Market space, was arraigned before Justice Johns at the central police station, yester¢ upon the charge of having outraged the per: of Mrs. Maggie Miller, who was employed by him asa house servant. Engel is a marred man, and has a wife and several children re- siding at 124 Granby street. The woman who brings the charge against Engel is a widow, whose husband died several years ago, an who is without relatives or friends in Balti- more. , considered with the fact of her being nearly deaf and of weak mind, renders her a special object of pity. She is a smail Woman, of evident German extraction, and seemed deeply affected by her situation when giving her testimony before Justice Johns yes- terday. Mrs. Lewis Knoche, residing on the corner of Granby street and Central avenue, testified that Mrs. Miller told her of the out- rage on the day it was committed, ana that she gdvised her when her month was up to come and live with her; this Mrs. Miller did. Lewis Knoche tstified that when he found that Miller was enciente he told Engle of it, a the latter said: “ Well, if that is so, send her to the doctor on High street, to be operated on, and I te the cost.” Engel denied the charge as entirely untrue. Justice Johns re- leased him on ¥ bail for a further hearing on Tuesday, Au 3.—[ Bait. Gazette, 7th. THE PEACH Crop 4 FaILuRe.—The ship- meuts of peaches from Delaware to this city will not be as large this season as they have been in former years. The largest crop of eaches ever gathered in Delaware was grown in the year 18/5. During that season the daily receipts of that fruit in this city were upward of 150 car-loads per day. The greatest number of car-loads received during the past week Was 19, which reached this cityon Thursday last. Less than 6) car-loads of peaches have been shipped by rail from the states of Dela- ware znd Maryland this season. There were double that number received in this market on the first Tuesday in August last year. The prospect is that less than one-tenth the usual crop will be harvested this year—[N. ¥. wines. A SCENE IN THE HOUSE OF CouMoNs.—A London dispatch says an exciting scene oc- curred in the house of commons a few even- ings since, During Col. Staiitey’s sveech in rererence to the reserves, Major O'Gorman repeatedly cheered derisively, and when called to order by the speaker he insisted upon his right to cheer at all times, and refused to apologize. The speaker thereupon formally “named” him. Major O'Gorman then left the house, on the speaker’s order to withdraw. The house will take into consideration the major’s conduct. It is stated that Major O'Gorman’s conduct was due to the fact of his smarting under a sense of personal wrong, Col. Stanley having unjustly refused Major O’Gorman’s son promotion. Rey. G. D. .MAcKay, the representative in Formosa of the Canada Presbyterian mission, was married on the 27th of May at the British consulate, in Tamsul, to a young native of northern Formosa, named Chang Mia Tsong. The lady is said to be clever, and she is, of course, a convert to Christianity. Mr. Mackey is the first of his order, according to the China Mail, who has taken a native wife. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A Boy.—Chas. Ayton, 9 years of age, son of J. ©. Ayton, of Point of Rocks, Md, on Tuesday evening went to the mill of G. W. Snauffer, near by, and in cross. ing one of the water wheels he made a mis- step and fell over the wheel, his head striking amall, mashing his skull and breaking his neck, causing his instant death. THE SENATORIAL ConTsst in Missouri nat- urally leads to some harsh expressions by the newspapers concerning the rival candidates. Of Hon. Geo. Vest the Houston (Mo.) Demo- erat says: “ He is a first-rate sort of a fellow— one of the best stump speakers in the state and as witty as Mercutio, but he is not the man for the United States Senate. In the mantle of Tom Benton he would look like a arias in the overcoat of a Brobdigna- gian.” A MILLIONAIRE’s WILL.—The will of the late John Lockitt, the wealthy Brooklyn (New York) pork ed who died last week, two days aiter his marriage to his second wife, has been presented for probate. It bears date une 18,1873. His estate at that time was valued at $1,000,000. He ees 80 per cent. of his income to his wife Elizabeth, now deceased ; to his sister Elizabeth 10 per cent. and to his brother Enoch a similar amount together with a few small bequests. The in- terest in his business he leaves to his nephews is subsequent marriage without revising this will promises to lead to some curious legal complications. 4#-The Southern Pacific railroad is shaded from a continuous line of cottonwood trees panied for telegraph poles.

A single-scull boat race for the “fat men’s” champion gold medal was rowed emt on Newtown creek, near New York. The only entries were James Hagan, weight 260 pounds, and Edward Jones, 276 pounds. " The distance was three miles, with a turn. The contestants rowed in 19foot working boats. The race was closely contested, and the athletes rowed side by side until both fouled. Hagan, how- ever, drew clear, took the lead and won amid loud cheers. Time, 27 minutes and 30 seconds. | A large crowd witnessed the contest, and there was much merriment over the struggle. Jones was dissatisfied, and challenged Hagan to row again for a side. THE NORTHWEST ROWING REGATTA. Yesterday was the first day of the north- west rowing regatta, at Detroit, Mich. The first race, for junior double scuils, one mile and return, was between Alexander and Arm- strong, of the Wah-Wah-Sums, of East $ inaw, and Kaney and Taylor, of the Undine: of Toledo. ‘The race was won by the Wai Wah-Sums in 15:53!5. In the senior single scull race only Yates, of Grand Haven, and Falker, of Fort Wayne, started. Yates’ ‘steli filled and swamped when about half way up the course, owing to the heavy sea, and the shell and rower were taken aboard the police boat.

Wood, | Q Washington avenue, Brooklyn, yeste: day, and after begging her not to be fright- ened, told her by degrees that her husband, who is in the stationery business in this city, had got into trouble with one of his clerks and ina passion siapped his face. He had been arrested and fined $80, all of which he had ex- cept $14, and that suin the visitor desired. Mrs. Wood at once asked why he didn’t get the money from his partner? “Oh, he had ‘one out of town,” the visitor said. “Way didn’t he draw a check?” Mrs Wood persist- ed. “Well, the fact is,” the visitor replied, “he had already overdrawn his account.” “Well,” Mrs. Wood said, “if he needs only $14 I will go right over and get him out myself.” “Ob, I wouldn’t do that,” he said; “Tilget the money and attend to it, and he will come right home.” Mrs. Wood prepared to leave the house, and her visitor, though nervous, tried be merry, and said that he would see her then in New York.

CoUNCIL OF Episcopal BrsHops.—It is of some interest to Episcopalians to know that the presiding bishop has issued a circular, ad- dressed to ail the bishops at home and abroad, dwelling upon the great importance of the presence of as many of them as possible, to render a majority certain when they meet in Grace church chapel, in New York, at noon, on the 28th instant. The particular occasion which calls these right reverend fathers to- gether is not specified in the circular, but itis well understood that it relates tothe recent resignation, under peculiar circumstances, of Bishop McCoskrey, of Michigan.

A FARMER ASSAULTED AND BRUTALLY BEATEN BY A NEGRKO.—Another outrage ee a negro tramp is to be recorded, this time in Bal- timore county, and the victim an old and re- spected farmer. William Paul, living on Vin- egar hill, within two miles of the Relay sta- tion, on the Baltimore and Ohio road, was on Tuesday evening the victim of a most out- Tageous assault by a negro tramp. The black rufian grappled with him and struck his vic- tim several blows with the ironed end of the handle of a pitchfork. The old man feil to the ground and the tramp believing that he had killed him fled. Assistance was summoned and the wounded and insensible man was car- ried into the house and a messenger dis- atcbed for Dr. Arthur Williams, of Eikridge Landing. The doctor found that Mr. Paul was seriously injured and that one of his ribs had been broken. Heexperienced great difliculty in breathing, which leads the doctor to the be- lief that he has sustained internal injuries which willresult in his death. News of the outrage spread rapidly and a party, headed by Mr. Paul’s son, started in Pursuit of the would be murderer. Several of the pursuing party were armed with shotguns and pistols and in view of the excitement, in the event ot his capture, it is not likely that he will be taken before a justice of the peace. About the latter part of 1875 a daughter of Mr. Paul was fatally shot by George Leib, who became jeal- ous of a rival suitor to the young lady’s hand. Leib is now doing the state service in the pen: itentiary, to which institution he was sen- tenced for a term of years.—[ Balto. Gazette.

Considering the amount of information and humor Butler can crowd into a brief inter- view, the price 1s very much in accord with the general depreciation of values, and Gen. Butler will need to see that Kearney and his secretary divide the profits of these neat com- mercial transactions with some sort of fair- ness. He ou; ue be entitled to the widow's ja. Times.
