Expected Resignation of Min- ister Jay. MORE INDIAN TROUBLES, Severe Comments by Gencral Sherman on the Indian: Buréau, WASHINGTON, June 25, 1873, The President's Returme No intimations or telegrams have been recetved as to thé time of the President’s, return to Wash- ington. Several of the departments to-day sent oMcial documents to him at Long Branch, Reported Tllness of President Grant’s Father. It is stated by a relative of the President that Jesse Grant, his father, is dangerously ill at his residence in Covington, and may die at any mo- ment. The President has been telegraphed to come on without delay. More Indian Troubles—General Sherman on Indian Sincerity. The Indian Bureau to-day received from the War Department an official letter from Lieutenant Colonel John R. Brooke, commanding at Camp Supply, Indian Territory, in which, under date of June 2, he says:— I have just heard from the Cheyennes, who are now encamped on the Wichita, southeast of Ante- lope Hills, where they propose to “make medi- cine.” The Kiowas have gone to the west end of Wichita Mountains. Little Robe and Young Whirl- ‘wind are still on or near the north fork of the Canadian, near Red Hills, The Dog soldiers of the Cheyennes are still in Wichita, below the pvint of Custar’s fight, Except that considerable dissatisfaction exists as to the recent issue to them at the Agency, there seems to be no important “talk” in the Cheyenne camps. Within a week a purty of Comanches re- turned from Texas with a considerable herd of mules, the number of which I have not been able toascertain. The Arapahoes are still quiet, and are cainped along the North Fork, between Sheri- dan’s Roost and the Agency, ‘This official letter is transmitted by Major Gen- eral Pope to Lieutenant General Sheridan, who en- dorses it:— Respectfully forwarded for the information of the General of the Army and the Indian Bureau. ane Cheyennes and Kiowas are off their reserva- 0n8, ; General Sheridan endorses the paper as follows:— Headquarters of the Army, Washington, June 14.—Respectfuily submitted to the Secretary ot War. These are the indians to conciliate Whom Satanta and Big Tree are to be turned loose. I have no more faith in their sincerity than I have in the prairie wolves, and as I once risked my life to test their bag ay 4 I do not propose to again expose others to a like danger, and hope the In- cian Bureau will manage them without the aid of the army, The American Commission at the Vienna | Exposition—Expected Retirement of \ Minister Jay. There is nothing definite about the United States Chief Commissionership at Vienna, Mr. Schultz, after the suspension of General Van Buren, took charge of the business only until another arrange- ment could be made, and he is now desirous of being relieved by July 1. His executive ability has proved so satisfactory that eur government has re- quested him to remain in the interest of American exhibitors till the close of the Exposition; but in the event of his declination to reconsider the notice of his retirement, Mr. Garrettson, as hereto- fore intimated, will be his successor, that gentle- man having beqn strongly endorsed for the posi- tion. The latest information is that some of the articles sent from the United States are of such an inferior quality that their dis- Play would not be creditable to the manufactur- Ing skill of this country, and, therefore, they will be excluded from the Exposition, The American department bas now nearly recovered from the effects of the late irregularities, so far as contribu- tions are concerned, though in other respects our country is not so fortunate. 1t would be no sur- prise if, as stated, Minister Jay’s oficial life should be termnated at the close of the Exposition. The fact is known here that when he was appointed, about four years ago, he said he desired to remain abroad only about half that time. His retirement will be voluntary, without any mtimation from the administration in that direction. Minister Schenck’s Emma Mine Come to Grief, Information from one of the engineers employed toexamine the famous Emma mine, with which Minister Schenck’s name was at one time con- nected, shows that the mine is # total failure. The British stockholders paid one million sterling, and are now eight hundred and forty thousand pounds minus, and have little or nothing on the mine. This is the official report to the stockholders. The New Silver Trade Dollar and the Alarm of the Mexican Government on the Subject. The Mexican government, alarmed at the state- ments made in the HeraLp in May last, of the purpose which our government had In establishing the trade dollar for use in the Oriental countries 4s an outlet jor our silver, immediately decreed that the new dies should be destroyed and the dies in use prior to November 6, 1867, should be re- stored. It appears from a letter received here from the City of Mexico, from an Englishman inter- ested in the coinage of Mexican silver, that while enroute for Mexico a copy of the HERALD containing the article came under his attention. On arriving In the City of Mexico it was at once translated and published both in Spanish and English, Extra edi- tions of the papers were published, resulting in legislation restoring the old dies. The Chinese, especially, objected to the new coinage, alleging that they did not want innovation, as they had no confidence in the standard of the new Mexican dollars. The report had been extensively Circulated that the United States govern- ment was avout to issue a trade dol- lar, and the demand for coinage that could be relied upon has poured into the San Francisco Mint from China, while the bullion deposited by New York dealers to supply the Eastern market indi- Cates how unpopular the new Mexican coinage has become, and how greedy the Chinese are to receive bur trade dollar as @ substitute, In official circles those fully informed say that the trouble with the Rew coinage of Mexico is not in the dies but in the fineness and weight, as the new dollar does not come up to the standard, Whichever way, the Hwraiv’s exposition of the intention of this government has alarmed the Mexican capitalists, Who do not desire that the market for silver coin should be closed against them. The Director of the Philadelphia Mint to-day telegraphed the Treasury Department that the coinage of the new dollar would begin probably on the 6th of July, but cer- bainly not later than the 1oth of July. The Situation in Louisiana. Senator West, of Louisiana, has written a letter , dn the political situation in that state, in which he says: ‘The future salvation of Sou from lection deve sot cata bagel a ess of her material interests and her restoration 0 all her former greatness and still further ad- vancement, rest with the adoption by her citizens of the principles of equal rights and justice to all, tegardiess of color; in the laying aside of pre: iin in the admission that the vices do'no ps in 16 One Face, nor all the virtues to the othe: le opposes the Beauregard movement becau: smong other reasons, it proposes tho creation of w party, whereas the needed reforms may be aMected in the uniécation of all who profess repyb- ) NEW YORK HERALD, THUKSDAY, JUNE 26, 1873--TRIPLE SHEET. prisctolee, and can only be jeopardizea bea ction among these who entertain them. $ expressed the opinion that no new election ‘will be ordered in Louisiana by Congress, Advices received from the leaders of the McEnery party in Louisiana aay that if there is to be @ new election in that State they desire and prefer that it be exclusively under the control of the federal government, and assert, that if Governor Kellogg and his associates are allowed in any way to con- trol or even to intermeddie with it the friends of McEnery and oppont of Kellogg will have nothing to do with the election. Arrangements for the Payment of the Geneva Award. It has been ascertained in an oficial quarter that some progress has already been made by the Brit- ish government in the arrangements for paying the Geneva award, ® part of the means for doing 80 being already in this country in the form of five-tenty bouds to be exchanged for gold on or after the 6th of September, the payment falling due on the 15th of that month, Important Order by the Commissioner of . a ae lensions. ‘The Commissioner of Pensions has promulgated the following new and important order:—On and after the 1st of July;the-consideration of all invalid increase cases, will beguspended by the Pension OMice until the biennial examination, which takes Place on the “4th of September next. Medical ex- aminations, however, Will continue in such cases, 80 that no applicant may suffer loss as to the com- meacement of the increase by reason of the date of the medical examination, Meantime all origi- nal cases upon the files will be considered and dis- posed of, so jar as the evidence will warrant, A New York M. C. Pays Conscience Money Into the Treasury. Clarkson N. Potter, representative from New York, who originally favored the salary grab, though in a modified form, has now turned @ dis- interested patriot. He has enrolled himself among the noble army of back-pay martyrs, and, through Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Smith, has cov- ered the amount into the Treasury. The National Deaf Mute College Com- meneement, The Commencement of the National Deaf Mute College took place this afternoon in the Hall of the Columbian Institution. One of the remarkable features of the exercises was the salutatory which was delivered orally by David H. Carroll, of Ohio, who is entirely deaf and of course cannot hear his own words; but notwithstanding, through his own and the indefatigable exertions of the profes- sors, he has learned to speak with almost perfect distinctness, The valedictory was delivered by Vallandigham Halloway, of Indiana, who had also learned to articulate and deliver orally that por- tion of his oration addressed to persons in the andience who could near. There were about filty students in the cotlege during the term just closed, Illness of the Chief Clerk of the State Department. Mr. Chew, the Chief Clerk of the Department of State, is dangerously ill, The Expenses of United States Courts in Excess of Appropriations, The First Comptroller has issued a circular to the several United States Marshals announcing that the expense of the United States Courts in- curred during the present fiscal year are in excess ol the appropriation, which is now entirely exhausted, This will prevent the settlement of unpaid accounts for services in the fiscal year un- til additional measures are obtained, In all proba- bility a deficiency bil for this purpose will be passed at the next session of Congress, Military Intelligence. The War Department is advised of the arrival at Kelton, on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, of two companies (L and M) of the First cavalry, en route to the Departme nt of the Columbia. BACK PAY BUTLER. Prospects of the Essex Statesman for the Massachusetts Governorship—The Temperance Men Think Him a Usefal Devil—Forthcoming Explanation of the Back Pay Robbery. Boston, June 25, 1873. General Ben. F, Butler will develop the plan of his struggle for the Massachusetts Governorship in the course ofa few days. It will simply be a packing of caucuses and preliminary meetings to secure the nomination of delegates to the State Convention who are favorable to the nomination of the Sage of Essex. The substance of an editorial ina Washington paper, in defence of the weak- nesses of the Essex statesman, has been re- printed here to-day in the Traveller, and it has had the effect to awaken or renew the public in- terest in the question of whether or not the Generai will receive the regular Guberuatorial nomination of the Republican Convention. If he receives it there will be a bolt, and if he fails to re- ceive it there Will be a bolt. So, taking it ail in all, there are prospects of a very lively campaign. Nine Butler clubs in Boston, for instance, held meetings to-night and strengthened and reiniorced their weak points and renewed their determina- tion to carry Oid Ben into the Gubernatorial chair. The State Temperance Alliance, at a meeting this afternoon, also rendered a complimentary allusion to Mr. Butler, through its Chairman, to the effect that the State could be car- ried for General Butler because he was aman who would enforce the Prohibitory law. ‘The general sentiment of the meeting concerning Butler, in spite of what few remarks were made against him, was best expressed in the remarks of Kodney French, of New Bediord, when he said that he would rather have a ‘devilin hell who would enforce the Liquor law than an angel of light who would do no more than Washburn has.” The main necessity was to have @ man for Governor who would put the law in force. The salient points, or the map of tue scene of political hostili- ties, will be made known in afew days. Within a brief period also General Butler, it 18 understood, will suy Something about the salary grab question and his connection with it, THE NATIONAL GAME, The Matual Score—Another Victory.

Crown Prince was the favorite before the start at about two to one, but the stal- lion winning the first two heats became in turn a great favorite.

The high mettled race horse from all sections of the country is wending his way at the present time to Long Branch, to be in readiness to run for the many liberal premiums to be given by the man- agement of Monmouth Park, The races begin on Friday, the 4th of July. On that day we anticipate witnessing the largest con- gregation of happy people that were ever on a race course in this country at one time, A crowd similar to those that were wont to meet at Epsom on the Derby days may be looked for on the open- ing day, as the gates o/ an American race course will be thrown open free to the people for the first time on that occasion, and kept so during the meeting. Four races are on the card for that day, the first being the Long Branch grand national steeple chase, for all ages, the distance being about three miles, The second race will be a dash of one mile by all ages. The third race wiil be mile heata, and the fourth race, the great event of the day, the Jersey Derby Stakes, which closed with forty-nine nominations, comprising such wonderful colts and fillies as Mr. McGrath’s bay colt Tom Bowling, by Lexington, dam Lucy Fow- ler; August Belmopt’s chestnut colt Count D’Orsay, by Kentucky, dam Lady Blessington, and the same gentleman’s imported bay colt by Bread- albane, dam Ellermire; D. McDaniel & Co.’s chest. nut colt Springbok, by Australian, dam Hester, the winner of the Belmont Stakes; Hunter & Travers’ iraported black colt Strachino, by Parme- san, dam May Bell; W. Cottrell’s bay filly Sally Watson, by Daniel Boone, dam Maggie G., by Brown Dick; D. D. Wither’s imported bay colt Stonehenge, by Blair Athol, dam Coimbra; besides others that have not public record. The contest between Springbok and Tom Bowling in this race is creat- ing almost as much excitement as did that be- tween Harry Bassett and Longfellow for the Mon- mouth Cup last year. Springbok, from his races at Jerome Park, is talked of as being a superior colt to Harry Bassett, and he may be so for all we know; but when he meets Tom Bowling the Kentuckians will be much mistaken if Tom Bowling does not show Springbok the way up the homestretch at the finish about as easily as Longfellow did Harry Bassett. But it is not a certainty that either of them will win the stake. Mr. Beimont’s pair are good ones, Count D’Orsay being beaten by Spring: bok less than alength for the Belmont. Stakes, when the latter had the best part of the track, And there will be Straciino, who is tmproving every day, that will be found a very dangerous coit at the end of a mile and a half, to say nothing of the otaer flyers that have thus iar been kept in the dark and will make thelr first appearance at Monmouth Park on Independence Day.

Y., June 25, 1873, The Utica Park Running Meeting was inaugur- ated to-day, The afternoon was fine and the at tendance larger than was anticipated. The pool selling Jor the first race was lively.

White the 2:27 Purse and Spotts- wood the Running Contest. The Spring trotting meeting of the Waverly Park Association opened auspiciously yesterday after. noon. The course is situated quite delighttully, eleven miles from New York, ou the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and 18 surrounded with pleasant rising ground, on which are dense groves that make a grand framework to a beautiful picture, ‘The attendance was of the most satisiactory char acter, the stand at two o’clock being filed with country beauties, whose fair faces, pink-tipped cheeks and eager eyes grew enthusiastic at the charming landscape and the animated scene on the track. All along the hills scores of carriages were aligned, and on the field there were many Charming equipages, while wandering to and fro were hundreds of genuine sporting gentlemen and scores of rustics, who imagine thas the race track is a place to make fools of themselves, and in this respect they shine resplendently. This hali-mile track is peculiarly latd out, and might, with some little expense, be made of much better shape, Itis “up bill and down hill, with no stretches,” said a prominent driver yesterday, and his opinion was more than once echoed by owners of trotting horses on the grounds, There were four events on the card for the | amusement of the two thousand persons present— these being three trotting contests and one run- ning race. The judges of the day were Messrs, J. ©, Littell, J. Harvey Halsey and John Brisbin, gen- tlemen fully competent for the positions in whicb they were placed, no doubt, but they erred in several instances—in allowing the drivers. more latitude than the rules admit of and also in giving the word at times when great injustice was done some of the competing horses, A police force was present which did some little service, but it utterly ignored the reporters’ stand, which before the first heat of the first race was over was crowded with men who had no more business there than they had up among the judges, Itis to be hoped that some of the “colonels,” “majors” and “captains” that found the place such a delightful retreat may give the workingmen little more room to-day. There were no pools sold on the track and no spirituous liquors disposed of within the enclosure, These innovations were by order of the Association. The sport, which, ali in Ba) Was quite satisfactory, will be found in detail elow :— THE MEMBERS’ PURSE.
