OFF FOR FORTRESS MONROE. ‘The Tallapoosa left the navy yard this afternoon at3 o'clock for Fortress Monroe. She will return next Monday. The President and family, Secretary Thompson and family, Secretary McCrary and family, Attorney General Devens and Secretary Sherman, were aboard her. Not MvcH OF AN InvasIon.—There does not. seem to be any probability of any international “complication” growing out of the recent ap- arance on United States soll of British In- ans. It 1s stated at the War department that these Indians crossed the line merely in pursuit of Buffalo, They committed no depredations, and the advices that they have gone back after killing some buffalo are from official sources. THE WASHINGTON’S BIRTH PLACE MONUMENT. Secretary Evarts will visit the birth place of Washington before determining upon the kind of monument to be erected to mark the spot. The President vy pro ey: accompany him. It will be remembered that an appropriation of $3,000 for a monument for this purpose was made by Congress a few weeks since. Two Days TO CELEBRATE aT THE Navy Yarp.—Secretary Thompson to-day, by tele- graph to the different commandants, directed that the employes of the navy yards be granted in addition to the usual Fourth of July holiday a holiday the day following; also, that this lib- erty will extend to all, including the per diem m n. Mr. L. A. Gonricut, who was so long con- nected with the New York Associated Press as its Washington agent, finally retired from the association on the first instant, to en: in other business pursuits. Mr. Gobright has the respect and confidence, not only of our home community, but of leading people all over the country, andehe may be relied upon to carry out faithfully and intelligently any business engagements he enters upon, Commissions SIGNED.—The President to day Signed the commissions of some two hundred Officers of the army and navy, whose nomina- tions were confirmed during the last hours of the extra session of Congress, REAPPOINTED.—The President to-day re- appointed Cadet Worth G. Ross, of the revenue Marine. service, to be a third Meutenant. A nomination to this promotion was sent to the Senate, but action on it failed to be taken. AT THE OPENING OF BIps FOR SILVER BULLION at 5o’clock yesterday afternoon the Treasury made a large purchase. The purchase was made in some cases at the market rate, and in others below that rate, but none above. All the pation purchased was for the Philadelphia mint THREB Days HOLIDAY FOR DEPARTMENT CLERKS.—AUI the government departments will be closed on the 4th of July, that be a national holiday. They will also be practically closed on the next day, the 5th. All the employes who can be spared on that day will have holl- day. There will be but little business trans- acted in the departments, but they will be ae Open for the transaction of such as is absolutely necessary. Beyond the heads of the different divisions there will be but few people on hand in the government departments next Saturday Under the law the de lents Cannot be en tirely closed on the 5t! NEw MONEY ORDsR Orrices.—On next Mon- @ay 327 new money order offices will go into Operation, covering all the states and terri- tories except Indian territories. The post oftice at the University of Virginia, is constituted a money order office among these additions. Nine money order offices now in operation are to be discontinued from next Monday, making the increase for the present fiscal year 318. RETIRED.—An army retiring board having | found Major H. W. Janes, quartermaster, inca- acitated for active service on account of disa- ility incident to the service, he has been Tetired from active service. BRIGADIER GENERAL H. G. WRIGHT, chief of engineers, has been ordered to New York city on duty in connection with his department, and on completion thereof will return to his station in this city, Capt. JO8. RENDLEBROCK, 4th cavalry, was tried by a court martial which convened at Fort Supply, Indian territory, March 22d last, The chi against him were “his behavior before the enemy (Indians),” “disobedience of the lawful commands of his superior officers,” “neglect of duty” and “drunkenness,” to the rejudice of good. order and military discipline. ‘he court found him oes the first and third charges, not ing the second and fourth, and sentenced him service. The President, in reviewing the case, refers to the recommendation of the court that clemency be extended the accused ‘on account of his age, jong and creditable service, and the fact that his physical condition showed him to be unfit for duties of an active cauipele a and in accordance with that recommendation, in which the judge advocate general and the Sonera! of the army concur, remits the sen- ence imposed. THE FOLLOWING 18 A COMPLETE LI8T OF THE Noinations which failed to recetve final action uring the session which terminated Tuesday, and which, therefore, expired with the session : J. W. Cracraft, to be U. § Capt. . E. sistant surgeon, @ surgeon in the army, with the rang of major; passed assistant sur. eon John W. Koss, for advancement eight num- rs in his present grade in the navy; cadet Worth G. Ross, to be a 3d lieutenant in the rev- enue marine service, vice A. M. Devereaux, to be removed; and Norman Buick to be associated justice of the Supreme Court of Idaho. [vote — ‘his nomination was rejected a few days ago, but the rejection was subsequently recon: sidered, and the nomination lald on the table, where it remained at the close of the session without final action.” SENATORIAL INVESTIGATIONS.—The members of the Senate committee on privileges and elec- ons have arranged to distribute themselves as follows for the prosecution of the inquiries au- thorized by the Senate in the Spofford-Kellogg case and the Ingalls investigation during the Congressional recess. The Kansas sub-commit- tee will consist of Senators Saulsbury, Bailey, Vance, Cameron of Wis., and Logan. They will commence their labors in Kansas during the latter part of September. The Louisiana Sub-committee will be composed of Senators Hill of Georgia and Houston, as its democratic members, and either Senator Cameron.of Wis- cousin, or Senator Logan, as the representative of the republicans, Senator Hoar’s engagements in Massachusetts making It impossible for him to serve on either of the sub-committees with Out great inconvenience. ‘The Louisiana inves Ugation will not be resumed until about th» 20th of November, when the sub-committee o three are to assemble in New Orleans. THE Poncas.—Some curiosity has been felt ts know how the Poncas tn Indian Territory an! their agent have been getting along together since the courts decided that the escapea mem- bers of the tribe could stay at the north.

In response to circulars which have been seit 160 Maine and Ohio, to forward to the repub ican Congressional committee, which has head uarters in this city, a list of public docu- ments de.ired for circulation in their states, each mati is heavily burdened with letters making known the nature of pollitcal pabulum. required, The greatest demand is for Senator Conkling’s speech on the army bill. There is an a/most universal demand for the celebrated stalwart speech made by Senator Chandler in the closing hours of the ist session of the 46th Congress, Wherein he pummeled Jefferson Da- v's. There Is, strange to say, but little call for any of the veto messages, but this is doubtless owing to the fact that the general publicitygiven the vetoes by the newspaper press has already acqualuted the people in all sections of the country with President Hayes’ views of the legislation sought to be ei aes by the democrats. Ail of Senator Blaine’s speeches are being extensively circulated, particularly in Maine. Another speech for which there 1s much Inquiry is the stalwart speech of Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, on the army bill. The constitutional speech of Mr. Robeson 1s not generally called for, tt being a legal argument, ronounced unanswerabie by the lawyers, but it does not seem to be effective with the masses, A great many letters received call for copies of the editorials in the celebrated Okalona States. Among the speeches for which there is a demand are those of Gen. Garfield, who deliv- ered the first speech on the army bill and sounded the “revolutionary” key note. A great many copies of Gen. Hawley’s speech, which like Secretary Robeson’s, is somewhat of a con- stitutional argument, are being sent into Maine. In Ohio the speech of the banker Mor- ton on the Warner silver bill 1s being exten- sively circulated. Of the bulk of requests for speeches, nine in ten want those delivered on political and not those on financial subjects. THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE has not yet gone actively to work, but the speeches of all the leaders are belng printed in pamphiet form, and will soon be scattered to the four quarters of this great republic, ConGRESs WILL Not BE R&CALLED, — All Statements made that there will be another session of Congress before the regular session in December, are unfounded in fact. When the President decided not to recall Congress upon its adjournment last Tuesday, it was after the conclusion had been reached that if Congress should be reconvened before the regular time, it was evident that it would still refuse to make apy of the provisions included in the marshals’ bill, Chairman Atkins, of the House committee on appropriations, said before adjournment that should the marshals go forw: and exe- tute the regular business—which does not in- clude election cg ener their office, that there would be no difficulty in securing the pas- sage of a deficiency bill for their reimburse- ment. All the marshals can procure sufficient money to carry them through, and the only question is whether they can be allowed to pur- sue that course. This question has been pretiy well decided in the affirmative. Asan instance of the piomptness with which the marshals are being assured of aid, it may be mentioned that Marshal Douglass, of this District, does not at all fear that he will be hampered in his duties. A gentleman walked into his office yes- terday and offered to lend him $10,000 without any security and without interest. He can get along all right, he says.

To Retire from the Ministry. Rev. Dr. John Cumming, the celebrated writer onthe Millennium, has been medically ordered to renounce all mental work. He is about to retire from the ministry. ‘The Zulu Peace Negotiations. Lonxpon, July 3.—A telegram from Lord Chelmsford’s headquarters dated on the 6th of June, published in the second edition of the daily Nens this afternoon, gives a connected parative of the peace negotiations between Lord Chelmsford and the Zulu king. Lord Chelmsford promised that it the two cannon captured at Isandula were surrendered within a week and certain hostages sent into the Bri- Ush lines as evidence of King Cetywayo’s sin- cerity, he would grant an armistice Pe the arrival of terms of peace. for which he hac telegraphed to England three weeks ago. Lord Chelmsford, at the uest of the Zulu messengers, sketched the outline of the proba- ble terms, namely: The enforcement of Sir Bartle Frere’s ultimatum of unconditional sur- render; indemnity to England for the cost of the war, and the return of the spoils taken at Isandula. If Cetywayo is unable to comply with the last-named condition, the British must themselves recover the spoils from the individ- ual holders.’ The messengers were warned to be prepared for the probability of the final cere- mony of the conclusion of a peace at Ulundl. A Gor er trom Capetown, dated June 16th, says:—Strong hopes are entertained of the suc- cess of the peace gee The British forces are disgusted and disheartened with the war. Bismarck and the Pope. Lonpon, July 3.—A dispatch from Rome to the Pall Mail Gazette says: “The negotiations be- tween Prince Bismarck and the Pope, concern- ing religious differences between Germany and the Vatican, are proceeding rapidly, and it is expected they will be successfully terminated before the appointment of Dr. Faiks’ successor | 88 Minister of Ecclesiastical affairs, - CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC CON- VENTION, A Heated Discussion About the “Honorable Bilks.”” SACRAMENTO, July 2.—On the reassembling of the democratic conventionthis evening, a reso- lution was offered that with the exception of governor and judiciary, no candidate of any other state convention be endorsed. This cre- ated a long and heated discussion, during which the fact was developed that the delegates from the San Francisco and Sacramento had been holding a conference with the managers of the “Honorable Bilks,” with a view of rocuring the endorsement of the “Honorable Bilks Ucket, on which are mady republicans. It was suongly argued by the friends of the fusion that on account of desertion from the demo cratic ranks the only possible chance lay in a Coalition. The opponents of the proposed en- dorsement denounced it as an attempt to sell out the parly to the “ Honorable Bilks.” Pend- ing the roll call, «. telegram from Mr. Glenn ac- cepting the nomination for governor was read. The roil call resulted in the ADOPTION OF 1HE RESOLUTION by a vote of 198 to 145. Cheers and confusion followed. Mr. Sullivan, of San Francisco, ob- Jected to putting ay democrats to be sacrificed and moved an adjournment sine die amid a babel of cries. Another delegate Mr. Fowler, of a del legate on the floor, with saying, that = ae Mey and work py the re- publican can and accused him of selling out to the railroaks, : THE UPROAR THEN DOUBLED, and Mr. Fowler attempted to reach his accuser, but was seized by Governor Irwin and others.

Lynch, of Los Angelos, Thos, Fowler, of Tulare, and Levi Chase, of San Diego, were proposed. The latter was nominated on the first ballot. An- ; Other motion to adjourn was was lost, For secretary of state, W. J. Tinner, of Trinity, was nominated by acclamation, Thos. Beck, the ro incumbent, declining a renomination, ‘he convention then adjourned until to-morrow (Thursday.) EXECUTION IN PENNSYLVANIA, Nimrod Spattenhuber Hanged. LEBANON, Pa., July 3.—Nimrod Spattenhuber, ecnvicted of murdering John Ivison in a saloon in this city on the night of December 10th, 1$78, was hanged here this morning. The prisoner has been in good health and eaten heartily during his confinement. Several times during ‘the past week he said he was ready to dle, but that he never intended to kill Ivison. He slept well last ane arose at an early hour this morning. Father Kubiman at 9 o’clock entered the cell and pravea with the prisoner until 10.35 when the sheriff and deputies came into the cell and ipformed Spattenhuber to prepare for the gallows. The priest and Spattenhuber at once arose. The prisoner asked for a glass of water “which was given him. He trembled slightly and tears filled his eyes,. but they were forced back by clear ‘determination and he then walked steadily to the gallows, carrying a crucifix. The ceremony on the gal- lows lasted about ten minutes, Spattenhul kneeling most of the time. The sheriff then placed the rope about his neck, and a number of officials and his counsel bade the prisoner good-bye. His grasp was weak and lis voice not abovea whisper. All then left the scaffold except the sheriff, who at 10:45 loosed the knot of the trap. The fall was a very short one, and after hanging three seconds the body nervously twitched, but there was an absence of all spas- madic movement. Life was pronounced ex- tnct after banging 13 minutes, and after hang- ing 25 minutes the body was taken down and handed over to the undertak The body was placed ina coffin anc ed. to the base- ment of the Catholic church, from where the funeral will take place to-morrow, Spattenhu- ber’s neck was not broken, The Market.
