WASHINGTON, August 9, 1868, The Revenue Comuiwioner’s Resiguation and eral Evarts? Opinien Presumed to Be Ad- verse to a Summary Ousting of Mr, Rollins. The public is stil occupied in discussing the in- ternai revenue contest and indulging in surmises and speculations on its probable issue, Notwith- Standing the curiosity to know exactly what the President means by accepting the reagnation of Mr. Rollins in such cabalistic terms, it is next to impos- sible to teil from it whether he has ylelded to the force of circumstances and accepted the situation as it has been forced on him by Mr. Rollins, o¥ whether the four words endorsed on the back of the Commis- sioner’s resignation are indicative of anothey Presi- dential coup a’ ctat, It is argued that, whatever course the President may adopt afler the sendi- tion of the Attorney General's opionion, he is | safe from censure and criticism in all he j has thus far done; for, although there has been much discussion and deliberation, attende® by # harmless exchange of oficial papers, from the question of reconstructing the manage nent of the Internat Revenue Bureau, no visible result has yet been reached, Mr. Rollins has taformed the Pres!- dent that he ts willing to drop the revenue plum pro- vided the latter is abie to get a successor through the Senate, which is very like the juvenile game of tantalization—“Will you lave it now or wait ill you getite” The President good uaturedly mtorms the Commissioner that his olfer is accepted, which that functionary cansot cohstrue avy other way than to mean that he is to continue im offece until the Senate puts him out. if the opinion of the Attorney General shall be that Mr, Rollins, under shelter of the Tenure of Ofice law, can with impunity dety the President the endorsement on the resignation wiil mean that the offer is accepted subject to its proviso, aad the President will watt for the reassembling of Congress to recommen-e the slaughter of oMcial aspirants. If, on the contra '. Evarts’ opinion shali contirm the President’s view that officers cannot qualify their resignations, then the endorsement will mean that the resignation is accepted unconditionally, And amad interim will be knocking at the door of the Commissioner's office before he will have time to pack his carpet-bag and make his escape. To be sure there is nothing of a definite character to be obtained tn regard to the nate of this controversy, but suflicient information has been gathered, here and there, to assist in foretelling the fate of the famous resignation with an approximation to accu- racy near enough for all pruetical purposes, There is less reason than ever to doubt thai the opinion of the Attorney General will be, as tadicated in these despatches a day or two since, adverse to the wishes of tne President. Mr. Evarts has the opinion pretty well advanced towards completion, most of the law authorities having already been collated by the Assistant Attorney General before hia return, and it is expected that it will be presented for the consider- ation of the Cabinet on Tuesday next. The whole question, so far as the resignation ts concerned, will most probably fizzle out before the close of this week, and Mr. Rollins will be dispensing revenue justice in the shape of fragmentary decisions upon the amenability of certain articles to tax. The Probable Welcome of the Chinese Em- bassy in Earope. It is said that the French Minister has expressed the opinion that Russia and Prussia wili not be the only countries that will receive the Burjingume Em- bassy with a welcome. Ia conversation the other night Mr. Berthemy said he knew no reason why the French government should not make a treaty with China quite as liberal as that effected recently with the United States. He added that he believed the Embassy would be respectfully received by all the European governments. The Progress of the States of the Union— Forthcoming Report of the Land Office Come missioner. With a view of embodying in the next annual re- port from the General Land OMice an article on the progress of population, manufactures, agriculture and commerce in this country Commissioncr Wilson has addressed a circular letter to the Governors of the different States in the Union, respectfully re- questing a reply to the following inqulries:— First—W hat was the population of your State on the 1st of July, 1868, according to the most reliable data or estimates ? Second—What was the aggregal and personal property respecti Third—What amount of capital is invested in raan- ufactures?

OPEN AIR CONCERTS IN WASHINGTON, ‘The President’s Groands om Saturday After | noon—Sketches of Some of the Curious People of the Capital—The Female Lobbyist, the Diplomat and the Adventurer—Harian on Immoral Poet». WASHINGTON, Juiy 8, 1868, “Music at the Park! Do you go to the music this afternoon?" is a question one hears regularly to Washington every Wednesday and Saturday. The Park is not your Central, nor is the music such as one is accustomed to in the vicinity of the gorgeous arabesque stand, where the performers dispense sach charming strains to the beauty and fashion of New York city, But they are good, nevertheless, both the Park, our park—and the music, our music—which Washingtonians delight to patronize. Here in this queer city, going to the Park and going | to the music mean a visit to the Capitol grounds on Wednesday afternoon, or to the President's grounds on Saturday afternoon to listen to an open air con- cert by the Marine Band. It is pleasant to drop in on one of these occasions, to mingle with the crowd, note the fashions (Wash- ington shows them op, these occasions as well as at receptions), listen to music, converse with the gossippers and learn what people think and say on every sunjett, from the latest new bonnet or dress tothe most complicated and bothering of political problems. One sees and hears all sorts of things at these musical gatherings. Politica, religion, music, beauty, fashion, virtue, vice, peace ai.d war, all mingled up in a refreshing musica! and social mélange. The actor, the statesman, the warrior, the diplomat, the parson, the poet, the correspondent, the belle virtuous and the belle something elae are all here at this open air concert.

A critical friend of an ento- mological turn of mind says Bungheimer’s shoes are “certain death to all creeping aniinals.”” Bung- heimer is not a beauty, but, nevertheless, considers the ladies greatly admire him for his aristocratic connections and ‘Turveydrop deportment. Ac- cordingly he stares at them boldly, as who would ‘say, “I know you are dyil for mc,’? and a3 every distinguished foreigner thinks le has a perfect vat to.

He has a heavy irongray beard, and when you get near him you observe that he has a fine clear, intellectual eye and benevolent expres- sion of countenance, which make you curious to Outside this inner ring there is @ targer | 1868. some are sauntering up and down and round ant y | I | night; THE YACHT sQu.

The exquisite auties of the picture que and impressive posi- tion—a position p.esenting for many miles a con- stantly etl d aspect of mellowing twilight, rifting here from the belted shore, cannot easily forgol As the signal was sent up to the mast- head of the Phantom to ‘go on shore,’ the faint music from the villa of Mr. Kennard quickened the ise of the fleet, and as the starlight unfolded the tiful spectacle of all the boats of the feet being lowered simultaneously, cach and every yachtman breathed freer, and the whole was like a fairy spec- tacle. ‘THE ENTERTAINMENTS AT MR. KENNARD’S. Here a scene of dazzling beauty and one almost learn his name, Instead ofa miner or discharged soldier, | you find he 1s a poet. In_ short it is Walt Whitman, author of “Leaves of Grass,’ @poem remarkabie and eccentric as the poet him- self, who by some of the ablest critics In France and Germany has lately been pronounced the most origi- nal ie ponies, of the day. Whitman is a clerk here in the Attorney Genera!’s office, having the un- etic task of copying dry legal opinions. When larlan was Secretary of the Interior Whitinan filled a position in the Patent OMice, but on the appearance of one of his extraordinary poems was discharged, Harlan, it is said, objected to immoral pé in the poem, and told Whitman he would not have in his department an obscene writer. Harlan, you must know, was a Methodist preacher at one time, and Whitman never enjoyed such an advantage. But Whitman's friends stood to him in his need and procures him a new appointment after his discharge by Harlan. From this you wil! infer that, like most poets, he is poor. In fact he receives just enough to keep him on top of ferra firma, while his fingers are dipped in the law and his soul wrapt in meta- physics, : There is a tall, erect, slim gentieman, with a blue cout buttoned up to_the neck and an unmistakably military bearing. That is General Henningsen, an adventurer, whose Ife is full of romantic interest and would furnish material for halfa dozen volumes, He has travelled all over Europe and America; has been in the Spanish army, the Austrian army, the English army and the Hungarian army. He was with Walker, “the gray eyed man of destiny,” in Nicaragna, and, in fact, was the military mind of ali Walker's daring enterprises, ae late rebel- lion he was a@ brigadier on the Confederate side, but quarretied with ‘is and threw up his commission. w he ts quietly residing in this city, waiting, ifke Micawber, Tor something to turn ap. ‘Ihere is another tall gentleman, straight as an arrow, sharp features and sinall, keen eyes—General John Tyler, of Virgima, son of the late ex-Presiden. ofthat name. Over twenty years ego the General was himself a power at the White House, but now he fs only one of those who go to hear the music, a plain citizen, without patronage or influence. He is among those who have been rumed by the rebel- lion. On the ground also you see dozens of generals, cap- tains, ex-governors, some bogus 1oreign nobles, jour- and inshort representatives of every profes- 0) Cee mae in life, The newly made Airi- can citizen, with lls sweetheart, ts to be seen in the {ull effalgence of his new estate, He is perhaps the least modest in the crowd. it some three or four weeks earlier in the son, the interest of the scene would be ighiencd by the iReoneace of Burlingame and his hinese colleagues, besides numerous radical Sena- tors and Representatives, some of them fresh from the Capitol, after blackening with the foulest tongues the character and motives of the President. oh is the legislative license—greater, far greater, than that of the poet. A Senator or member may call the President traitor, thief, tyrant, drunkard or any- thing else that is bad, and a few hours later call upon the President to shake hands or perhaps to demand a more substantial favor in the shape of an appointment for some needy friend and supporter. J have seen this thing often and mai teltea at the cool effrontery with which it was car- ned out. During the music the President's family sit on the spacious balcony, formed by the cot le on the Potomac front of the White House, and are r- ally joined by members of the Cabinet families. Sometimes the President himseif “aces lewing fora short time, and sita in his quiet way ¥! the animated scene before him. BASE BALL NOTES. Matches Announced.

The table was decorated with rare exotics; ices, cut in every form, and bouquets lent their aid to adorn it, and with this and the magnificent villa, beautifully illuminated in every part, with weird lights burning here and there about the princely grounds, the scene can be imagined. Everything connected with the fete was superb and unique, alike honorable to the host and guests, Upon the completion of the banquet, speech and sentimept was in order, and pleasant references were made to the hospitabie manner which Mr. Kenuard had for years entertained the members of the fleet; how the for- mer owner of the villa (Mr. Burton) had met them with genial welcome, and now, year by year, ail felt that when the day of re-union at Glen Cove came around, and they were the recipients of such princely hospitality, they, would cry like the Arabs White stone, lucky’ day.” THE PAVILION HOP. Long before the galiant yachtmen had bidden adieu fo their host and hostess at the Kennard Man- sion the hop at the Pavilion Hotel was under full headway, and needed but the acquisition of the jaunty uniform of our citizen satlors to send a grace and a polish to the scene, which, we are happy to state, it soon received. Dance followed dance in uick succession, and the members of the New York Yacht Club upon this occasion gave evidence (if before there was a doubt), that they could guide their fair partners through the in- tricate mazes of the ceremonious “Lanciers” and giddy waltz with as much confidence and skill as they could navigate their trim, symmetrical crafts through the tortuous wings of the Sound. Repartee, joke and wit admirably helped to fill up the interstices between the “light fantastic’ selections, and in a very short time, indeed, sociability and en- joyment were the order of the evening. irth, mu. sic and mazourkas brought the creeping nands of old wrinkled Time around nigh unto twelve o'clock before the jovial boys ox the squadron bethought them- selves of the morrow (being the Sabbath), which, being Christian men, they could not nor bef ft said, and soon afterwards stalworth arins were pulling cutters and gigs freighted wit buoyant hearts to the various vessela of the fleet, whose signal lamps shone like radiant stara through the darkness of the black ort time every individual, save the had ‘turned in’ to his berth tj night, and in regular wate! there to acefully sleep and dream until morning of ‘‘races,”’ breezes, prizes and a good time generally. ADIEU TO GLEN COVE. While Glen Cove proves and its aquatic visitors | in were stit! slamberously inclined, the “god of day" | rent yachts were called to wash decks, which duty was soon performed, and then were heard the snrill whisties of the boatswains ‘piping all hands” to weigh anchor.

The Aquatic Championship of England. Lonpow, Jul 25, 1863. An attempt was made during the present week to briug about a second matoh for the English aquauc championship between the celebrated scullers Henry Kelley and Joseph Sadler, The former expressed his willingness to row within three months from the present time, but Sadler positively declined to enter into any further negotiations until the termination of the legal proceedings which arose out of their late match; consequently the affair fell through. It ia not unitkely, however, that these two old opponents may meet in the Open Scullers’ races for the £100 prises offered by the management of the new neers Regatta, which takes place on the 4th of ugust. PRIZE FIGHT AT HUNTER'S POINT. Shortly after three o'clock yesterday morning officer Kellum, of the Eleventh precinct, observed six boats loaded with roughs passing the foot of Clinton street, going up. Suspecting they were pro- ceeding to a prize fight, the officer reported the fact at the station house, and word was sent to the Cen- tral Office. Subsequently a despatch was received from the Twenty-first announcing that about thirt; men had just left the foot of East Thirty-fourt street in boats to attend a prize fight at Ravena- wood. The signal was sent to the several stations, but too late to interrupt the intended fight, which ia reported from the Forty-seventh as having taken place on the dock at Hunter's point, and to be alt over when the police arrived. ANOTHER POLICEMAN ASSAULTED. OmMcer Magher, of the Twenty-second precinct, late on Saturday night arrested John Frazer in Eleventh avenue for being disorderly. He was among a gang of Eleventh avenue roughs, and they insisted that he should not allow him- self to be arrested, and the result was he made ® furious assault on the officer, in which he was abetted by his companions. The officer man: to rap an alarm, and three other officers came to his assistance. For a while there was a lively d. y of policemen’s locusts and fying stones and bricks in he air. It ended in a few bruised and battered heads and the arrest of two others, John Witty and Wm. Garvin, the ringleaders in the assault. The prisoners were yesterday taken before Judge Kelly, of the Fourth District Police Court, and committed for examination, Died.
