ThE MARQUIS DE MANRTILLA, minister to the United States, will leave Wash- “‘ngton shortly for Spain ona two months leave ofabsence. He has pre.ented to the Secretary of State bis first secretary of legation, Count Bruneit:, who will act as charge d'affaires during bis abserce. JUsTICE HARLAN, of the U. S. Supreme left the city to-day for Newport, where he will sit to hear arguments in a railway case of importance. Ex-Governor Hendricks, Stanley Matthews, and other western lawyers of note will argue before him. THE TALLAPoosa left at twelve o’clock to- day for the coast navy-yards. It was rumored that she had gone to the assistance of the Wyoming, which was spoken at sea a day or . bound for Washing.en from Havre, short of coal. Inquiry at the Navy Depart: went failed to confirm the rumor, it being posi- hi erely left on one of her trips along the coast. x£he Wy- oming, though she may be shoic of Coal, is per- fectly able to preceed without any dificulty under sail. Mr. Wess C. Hayes, who is now at the family home in Fremont, Ohio, will not return to the eity before next winter, if then. Early | in the fall he will be married to a young lady of Fremont, and will settle in that place. The lady’s name fs not known here outside the White House. The coming groom is the Pre: dent's second son ; he is about 23 years of age, is beardless, and wears eye- es. During his stay in Washington he made a large aum- ber of friends. At times he has acted as the President's pri a d has b an very popular with all who have had business to transact through him. VIEWING THE BATTLE-FIELD.—Professer Garduer, recorder of the Fitz John Porter board of inquiry, and General T. C. H. Smith have returned from their tour of inspection of Bull Run battlefield. The trip was taken by Professor Gardner for the purpose of familiar- izing himself, with the topography of the ground occupied by Fitz John Porter and the confederate forees opposed to him, in order that he might intelligently cross-examine wit- nesses testifying in relation thereto. It_is more than probable that the board of inquiry into Porter's case will, before rendering its final decision, also visit the place and go eare- fully over the whole scene of the engagement. GENERAL SHEPMAN, accompanied by Gen- eral Alexander McCook. left the city last evening, for a visit to the Navajo Indians in New Mexico. Some years ago Genera! Sher- man made a treaty with these Indians when they have been progressing in ci a- tion and been peaceable, and have generally gotten along very well. General Sherman goes out there to revisit them and see if any- Uning lurther can be done for their good. UNDER INSTRUCTIONS from this city the post o‘tice authorities at San Francisco are maku — preparations to transport: $7,000.00) in gold from there to New York as third-class mail matter.

OWING TO THE FAILURE in May last of the appropriation to print specificationsthe Patent Office has been behind time ever since in the sending out of patents.“ Oniinarily they are sent two weeks from date of issue, but within the period mentioned as mueh as four or five weeks have elapsed in some instances befor a patent could besent. This has been an an- noyence both to the office and to the inventors. By extra labor the work has at lasi been brought up to date, and the patents of this week's issue_wi!! be sent out two weeks from this time. This is good news to inventors as well as to every official in the Patent Office. The work of reprinting exhausted patents, which has been temporarily neglected, in the effort to bring the printing of new issues up to date, may now be taken up. WHAT THE NEW Naval REGISTER Snows. The annual register of the officers of United States Navy has just been issued by the De- partment. ‘It shows that of the regular, or “line” officers, there are in the service S11. This numoer is composed of 1 admiral viee-admiral, 11 rear-admirals, 25 commodores, ¥) captains, 89 com: manders, $1 lieutenant commanders, 25) lieutenants, 10) masters, $3 ensigns, 44 midshipmen, and 79 cadet midshipmen,who have gone through the Naval Academy, and are low eee two years’ service at sea prior to final graduation. Of other officers there are 175 in the medical corps. 126 in the ay Corps, 252 in the engineer corps, 24 chap- lains, 12 professors of mathematics, 11 naval onstructors, 9 civil engineers, 53 boatswains, gunners, © carpenters, 1) sailmakers and si mates. ‘The above includes only the officers who are on the active list.

In ad- dition to this number there ‘are at the Navai Academy,and who hope to be oflicers some ay, 237 cadet_midshipmen and 73 cadet engi- neers, Singe the last register was issued there have been 5) resignations, three of which were of marine officers and 35 of ca let midshipmen and cadet engineers; the num- ber of dismissals was 1s, 1) oeing cadet mid- shipmen and cadet sugineers. Of deaths there were 59, two being marine officers. On the death list are the uames of Lieutenant A. Simons, Lieutenant L.G. Palmer, Master Wight, Master Walters. French, Ensign o ¥. W. Danner, Surgeon G-S. Culbreth, and Chief Engineer E. M, Olson, who were lost on board the Huron. CIVILIZING THE SHOSHONES.—Levi A. Gheen, farmer in charge of the Western Shoshones, has sent a leticr from Elko, Nevada, to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, giving a de- tailed report of the recent Indian trouble in Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho. The report closes: “I was highly commended by the best class of the white people for my ac- tion all through the irouble, and particularly in sending them out among’ the white people to work, when it was plainly seen that it was dangerous to hold so many Indians together when the excitement was so great; and it would cost at least #5) per day to support them all, and if they were not supported trou- bie was almost sure to occur, there being no doubt but that a certain class of while men who have nothing at stake were anxious to cause trouble with the Shoshones in order that there aie be a chance to make money. The people about the mining towns ard the farmers were very glad to have the indians come back, because they needed their labor, which is cheap and good. Many of these Indiaus are now engaged making hay, chop- ing and hauling wood, and as servants about Rouses and in many other ways are u.efu! and receive fair pay for their labor. The Western Shoshones are peaceable and will remaig so, 1 have every reason to believe.” AEMY ORDERS.—The general of the army will proceed via St. Louis, Mo., and Omaha, Neb., to Denver, Colorado, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, on public dusiness, returning via forts Union and Leavenworth. He will be ac- companied by Col. A. McD. McCook, aide-de- camp. Repoits will be made to the adjutant eneral, as usual, but division commanders iaving occasion to communicate with the general of the army, will address him by tele- raph at Omaha, August 18th, Denver, August Zist, and Santa Fe from September Ist to 15th inclusive.

Spanish J The totai uumver of | The Eclipse of the Moon To-night. ‘There will be a partial eclipse of the moon this evening, visible wherever that body is above the horizon. It is caused by the earth passing between the sun andthe moon. The sun shining upon the earth casts a shadow upon the mcon. This shadow is conical, its base being on the earth and projected into space. Surrounding this is a conical partial shadow, ‘the Penumbra,” whose ba.e is away from the earth. The'eclipse eommences here at foui.een minutes and twenty-four seconds aiter four this afternoon, when the moon enters the Penumbra or outer shadow. The sun being at that hour considerably above the horizon, this phase of the phenomenon can- not beseen. The moon will enter the shadow at 34 minutes and 18 seconds after five. Tne eclipce may then be visible through a sone lass. At eighteen seconds past seven will 2 the middle of the eclipse, plainly to be seen if the weather is favorable. At 25 minutes and 12 seconds past eight the moon leaves the shadow, and at 45 minutes and 6 seconds past nine it leayes the Penumbra or pariial shadow, and the eclip.e is over. The shadow wili pass over the moon from east to west, obscuring about six-tenths of iis surface from the sight. This portion will be what ordinary folks would call the lower part of the moon. Above, the ing four-tenths of the moon's surface will be seen as usual. The eclipse will be ob- served generally by astronomers throughout thecountry. It is not, however, of arty special scientific importance, as eclipses of the moon are of frequent occurrence. They would be more bumerous if the planes of its and the sun’s orbits did not make an angle with the earth. If the two orbits were in the sime plane there would be an eclipse at every full moon, There would also be an eclip.e of tue sun at every new moon. On account of this inclination, however, there can only be an eclipse of either of these bodies when the moon comes within what is technically called the ecliptic limit. In any one year the great- est number of eclipses possible is seven and the least twe. In the former ease five will be solar and two lunar eclipses. In the latter both must be solar. Under no circumstances can there be more than three lunar eclipses in one year, while in some years there are none at all. The latter will te the case next year. A U.S LUMBER AGENT ARRESTED.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office has received the following dispatch from Agent Carter, who has been arrested in Mississipp! City, Miss., on the charge of “conspiracy’ “T gave bail Saturday for my appearance at the November term of the state cireuit courc for Jackson county, Mississippi. The U. 3. attorney notified me that it was impracticable to release me on habeas corpus at this tim», and advised my giving bail.”” THE RECEPTION OF THE CHINESE Em- BASSY, When it arriyes in Washington next September, will not be quite as elaborate and gorgeous as it has been stated it would. The Chinese ambassador and suite will be received by the President and his Cabinet much in the same manner that other foreign ambassadors have Been heretofore. The suite of Chin Lan Pin being larger than that of any other for- eign minister, there will necessarily be more people in the room at thetime. The President and his advisers are not anticipating any great trouble in being able to convince the embassy to take the same view that they maintain on the sublet of Chinese immigra- tion. It is impossible to tell what their in- structions are on this subject from the home overnment, but it is not thought that China is opposed to a limitation of the emigration of her people to this country. Mr. Seward, our Minister to China, will be here at the time of the Embassy’s visit, and will by his experience be able to facilitate the transaction of all busi- ness Letween the representatives of the Un td States and China. FATAL SMASH-Up ON A RatLroap.—A freight train of ten ears on the Baltimore & Ohio rail- road was thrown from the track and badly wrecked sever forenoon at Hood's Mills, Howard county, Md., by runuing over a four- horse teain and wagon which was crossing the track.

VIRGINIA CATTLE FOR ENGLAND.—Our Nor- folk (Va.) correspondent announces the sailing from that port of the British steamer Cather- stone, for Europe, with Southwest Virginia cattle for the European market.

THE CaNAL BREAK.—The Hagerstown Mail learns from Superintendent Stanhope that ten days will probably be required to repair the break in the canal. The distance washed out is from 75 to 80 feet and the depth is 12 feet be- low the bed of the canal. ‘THE CHINESE EMBAssy arrived at Hartford, Conn., Saturday, and were escorted to the building owned by their government in that city. They were received by Yung Wing, the resident Chinese commissioner, who is one of the ambassadors. Thev will remain in pri- vacy, declining any public honors until after presentation to the President next month. A Youxe Lapy Commits SuicrpE.—Yes- terday morning between 10 and llo’clock a young lady named Rosanna Crow, residing near Moundsville, W. Va., while her parents were attending camp meeting about a quarter of a mile from home, went out into the woods, climbed up a large oak tree, tied one end of a rope around her neck and fastened the other end Of it to a stout limb, Jumped off and broke her neck.

General Hunton’s Canvass. THE FALLS CHURCH MEETING, FALis Cuurca, Va. August ‘th, 187.— Editor Star: For some days prior to the Sth instant, there had been notices posted up hereabouts announcing that Geu. Hunton, present representative in Congress from thi: the 8th district, would address the citizens o! the place on the evening of the 8th. The eve- ning came, and Mr. Neile, of Alexandria, the special candidate of that city, was there, and it appears that he was there to speak also. The meeting—an out door one— Was an unusually large one, and as a general fact was an attentive one. Gen. Hunton opened, and reviewed his action in Congress in a very clear, candid, methodical and able speech. It was not an extreme speech ; it was a “conservative”—if that word has any leziti- mate meanin: litics—and at its close he stated that his Alexandria opponent would speak, but before ering way he called for questions from any one who had any to ask. Let me be truthful if I may seem to hurt. Mr. Neile, to appearances, is a a, young man to be hankering for Congress ; indeed, he hasa boyish look, his bearing Is boyish, and he rattles on in a boyish manner, and what he says is ill-considered, in bad taste, and of course injudicious. His treatment’ of Gen. Hunton I'couid not regard otherwise than as discourteous in many respects. He made sport of Gen. H. asa man fruitful of promises, but unfaithful in performances, and then turned around and made the most extraya- ae promises himself. He would get the free ridge bill through Congress the first session of his service. He dweition states rights and southern war claims. ete. When the General came to reply there was some skinning done. Many republicans are petenine the canvass with a good deal of in- terest. I think if Hunton ne: jed their votes to elect him he would get them. LG. A. EXCITEMENT IN FAIRFAX. . Hunter's Mr Farrrax County, VA. August 9th, 187: itor Star: There is great excitement all over Fairfax at the present over the contest which will be d= cided next Satur- day between Hunton and Neile. Although we are sure Hunton will be the nomince by a large majorivy, we expect quite an exciting time at Some of the polls, and perhaps blood- shed, especia"y at Herndon W.H. i THE Bors iN BLUE—Gen. Francis BD. Spin- ner Elected Treasurer.—Gen, Francis E. Spin- ner, of Herkimer, N. ¥., has_just been elected treasurer of the union Veterans’ Union (Boys in Blue”), by the veterans’ national committee, of which Gen. Ulysses S. Grant is chairman, and Col. Drake DeKay secretary. Gen. Spinner, in his letter of acceptance, says: “I fully appreciate the great honor that has been conserred upon me by the Boys in Blue, all of whom I honor and love. I feel gratefully flattered and am proud of their confidence and good will. Please tender to our brave comrades my high regards.” This organiza- tion is different from the association of the “Grand Army of the oe aes in that the “G. A. R.” is a secret society, pledged to ab- stain from politics, while the “Union Vete- rans’ Union,” (known during the campaigns as*‘The Boys in Blue,”) is an open purel political association, embracing all the sol- diers aud sailors of the United States who, having served at any time during the rebel- lion in the army or navy and been honorably discharged, are ge of the principles of the great party which carried on the war and Pprecerved the union. The organization con- sists of town clubs, with county chiefs, and from each state and territory one el ¢t-d member. These members, 49 in number, con- stitute a central “Union Veterans’ National committee,” with headquarters in New York city.—[N. ¥. Sun, sth. REQUISITION FOR KimpToN—Charge of Com- spiracy to Bribe the South Carolina Legisla- ture—Col. J. F. Trentier, chief constable of South Carolina, arrived at Boston Saturday With a requisition for Hiram H. Kimpton. The indictment upon which the requisition is based Gt ie John J. Patterson, NilesG., Par- ker and Hiram H. Kimpton with conspiracy to bribe the South Carolina Legislatur: FOV- ernor Rice has directed a fuil hearing to be had. Counsel to represent the South Caro'ina authorities in the case are District Attorne: N. A. Leonard, of Springfield, and Hon. Josia! G. Abbott, of Boston. Kimpton will be repre- sented by Hon. Daniel H. Chamberlain, ex- governor of South Carolina: M. P. Knowlton, of Springfield, Mass.; Dunbar and Ely, of Westfield, and Hillard, Hyde and Dickinson, of Boston. Kimpton’s counsel say the maicer will be foupnt at every point, and that the case is purely of a political natare ; that the present state government is desirous of revudiating certain bonds that were issued in 1872, whicn bonds have already been scaled down fifty per cent. ; that Kimpton is desired as a witness t» alleged irregularities in their issue, in order that the state may repudiate the balance, and that he has refused to compromise the matier in accordance with negotiations to that effect which the state authorities have been making with Kimpton for the past two months. A SOCIAL SENSATION IN BOSTON.—The elope- ment is reported of Captain James R. Austin and Mrs. John V. N. Stults, of Boston High- lands. Both parties move in high social circles. Austin is captain of the ROSY, City Guard, one of the crack militia companies of Boston, and a member of the firm of Stocking & Aus- tin, insurance agents, No. 2, Post Office Place. He has a wifeand twochildren. Mrs. Stults is. the wife of John V. N. Stults, a wealthy plumber, who has a fine residence on Dale street, opposite Washington Park. The house is surrounded with handsomely laid out grounds, and everyth!: + betokens a home of comfort and luxury. sir. Austin is also we l- to-do, and lives in good style. Captain Austin and Mrs. Stults met frequently at dances and entertainments last wiuter. This acquain‘- ance was continued this Fy ag a summer, Last Wednesday noon Mrs. Stults left he: housé, ‘2k tng nothing with her but the clothes she wore, and not returning Mr, Stults’ sus- icions were aroused. He pute detective on er track, and found her and Austin occ ing a room at a house in the city proper. ‘The door was forced, and the parties confronted but no arrests were made. Austin started im- mediately for New York, and Mrs. Stults soon. followed him from the place. A call at the residence of Mr. Stults elicited the fact that Mrs. Stults had gone to New York, and that her clothes had been sent there. It is also said that Mr. Stults knows where she is, and that Givorce proceedings have been commenced by im. THE GRAND LODGE OF ODD FELLOWS AND. THEIR NEXT MEETING.—The attention of Grand Sire John W, Stokes, of this city, has been engaged lately by a matter of considerable importance to Odd Fellowship. The aues- tion is whether the place of the next session of the Grand Lodge of the United States, 1.0.0. F., shall be changed from Austin, Texas, on account of the yellow fever, to Baltimore. The representatives don’t feel in- clined to serve their constituents inan un- healthy region, as Austinis believed to be, and the grand sire is puzzled as to whether it would be justifiable for him, under the cir- cumstances, to change the place. In a few days the question must be decided. There is no precedent for changing the order of the grand body by the executive officers, but in such an event it would doubtless not be se- riously contested. The peecpal officers are, Grand Sire, John W. Stokes, Philadelphia: Deputy Grand Sire John B. Harmon, of Cali- fornia; Grand Secretary James L. Ridgely, and Grand Treasurer Hon. Joshua Vansant, both of Maryland.—[ Phila, Cor. Balt. Sun. THE YELLOW FEVER PLaGuE.—Rev.

A large lot of valuable articles subject to duty were found carefully stowed away between decks, among them being 30 dozen pairs of kid gioves, co signed to a New York house; iadie cloths, Turkish rugs and_ towels, cosi Italian bronzes, ladies’ underelothi variety, Madeira wine and carpet: now safely stored at New London awaiting appraisement. Commander Phythian could make no better defence than that he was bringing the goods home to oblige brother offi- cers on a foreign station, and that he was. IGNORANT OF THE LAW he was breaking. - Article 12, chapter 161 of the a NAVAL 2 sles for the government of the United States Navy says: No person connected with the navy shall, under any pretence, import ina public vessel any article which is liable to the pay nent of juty. The penalties for violation of this article are specified as cashiering, suspension, loss of pay, ete. The seizure or detention of dutiable goods found upon naval vessels by customs | officers is a comparatively new provision for rotecting the customs service, and was first inaugurated under Collector Simmons’ man- agement. It had, from time immemorial, been considered the correct thing for naval oficers to ng home what they pleased, with tl tacit, though unexpressed, understanding tha no objection would be raised. Captain Snow, of the Boston revenue department, had fre: | quently expressed his conviction that the oiti cers of a man-of-war had no more right to iin. Port goods free than the captain or mate of a merchantman, and in this opinion he was | supported by Coliector Simmons. In order to test the matter (the law previously quoted not Paving then been in existence,) Collector Sim. mons Juniata, which had on board a smali_ quantity of dutiable goods intended for other persons than the officers themselves. The goods were appraised, and the smugglers released upon payment of duties as cost. On the 30th of De- cember, 1577, THE SLOOP-OF-WAR KEARSARGE arrived at this port,ard it discovered that there were on board about 170 paekages of du- tiable goods, consisting of valuable Turkish rugs, silks, satins, octaves of brandy and wine, cigars, Japanese lacquer work, fine decorated china, ete. In addition to all this nearly every | man on board had an elegant punch-bowl, be- sides a large number of articles which were sent home by oflicers at the Asiatic stations. All these oe were retained by the officers, and a legal seizure was made on the 4th day of February, 1878. The seizure, it will be remem- bered, caused intense excitement and commo- tion in naval circles, as, up to this time, no customs official had dared to board a govern- ment ship or enter a nayy yard in search of dutiable goods. The goods seized on board the Kearsarge were VALUED AT ABOUT $10,000, and a release was effected by the payment of duties, by the order of the Secretary of the Navy. A standing order now exists to the effcct that all government vesseis shall report to the collector of the port, or the proper cus- bed officer, immediately on entering any arbor. As an instance of the wholesale smuggling which was carried on, it is shown that the duties on a large number of octaves of bran- dy taken from the Kearsarge amounted to #70 er pee while one man had in his cabin ive Turkish rugs, which were appraised at 37.0. It is estimated that this phase of high- toned smuggling, dating as it does almost from the establishment of the foreign naval service, has defrauded the government out of many hundred thousand dollars. — [Boston Herald, sth. A Superb Collection of Arms. CURIOSITIES FOR THE SMITHSONIAN INSTI- Tr ‘ON. The thirteenth room at the exhii Par! filled with a selection of M armor; there are about five aundre out of a collection of sevea thousand. Theoe it is the intention of Mr. Riggs to. give to the Smithsonian Institutioa at Washingion. On a pedestal in the mid@le of the room is a suit of armor for man and horse belonging to the Giank Duke Mareus AntoniusColonna, grand constable of Naples; it was presented t> him by Philip IL. This suit came from the Sol- tyKoff collection, and was originally gilt. mong a very fine collection of heimets is one covered with elaborate engraved orna- ment, with indications of gilding, and bears @ mopogram, Alvarez de Toledo. Auotier of the same style has the arms of Ferdinand, ‘and duke of Tyrol, afterward emperor of Germany. A fine sixteenth century helmet of historic interest is one belonging to a Tre- mouille; there is a helmet of the Scotch body guard and a row of salades from the twelfth to the fifteenth century; two brigantines, in fine preservation, one green, belonging to Amadeus VI., date 1359, another red, made for Bartolomeo Colleone, are im- portant. Among the two-handed swords, we notice a very ana one, with the Austrian arms, and another of the fourteenth centui which belonged to Malatesta, lord of Riming, Near this is a Scotch shield, sixteenth century, which belonged to Sir Walter Scott, and given by him to Prince Soltykoff. Among the his- torical swords are some which belonged to Henri lil. and IV. of France; a state Sword of noble design, with Leo X. pont Max III. engraved on ‘it}_a Toledo sword, with niello hilt, is severe in form, and several other blades of the same place, with open work, are of great beauty; with the swords may be mentioned a trophy of Langues de Boeuf, or Anlaces. There is here ‘one of those singular swords with a wheel-lock pistol on the blade, aud two grand snes bueklers of the body guard of Henry VIIL, with on. sin the center. Connected with Henry iii, is the jupe from his suit now in the tower; belonging to his rival, Francois [., is a powder-horn. Among the shields, there are three of great artistic importance, one from Pieces the design of Giulio Romano, another painted | in grisaiile of the sixteenth century ; the third, of the same period, is embossed leather. A number of these pieces were brought from the Meyi.ck and Soltykofl collections. There are also @ complete tilting and battle armor, en- graved: a pair of elaborate wheel-lock pistols, which belonged to Henry II., of France; the cross-bow and quarrels of the elector of Saxony and king of Poland, Augustus the Stong, and a pair of harness bossets in Limoges enamel. The chief importance of this gather- ing is its completeness from an historical point of view, but the majority of the objects are not less remarkable from an artistic point of view.—[London Atheneum KEARNEY’S ADDRESS AT LYNN, Mass.—After expressing his regrets that the clerk of the weather was not more propitious, he said he wanted the workingmen of Lynn totake up the new battle cry of the Atlantic states: “The lecherous bondholder and mortgage smasher must go.” The battle cry of the Pa- cific is: ** The Chinese must go,” and we want, he said, the missing link to forged by the workingmen.
