Secretary Sherman decided jate yesterday aiternoon not to recetve the syn- Gicate’s large subscription to the refunding cer- Uficates, but to reserve the certificates for issue under the terms of the circular given in yester- day's STaR, A COMMITTEE OF Opp FFLLOws waited on President Hayes yesterday, and invited him to participate in the anniversary celebration of the Order at the 13th-street Baptist church (Rev. Dr. Cuthbert’s), on Sunday, 27th instant. ‘The President accepted the invitation, and also promised to review the Uniformed Patriarchs on the Monday following. THE CHARGE Is Now WHISPERED that Rep- resentative Rlackburn, like Gen. Garfield, “doc- tored” his speech on the the army bill, and that in the most essential point, the Record Teport is somewhat amplified. It is sald that Blackburn did say on the floor, without qualifi- cation of any kind, that “We (meaning the democratic party) intended to wipe from the Statute books the last vestige of war legisla- tion.” The Record quotes this sentence, but amended to read “to wipe out all war lezisla- ton which abridges the reeds of the citizen.” Not a few members say that the saving clause of the sentence was not uttered on the floor, but was put in the Record by Mr. Blackburn, because he knew that his original utterance made an excellent point of attack by the re- publicans. QUITE A DRAMATIC AND EXCITING SCENE took Place in the House this afternoon, arising out of the reading by Mr. Frye, of Maine, of an editorial from the Okalona States, and compli- mentary to Mr. Blackburn for his “anti-war measure speech, and bristling over with such pbrases as “down with the devil-born amend- ments,” “down with the picturesof Lincoln and the scoundrels who surrounded him.” Mr, Blackburn took the floor, and ina highly im- Passionc’ Manner reniled to Mr. Frye, and was Tesponded to in a like tone. Srrrixe Bout.—The Secretary of War has ad- dressed a letter to General Sherman directing that in case of the return of Sitting Bull or any of his followers from the British possessions, they shall be setzed and held as prisoners of War until ierther orders from the President. In the view of this government, Sitting Bull and his band have voluntarily subjected themselves to the authority of Grezt Britaia and ceased to be subjects of the United States, and wey will not now be permitted even with peaceable in- tentions to re-cross the frontier, EX-CONGRESSMAN RAINEY WILL Accert.—It is Stated on good authority that ex-Congressman Rainey, of South Carolina, has reconsidered his declination of the appointment tendered him as assistant appointment clerk of the Trea- sury and will accept tue office. Congressman Raluey: was recommended by nearly atl the republican members of the 43th Congress for a consular position. THE House Commirres on coinage, weights and measnres met this morning and immediate- ly took up the bill of Mr. Stephens, heretofore considered by the House, which provides for the interchange of subsidiary coins for legal tender ey and makes such coins a tender in all sums not exceeding ten dol The third section of the bill was amended by the committee sofas to make the present fractional or subsidiary silver coins a tender in all sums not exceeding ten dollara in full payment of all dues roe and private. The bill as amended and as it will be reported back to the House provides that, any silver coins of the United States of smaller denomination than one dollar may, on presentation of the same in suns of ten dollars or any multiple thereof, at the office of U. 8. Treasurer, be exchanged for legal tender money. Carr. Cuark H.

H.) navy yard. ope 1g at present in the city, on no spe- cial duty, Ten Dollar Refunding Certificates. Secretary Sherman said to-day that he was a good deal embarrassed by the offer of the asso- clated bankers to take the whole of the refund- ing certificates. He did not believe they had apy right to demand these certificates under the circular of April 16th, but they claimed they had. To refuse their offer of one-half per cent. Premium when the certificates were offered in Par and accrued interest seemed rather hard, but they were compen- sated for this by having three months in which to close the transaction. It was manifestly the policy of the law to give to persons of limited means an opportunity to subscribe for these small certificates, a policy in which he most heartily concurred, and the banks and bankers as well. ‘The circular issued yesterday gives notice of sixty days, which euds on June 17, to all per- gens who desire these refundine certiacates to apply for them is suras not to exceed one hun- dred dollars to any person at one time, and it is. desirable that the greatest publicity be given to this notice, and efforts will be made to place the certificates in the hands of postmasters and every officer of the United States who, under the law, can be trusted with public money. It is hoped that within the sixty days the whole amount of the refunding Ccertificates—about. madé by the assoctated bankers will then be of the 10-40’s is mandatory, and it will by that Ume be absolutely necessary to provide means in come way to meet calls. A call for the re- days, country no greater service at this time than by giving publicity and prominence to this offer of refunding certificates.

I was half afraid when I was writing some pleasant things about the Mediterranean, in a letter to THE Srak Sore time ago, that I might have to take them back, elther tn whole or in part, before I finally bade her farewell Even soit has come to pass. I have since made a passage from Jaffa to Marseilles which fulfilled a'lthe conditions of the description of a sea voyage given by the fellow who defined or ought to have defined it as being “ put in prison and made sick, with the chance of being drowned.” It was, in short, long, tedious, cn'g, wet, an my,—thoroughly disagreeabie, In every way, in fact, with just spice enough o danger to give it dramatic interest. On the latter point I will only remark that thecaptain of the good ship “Erymanthe,”—on which it was our fortune to make the return as well as the outward trip—stated that he hod never known so long and unbroken aterm of strong head winds and baa weather as on this particu. lar voyage. It may be that this is the usual certificate furnished by all sea captains to worn out passengers after what they consider a rough passage; but I believe it all the same, and all the more because we have since learned of ‘the loss of several vessels and a number of lives by the same storm, we passed through, and in nearly the same part of the sea where we were during the worst part of it. But T anticipate, Let me therefore go back and take up my story atits beginning. SOME PLANS THAT CAME TO NAUGHT. One beautiful Sunday morning in February, as the noveltst would say, five English speak- ing gentlemen—four Americans and one East Indian officer, on his way to England,—sat at the breakfast table of the Mediterranean Hotel in Jerusalem, comparing notes and discussing thelr plans. ‘Isald there were five Fentlemen, but as I afterwards saw the name of one of the Americans scrawled by himself in a common, Coarse school boy hand on the walls of the Chapel ofthe Ascension, on Mount Olivet, per- haps four would be a safer number. One of tue party—the name recording American, by the Way,—was to leave that afternoon for Jaffa, where he expected to take an Italian steamer the next day direct for Naples. The India man intended to leave on Wed Jaffa, where he expected to trian steamer, on Thursday, Said, and go from there to thence to Englavd, via Brindisi. The second American was to leave on Thursday and take a French steamer on Friday for Alexandria, where be would overtake one of the Austrian Lioyd line and go on it direct to Trieste. The writer and bis companion were bound for Da- mascus, and afterward for Constantinople and Athens. It was thelr intention to go from Jeru- salem to the firsi-named city by horseback, Overland through Palestine and Syria, but as if ‘Was rather early In the season and too cold and stormy to risk eae) out, they had decided to ‘hursday, and there take an Italian steamer on neord for Belrut, thence to Damascus by wagon road. Such, I say, were the plans. The nappenings came out’ quite otherwise, as will be seen farther along. When we reached Jaffa Thursday night we found current there a rumor, brought down by a vessel from the north the before, to and Greece, and was raj travel toward Syria; that Egypt had Imposed @ Stree quarantine on all vessels coming from countries, and that this course would at once be, if ithad not already been, followed by all pacers having ports on the Medi- is report was confirmed in ran the We did not fully it yet seemed prudent to get out of NM if not an unsafe redicament in the shortest way possible. We wo therefore decided ty givs ap uur contem- ‘key and Greece, Yellow flag flying, and and East fadia On account of former had expected to take did not himself of this opportunity to get away from that place. Ina fey moments our foremast was also dccorated with the Yellow Flaz—the infectious disease al nized of the world over,—and we were IN QUARANTINE! The situation and the prospect now presented were not pleasant. All communication with the shore and between ipterdicted vessels in the harbor was stricily prohibited, and no freight was allowed to be put off or taken on. ‘The latter restriction was removed, however, a lttle betore nightfall, and a few lighter loads of coffee were ship) on our steamer. The action of the authorities at Port Said was in all respects that of a a people in a wild panic. knew nothing of the nature or pi disease they were guarding against, nor could they give any information as to when the quar- antine would probably be raised. They only knew that communication was forbidden, but evening, and we followed at 9, there about three hours ahead of her, at i1 next tt At Alexandria were no bet- ter. They knew no more known at Port Said, exce) g from any port in the Levant. t, herself, she had im| no quar- antine, and provided no place for that purpose. Vessels from assum infect counuries pone io or after tal tng’ on necessary supplies, no matter what their destination or cargo might be, and passengers ariiving on such Were not allowed to land under any ci Nei- ‘ther would they allow persons thus placed un- der ban to better their condition by chan; ing from one vessel to another in the outer harbor, and a cordon of police boats surrounded every steamer at anchor to enforce these regulations, The situation of our Jerusalem break- fast ly_ was therefore as foilows: The American who started for Naples was on board a vessel bound for Trieste; so was the Indian who started for Cairo. The other American who wanted to go to Trieste found himself booked for Marseilles, while we who were going to Damascus were on the way to Naples, instead. However, just as the Ery- manthe was leaving on Tuesday morning, tie Argo decided to go back to Smyrna, instead of direct to Trieste, and with no little trouble per- mission was finally obtained for her pessengers to depart on our vessel, Among these was a commercial traveler for a Scotch house, whose fed oe ia oe ate a pat come from Smyrna to Alexandria, expressly to trans- act some business at the Tatter piace, but was not allowed to land. He was obliged, there- fore, to make a trip to Marseilles and serve out such term of quarantine as might be prescribed there, after which he could return to Alexan- dria, purged as it were of the Rucstan plague. It subsequently turned out that the process cost him more than a month of time and something like @ thousand francs in money, But evenmore aggravating than his was the experience of a young Australian who came on the Ery- manthe just as she was taking in her last line, Jn company with his business partner, he nad Come a passenger on the steamer Aconcagua from Adélaide, bound for London. She had been out twenty-eight days to Suez, and would require fifteen or sixteen more to reach her destination. Thinking to hurry up some business matters in London by that course, our new arrival had forfelted the balance of his passage on his own steamer, left her at Suez, with the funds and papers of the firm, and come on by rail to Alexandria, where he hoped to catch an English steamer for Brin- disi. By adopting this course and golng over- jJand from that point he ex, to reach Lon- don £¢veral days before the arrival of the Acon- cagua, and thus have businecs matters well under way before his partner got there. He was @ litle too late for the Brindisi steamer, how- ever, and apparently the next best thing was to take the Messagerie steamer for Marseliles and 50 0n homeward, ‘This he accordingly proceeded todo; but unfortunately no one on shore had leave her told him she was sal under the odious Yel- low Flag. Judge of astonishment and cha- grin, therefore, when he came on board to learn Unat he would in all probability be detained a couple of weeks in quarantine somewhere en route, and that his partner would doubtless ba the first to reach his destipation, and ¢ too, by several days, There was no help for it, how- ever. Once on board of a ship under taboo he Could not disembark, and there noth- jn ed him to do but to cast his fortune with HEAD WINDS AND OTHRE UNPLEASANTNESSES, ‘The two days spent in the harbor of Alexan- aria were very long and wearisome, and when We finally left port the wind, which had bee in volume all the time we were lying there, came on to blow pretty strong, and we had an ugly stormy head wind all the way, rising sometimes to the dignity of a decidedly stiff gale. As I bave already sald, the rowed throughout was unpleasant and uncomfortabie to the last degree. The weather was bitter cold, in spite of the latitude, and the decks were constantly flooded by the overwashing waves and blind'ng spray, so that it was quite impossible to stay out of doors for any length of the time. The rest can easily be imagined by those who have been through winter storms atsea. Those who bave not will know quite soon enough when they come to have that experience for themselves. I may remark, however. that I observed one peculfarity of a prolonged gale on this passage which I had never seen before. So long and so strong had the wind blown from one quarter that the waters of the sea were flung up from one side of the vessel and piled up so ai on the other that fordays at a time she was literally running along a vast green hiliside, stretching away into ae a ie ——e the oe of nie ‘igo torn upendous yawning caverns by the Powers of the air. 7 eet A CHOICE OF EyIIs, We reached Naples reariy twelve hours be- hind time, after dark on the evening of the fourth out. The city looked very bright, with its innumerable rows: of gas lights circling its steep hill sides: but we Were not allowed to land, nor to take on or put off even the except at the quarancine Station outside the harbor, and this could not be reached on account of the high sea then Quarantine here was twenty-one Gays, and as no one on board to serve Out so long @ term in an Italian lazaretto, if it could possibly be avoided, all passer booked for Naples decided to go on to les. This decision was doubtless helped somewhat. by the sort of seunt-official announcement made to the captain that news had been brought to Naples by a vessel from Marseilles the day be- fore to the effect that only ten days quarantine were imposed at the latter place on ships com- ing from the Black sea, while those from leas dangerous places would probably not be de- tained at The story was not generally be- lieved, it is only just to’ say; stillthe term at Marseilles, whatever it might pe, could hardly be as bad as that av pee all hands pre- ferred to risk the ills they knew not of r than accept those they had. ‘Throughout this whole transaction the penny Wise and pound foolish routine way in which many things are managed in Europe was most forcibly illustrated. The “M ries Mara- times” 1s probably the most extensive and pomeaaa commercial company in France.
