THE TALLAroosa, which collided with a | schooner last Monday night, arrived at Newport yesterday afternoon. She will be in New Lon- don to-day. THE TRAINING SHIP SARATOGA arrived off the tattery at New York yesterday from Norfolk. After a short stay at New York she goes to the Mediterranean. THE PRESIDENT, about half-past seven this morning, came Up the steps of the Patent Of- fice. Very few employes were around. One of the messengers, J. 0. Evans, happened to be on hand and showed the President around the building. DRIFTING Goose's INDIANS had an interview with Secretary Schurz and Commissioner Trowbridge this afternoon. They claim that they never signed the treaty by which the Sioux gave up their lands and went on reservations, and wants to get back thelr old home, which lave now been taken up by settlers. ‘The de- partment can see no way to accommodate them. Some other arrangement will be made. FIGHT WITH GEORGIA MOONSHINERS.—The fol- lowing dispatch was received to-day by Com- missioner Raum from Collector Clark at At- lanta: Deputy Shepard writing from Clagton, Rabun county, 9th inst., reports seizure and de- struction of four illicit distilleries in Rabun and ‘Towns counties, including distillery of famous Wm. Berrong. Raiding party w: tracked by armed citizens guarding appri to distil- lery of Berrong. Revenue of repelled at- he tack and made seizure. SPRING VistToRs.—The delightful weather of the past few days has drawn to Washington a large number of visitors and sight seers. The departments and the White House are thronged daily. It is noticed that there is a very good sprinkling of newly married people among the invaders. The ladies invariably ask when ep- tering the White House to be shown the room where Mrs. Hayes holds her receptions. THE PcRstIT OP VictorIA’s BAnp.—It is not expected at the War department that anything further from Gen. Hatch, who fs in pursuit of Victoria, will be received for a week or ten days. After their recent defeat, Victoria’s band tied towards the Mascale wide stretch of count mountains, where the fight occurred, and lero. Ged.

Lamb, of Parsons, Kansas, testified before the Senate exodus committee yesterday that many of the colored refugees had told bim that they were induced to go to Kansas by circulars which were distributed In Texas last June. The wit- ness had never been able to procure one of these | of circulars, but had been intormed by a preacher named Duncan, who had seen them, that they promised the negroes 160 acres of landin Kansas, stock and eapeltes for six months and money besides, and that they were signed by John P. H. John, the present gov- ernor of Kansas, SPEAKER RANDALL ON THE UIT RULE.— Speaker Randall has written a letter to a prom- inent democratic politician in Pennsylvania in reply to an inquiry as to the former's views with regard to the unit rule in the forthcoming state convention. He says: “I am opposed to the unit rule because it Tetters and practicaily disfranchises the minority. In Pennsylvania the delegates to the national convention are chosen by districts, the state convention having nothing to do with their appointment; has no power to direct the manner in which their votes Shall be cast. With the four delegates at large, who are elected by the state convention, th case Js, of course, different. The unit rule has proved a convenfent device by which to shackle the republican party in Pennsylvanta and to Subject It to absolute personal domination, and it Is not at all desirable to engraft the practice upon the policy of the democratic party. With us the people govern in their own way. The Lancaster resolution of 1s76, to which you refer asa precedent, goes for nothing, as it had not the judgment of a full convention ‘in its favor.” NAVAL ORDERS.—Iieutenant Chas. M. Thomas to examination for promotion. Lieut. A. H Vail to duty at the naval observatory. Master ¥. 1. Cottman to the receiving ship Colorado. Midshipman F. M. uostwick to the Lac!

Sailmaker John Martin from the Boston navy yard May ist and ordered to the training ship Constitution. ‘ailmaker Herman Hansen from the Constitu- tion and placed on waiting orders. WwW. Legacy Hvnre ere seems to be an im- pression among a large class of foreign subjects that the government of the United States acts a a sort of private inquiry office in hunting up unclaimed estates. Numerous letters of inquiry are addressed to the President conceraing such estates, and in the majority of instances the in- formation furnished by the interrogator is so vague as to approach ‘absurdity. Bata short time ago, for instance, the President was writ- ten to by a party in Belfast, Ireland, in regard to an estate left by a native of Cookstown, County Tyrone, Ireland, who came to this coun- ry In 1526, and died somewhere between 1S57 and 1S60, leaving, it is believed, property to his father. Not the faintest mention ts made of aby state or town; and this is but one of a host o similar cases, Of course nothing can be jone. THE ARMY Post ScHoot neral McCook, in charge of education in the army, has made his report for the month of February. At the various post schools there was an attendance during the month of 990 enlisted men, a gain of 96 over the previous month; sS2 children of en- listed nen attended, a gain of 51 over January; 3 children of officers were at the schools, a gain of 10 over the previous month, and during the month ‘hildren of civilians attended the schools. The total attendance during the month was 2,340. The system of education tn the army is being rapidly developed and ex- tended. It ts doing much good, and is becom- ing very popular among oficers and men. The children Of civilians in attendance are those of settlers and ranchmen, who would not other- wise enjoy any educational facilities. They pay no tuition, all the cost to them being the purchase of books. At Fort Clark, Texas, 35 children of the Seminole Indian scouts attend post schoois. THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE To-Day. Representative O'Connor, of South Carolina, made an elaborate argument before the ways and means committee of the House to-day in favor of his bill to remunerate the freedmen for their losses through the fallure of the Freed- men’s savings Institution. At conclusion of the ument the committee | eee to consider ation of the pending tariff measures. Repres- entative Tucker made a motion to place the duty on all hoop, scroll and band tron at 35 per cent advalorem, and the vote resulted: Yeas— Messrs. Tucker, Mills, Carlisle, Morrison, Fel- fon and Wood—6. Nays—Messrs. Garfield, Kelley, Phelps, Frye, Dunnell and Conger—6, with the understanding that Representative Gibson upon his return to the city De allowed to vote upon the proposition. A resolution was then offered and adopted “That the several matters now pending before this committee re- lative to the tariff upon imported and all other matters pertaining to the tariff be referred to a select cominittee of five members with in- structions to report to this committee in whole or part at its next meeting on Thursday.” The chairman appointed as committee Repre- sentatives Carlisle, Tucker, Mills, Garfield and Will Tilden Withdraw ? WHAT IS SAID AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. The telegram from Washington to a Phila delphia paper stating that Tilden had prepared a letter, to be presented to the coming state convention in New York, announcing his with- drawal from the presidential race, was a topic some discussion at the Capitol to-day Superintendent Fletcher, of the House document | room, gave Speaker Randall as authority for denial of the report, but others likely to b well posted say there {s truth in it. ASTaR re Forter made Inquiries among members 0 Congress from New York and the east, and th prevailing opinion was that Tilden intend to withdraw. Some of these Congressmen ar on excellent terms with Tilden. One prominen Senator, who ts always well-informed abou democratic plans, and whose relations with Til- den are friendly, said that while the report might not be true in detail it was in fact; that Tilden has determined not to be a candidate, and he may make the announcement to the state convention or defer it until the national convention meets. He avers in a most positive manner, however, that Tilden will get off the track. If his opponents are in the majority in the state conveation, or aré even numerous enough to form a strong minority, then Tilden will taform the convention that he Is not a candidate. Mr. Chauncey Black, one of the most active Tilden men in Pennsylvania, was asked by a STAR re- porter if the coming’ state convention would declare for Tilden. Mr. Black remarked signiti- cantly that Tilden would not be in anybody way much longer. He said that Tilden would withdraw from the race, and there would be no occasion for any fuss over him. Mr. Black was asked then if the so-called Tilden fight in Pennsylvania was being waged really in the interest of Speaker Randall for President or Vice President, but he did not answer tht question. Very many are of the opinion t Tilden did contemplate making Randall his political heir, some time ago, but that he changed his mind, owing to democratic ho: lity to the Speaker, and will take up Payne ¢ Jewett, or Groesbeck, or “some other man. In the view of forcing the nomination of a friend, It it Is believed that Tilden is maintain- ing his hold on the party in New York. Representative Will Kentucky, aid to a STAR reporter, “I was talking to-day with a prominent democrat who is just from New York, and while there he conversed with Tilden, Tilden told him that he wonld not be a candi- date before the convention, and all he asked of the party was an ‘honorable option’ in the ction of its candidate for President. ex- pression is soeminently Tildenish that tt carries with it the conviction that he uttered it. 1 know that he said positively he would not be a candidate.” reasurer Gilfillan and the District co issioners.

Orders Tse, suspending the issue of drawback certificates under the provision of the act of Congress of June 1%, ists, and June 1 iS hereby re- yoked. By order. WM. TINDALL, Secretar Treasurer Wyman, under date of April 14th, sent the following jetter to the Distriet Com missioner “T have received a letter from Mr. Geo. W. Beall declining to comply with the order m: trom this office on the sth tnstant, in regara to the receipt of drawback certificates in payment of special assessments pledged for the redemp- tion Of the S per cent certificates of Indebied- ness, and giving as his reason for such action the instructions given to him by you pertor officers, which he states lie is bound to obey or vacate the position occupiea by your appointment. ‘The copy of your order as trans- mitted by Mr. Be: fers only to the /. drawback certificates, but I am intormed that it has been construed by both the Commission- ers and himself as directing him to resume the receipt of draw certificates of the Classes which by my letter of the 7th instant he was directed not to receive, and this information is contirmed by the testimony given yesterday before the District committe, section of the act of May 29, 1513, de- clares that all tax lien certificates thereafter issued and all payments thereon shall be pledged to and shall be received, held and ap- plied under the direction of the commissioners of the sinking fund, for the payment of the principal and interest of thes per cent certifi- cates of indebtedness, and for no other use or purpose whatever. The 5th section authorizes the commissioners of the sinking fund to pre- scribe proper rules and regulations in order to effectually secure the applications of the pro- ceeds of the tax lien certificates to the payment of the 8 per cent certificates, and requires all officers of the District government to obey and conform to such rules apd regulations. In pur- suance of the pledge thus made and the author- ity vested in them, the commissioners of the sinking fund, under date of July 12, 1s73, desig- nated Nr. George W. Beall as their agent to re- ceive all moneys accruing under the above «quoted act, and to deposit the same as received to the credit of the treasurer of thesinking fund, and to receive as such agent and keep an account of all such assessments Mr. Beall’s authority to collect these assess- ments was derived solely from this authoriza- Uon. He has ever since acted under it without any dissent or protest by any officer of the Dis- Urict government, and by direction of the “*com- missioners of the sinking fund” has from time to Ume addressed to property holders notitica- Uons of the falling due of instalments of taxes, for special improvements. Instructions regula- \sng the performance of his duties as the agent of the commissioners of the sinking fund have also at various times been given to him by these commissioners, and by the Treasurer of the United States as their successor. These in- structions have been obeyed by him and acqui- esced in by the authorities of the District. The assessments which he was thus authorized to receive and receipt for are pledged by law to the commissioners of the sinking fuad, and the ex- ecutive officers of the District have no control whatever over the collection or disposal of the proceeds thereof. The Treasurer as the suc- cessor of the commissioners is virtually a tras- tee for the holders of the S per cent. certificates, und as such fs bound to see that no payments are recelved on account of the assessments, pledged for une redemption of these certificates Which will unlawfully impair their security.

Senator Logan is in Illinois fixing up Grant tences, and trying to check the Blaine boom, | whieh is developing in troublesome strength. ‘The Grant men about the Capitol to-day feel exceedingly jubilant over the fact that the Missouriand Kentucky republican conveations yesterday instructed for their candidate. Th affect to believe that there will be a renewal of the Grant boom, which will be irresistable and will sweep everything before it inthe south. The Blaine men, too, feel exuberant because of the Iowa convention giving their favorite its solid delegation. ‘The Grant men say, however, that all along they conceded Iowa to Blaine, and hence have no occasion to be surprised over the result. Senator Hoar, of Mass., who is prominently mentioned as one of the candidates for delegate at large to Chicago, to be selected to-day by the Massachusetts republican convention, says that he is more interested in the selection of a sub- stitute for himself than seeking election as a delegate. He says that he attended the Cincin- nati convention Of 1si6, and has no desire to go through the discomforts of attending a national convention in midsummer. He thinks that the delegates at ay selected by the Massachusetts convention will go to Chicago uninstructed. Senator Hoar Is opposed to the nomination both of Gen. Grant and Senator Blaine. The Albany Argus, Buffalo Courier, and Utica Gbserver are said to be the only papers in New York which still stick to Tilden. The O'sevver Js not a very ardent supporter either. It leans strongly towards Seymovr.
