MR. CORCORAN ABLE T@ RIDE OcT.—Mr. G. W. Riggs to-day received the following tele gram from Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, Va: “The telegrams published yesterday about Mr. Corcoran’s health were all exagger- ations. All that was sald about his health was that he had two bad nights and wished to see Dr. Tyler. The rest were matters of business. He fs better, and expects to ride out this after- boon, A.

SENATOR CAMERON ILL. letter received here from the White Sulphur Springs says that Sen- ator Don Cameron {s completely shattered in health, and there is danger thaf he will not re- cover.’ The writer of the letter quotes Senator Cameron's physican as his authority in making this statement. SECRETARY SCHURZ IN THE C, AIGN.—Secre- tary Schurz has prepared an outline of thecam_ paign speeches, whic he will make beginning next Monday in Indiana. He will take the most ical republican ground, andt nounced stalwart will undoubdtedty with bis speeches. ‘The Secretary is ve dent of republican success. PATENTS AND THE PaTENT OFFICE.—Commis- sioner Marble, of the Patent Office, says that of every one hundred patents issued, not two are really valuable; to put it plainer, tyat two in one huncred patents make money for the in- ventor, but of the remaining ninety-elht there is not enough income derived trom thein to pay for the fee necessary to secure a patent. Not- withstanding this fact the crop ef Inventions tn the country is on the increase. The Patent Office fund is now quite a large one, but despite the fact that the office turns in a handsome revenue each year to the government, Congress 4s really so close with the appropriations that the effictency of the office is Impaired thereby NEWS FROM THE ASIATIC SQUADRON.—Advices received at the Navy department announce that the flagship Richmond, of the Asiatic Station, arrived at Na; ki June Sth, and would leave for Yokohama June 16th, to and take on board the U.S. minister and com- molssioners to China, recently appointed.

ASSISTANTS TO THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY- | GENERAL APPOINTED.—Attorney General De- vens to-day appointed R. A. Orbison, of Hunt- ington, Pa., and J.C. Fay, of Elizabeth, New dersey, the assistants to the assistant attorney general in the preparation of cases in the Court of Claims. These two young men will have the duues of Mr. McCammon, recently trans- ferred from the department of justice to the Solicitorship of the interior department.

Garfield has forwarded to Senator Hoar, of Mass., the following letter of acceptance of the nomination tendered him by the repubiican national convention: Mentor, Ohio, July 10th, 1880.—Dear S!r: On the evening of the Sth of June last I had the honor to receive from you, in presence of the committee of which you were chairman, the an nouncement that the republican national con venilon at Chicago had that day nominated me for thelr candidate for President of the United States. I accept the nomination with grati- tude for the confidence it implies, and with a deep sense of the responsibilities it im I poses. cordially tndorse the principles set forth in the platform adopted by the conven- tin. On nearly all the subjects of which it treats my opinions are on record among the published proceedings of Congress. I venture, however, to make special mention of some of the principal topics which are likely to become subjects of discussion, without renewing the controversies which have been settled during the past twenty years, and with no purpose or wish to revive the passions of the late war. It shoula be said that while republicans fully recognize and will strenuously defend all the rights maintained by the people and all the lights reserved to the states, they reject the pernictous doctrine of state supremacy, which So long crippled the functions of the national overpment, abd at one time brought tne “nion very near to destruction. Tey tu- sist chat the United States is a nation with ample power of self-preservation; that its con- stitution, and laws made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme law of the land; tbat the right of the nation to determine the method by which its own legislature shall be created cannot b2 surrendered without abdicating one of the tan- damental powers of the government; that the national laws relating to the election of Repre- sentatives in Congress shall neither be violated or evaded: that every elector shall be permitted freely and without Intimidation to east ats law- ful ballot at such election and have it honestly counted, and that the potency of his vote shail not be destroyed by the traudulent, vote of any other person. The best thoughts and energies of our people should be directed to those great «mestions of materfal well-being in which all have a common interest. Such efforts will sookest restore perfect. peace to those who were lately in arms against each other, for ju3- tice and good-will will out Passion; bui it 4s certain Uhat the wounds of the war ‘cannot be compietely healed aud the spirit ot brotherhood cannot fully pery Ae whoie country until every citizen, rich or poor, white or black, is secure in the and equal enjoy- Ment of every civil and political right gu anteed by the constivution and the laws, Wh Fthe enjoyment of this right 13 not discontent will prevail, immigratioa se, and the social and industrial force will continue to be disturbed by the migration of laborers and the consequent diminution of prosperity, The national government should exercise all its constitutional authority to put an end to these evils, for all the people and all the states are members of one body, and no member can suffer without injury to all The most sertous evils which now affect the south arise from the fact that there is not such tree- dom and toleration of political opinioa and action that the minority party can exercise av effective and wholesome restraint upon the party In power. Without such restraint par‘y Tule becomes tyranical and corrupt. The pros- perity which 18 made posstble in the south by MS great advantages of soll and climate will never be realized until every voter can freely and safely support any party he pleases. Next in importance to freedom and justice i3 popular education, without which neither justice nor freedom can be permanently maintained. Its interests are entrusted to the states and the voluntary action of the ple. Whatever help the nation can justly afford should be gener- ously given to aid the states in supporting common schools, but it would be unjust to our people and dangerous to our institutions to ap- ply any portion of the revenues of the nation or of the state to the support of sectarian schools. The separation of the church and the state in everything relating to taxation suouid be absolute. On the subject of nattonad finance my views have been so frequently and fully expressed that little is needed in the way of ad- ditional statement. The publie debt is now so Well secured and the rate of annual interest has been so reduced by funding that rigid eson- omy In expenditures and the faituful applica- Uon of our surplus revenues to the payment of the pe oal of the debt will gradually but cer- tainly free the people from {ts burdens and close with honor the financial chapter of th» war. At the same time the government can provide for all its ordinary expenditures and lischarge its sacred obligations to the soldiers of the Union and to the widows and orphans of those who fell in {ts defence. The resumption of specie payments, which the republican party so courageously and successfully accomplished, hag removed from the field of controversy many questions that long and seriously dis- turbed the credit of the government and the business of the country. Our paper currency 1s now as national as the flag, and resumption has not only made It everywhere equal to coin, Dut as brought into use our store of gold and sil- ver. The circulating medium is more abundant than ever before, and we need only to maintain the equality of all our dollars to iusure to labor and capital a measure of value from the use of which ho one can suffer loss. The great prosper- ity which the country Is now enjoying should not be endangered by any violent changes or doubtful financial experiments. In reference to our customs laws, a policy should be pursued Which will bring revenues to the treasury and will enable the labor and capital employed in our great industries to compete fairly in our own markets with the labor and capital of for- ign producers, We legislate for the people of the United States, not for the whoie world, and itisour glory that the American laborer 1s Tore intelligent and better paid than his for- €ign competitor. Our country cannot be inde- pendent unless its people, with their abundant natural resources, possess the reulsite skill at any time to clothe, arm and equip themselves tor war, oa time of peace to produce all the necessary implements of labor. It was the manifest Intention of the founders of the gov- ernment to provide for the common defence, not by standipg armies alone, but by raising among the people a greater army of artizans, whose intelligence and skill should powerfully contribute to the safety and glory of the nation. Fortunately for the ‘interests of commerce there 1s no longer any formidable opposition to appropriations for the improvement of our harbors and great navigable rivers, provided that the expenditures for that Bernoae are strictly limited to works of Bational ‘mportance. The Mississippi river, with its great tributaries, is of such vital im: pertance to so many millions of people that the Salety of its navigation requires exceptional consideration. In order to secure to the nation the control of all its waters, President Jeifer- son negotiated the purchase of a vast territory extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pa- cific ocean. The wisdom of Congress should be invoked to devise some plan by which that great river shall cease to bea terror to those who dwell upon its banks, and by which its shipping may safely carry the indus. trial products of twenty-five milifons of pear The interests of agriculture, which is the basis of ail our material pros- perity, and in which seven-twelfths of our population are engaged, as well as the interests of manufactures and commerce, demand that the facilities for cheap transportation shall be Mereased by the use of all our great water- courses, The material interests of Unis country, the traditions of its settlement and the senti- ment of our Rope uate led the government to offer the wi hospitality to emigrants who Seek our shores for pew and happler homes, willing to share the burdens as well as the berefits of our society, and Tatenaing tine their posterity shall become an undistingulshable part of our population. The recent movement of the Chinese to our Pacific Coast partakes but little of the qualities of immigration. Recog- ity of this subject, the present Supported by Col has & commission of of such a rom the’ prescut believed that these on abetter basis. Experience has proved that with our frequent changes of administration n> system of reform can be made effective and per- manent without the aid of legislation. Appcintments to the military and naval service are so regulated by the law or custom as to leave but little ground of complaint, Itmiy n¢t be wise to make similar regulations by law fr the civil service, but without invading the authority or necessary discretion of the exec tive, Congress should devise a method that will determine the tenure of office and greatly re- duce the uncertainty which makes that service so uncertain and unsatisfactory. Without de- priving any officer of his rights as a citizen, the government should require him to discharge all his official duties with intelligence, efficiency and fsithfulness. To select wisely from our vast population those who are best fitted for the maby offices to be filled requires an juaint- auce far beyond the range of any one man. The executive should therefore seek and receive the Information and assistance of those whose knowledge of the communities in which the duties are to be performed best qualified them to aid in making the wisest choice. “The doctrines announced by the Chica: convention are not the temporary devices of a py to attract voters and carry an election. ey are deliberate convictions resulting from a careful study of the spirit of our institutions, the events of our history, and the best impul- ses of our people. In my judgment these prin- cipies should control the legislation and admin- istration of the government. In any event they Will guide my Conduct until experience points out a better Way. If elected it will be my pur- pose to enforce Strict obedience to the constitu- tion and the laws, and to promote, as best I may, the interests and honor of the whole ceun- try, relying tor support upon the wisdom of ress, the intelligence and patriotism of the , andthe favor of God. With great re- pecp! spect, Tam, very truly, yours . A. GARFIELD,” “To Hon. George F. Hoar, chairman cf the militee. ‘The Cabinet Meeting To-day. ‘There were several subjects of interest dis- cussed at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon. ‘The Ponca troubles and the reported Invas!on of Indian territory were talked of, but a3 no information on these points was in the posses- ston of the government, it was decided not to take any action. Time will therefore be taken until the government Is Informed, The Narra- gansett-Stonington disaster was up for consid- eration. As it is believed in many quarters that the local inspectors at New London were negligent, it was thought that instead of allow- ing them to make the investigation, that it hould be so organized and conducted as to 1n- pan Inquiry as to whether they were not in order to do this a re- e@ to be made by the os ork c uhenislves to hort will first ha iS vising inspector general at New that the conduct of the local inspectors ai London should be looked into. That oficial will be communicated with by Judge French, ame. acting Secretary of the Treasury, and the t vestigation ordered as early as possible. It was abnounced that Gov. Hartranft had signified his intention of accepting the collectorship at Philadephia, and had sent on his bond. he President stated to the Cabinet that although ge Lawrence, of Onto, had once positively declined the first comptroltership of the Trea- sury, he had information from Lim which rep- Gered it very likely that he would consent to take the place, Political Notes.

His personal, official and military record Is good. ‘The record of the party which has put in nom!- nation is bad. Yours truly, U.S. GRANT. Cemptroller Knox ts of the opinion that the bational banks need not worry theinselves any longer about any apprehended trouble from the democratic party. He says: “Now that the Gemecrats have nominated a national bank man tor vice president, the whole matter Is settled. and the Iriends of the banks can rest in peace, “It is a curious thing,” writes the Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald, “that, ai- though Hancock ts generally liked throughout the army, yet the feeling of the army as a whole is not In favorof his eleculon.” This may be the case, but we doubt It. Representative Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvanti who was here last night, says that Hancock’. nomination fs very popular in that state, and he ts not without hopes that the democrats may be able to carry it. Reports received here by republicans fron German communities In the west state tii there is a growing enthusiasm for Gartieid among them. The fact that he understands the German language and German customs Uends greatly to help him with that element or the population, ‘The re-election ot ex-Senator Barnum to the chairmanship of the democratie national com- mittee indicates that Mr. Tilden’s hand isn’t nearly so badly paralyzed as many persons sup- posed.

THE CEensts Returns from the several states are Low being forwarded rapidly to the super- intendent of the census in this city. Within a short tme the clerical force in the census office is to be largely increased. Meanwhile Gen. Walker is almost drivenwild bypersons importuning him for places. In most cases those who thus harass him do themselves more harm than Gen. Walker thinks that the present census, in all respects, much better and more accurate than the last, and that the growth and development of the north western states, as disclosed by the figures, will be surprising. It ts not thought that the south has gained, save in Texas, and the Increase in that state will be shown to be largely due to migration from other southern States into it.

NEW YoRK, July 13.—The president and sec- retary of the’ Cincinnati convention have tor- warded the following letters to General Hancock and Mr. English: ‘The Letter to General Hanco _ July 13, 1S80—To General Hancock—Si: national convention of the democratic which assembled at Cincinnati on the 22d of last month, unanimously nominated you as their candidate for President of the United States. We have been directed to inform you of your nomination of this exalted trust, and request your acceptance. In accordance with the uni- form custom of the democratic party, the con- vention have announced their views upon im- portant issues which are before the country, in aserles of resolutions, to which we invite your attention. These resolutions embody the gene- ral principles upon which the democratic party demand that the government shall be conducted; and they also emphatically condemn the mal: ‘ation by the party in power, the in against the Constitution, and es- pectahy against the right or the peo- ple to choose and install thcir President, GLISH. Which have wrought so much injury and dis- honor to our country. spired had That which chiefly in- ur nomination was the fact that you spicuously recognized and exemplified g of the American people for reconcill- and brotherhood under the shield of tae stitution with all {ts jealous care and guar- antees forrights of persons and of states.
