When he attempted to return fhe quarantine authorities refused to let him pass. As he cannot get back into the town, “Othello’s occupation is gone.” FoR THE FEVER SUFFERERS.—Mr. Lock- wood, chief clerk of the Interior department, has sent word to the Howard Association, New Orleans, La., to draw for $12) collected in the department, or to advise where it should be sent. This amount has been collected in the Secretary's office and the Patent office, and more is pledged. The amount raised in the Land office and the Pension office is not yet known. When the different bureaus come to “pool their issues” it is expected that the aggregate will be a handsome sum. PERSONAL.—H. V. Redfield, of the Cincinnati Commercial, has returned from a trip to npsylvania. Col. Bacon, of Gen. Sher- mau’s Staff, has gone to Kentucky. Capt. W. J. VANCE, appointment clerk of the Treasury department, to-day notified his friends at Martinsburg, W. Va.. that if nomi- nated he would make the race for Congress in that district. The friends of Capt. Vauce are sanguine of his success. INTERNATIONAL Postal Cand CuEss TOuR- NEY.—Mr. J. E. Orchard, of Columbia, S. C., has lost two games to his British antagonist, J. Parker, of Grimsby, England; and G. W. Stevens, of Coventry, England, has drawn a geme with H. Holmes, of Bay City, Wis. This puts the score—Great Britain, 8; America, 7; drawn, 1. Mr.H. W. Molson, of Belfast, Ire- land, (one of the British International Team,) has met with a fatal accident. the particulars oi which have not yet reached us. James Burke, of New York city, was his opponent. U.S. REVENUE OFFICERS WOUNDED IN TENNESSEE,—Collector Woodcock telegraphs frem Nashvilie, Tenn., this morning to Com- missioner Raum, as follows:—My special deputies were attacked yesterday evening in Overton county by Campbell Morgan and his band, and three of the deputies were wound- ed.” The Commissioner has authorized Col- leetor Woodcock to adopt the most vigorous measures in order to enforce the law and se- cure the arrest of the guilty parties. A posse suft.ciently strong to enforce this purpose wi 1 be hired by the collector if deemed necessary. Since the adjournment of Congress a certain democratic member of Congress from Tennes- see has been writing to the Comissioner of In- ternal Revenue vigorously protesting against what he terms “the outrages committed by revenue officials in Tennessee against the saered rights of citizens.” Among the recent arrests made in this member's district was the member's own son, charged with carrying on illicit distillation. MONEY ORDER BUSINESS IN INFECTED DIs- TRICTS.—The postmaster at Brownsville, Tex., has sent a dispatch to the Post Office depart- ment stating that communication by gulf wit New Orleans has ceased, and asking whethe he shall send money order funds to that cit by overland route. He has been notified to send the surplus funds to Galveston, from which place they will come to this city by way of New Orleans. On account of the quaran- tine, mai!s from New Orleans cannot enter Galveston; so that the acknowledgment of the receipt of funds from Galveston by the postmaster at New Orleans must be sent to this city and go from here to Galveston by way of St. Louis. GEN. SHERMAN.—A dispatch, dated yester- day, was received at the War department to- day from Gen. Sherman. He was at Manitu Springs, Colorado, and would leave there to- day for the Kio Grande. AN APPLICATION for bounty has been for- warded to the Commissioner of Pensions from the White House. The only thing of note about this transaction lies in the application itself. This attracts attention because it is in verse—or rather in forty verses, four lines each, one rhyme to each verse. The applicant is a union soldier, and says “he went through the war, and received many a scar.” He gives a minute history of all his deeds: speaks of how “the bullets did fiy at the battle Shili,” and is authority for the statement that “there = not much fun at the second baitle of Bull un.” Mk. JON M. Langston, U. S. minister to Hayti, arrived in New York from Kingston, Jamaica, in the steamship Atlas Thursday. The New York Herald says he intends to re- turn to his post in October. RavIONS FOR YELLOW FEVER SUFFERERS. The commissary general, by direction of Sec- retary McCrary, to-day ordered that 5,000 ra- tions be sent to Grenada for the yellow fever sufferers. He had previously ordered 40,000 rations to be issued to Memphis. The Secre- tary cannot, of course, feed all the people in the infected districts. He will. however, ex- tend as much aid as possible, and hopes by a judicious management in the distribution of supplies to do a good deal for the relief of the suflerers. Tue CHINESE MINISTER has taken for him- self and that portion of the embassy which will remain in this city permanently, house No. 1925 F street, corner of 20th, the late resi- dence of Alexander Ray, esq., deceased.

Ten BROECK’s RacinG Days OvER.—The Loriilards have swept the platter, and will do soaslong as they ean bring such stables of Ligh bred youngsters and tried aged ones to face the starter. The rivalry and betting be- tween the two brothers is very great; in fact, they say that they appreciate a vietory over each other far more than success as against outsiders. For the cups and purse distance races P. Loriilard’s Parole heads the list in the east, while the Duke of Magenta, owned by 3€orge, is so far superior to any three-year o'd. in the west that it thoroughly solaces his popu- lar owner for Ochiltree’s non-appearance. The clever correspondent of the Spirit of the Time. gives the merits of the two-year olds, and awe rds the first place to the last of the’ Lex- ingtons, Uneas, a full brother to Wanderer, but still Harold has beaten him onee, and th- honors, so far, are even. but the Lexingtons improve so with age that it is but fair to pre- sume that in his three and four-year old form he will leave Harold far in the rear. P. Lorti- lara’s three, Parole, Spartan and Uncas, and the two of his brother George, Duke of Ma- enta and Harold, would make a nobie stable 0 send to any country, but could the Derby winner, Day Star, and the great Himyar, with Leveller and Solici‘or, be added, England would find it a difficult task to wrest a prize from them. Of course, Ten Broeck’s racin; days are over, as he is retired to the stud, sound in wind, limb and body.—[Louisvitle Courier-Journal. Wat Cot. Mossy WANTED AND WHAT WAS OFFERED TO HIM.—A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sur says: Col. Mosby made ap- Plication tothe President for the position of Assistant Attorney General. He presented numerous letters of recommendation from radical republicans, conservative republicans and democrats. Among those who gave let ters of strong commendation were Judge Hugh L. Bond, of Maryland, Alexander H. Stephens, Judge Rives, of Va., ex-Senator Lewis, of Va., Simon Cameron, and several union officers who had been his privoners during the war. Mr. E. W. Stoughton also aXe him a warm letter. The General Stough- mn ‘hat Mosby capeired in bed at Fairfax Court House was the nephew of Mr. E. W. Stoughton, and the Stoughton family have always been very friendly towards Mosby, on account of his courteous treatment of ‘his prisoner. The President for satisfactory reasons, concluded to make no change in the Assistant Attorneys General, of whom there are four, two in the Department of Justice, one aelened to service in the Post Office de- artment, and one the Department of the uterior. It was then determined to offer Col. Mosby an appointment under the Department of State, as has been done. GEN. HOOKER ON GRANT.—The Boston H:r- aid publishes an interview with Gen. Joe Hooker at Martha’s Vineyard, in which reported to have said relative to the disputed battle of Lookout Mountain: “When Grant affirms that there was no battle on Lookout Mountain, or when he otherwise detracts from the successes of ay battles, he either must have been deep in the cup, to which he is ad- dicted, or else the desire for a third term must have crazed his brain. In no other way can I account for a commanding general going back on himself and going back on the army which madehim. Gen. Grant's opinions in regard to war are far from being infallible, the same as when he administered the aff irs of the national government. My battles were Pot so bloody as his, hence I suppose he is not ableto appreciate them. As to the battle of Lookout Mountain, report me as saying that there are too many witnesses to that battle to have it ignored at this late date, and the friends of the fallen will not be likely to ac- sept Gen. Grant’s verdict” in regard to the fight. I need say no more. ah ee ,, LE DEATH OF YOUNG WHIPPLE—A Woman in the Case.—Information from an anonymous rier-Journal has been received to the effect that John Hall Whipple, the young son of Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, was shot and killed between Gin- cinnati and Louisville. The body of Whipple, it will be remembered, was found in the river at Louisville with a hole in the head. The anonymous writer acknowledged killing Whip- le on account of an affair which transpired site and uk A ANS ee Bor at 1e was thrown into the river to conceal the erime.

The rule fixed by the assessors for taking up the appeals for consideration has been agreed upon, and will be done on the principle of numerical order of squares on which property is located commencing from square No. 1 The time for making returns of personal propeity having expired the assessors will in a few days proceed to make the assessments, adding the penalties. In view of this, tax- payers may avoid the unpleasant resu'ts by coming forward at once and rendering their returns. The owners of building No. 1007 C street norihwest, were yesterday notified by the in. Spector of building of its condemnation, and they are requested to have it sufficiently re- paired to make it habitable or tear it down and remove it within thirty days. The teu .nt Rebecca Smith was also notified of the activn of the inspector. Mr. O. A. Brummel has been awarded the contract for painting the roofs of the public schools of the District. The inspector of buildings reports to the District Commissioners that there have been ‘mits for 671 new buildings at a stated 34,670 from July 1, 1877, to June 30 1878, inclusive. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. Health Officer Townshend has made a request on the District Commissioners for the appointment of six additional sanitary inspec- tors, one to be permanent and one to be skilled in matters pertaining to oysters and other ma, rine products ; the others to serve till Novem. ber 1 only. He directs attention to the fac’ that at present he has only four inspectors ayailable for street duty; one being fully oecu- ied with the supervision of tie market p uce, and another Dr. Mead, as medical san tary Inspector. In response to the health oil cer’s request for the appointment of six ad- ditional sanitary inspeciors, the Commission ers reply that the law fixes the number of in- spectors from which the Commissiouers can- not depart. EX.SCHOOL TRUSTEE DAVIS ASKS THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS TO RECONSIDER THEIR AC- TION IN REMOVING HIM. . | Benj. P. Davis writes from the Fourth Audi- tor’s Office to-day to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia as_ follows: “1 have received your letter of the 23d ins! evoking my appointment as trustee of public schools, on the ground that I am nota citizen of the District. I cannot but express surprise that you should take such action without notifying me of the charge presented against me, or 0! the evidence upon which your decision was based. I stated to you, in reply to your cireu- lar of the 6th inst., that I was a “citizen of the District of Columbia,” and that I did “not claim the right to vote in any of the states or territories.” I now repeat that statement. It is true, as stated in a letier printed in the daily papers, purporting to be the evidence upon which you acted, that I did vote in the state of Massachusetts in 1s76. I did not vote in 1877, nor have I voted during the pres- ent year. The law defining cilizenship in the District of Columbia, requires a resi. dence of twelve months in the District, nothing more. T have resided more than that time in the District without exercising the rights ef citizenship elsewhere. When my at- tention was called to this subject. by your cir- cular I satisfied myself by examining the law and consulting competent authorities, that I was eligible to the office to which I was ap- pointed ; and that there might be no possibie misunderstanding in any quarter, I immedi- ately requested a friend to ascertain whether my Dame was still borne upon the assessors’ register in Newburyport, and if it was found thereon to direct the city clerk to strike it off, for the reason that I was not a citizen of Mas- sachusetts. This was done to avoid even the appearance of claiming a residence in two places at once, and for no other purpose what- ever. Iam nota citizen of Massachusetts. I do not claim nor could I exercise the right to vote in that or any other state. If Iam not a citizen of this District, thea 1 have certainly no cilizenship anywhere. I again declare that Jam an ‘actual resident,’ in the broadest sense in which that term is used in the act creating the school board of the Dstrict of Cotumbia- In view of the above facts, I trust that a se of justice will lead you to reconsider your a tion in this matter, and to recall the revoca- tion of my appointment.” BIDS WERE OPENED TO-DAY in the office of the District engineer for heat- ing enparetus for the new workhouse as fol- lows: 1 furnaces, large size ; 1 of Barstow’s Dome fur- haces, large size, for #724.

A DIVORCE SUIT FOLLOWING HIS ATTEMPT TO PUNISH HIS WIFE'S SEDUCER. A special dispatch to the New York World from Newport, August 22, says: Gen. Abert Gallatin Lawrence, the son of William Beach Lawrence, has filed in the supreme court of Newport county a petition for divorce from his wie Eva, the widow of an officer in the regular army, killed during the war. G-n. Lawrence alleges her adultery with one Van den Nest, formerly secretary of the Belgian legation at Washington. Mrs. Lawrence has left her husband and gone to Europe, where Gen. Lawrence some time fago had a hostile meeting with Van den Nest, at which one shot was exchanged without effect. Concerning the duel and the whole matter which led to it, so many erroneous reports have been current that the facts may be brieily stated. After the death of Capt. Kingsbury, his widow went into seclusion from SOpIEty, with her infant son. Her husband’s affairs hai been itrusted to Gen. Burnside, who was his great friend, and who became, so to speak. the guardian of Mrs. ca eee vhen Mrs. Kingsbury threw off her mourning she met Gen. Lawrence, and they were married. The issue of the marriage is a little girl. Mr. Amedee van den Nest was introduced to Gen. Lawrence’s family sume time after the marriage, and became a frequent visitor at their house in Washington, The absences of General Lawrence from Wash. ington were at times prolonged. He was sent out on two or three Indian commissions, and while he was absent on this duty information reached him that Van den Nest had been par- ticularly attentive to bis wife. He is said to have remonstrated with her, and to have re- ceiyed her promise of amendment. Then he - was sent by the United States government on some business which detained him from home many days, and on his return he was informed that the secret had continued his attentions. Finally the evidence came te his knowledge on which he is now seeking a divorce, and he sent a challenge to Vanden Nest, which was accepted. The duel was arranged to take eS on the border between Belgium and Hol- apd. When General Lawrence sailed for Europe, Mr. James Gordon Bennett and Mr. Carroll Livingston, of New York, were bothin Paris, and were consulted by him. It is re ported that both went with him tothe meeting. ir. Livingston certainly did. Van den Nest re- fused to fight ata less distance than. paces, though Gen. Lawrence demanded 15. Vanden Nest's seconds begged for even a longer dis- tance, but it wasrefusedthem. Mr. Livings- ton paced off the 25 paces and Van den Nest complained that he took too short steps. The conditions further exacted on his behalf were that but one shot should be exchanged. This Gen. Lawrence objected to, but without avail. Gen. Lawrence, on account of an injury re- ceived in the army, which partially disabled his arm, was allowed the “drop shot” instead of being compelled to raise his pistol from his side at the word. Both fired at the signal, Van den Nest in the air. Gen. Lawrence endeav- ored heartily to hit his antagonist, but missed, and was much chagrined at the condition al lowing only one exchange of shots.

GENERAL BUTLER EXAMINES MAJOR BURKE. Major Burke continued his testimony before the Potter investigating committee yesterday. General Butler asked: Was the abandon- ment of the Packard government ever con- sented to by Senator sured positively by Stanley Matthews that Senator Morton would sustain the Hayes gov- the troops from orton? A. I was as- in withdrawin: thus virtually recognizing the Nicholls government. Senator Matthews to'd ‘nator Morton would make a speech on that subject. Here General Butler read a report ofa speech made by Governor Morton, when in which he foreshadowed Hayes’ ward the south. = Witness was then asked if his associates, Matthews and others, were able to rope in any other republican statesmen. he understood Mr. Frye was willing to beroped D. Q. Did you understand that Morton or any other live man outside of Ohio ever said before the 4th of March that the Packard govern- ment would be overthrown? / that every one of them acquiesced, as it was well known and published that such would be and not one of them in Congress or the Senate raised their voices Q. Where is there a word about overthrow. ing the Packard government? = strued it that the withdrawal of the troops was the overthrow of Packard’s government, and so did every one else with any sense. Q. Did you take any especial pains to keep out of your publications what would befail the Packard government? A. No, sir; we felt no Q. (General Butler very excitedly standing up)—Did you not keep the matter secret as to what was to be done to Packard’s govern- ment? A. (In a loud voice)—No, sir; it was and Mr. Levy stated it on the floor Here Mr. Hiscock read a dispatch which he ived from Governor Young, of “So far as Tam conceried, Horne is at liberty to testify all he knows. I have no secrets to conceal He repiied that the President's policy, had just received Ohio. It state: as to our corres- e or telegraph. Thomas L. Young.” Q. Did Gen. Grant’s order of the 2d March cause the withdrawal of the troops? A. It did not result so. Here witness read a letter of his own to President Grant, apologizing to him for the use on the floor of the fi Mr. Watterson of the dispatch of witness to Gov. Nicholls containing the substance of a conversation between Gen.Grant and witness. Mr. Watterson made use of the substauce of the dispatch in a speech on the Louisiana question, and witness thought Grant might have believed its use premature. Major Burke's memoranda of the Wormley confer- ence (already published) was put in evidence. The oniy new tacts in connection with it were that it stated that the question of Hayes’ title ile resting on the same vote itness admitted that the question was there discussed, but denied that Horne ever furnished him with the law on the question, Here alot of questions were pro- pounded by Gen. Butler to witness witha view of finding out why South Carolina was de- manded as well as Louisiana, and what was guaranteed in return by South Carolina for rlain government. Witness told Gen. Builer to ask Mr. Watter- son, of Kentucky, who was the representative at the Wormley conference ; that he (witness) knew nothing about the matter beyond what was published in the pa- Ts at the time, but that no sane man ever lieved that Wade Hampton was not elected. Mr. Potter then read and Packard’s ti were discussed. of South Caroli: the following tele- “I never had a conversation with Mr. herman about the settlement of the Louisi- ana question or on Louisiana polities. Ia this Mr. Burke is in error. . “RANDOLPH L. GIBSON.” Major Burke explained that on February he received a note from General Gibson, stat- i “Let me see you at once. Sherman and Cameron notify me that they will call to see me this evening.” Witness said that from this he inferred that Gen. Gibson had met: them and discussed the question, but in this he might be mistaken. THE ELorinc CourLe GONE TO WASHING Ri New York World of G.

There may be ice water for the ofictals, but there is none for strangers. In all of the departments there are numerous coolers forthe employes and the Public, but none are kept tn the Capitol, not even in the Congressional Library, where so many congregate to read. If the object of this Is economy, then it would be better to dispense with one of the Capitol police. or re. duce some other supernumery force by one, and buy ice with the amount saved. {f itis negligence on the part of the police or the officials, then a new set of officials should be ot who Would have some interest in caring for the pubic wan least in the small trifle of agiass of ice water during our long het summers.

Editor Star:—Frequent appeals have been made to the health olfice and to the District Commissioners by the citizens living in vicinity of James Creek canal and the Arse! grounds for an order to prevent manure spec. ulators from piling up heaps of all kinds of refuse matter, such as gutier scrapings, sewer contents, night-soil, stable sweepings, &e. on the banks of that canal, where it lays week: and months before it is shipped of dowa stream. The atmosphere is heavy with the fumes of these manure heaps, aud no relief as yet has been given. In view of the ap. proach of the yellow fever, and its possibie presence in this city at no distant day, does it not m that the low marshy grounds near our river front should be freed from such in- fluences as heated manure heaps, containing thousands of cart-loads as described?

A.Co., Mb., August 24th, 1878—There was a large attendance yes- terday on the ground; many people from the poate ewe Leap a number from Bal- timore and Washington arriving. Yesterday morning the services at the stand were conducted by Rev. J. B. Walk f Ohio. corresponding secretary of the General Board of Education of the M. P. church, who took for his text Matthews, ix chapter, the last three verses, his theme being “Tue harvest and the reapers.” This was regarded by many asa unigue sermon, his illustrations being very uaint,and it will long be remembered,even by the casual listener. He urged strongly the ministry and laity to instil into the minds of children the truths of the gospel ere they are hardened to sin. Before takiug the text, he spoke of the Western Maryland College as in better condition than ever before. It is gov- erned by seven persons—four clergymen and three laymen—and has assisted sixty to sev- enty candidates for the ministry. One layman had said to him that he would educate one young man for the ministry if he would find im the proper person. He spoke mostly on the subject of education, and what was being done by colleges in sending out young men pre- pared to preach the gospel. Rev. J.T. W. anative of Washiugion, is president of this college. Rev. Dr. Murray followed in some sag riate remarks. { the afternoon service Rev. Mr. Trout, of East Washington. preached from Key. xi., i5— “The kingdoms of the world are becoming the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and Ha Shall reign forever and ever.” He was fol lowed by Key. W. 5S. Hammond, formerly of Washingtcn, in an exhortation. At the evening service the preaching was by Rey. 8. B. Treadway, from Matthew vil., 21 | and 25: and he wound up with a strong ex- hortation, and on the invitation being given numbers presented themselves at the altar, and there were several conversions. There was some alarm in the camp about 2 o'clock this moras. caused by two drunken men ringing the large bell, but the police drove them from the ground. Itis = rey thatif the weather ts favorable there will be a large aliendance on Sunday, and the campers are making preparations therefor. The boarding tent is being prepared for the crowd, and there will not be the same cause of complaint as on last Sunday, for the booth will be opened when there are intermis- sions during the service. The last service, it is understood, will be at 10 o'clock ou Monday morning, but it is not unlikely that other meetings will be held dur- ing the day. c.
