Senator Trumpunt at Inpranaports.—Ac- cording to our special report, published elso- where, the veteran Senator had an immense audience at the Academy of Music in Indian- apolis last night. Although it cannot be said his speech contains anything beyond what has already been touched upon during the cam- paign, there is one strong element in it— he is entirely opposed to the present adminis- tration. Ho looks upon the election of Horace Grecley as a kind of universal panacea. A large torchlight procession, composed of republicans, interrupted him somewhat during the delivery of his remarks, but he merely ob- served that he thought it was another addition coming over to join their ranks. Tar Orry Devr.--Prompt paynient of inter- est and absolute certainty that the principal will be duly met at maturity are the essentials which establish the value of public securities, Now York city, though heavily mortgaged by the rascalities of the Tammany Ring, is abun- dently solvent. To-day Comptroller Green is Prepared to pay the half-yearly interest on the outstanding bonds, and the creditors of the city willsee in this fact assurance that our finances are now in the hands of honest and capable officials. Last fall’s retorm triumph is beginning to produce its proper result in rescuing the city treasury from dis- order and threatened bankruptey. Our citi- gens owe it to themselves to make such wise selections of city officers in the approaching election as will carry out the action they so properly began o year ago. Ovn New Crry Post Orrice.—Considerablo energy is being displayed in pushing on tho work at the new Post Office, and there is rea- son to believe that it will be roofed in by the end of the year. In view of the amount of time usually occupied in crecting public build- ings the prospect in this caso is very satisfac. hory. Letus hope that it marks the beginning of @ mewera in the management of public @orks. It would be a double boon to the citi- @ens if the quickening influence could be ex- fended across the Park in the direction of the pew Oourt House, which, we suppose, will be | Gnished sometime within the present decade, There are not wanting prophets of cvil who sesort that the last touch will not te given to this huge job at any time within this century, ‘Thia wo look on, however, as a slight exagger- ation. The most curious part of the history of tho new Post Ofice, if true, is that the ox- ‘Ronsos will not excond the original, patiquajes | have kept the negro mind for weeks in a fever | of excitement, and at the last moment the Sec- oundopment of It by Its Latest | NEW YORK HM#KALD, THORSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENi Election—Tho Incenalary Appeals of the Politicians. f ‘The election for State officers takes place in North Carolina to-day, and serious apprehen- sion of 8 disturbance of the peace is ex- pressed on every side. We regret to say that the fear does not appear to be wholly ground- less. For several days past it has been asserted that largo numbers of negroes were being imported into the State from Virginia, Ten- nessee, South Carolina and Georgia, for tho purpose of insuring the success of the repub- lican ticket, which soomod to be endangered by the active canvass made on tho conserva- tivo side. It has also been charged that negro boys not over sixteen years of age have been registered ns voters in many of the dis- tricts, and these reports seem to have roceived some coloring from the discovery of a private letter addressed by a republican rogister or committeeman to one of the Congressional candidates on that side, informing him that eight hundred negroes had been registered in his district. The conservatives reprosent these eight hundred to be mostly fraudulont registrations, Theso suspicions have led toa determination on tho conservative sido to challenge all votes not known to be genuine. Under the Election law notifications of chal- longes are required to be given in advance, and the republicans, discovering from these notices the intention of the conservatives, have acoused the latter of an organized design to prevent the polling of the full negro vote by causing vexatious delay. They, therefore, incite opposition to the challengors, and while on one side there appears to be a resolute dotermination to claim the privileges of the law in preventing the polling of fraudulont votes, there is on the other side an evident in- tention to resist the right of challenge and to endeavor to poll all the votes that are rogis- tered. It would not be surprising if violence should bo the result. While wo do not pretend to decide upon the merits of the case, or to offer an opinion as to whether the republicans or conservatives are disposed to attempt the most shameless frauds at the polls, we charge that, should any riot or bloodshed unfortunately occur in North Carolina to-day, it will rest at the door of the republican politicians who are so seriously damaging President Grant by their unwise and reckless conduct. Ever since Secretary Boutwell made his incendiary appeal to tho blacks to refuse to clasp hands across the bloody chasm made by the war, and aroused their worst passions by persuading them that their white fellow citizens only waited the op- portunity to strip them of their civil rights, if not to consign them again to slavery, the re- publican canvass has been conducted with a view to keeping alivo thé fears and hatreds thus called into existence. The inflammatory speeches of stump orators, black and white, retary of the Republican Committee addresses the black voters in the following dangerous circular: — f Democrats and so-calted liberals are desperate; they are conscious that defeat stares them in the face. Consequenily fifteen or twenty thieves, pent- tentiary convicts, detectives, ballot-box stutters, men of the blackest and most damnable character, have been sent to this State for the purpose of in- timidating voters, stuffing ballot boxes, destroying the registration lists, stealing and destroying regis- tratlon books; lastiy, to captiously and without warrant of law challenge a sufMcient number of registered voters to delay voting on election day, and thus prevent republicans from voting. Reliable information enables me to say that a systematic attempt is on foot to captiousiy and ille- gally challenge republican voters in such numbers as will prevent hundreds from voting. This is a dying attempt of the democrats to carry North Carolina, These men are convinced that a free and fair election will result in a glorious republican triumph; hence fraud, intimidation, dishonest and dishonorable means are to be used to prevent re- publicans from young, and in this way thwart the ‘wii of the people and introduce the infamous prac- tices of the Tammany democracy of New York city | into elections in this State. Evidence of villany | 1s mountain high. It must be detected and de- feated. Icall upon every man, especially republi- cans, who reads this paper, before the election 1s over to see to it that every legal registered voter exercises his right of suffrage. Call boo the poll- holders and judges of election to disregard cap- tious challengers. Watch the polls; take down the names of witnesses to every effort at intimidation and captious challenging, to be used hereafter. We have no hesitation in pronouncing this the most reprehensible appeal ever made by a political organization to the passions of the electors on the eve of an election. It would be dangerous if addressed to white men; it is doubly dangerous when poured into the cars of credulous negroes. The right of challengo is given by the Election law. It has been held to be the best protection of the republicans against democratic frauds. The republicans framed and passed the law, and hence it is their own provision. The idea of captious challenges is absurd, when the republicans have in their hands all the machinery of the election and can dispose of any untenable challenges in a legal manner with despatch. The meaning of the Secretary of the Republican Committeo—and the negroes, with all their ignorance, under- stand him clearly—is to incite forcible oppo- sition to any challenging that may be at- tempted. Should his appeal be heeded, and should conservatives be deterred from chal- lenging by negro violence or by the threat held out in the Secretary's circular of future prosecutions under the arbitrary bayonet law, any fraudulent votes that may be registered, to any number, may be polled without hindrance. Should the challengers insist on their clear rights under the republican Elec- tion law, and refuse to yield to open violence or covert threats, a collision may at any moment between the opposing parties. Then would come tho rule of the federal musket and the United States Marshal, and the freedom of election would be | destroyed. It is possible that the republican politicians may design such a result. Tho apparently official statement in the republican organ in this city yesterday that ‘no one expects election day to pass without blood- shed,” and that it is ‘estimated that, taking | the whole State, there will be at least ono hundred serious affrays,”’ seems to warrant \ such a conclusion. At all events, it is suffi- | cient to fix the responsibility on the proper | parties should the prediction prove true, | Ibis to be hoped that the conservatives and the better portion of the republicans will use their best efforts to avert the calamity of an election riot, Jt is just to say that the ad- dresses of Senator Schurz and others on the conservative side have been in marked con- | trast to the incendiary harangue of Secretary Boutwell, and have done much to allay excite- ment and lessen the bitterness of tho cam- paign, The words of Senator Sumner, too, come in good season to restore reason to the | heated brains of the North Carolina politicians, “Tom against the policy of hate,’ says tho Massachusetts Senator; “I am against fan- ning ancient flames into continued lifo; I am against raking in tho ashes of the past for coals of fire yet burning. Pilo up the ashes, extinguish the flames, abolish the hate—such is my desire.” If the republican prodictions of riot and blood- shed in to-day's election should not be ful- filled it will be due to such teachings as these, and will give hope that the Southern States may yot pass safely through the ordeal of the present contest. The trial is a severe one for the administration, for the indiscreet action of its supporters has fastened upon it the respon- sibility of any outbreak that may occur, while all the antecedents of President Grant provo that the words of Senator Sumner most find an echo in his heart. Should the day pass peacefully, no matter which side may triumph, the President should discountenanco in the future such clectioncering as has beon resorted to in his behalf in North Carolina. He under- stands well the danger of exciting the passions of ignorant negross and arraying them against the white citizens with whom their daily lives aro to be passed. He has shown in tho past his - desire to pilo up tho ashes so as to oxtinguish the flames kindled by the war, and he should not permit the characterless political adventurers by whom he is surrounded to falsify his cred- itable record. A victory in North Carolina to- day will be stripped of all its laurels,and prove valueless, because the world will believe that it has been won through the prejudices of a bigoted race, and not through the fres verdict of an intelligent people. There is no reason why he should owe his triumphs to any un- worthy cause. Te is entitled to the respect of tho men of tho South, against whom he fought, as a brave and generous enemy, and to the gratitude of the negroes, who owe their freedom to the triumph of the army ho led to vic- tory. He can afford to be just to the one and to bo independent of the other. When his superserviceable political adherents force him into a different course they fail to secure the South and risk the loss of the North. The fear and trembling with which they now await the result of a contest which ought never to have been doubtful, and the growing indignation of the Northern people at the actionof the politicians toward the South, should prove to the President the dangerous position into which his advisers are leading him. Success in North Carolina to-day would be to hima barron victory. Defeat would be disastrous. The riot and bloodshed incited and predicted by the republican political adventurers would be laid at his door. The General who led tho Union armies through the Wilderness is too good a soldier not to understand the false posi- tion into which he has been drawn by tho blunders of his subordinates, and if he escape the dangers of tho North Carolina skirmish he should immediately reduce the incompetent officers to the ranks, reform his line of battle, put himself at tho head of his columns and prepare for the decisive engagement of No- vember. The Late Destructive Fires. This vicinity has lately been the scene of an unusual series of destructive fires, Last week we had. the extensive one of the Erie Railway shops, consuming nearly a million dollars’ worth of property, killing a brave fireman and throwing many persons out of work. Then came the burning of the Girls’ Protéctory, in Westchester county. ‘Tuesday brought the great petroleum fire at Hunter’s Point, de- stroying thirty thousand barrels of oil and strip- ping acres of territory of the buildings, burn- ing a number of vessels, involving the loss of a million dollars and really threatening such a sweeping conflagration as last year devastated Chicago. The same night the fire in Eisner's slaughter houses, in Forty-seventh street, con- sumed seventy beeves and two hundred sheep, whose moans mocked the futile attempts to save their lives. A young child also perished in the flames. The occurrence of these large fires carries its warning. Greater care is de- manded in the construction of our buildings to make them less liable to burn, and far greater cantion is required by all using combustible materials. Especially the storage and handling of coal oil should be subjected to strict municipal scru- tiny, and only allowed under most stringent regulations, and in such localities as to obvi- ate the danger which ever lurks in this com- bustible. Only the fact that there was but slight wind, and that in a favorable direction, prevented such a catastrophe as has never yet befallen New York. A strong easterly wind would have wafted the ships on fire, and which no human power could extinguish, upon our East River shore, setting our ship- ping and that side of the city in flames. Had the wind been strong from the northwest all Brooklyn might have been set ablaze, with the shipping at her docks, In view of the extreme risk from petroleum works aud depots it has been suggested that they should only be tolerated in isolated places, surrounded by water, and so con- structed that when fire breaks out they could readily be flooded or scuttled, so as to prevent the spread of the flames. This is a gubject which nearly concerns the safety of every one's life and property, and it should receive prompt attention by the public authorities. Coal oil in large quantities is hardly less dangerous than gunpowder, and no less care should be exercised by all who have it in charge. Tas Finst Sreamsure rrom THE N&THER- tanps.—The arrival of the Ariadne, from Rotterdam, promises to be an event of some importance, as the advance guard of a new line of communication with Europe. The Ariadne is the first Dutch steamship that has ever entered the port of New York, and has awakened the his- toric conscience of the natives of the Nether- lands residing in the city. The event recalls in @ dim way the arrival of tho little Half Moon, commanded by Hudson, whose name is borne by the noble river of which we aro all so proud. In remembrance of the old Knickerbocker times, when a man had time to enjoy his beer and his pipe on the delightful Island of Manhattan, the modern mynheers will celebrate the arrival of the Ariadne with a torchlight procession and pleasant speeches to-night. It is pleasing to have to record the growing intercourse of our city with all parts of the world; but we hope the next steamship line established will be an American one. It is not creditable to our Yankee enterprise that the whole carrying trade of our port is in the hands of foreigners. Admiral Alden’s Reception of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Southampton. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Princess Aloxandra, his wife, visited the vessels of the United States floet at Southampton, under command of Admiral Aldon, yesterday. The reception of the illustrious party, with their friends and attendants, by the American officer and his subordinates and sailors, is described at great length by special cable report in the columns of tho Hznarp this morning. The scene was oeeiney brilliant, and the more immodiate ceremonial of salutation and complimentary greeting inspiriting in the utmost degree to the people of both countries. i Admiral Alden’ s floot consists of several ships- of-war, carrying unitedly a very heavy amount of metal. The frigate Wabash is the flagship. The whole of the vessels are kept in that fine style of discipline for which the ships of the American navy have been remarkable since immediately after tho first organization of that arm of our national service, Admiral Alden was compelled, however, to shift his flag, some short time since, from the Wabash to the Brooklyn, owing to the appearance of a case of smallpox on the former, and on tho quarter deck of the Brooklyn he received his visitors, The Prince and Princess of Wales embarked on a royal steam yacht in the afternoon. The yacht was soon espied from the Brooklyn and her advent signalled to the others of the American fleot. The English- man neared gracefully, and within a very brief space of time tho Prince, in company with his consort, stood on the deck of the Brooklyn, There was blending of the flags, the ensign of the Stars and Stripes en- folding the drapery of the Cross of St. George. A very distinguished American party awaited tho arrival of the English visitors, Then followed personal intro- ductions, the Prince of Wales responding in each instance of presentation with that hearty good nature for which he is remarkable. There were inspections of the decks of the Brooklyn ; on inspection of the fleet by the Prince—who remarked on going near to the Wabash, “I am not afraid of smallpox’’— a repast on board our flagship and the fare- well. The American sailors manned the yards when the Prince and Princess boarded the Brooklyn, and this honor was. re- peated when they took their departure. At this last moment the guns of the whole American fleet thundered forth a simultaneous salute. The waters of the Solent were lighted far and wide, and the glory of the setting sun was made still more glorious by the brilliancy of the occasion—the friendly union of the two great flags which pioneer liberty and defend civilization. The New French Loan. The new French loan has been a success almost beyond anything on record. In his speech to the French Assembly on Tuesday M. Goulard, when announcing the success of the loan, said:—‘The government is over- whelmed with surprise at the astounding re- sult—-a result which shows that the defeats France has suffered aro to be regarded as an expiation, not as asign of decadence.’’ No one can blame M. Goulard for the enthusiasm which he has revealed. done well before ; but France never did better than now. All ranks and classes of the people have come to the rescue in this case. They have given their money on this occasion just as liberally as on former occasions they gave their best blood. A nation which can act so nobly is not doomed toan early death. It is im- possible, however, to close our eyes to the fact that this fresh loan increases mightily the bur- den which has long been pressing upon the energies of France. A protracted peace will give her strength enough to throw it off A successful war might give her immediate freedom ; but an unsuccessful war would most certainly prove her ruin. It is reasonable, we think, to conclude that France is bound over, for many years to come, to keep the peace. It is well for us to bear in mind that this loan will speedily make its influence felt in our own money market. The money to be paid to Germany must be paid in gold. If, as is ex- pected, France does make an effort to have the éntire indemnity paid to Germany within the noxt twelve months, the drain upon gold in all the foreign markets will be enormous. In connection with this matter, it ought not to be forgotten that the necessities of the new coinage in Germany will lock up a large amount of gold and render it useless for some time to come for commercial purposes. These things taken into account, a dearth of gold must not be pronounced impossible, Nay, rather, it ought to be regarded as certain. Forewarned, forearmed! Let it be so with us. Ram on Sune this will bea lively day in North Carolina; but, as a good rainy day almost inevitably secures a peaceable election, we are inclined to think that a regular old- fashioned rainy day would be this day a good thing for North Carolina. Tae Jaranzse Emuassy.—Iwakura, the Jap- anese Junior Prime Minister, Ambassador Extraordinary, with his associates, some of the most intelligent and liberal statesmen of the empire, are taking notes of the greatness ofthe American metropolis. Their tour, which will embrace the chief States of Wurnpe, is one of the fruits of the disposition to connect their ancient civilization with the modern progress of their Western neighbors and to constitute themselves one of the living national Powers of the time. Philadelphia has entertained the Embassy in form. Mayor Hall has wisely for- borne to initiate any such municipal banquet in their honor ns that which some years ago disgusted tho taxpayers and fuddled the poli- ticians. The courtesies which have greeted the Embassy here have not been of the formal sort involving ostentatious display, but have been civil and sincere, tendered by our fore- most citizens, and expressing to our trans- Pacific neighbors how sensible we are of the great advantages to accrue from the cultivation of intimate friendly relations between the two peoples. Scant time has been allowed the Orientals to become acquainted with the re- sources of our city, but enough, we doubt not, to create o pleasant, impression, and when they leave us this evening for Boston we believe it will be with the desire to return and make New York a longer visit. Aut Is Dovpr in regard to North Carolina to-day, though the Grant men profess to be very confident and the Greeley men very hope- fal, But by to-morrow wo hope to have sufli- [beeZehs:: France has often’ cient returns to settle the question, and we are thankful that this long North Carolina agony is so nearly over. ‘Pangent Points from the Partisan Press. “The fight goes bravely on." Tho partisan Press have organized their ranks, serried their columns, and from every quarter ‘war's loud alarums’’are to be heard. The advance guards of both armies are now contesting inch by inch for foothold upon tho soil of North Caro- lina. To-day will tell the tale of the battle there, and possibly foreshadow the rosult of the general Presidential engagement in No- vember next. The Rochester Democrat (Grant republican) makes a ‘loud call’ upon Mr. Grecley for those letters that Carmichael asserts passed between the Sage of Chappaqua and ex-Gov- ernor Seymour and others in regard to the nomination of the former at Baltimore. The Democrat suggests that the aforesaid corre- spondence be placed jn the hands of George William Curtis or some other administration editor in whose honor Mr, Greeley can confide, satisfying him that he hag all of them with him and that they are the originals, and givo them to the public. Well, let us have these letters, the whole batch of them—if thoy are tobe had. There is nothing like letting overy tub stand on its own bottom, especially in a political campaign like the present. The Philadelphia Press (Grant republican) is hostile to the republican State ticket to be voted for in Pennsylvania in October. It makes no disguise about the matter, but takes the bull by the horns, as if it meant to “buck him off the track.’ In the Press of yesater- day Colonel Forney maintains his loyalty to the republican party by saying :— While we have no explanations to make in regard to Grant and Wilson, and no apologies for our course on State issues, taken after full and due considera- tion and in the face of orety, possible consequence, we laugh to scorn tho idea that, under any circum- stances, we can be found weak or wanting in their support, . ng: The Albany Journal (Grant) persists in identifying the Greeley movement with the Tammany Ring. It declares that ‘tho corrupt forces of Tamméaty are all alert for Mr. Gree- ley. They have seized this movement as the means of rescuing them from the position to which the popular uprising consigned them lnst year. Under its cover they hope to get back into places of power where they can again plunder the people. It is the Tammany of evil repute that responds to Mr. Greeley.” The Albany Argus (Greeley democrat) is elated over the Western outlook for the model woodchopper. It dedlares that ‘if the demo- cratic vote of the nation is put into the ballot box in November for the nominees of the Baltimore Gonvention,-Grant will be as badly beaten as was General Scott by Franklin Pierce, or Martin Van Buren by General Harrison.” “There is much virtue in your ag” The Cleveland Leader (Grant) does notappear to think the charge of ‘want of recollection” brought against Genoral Grant by General Pleasonton proven. It remarks that any one will see on reading the testimony of Pleason- ton “that it amounts to nothing as sustaining 60 gross a charge against the veracity and in- tegrity of the President. Such testimony would be thrown out of any court of justice as utterly untrustworthy, irrelevant and incon- clusive. Pleasonton hes simply shown that he ran where he was not sent and said what he had no authority for saying, when he went to Schurz and offered him patronage in the name of Grant.”’ The Hartford Courant (Grant) gives much prominencé to the fact that the Buffalo Post (democratic) ‘‘considers the nomination of Greeley at Baltimore an insult to honest demo- crats.’’ It is somewhat unusual for a paper of such character and influence as our Connecti- cut contemporary to go all the way to Buffalo for such a little bit of consolation. Has,it not electioncering material enough at homé?’ The Galveston Bulletin (liberal républican) makes.the timely remark that ‘it would seem as if a prearranged plan exists to inaugurate a reign of disorder upon any and every pretext which suits the occasion as an excuse for mili- tary interference and for depriving the South of their vote in the coming Presidential elec- tion.” The effects of “firing the negro heart’”’ in behalf of the republican candidates are to be seen in the recent attempt by a negro in- cendiary to burn the city of Charlotte, N. C.; in the attempt to assassinate the colored Gree- ley Marshal, Ross, in the same State; in the tumult between whites and blacks in Savan- nah, Ga.; in the outrage upon the person of a colored liberal republican orator at Brenham, Texas, and in other deeds of violence committed by ignorant blacks under the spur of white leaders and in the heat of political excitement. The Bulletin properly suggests that the rad- ical negroes must learn to recognize other peo- ple's rights as well na to eget the own. Let them hear with patience what can be said on both sides of the question and be content to answer with argument, not with the barber's razor, the bludgeon and threats of assassina- tion. Against thirty-five millions of whites the five millions of blacks would, in a contest of races, inevitably be obliged to go to the wall, if not eventually be exterminated from the land. The Mobile Register (Greeley democrat) is never mealy-mouthed when it has anything grad to say, In this spirit it declares that it ‘means to elect Mr. Greeley to the Presidenoy, and means tp elect him as a demo- crat.”” Somewhat paradoxtealiy jt_ goes on to observe:—‘‘We mean to do this Sowing hg is in no sense a democrat, and that no amoitnt of our votes can ever make him more one than he is to-day." The Register affirms that it does this, ‘not because it prefers Mr. Greeley to all or any of our own political faith, but be- cause we cannot elect a democrat, and we can and mean to elect Mr. Greeley.’ Like Davy Crockett, being ‘‘sure it is right,’’ the Register is evidently bound to ‘‘go ahead.” The Lexington (Ky.) Press (Greeley) avers that the administration has commenced to carry out its programme, by which it hopes to control the elections in the Southern States. Seventy-four citizens of a little town in Texas have been arrested by federal office-holders and held in bonds for their appearance before the federal courts in a distant city on the first Monday in November. The date fixed for their appearance, thinks tho Press, tells the | whole tale, The next day is the election, and | these citizens must either forfeit their bonds or fail to vote. It is asserted that warrants are out for over three thousand three hundred additional citizens in the district. If this be true, all that can be said of the radicals in Toxas is—they do nothing by halves, Further Evidence Taken by the American Commission. How the Kickapoos Got Inte Mexico. PA SE ae .

A Divorced Husbani Taking Ter- rible Vengeance. A MURDEROUS SURPRISE. He Shoots His Wife's Paramour and Then Kills Himself. RocugsrteEr, July $1, 1872. A fearful tragedy occurred this evening at about half-past ten o’clock. A man named Burkhardt etzeler lived until a few weeks ago with his wife on the second floor of one of the blocks on Maim street, in this city. She recently procured @ divorce from him, however, on the ground of adul- tery, and has since been living alone and receiving secret visits of one Jacob Goetzman. Goetzman had been with her to-night, and was about taking his leave. They left the bedroom and proceeded through a sitting room, in which the gas was turned down low, into a hall bert, Rivet) the kitchen toa rear entrance, by which tzman could go out unobserved by the neighbors.

WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, July 31, 1872. Sumner’s Manifesto Making Darkey Ivorics Shine—Congratulatory Letters tp the Senator. Senator Sumner to-day received a large number of letters from prominent colored men of Washing- ton, thanking him for the timely advice contained in his letter on the political situation, Judging from the number of letters already received Mr. Sumner expects to find himself taxed to read the congratulatory letters be will receive from all parta of the country complimenting him on the course he has pursued. In administration quarters the letter was tg-day generally commented upon. Among those claiming political sagacity no harm to the cause of Grant is anticipated, On the contrary, the friends of Mr. Greeley are sanguine that this timely letter from Sumner will have great weight with the intelligent colored voters all over the country, but prrticularly in the North, The Debt Statement ’ to be issued to-morrow will, it is understood, show @ comparatively very low reduction in consequence of the small receipts and extraordinarily large ex- penditures of the month ending to-day. The officials who have the preparation of the debt state- ment in charge, however, say that it is impossible to judge at present as to what the reductions wilt be, as the returns will not be complete until to- morrow. caer “weg, Che Duty on Silk Crape. ‘ The Treasihy Department decides that atk crape, which has heretofore paid a duty of sixty per cent, is entitied to entry at fifty per cent, and the Col- lector of New York has been so Instructed. “4 ea THE WEATHER. ~ ‘ OFPIOR OF THE CHIRP BIGNAL OrrieRR, Wasuineton, D, C., Aug. 1—1 A.
