He came to try bis vessel With American crafts, and his weloome here by ‘eur yachtmen was doservedly hearty aud GQandsome. Courage and perseverance must ver win esteom, Let us hope the seception ficcorded to the owner of the Cambria will not Tail to make an impression ow his fellow yacht- yaen across the water. The same kindness and @onsideration will be extended to all, and we caw enly hope that during next season at least hnalf a dozen English yachts instead of one will participate in our annual contests, This would add considerably to the interest and excite- ment of tho cruise and the various races that take place during the months of August, Sep- tember and October while the result would @oubtless, afford mutual instruction, It Still Goes Begging. ‘The mission to the Court of St: James’ ppears to be stfll in the market, waiting for some one to accept it. Mr. Frelinghuysen, efter mature deliberation, has declined it on fhe ground of important duties which demand hhls presence at home. It is said now that Senator Morton, of Indiana, has refused the honor of representing the United States at the Gourt of Queen Victoria in consequence of ‘the precarious state of his health. If the office is thus going a begging among people ‘who are not willing to take it why does not the President offer the place to one or the other jof the two men who are quite willing to accept ‘it, and who, we may add, are well qualified for the position? Wemean, of course, Horace Greeley and General Hiram Walbridge. Neither of these gentlemen would he likely to decline the ‘appointment if offered to him, No one can ‘doubt the capacity of either to fill the place at this juncture of affairs in Europe with great lat. The man of war or the man ef peace might be equally acceptable in the mixed up Condition of things, for we know not from day jto day whether the “‘situation” is war or peace. If the administration does not adopt the wisest ‘gourse of abolishing the English mission alto- gether and leaving our interests in England to be attended to by the American consuls at the various ports, the next best thing the Presi- dent can do is to appoint one or the other of the only two men who appear willing to accept the place, instead of casting around about the country for representatives who are unwilling to take the responsibility of atepping into the shoes of Mr. Motley. Greeley would have his trunks packed and labelled for the British Embassy in London an hour after the appointment was in his pocket; and as for Walbridge, no doubt his baggage is all ready for the summons to depart, Gen- eral Walbridge is quite competent for the Place. His long experience and good sense ‘are eminent qualifications; but, then, Greeley ‘Is entitled to some recognition by the admin- istration after the shabby treatment he received at the hands of the New York republican party. Durfes of Citizens to Our Courts. The increase of crime which has been so much spoken of by the press and by the public of late, and which threatens the \good name of our city has not been unheeded by our judges. Judge Bedford in his last two charges to the Grand Jury of the county thas alluded to it and has promised to do his West to check it, and we all know that “his est” means o great deal. Judge Barnard dn his last charge to the Oyer and Terminer Grand Jury threatened swift punishment to jhe lawless ruffians who are making such use sof the knife and the pistol in our midst. Our (ity Judge, always fearless in the discharge of ‘his duty, has earned the gratitude of all good citizens by the just sentences he has meted out to such criminals as have appeared before him. The District Attorney’s office,” overrun with work, is making strenuous efforts to clear the calendar from the accumulations of the summer months. (this zeal, all this earnest effort to protect life jand property, lies the great stumbling-block of Andifference on the part of the public. This wery public, the very people who groan over ‘the increase of crime, are the greatest obsta- ‘oles in the way of its speedy punishment. They shirk the duty of serving on juries by every means in their power. They avoid the service of subpeaas, mand have to be dragged into court ‘to give their evidence, Case after case goes ‘over from day to day, and the calendar of the yCourt of Sessions remains full, And why? ‘Becanse witnesses will not come torward. ie court room is filled with pelicemen, who {ean ill be spared from our small force, because ‘they must come when nolified; the officer is there, the judge and jury are all ready, andthe ‘complainant is wanting. So the case must go off, and the officer robbed, perhaps, of his day of rest, goes away grumbling to be dragged @ofn again and again, because the citizen whom he is trying to protecé will not lose a few hours to help punish the offender. As Mr. Fellows, the able prosecuting officer, remarked in court, we are helpless without the co-operation of the community. Let our citizens do their duty in appearing as wit- nesses and we can rest assured that our zealous and determined City Judge will do his in ehecking the great stream of lawlessness ‘which threatens to overrun us, The duty of earnest, active co-operation on the part of the People is most imperative, and we call on all good citizens to do their best in maintaining @aw and order by supporting our criminal courtsin their able, honest efforts to do their uty, ~. Vincent Cort yer writes to Secretary Cox ‘that the Osage Indians have gladly, and in fact enthusiastically, accepted the new act of Congress selling their lands in Kansas and removing them to the Indian Territory. They made known their acceptance in council on Brule creek, wheré they toucbingly exhibited ell the Presidential medals they had received aince the days of Jefferson, and where, Mr. ‘Collyer adds, no presents or other temptations ‘were offered them. We are a little suspicious ‘of these demonstrations. When Indians gush lor become sentimental there is generally jwome rascally scheme of treachery and mur- der at the bottom of it, It may even be that they have already fully concocted a diabolical ‘plot to scalp all the Peace Commissioners ‘who so confidingly trust in these empty de- ‘wmonstrations. If Mr. Collyer has & good com- Ypony of soldiers at his back he may believe in ‘shaw, hut not otherwise, \ Bat in the face of all | THBORAPIIO NEWS |.

A. special correspondent writing to the HERALD from the headquarters of the Italian army at Terni on the 10th Inst. says:— Sefor Matino passed through this place retarning from Rome, taking only an autograph letter from the King to the Pontiff, in which the King simply stated that, considering the tmportant events that had occurred he had thought it hie duty to occupy the Papal territory, promising to the Pontiy the free exercise of his spiritual office. According to Cadorna’s information Seiior Matino had been re- ceived by the Pope, who said, “When the King’s troops enter | will declare myself a prisoner.” Car- dorna believes that the Pope ordered the troops not to resist the Italian government, and that be ar- dently desires to avoid bloodshed. Colonel Chanette, commander of the Papal forces, notwithstanding the Pope’s order, threatens to op- pose the Itallana, Jiis force is concentrated near Monte Facone, wheve defensive works are thrown up. ‘THE PORK’ ARMY. The Papal army wmounts to seventeen thousand well armed and equipped soldiers, having Reming- ton muskets and several mitrallieuses, The Zouaves threaten to massacre the people if a gen- eral rising occura, ITALY CANNOT RECEDE. Cadorno toid me that if any act of brutality is committed they will kil the foreign troops to the last man, but the natives will be treated as brothers. Three atvisions of the Italian army are encamped near Terni. I asked Cardono if there wasfany chance of their Low abandoning the enterprise. He stared, ahd exclaimed, “Don’t you see the spirit of the army and the people. To draw back now would be to ruin the government.” ANTONELLY’S POLICY OF MISERABLE MANUSCRIPT— THE ITALIAN AGITATION INCREASING. A special correspondent writes to the HeRatp from Florence, 11th Instant. The answer sent by San Martino from the Pope proves to be utterly Dlegible. The Cabinet vainly endeavored to de- cipher tne despatch, It is believed to be a trick of Antonelli to gain time. Some fear 1s expressed that the Pope will embark on the English iron-clad now at Vecchia for Ant- werp; but it 1s more generally believed that he will retire to Villa Castel Gondotfo, Popular impatience is dasly increasing.

An official, who ts well acquainted wits tho there were in were allowed his statement might be verted, for every day palpable blunders are discovered. The latest, and one which caused a great deal of excite- ment among the offctals at we Treasury Depart ment, came to ilght to-day, At the end of the act revising, consolidating and amending the statutes re- lating ta patents and copyrights, passed July 8, 1870, was appended a repealing clause and schedule which enacts: “That the acts and parts ofacis aet forth in the schedule of acta cited hereto aunexed,” are hereby repealed, without reviving any acts or parts of acts repealed by any of sald acts or by any clause pr provision there in, Then follow the provisos, which ciearly’ re- late to the sights of patentees and claimants under the act Itself, and then the following:—“3chedule of statutes cited and repealed as printed In the statutes at large, tucluding such portions only of the appro- priation bills referred co us ard appitcable to the Patant Office.” The schedule reters to acts passed from July 4, 1816, to March 2, 1869, ane under the sweeping provisions of the repealing clause ig the act of July 23, 1868, authorizmg the President to temporarily supply the vacancles in the executive departments itn case of the death, | resignation, absence or sickness of any of the Cabl- net officers or chiefs of any of the tureaus. It does not provide that so much of that actas ts inconsistent with the act then passed shall be re- pealed, nor can there be found anything qualifying {ta meaning. Congress ondoubtedly Intended that such portion of the act of Jnly, 1868, should be re- pealed as referred to the filing of the ot of Com: missioner of Patents, the new law providing exe presaly how it should be doue, When the question Was brought tothe attention of the Comptroller of the Treasary he did not dispute the fact that that law ‘was absolutely repealed, and by the provisions of the repealing clanse that all recourse to former ac ts was cutoff. The Acting Secretary of the Treasury, how- ever, argued that some allowance must be made for the intention of Congress in passing acts, and there- fore the clause In the act must be regardea only which refers to the Commissioner of Patent’s office; whereupon, tt was asked, why was not the same Uderal construction given to the Appropriation bill in those sections concerning unexpended balances? for Congress never designed work on lighthouses and pablic buildings for which tt had made specific appropriations whould be stopped construction of which was required in Many: instances for the good of tne publia service, Mr. Richardson good uataredly replied that he did not make the opinion, and granting that the law referred to was repealed, the Prestdent was clothed with discretionary authority to appoint temporary officers if the public service demanded it. On the other haad your correspondent 1s assured by B prominent republican Senator that, severe a tha enforcement of the unexpended balanee clause of the Appropriation bli) may have been, Congreas will sustain the Comptroller in the stand he has taken, There «does not seem to be any way of evading the effect of the repealing clause in the Patent law, There it has stood ever since Con- gress adjournea, and if the strict interpretation of the law ts to be apheid in regard to the protec- Uon of the finances why should i¢ not be done im keeping the government officials at their post of duty? After allit may not have been bungling legislation, but a covert act on the part of some economical person who framed the bill, to check the migratory spirit of our high salaried officials. An Old Claim Uneartned. Here fs a bit of history, which at this time seems to remind the country of the debt of gratitede which the United States owes to France. Nicholas Fouquet and his son, Mark Antoine, came to this country during the Revolutionary War and were appointed ofvicers in the army, with the brevet rank of captain and ileutenant. Having a thorough knowledge of tha att of making gunpowder they were designated as instructors of others, and thereby rendered imvainable service to our army and the cause of republican independence, ‘The Continental Congress, in recognition of thetr ser- vices, appropriated 8,000 livres—equal to about $148--as a testimonial of vheir appreciation of the benefits conferred. kortiy utter the war Nicholas died aud Mark married a Massachu- setts girl. ‘Lhe descendants of that family recently found, in rummagmg among some old papers, the claim of Fouquet, and within @ few days Benjamin F. Butler has filed at the Treasury Department a claim for the amount appropriated, with interest. ‘rhe records were to-day examined, and, sure enough, the appropriation was made as claimed; but it does not appear whether 1t was ever paid, Ag it is in the forra of & voucher the supposition is the claim is good. The heirs have been cited to give additional evidence in support thereof, As to the Interest, that cannot be allowed, it being clearly against the interest of the government to establish such @ precedent by making this an exception. Hordes of Office Seekers nt the Capital. ‘The Third Auditor's OMice yester¢ay lost two clerks by death, an onasual occurren but vacancies, strange to Say, never exist, So great is the numper of applicants for positions tn the departments that the present clerical force could die oif in sx weeks aud yet everv position be filled without going out- | side of the petitions already on file, It might seem harsh to people away from Washington to know that there uctnally exists what ta known the “retiring list,"'0n which is placed the names of such clerks as are likely to “peg out” within a reasonabie ume, and persistent applicants are assured that when thas takes place there will be room for them, but not until then, | Payment of Southern Claims. A large number of ims for pay have been filed in the Fijth Auditor's office by parties who acted as assistant assessors in the South during the years 1665 and 1866, but who were unable to take the pre- scribed oath, For such Congress made provision at its last sexsion, and as fast as the accounts can bo examined they are ordered to be paid. Not 80, howe ever, with the assistant marshals of the census of 1860, Of tms class there are quite a number who were cut oif {rom receiving their pay by the break- ing out of the rebellion, and only those who can | take the onth required by the Secretary of the In- terior are enabled to drew the amount due.

My, Ashbury’s cup will be sailed according to the rules of the New York Yacht Club, but there will be no conditions as to time. The races will come off within # few days, but the exact date foreach has not yet been Mnally settled. As Mr. Ashbury leaves the city Within # fortuight he proposes the followin, jon- day, 19th, Cambria and Idler; Tuesday, 20th, Mr. Ashbury’s cups; Weduesday, Zist, Cambria and Magic; Thuriday, 22d,’ Cambria and America. The cup given by Rear Commoaore Doug- las will probably be contended for last and will bring the series to # close. Several of the yachts are now lying at diferent ports, including Newport, New London and other places, and Jonger notice may be required to bring them together, but it 14 not improbable that at 1east some of Mr. Ashbury’s proposed dates will be agreed to. The time tor each race, however, will bo determined to-day and duly announced. It is unnecessary to add that the several contests are awaited with deep interest and no Jittle anxiety. ‘Yhe public wilt be afforded the iinest possible oppor- tunity of witnessing perhaps the very best contests that have come off since the advent of the Cambria. ‘The course seems to give general satisfaction, and there 1s every reason to believe that the yachts will be in every respect well favored for @ capital exlubl- tion of their capacities, The match race between the Cambria and the Halcyon wii! not come of, and has aceordingly been declared drawn. The latier broke her gad during the contest for the Newport cup on Saturday. The Sappho, Idler, Vesta, Calypso and Dauntless ‘were at Newport yesterday, aud will probably leave before Saturday to participate tn the coming: races. ‘The Sappho got her new ma Ha bar on Saturday eveung and the Dauntless her forelopmast on ‘Tuesday.
