THE TURF RACING AT J2R0ME PABK. Second Day of tlie Slimmer Meeting of the American Jockcy Club. A I*i iiiiiriit AHscmblagc at the Course. THE SCENES ON AND ABOUT THE GROUNDS The Westchester Cup Won by Loadstone. De Conreey and Fleetwing the Winners of the Other Races* Th< second day of the summer meeting of the Ainerl m Jockey Club at Jerome Pork passed off yesterday with u degree of Mat excel Hag evon tbat of the day lwfore. The appearance o t tie course yesterday, bor dered wttb a brilliant throng Of spectators, its grand gal leries crowded with ladies, and the k^lls an^jrojee on %ll sides black with accumulated vehicles of tho utmost eieganco of finish and ornamentation, gave abundant proof In Itself of the success of the efforts of the club towards popularizing the sports of the turr. Notwith standing tho fact that many families whose presence would otherwise aid in the adornment of the scone are absent from the city on extended rural tours for health and recreation, the attendance yesterday was large, and He components were of tho greatest variety and beauty, both In detail, and in their effect as a whole. The numbor ef finely attired and beautiful ladles who were present and gave the high prestige of their social position and beauty to the sports of the day, from their beginning to the very ond, Is worthy of remark as one of the most pleoftlng of the many commendable features whicb pre vail on this well conducted course, purely on no ?ther course la this country has there ever been Been such a One assemblage of beautiful and richly cos tumed ladles a* that which lent the most brilliant beau ties to the Jerome Park racing grounds during yester day. It Is unusual to find ladies In such numbers and ?f such a class as those tbat always assemble in such foree to patronize the sports of the turf as managed by ttiieckib. This pleasing feature of the grounds alone would prove attractive to the gentlemanly turfman, and kaa already won a good reputation for the course. TtIK W1Y TO TDK R40R yesterday was by the usual routos, and was pretty ?early tbo same in its events and incidents as the day More. There was the same display of gorgeous equip ages, immaculate beaux, dashing belles, high-spirited teams and disdainful tlunkies. There was the same whirl of vehicles northward through the winding drive ?f the Park and out on the smooth road toward Ma eombe' dam bridge; the samo -brilliant display to the up town streets, the same gay pro maslon of wealth and fashion and beauty, and the samo Interest and anxiety to reach 4he scene that marked the preliminary display of the ?ret day el the meeting. Among the democratically In clined ? those Independent masculines who "went It" ?lone, or those unfortunate beaux who were punished by being oompelled to "do" the races without the company of some lair Dulcinea to tftare with them the excltoments and pleasures of the aoene? there was a division as to routes toward the ?onrse. The doubling of tho fare by the Harlem Rail read Company induced many of the Indignant ones who had the leisure to take to the horse cars, and make the trip to Fordham in about double the time occupied by the rlcketty railroad train to transport Ita passengers to the same locality. The excursion train, which left at half paat one P. M., however, was crowded with a good-numored and sportive crowd of habitual sports, gay gentlemen of leisure. professional men, ana youth* representing wealth ?ad respec lability. The trip by ileum was a nony one. Tbe can were ailed with gentlemon, and each wss dis carwlng with hia neighbor or friend the prosper i? and probabilities of the rsce* marked on the pro gramme for ^ie day. Arguments In reference to line poiut* of spttid or bottom In favorite horse* whose ?imn appo.-Ad on the cards and numerous bets ware snada. Bantering prevailed on all sides and money was everywhere being flourished, wagers being definitely described er noisily debated over, and the interior of the train waa, from the time of the start until the base of the arrival at Jerome station, a Babel where sound and excitement prevailed. Every mm who visited the grounds with any intention ?T (taking moner on the result of the contests ?earned to take advantage of this trip to put up his first pile. Many ?'went it blind," allowing fortune to decide wbtch should be their favorite horses for the day, and thee* they backed sturdily with heavy stakes. It seems the turf is not witliout a great decree of the superstition which clings about the affairs of I .re, especially affairs in which money or gain in any shape is Involved. Good lack Is sought st tbe outset by those who make a prac tice of jregerlng heavily 1 on the performances of bona*, and it was the invocation of slippery fortune that sccssioned the strange scenes that en livened the trip aud softened the rugged way toward the course. Snras men, in doubt as to the merits of two horses >n the ?ame race, would flip up a oent to docide which they should take as tbeir favorite, and always abided by the decision of fortune, and confidingly staked their greenbacks on the strength of the assurance given by their luck that they were pursuing the right course. other* maiu drew lot*. In private partiee, for the names of the horse* they abould "back," and made their bets with each other in accordance with the result of the drawing, while a large proportion of the passengers occupied a mediating position In the way or advisers to those who risked their money, umpires of the disputes of the tnick baaded, and stakeholder* in wboxe custody, before the train disgorged its uneasy load, there were piles of green backs of all denominations, from the modeet ??fiver"' up wards. ? at mi naorsns the same scene of animated beauty that has heretofore, ?a similar occasion*. noted the meeting of the sport loving crowds, again prevailed. The booths, the keg* ?f lager on tap, the pyramids of sandwiches, the lung trains of vehiclee turned In beside the fence* bordering tbe avenne of approach to the public gate, the (weeping Ualn of entering vehiclee, and lastly the hurrying pro ccsalon of psdsstrlans trailing along like a huge serpent, ?advancing from the depot, made up a *ceu* ei*ctly the counterpart of that which prevailed on the first day of tbe meeting Each hilly place and coign of vantage without the enclosure bad Its crowd of patient admirer* of th* grand seen*, who waited with anxlstv for the ap pearand of the gaudy Jockey* and their flying iteeds. These crowds consisted of hack men whose veb.-ies remained ostsid* of tb? gate, boy* from the city and the country round about, and even poor families, men, women and children, to whom the outlay of the money required to gain an entrance to the grounds would prove mi Item of considerable important*. There were many Of thee* parties, and their enthusiastic admiration of the ?port wa* well rewarded; for from the oool, shaded position* la th* breerv troves of tbe bl(h land* on wtiob they had estsbluhsd themselves a complete view of trie course wm commanded. e<'tal to that Obtained flroa tbe elub stand, and tbey bad the satisfaction of witnSMing "free gratis" not I'mly the grand display of the grounds, with ths brilliant assemblage thereon, bat also tbe most minute detail* of tbe hotly ?oatssted r-u<-es. They, too, entered fully Into ths sp rtt of lbs scene* of th* rwt arena, and frequently, in tbe lull of the enthusiastic plaudit* which swelled up from tne VMt ooncour*e of the stand* and the dlstin gutibed company of the club house height, routing ohoeis wsr? heard from the ln?ty lung* of these d?m >? cratic alghtMers. whose enjoyment of the sports ot the day wm squally ss thorough as that of the less demon, sirativa assemblage which farmed a perl of the bright ac?ne. Among these "deal bead*" of th* outside height* betting also prevailed to some sstent, slthough It waa limited te stnuil sums or the wagers wer> paid Is bail c gars, which were hawked shout by a boy of persuasive manner and argumentative turn of miud, who would attempt to prove on the snisiiest provocation that he could afford to sell live ten cent cigars lor tliree cents each. vw* rxr* '.sorvne. The club bouse and th? private ground* about 't were, as usual, very lively and brill, ant in the display oi *upert> ?<jnt I -age* and fin* comj.*ny.

The restaurant was is (ct vs operation, and aristocratic waiters, m the most dut,np,e full dress, floated airtlv among tbe tables, wrestling with napkin* and puddings, Ice* and ehampun* cork*, with a dignity that was truly "stunnltg. " Th* g*v company of ladies assembled In such numbers that tbe spacious paims of ths olnb bouss could not afford them accommodations ?r s view of tbe track ; so, from the overflow of ibis brilliant congregation, the club stand directly oppostts, ?n the public (Ids of th* trsrk. waa agr?sably filled, forming s rssplsodsni adornment loapvtun. which waa already more than oeeutiful. K*erv inch of the area of i ha club house plaz/as waa Ailed up the rarrmgM and flns veblelM of every uniqse (haps and decoration, which bad oonveyed the brilliant c i.'.peny to the scene, were clustered on the ude* ef me Weft. thickly gatberei on the plateau on Its top, WMrh wee alao crowded with gentlsmsn, who gatnered during the progress of ths several races at such prints u ?ilar.Jvd s vltts of a portion of tus ws*.?, aad at ths Visas ?f the bluff there wen plainly visible distinctive strata ol queerly goi^ou up fiimkles, who alfeo view <1 the scene much aul wirfered tn imitation or tnelr - Hasten on their favour homes. Tbo observatory, towering up beside the club bouse, hot! also a crowd of H|M'Ctai?r* oo its lop, and above all these then1 floated lastly m 'he summer bfeeae the bright banner of the oluii, which wad displayed from a flagstutl on this loftjr structure. rue rui'Lic eii'K or the grounds, however, shone out in successful rivalry of the club Iiouko display. The two deep galleries of the immense stands were well tilled with a congregation in which the bright hue? of tasteful lemaie costumes shone out iu charming relief to the dull attire of the rosllesa masculine*. The banners of the club arose over all, and the tasteful awning-, throwing the rich colors in deeper shades, completed the striking beauty of tbo scene, beyond doubt the grandest to bo witnessod any where oo the grounds. Beside this stand private con veyances in great number and ol every style of beauty were drawn up close along the tide of the homestretch, and from their seats in tbo vehicles richly attired ladies closely viewed the struggles of the incer#, and cheered on the straining steeds with the i clapping of gloved hands or the waving of handker chiefs. In the rear of the stands the several bars were patronized extensively betweeu each race. Crowds be sieged the counter*, outsidars clamored at the windows for their drinks, and sandwiches disappeared as rapidly as If a party of street urchlus had been authorized to gorge themselves on them gratis. During these periods of activity the most sprightly barkeepers were severely exercised, and it required the exercise of ail the nim bleness and dexterity acquired in the long practice of their calling to enable them to make headway against the demands or the streaming tide of thirsty ones who, like a bost of locosts, swept everything edible or btblble before them on each successive visit. Ixmg lines of carriages crowned the plateau over which the drive passes, in the rear of the common stand for those who pay the smallest admission fee, and at that outlay view the doings on the course, and this portion of the grounds was itself muoh more crowded and lively with active, excited humanity than on tho first day or the meeting. The company here assembled, however, was good, and bore out the reputation of thy grounds for general respectability. Tills portldta of the field being, however, exposed to the sun, and no roofed stand or awning affording ita cooling shade, the excuse for the imbibation of cooling drinks was always availa ble. Bucb of the assemblage? and there were many? who had twipergnco tendencies were furniBlied with w?W by a consequential colored gentleman, who solg it to the thirsty at five cents a glass. This individual, on being approached by a customer, would clutch the glass, and sternly refuse to allow (ho purchaser to receive bis cooling draught until he had paid up his five cents therefor. A second glass or mouthrul furnished to t'ie same individual occasioned him a further expense of fire cents. Several gentlomtn demurred to this chargo and went off to find a drinking fountain, but there being no such accommodation on the grounds, found them selves reduced to the necessity of drinking liquor or paying five cents to the immidont negro for a glass or water. The prevailing sentiment of the water drinkers was that the authorities or tho Park should first coerce that darkey and thon establish a fountain in the tem perance interest. '-?? tV ' THS QrARTKRSTltETCn was again, as usoal, the scone or extraordinary excite ment. Here, on the broad grassy promenade, all the bettmg men assembled, exchanging views, laying their wagers, making their loud offers, displaying their green backs and pocketing tbeir gains. During the in tervals between the races the crowd, knit closely together in its deep interest in the proceedings, centred about the neat pagoda from which a jovial little man, with a merry twinkling oye and a stirring voice, neld rortb his inducements to those inclined to make pur chases in the pools. The purchasers were many, and the excitement, as sums ran up to bigh figures under the hammer or the auctioneer, was very great, involving the interest and deep attention or the on tire assemblago on this portion or the grounds. This pool selling quarter has become a feature ol the course, and adds greatly to the briskness and lire of the scene. I'nder its influence the excitemont is continuously maintained, and this averts the weariness and flagging of spirit which would be consequent on waiting for the noxt event, with no organized operations In progress to oc cupy the mind, or to keep It up at the lively speed in which it Is stirred by the furious struggle of the steeds. The scene about this pagada between the races or just ben ire the opening of tho day's sport is always stirring, and yesterday was pecnllary Interesting, owing to the good quai'tles of the contesting animals, and the e von nes* ot their abilities. The Raclna The track was in capital condition yesterday, and the racing highly exciting. The Westchester Cup was won by Mr. Sanford s Loadstone, arter a neck and neck struggle with Onward, who was, beaten only a head at the finish ; and but Tot his bolting when on the lead, might have won the race. He is a great racer, but a very unreliable horse. The second race was won by Mr. Forbes' colt De Courcey, in gallant sty It, beating Mr. Clay's Rivoli, and Mr. McDaniol's Lexington oolt. The best race or the day, however, was the two mile heat race, in which rour good horses contended for the purse. The race was won by old Fleetwing, he winning the first and third heats, and beating Luxemburg, the favorite before the start, Delaware, Blackbird and Pennock's Vandal colt. The time in the aggregate is probably the best that was ever made In this country, at we do not remember three two mile heats having been made under 3:44. THK VIBST RACK. The "Westchester Cup," value $1,500 In gold, added to a sweepstake* of $50 each, play or pay, for all aget, two and a quarter milts; winners this year of stakes and premiums amounting to $2,000, six pounds extra; of $1,000, three pounds extra.

TUIs was a fair average of the betting through oat. TIIK RACK, The race being two miles and a quartar, the horses were started from the three-quarter pole, at the head of tbo homestretch. With a fine send-off they got away on prettv even terms. and came thundering up past tho grand stand, Oaward loading, Gilroy second and load sUino and Dazzle head and head. In that way tbey phased tho stand in twenty-soven seconds from the start ing point. On the upper turn Onward led two lengths. Gilroy second, two lenpth* ahead of Loadstone, who ?a? one length ahead of Dazzle. The horses went to tho qu.irter pole with tbe slightest change of position; but as they made tho wheel to tho left and then a^ain to the right Onward Increased his advautaee, and wben in front of the stand on the bluff he was leading three lengths, the others as parallel as could be. On tho next swtng to the right they separated, and at the half-mile pole Onward still led three lengths, Gilroy second, one length ahead of loadstone, who was a length in advauce of Dazzle. Just as onward reached the half-mile pole be played on* of his old tricks and bolted across the track, the other horses getting past him before I.lttletleld. his rider, could straighten hltn again to his work. load stone had now run to the front, and led around the lower turn half a length ahead of Gilroy, who was a length ahead of Onward. Dazzle bavin*.' resumed his position at the end of the string. At the three-quarter pole they 'were nose and tail, 1/oadstono leading, Gilroy secmd, Onward third. Coming Into the home stretch Onward nrnde running, and, being fol lowed by Gilroy, the former ran to the front, Gdroy second and l.oadstone third, Dazzle falling off hair a dozen lengths. In this way they oame up and passed the stand, making the mile In 1 :54. The race then set la with increased spirit, and going round tbe turn Onward led two lengths, Gilroy second, one length in front of loadstone, Dazzle giving the race up At tbe qusrter pole tbe horses were as last mentioned : but In making the various turns around the blutf they came all together at the front of It, loadstone and Onward head and head, w th t.ilroy half a length behind. At the half mile pole Onward had shaken Loadstone off, and was lead n? him a length, Gilroy a length behind. The same sia'e of attain continued around the lower t irn. not witl, standing ail were doing the l>e*i for the lead; bat the exciting part of tbe race was yet to come. As the horses swung into tbe homestretch, the struggle became fierce. I'lie Kngtish Joe.key on l/0<ducne began to "roll" bis harse and to gain" inch by inch on Onward, until, as they reached the grand stand, tbey wets bead and bead. ' Llttlefleld, the rider of On?ard. tried all his arte to shake Loadstone off, without effect, and In this way the b?r*es paaeed np to the JtiSgee stand, no one knowing which would be the winner, so e\en were their heads as they passed tbe spectator* on the stand. loadstone won by a head, making the last mi's n 149V and the dash in 4 10-?, winch is remarkable time with one hundred and thirty one pounds up, be having to cam* three pounds extra for beating Delaware and Flee'twing al the last meeting.

(Joins around tho lower turn the Vandal took second place, Teadine Hela waro one length, the latter being six lengths ahead of Luxemburg, who was now fourth. At the throe-quarter Sole the Vandal had shut up the daylight, and was resslng his suit warmly on old Fleet wing. Tho latter, however, kept him at bay and soon shook him off again, and they camo up tbe stretch and passed the stand at a clipping pace? time, 1:60? Fleeting load.lng nearly three lengths, De'aworfe three lengths Deliind. but about tho same dis'kdc* ih front of Luxemburg, who was four in advance of Blackbird. Going around the upper turn old Fleotwing Increased his stride and made the distauce tour lengths between himself and the Vandal colt ; but it was soon seen that tbe other had something also left to let out, and he began closing rapidly to the quarter pole, Fleetwing leading past that point two lengths, T)olawari third,- Six lengths behind, but four id advance of Luxemburg, who was four longths ahead of Blackbird. Thoy were 4II running now, and as they came down from the quarter pole towards the turn at tho bluff they were all doing their best. As they passed the rront of the bluff Fleetwing led two lengths, Dela ware, the Vandal and Luxemburg were head and head, and tho race was highly Interesting. Thoy parsed tbe half milo pole in the same m&nuif J but Mioy got on the lower turn the trio had overhauled Fleetwing, and the four were nearly parallel. At tbe three quarter pole Fleetwing hod the best of it by a neck, Delaware and the Vaudal head anil head, Luxemburg half a length behind, about four lengths in front of Black bird. The race up the homestretch was a merry one, the Vandal colt and Fleetwing having a neck and necic struggle all the way up in front of the grand stand to the string; and so close was tbe struggle that it was impossible for any one to say which was tbe winner. Lux-, emburg third, one length behind, and one leupth in front of Delaware, who was half a dozen lengths ahead or Blackbird. The judges after some de liberation decided that Fleetwins had won the heat. It was vary close, and those who were on the line aaid that Fleetwing won by about six inches. Time of the last milo 1 :60, and of the heat 3:40. Se ond Heat? A change now came over tbe pool buyers, and Luxemburg was not so much in demand as bolore tbe start Fleetwing had now the call, and be brought $800, Delaware, $375; Luxemburg, $350; the Vandal colt, $100. and Blackbird. $50. Blackbird took the lead tbls time and crossed the track and took the polo in an Instant, Delaware second, Fleetwing thtrd, Luxemburg fourth, and Fleetwing last At the quarter pole Blackbird led ono length, Delaware second, ono length ahead of tbe Vandal colt, who was half a length In front of Luxemburg, and Fleetwing one length be hind. At* the turn of the blulf Blackbird still led one length, Delaware next, ono length abead of the Vandal, Luxemburg fourth, hanging on the iattor's quarters, with Fleetwing at his tall. As they swept away to the right thoy were very close together, and so they continued around ihe lower turn. Blackbird still holding the lead, Delaware second, Vandal third, Luxemburg fourth and Fleetwing fifth. As they entered tbe homestretch Blackbird yet maintained nis lead, while Delaware, Vandal and Luxemburg were running head and head, and tbe.v continued in tbls way all the way up. and passed the judges1 stand in 1:53 '4. Going aroqnd Hie upper tarn tbey Strang out again, nose and tail, Blackbird first, Delaware second, Luxemburg tblrd, tbe Vandal rourth and Fleetwing fifth. Going to the quarter pole old Fleetwing made some tall running, and was third at tbat point, and as became down and around tbe bluff he looked very much like a winner; tho Vandal and Luxemburg were head and head, and Delaware fifth, Blackbird leading a short length. The raelng waa all tbat could be desired and every beholder wan intensely excited ? ltb the spirit and beat of tbe contest. At tho half mile pole they were all apart again; but on the lower turn, wbere every horse was doing his best, tbe lour were abreast one length behind Blackbird. As they came on tbe home stretch Blackbird was still one length in advanco, Dela ware second, half a leogtli in advance of the Vandal, who was half a length ahead of Luxemburg, the latter being two lengths abead of Fleetwing, who appeared to have given up the struggle to let the others Ikht for the heal. As ine horses reached lao urawpaio noiawaru ana ' the Vandal, running neck and nock, began cloning on Blackbird, and Pennock bad just readied his liend in front of the grand stand when Delaware put on a spurt, and, going past them both, woo the lieat by half a Iragth, Blackbird second, hair a length In irontj>f the Vandal colt, who was two lengths in ad vance of Luxemburg, Fleetwing two lengths behind. Time of the last mile 1:49 and of the heat 3:43. Wh~-n the heat was over It was discovered that Blackbird had been run on somewhere in the race as his on hock was badly cut, at< was also bis o-ar hind heeL- Some said that Delaware had done it just at the Unish when he passed in between the Vandal colt and Blackbird. No one, however, knew positively how the accident hap. pened ; but, as the judges saw tlio Vandal colt swerve a little as bo catne up the track they rulod hltn out and gave the heat to Delaware, although nil were convinced that the Vandal colt had not done the mischief. BiacK bird was withdrawn. Tki'd /Mi/.? Fleetwing was the favorite at even money against Delaware and Luxemburg, the only hors?>s now in the rare. Fleet Wing went olf with the load, and going unvind the upper turn was two length* In front of the others, who were running neck and Zck. At the quarter polo Luxemburg challenged hitn d took the lead ; but as they turcod around the bluff they wore h-ad and he;id, with Delaware four lengths behind. The horses ran in this way around the lower turn ; but when thev came on the homestretch Delaware made some good running and closed rap.dly on the otfters. who came up the stretch head aud head, and th^y pass?d tinker tho string making the mile in 1 M)'., Delaware one length behind, tiolnu around the upper turn Fleetwlug shook 'Luxemburg ott and led two lengths very quickly. Delawaro third, half a len th behind. Before they reached the quarter pole Delaware passed Luxemburg, and was within a length of Fleetwing. Ornlng down to the bluff and going around It Delaware tried his best In get in front, but the out hone would not allow i', and be began opening the gap on the other, carrying three lengths to the huif-tnilu pole, where bo appeared to be running very easily. Delaware struggled on after him around the lower tarn, where Luxemburg's stride began to grow verv short indeed, and he soon fell away far In the rear. Fleetwing kept on his lone, steady stride up th? homestretch, aud won the race by five lengths, Del aware second, twenty lengths ahead of Luxemburg. The last mile wo.* run in 1:52& and the heat in 3:43. Trotting on the Fashion Course. A wagon trot took place yesterday afternoon on the Fashion coarse, mile heats, for a purse and s'axe of $900. Fearless, George S. Patchen. Jr., Fanic and Lacy were entered for the race, but Lucy did not start, she was brought oat and scored several times, but as it was ovutent she was in no condition to trot she was not started. After the first beat was trotted' and won by Fearless, Panic was withdrawn, and that narrowed the contest down to Fearless and Patchen. In the Qrst pool sold before the race commenced Fearless and Lucy were respectively the first and second choice, the former bringing $76, I.ncy $M and Patchen $25, Panic not being cold at all. Subsequently Fearless brought $U0, Luey |K0 and the stallion $42, with very few pools sold In the flirt heat Fearless had a bad send off, being about a length behind Patchen and Panic; but owing to the unsteadiness of l'atchen, who b'oke badly in several Instance-, and so lost al! chance of winning the hent, she quickly took the second place, and pressed Panic so severely on the homoftretch that lie slso left his feet and .she cam* in first with very little apparent effort.

Tbe following proclamation, announcing officially U" ratification or tbe treaty between Russia and tbe United States regarding tbe purchase of Russian America, is promulgated: ? BT TUB PKBBlnnrr OF THS r*TTKD STATES ? A rRn<TiM>TIO!t. Whereas the treaty between tbe Unite<l States of America and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias was concluded and signed by tbeir respective plenipo tentiaries, at the city of Washington, on the 30th day of March last, which treaty, being in the English and French languages, is, word for word, as follows:? [This treaty has already been published, and cedes to tbe United States, immediately upon the exchange of ratifications, all of the Russian American possessions; in consideration of which the United States are to pay Russia, within ten months, seven million two hundred thousand dollars iu gold.] And whereas, tbe said treaty has been duly ratified on both parts, and tbe respective ratifications of tbe same were exchanged at Washington on tbis 20th day of June, by William H. Seward, Secretary Of State of the United States, and the Privy Counsellor Edward Do Stoeckie, tbe Envoy Extraordinary of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, on the part of their respec tive governments. Now, therefore, be it known that I, ANDREW JOHN SON, President of the United States of America, have canned the said treaty to be made public, to tbe end that tbe same, and every clause and article thereof, may be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States and the citizens thereof, lu witness wbereof 1 have hereunto set my band, and caused tho seal of tbe United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 20th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred kftd sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the I'n ted States the ninety-first. ANDHEW JOHNSON. By the President:? Willum H. Skwabo, Secretary of State. Meetlni ef tbe Cabinet? Preparation of In Htructions to military Commanders. Another meeting of tbe Cabinet took placo to-day, which was attended by all the members. The business before the Cabinet is said to"have been the prepMfrtion of the instructions to military commanders on tbe exe cution of the Reoonstraction laws, tbe Indian im broglio, and several matters of minor importance. The necessity of disposing of the difficulties attending the late removals and appointments by district commanders, before the President's departure on bis trip to Boston, was the occasion of the meeting of the Cabinet to-day. It is understood that the instructions to military com manders, in reference to removals and appointments under tbe Reconstruction laws were completed, and will be forwarded to each of the district commanders at once. Tbe President's Visit to Ronton. The President will be accompanied in his trip to Bos ton bjr .vecretary Seward, Postmaster General Randall, Surgeon Basil Norris, Wited Stales Army, and by Wil liam 0. Moore, of his staff. He will leave Washington to-morrow morning in tbe forty -five minutes past 8?ven train. The full Marine Band, thirty-three pieces, with new uniforms, will accompany the Knights Templar from Washington, the latter being the President's es cort. Preparations have been made by the band to give one grand concert, of their choicest selections, in Bos ton, on Monday ovenlog. These Washington KnUhts Templar number fifty, wbo will be joined by forty of their brethren of Baltimore. The entire party will aarivo at New York to-morrow evening between five and six o'clock. Tbe Presidential Impeachment Question. The members of the House Judiciary Committee are expected to arrive here in the early part of next weok, in order to close up tbe business before them in time for the reassembling of Congress In July. The impeachment testimony has all been collected and arranged, and will, it Is said, be submitted to the Honse unaccompanied by a report It has been commented upon here as a curious coincidence that while one Massachusetts Congressman (ex-Governor Boutwell) was here on committee in la borious session to find cause for tbe Impeachment of the President, another Congressman from tbe same Slate (General Banks) came on here a few weeks since to urge the President to make a trip to Boston and receive public honors at the dedication of the new Masonic Temple in that city. Pardon of General Loncitreet. A pardon was to-day Issued in the case of General Longstreet, It having been granted upon the written and pertonal application of numerous prominent individuals, including among tba names appended to the request that of General Grant and other prominent officers of the army, with several Seaatora and Representatives, many of whom were also personally applicants for the pardon. The Political Campaign In Virginia. The campaign of the radical party in Virginia Is being conducted with great vigor, under the auspices of the Congressional Executive Committee. A large meeting will be held to-morrow at Piedmont Station, at which Hon. L. Sherwood, of Texas ; L. Edwin Dudley of Mas sachusetts, and Colonel Wm. A. Cook, ef Pennsylvania, will speak. Another mass meeting will be held at Fair fax Court Houso on Saturday, at whtoh the above named speakers and Colonel C. E. Moss, of Missouri, will addrcsa the people. Similar mattings are being held ail over the btate, and If the position of the District Attorney at Richmond is sustained there is no doubt the radicals will carry the State. The Arrest for Illegal Registration la Rich mond. District Attorney Chandler left Richmond to-night for this city, In company with General Weils, to consult with Attorney General Htanbery as to the disposition to be made of the case of arrest made yesterday tor violat ing (he disfranchising clause of the Alexandria constitu tion. Tlie Funeral of Jnd?e l.vone nt Richmond. The following account of tho funeral of Judge Lyons at Richmond, Va., was received thi9 evening:? At four o'clock this aitornoon tho remains of Judge Lyons were taken from his residence, on Main street, to Itev. Dr. Moore's church, where a solemn funeral service was celebrated, in which ministers from overy sect in the city took a part. A sermon of great force was de livered by Rev. Dr. Moore to a vast congregation. The bells of the city tolled a requiem at intervals through the day. The stores on every street were closed, and business was suspended. The remains were escorted to the church by over a hundred carriage*, followed by a procession on foot, comprising the Ambulanoe Com mittee, the police. City Council, press, members of the bar. Masons and citixena of all classes. Never before In the history of Richmond has such a universal tribute of respect been paid to a departed private citizen. Tho ser vice In the church concluded at six o'clock, and the procession again formed to proceed to Hollywood Cemetery. All the prominent men In Richmond and around it, of every shade of opinion, were present on foot or in carnages. The Capitol Green was tilled with ladles, and the steps and portico of 8t Paul's church, together with the stoops and windows the entire length of Grace street, were occupied by the fairest and most refined at Rich mond society. The cortege extended over a mile la length, and moved at a alow rats to the cemetery, a short distance from the city. Here a grave was ready excavated, on an eminence oalled "President Hill," where He deposited all that M mortal of President Mon roe, President Tyler, General David R. Jones, General Pegram and his brother, Colonel Petcram; Captain O. J> n mors, Wise and Major Wheat, of the Louisiana Tigers. When the coffin was lowered the Masonic Fraternity went through the customary ritual, after which the Immense procession dispersed. The Judre leaves a wife and Ave children. His death, at the early age of thirty-seven, has been a source of more sincere public and private sorrow than can be adequately expressed. Governor Pierpoint will appoint some person in the Judge's place when be has consulted the law of appoint ment in reference to the Hustings Court. Maprrleteadeala ?t National Ometcrir*. An order from tbo War Department, dated ISth injt., announces that under the act of February 22, 1967, superintendents of national cemeteries are to be ap pointed by the Secretary of War from enlisted men of the army disabled In service, such superintendents to have the pay and allowances of ordnance sergeants, and to reside at tbe cemeteries, for the purpose of guarding them and giving Information to visitors. In view of the responsibility attached to the place of superintendent, and his not using under the direct supervision of a superior officer, it is of grest importance that none but men of excellent and reliable character shall be appointed. Applicants and persons recommended most therefore fulfil tbe following conditions:? They must have been enlisted men of tbe army disabled In service, but tbe degree of their present disability must not be such as to impair their efficiency in the charge of oemeterlea Thry|must be of steady oo!)gr, and correct habita, have a i air degree of Intelligence and education, and must be able to write legibly. All applications must be addressed to the Adjutant General of tbe army, and be accompanied by testimonials of responsible persona la support of the abova requirements. They must be la the handwriting of the applicant, give his fall name, length of service, the company and regiment he last k served la. date and cause of his discharge, and hi* pre- j Mat place of residence. If Mill ia the un; the appli cant mum transmit but papers through his commanding officers, who will endorse them, with their opinion of his menu and Illness. All applicants, before | being appointed, will be examined by a board of officers, to be oonveaed In the department where they may be residlug or serving. The Adjutant General is directed to provide each superintendent with a warrant of his appointment. The Paymaster General is directed to make proper provision for their payment, and the Quartermaster General la Instructed to supply them with tools, rurniture and stationery. Superintend ents will be under the direct orders of the Quartermaster General, and are required to report to him, through the Adjutant General, on the last day of every month. The graves in the cemeteries are to be kept sodded by the superintendent^ the walks and avenues properly graded and graveled, atMl the grounds in complete order. A copy of section third of the act approved February 22, 1867, is to be kept ideated at the entrance and in other conspicuous places. The Charges Against the Collector ef New Orleans. The charges against W. ?? Kellogg, Collector of Cus toms for the port of New Oiieans, in reference to certain illegal practices? speculation In stocks and the appoint ment of rebels to office who would not take the oath have been stigmatized, in sworn affidavits by the leading citizens of New Orleans, as fa Is* ?Dd malicious in every particular. Uoveraor Flanders, of Louisiana. Opposed to Confiscation. Governor Flanders, In his speech to the Republican Convention in session at New Orleans, pronounced his unqualified condemnation of all the schemes of confisca tion which the Convention had recognized. Confiscation was but legalized robbery, and, besides its cruelty and oppression, was a msre Incentive and temptation to roobery and corruption on the part of the victors. He hoped the radical republicans would no longer stain their hands or discredit their - cause by any schemes of this nature. The Governor .further declared his un qualified opposition to and dissent from the resolution requiring the offices to be equally divided between the two coiors. This resolution was in direct opposition to one of the cardinal doctrlncs of the party, which repudi ated all distinctions founded on race and color, and made the tests of merit and capacity to depen4 ?n moral and Intellectual qualification. An arithmetic.*! division of offices? any agreement to adjust the bestowal of office with regard to color or race? was oppoaed to this doctrinal The most fit, capable and honest should be selected for the offices, of whatever color or race. Interesting Lelit; from Jud|ie Aboil on the Louisiana Troubles* The following letter of Judge Abell, on the Louisiana troubles, has been received in this city New Orleans, June 16, 1S67. To th* President or tuk United Htatrs, Major Gen eral U. S. Grant and Major General P. H. Sberi n*t : ? Nothing could astonish one more than to find the ex traordinary statements contained in a telegram from General Sheridan to General Grant, dated the 6th Inst. So far as It relates to me, nothing could be more at variance with the record and facts of the case. It seems to me that they are not only made In error, but aro most incredible. [Judge Abell repeats here the letter already published of General Sheridan to General Grant, of Jnne 6, giving his reasons for removing from office Monroe, Herron and Abell, and thus concludes]:? Respect for the officers of my eovernmom forbid my characterizing this telegram In the language that It certainly appears to deserve, or such as General Sheridan sees fit to use towards officers of rank and merit. I shall content myself with a candid and earnest refutation of the numerous groundless asser tions made in It In the third paragraph of the telegram General Sheri dan says:? "The court over which Judge Abell presided is the only criminal court in the city of New Orleans. For a period of at least nine months previous to the 80th of July he had beon educating a large portion of the community to the perpetration of this outrage, by almost promising them no prosecution in his court against the offenders In case such an event occurred." This statement is extraordlnsry, without foundation, and utterly impossible. I never thought of such a thing. It Is utterly impossible that I oould have known, nine months previous to the 30th of July, that such a meet ing would take place. The oonvenliontsU and their friends held nearly every office in the State, and appeared well pleased with the constitution. Its author. General Banks, pronounced It "the best ever made." President Llnooln said that "it was a most excellent constitution." The conventlonists continued to hold nearly all the offices nnder It until they were displaced by the newly elected democrats, which occurred only about three months before the riot How could I know, nine months before, thai these men would assemble to alter so good a constitution, unless the General ranks me with Ckalcas the wise, the Grecian priest and guide. That sacred seer, whose comprehensive view The past, th* present and the future knew. If the General be satisfied with his assertions I shall not complain. He proceeds? '-The records of the court will show that he fulfilled his promise, as not one of the guilty ones has been prosecuted." This assertion is plainly contradicted by the record referred to. It shows tbat tbe Grand Jury of the parish iodicted about twenty, fire of those whom they believed to be the guilty parties, and in doing so they concurred with General Sheridan, wbo telegraphed to the President that the meeting of the Convention was the Immediate cause of the hot; and the law only punishes those who are the immediate cause of broaches of the law. Gen. Sheridan proceeds?" Id reference to Andrew S. Herron, I considered it his duty to indict these men be fore the clminal court. This he failed to do, but went so far as to attempt to impose on the good sense of tho whole nation by Indicting tho victims of tho riot instead of the rioters? in otbor words, making the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent, lie wax, therefore*, an abettor and coadjutor with Judge Abel I in bringing on the massacre of tho 30th of July." Fortunately for the country, what amounts to unlawful assemblies, riots. Ac., are questions of law, and not moro opinion* of our gouemla. 1 did everything in my power by legal means to prevent tbat meeting, and I have always believod that, hod the military commanders of this department done hall as much as i did to prevent the meeting, there would have been no assembly, no riot, and conso q .ently no blood shed; and I so stated in a letter to General Slieri lan which I bad the honor of ad dressing him on tho 'J??th of August last. The conven lioniats claimed, up to the very day or their assembling, that they bad promise of mi iitsry assistance; and if their assertion has been denied 2 have never soon it. Finally , the General says:? "Mayor Monroe controlled tbe element engnged in this riot, and when backed by an Attorney General wbo would not prosecute the gailty, and a Judqe who advised the Grand Jury to flud the Innocent guilty and let the murderers go free, felt secure in engaging his pollco force in the riot and mAssacre. W ith these three men exercising a larg." Inf.uenoo on the wont elements in this city, giving to ihe?o elements an immunity for riot and bloodshed, tho General in Chief will see how Insecure I felt in letting thcin occupy their positions in the troubles which might occur in registration and voting in the reorgan ization " So far as I am concerned, the statement here made has no foundation In fart. It Is too unreasonable to gain credence among an intelligent people. My charge* to the Grand Jury are on file In tbe First District Court, and will show exactly the contrary. I am prepared to prove, by tho whole panel of the Grand Jury, most oi whom are men of equal Intelligence and worth with General Sheridan or myself, that 1 never gave them such advlco as here stated, t never spoko to them upon that or any other subject before them except through my cbargtw, which are on file and cannot be garbled. As to con trolling the elements of which General Sheridan steaks, with the exception of the occurrence of the 30th of July, no city in tbe Un'ted Stales had order better preserved. That that occurrence was forced on the people by Irre sponsible men admits of no doubt. I have euileavored to show to the Chief Executive officer of the United State*, to Generals Grant and Sberi dan, that tbe telegram of tbe Slit Inst. Irom General Sheridan to General Grant i* unsustalned by facts and unjust In it* application. I respectfully ask tbat It be overruled a* insufficient, and that myself and the officers of the Slate of Louisiana and Corporation ol New Or leans be restored to the functions ol their offices until superseded by officers elected under a new constitution, as intended by Congress, as clearly appears by the sixtn section of the act of March last, which declares "that until tbe people or flie said rebel State* shall be by law admitted to representation in the Congreas of the United States any civil government which may exist therein shall be deemed provisional ouiy, and In all cc spec la subject to the paramount authority o f the United .-tales at any time to abolish, modifv, control or supersede the same," k<\ If the foresight of Congress to tbe preservation of .State governments until new constitutions are formed, a* contained ;n the sixth section, ne disregarded, and five independent gov ernmejts be err nod in their stead, with fully organized armies, ana an auxiliury bureau, and one million aud a hall of offi- ent registered mm, with powertul alli?s in the Xorth 1 venture to pr?dict that tho legislature and Executive would be overshadowed, through the light of history I >p ak lu sorrow and apprehension of my unhappy country, aud not through prejudice towards OneraJ Sheridan, as migbt be supposed from the t*nor of hi* telegram. ?Iy duly to myself a* a citizen, to repel a libel or correct an error committed by a gjvornuienl official, and to demand at the hand of my govcrnm-qt redres* for injuries done me by one ot tnem, is tny apology (or addressing those In whom the government has iuirusted tbe duly to protect tbe Citizen and main tain the honor of the government.
