THE PRESIDENT. and party bade adieu to Sx ramento yesterday, and went to Chico, Cal where they had another civic, military, soci ard festive reception. This evening they leave for Oregon. WHAT POSTMASTER AINGER Says,—Postmaster Afnger denies that any mail of the Republican Congressional Campa'gn Committee 13 held for want of postage. Touching tue dectarattoa made by the Democratic Congressional Com- mittee that the postage of the committee’s mitk- bie matter Boerne $250 per day, he say * All can Say is that if{t amounts to that suc I would Itke to know where the committee buys is postage stamps. Certainly not at the Wash- ington office, for the amount indicated as th daily expenditure of the committee will more Usan cover the full amount of stamps purehased by the committee since the presidential cam- paign commenced. A Rescug.—In a dispatch to the Navy depart- ment, dated Villefranche, September sth, Rear Acmiral Howeil quotes a report which Comm<- core Schoonmaker raade to him of an inctdeat Which occurred on his vessel (the Nipsic) on her way from Athens to Triste: Towards sundowa of August 7th, after a strong wind from the southeast, succeeded by a southerly gale with a heavy Sea, ab apprentice fell overboard. The boy wes on board,both life buoys recovered and the boat hoisted In twenty minutes.” Admiral Howell says: have since ascertained that the boy could not swim. Considering the circum- stances of weather, the handling of the life sav- ing materlal shows a training and discipline oa board the Nipsic creditable to the officers and crew.” ° THE PRESIDENTS JOKB.—There is a good Story told of the President {n connection with the recent appointments made to fill vacancies In thé U.S. army. A gentleman who is distin- (eae in social life was extremely anxious to ve the son of a warm friend designated for one of the vacancies. He called upon the Pres- ident and made known his request. “You s2e. Mr. President, said he, in advocating the young main’s claim, “his father is a distinguished ex- army cfficer. His great grandfather was a gil- land soldier of the army, and his great, great rardfather was an officer in the navy during @ Tevolutionary war.” These polnts were (Sear with force upon the attention of the President. All of a sudden the President said: “And this young man’s father, great grand- father, and éven a more remote grandfather, dave all been officers of the United state “Yes,” came the reply. “Well,” repited te President with a merry chuckle, “don’t you think It about time that some one in that fa:n- iy €arned a living for himself.” A DeMocratic ROLAND FOR A REPUBLICAN OLivER.—The latest campaign pamplet issued under democratic auspices is entitled “A record of the Se ert tee Political achlevements of James A. Garfield, compiled trom the Con- srescional Record, written in blank verse by Murat Halstead.” This so-called record has a pink cover, upon which appears the foregott AS a foot note on the cover {s the following :— “The inost contemptible thing thus far at Chi- cago 1s the chatter about Garfield. He has not aecord to run on for President, and it 1s ex- treme foolishness to be wasting time on him— Crwinnate Commercial, June 3, 1830.” Upon Opening this so-called record there appears six pages of black paper, without a word upon it. ‘The inference sought to be attained by the pamphlet is that the so-called author believes. that Gen. G. hes no record toruo upon, and that, if apy, it isso black that it will not bear review. The democrats have issued it as a com- Panton ptece to a repubitean pamphlet entitled “Hancock's civil record,” which fs a succession Ot blank pages. Too LaTe.—There 1s being recelved at the Tieasury department quite an amount of old 7-30 notes, which were redeemed tn 1365. These notes were convertable into 5-20 bonds before the date of eee and it was so printed on their backs. With notes being received now comes & ee from the holders that they be converted into 5-2) bonds. Tals cannot, of course, be done. They are paid in money, with the accrued interest up to 1563. The holders evidently thought that they could catl any time before doom sday for 5-20 bonds for their notes PEKSONAL.—EX-Governor Brown, of ‘Tennes- see, and J.G.

REPORT OF THE STEAMBOAT INSPECTORS—OFFI- CERS OF ROTH BOATS CENSURED. Inspectors Hovey and Beckwith, who inves- Ugated the Narragansett-Stonington disaster, have forwarded their report to Gen. Dumon'. ‘They find, after a careful review of all testi- mony and the circumstances of the collision, that George F. Nye, master of the Stonington, did, through his pilot, alter her course for the Narragansett without giving the ee signals, as required; that he also failed to stop his steamer without properly locating the Narragansett, or until proper signals could be given, answered and understood, as required. Upon sighting the Narragansett, through carelessness or for- getfulness, the signal was given to start the steamer, which caused the collision. Upon his own admission, there was found in Capt. Nye a dtsposition to totally disregard the law a3 far as it relates to the conveyance and transportation of a greater number of passengers than allowed by law, and, in consequence, he is lable to the pea allies prescribed by law, and his license a3 mas. ter and pilot would be revoked had it not already expired by limnitation. W. S. Young, master ot the Narragansett, proceeded from New York without the engineer’s department being in charge of achief engineer as required by law. Upon sighting the Stonington, through care- lessness Or excitement the stgdais were given to go ahead, thereby contributing to the colll- sion. After aiscovering the fire in the upper works Cf his steamer, he did not use proper means to extinguish it; and leaving his steamer in a lifeboat with his pilot so soon after the col- liston with so many passengers on board, was extirely at variance with good judgment and the duties and obligations of ‘a master of a steamer. In consequence of these violations his license as_ pilot and inspector has been re- voked. The Providence and Stonington steam- ship company did bot provide the Narragansett with acompiement of licensed englaeers, nor number of watchmen for her state rooms, deck aud ladles’ cabin as required; In consequence of which they are amenable to law as prescribed sections 4, and 4,500, R.S. There was a ta ure to Keep a correct list of passengers as re quired by law, and for which they are amena. ble. The report recommends tn conclusion a Lumber of changes in the laws and regulations governing steamboat navigation as conduciy to greater safety aud making them less {a2 cate as to signals, ac, Political Notes. A letter received here from Mr. J. H. Estell, of the Savannah Neirs, says that the guberna- terlal contest in Georgia fs lively, bat very one: Sided. He predicts the election of Colquitt over Norwoed by 10,000 majority. Agentieman well known tu Washington, a native of Virginia, says Gen. Mahone told him a few days ago that there was no chance for tue Tepublicans to carry the state; that if any tempt should be made by the republicans enter upon an active canvass, the two demo- cratic factions would !mmedistely unite upon a single electoral ticket, no matter at what sacri- fice of state issues. The following additional nominations for Congress have eon mate:— Edward Balbach, jr., democrat, Wh New Jersey; W. L. Hope, eenback, for the Elizabeth, N. J., district; of. H. A. Balcam, democrat, 33d New York; J. McCafferty, democrat, 9th Massachusetts; Nathan Scoville, democrat, 324 New York. The regular democracy of New York city pro- J ose an amicabie arrangement with Tammany as to representation in the state convention at Saratoga on the 28th Instant, the delegation to be equally divided. The Richmond Dispatch publishes a list of cne hundred colored men who pledge their sup- Tort to Geo. D. Wise, the democratic congres- stonal nominee. The New York Herald to-day says of the democratic (Tammany) meeting last night that tLere has been no political gathering in that city In twenty years to equal it. President Hayes will reach Fremont, Ohio, his bome, in time to vote for Garfield and Ar- thur. Gen. Grant will be at Galena to vote for the same ticket. It 1s in the nature of a rarity for Presidents and ex-Presidents to be voting for their successors. This for the reason that but fewof them live long enough after the ew Of thelr terms to vote ia a presidea- tial year. It is somewhat incompatible with the present order of things that the military committee of the House of Representatives, at the last se3- sion of Congress, removed Gen. Butler a3 one cf the managers of volunteer soldiers’ home:. Butler was conceded to be a good offiser, and his removal was solely for the reason that he was not a democrat. THERE WAS R CaBINET MEETING at the While House this afternoon. Secretary Evarts, Attor- ney General Devens, Commodore Jeffers (Navy department), Secretary Schurz, Postmaster General Maynard, and Chief Clerk Crosby of the War department. were present. No business Was transacted. The heads of departments only met for consultation as to how the pubic busi- Less was progressing. The Attorney-General Stated that some of the bondsmen. of Marshal Fitzsimmons had desired to be released. He hid refused to allow it, but had required the marshal to give a new bond. This new bond will not, however, release those who wished to be relieved from responsibility. The Attorney General has not considered any charges that have been made against the mai- shal. Owing to the differences between that officer and Collector of Internal Revenue Clark, at Atlanta, there have always been charges against the former by tne latter. Marshal Fitzsimmons has repeatedly been investigated on charges preferred by the revenue ofiicers, and us many times exonerated. RATIFICATION OF THE UTE TREATY.—The In- terior department has just received the follow- ing dispateb: “ALAMosA, COL., Sept. 23, 1330.— ‘The commission have secured to the instrument of ratification the signatures of five hundred and eighty-two adult males of the confederate Tands of Ute Indians in Colorado, This num- ber is more than three-fourths of the male adults of the tribe. G. W. MANYPENNY, J. J. RUssELL” The period of four months, within which, according to the act, the agreement must be ratified by the Utes, does not expire until October 15th. Secretary Schurz will im- mediately issue instructions for the carryt out of the requirements of the treaty, the si yeying of the lands the Utes are to take In severalty, their settlement, and payment of the sum stipulated in the bill, as soon as they shall have gone upon their new lands. ‘THE Cry Is S11LL THEY ComE.—The Bureau of Statistics reports the arrival of 50,508 imm!- grants to this country during the month of August.

DISCORD IN A ROY FAMILY. Queen Isabella Making More ‘Trouble in Spain, NEw YORK, Sept. 24.—A Paris sg] 1 far- nisbes the dollowing from Madrid: When Queen Isabella came to Mudrid it was rumored that she would return to Paris immediately upon the accouchement of Queen Christina. Her pro- lopged stay causes much comment, and it 13 re- marked that she shows particular regard on the ope hand to Marshals Campos, Concha and Gen. Prendergast, and other chiefs of the dy- nesuc liberal opposition, whose ladies crowd her salon, and that, on the other hand, all her Old servants in the’aristocracy and in the army now flock to the palace as they have never done since the restoration. When she drives out witb her son to witness the bull fights on San- days, even the lower classes cheer her. Some fay ske does all this to spite her successor, but THE REAL OBJECT OF ISABELLA’S PROLONGED AY. 8 is that she ts pressing her long standing claims On the treasury and the cabinet is inaix. Sae Js entitled to over $1,000,000 in capital, besides years of accumulated interest in old arrears due her on her civii list, and on the portion left her by her father, Ferdinand 7th. She does nov press her claims very vigorously. Knowing the embarrassments of the treasury, she only seeks their recognition and an annual payment. This, the lawyers say, the government cannot re- fuse. SUll itis not easy for the cabinet to ask the courts to agree to her demands, andadd a new burden to the estimates that have close4 every year since the restoration, with deficits that range from $26,000,000 to $29,000,000. Isa- bella has rejected Senor Canovas’ suggestion to come and live at Alcazar Sevill with the Prin- cess Isabel and the two young infantas, and thus reduce her ex Senor Canovas in- condition on the queen, g all her present entourage and form: tpg her household of government nominees. ‘There have been some very ARCTIC HOREORS.
