WasuInoron, July 26, 1870, Tho New Yacht Bill. Batabano, A provisional station will be establishea The new Yacht bill, which passed both houses last #ession, and received the approval of the Presi- dent on June 27, extends to the yachting eonfrater- nity all the privileges which they desire, It removes the restrictions formeriy placed upon yachts going abroad and provides for reciprocal privileges in the cases of the yacnts of foreign countries which ex. tend like privileges to American yachts. Ag this bill 4s of some interest just now, when so much excite- ment exists regarding the reault of tho international yacht race, I send youacopy. Its provisions are as follows:— Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America in don: assembled, That the first section of the act en- itled “An act to autnorize the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to license yachts, and for other purposes,’’ approved August seventh, eighteen hundred and forty-eight, is hereby amended by inserting, in the first clause thereof, after the words “port to port of Pte States," the words “and by sea to Suc. is That yachts bel toa nempiarty Yaoht club of any a nation whic shall extend like pavleass to yachts of the United States shall bave the privilege of entering or leaving any port of the United States without enter- ing or clearing at the cust house thereof, or pay- X. ‘ 8. That, for the identification of yachts and their owners, ® commission to sail for pleasure in aay desiguated yacht belonging to any regularly or- ganized and incorporated yachi club, stating the ex- emptions and privileges enjoyed under it, may be issued by tho retary of the Treasury, and shall be @ token of oredit to any United States oficial, and to the authorities of any foreign Power for privi- lagen enjoyed undor It. . 4, That every yaoht visiting a foreign country under the provisions of this act, shall, on tis return to the United States, make due entry at the Custom Biavad of the port at wiich, on such Teturn, it slall arrive. ° Senators Conkling and Chandler are entitled to the credit of putting the bill through the Senate, and Congressman Potter, of Westchester county, engineered tt skilfully through the House, Indeed, Mr. Potter's interest in the matter and his earnest efforts with both Senators and Representatives had Much to do with the success of the bill last session. Had {t not been for his persistent endeavors to keep it before the commerce committees of both houses there Is little doubt 1 would Lave been left as a legacy for the next session. Monuments to Deceased Congressmen. The Congressmen who have died since 1860, aa stated in my despatches to-day, have been left with- out the usual memorial in the Congressional bury- ing ground, owing to the fact that no appropriation Was made for securing monuments. At the last session some member of the Committee on Appro- priations inserted an item in the Miscellaneous Ap- propriation pill for the puichase of headstones for deceased Congressmen in the Congressional burying ground. As everybody expects to die some time or other, Congressmen included, no objection was made and the appropriation went through. It was Provided that the Cierk of the House should adver- tise for bids and that the contract should be awarded to the lowest bidder. The bids wore opened to-day at the office of the Clerk of the House. There were about a dozen bidders, ranging all the way from $2,300 to $3,000, Tne contract was awarded toa mr. Rutherford, who promises to furnish the twenty gravestones for $2,300. It appears that twenty Congressmen have died since 1860. Very few of these are buried in the Congressional ceme- very, but itis the custom to erect in that cemetery @ plain marble slab, with the name of the deceased upon it, to every member who dies. The last death ‘Was that of Senator Norton, of Minnesota. Serious Accident to an Attuche of Spanish Legation. Seflor de Pulgar, an attaché of the Spanish Lega- tion, while riding this afternoon in company with Several ladies and gentlemen of the diplomatic corps, was thrown from nis horse and seriously cut in the head and face.

Hopes are en- tertained that a fatal result will not ensue. ‘The Secretary of War on an Inspection Tour.

The Secretary of War will be absent uatil Monday, a The Alaskan Seal Fishing Contract. ‘The award of the fur seal contract has again been Postponed.

The Contestants Hourly Ex- WAS IT THE CAMBRIAt For many days past the arrival of one of the con- testing yachts in the great ocean race has beer looked for with intense interest, Next to the anxiety to hear of a bloody battle between the French and Prussians has been the desire to know the result of the peaceful contest between the Dauntless and the Cambria, Every inctdent which can give any no- Won of the progress made by either of the competing yachts has been eagerly jooked for. The following information, obtained from the.oMcers of he Ville de Paris, which arrived here yesterday, will, therefore, ve read with great interest:— It being reported that the Ville de Paris had, on Monday night, sighted a schooner, which showed the signals announced previous to the ocean yacht race as those by whitch the Cam- bria might be known by vessels passing her on the ocean, & HERALD reporter was detailed toand out the particulars from the captain of the Ville de Paris, Visiting that vessel last night the reporter was informed that Captain} surmont had retired, and that it would be impossible there- fore to seo nim. ‘ Access was obtained through the politeness of the sallors on board the vessel, and an INTERVIEW WITH THE OFFICERS" took place in reference to the sighting of a yacht at sea. The following information was obmined from them:—On Monday night, at eleven o’clock, the weather being hazy at the time, a schooner was discerned at a considerable distance off, She had the usual lights of sailing vessels, a red one starboard and a green one at the port. She steered for a short time s0 as to lessen the distance between herself and the Ville de Paris, and then threw up firsta red rocket and showed two red lights, Tnese are THE SIGNALS OF THE CAMBRIA, those of the Dauntless being a biue rocket and two blue lights, After exhibiting tho signals the schooner veered her course @ little from the direction the Ville de Paris was taking, and parted her company. The schooner was sailing against head winds, “And,” aid the chief ollicer of the Ville de Paris, ‘was about * £WO HUNDRED MILES FROM NEW YORK." Had the breeze continued blowing hard from the West, ag at the time the schooner was sighted, it would, tn the opinion of the officers of the Ville de Paris, have taken her (the schooner) until about the afternoon of Thursday to reach Sandy Hook. But THE WIND HAS CHANGED, and if blowing from the direction in which {t blew last n:ght the schooner ought to arrive here by the afternoon of to-day. This was the opinion of the officers of the steamship. In reply to the question as to whether, in case the vessel sighted was the Cambria, the Dauntless might not be ahead of her and yet not be subsequently sighte’ by the Ville de Paris, the omcers of this ves- Sel replied that such was not only possible under ordinary circumstances but stil more likely in @ hazy night like that of Monday, WATCHING OFF Ti COAST. Hailing Inward Bound Vesselsa—A Heavy Storm—Waiting for “Something to Turn Up®—The Yachts Expected Hourly. On Boanp “THR Licnrsntr,” s-QFF -ANDY Hook, July 26, 1870, Another day gone and the racers are still at sea. From dawn till night the anxiety which has hitherto prevaliea is renewed with greater intensity, Bright hopes will gladden the prospects of the yachtmen who have 80 vigiiantly maintained the lookout, It is thought, and with some reason, that either of the yachts will surely hall the lightship to-night or early in the morning. “Any sign of the yachts?" is the great question of the hour demanded of nearly every vessel bound inward. The reply is invaribly the same from all. That the contestants have gone wide of the steamer track is generally admitted, but as to the course pursucd by either very little is really known. In any case they cannot now be very far out, a8 the time allowed by experienced seamen has expired, Yet it {3 atirmed by “old men of the sea’ that twenty- five. days will be capital time. Up to the past two or three days the wind favored a southern course; that is, so far as one can learn from inward bound crafts and the condition of affairs here. It is to be regretted, however, that during yesterday and to-day head winds have extensively prevailed, and should elther of the yachts be even only a hundrea miles from the lightship she may be detained fora considerable time, A HEAVY SQUALL came on last night, accompanied by loud peals of thunder. The flashes of ligetning were extremely vivid and beautiful. Towards the lightship a heavy sea kept running and a storm was imminent, At intervals the sky was illumined bythe fuld, aud now and then the glare showed the hull of some full-rigged ship far out on the ocean. For a time the sceue was grand, especially when the lighining displayed some vessel tossing on the billows. But for @ moment the spectacle was occasinally seen, and then all was dark and gloom again. Fortunately the squall lasted only an hour; but the wind continued as before, almost due west. There is but little to-day, and it seems as if it were growing weaker. It is hoped that the winning yacht will come in triumphantly uncer a full cloud of sail in order that her entrance Into the bay will give the thousands who await her an opportuuity of witnessing the victorious craft in all her glorious array. It ia idle to speculate at this stage as to which of the yachts will first speak the lightship, as it 1s indeed useless to assert when either or both ofthem will arrive. Betting can hardly influence the opinions of thorough seamen in regard to @ coptest like this. Nobody really knows which yacht will win, and all the prejudices and vets in the world could not move either of them an inch one way or the other. So we must wait with patient expectation to see the result, erhaps no contest ever created more genuine in- terest or excitement than that now goimg on be- tween the Dauntless and Cambria. it 1s an interna- tional affair and will open the way, pernaps, to an- nual ocean races, and the time may come when our yachtmen wili think little of crossing the ocean in large numbers and competin; in the prize races on the other side. Present ocean race will assuredly have & most beneficial interest tn yachting circles, already mani- fested oy almost every yachtman on the American Continent. But there are others, too, who will learn to relish the pastime, ‘The day ts gone by when yachting must be regarded solely as an aristocratic enjoymeat. Within the past few years it has be- come extremely popular, especial:y in this country. ‘The international race between the Dauntless and the Cambria has given rise to more discussion re- specting the architectural construction of yachts than any that has ever taken place. And even in tuat light, setting aside the race, improvements and new ideas must necessarily come into vogue. Since the yachts started from Daunt’s Head lively conversations have everywhere Leen maintained as to the issue of the race, not only beiween yaciitmen, but also among the community generally. For the last day or two yachting has formed the principal theme of discussion in ail places where people eongregate—on steamboats, in hotels and ia the cars. ‘the ocean race has proved guite an inexhaustible fund for yarns of all descrip. Uons. Under all the circumstances, therefore, the contest, no matter what its termiwation may be, wiil be productive of frultral reauits. The spleadta ves- sels belonging to THE YACHT SQUADRONS are still crutaing in the Day ready at a short notice to come out to all the winner atthe ligotship.

COLORED KU KLUXES, Genoral Secret Movement Among the Colored People of Tennessee. {From the Memphis Avalanche, July 29.) : The colored lolks, particuhirly tn Davidson county, are moving. There ts, in fact, a general quiet un- derhand secret movement, It 13 common to both city aud country. It has been nottecd with appre- hension by a great number of p e in the country, who have been talking and writing to us about it for the last week. Investigation tn various directions left the conviction that there was certainly a mys- terious movement on foot. The colored people in the country hold their meetings tu the open flelds at the dead hour of the nighi, a good distance away either from the habitations of the whites or of their own folk. Their deliberations are carrled on in silence, and no reference is made afterwards to What was sald or done. Whee cornered by the re- spectable citizens who become aware of the pro- ceedings they always say that they are temperance meetings, and that they want to establish a cold water system among the colored folka, They find by experience, they ‘allege, that plelges and pro- mulses have a more binding effect When made with reat solemnity, and surrounded by mysterious tne uences; that the organization, by being seml- secret, 1§ more likely to spread rapidly and to be- come stroug in the accession to its rauks of irm ad- herents. In the city the attendants and leaders at such meetings commonly allege that their gatherings are Indignation meetings, which they found it necessary to hold in view of the many recent outrages perpe- trated upon the colored ‘people throughout the country, It is not alleged that any white persons atiend those meetings, They are Managed exclusively by colored people, aud none of the actual proceedings at any of them has been Known to leak out. The object of these nightly gatherings, as belived by the most in- telligent and observant citizens in the country, who are thoroughly acquainted with tne colored charac teriatics, 8 retaliation. They are all banding to- gether, and, it ts sald, arming, aud their design is to gather suiicient numbers, when it is deemed necessary to avenge injury, and to strike terror and rain ta the neighborhood where any insult or injury may have been offered to thelr race. These movements on the part of the colored folks are pot contined to any one or two localities. We hear of them ali over the county, and, in some instances, outside the county. We have given the various explanations offered by various partes; but whether they are cold water, ti:lignation or revengeful in their character, there ‘appears as yet no positive proof. One thing certain, the mysterious movements go on, OUTRAGE OH cooues IN SAN FAANS!SSO. [From the Alta California, July 16.) The ani-cvvlieites, last Friday evening, aid not it appears, fe wlisied with the wit orations an other alsplay they indulged an. ‘The procession halted for @ short time in front of a shoemaker'’s shop, on Sansome street, between California and Pine, which lad been Wluminated for the occaston, and while waiting for the forward movement, the anti-coolicttes amused thomselves by demolishing tie doors and windows Of the slipper factory of Hop Sing & Co., at the oppostte side of the street. bles and brickbats were showered at the door aud windows, and the terrifled Ohtnamen, who slept in the premises, fled into the yards adjotning for safety. Not satisfed with an unstinted use cobbles, one individual fired a pistol. The ball passed. through the window of Heppe & Son's paint suop situated over the slipper factory, and buried itself in. the end wall, Tho window consisted of a sin ee of plate glass of the value of seventy-five dol- jars, Which, by tits Outrageous proceeding, is rene dered worthless. Tho value of the sign painted on it ts estimated at seventy-five dollars algo. Of course the city will have to make good the damage done, while it 1s more than probable the guilly parties will escape unpunished. ‘The leaders are, however, well known, and they should be held responsible for the outrages committed. On Fifth aud Sixth streets, and also on Natoma street, Chinese wasi houses were damaged, and eo. demonstrative were the mob that a police oMcer who Witnessed one of the outrages considered tt prudent not to interfere.
