WASHINGTON. The Threatening War on the Plains. A Summer Campaign to be Opened by the Hostile Tribes. THE ELECTION IN VIRGINIA. Large Majority of White Conservative Voters Over the Blacks, ieee! WASHINGTON, May 7, 1869. Another Indian War Imminent. An officer who left Fort Harker, Kansas, ten days ago reports great uneasiness among the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Kiowas and some of the Comanche bands. These tribes were the objective points ef General Sheridan’s campaign into the Indian country last winter, The losses which they sustained in warriors and stock seemed to make an jmpression at the time, and évery reason was presented to lead to the belief that the tribes would be willing in the future @o remain quictly upon their reservations, The @pproach of summer, however, seems to arouse afresh their warlike spirit, and again the plains and frontier settlements are threatened with a summer of devaststion and bloodshed. The chiefs of the tribes deciure that their goods are withheld from them and the promises of the government have not been fuliied. Most of these Indians are in the vicinity of Medicine Bluff creek, and received their annuities there in February last. Those that have not come In have no right to expect anything. The complaints are considered nothing more than the forerunners of another outbreak as soon as the grass 1s suMiciently advanced and the ponies have recu- perated in strength ana flesh. New York Sensation Rumors Denied. The Secretary of State having seen statements in some of the New York papers to the effect that United States Marshal Barlow had sent a despatch to the Department of State relative to the sailing of ‘an expedition from New York for Cuba and had re- ceived no reply, Mr, Fish telegraphed the Marshal to know if he had sent such a despatch. Marshal Bar- low replied by velegraph to-day, stating that he had sent no such despatch. The story of his having Rotified the State Department about the satling of @ny expedition for Cuba and that no notice was taken thereof by the Secretary is a pure fabrication. ‘The Belgian Mission—Sanford to be Removed te Make Room for J. Russell Jones. ‘The President, it is ascertained from an authori- tative sonrce, has determined to appoint his friend J. Russell Jones, of Illinois, Mimster to Belgium. This will take up the gay and festive Sanford where the Senate left him and dispose of him effewaally. ‘The President does not feel under any persoral ob- Mgations to Sanford, while Jones is his warm per- sonal friend, and he intends to stand by him. It willbe remembered that Jones was reported to the Senate favorably by the Committee on Foreign Re- lations. His nomination was laid on the table be- cause, after Sanford had failed of confirmation for Spain, there was no vacancy at Belgium, Sanford having been transferred from Belgium to Spain, in- stead of removed. The President, however, Proposes to solve the difficulty by removing Sanford outright and appointing his friend Jones. Don’t Like Negroce—Haytiens Indignant at the Appointment of a Sable Minister. Information has been received here from Hayti to the effect that the government and people of that island are highly indignant at the appointment of a negro to represent the government of the United States at that court. It appears that the aristocratic negroes of Hayti look down with contempt upon their sable brethren in this country, and regard the action of our government in appointing a negro minister as, to say the least, a slignting of them, if not an insult. The feeling in Hayti on this subject seems to be based upon the idea that a negro was given the place because a white man could not be found who would take it. Ali the other nations, they say, had white men accredited to their courts, ‘with the exception of Hayti and Liberia, both negro governments, and nobody but negroes would take ‘these places. The thing is regarded as a good joke ‘at the State Department and in government circles ‘The Approaching Election in Virginia~Large Increase of White Voters—End of Negro Supremacy in the Old Dominion—Negro Candidates for Congress. ‘The statement which appeared tn certain journals the other day to the effect that representatives of the late Virginia Convention were in this city to see the President proves to be entirely inaccurate. One or two gentlemen from that State may have sought in- terviews, but they claimed no representative capa- city whatever. The committee appointed by the Convention to wait on the President in rela- tion to the submission of the constitution to the people for ratification or rejection consists of Messrs. R. T. Daniel, Judge Meredith, Juage Mar- shall, W. H. Macfarland, General Anderson and other conspicuous and infuential citizens, all chosen with special reference to their holding mode- rate views, in accordance with the line of policy which controlled the recent Conven- tuon. This committee has not yet reached tne city, but are expected soon to arrive, and the Presi- dent has signified his readiness to receive them. Governor Wells had his say some days since about the constitution, and the President has heard also Mr. Gilbert C. Walker, who is the candidate for Gov- ernor of the other wing of the republicans. The conservative committee will ask, it is understood, for @ separate vote on the test oath and disfranchise- ment clauses, the county organization features and the provision which denies to the Legislature power to pass a relief or stay law for the temporary relief of debtors. The President's views are known to be against the disiranchisement, test oath and county orgunization, and a separate vote will doubtiess be given on each. On the stay law question he is un- committed, though it is understood that the Present military order on the subject, which gives consideraole relief to the debtor class, was ap- Proved by him as promptly as it was tardily by John- fon. The same state of things still existe as then— embarrassment from a failure of crops and @ want Of a State government—and the President would be ‘Willing, doubtless, to see the new Legislature free to act on the question as the interests of the people may require. An important question still remaining to be settled is, whether, in addition to the vote on sections, the vote shall be taken on the remainder of the constitution or on the instrument as a whole. It is argued that the latter would compel many to vote against it who are anxious to have the remainder adopted and a State government organized. Nothing has been done yet towards a new regis- tration, but it is probable the order for an eiection ‘will be issued by the latter part of the ensuing week and @ new registration ordered at the same time. Many whites failed to register at the last oc- casion, and there has been no registration since the autumn of 1867. There will be an addition of 20,000 ‘whites to the lists and of some thousand negroes, but quite as many of the latter will be stricken from the lists, and the white majority on the lists can- Not fali much below 30,000, Under the present registration the whites have some 15,000 majority; but by the apportionment created by the Underwood constitution the negroes have largely the control of the Legislature. This apportionment will ve changed, if the Wells party lose the Legislature, 80 a8 to conform to the relative vote of the two races. Tho late Conservative Convention waived the suffrage issue, accepted the situation and withdrew their distinctive party ticket, headed by Colonel Withers, They meant by this line of policy to pave the way for electing the Walker republican ticket, The contest is thus narrowed down to a straggle between the Wells and Walker wings of the republicans, and the friends of the latter claim he ‘will get Afty thousand majority. They expect a con. Miderable vow from various loyal leagags whigh NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1969—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘they control. They will get probably the entire con servative vote, though 8 few soreheads may refuse to vote at all. ‘The fight for Congress will be mainly between the carpet-baggers and the Walker repubil- cans. The conservatives have no Congressional can- Gidates in the field, save one, and there is much talk of running negroes against the carpet baggers in the Norfolk, Richmond and other districts. There will be a hot straggle over the Legislature, and more doubt about this than other officers. Virgin- ans now here say the Fiiteenth amendment will be ratified if necessary to secure admission. An import- ‘ant point is whetner the election shall be limited to a single day. It is argued that having it for three days tends to extensive colonization and a repetition of the frauda by which the city of Richmond was car- rie at the last election. The President will weigh this matter and all others very carefully and give due weight to all proper suggestions. He is exceed- ingly anxious for the succtes of reconstruction in ‘Virginia, and his idea is to try the matter there first ‘and take up Mississippi and Texas afterward. The Tesuit, so far, indicates the policy of his message, and even Governor Wells is at last out in 8 letter ac- cepting the Grant platform, on which the new move- ment was based. The election will be held early in July, unless there be some change of programme. Favorable Condition of Southern Affairs. The committee appointed by the Southern ex- cursionists, Just returned to Washington, consisting of Ex-Governor Ward, Colonel Forney, General Van Wyck and Clinton Lioyd, had along interview with President Grant this morning, touching the business, educational and other interests in the Southern States, which they represented tobe in an improv- ing condition. The President expressed satisfaction with the results of the mission, and his belief that it would be productive of results. The Alexandria Union League. The Alexandria Union League sent a colored spokesman to the President this morning to ascer- tain when a delegation of the League may have a conference with him relative to affairs in Virginia. The President consented to see them to-morrow. Another Character in the Woman Suffrage Farce. The question of woman’s rights in the District is to receive a strong testin the coming June elections. To-day Mrs. Mary T. Corning, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, appeared before the registration board of the Fifth ward and made a formal aemand to be regis- tered. She also made the same demand in behalf of Miss Clara Barton, who did not sppear in person, owing to a temporary illness. The board received the demand in writing and promised to return an answer in sufficient time before the books shall be closed to permit their registration in case it shall be decided to register women. The Rejection of the Alabama Claims Treaty Sent to England. Senator Sumner’s supposition that the fact of the rejection of the Alabama claims treaty was sup- pressed by the British government has no founda- tion. The announcement was promptly sent over the cable to Reuter’s Telegraph Company and was published in the London papers on the 14th of April. The East Indian Telegraph Campany. Governor Curtin, President of the East India Tele- graph Company, and A. K. McClure, Solicitor of the corporation, had interviews with the Secretaries of State and Navy to-day in relation to the introduc- tion of telegraphs into China. The company have a grant procured by Mr. Burlingame, when he was the American Minister in China, authorizing them to lay @ cable between Canton and Shanghae, thus con- necting the commercial cities of the Asiatic coast by telegraph. They have five hundred mules of cable ready to ship and lay down, and will have the re- maining five hundred miles ready to ship during the summer. Orders will be issued to the Commander of the Asiatic squadron to render all the necessary aid and protection. The State Department will in- struct our Minister and Consuls to give their official aid to the enterprise. This line will be completed during the present year, and by that time there will be a continuous line from the Mediterranean Sea by India to China, thus connecting the commercial cities of the Asiatic coast with Europe and America, Appointments by the President. ‘The President made the following appointments bap keg B.

The first two appointments of the Special Cus- toms Agents by Secretary Boutwell were made yes- terday, and are Frank E. Howe, for the Eighth Customs district at New York, and John T. McLean, for the Second district at San Francisco. Other ap- pointments in this branch of the Treasury service will be made to-day. Chief Clerk of the Pension Bureau. C. S. Trevitt, of New York, has been appointed chief clerk of the Pension Bureau. Pressure of Business in the Treasury Depart- ment. Although the halls of the State Department are no longer the daily rallying point of an agitated and expectant throng of aspirants for foreign honors, the clerical force of the department is busily occupied in pressing through the accumulation of work on therr hands. During the terrible days of conflict ‘with the myriads of ofMfice-seekers the labors of the department were absorbed in investigating the claims of the various applicants and in making ap- pointments. The Secretary has now determined to bring up the work, and therefore will give no atten- tion to the pressare for appointments in the plac es still unfilled. It is understood that no appointments will be made, except in extraordinary cases, for a month or more. This will give plenty of time to square up matters and prepare for a new start. Departure of the Peruvian Minister. Peruvian Minister Garcia took leave of the Presi- dent this morning in a farewell speech. The Presi- dent, in reply, hoped the friendly relations would continue between Pera and this country. Secretary Fish accompanied the Minister. Purchase of Bonds by the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury will purchase five- twenty bonds to the amount of $1,000,000 each week, and has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to receive proposals therefor. Refanding Internal Revenue Taxes. Regulations are being prepared by Solicitor Smith, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, fixing the kind and amount of proof required from railroad companies, corporations and individuals who have been taxed a8 non-resident aliens under a provision of the Inter- nal Revenue act, which was repealed March 10, 1866, and who now apply to have the amount of tax which was withheld while the act remained in force re- funded. The nature of the proof required will be the afddavit of the claimant, attested by an additional aMdavit from some other responsible party and the certificate of the Consular Agent nearest the port to which the claimant belongs that he is anon-resident alien. The Texas Indemnity Bonds. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day paid to Judge Paschal, attorney for Texas, two of the indemnity bonds embraced in the great suit of Texas va. White, Chiles and others. Judge Paschal has commenced suits in the Supreme Court against the First Na- tional Bank of Washington and others for the re- covery of large amounts of these bonds, which were Not included in the original suit. It is hts intention to pursue all persons tn America and England who have converted any of these bonds. The bonds are now useless to the holders, the court having decided that they are not megotiable without endorsement, Notes Redeemed at the Treasury Depart- ment. ‘The First National Bank of Jackson, Miss., haa deposited with the United States Treasurer an amount suMcient to cover its entire circulation. ‘The notes of that bank are therefore redeemed at tne Treasury Department, Increase of Smuggling on the Northern Fron. ther.

Order to Navy Yard Commandants. It is understood that the Secretary of the Navy has issued an order to the effect that the commandants of navy yards shall respect all orders issued by Ad- miral Porter the same as If issued oy the Secretary himself. These orders are to be signed “A. E. Borie, Secretary of the Navy, per D. D. Porter, Ad- miral.” This order is issued to enable Admiral Por- terto act in the absence of the Secretary of the Navy. Adjournment of the Dyer Court Martial. The Dyer court has adjourned sine die. General ‘Thomas left yesterday for San Francisco, and Gen- era! Terry for Atlanta. The finding of the court has not yet transpired. , Patent Case Decided. The case of 8. R. Rowley vs. J. L, Mason, in which large New York and Philadelphia interests are involved as to fruit jars, was finally decided to- day by Judge Fisher, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, in favor of Rowley. THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT. The Final Contest for the Cue—Deery Wins It. Yesterday was the eleventh day of the contest for the champion’s cue, and the most interesting aay of The attendance was larger by far than at any all. previous time. In the afternoon the match was be- tween Goldthwaite, of this city, and Snyder, of Chicago, and was the closest yet played. Snyder won by 35 points, making an average of 20. His best run was 193; Goldthwaite’s, 145. In the evening the match was between Rudolphe and Deery, the first a Chicago and the latter a New York man. Both had played five games, and both had lost one; each had shown fgreat skill, but their In single shots and average runs Rudolphe had proved himself the better man; but in the ability to make large runs In the matter of coolness, on which so much depends, the superiority whose affected by Not only the skill of the players, who had not previously been pitted against each other, but the fact that the match was to decide the contest for the cue, gave to the game last evening the most intense interest.

Not until the game seemed to have been by neral consent given to Deery, and Rudolphe, ne along by the general currrent, had appar- ently given it up himecit and become reckless of the result, it would seem, did he in that self-) sion that left him unfettered. At the first call Deery stood 154 to Rudolphe’s 27. At the third he was ahead, and at the fourth, though by no means so far as at the first, the score standing 201 to 235. From this point Deery began to widen the gap again, getting some pretty good runa, while Rudolp! Re made, if possible, poorer ones than he had been. making. At the next call Deery was abi and at the seventh his score was 516 inst 272. ‘This call was the occasion of the most hearty ap- plause of the evening. The score at the eighth call stood still in Deery’s favor 654 to 369; at the ninth, 728 to 399; at the tenth, 728 to 411. From this point Rudolphe began to play much better than at any other time in the prodress of the game, while Deery began to fail off most unexpectedly, many times failing to count and making but three on four suc- ceasive runs. This shift in the fortunes of the game was greeted with the most noisy demonstrations of applause, Notwithstanding this there were many in the audience who were not at all content to see the chances of Rudolphe improving and let no b/g oe of sowing their exultation over his mishaps. ‘The next call was 750 for Deery against 504, for the next 792 to 617, and on the fourveenth Deery was but ane The third call afver this showed Deery 202 ahead, after which he fell off to 167, but again widened ¢ the gap so that at the next call he was in advance of Kudoiphe 184.

Quite a breeze has been kicked up here in regard to the articie im the Bohemian organ attacking Governor Hoffman in regard to his action opposing the Schooi bill. The foolhardineas of the Bohemians im thus unmasking their settled purpose of playing into the hands of the republican party by fomenting discord in the democratic ranks, in thus assatling Hoffman at the pinnacie of his power and popular- ity, is remarkable. The swearing is loud, deep and universal at the “little Jew. The article, like that the other day, in the same paper, hinting that the Governor's vetoes were mere shams got up to be overridden, vrei malice in every line. The democratic 01 here came out in a quietly bitter reply, showing up the falsity of the premises and ents of article in question. course all know that the Schoo! a pati Bestcd ateatee se eats” dena he School Pe J ae ee i rei te given to the Mager 9 gutganinelied = except a 9 presented that = ‘and member of Abaombly, resentatives join in heaping anathemas on the treachery and apostacy of the reputed democratic “course of this pay tn hauling down the just before the ential fghtis revived and fe \d up as the beginning of the career of purc! defection, ce 80 consistently maintained by that journal. e “endorsement « procured for it a few ‘weeks ago is also widely «it n | yet paper, can jon of that paper, here afew weeks to, bogging, for the endorsement of the State oe = ye de! ig A * for the {ture that it was falling off in | oe and if it could be ap DN | it would at el ae ey who pam oP the weekly vassing the State, was cratic Comment it, The members of the State indignant at the vene- Table gentleman for ‘und to represent the committee without aut the committee were to meet now they wi the demo- cratic organ and U) the legitimate deacendants of the ancient faith.

Mr. O'Neill told the Marshal that he did no bust- ness with his except his own wot busine but that he sent ‘loads of rangun in to and Sove® this city several times Marshal Tooker asked Mr. ‘Nei if his cart had License Bureau. he thought it was just or right that the Mayor or his representative should protect people who did not comply with the ordinances regulating their ness in this city, to the detriment of those who paid license fees and were held amenable to the laws and ordinances. If a New York vehicle was 4 by Mr. O’Netll’s wagon, under existing cireum- stances the injured party would have no place to apply for redress, as he would not know whom to mplain of. The Marshal further assured Mr. OmNetIl that if his carts or trucks used the streets of New York and, while doing so, claimed 1f necessary the protection ‘of the New York police, he must com- ply with the fawsand ordinances. That it would be njust to compel taxpayers in this city to pay Hetnses and allow non-residents free use of the streets subject to no regulations. ‘The law allowed the Marshal to impose a fine of ten doilars, but in this instance he charged only five dollars. Mr. O'Neill paid the fine, but assu the Marshal that he did sounder protest. He seemed to be arguing on the ground that he was not obliged to have his vehicles licensed and did not understand the Marshal, althongh the latter assured him it was necessary only to have the name and number of his lace of Business on his tracks. Mr. O'Neil) could not Interpret the law in that way, and the Marshal told him he so peed eo the law, and in his bureau so enforced it, that the trucks and carts must be properly named and numbered. “BOGUS INTELLIGENCE OFFICES have again come to light.
