Failure of a Large Dry Goods House—Lia- bilities Over Two Millions, Great excitement was occasioned yesterday fore- noon by the rumor that the firm of Bowers, Beekman & Co., carrying on @ very extensive business in ary goods, at No. 61 Leonard street, had been com- pelied to stop payment on account of the unex- pected heavy fall in the value of woollen goods. This firm was one of the heaviest in the domestic dry goods trade, and it nad stood exceedingly well in the commercial and financial circles. For this very reason the rumor of their failure was the more starting, and many were loth to believe it. Subse- quently, however, the report proved correct, and members of the firm themselves give their liabilities as exceeding two million dollars. The precise figure could not yet be obtained, but the books are being now posted, and, in a few days at the furthest, the firm will be enabled to make out a complete and ex- act it of their liabilities and available assets ‘and lay it before thetr creditors, Much sympathy is exproseed for them ' WASHINGTON. Anticipated Difficulty in Organizing th.’ Mexi- can Claims Commission. ‘ Attempt to Defeat the Confirmation of General Sickles, THe TEST OATH IN VIRGINIA. —_— WASHINGTON, August 9, 1869. The Test Oxth ta Virginia—Order of General Canby. The following vhas just been received from Rich- mond:— GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 93, HEADQUARTERS FIR8T MILITARY DIsTRICT, | RICHMOND, Va., August 3, 1862, } So much of General Orders, No. 83, of March 22, 1969, from these headquarters, a8 requires Commis- sioners of Chancery in the class of civil office ex- eumpted from the operations of the jeint resolution of Congress, passed February 6, 1868, removing from office all persons who cannos take an@ subscribe the oath of ollice of July 2, 1869, t8 hereby revoked, aud persons holding such oMce will, in futare, be re- quested to subscribe to such oath. All persons now holding such office, who cannot take the sald oath, are hereby removed. By command of Brevet Major General CANBY. ‘The order revoked was issued by Generas Stone- map, whose construction of the law exempted a certain class of officials, not executive or judicial, from thé operation of the test oath. General Canby seems determined to enforce it in every instance, and the above oraer is regarded as an assurance that he will impose it upon the Legislature if mgher authority does not interpose; Important Despatches from Admiral Hoff. There seems to be no doubt that important despatches have been received here from Admiral Hoff, detailing the circumstances of the execution of American citizens at Santiago de Cuba, and the results of his investigations on that subject, which have been withheld for tue present from publica- tion. They will be laid before the Cabinet to-mor- row. Organized Attempt to Defeat the Confirmn- tion of General Sickles. Some of the personal and political enemies of Daniel FE, Sickles, nm and out of the republi- can party, have been quietly of organizing @ movement to defeat his nomination as Minister to Spain before the Senate. The charges relied upon are trumped up from his past political career and also from his private life. None of them are new, and nearly all of them have already appeared in a certain New York newspaper. Gene- fal Sickles seems to have been apprehensive of something of this kind before leaving for Madrid. He did not, of course, anticipate any serious difll- culty when his name should come before the Senate for confirmation, because he believed that his friends there would be strong enough to put him through. He thought it best, however, to leave the matter in charge of afriend, which he did. That gentleman wrote to Senator Sumner a few days ago calling bis attention to the organized attack being made upon General Sickles, and in reply received a letter to-day wherein Mr. Sumner, after speaking in warm terms of the ability of General Sickles and his fitness for the mission to which he has been appointed, gives assurance that so far as he (Sumner) is personally concerned he will do all he can to secure the con- firmation of General Sickles, He also expresses the opinion that there will be no opposition to him in the Committee on Foreign Relations, except from the democratic members thereof, nor in the Senate, except from the same side of the house, all of which 1s to be expected. The Mexican Claims Commission—Large Amount of Claims Against the United States. The commission created by a recent treaty be- tween Mexico and the United States to adjudicate claims of citizens of the United States against the government of Mexico, and of the latter against the United States, will meet here to-morrow. W. H. Wadsworth, the commissioner on the part of the United States, has been here for some days, and Seiior Palacio, the commissioner on the part of Mex- 100, arrived -day, in company with the new Mexi- can Minister, Sefor Mariscal. The Orat action of the commission will be to select an umpire. This prom- ises to be a matter of some diMculty, as it is under- stood the Mexican commissioner 1s opposed to a citi- zen of the United States being chosen, while of course Mr. Wadsworth does not want a Mexican. if the commission 1s unable to compromise the matter by the selection of a disinterested party, as for instance vhe representative of some foreign govornment, it is probable two umpires will be chosen, one to be named by each of the commissioners. When this business 1s settled the commission will adopt rules of procedure to be observed by the counsel on eaeh side in prosecuting and opposing claims. There is some complaint among lawyers having claims to lay before the commission on account of certain rules laid down in a circular of instructions issued by yhe Secretary of State. Mr. Fish, in construing the provi- sions of the treaty, decides that all claims presented by citizens of the,United States must be argued be- fore the commission by the counsel who appears on benaif of the government, J. Hubley Ashton, and not by the attorneys entrusted with the several cases. The counsel who represent private parties will be allowed to prepare their cases and make briefs of argument for their claims; but these are simply for the information of the counsel who appears for the government, and under the ruling of the Secretary of State these must be placed in the hands of Mr. Ashton. The commission has. the power, however, to decide whether it will proceed in this fasmon or whether it will hear the arguments of the counsel for claimants individually. The object of the Secre- tary of State was,’ it is understood, to save time, and itis thought the commission will view the matter in the same light. The number of claims on both sides is very large and greatly complicated. The Mexicans allege that those of Mexico against our government are equal in amount to the claims of citizens of the United States against Mexico. It is thought the adjudication will occupy between two and three years. Counterfeit Coupons. Three three dollar coupons of 1861, pald by the Assistant Treasurer at New York and received by General Spinner to-day, are pronounced counter- feits. They are lithographed, and badly executed. Internal Revenue Receipts. ‘The receipts of the government from internal revenue sources continue very satisfactory, and on an average are thuch higher than the returns exhi- bited at this period last year. For some time past they have averaged at least $600,000, and to-day were within a fraction of $1,000,000, Kansas Indian Affairs. Representative Clarke, of Kansas, chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs, bas arrived in this city, after an extensive tour among the Indian tribes of Southern Kansas. Mr. Clarke will have an inter- view with Commissioner Parker to-morrow, when he will represent the actual condition of the Indians im that section of the country, and also suggest that measures be taken for the removal of the Osages further south, that being, in his opinion, a great matter of interest to the Indians and government, ‘as well as to the white settlers, over 3,000 of whom are congregated on the Osage Reservation. Mr. Clarke states that the recent reports of disturbances onthe neutral lands of Kansas have been greatly exagzerated, and that thé people there are perfectly willing to submit to a legal adjudication of the title to the lands occupied by them. Prize Fight in Prospect. Charley Dougherty, the victor in a desperate prize fight in Richmond in April last, of eighty-six rounds, has challenged William Carrol, of Baltimore, who recently whipped Hicken, to fight at some point to be named hereafter.

His ““Zouave March,” dedicated to the Emperor Napoleon, which was performed for the first time at the Continental Hotel, Loug Branch, as @ part of the programme of the Sunday concert, is an exquisite piece of music.
