Kowanp McPmsnsor, Clerk House of Re; ‘The Commutation of the Death Sentences of the Fenian Prisoners in Ireland. A brief telegram in to-day’s Herstp announces that oe death sentences in the cases of Burke and McCafferty nave been commuted te imprisonment for life, It is aid by some people here that this is in a measure due to aries on the same mission. Mr. Onlaban was courteously received by the President and referred to Mr. Seward. Mr. Qulaban thus reports his interview with both parties:— Mr, Johnson did not say, nor even intimate, that any hing had been done on behalf ef Burke or the other ‘American prisoners, but he was courteous, and appeared and nervous. I had never seen Mr. Seward before, and I eoeld scarcely believe that this poor old gentleman was the wreck of the great statesman, one ponderous volume of whose State papers would outweigh him some ounces. J teld the Secretary that we did not ask what, but if any- thing, bad been done in the case of Burke, McCafferty ‘and others; but he was too nervous to listen. Onlahan and his friends complain bitterly of Messrs, Seward and Adams, and say they aro the great cause of Fenianism. Apropos of this—diligent inquiry developes the fact {as government is entirety ignorant of any new Fenian manqavres looking to invasion of Canada The au- ‘(heritien hore are skeptical on the sabject, and seem to sidieule the whole affair.

It ig said pere that Horaee Greeley has written a letter to ex-rebel General John C. Breckinridge, inviting bim to return to this country, and telling him not to mind what may be said by fools, This letter Mr. Greeley sends through the medium of a rebel lady, formerly wealthy, but sow in reduced circumstances in conse- quence of the war, It is said that this lady, not being able to decipher readily the chirography of Greeley, sbowe! the letter to a lady friend stopping at the same hotel in this city, and thus this interesting item has Teaked out. Retirement of the Chilean Churze d’Affaires. Senor F. &, Asta Buruaga, late Chilean Chargé 4’ Affaires in the United States, leaves with his family for Chile on the 1st proximo. Senor Buruaga was relieved from his Ppas:tion some months ago by Senor Alberto Biest Gana, the present Chargé 4’ Affaires, but bas remained in the city until the pregent time in order to transact important matters of business, Senor Buruaga and bis wife have a large circlo of friends in Washington to regret their de- parture.

It is reported in Vicksburg, Misstesippi, that General Ord intends removing the Mayor and Councilmen there . for alleged incompetency under the terms of the Recon- struction act of Congress. The Collection of Taxes In Mississtpp!. General Ord, in a letter to the Mayor of Jackson, Mis- masippi, authorizes that official, in the event of military assistance being required to secure the collection of taxes, to make requisition on the commander of the post. He assumes that troops are there to aid in the execution, not in the defeat of the laws, Letter from Secretary McCulloch to Collector Smythe. The Secretary of the Treasury has addressed the fol- lowing letter to Collector Smythe, May 25, 1867, Sm—lIn order to carry out the provisions of the first section of the joint resolution, approved March 26, 1867, entitled ‘‘A joint resolation providiug for the importa- tion into the United States of cortain works of art, duty free, and for otber purposes,” the following rules and Tegulations are hereby adopted, viz:—The individual, or asegciation of individ Mpperting any of art for presentation as a gift to the United States govern- mont, or to any State, county or any municipal govern- ment, ig required to make an application in writing to the Department, requesting such free entry, which shall contain a descri| of the work of art im, and the name of branch of the United States gov- ernment, or the county or municipal government to which the tation is intended to be such accompanied by a letter or other evidence from the chief officer of the branch of the United States government, or the State, county or municipal government, signifying the acceptance of such work of artasa gift On the receipt of the appli- cation and barry J papers, as herein bed, the Department will duly make such order as the case would be entitled to under such provision of Iam, very a nel T.

Scovell, Presi- dent of the New Jersey Senate; Colonel Robert Morrow, Secretary of President Johnson, and Mr. Coyle, of this city, The Secretary of the Treasury was examined as to the supposed appointments to office of persons who Tefased to take the test oath, and Senator Scovel! as to interviews with the President before the adoption of the constitutional amendment, The Judiciary Committee, it is understood, do not place sny reliance on the stories ‘about spoliation of Booth’s digry. They believe it was given to the public just as it came into the bands of the Secretary of War, and explain the alterations in the letter to Dr, Stewart by the theory that the family of the latter tore off the address and signature before it was given te the government detectives. But there are alterations and emissions in the body of the letter that cannot be accounted for in this way. @oneral Thomas Not to ersede General Sherid The report which obtained circulation on the arrival of Major General George H. Thomas in this city, and which is still adhered to by some journals, that tho General was sent for by General Grant, at the request of the President, with a view to placing him in command of the Fifth military district, to relieve Genoral Sneri- dan, is entirely antrue, It will be remembered that General Thomas was appointed one of the original Muli- tary Governors, but, preferring to exercise the more bumble command of the Department of the Cumber- land, he was relieved at his own request, and General Pope appointed im his stead. This fact alone is sufl- cient to disprove the remor referred to, bat it has more- over been emphatically denied on the very best av thority. ‘The New Charge @’ Affaire at Vienna.

She was originally a blockade runver of the late Confederacy, and at the surrender, instead of being passed over to the United states government, she was run down to Vera Cruz and sold for about $150. Some repairs were put upon her, and she was in trade between this place and Alvarado ‘and Tiacatalpan. She was owned, so said, by some Mexican house when she left here. We are looking for new complications here, resulting from the (expected) arrival of an A No. 1 irou-ciad man- of-war vessel, in the interest of the liberal cause. It is rumored that a gentleman, agent of the liberal govern ment, left here a tew days since with the funds for the purchase of auch a vessel, fully armed and prepared for a contest with the Tabasco, and it is expected that such a vessel will be able to blockade the port and render the surrender of the garrison a certainty.

Eclipsing any of its predecessors in point of atiend- ance, the trot between the world-renowned Dexter and the almost equally famed Lady fhoro must ho regarded as the most prominent event that has taken place this season on the trotting turf.

It will be remembered that two years ago Lady Thorn defeated Dexter on the Union Course after a very sharp contest of four heata, Ever since that event the owner of Lady Thora, in spite of the great renown of Dexter, has confidently, believed that his mare was more than a match for him ‘and he was ever ready to try conclusions when the owners of Dexter thought fit to enter into negotiations on the subject. Newspaper challenges at length brought affairs to a crisis, and the present matohes are the re- sult, THE ROADS, At an early hour in the forenoon, and contiauing until after the hour announced for the race, the various roads and avenues leading to the Fashion Course were crowded with vehicles of all kinds, some being of the most ele- gant description of private carriages, freghted with ele- gantly dressed ladies, barouches, Victorias, coupés, bretts, &c., which intermingled with omnibuses, hotel coaches, hacks, buggies, light wagons, market wagons, carts, costermongers’ and every conceivable mode of wheel conveyance. ‘The railroad companies ran Dumerous trains at specified hours throughout the day, and they brought up great crowds at every trip, which as they wended their way across the enci looke Mike @ pageant.
