THe DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE to-day sent off its first batch of documents for use inthe fallelections. The republican com- mittee is ahead in this respect by some six weeks. It is also sending off cart loads of speeches, ete., to nearly every cross-road in the country. The democratic committee not having as much bees Ga opponent will not ge into the document business on such a large Seale. It will content itself with supplying the public speakers of the party in the difieren States with ammunition, one part of which will be a pretty full resume of the testimony before the Potter committee, “Tue Cry Is, STILL THEY ComE”—No- TARIES PuBLic.—The President has made further appointments as notaries public for the District as follows: George W.

CLAIMS OF DISTRICT WOREINGMEN UNDER THE LaTE ACT OF CONGRESS.—The following regulations for the presentation of claims un- der the act of Congress making an appro pria- tion for the mane of workingmen in the District of Columbia, have been issued by First Controller of the Treasury Porter and First Auditor Reynolds: “Only claims for ser- vices rendered under contractors whose ac- counts had been paid prior to June 23, 1874, can be received under this appropriation. All claims must be filed in the office of the First Auditor of the Treasury fest eee on or before the first day of December, 13) n pre- senting their claims, claimants shall state the Dame of the contractor for whom the services were rendered, or, where rendered for a sub- contractor, the name of such sub-contractor, and, if practicable. the contractor from whoin the sub-contractor obtained his contract ; the place. describing it with patticularily, where the work was done; the kind of work per- formed ; the time covered by their bills, giv- ing dates and specifying days as nearly as possible; the rate per diem, and the amount claimed. Each clain ust be supported by theaflidavit of the claimant that the claim as presented is just and true; that no part of the amount claimed has been’ paid. apd that no set oil ‘or other defense exists against the same. In addition to the affidavit of the claimant, the ailidavit of at least one other pe disinterested and reputable, having ‘nowledge of the facts,must be furnished ; and where practicable, the account should be cer- tified as correct by the contractor, sub-con- tractor, or foreman. Wherever aftidavits are signed by ~ marks, there must be at least two Witnesses. If the claimant +has in his posses- sion, or within his control, any due-bill, cer- tifieate, note, pay-roll, or other paper tending to show that the amount claimed, or any part thereof, isdue and unpaid, such paper must be fled with the claim. And if he has no such paper in his ion or within his control, the fact must be stated in the claimant’s afi: davit. If the claimant is a resident of Wash- ington or Georgetown, D. C., he shall state the number and street of his residence, and in all cases the post-office address of the claimant shail be given. Ail claims should be filed as early as practicablet” ARMY ORDERS.—By direction of*the Presi- dent, Col. Stewart Van Vliet, assistant quar- termaster general, will during the temporary absences of Brigadier General M.. Melgs act as quartermaster general; leave of absence ae S aly Daniel W. Benham, 7th infantry, from head- quarters department of Dakota; also leave of absence from headquarters department of the Platte is extended three months to Second Lieutenant H. E. Robinson, 4th infantry ; leave of absence is extended three months to Second Lieutenant Marion P. Maus, Ist period Ba By direction of the President, leave of absence from fag oo Ist, 1873, to March 4th, 1879, is granted First Lieutenant A. H. Von Suett- witz, 3d cavalry, on account of sickness.

Li ingstone reported that there were but 3.) panes at the agency. Eight thousand pounds ave already been discovered. This is more than an eighth of the whole amount issued an- bually to ail the Indians in the United states. It is not known whether Livingstone applied for additional supplies of tobacco this year, but he did make application for the usual amount of drugs, woen he had enough oa hand to last for fifteen years. It is thought that Livingtone’s defaleation will be found to amount to more than $100,000 instead of $70,000, as at first estimated. A MEXICAN EXTRADITION DécIsIon.—Mr. John W. Foster, our minister to Mexico. com- municats to the Department of State a deci- sion by the Mexiean Supreme Court of con- siderable imvoicance. In 1877 the authorities of Texas applied to one of the states of Mexico forthe extradition of two persons charged with murder. The prisoners arrested applied to the district judge for a writ of hal corpus, which was granted. An appeal was taken by the prosecuting attorney to the Federal Supreme Court, where the decision of the district judge was reversed. The court decided that the Mexican constitution would not be violated by the extradition of the crim- inals. The opinion of the court as rendered by President Vallarta, who was Secretary of Foreign Affairs at the time the extradition was ordered, sustains the act with marked ability, and displays judicial be peed throughout, withal’a high sense of justice. The decision of the court stood 9 to 5. IMPORTANT OPINION IN A PATENT CASE.— Attorney-General Devens has sent to the Sec- retary of the Interior an opinion in a certain case, to tle effect that whenever letters patent for a mechanical invention have been applied for and taken out jointly in the names of seve- ral individuals, when, as a matter of fact, but one of them was the inventor, the others simp- ly having an interest by assignment, thon the patent is absolutely void, and cannot be made valid by any act of the parties or of the Patent ofice. “This decision is one of great import- ance to inventors and others manufacturing under what they,velieve to be exclusive privi- leges, for when a grave error of this charac- ter occurs at the outset and a period of two years intervenes before the defect is discov- ered or a correct application for a patent sub. mitted to the patent bureau, the invention t >- comes public property.

A LABOR TROUBLE AMICABLY SETTLED.— Ata conference in Milwaukee, Wis., yester- day, between a committee appointed by the Blacksmiths and Machinists’ Union and Man ager Merrill, of the Milwaukee and St. Paul railway, the latter Frmented a written state- ment in substance that the company would re- open their shops to-day and take back those who wished to return at the wages paid them at the time they quit work on Saturday, rovided the union would withdraw its pro- est. The committee reported to the union that Mr. Merrill had assured them that no further reduction would be made. The pro- test was then withdrawn. Thus the matter is amicably settled, and the men will all return to work to-day. ,BAD WEATHER FOR ENGLAND'S GREAT Naval REVIEW.—The weather was _unfavor- able at Portsmouth, England, yesterday after- noon for the naval review, the wind blowing half a gale, accompanied with heavy rain. Queen Victoria, in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, d through the fleet of twenty- four men-of-war drawn up in line, but the naval evolutions were not attempted, for fear of collisions. Fhere was a large number of spectatars present, in steamboat and sailing craft. MR. STUDABAKER, of Blufton, Ind., a mil- lionaire banker whom the nationals’ of the twelfth district have nominated for Congress is making his canvass in a fancy wagon, like a circus vehicle, with a brass band and millions of tracts on the currency question.

LE THE Pe Te ett oF CuBa being fully re- of siege which has existed for more than A Rep-Hot DEMocRATIC CONVENTION.—A telegram to the New York Sun from Reading, Pa., August 12, says: The democrats of Berks county assembled in county convention this afternoon to map out the fall sep es n and to count noses in the Congressional fight between the Hon. Hiester Clymer and Peter D. Wanner, rival candidates for the nomination. They had a red-hot time, and as soon as the tempo- rary chairman announced the meeting ready for business the fun began. The adherents ot Mr. Clymer wanted the Hon. 8. E. Arcona for permanent chairman, while the Wanner fac- tion named Alderman Fisher. At this point began a fight which begears description, the convention rising in a mass and each side ye'l- ing for their favorites. Chairs and tables were upset and broken in the excitement. The ex- cited mass advanced to the chairman's desk, before which stood Ancona and Fisher, the former cool and collected, battering the desk with a heavy cane in his vain attempts to bring the crowd to order, while the other was test- ing his lungs in vain he to be heard by the crowd. Nothing could be done in the way of business until Sheriff Kemp was called in, and, with his deputies, hustled Mr. Fisher from his position, and ordered him to sit down or be removed from the building. Mr. Ancona then called the meeting to order and pro- ceeded to business. Hiester Clymer and Petar D. Wanner both made speeches, that of Mr. Wanner being devoted to an attack upon Mr. Clymer, charging him with being everythin; but a democrat, and as having been one o those who sold Mr. Tilden out in voting for the Electoral Commission. Nothing but the nerve displayed by Sheriff Kemp to-day pre- vented a serious riot. COMMODORE GARRISON’S BETROTHED.—The report of the engagement of Commodore Gar- rison and Miss Randall, of St. Louis, is uni- versally accepted here as a fact, notwithstand- ing the lady’s family have authorized no an- nouncement. She is not much over 20, and is very handsome, a clear, sparkling brune, with a fine color, grey eyes and black hair. She is very accomplished, having recsiveda superior education in Europe and this country. Her father, formerly in business in St. Louis, but who retired some years ago, has been a life- long friend of Commodore Garrison. She is now Wearing an immense solitaire diamond ring, which the Saratoga gossips estimate at $20,000, and, of course, conclude is the gift of her betrothed. The family have been at Sar- atoga several weeks, but left to-day on a spe- cial car for New York, intending to go later to Long Branch. They live at the Windsor hotel when in New York-—[ Boston Herald. IT 1s TO bE HOPED that the new regula- tions which Messrs. Thompson and Sherman are to issue regarding the importation of duti- able goods by naval or other officers of the government will be sufliciently clear and dis- tinet to put an end to the scandals which have long been current regarding this matier. Pro! aby we shall never get rid of smuggling, in this fashion and in many more common, until the customs laws are greatly relaxe and duties at once made lower and more reasonable, but in the meantime the least the government can do isto watch its own ser- vants at least as closely as it does the general traveler. There is a very widely received notion that any one in the employ of the gov- ernment has in some sort a right to evade the payment of duties, an impression which prob- ably springs from the feeling that the govern- ment officials and the traveler are natural foes, and that the officials will always help each other, however fierce they may be toward others. And this impression is onty too often confirmed by observation. Perhaps a rigid enforcement of the customs laws in the case of officials would help to secure the repeal of some of their most absurd and irritatiug fea- tures.—[V. ¥. Times. THE First SILVER CERTIFICATE.—Senator Newton Booth, who returned from Washing- ton yesterday, brought with him the first silver certificate ever struck otf by the U. 8. govern- ment. Itis marked “ s A, No. 1.” and is endorsed: “Good for twenty silver dollars.” In size and general appearance it is somewhat similar to the greenback, although the colors of the ink used in its printing are of a silver brown hue. On the face is a vignette of Com- modore Stephen Decatur, and near this ap- pears the folowing: “This certificate is re- ceivable for customs, taxes and all public dues, and when so received may be reissued.” On the back, extending the entire length of the certificate, is the word “Twenty,” in letters an inch in size.—[Sacramento Bee. THE JERSEY CITY MURDER.—Tnhe interest in the murder of the a at Jersey City still holds on, but public sentiment seems to be changing, so that, while Mrs. Smith has been regaraed almost universa'ly as the mur- derer of her husband, now that her clergyman and her physician report that in private inter- views with her she declared “she had nothing to confess,” the public are beginning to think it sans: possible that, after all, some one else unknown to the police committed the deed, and has thus far covered ts tracks. The New York World denounces in vigorous terms the manner in which Mrs. Smith and Bennett, who are under arrest upon suspicion, are be- ing treated by the authorities. Itsays they have practically used against either Bennett r Mrs. Smith solitary confinement, brain pressure, presence of an ecclesiastic, hard epee fare, refusal of permission to see riends, concealment of information and ab- sence of conveniences, such as decent beds and clean apparel. Just Wuat BEN BUTLER WANTS.—Now I will tell ee what I want. 1 always had a fac- ulty for oink that. [Great laughter.] I want, in the first place, a dollar fixed by law, noi made pendant upon an: one Seeman, but a legal tender for debts, public and private, with the stamp on it of the most powerful ani wealthy nation on earth, the United States of America (applause), as a currency for the people of the United States of America. [Great applause.) 1 don’t want this dollar made to suit anybody in another nation, and especially the Chinese. [Prolonged laughter and ap- plause.] Idon't want a piece of poe stamped with a dollar, because that gold is a commod- ity; for when it gets to be more valuable as a commodity, then some one comes and just takes it off for a commodity. I stand here for an inconvertible paper currency, the green- back which carried on the war and saved the country. [Applause.| I want to get rid of the bonds, not out of any special enmity to the bondholder, but for the good of the people. {Butler's Speech at Biddeford, Me., Aug. s. RESCUED BY AN EIGHT-YEAR OLD GIRL.— While little Annie Curtin, a daughter ef Coun- cilman Curtin, of Hoboken. was going along the river-walk in the ce ee Fields on Sun- day evening, her hat was blown into the water. She made an Aualney to rescue it, and in doing so fellinto the water, which was beyond her depth at that point.

BUTLER INTERVIEWED. He Explains His Political Position. New York, August 14.—General Butler was interviewed by a Herald reporter last even- he denies that_he has deserted the republican party. He said:—“I mean in a few days to republish as a campaign document, a speech made in January, 186°, taking diametrie oppo- sition to the party on the financial question. There is no difference in my attitude today and my attitude then. I went aside from the ceunicas Party as early as 1868 on this ques- fon.” His Connection with Kearney. The following conversation took place about Butler's connection with Dennis Kearney: Reporter :—You endorse Kearney, or at least @ part of his programme? Gen. Butler (drawing himself up and frown. ing):—Mr. Kearney is not endorsed by me, and he knows his own business, as I do mine. Reporter:—But you are reported as having ae him encouragement, and sent him ow is way rejoicing. i Butler (Swelling with indignation, cheek pufling, and voice cast in a high pitch):—On the lying press, the infamous, lying (with pause) press of Massachusetts asseried that I brought the man east; that I paid him his ex- ‘nses, and gave him money to goon. What air play can be expected from such hars? You Know what God says in the Bible about lying ; but let that pass. Reporter:—Do you think, General, any good fruit will come of Kearney’s work? Don’t you think his speeches are rough and violent? Butler (with a grim, sardonic smile):— Would fe want the man to groan in melody? Had I been uneducated, as he is, had I been worried as he has, been hounded down by a servile and fiendish press, thrown into prison for exercising the liberty of speech, probably Imight have expressed myseif in ‘mueh the same way. Reporter:—But, of course, you will admit, General, that his line of invective will se but few intelligent followers? Ggn. Butler (anxious to escape from the sub- ject) :—I have nothing todo with Mr. Kearney whatever. He has come east to please him self. The true and honest things he may utter have my approval, and the foolish and absurd I can only grieve over. I believe he means honestly, though he may have an unusual style of expression ; but you can’t expect roses from thistles, and you must look to the nature of the causes which produce such men and make them possible. Mr. Kearney is not here at my invitation. and he is here, as I understand, solely and wholiy on his own responsibility. The New Party. Reporter You will probably be the candi- date for President, General, ot the new party. Butler:—I belong to no varty.

AUSTRIAN REPULSE IN Boss WORSHIP I¥ THE Woops, Washington Grove Camp Meeting. (Special Correspondence of The Star. CAMP, NEAR GAITHEKSRURG, Mootgomery county, Md., August 15, 187s.—To-day has Deen delightfully pleasant, and the services have been enjoyed by a large concourse of people, Tae morning trains brought numbers from Washington and along the road. swelling the number of visitors to perhaps two thousand souls, including those whe came in from the country by private conveyances. The morning exercises were led Dy Rev. E. D. Owen. The occurrence of this meeting nnmediately after breakfast and during the time of the arrival and departare of trains makes it somewhat sparsely attended when compared with the attendance at the other services. The majority of those who cam? to the ground this morning, profiting possibly By ex perience, immediately secured seats in the abernacle, and at 10:4) o'clock, wi Ames, of McKendree church, pre . cording to the announcement made yesterday, his audience was fully as large as the Sunday audiences. In this fact the diflerence between Uus and the Sunday crowd was noticeable ‘Those here to-day, with a searce!y appreciable exception, came to participate in the services instead of parading around the circle and thrcugh the avenues, much to the annoyance of the preacher and listeners too. Mr. Ames’ text was the 1st, 2d and 3d verses of the lith chapter of John's Gospel, and i: spoken of as one of the finest discourses delivered during this camp. The 2 o'clock meeting for the children was led by Q H. Mar- tin and John T. Mitchell. esqrs, and at % o'clock Mr. Harrison held his last service. It Was very largely attended. He left camp to- right by the 8:15 train for Mound City, West Va., where his services have been engaged for the coming week or ten days. Quite a good!) number accompanied him to the depot, and the poor fellow's right hand is pretty nearly shaken off. There was some prospect of a shower this afternoon : indeed for a few min- utes we enjoyed the indian’s sign of rain weather, but the clouds were dispersed ‘and we were enabled to witness one of the grand- est and most picturesque sun sets I have ever seen. Very few came by the evening trains beyond those whose families are tenting on the ground, and who spend the nights with them here to return to the city for business pursuits in the morning. Rey. Mr. Mchenney preached to-n from Ist Kings, 4th chapter, 40:h verse hy Judgments have decided it, Se;" the theme of the sermon being the dark side of the re- sults of sin, and wasa powerfu discourse of the kind. But ave noticed nm outsider— a layman, as we are called—that such themes have received a great deal of attention from the preachers. The terms of the law have been faithfully proclaimed, but I venture the assertion t if the attractions of the cross were more fully and eflectively presented, a far greater work would be accompiished. ‘It is the love of Christ, I have so frequently beard it remarked, and-not the fear of hell, that meits the human heart.

Semi-Centennial Camp. JACKSON'S Woops, A. A. Co., Md., August ith, 1878.—For several days pa: terested in the camp meeting, kn semi-centennial camp of the Methodist Prot- estant chureh, have been on the ground pre- paring for the meeting, which wilt commences to-morrow, and mauy of the tents are already up and the preparations are well alvancea. This being the semi-centennial of the church, the ers will be regarded as in commemora- tion of the organization. This church is, as is well known, a bra’ of the gn family, and was formed in 182, principally by ministers and members of the thodrsi Epis copal church who had been ex velled or drop. ped from the rolls of that churca because they advocated the doctrine of mutual rights,” or “lay delegation.” and the name of the “Associated Methodist churches” was adopted. In 183) a convention of the rep: resentatives of these churches was held in Baltimore. and the name, “The Methodist Protestant Church,” was adopted. There are two of the survivors of the convention—Rev. W. C. Lipscomb, of Georgetown, and Rev. Thos. McCormick, of Baltimore—who are ex. — onthe camp ground. Although as a lenomination this church has not grown so rapidly as the mother chareh, yet its members claim that its influence has been felt in that denomination, and that the very principle for which the fathersof the church contended has been partially introduced in the mother chureh, and that a large proportion of the it Methodist membership of that churca openly advocate the principie. T: assert that they are the only National Methodist chureb, there being no sectional or o!

There are seven churches in Baltimore, irom which representatives are expected, and with 3 or4 tents from Towsontown, 2 or more from Chestertown, and other places on the eastern shore several, from Severn and A. A. Circuits, and four or five from the neighbor- ood, the camp will be of a fair size at least, The sub-committee on tents—Rey. W. J. Floyd and Mr. F. J. Bartlett—have been working hard, and the tents are nearly all in place. The ground is, perhaps, as well adopted for a camp as any within @ reasonable distance of Washington, when its location, immediately on the railroad, never-failing springs of clear, cool water, and sandy soil, which dries quickly after a'rain, are considered. The railroad has erected a platform on the ground, and fourteen trains will stop daily, each way. The order of exercises as proposed by Dr. Wilson, who wil: as chairman of the committee supervise the camp, is as follows: 644 (or earher), rising; 64 o'clock, morning prayer ; 7, breakfast; Sie, prayer meeting: 1"), preach- ing: 12, dinner ; 2%, preaching, followed | by in quiry ae and revival exercises; 7'4 o'clock, preaching, followed by inquiry meet- ing, Sc. Besides these there will be special meetings—praise, experience, prayer, chil- dren’s and other meetings—which will weil nigh fill in the time, so those who come on the ground may find at nearly all hours something foing on.
