Bxultation in Londen at the Success of the Cambria. Lonpon, July 28, 1870. ‘There 1s immense exultation here’ at the success Of te Cambria in the international yacht race, AFTER THE STRUGGLE, ‘The excitement of the ocean race over, and the logs.of the competing yachts having been placed before the world. the prominent topic of conversa- tion throughout the city yesterday was upon the re- gultof the great event. It is unnecessary to re capitulate or criticise the details of the contest, already so fully published. Enough that the strug- gle is at an end and that the victor was hatled with all the triumph he go well deserved. An hour be- fore the Cambria passed the lightship yesterday Uhere were probably not half a dozen yachts within sight of each other. The moment, however, that the expected signal was given they came togethér in happy unison, and greeted the winning craft with appropriate honors, The welcome tendered her ‘was hearty and sincere, and fully justified the an- tucipations of the thousands who rushed from the clty to witness the spectacle, It was just in the midst of the demonstration that the news spread that the Dauntless was at hand, and the enthusiasm accordingly increased. Perhaps a prettier sight was seldom witnessed m. the bay than that'seen yester- day afternoon as the two racers lay at anchor witnin @ stone’s throw of each other. Yachts rushed to them as fast as and for hours salutes resounded from ail quarters. It was a consolation to ali to know that the great ocean race was over and all anxiety was at an end. It was a iong time since the vicinity of Staten Island ‘Was so thoroughly animated, and it was near mid- night ere the festivities were brought to @ close. But after the tempest comes a caim. The scene Opposite the club house yesterday afternoon was to- tally different from what it had been on the day pre- ceding. Not that it was less enchanting, yet the ex- citement had ceased and a general lull prevailed, In the morning the contestants lay at anchor, showing the signs of their lengthened passage. ‘To the right and left of them lay the yachts of the squadron, and Bave for the weather-beaten look of the racers a care- less observer could not have drawn much distinc- tion between them. The Dauntless will go to the ‘Ways at the foot of Tenth street to-aay, where she ‘will be overhauled. As already stated, there was little or no excite- ment in the bay yesterday. Crowds of visitors came down during the day to visit the contestants, Almos every pleasure craft that passed by the anchorage ground gave salutes, while thelr occupants raised hearty cheers. As usual, a large number of yachts ‘were cruising from the Narrows to the hghtship. Among the yachts in the vicinity of the club house yesterday afternoon, were the Phantom, Fleet- wing, Alice, Fleur de Lis, Halcyon, Madeline, Magic, Rambler, Tidal Wave, Restless, Alarm and others, It is thought that very few cruises will be taken by any of the yachts until after the race for the cup ‘won by the America—a contest, by the way, which ‘Will create @ vast amount of interest. THE CAMBRIA AND TRE AMERICA, Scenes and Incidents at the Brooklyn »avy Yard Yesterday—The English and American Victors at Rest-Mr. Ashbury’s Future Movements. At half-past eight yesterday morning the Cam- ria weighed anchor off Clifton and stood up the bay for her objective point—the Brooklyn Navy ‘Yard. Early ia the morning, hundreds who take the early boats for New York, made it a point to so time their arrangements that they could inspect the Cam- ‘bria and Dauntless to their heart’s content. Hence for hours before and after breakfast the shores along Braten Island were lined with spectators, As ’ ‘THE CAMBRIA MADE UP THE BAY, ‘with @ southcast wind blowing moderately, she was cheered, tugs and steamers dipped their colors, ladies saluted with their handkerchiefs, and, it is feared, with their expressive lips. Commodore Ash- bury, fying the colors of the Royal Harwich Ciub, paced the deck and returned the courtesies re- ceived on his way up the harbor by dippmg bf colors and other manifestations of reciprocity. When the Cambria arrived about the Fuiton ferry the numerous throngs of morning passengers on board the boats all ogled the victorious craft and triticised her appearance, many condemning her want of beauty in her head boom, and others pro- elaiming that even at sight she was A VERITABLE CLIPPER. Passing up the East river the Cambria was towed upto the Navy Yard, opposite the dry dock, and Was #00n warped invo the wharf, where she was secured by hawsers at nine A.M. The news soon spreak that the English yacht was at the yard, Naval officers, blue jackets, ladies, civilians, the youthfol builders of the English tongue owing fealty to the Brooklyn press; young men who knew nothing about yachting; young men who knew next to nothing about the game subject, and, as usual, those who knew all, began a precipitate invasion of the ‘@chooner’s deck. Mr. Ashbury seemed willing, and this was all that was necessary; but the sailora strongly binted that next to seeing the Cambria was the delightfal companionship of “SPLICING THE MAIN BRACE.” Some ot the crew, shipped on the other side, had ‘heard of the American style of gaining admission to the bar, and the jolly tars thought that they mighs draw up their pleadings without a long tutorship under Blackstone and Kent. They heard that ail Ahey had to do was simply to signify, and having sig- nifled, the significance of the demand would at once whe ruled as adenissible. This, however, was a ‘tort,’ wasthey soon aw, and the seamen soon relaxed ‘their efforts, and concluded that such a thing as “eplicing the main brace’ was a very uncommon evolution among Americas landsmen. The seamen on board the Cambria, bowever, would talk and freely diseuss the late conteat. They all agreed that it was.a very close contest, and they were all glad that the Dauntless made the close run that she did. Some LANDSMEN, sho had evidentiy apent the largest portion of their Hives in hoeimg corn, boardea the Cambria to talk over models anda navigation down to nautical astronomy. They cemented themselves to the tars ‘by the natural adhesion supposed to fasten the scion ef agriculture to the son of Neptune. Our friends Jrom the potato hilis found comfortable chairs M@taong the loose spars and ropes’ enus forward on the forecastie; and Jack sat down fat on the deck and the colloquy proceeded, Jack would lash seve- Fal extremely rigid sentences together on the perils lof the\recent race, give a long discourse on icebergs and whales, after which the other side would dive $nto the\liquid depths of seamanship, “You say you took the northern passage?” “Of course we did; we took the right course.” “Well, tho Dauntless would have beaten you if sho Badn’t Jost two hours.” “And we would have beaten her more if we nadn’t Bive days of calzus.” “But the Daumpless had calme,’* : “@ppposing sheulid ?”” “Why, then, of course the Dauntless would have ‘Won, wouldn't she?

In'the meantime the Cambria will proceed on a cruise to the West Indies and await the arrival of her owner at some convenient port in the tropical latitudes. THE CBALLENGE CUP. Below 1s printed an abstract of the correspondence which passed between Mr. Ashbury and the New York Yacht Club, beginning in 1868 and closing February 13, 1870. It will be seen that the owner of the Cambria conforms to the imposed conaitions that must govern all competition for the Challenge Cup. The New York Yacht Cinb has not yet fixed any date for the imternational struggie for this cup of; 1851, but it will take place before . the annual cruise. The committee having charge ot the matter is to procure a steamboat for the exclusive use of members, and the ladies &ecompanying them. The regatta for the Cup will take place now inside of three wecks, It is believed that the course selected will be the usual Tegatta course—from Owl’s Head to the lightship off Sandy Hook and return, This great occasion will be intensified in interest by the entry of the original yacht America by the Navy Department, and now sailed by Commander Richard W. Meade, United States Navy. The America is in fine condition. It is also believed that the Maria will participate fn the struggie. She has been overhauled and re- fitted, and 1s now a frutterer. SCHOONER CAMBRIA, OFF Coast oF SPAIN, Oct. 3, 1868, ay THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEW YoR& YacuT SLUB: SIR—As the owner of the English schooner yacnt Cambria, which some time ago won tne race round the Isle of Wight against the American schooner Sappho and three crack English vessels, 1 cannot but regret the accideut te your representative ves. sel, and also my Inability to have remained in Eng- land to again race her round the Wight or across to the coast of France. 1 am now on a@ cruise along the coasts of Portugal and Spain, &c., a jour- ney which I postponed at great ainconve- mence in order to give me the piea- sure of being courteous to the extent of allowing me to enter against so splendid a vessel asthe Sappho, the property of Ainerican gentle- men, and 1 am in hopes this communication will show the owners of the Sappho that they may pro- bably have an opportunity of again testing her qualities against the Camoria and in American waters. All Englishmen believe that, taken as a whole, the art of yacht building received a great stimulus by the acknowledged victories of the America in 1861, and now equally hope aud believe that the leading English yachts can hold their owu against the world; but America excepted, there are no yachts which Wwe think stand auy reasonable dygree of success against our vessels of the last few years, All yacht. Men, as well as others, duly appreciute the compli- ments your New York club have paid us by trom time to time sending vessels over to this country, and it is @ source of much regret on this side the water that those compliments have not been reci- procated by any ieading yacht clab deputing one or more of their crack vesseis to go to New York waters for racing purposes, So much dol feel on this subject, that I proposea to one of the leading clubs last winter to send to New York an invitation for two or three or more ves sels to come over in time for the races at Cowes and Ryde this year, and then for several ot our leading yachts to saul them back to New York; and in order to tempt our friends over here, I proposed that spe- cial subscriptions should be solicited from each member of a yacht club, wherewith to form a large iund for giving splendid prizes, irrespective of wnat the clubs might give. At the meeung in question | ofiered to suvscribe any sum up to £500, and to enter the Cambria for the return race to New York. I mention this in no egotistical spirit, but simply to show that I desire to fairly test the merits of my ves- sei against those of America in rough as well as smooth waters. Unfortunately, this arrangement could not be carried out, a8 most of the owners gene- rally leave off yachting after the Wight ruces for grouse and partridge shooting, or to go abroad. Before my yachung time your schooner Amer- ica, in 1851, haa the honor of winning the Cup pre- sented by her Majesty to the Royal Yacht Squadron, and Iam led to beleve that the New York Yacht Club (or the winner) have in the most friendly and courteous manner offered the Cup in question to be sailed for in New York waters, to any English yacht ‘which wili compete for it. Itis an esteemed honor for any Englishman to win at any time ‘the’ Queen’s Prize; but I venture to think none would be so much Valued ag the one so triumphantly taken away ip '51 Dy the America, and subject to conditions which 1 hope will be deemed equitable and reasouable toall concerned.

A watch at cricket was yesterday played between the second elevens of the clubs above named, and Tesulted in the defeat of the Dragon Slayers by thirty runs in the frst inning. The ground of the New York Club, whereon the match was played, is Pleasantly located at the foot of Ninth street, Hobo- ken. A fine pitch had been prepared, and the timely showers of the previous night had put the fleid in excellent trim for cricket. Both eievens were early on the ground, and tne St. Georges, having won the toss, elected to go to the wickets. The batsmen were opposed first by round arm and afterwards py under hand bowling, which latter, owing to the ground belng somewhat ‘dead, was very effective. In this inuing Gisborne, Lancy, Gordon and Fortan batted well on behalf of the St. Cyne yor their con- butions being ctively 17, 16, 15 and 10 runs. ie innings closed for the respectable total of 82 runs. There was considerable room for improve- ment in the flelding of the New York men, but that of Bricknell at point and Tyler at wicket was much admired and deserves special mention, It was now the New Yorkers turn to handie the willow, and they did this to such good effect that, notwithstanding the streuuous efforts put forth by their adversaries to stem the tide of de- leat, they had surpassed the score made by the latter before their seventh wicket had fallen. The Match was ly decided at this semip oae the time to draw wickets being still tn futuro the game Was continued. The innings closed for a total of 112 runs, being 30 ahead of their opponents. The principal scorers were Messrs. Kerr & Higginson, who each secured 31 runs, for which both played well. The latver especially showed considerable science. Throughout the greater part of this inning the field- ing of the St. Georges was hardly up to the mark, and “mutts” were quite frequent. Maynard at wickets, however, was very active. St. George com! @ second innings, and when time was called had run up the large score of 181 rans for the loss of only six wickets. Of this Dumber Gordon made fifty-six runs by hard though safe all round. He received quite an ovation on retarning to the pavilion. Stead also scored well, bis quota being twenty-nine (not out), Below the score of the first innings is given in NEW YORK. » Bowri Shes . Lan ©. Bowring, tun. Higham, b. Fort Guille, it.

The Board of Indian Commissioners’ met on Wednesday evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel tor reorganization and action, under the new clause governing them in the Indian Appropriation bill of the last Congress, There were present Felix R. Brunot, of Pittsburg; Robert Campbell, of St. Louis; Wilham E. Dodge, Nathan Bishop and Vincent Col- yer Of New York; George H, Stuart, of Philadel phia, and John D. Lang, of Maine. Mr. Brunot was re-elected chairman and Mr. Cot- yer secretary of the Board. Communications were received from the Secretary of the Interior, Hon. E, 8. Parker, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, was present, and on behalf of the government requested the aid of the commission to ascertain the wishes of the Osage Indians in regard to their removal to the Indian country, and obtain- ing the same to assist them in such removal; to supervise the payments to the Pottawattamies, Weas and affiliated bands in Kansas and the Creeks in the indian Territory; and while there to ascertain the cause of the reported troubles near Fort Sill, Cam Supplys to vis(t Red Cloud at Fort Laramie, ai Spotted Tail on the White river; lonate their agen- les, &¢., and to assist him in the selection, inspec- tion, storage and transportation of Indian ‘annuity goods, ‘The Board appointed Messrs. Farwell, Lang and Colyer, @ committee to consult with the Osages, supervise the payment of the Pottawattamies, Weas and Creeks, and to visit the Indian Territory. Messrs, Brunot.and Campbell are to attend to Red Cloud, Spotted Tail and the Sioux nation; and Messrs. Stuart, Dodge and Campbell will promptly assist Mr. Parker in the purchase of Indian goods, The first floor of the large warehouse on Canal street, corner of Greene, hus been secured at a nomigal rent from Mr. Eisiin for the purpose of storage and inspection of the goods, and they will be advertised for to-day. Sufficient time for a thor- ough inspection will be allowed, and the services of experienced inspectors have been secured, though the lateness of the season and the restless condi- tion of the tribes, owing to the long delay of Con- gress in voting the mouey, make the utmost de- spatch necessary In the forwarding of the goods. It is hoped that the whole of the supplies will be purchased, inspected and forwarded within the next twenty days. The Board resolved that the Committee on Pur- chasing, in consultation with General Parker, re- commend that each party submitting proposais tor goods shail send with the proposals samples of the goods they propose to furnish at the prices offered. ‘The committee belteve that this will facilitate the purchase and secure a better quality of goods. ‘The action of the President in placing the Indians. on the reservations under the charge of Christian. societies is commented on as follows:— Resolved, That the Board of Indian Commissioners heart- ily approve of the plan adopted by the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Interior and the Commis- moner of Indian Atfaia of pincing the Indian nations and tribes under the care of the various Christian denominations of the country, and to secure men of high moral qualification to be entrusted with the superintendeucies and agencies, and that we earnestly solicit from the Christian denominations of the couniry their co-operation with the government in carry- ing out the said plan. The secretary of the Board will be found at the corer of Canal and Greene strects for several days. Its betieved that the prompt action thus taken will result in removing all cause for discontent among the various Indian tribes and prevent ive renewal of Indian hostitities. All supplies of agricultural implements, seeds, &c., that cam be best obtained in the West will be pur- chased there. Supplies for the Pacific coast will be purchased in California, John V.

It was rumored about town yesterday that Admt- ral Farragut was lying dangerously 11 at his resi- dence in this city. The fact is that the admiral, with his family, a short time ago went to Ports- mouth, N. H., to spend @ few days with the Ad- miral of that port, and on Tuesday a letter was re- ceived in this city informing a relative of his that he haa had another severe attack of his old disease (of the heart); but since that time nothing relating tohis condition has been received in this city. This fact of itself leads his friends to believe thathe 1s nut dangerously ill. SAMY INTELLIGENCE, WASHINGTON, July 28, 1870. Captain Louis KE. Crone and First Lieutenant E. C.

China Limiting Coolie Importation Only to the Treaty Powers. Proposed Reforms in the Trea- sury Department. The Ku Klux Klan in North Caro- lina to be Exterminated. WASHINGTON, July 28, 1870, Coolle Laborers—Their Exportation Limited by the Chinese Government. Information has been received from General Le Gendre, Consul at Amoy, that the Chinese govern- ment has limited the exportation of Chinese labor- ers to the vessels of the treaty Powers, and the Consul seems to be of the opinion that the eftect of this will be to decrease or prevent this kind of emi- gration. The statute passed by Congress in 1862 forbids the exportation in United States vessels of the inhabitants or subjects of China known as coolics to be transported to any foreign country, port or place whatever, to be disposed of or sold or trans- ferréd for any term of years, or for any time what- ever, as servants or apprentices, or to be held to service or labor. It 18 provided, however, that nothing therein contained shall be deemed or con- Btrued to apply to or affect any free or voluntary emigration of any Chinese subject or to any vessel carrying such person or passenger on board the same; but such voluntary passenger must have a certificate from the Consul at the port of embarking showing that the Consul has inquired Into the case and is satisfied that he is @ voluntary emigrant. The Secretary of State is not aware that any coolies are being Imported into the United States in the sense in which “coolies” appear to be used in the statute, It has, however, come to the knowledge,of the Department, through two despatches from the Consul at Hong Kong, that two ship loads of Chinese emigrants have sailea for New Orleans. These are said by the Consul.to have been free and voluntary emigrants, and not only willing, but anxious, to go. The Consuls of the United States in China are re- quested to rigidly observe and enforce the provisions of the act of 1862, The subject continues to occupy the serious attention of the Department; but the in- structions which have been issued to the representa- tives of the United States in this respect cannot pro- perly be made public at present. Consul Le Gendre says the order of the Foreign Board in Pekin provides that only treaty Power mer- chants can open emigration agencies, only treaty Power ships can carry such emigrants, and it is only to. treaty Power countries such contract emt- grants can proceed, The coolie trafic is prohibited at Macao, By this order the Convention of 1866, rejected by both France and England on the ground that it amounted toa prohibition of the coolie trade at the treaty ports, becomes a law of the empire, binding upon the native local authorities. The Con- sul says, under the new rule, the traMc must die orf, for it has ceased to be lucrative, end the lawful emigration of natives to the various States being confined to Hong Kong may soon become a mono- poly in our hands, Assessment of Salaries of Goverament Em- ployes for Political Purposes. The Finance Committee of the National Repubit- can Committee, composed of Zach Chandler, Con- gressman Platt, of Virginia, and General Ketcham, of New York, have issued a circular letter ad. dressed to all government empioyés assessity thora at the rate of one per cent on their incomes for campaign purposes, The reception of these circu- lars by the clerks in the departments here to-day provoked a growl of dissatisfaction, if not rebelliou, Some of them declare that rather than submit to it they will risk the chance of losing their places, It is not usual to issue these circulars ex- cept in the Presidential canvass, and the fact that one is issued at this time is regarded with nfiach dis- favor. It is understood that private parties who have heretofore subscribed liberally to promote the success of the republican party failed to respond this year. Hence the raid upon the salaries of the government office holders, Summer Recreation of Secretary Boutwell— Contemplated Reforms in the Treasury Department. The Secretary of the Treasury will leave to- morrow for a visit to his home in Massachusetts. During his absence W, A. Richardson, tormeriy As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury, will be in charge of the department, and will be Acting Secretary, Mr. Richardson made his appearance at the Treasury Department to-day, and to-morrow he will be for- mally sworn in as Secretary pro tempore—the Presi- dent having forwarded him a commission for that position from Long Branch. One of the tasks to which Mr. Richardson will address himself will be to put mm operation the plan devised by Secretary Boutwell for consolidating several of the divisions of the department, reducing the number of oficlals and clerks, and simplifying the business, with a view to reducing expenses. Secretary Boutwell has had this in view for some time, and has been consulting with his assistants so as to ascertain what ref could be made which would at once lesson the ex- penditures and promote the efficiency of the public service. Everybody who has had business with the Treasury, or indeed with any of the Executive De- partments, Knows how difficult it ts to accomplish anything except by a tedious delay. People have been compelled to wait weeks and months for what ought to be done in afew days. The Secretary has discovered that this is largely owing to the inuitl- tude of bureaus and divisions which grew out of the war, and which have drawn together a nost of | oMcials, whose chief business 13 the study of “how uot to do it.” In view of the contem- plated changes there is a great amount of tre- pidation among the heads of divisions, who have had a soft thing of it for years past, owing to the prevalence of the red tape policy in the transaction of the pubtic business, Secretary Boutwell now proposes to do what A. T. Stewart would probably have done at once had he become Secretary of the Treasury, to wit—conduct the busi- ness of the department upon the same principles as the business of private concerns are conducted, only on a more enlarged scale, The Troubles in North Carolina—The Ku Klux Klan to be Exterminated. A gentleman just atrived from North Carolina, who 6 of the radical persuasion, saya it is the in- tention of Governor Holaen, of that State, to make an example of the members of the so-called Ku Klux Klan who have been arrested there. It 13 alleged that there is proof sufMicient to establish the fact that they belong to this secret political organi- zation, and if this can be done Governor Holden Proposes to have them shot under authority of martial law, which has been pro- claimed throughout the State. In this it is sald Holden will be sustained by the President, who 1s anxious to put an end to the disturbances which have taken place in various parts of the South owing to the existence of the so called Ku Klux Klan. Progress of the Ce itis ascertained at the Census OfMce that the census of Chicagoand Cincinnat! seems to be bet- ter taken than that of any other sections, and in the Western States generally care 1s taken to miss no Person in the enumeration. While Congress was in Session the Western members were rather extrava- gant in the predictions as to census results, For in stance, @ Kansas Senator claimed that his State Would show a@ population of 600,000 souls; but the Probability is that it will be about 400,000 as con- trasted with the census of 1860, when the population Was only about 109,000. 1t 1s supposed that,ywhile there has been an extraordinary increase in the West, the oficial figures will fail considerably below the private calculations, The Superiniendent says all the revarns are received in good shape. One hundred and thirty-five clerks are employed in the Census Bureau, but this number will be increased from time to Ume as the business shalrdemand. Personal. Secretary Robeson has returned to his midsummer duties at the Navy vepartment, from his little trip into the country, The gen:al Secretary, it seems, like Captain Murphy Magutre, in the “Serious Family,” isin the habit of going on an occasional day's shooting tn the country, but not so far away ad Long Branoh. The Secretary was not at the latter place at all recently, though the lively watering- place correspondents described his movements thereabouts with such minuteness. Instead of being at Long Branch he was only at Longwood, a short- distance from here, enjoying the quietude and re+ pose of country life. Mr. Robeson proposes to stick here very heroically during the most of the hot sea- son, only refreshing himself once in a while by a little excursion to his favorite Longwood. Admiral Porter will leave here in a few days, with his family, for Narraganset. He will drop into your city during the height of the yachting sete, if possi- ble. ‘There has been a good deal sald in the newspapers recently about the rapidly declining health of Sena- tor Brownlow, of Tennessee, All the reports to that. effect appear to have been very much exaggerated, Judge J.
