ALBANY, Nov. 9, 1868. The arrival of Hon. John T. Hofiman and wife at Congress Hall was made the occasion of a compit- mentary serenade to him this evening by the Jack- son Guard. On being called out and warmly cheered by the crowd, Mr. Hoffman said, substantially:—He was pleased to meet so many of his friends from the good old county of Albany. He thanked them for this de- monstration and for the efforts they had made, in common with other friends throughout the State, to secure the triumph of constitutional government. He felt especiaily grateful for the glorious result in Albany county, as, perhaps, more than any other tt was @& representative locality, He regarded this demonstration as @ compitment to himself, and would therefore say that he had striven in the canvass just closed to do ail in his power to establish those principles which he believed would best subserve the interests of all the people of this country. We had been beaten in the nation, but had gloriously triumphed in the Empire State. (Cheers.) And yet, while this was so, there was talk about contesting the election; but he would say to his Hy jrestire friends that inasmuch as they had deen deleated by about 30,000 majority it would be best for them to gracefully accept the result, as had been the custom of the democrats for many times in the past. (Cheers.) He did not underrate the responsibilities of the position to which he had been called, and he would undertake to say that so far as he was concerned he should discharge what- ever duties might devolve upon him without parti- ality to any section of the State—the west as Well es the east. (Cheers.) It would be his endeavor to help administer the government under the old maxim that -the government was best which was governed least, and that the nappiest people were those who were the least interfered with, so long as they did not trample upon their neighbors’ rights or interfere with their neighbors’ property. (Cheers.; He should endeavor to con- by the means at his command to tne restoration of the government of the land to a qpn- stitutional basis, where all should be restored to their right and we should once more become a free, united and bappy people.

Tho Present Aspect of the Alabama Claims Question. as WASHINGTON, Nov, 9, 1863, General Grant’s Aris St Army Headquare ee ters. This being the first business day since the return of the President elect it was suppoaed by many per- sons that he would hold a public levee of some kind, and most of them thought it more than probable that the headquarters of thé army woiftt be the place. Accordingly, the rather modest looking mansion occupied 2s headquarters of the General-in-Chief be- came an object of interest to a number of people who gathered there at an early hour in the morning in the hope of seeing the great little manarrive. A vigilant watch was kept by the curious for the first glimpse of Grant’s black horse, or the appearance of his buggy, which modes of conveyance were most patronized by the General before he left Washington. The General on this occasion, however, did not adopt either of his former methods of going to his office. He sallied out from home on foot about nine o’clock this morning, and walked leisurely up Pennsylvania avenue, apparently un- conscious that he was the object upon which all eyes were directed. During the walk to his office ho was met by several acquaintances, who manifested great pleasure at seeing him. A moment or two was spent in mutual inquiries after health and generat prosperity, after which the General quietly pursued his way. When the General approached his head- quarters he was observed by those waiting for his arrival slowly walking through the White House grounds with his hands in his pantaloons pockets, puting away at his cigar. He went immediately {nto his office, where he soon began to receive the multitude of visitors Who crowded tn to congratu- late him. Up to about one o'clock he received the visite of friends, acquaintances and strangers; then he took a recess for a short time and left the office, going through the War Department, the White House grounds and the Treasury into Fifteenth street. While passing through the Treasury the General stopped at General Spinner’s room and paid & short visit to the “old watch dog of the ‘Treasury.”” After an absence of about three-quarters of an hour he returned to his office, where a number of callers had again assembied, and the formalities of prescn- tation and reception recommenced. Among the distinguished persons who visited General Grant to- day were Speaker Colfax, the Secretary of War, General Schofleld: Generals Canby, Emory, Hum- phries, George H. Thomas and Terry, The two last mentioned are here to attend the Dyer court of in- quiry. Senator Morgan and many other prominent civilians aiso called upon him. Most of those who called upon the General introduced themselves by their cards. These visitors generally expressed afew words of congratulation, for which General Grant briefly returned hia thanks, after which they took their leave and were succeeded by others. When a prominent officer of the government presented him- self he was promptly admitted, and retired after a few moments of conversation, At the close of office hours the General devarted from headquarters about the same time thatthe clerks of his office left, and very much in the same manner—ina street passen- gercar. During the day ® committee from the re- publican organizations of this city called upon the General to learn his pleasure in regard to 8 demon- stration of welcome, which {t was at first intended to have on his arrival, but which was postponed on account of unforeseen obstacies. The General ap- pointed an hour for the committee to call apon him to-morrow, when he promised to advise with them in regard tothe manner in which the rejoicing shall be done. Grant and His Designe—Probable Complexion of Hie Cabine At the preeent time the most interesting topic of conversation hereabouts ts the probable composition of Genera! Grant's Cabinet. On this subject there Many claimants to the reputation of being good authorities, and profound oracles are not wanting who can foretell the eigns of the times in this re- spect, They ali have their believers; but the truth ‘s that no other President eleot since the foundation of the government ever preserved so rigid a silence im regard to his future course in important State matters as General Grant, and as ® natura! conse- quence the vast number of rumors now floating around contain but a very few well founded facts, It is unmistakably clear that Grant ts desirous of making bis Cabinet selections without con- sulting party leaders, and of making them to suit himself; consequently ali those who volunteer their advice in the matter are treated alike, from the dogmatic political manager, who assumes to dictate, to the humbie aspirant for Prest- dential favor who ventures only to throw out a sug- gestion. They are patiently listened to and graciously permitted to do all the talking. Thus ali sucn inter- views terminate highly unsatisfactorily, without a promise or even a hint that their counsel has taken suMcient root to bring forth fruit. It isan undoubted fact that General Grant has fully decided to hold himself entirely aloof from party restraints; for he feels that io order to be free to act in all emergencies for the best interests of the country he must not be fettered by party ties. He evidently feels that, in both his nomination and election, the Gebt of gratitude is as heavy on one side as it is on the other, and he regards himagif ae absolved from the necessity of accepting at the hands of the re- publican party nominations to important offices and pians for national exigencies ready made for him. The earnestness with which the republican leaders implored him to bear the standard through the Presi- dential contest, the consciousness that the honor ‘Was unsought and even repeatedly declined by him, and that when at length he acceded to their urgent request he didso with the distinct understanding that he was to be independent in action and just as free to follow the dictates of his own judgment as when he accepted, under the same conditions, the chief command of the armies in the fleid, justify his reticence on the subject. General Grant does not keep his thoughts and views hermetically sealed, as it were, in his own mind, He has intimate and confidential friends who have been. long tried in prudence of good counsel, ‘who atill share his confidence to a great extent; but these friends, knowing the importance that the Gen. eral attaches to secrecy concerning his future ac- tions, are almost as reticent and reserved as the General. Nevertheless, although it is next to impos- sible to obtain anything in regard to the formation of the next Cabinet that may be announced by au- thority, theve are some slight intimations dropped by those who have opportunities of knowing, which, when taken in connection with other known facts, form conclusions worthy of mention. Certain of these intimations jead to the belief that both J, Lathrop Motley and Edwin M, Stanton have been spoken of by Grant as excellent men for the office of Secretary of State; that Admiral D. D. Porter is the likellest man for Secretary of the Navy; and that General J. M. Scho- field wil most probably retain the controt of the War Department. These names are based on some- thing better than mere conjecture; but in relation to the other Cabinet positions nothing more reliable than current rumors can be foand. One statement I can make with great confidence, which is that the Cabinet of General Grant is already ‘cut and dried.” The men have been determined upon, and the chances that any alteration will be made in the list fre exceedingly small. Another fact in relation to the future conduct of the President clect is that all such professors of political science and the art of sharing out public oMees as Wendell Vhtilivs, Bea Butler, on the one side, and N. B. Forrest, Wade Hampton, C. C. Vallandigham et ai., on the other, may as well send their advice to the King of Da- homey as to General Grant. A word to the wise is auficient, General Grants Views of the Republican ‘Platform. © A svavement made last evening by a gentleman in whom may be placed implicit reliance, and who en- Joys excellent opportunities to enable him to speak intelligently on the subject, may give some indica tion of General Grant’s position in relation to the repubitcan party. He states that after the General was nominated he sat for quite a long time carefully reading and pondering upon the platform adopted by the Convention; that he finally expressed to his confidential friends that he did not like it, and was, {n great doubt whether he would accept the “oming tion on that platform. This comin® ‘oo the ears of pe the Oemore Wh seed ca gnaguana oa to» the-plattora ho ScAted to them his objections WiOPrio’ likin + This intelligence was received a Gat Consternation by his visitors, who eines if Grant entertained the intention of bei Ma abomination, aay once opened we ty rey éondsivable argument NL? SCUG bring forward to induce him to accept, One of Wuich argumerty Was that the platform need Mot be regarded by him in 40 serious g light—it was simply an enunciation of the general principles of the party, necessary only to make up the issues of the campaign. They urged him to accept at all events, and to say nothing more about the platform. Many other arguments of a similar character were used, It is said, which gave Grant to understand that they wanted him to accept the nomination, tf even It had to be on a platform of his own adoption. Another Candidate for the Treasury, Since Grant called on Spinner to-day another likely man for the Treasury Department has been mentioned, Mr. Spinner is that man. So, quid nuncs and gossippers, put this and that together. The General Captured by One of the Butler Family. It turns out that General Grant was captured on Saturday evening last on his arrival at the depot here by one of the Butler family, the members of which have a way of keeping accurately posted in regard to Grant’s movements. This was not the valiant Ben, however, who had the General in his power for a matter of ten minutes on Saturday night, but John Butler, Sam Ward’s coachman, who, learning that the General was coming, and find- ing no carriage in waiting, drove up the railroad track: and picked nfm up. Grant offered him five dollars for his trouble, which John refused, ‘but agreed finally to accept two dollars and an oda quar- ter, which the General insisted he should take to in- vest in a cocktail.

The Vice President elect, who got here very quietly this morning, spent most of the day in visiting the departments, attending to business at the Capitoi and dining with General Grant, at his residence on I street. Mr. Colfax looks remarkabty weil after his long tour, aud appeared on the streets to-day in the beat of humor, smiling his usual smile, and chatting with the ease and ra- pidity for which he is noted. He speaks quite pleasantly and hopefully, of the future, and predicts that the day when the country will be thoroughly pacified 13 not far distant. Mr, Colfax is one of the most cheerful and urbane of our public men, and in this way might be copied with advan- tage by a great many. ‘The dinner at Grant’s house to-day, at which Colfax was present, was a quiet, family affatr, and not, as some supposed, a gathering of all the leading republican politicians now collected in the capital for the purpose of deliberating over Cabinet appointments and the policy of the incom- ing administration. I have it from the “highest authority” that the conversations were devoted en- ttrely to the ordinary chit-chat of the table and the Merits of the junior members of the Grant family. After adjourning the House to-morrow Mr. Colfax will start by the two P. M. train for Baltimore, where he is to spend a few days, and thence proceed to his home in Indiana, He will return here in the course of a few wéeka, | Present Aspect of the Alnbama Claims Ne- gotiation, The Alabama claims and the probable settlement to bé arranged by Minister Johnson are still a sub- ject of much conjecture and speculation. Every day there te some new shape given to the negotiations by the active gentry engaged in trying to discover the real status of the question. The Jatest 1s that. which ! telegraphed you last night, and which has been slightly modified to-day. According to this statement the English government has proposed, firat, an arbitration to decide as to the responsibility of England for the depredations of the Alabama, and second, @ mixed commission to investigate and ad- just all claims growing out of those depredations. To these proposais it is said Mr. Seward has added a third—namely, that the arbitration include tn its de- Uberations the question as to whether England was right im according belligerent rights to ‘the confederacy. This third point, it is said, was declined by the English government, and the result was a refusal on the part of Mr. Seward under these circumstances to agree to an arbitration. So the begotiations came to s halt and were reopened afresh with a new set of proposals, Some here say that these new proposals certainly include a mixed commission, but not of the unwieldy bulk described by the cable. They say the point urged by our gov- ernment strennously ts the recognition !n the first piace of the fact that England was wrong ‘pn recog- nizing the rebels as beiligerents, and also responsi- ble for depredations by the Alabama. These con- ceded, our government, :¢ is stated, will not haggle very particularly about the amount and justice of individual claims or how they are to be adjusted, Arrival of Senators and Congresemen in the Chy. Besides Speaker Colfax, Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, ig the only other member of the House known to be in the city. Senators Wade, Morgan, Cameron and Corbett are in the city, After the declaration of the adjournment of Congress to-morrow Messrs. Wade and Colfax will revurn to the West. Financial Movement of Secretary McCulloch, The Secretary of the Treasury will order an ad- ditional amount of three per cents to be issued, if necessary, to relieve the money market, Movements of General Kilpatrick. General Kilpatrick had an interview to-day with President Johnson, General Grant and Secretaries Seward, Schofield, Welles and McCulloch, and ieft here to-night for his bome in New Jersey, having received an extension of his leave of absence from Chile. He has accepted an invitation to detiver an oration on the occasion of the reunion of the Veterans of New Hampshire on the 8th of January. Internal Revenue Decisions. ‘The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has de- olded that dealers in liquors on making their returns of distilled spirits on hand are required to draw off into regular barrels what at the time may be in their stand casks in order that it may be gauged and amped. The Secretary of the Treasury bas decided that manufactured tobacco, snuff and cigars imported from foreign countries are not required to have in- ternal revenues stamp aMxed thereto and cancelied unless said articles are withdrawn from the Custom House for consumption or sale in the United States.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs to-day received information from La Paz, Arizona, of the killing of Coshackama, head chief of the Apache Mohaves, together with two of his captains and several of nis followers. It appears from ail the evidence collected that on the morning of the 26th of September, about daylight, a patty of travellers numbering thirteen, in the employ of two freightera—Chenewith aud Finter—assembied at La Paz, and arming themselves Procecded to the camp of some Apache Menaves, Probably thirty in numbor, ana commenced au at tack by dring on the Tudiags, tesuitiug as above stated. These Indians belong the Colorado River Reservation, just above La Paz, and had been in town the entire day preceding the killing. ‘They have always professed friendship for the whites and wilung at all times to assist in recapturing property stolen by marauding bands of Inaians residing in the neighboring mountains. On the person of the chief were found tain papers showing the estimation in which these Indians were held by the citizens in ihe Vicinity of La Paz. Noone in La Paz participated in or knew anything about the killing, It is urged in extenuation of the act that these Indians killed a Mr. Brown at Granite Gulch, bad scdfeh mules frou Buttman & Chapman, Wicketsburg, and | wore’ Tespvusible for ait the dépredations comuiticd be tween La Paz and Prescott. Treaties with Kansas Indians, Proclamation is made of a ratification of the treaty between the United States and the Senecas, Shaw- nees, Quapaws, Peorias, Kaskaskias, Weas, Pianke- shaws, Miamies, Ottawas and certain Wyandottes. It provides that portions of these tribes shall remove from Kansas to other landg or reservations in the Indian country south of that State, while other por- tiona will dissolve their tribal relations and become citizens, The United States wil give such compen- gation a8 is perfectly satisfactory to the Indians.

MILITARY INTELLIGENEs Parade of tho Seventh Regiments N. G. Se N.Y. The full dress parade of the Seventh| regiment, National Guard, which was announced’ in the HERALD of Sunday, was anxiously looked) for by a large number of officers of the militimand reguiar army present in the city. It was generally under- stood that preparations had been made to render the demonstration the military event of the season. 1b was taken for granted that the arrangements would be go perfect that there would be no grount for ad~ verse criticism. How far these expectations were realized by the large concourse of people who had gathered on the line of route and at Washingtén Pa- rade Ground, where the review was held, may be gathered by the following report:— ‘The regiment assembled yesterday, at two o’slock, at the Armory, and ‘after muster by the adju- tant the different commands were equa}'ted, and the battalion marched by companie:s to Lafayette place, where the line was formed. ‘The strength of the regiment as paraded was found tobe as follows:—First company, 56; Second company, . 95; Third company, 36; Fourth company, 44; Fifth cor a- any, 58; Sixth company, 27; Seventh company, 3.%> Bighin company 46; Ninth company, 31; ‘emt! comps 1; fleldand stat, 6; non commissione.t stafl, and, 40; drum corps, 30, Totai, 503. Col- onel Emmons Clark not being present, Lieutenant colonel Hoare commanded the parade whictr fol- lowed, A very large number of persons oc- cupied the sidewaiks, and the windows of the houses in the piace were © occupied by tad‘les and children, who testified their pleasure in the dts play by waving of handkerchiefs and other toke ng of satisfaction. The paracte was certainly very Gu e; no inistakes were made by the officers, and the mé 2 resented the solid appearance Which is cuaractet ~ Bite of the Seventh. It was noticeable, however , that while the regiment was at “parade rest’ mam? of the men had their muskets with butts to thé front and some had them turaed the wroug Way—an irregularity which we did not expect to sce in a pac rade of a “crack” regiment, After the parade was over Colonel Emmons Clark’ came on the ground and assumed command, and tae battalion immediately afterwards moved off in col- umn of companies. The route taken was to Broad- way and Union square, up Fourth avenue to Twenty- third strect, through Twenty-third street, Madison avenue and Twenty-sixth street to Fifth avenue and down Fifth avenue to Washington Parade Ground. The regiment looked very well in the streets, and an immense number of people marched with it (rom the atart at Lafayette piace to its arrival at Washingron Parade Ground. ‘ The review, whicn was held by Adjutant Generat Marvin at four o'clock, was, as far as could be ascer- tained by casual -glauces under tiie arms of beliger- ent policemen, pretty good. As for the march past in review nothing can be said. Th police neglected to provide for the turning out of the band, and in consequence the crowd, instead of being quietly put back in time, was assaulted with clubs, threal and cursed at. Under these aa circum- stances critics who valued whole heads paid little attention to the marching of the Seventh. After the review the regiment proceeded down Broadway to the Metropolitan Hotel, and from thence up Broadway to Union square and the Armory, whem {¢ was dismissed. MAILS FOR EUROPE.
