THE YACHT RACE.

The kings of Dnance stopped business to discuss the subject, and those Who had set their hearts on favorite eeoye Wandered off te Staten Island to see and ear lor themselves at an eary hour which was the Victorious craft, A WAGERS ‘of all kinds were made during the morning and in ‘the afternoon, the.sums staked upon the event being enormous, Many thought they could pick out the foremost boat and “put up” their dollars in back- ing their oplmous, Some assured others that they coud name the hours the race would be sailed in, and wien disputed, chowed 8 handful of greenvacks and wanted to bet that they “were right.’? At the large restaurants und saloons the betting was high and in some cases very wild, the most unbounded confidence being expressed by venturesome individuals that this or the other boat would “come home first.” ‘The excitement upon the return of the great crowds FROM THE RACE equalled its reception, Thousands were packed in single ierryboats of the Staten Island Company; but each and ail came back wuth the fee!ing that the yachtiog element of New York had achieved a spicndid victory, and that the occasion was one of the most momentous that ever Look place in Aimeri- can Waters, and will never be surpassed in nugaber of contestants or picturesque beauty.

Under the anthority of the Secretary of War the chief signal officer of the army 1s empowered to ealist a number of suitable persons, to be appointed non-commissioned oilicers in the army, for the duty of observation and reporis of storms by telegraph and signal for the benefit of commerce on the northern lakes and seaboard, The character of the observation to be had at different stations throughout the country and meteor- ological reports to be made renders the duty upon which these nen-commisstoned officers will be em. ployed interesting as a branch of scientific study, and the knowledge acquired will be valuable hereafter. The opportunity thus offered is a rare one for young men of good education desiring to devote themselves to reading or to the study of a profes- sion, the duty being of sucha nature as with care and diligence will permit time to be devoted to study, and the pay and allowances will afford a sufficiently iberal support. The number of appointments pemg necessarily limited each candidate will be subject to an examination. Senator Revels Private Secretary. A few days since a subscription paper was circu- lated in atlezst one Of the departments for money to send to his home in Mississippi the secretary of Senator Revels, that gentleman having left him in this clty In destitute circumstances. The list was headed by that noble philanthropist, Pharies Sumner, with a subscnption of five dollars, Another Politician in Trouble. The clerk of the Repubiican Congressional Com- mittee, who has figured quite prominently in con- nection with the tax of one per cent upon govern- ment employ¢s, 1s ina fair way to get into sertous trouble. Thd gravest charges have been preferred against him for misdeeds during his war career, and have been forwarded to Senator Wilson, It 18 likely that the clerk will lose his position, besides earning the eternal hostility of the government employés, Senhor Maguthasus, the Brazilian Minister, will leave here soon on a visit to his couutry, when M. Fleury will act a8 chargé d’affatres. No business for the present is being transacted at the Executive Mansion. General Dent left this morning for Harrisburg to meet the President and accompany hiww to St. Louis. The Omaha Indians. Friend Janney writes, under date of the 6th inst., enclosing a report of Agent Painter, of the Omaha Agency, which states that the Omahas have gladly availed themselves of the lberty grauted them by General Augur, to go on the summer hunt, being much in want of skins for moccasins aud without money to buy shoes for the winter. They were very hungry for meat, having been elmost without animal food for nearly a year. This abstinence is {rom motives of economy, as they have not and will not encroach on their small an- buity to buy beef, but prefer to let go what they can epare to pay for building tneir honses and improv- ing their lands, All the Indians were in good health at the time they went off on the hunt. Army Ofiicers Holding Civil Posttions. The fol'owing letter from the Acting Commis- sloner of Indian Affairs to Colonel De L. Floyd Jo @), Commissioner of Indian"Afairs at Idaho Ter- ritory, contains @ decision of the Secretary of the Iuter‘or on the subject of oMcers of the army per- forming the functions of a civil officer under the new army law:— OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, WASHINGTON, August & 1870. Sir—Your letter of the 26th ult., asking to be re- leved from Indian duty, should it be decided that army officers ou the activa list are forbidden by the recent act of Congress making. appropriations for the army to hold or perform the functions of any civil office, was received and referred to the Secretary of the Interior, The Secretary by a letter of the 6th inst. says :—* I have to inform you in reply that no construction of the act of Congress to which reference 14 made necessi- tates the immediate removal of officers from the civil service, inasmuch as time must of neces- sity be given to the department to select proper persons to fill their places, can inform Colonel Jones that he has nothing to appre- hend as to his standing in the army from the delay incident to a judicious change of oficers, but that he will be released from his present duties as soon as asuitable successor can be found. Very respect- fully your obedient servant, WILLIAM F, CADY, Acting Commissioner. Appointments Confirmed. The following appointments have been confirmed at the Treasury Department:—Norman Ettinge, to be weicher at the New York Custom House; Israel Watterbourne, to be inspector of customs at Boston; James L. Davis, to be foreman of the weighers de- partment at Boston; Nathan Gaff, Jr., to be deputy collector at Providence, Rhode Island. Supplies for the Far Fisheries. Permission was to-day given by the Acting Secre- tary of the Treasury to the Alaska Commercial Com- pany to take a vessel or vessels with supplies from San Francisco to the seal islands of St. Paul and St. George. It is understood that the steamer Alex- ander, belonging to this company, which is now at San Francisco, will at once proceed on this busi- ness. Signa! Corps Reunion. The second meeting of the Order of the Signa) Corps, or the first quinquennial reunion of the oMcers and men who served in the signal corps during the late war, was held in this city at the rest- dence of General A. J. Myer, president of the order, Saturday last. A supper was the concluding part of the programme. Instructions to Disbursing Agents. The following circular was to-day promulgated:— ‘TREASURY DEPARTMENT, } First CoMPTROLLER’S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, August 8, 1870, By the provisions of the fifth, sixth and seventh Sections of the General Appropriation act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, appropriations made for the current fiscal year can be expended only for the service of the year; that is, for debts and liabilities accrning within the year, and former Appropr A tous can be used only bettie! of debts and abil les accrued and in the fulfilment of con- trac tah ident made prior to the ‘Ist day of July, 187 ‘hese provistons do not apply to _appropria- tions known as permanent or definite, nor to those to». which Congress has given’ a longer duration” of law. — Disvursing officers are hereby instructed to observe these * pro- visions of law strictly, and they are also directed to render separate accounts of disbursements made on account of debts and Iabiliiies accrued and con- tracts made prior to July 1, 1870, and separate accounts of payments made on account of tne ser- vices of the current fiscal.year. They will be care- fol also not to use money appropriated for former cars for the services of the current year. ite R, W. TAYLOR, Comptrolier. “VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.” Wo have had no end of communications in refer- enee to the Nathan murder and to the European War. All sorts of ‘snggestions, including several im regard to resorting to the test of spiritual- ism m order to obtain the anxiously sought: for clue to the perpetrator of the murder, have been made to us One communication, signed “An Observer,” says that the reason of the failure of the detective police is thatthe mem. | bers of it are notat liberty togo to work on thelr own responsibility, the reward bélng too large to allow of any subordinate officer being permitted to carry off the prizé, Most amusing are the letters that have poured in upon us last week from indignant Irishmen, I'rench- men and Germans in relation to tne war news and editorials, the Irish and French attributing to us un- due partiality for the Prussian cause, and the Prus- sian devoting us to perdttion as partisans of France. A patriotic French gentleman gives expression to the anti-Prassian feeling of France in the following let- ter:— New York, August 7, 1870. To Tax Eprror or THE HERALD :— You speak 10 to-day’s HERALD of the apparent in- alserence of the French people for the war. Indif- ferent We are not, you say ; If you would know well our history, you could say without fear of mistake that not only we are not indifferent, but that France has never fought & war more national than this. Why we do not make such work and boasting as Prussians do is because it 1s not in our habits, We know What we are worth, and we do not need an humbug to get frends, Why the American press against us we do not wish nor care to know, We (lo not sell our sympathies, But we Frenchmen of all opinions, we unite tightly on the day of vengeance, for our hearts were always bleeding at the remembrance of 1514 and 1815. We remember that In 1814 the Prussians were going around our villages, breaking open the doors of the peasants, violating our girls, insulting and abusing old men, and the Prussian oMicers in Paris, Insult! and outraging everybody in the streets and public places, tearing With their spurs the dresses of our mothers. I would never finish in narrating to you all the atrocities they have committed; our old peasants of Alsace have not forgotten them. But the giorlous day of revenge has come,,and if our army 13 not suilicient every Frenchman, old and young, will rush to the frontier, and when the last son of France will haye fallen on tne battlefleld our wives, mothers and daughters will take the musket, and when we Will all be dead, then, if there 18 one Prussian le(t, let kim come in with the cross, spectfully yours, BE. LEBEUF. Another exile from France defends the Emperor in his war policy. He says:— New YORK, August 4, 1870, To THE EpiTOR Of THE HERALD:— Iam surprised to sec how loudly the voice of Russia resopuds in the American newspapers and how dim the voice of France, America’s oid ally, How could the American be le be enlightened about the question to be decided by war in Europe if it listens only to one of the adversaries ¢ Germans here and at home declare they hate Frauce. Why so? Frenchmen do not hate Ger- many. France did not oppose the aggrandizement even of Prussia, Which Prussia affects: to call Ger- many, though this increase of power was evidently detrimental to ber. She even applauded to this equivocal effort towards German unity. Only when Prussia, an unscrupuloas neighbor, became after Sadowa twice or three times More powerful than before, it was high time for krance to reclaim her northeastern natural boundaries, wreuched from her by theallied Powers in 1815, by English Jealousy and Prusso-Austrian terrors, Was it for so sacred, 80 natural an end, that Prussia made war on weak Denmark and on Austria? that she absorbed against the will of their inhabitants Hanover, Saxony, Hesse, Hamburg, Frankfort-on-the-Main, and previously Holstein and an undetermined slice of Schleswig? No it was agamst all right, all jus- tice; by the same system of rapine which prompted Frederick, without the shadow or right, to rush aguinst Austrian Silesia. Have not Germans, so renowned for thelr proecbiiies) speculations, any idea of right beyond their awn interest? and when they thander after the so-called ambition of France, is it not exactly like a thief cry- ing thier against those who are decided to stop bis depredations? it Why, you Prussians have acquired kingdoms py mere brutal force, under the plea of forming a new German empire, and you do not admit the right of France to claim boundaries necessary to her very existence, And Germans consider Prussians m the right, and declare against French avidity, aud Instead of trying to Germanize Prussia they long absorbed in and absolute monarchy, led by a man without principles. And Americans, free born Americans, are asked to consider Prussia—tne only ugly relic in Europe of | the feudal system—as the representative of liberty! It seems Germans rely @ great deal on American naiveté. But all those sophistic arguments of the Germans for Prussia, all this pretended contempt add hatred of France, will be of little avai. France does not dream of conquests beyond what 1g essen- tial to her security; but that boundary of thé’Rhine she must and, with the help of Providence and the generous efforts of our dear compatriotes, we hope she will have it. Yours traly, A FRENCHMAN, A Teuton of a philosophical turn of mind discusses the question in this way:— Ishould think 1t woald not be of much conse- quence to humanity if the Prussians do win or the French. This war should be regarded asa feud of ambition between Napoleon Emperor and William Rex over the primacy on tne European Continent, a mere contest of supérlority | of Zunderadeigewebr versus Chassepots and Mitrailieuses; but as far as civilization is concerned, It seems to me a rather difficult task to prove the superiority of one people over the other one. In literature, science, ‘beaux arts,” &@, the French and Germans are eric equal, though knowiedge in France In these branches being of older date, 18, of course, better de- veloped, while Germany 1s rather a coming Power in this regard. Asa general thing the country peo- ple and the workingmen in Germany have the ad- vantage of @ better primary education than the saine class in France has. ‘This is owing to the fact that the French Catholic clergy is following there, as everywhere else, its secular traditions to keep the peasant in utter ignorance of all outside of religious mysteries; to keep him away from all that might en- lighten him about their ecclesiastical plunder, The French peasant being naturally very smart, it does not affect him as much as it does the irish, the Spanish or even the Italian countryman, but it'ls a strong *‘baton dans les roues” of progress, A financial genius makes the following awful cal- culations regarding the payment of the public debti= New York, August 2, 1870. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— 3 ‘rms day’s HERALD contains the announcement of a reduction in the public debt of $17,000,900. I have no doubt that the bondholders will rejoice at the statement, as it scemingiy increases the security of their investment and, for the time, enhances their value, and I have no doubt that every very ignorant man rejoices to think we are such a rich and pros- perous nation ag to be able to pay such a large amount in so short a time and bear such enormous taxation, But what the middle inen think allow me to state. durst—The premium on gold wil) never be reduced to until the country undergoes another financial revulsion. Second—The large interest on the public debt and the excessive legal power delegated to the national vanks will eventually aud ere long bring about the revulsion, ‘The government bonds will fall as all State bonds, railroad bonds and other stock fell in value in 1857, with this exception, viz.—many of the latter revived, but the government bonds wiil be no more valuable than the late Confederate bonds. Now for the rea- son:—1. The iusignificant sum of $100,000 at 7 per cent interest will in 385 years accumulate to $6,971,947,673,600,000—a much larger sum than the valuation ot the property of the whole world. If + $100,000 will do this in 865 yeurs, how long will it take our debt of over $2,000,000,000 to consume the entire products of this country and bring about re- pudiation by natural causes? A growler at Long Branch satirizes the hotel management at that watering piace.

A communication from Northfeld, Minn., with half adozen signatures attached, complains of the act of an agent of the Children’s Aid Society in abandoning seven boys at that place without pro- curing work or homes for them. — Mr. R. B. Roane, of Virginia, expresses his dissent from some of the views of ‘Old Man Blair,” as ex- pressed in an interview with @ HERALD corvespon- dent, and says, speaking of the former States rights men of the South:—“We do not unite with Mr. Blair tu trying to elect a so-called democrat in 1872." The suggestion by the HERaxp of a depot for the east side city cars Is approved by a correspondent, who recommends the purchase by tne Fourth and Second avenue lines of the Tryon row property for the erection of such depot, and the purchase by the Third avenue line of the property of Mr. Hart, opposite Tryon row, and running through froin Chatham. to South William street. A spiritualistic philosoptier, belonging to the So- clety of the Brotherhood of the Future (Des Freres de Vavenir), furnishes what purports to be a com- munication from the spirit of the late French Minis ter to Washington, assigning the reasons which in- duced him to take his own lie, According to this rhapsody, there was a Woman.in the case.

To ray Eprror or THE HrRAaxp : The working pros I fhe East seem to have nearly become crazy in regard to the introduction of seventy Chinese into North Adams, Mags., laborers. One of the principal objections which is urged against them is that they can live on so small a sum, and go can afford to work for leas wages than our native mechanics. We are told that in California they can subsist on twenty cents per day, and will work for a mere pittance ; 80 our workingmen aro dreading a competition with such aclass. We have had in connection with the House of Industry for more than a year past a Chinese evening school, and so have had some opportunity of studying the Chinege character as is developed by contact with our institutions. We have — had, too, considerable experience in ding them employment, and we can confidently state that as soon as the Chinese get to some extent Americanized they wiil expect to receive the same Ray for the same kind of work that any of our laborers demand. The success which house- keepers on the Pacific slope have had with Chinese cooks has suggested their trial in this city, but the Celestials here have learned that their services are worth as much as those of any other class, and so will not work for less than twenty or twen- ty-five dollars a month. They may live on rice and salt in San Francisco, but they do not do it here. The treatment they have received in Cali- fornia, so bratal and unkind, has, to a great ex- tent, caused them-to keep together so closely as to be almost a nation by themselves, and it is no wonder that they are anxious to get ack to their own country, where they can at least be protected in person and property. With so strong ® desire to return to China it is not strange that they are induced to work for any sum, no matter how small, if thereby they can save the means to carry them back to the Flowery Kingdom. In this city, where they are on a foot- ing with our foreign population, they very agon acquire American habits, and must have the means to live as they see others do here. There is a Chinese boarding house on Cherry street, where the charge for board is four dollars per week, and the bill of fare is decidedly American- ized. We do not anticipa‘e any guch- disturbance as was predicted the other nigut at Tompkins’ pe nae The Chinaman usually is a anit peace- able fellow, and will, we thoroughly believe. make a good citizen. We are doing what we can to fit them for their duties as good citizens by teaching them our language and oftering them a Christian welcome, and we feel sure that if they are met by all in the same spirit we shall not, as a nation, lose by it.

POLITICAL NOTES, The Boston 7raveller thinks that Thomas Lynch, republican candidate for Congress trom the Maine First district, will find @ formidable opponent in Mr. William P. Haines, democratic candidate. Very likely, Rev. J. Sella Martin (colored) has been appointed @ special agent of the Post Office Department, and will be assignea to duty as inspector at Mobile.
