Expected Resignation of Min ister Jay. MORE INDIAN TROUBLES. Severe Comments by General Sherman on the Indian Bureau. Washington, June 25, 1873. The Preildeai'a Return. No intimations or telegrams have been received as to the time or ttie President's return to Wash ington. Several of the departments to-day sent official documents to him at Long liranch. Reported Illness of President Grant's Father. It is stated by a relative of the President that Jesse Grant, his fattier, is dangerously ill at his residence in Covington, aud may die at any mo ment. The President has been telegraphed to come on without delay. Blore Indian Troubles? General Sherman on Indiisn 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 Klowas liuve gone to the west end of Wichita Mountains. Little Kobe and Young Whirl wind are still on or near the north fork of the Canadian, near Red llills. The Dog soldiers of the Cheyennes are still in Wichita, below the point 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 party or Comanches re turned from Texas with a considerable Herd of mules, the number of which 1 have not been able to ascertain. The Arapahoes are still quiet, nnd are camped 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 tne General of the Army and the Indian Bureau. The Cneyennes and Riowas are otf their reserva tions. , General Sheridan endorses the paper as follows :? Headquarters or the Army. Washington, June 14.? Respectfully submitted to the Secretary ol War. These are the Indiana to conciliate whom Satantaand Dig Tree ure to be turned loose. 1 have no more faltb in their sincerity than I have in the prairie wolves, and as 1 once risked my lite to test their sincerity 1 do not propose to again expose others to a like danger, and hope the In dian bureau will manage them without the aid of the army. The American Commission at the Vienna ' Exposition? Expected Retirement of Minister Ja jr. ' There Is nothing definite about the United States Chief Commissionershlp at Vienua. Mr. Schultz, after the suspension or 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 l. Ills executive ability has proved so satisfactory that our government has re quested htm 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 Ins retirement, Mr. Garrettson, as hereto fore intimated, will be his successor, that gentle man having be^n 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 has now nearly recovered from the effects or the late Irregularities, so far as contribu tions are concerned, though in other respects our conutry is not so fortunate. It would be no sur prise If, as stated, Minister Jay's official life should be terminated at the close of the Exposition. The fact Is known here that when he was appointed, about rour years ago. he said he desired to remain abroad only about hair that time. His retirement will be voluntary, without any intimation from the administration in that direction. Minister SeUenck's Emma Mine Come to Grief. In formation from one of the engineers employed to examine the famous Emma mine, with which Minister Schenck's name was at one time con nected, shows that the mine is a total lailure. The British stockholders paid one million sterling, and arc now efcht huudred and forty thousund pounds minus, aud 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, nlarmed at tho state ments made in the Hkrai.d in May last, or the purpose which our government had In establishing the trade dollar for use In the Oriental countries as an outlet tor our silver, immediately decreed that the new dies should be destroyed and the dies In use prior to November 6, 1807, should be re stored. It appears from a letter received here from the City of Mexico, from an Englishman inter ested in the coinage or Mexican silver, that while en rout# tor 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 or the new Mexican dollars. The report had been extensively circulated that the United States govern ment was aDont to Issue a trade dol lar, and the demand ror coinage that could be relied npon has poured Into the San Francisco Mint from China, while the bullion deposited by New York dealers to sunply the Eastern market indi cates how unpopular the new Mexican coinage has become, and how greedy the Chinese are to receive Dur trade dollar as a substitute. In official circles those tally informed say that the trouble with the new coinage of Mexico Is not in the dies but in the oneness and weight, as the new dollar does not come up to the standard. Whichever way, the Bbrai.d's exposition of the Intention of this government has alarmed the Mexican capitalists, who do not desire that the market for silver coin ihouid be closed against them. The Director of the Philadelphia Mint to-day telegraphed the Treasury Department that the ooinage of the new dollar would begin probably on the 6th of July, but cer tainly not later than the loth of July. The Situation in Louisiana. Senator West, of Louisiana, has written a letter on the political situation in that state, in which he ?y?:? The mture solvation of Louisiana, her emancipa tion from disorder, debt ami disgrace; the prog ress of her material Interests aud her restoration !<> all her former greatuess and still further ad vancement, rest with the adoption by her citizens ?f tbe principles or equal rights and justice to all, regardless of color ; in the laying aside or prejudice ?nd in the admission that all the vices do not per tain to one race, nor all the virtues to the other, tie opposes .the Beauregard movement because, tmong other reasons, it proposes tho creation or a Sew party, whereas the needed reforms may be iffecteU in tbe tuUAcatloa ol au who profess repub ttesa principle!, and can only be Jeopardize*! by detection among tkooe who entertain them. He 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 say that if there is to be a new election In that State tbey desire and prefer that It be exclusively under tbe control of the federal government, and assert tbat If Governor Kellogg and bis associates are allowed in any way to con trol or even to intermeddle with it the friends of McEnery aud opponents of Kellogg will have nothing to do with the election. Arrangements ftor the Payment of tbe Geneva Award. It has been ascertained in an offlcial quarter that some progress has already been made by the Brit ish government in the arrangements for paying tbe Geneva award, a part ol the means for doing so being already in this country in the form of flve-teuty bouds to be exchanged for gold on or after the 6th of September, the payment falling due on the 15th of th&t month. Important Ordcs- by the Commissioner of Pensions. The Commissioner of Pensions has promulgated the lollowlng new and Important order On and utter the 1st of July the consideration of all invalid increase cases will be suspended by tbe Pension Office until tbe biennial examination, which takes place on tire 4Mi of Septemier next. Medical ex aminations, however, will continue in such cases, so that no applicant may suffer loss as to the com mencement of the Increase by reason or the date or tbe medical examination. Meantime all origi nal coses upou tbe flies will be considered and dis posed or, so lar as the evidence will warrant. A New York H. C. Pays Conscience Money Into the Treasury. Clarkson N. Potter, representative from New York, who originally favored the salary grab, though in a modlfled form, has now turned a dis interested patriot. He has enrolled himself among the noble army or back-pay martyrs, and, through Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Smith, has cov ered the amount into the Treasury. The National Deaf Mute College Com mencement. The Commencement or the National Deaf Mute College took place this alternoon 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 dear and of course cannot hear hlB own words; but notwithstanding, through his own and the indefatigable exertions or the protes tors, he has learned to speak with almost perfect distinctness. The valedictory was delivered by Vallandlgliam Halloway, ol Indiana, who bad also learned to articulate and deliver orally that por tion of his oration addressed to persons in the audience who could bear. There were about fltty students in the college during the term juBt closed. Illness of the Chief Clerk of the State Department. Mr. Chew, the Chler Clerk or 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 tbe 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 ror services in the fiscal year un til additional measures arc obtained. In all proba bility a deficiency bill ror this purpose will be passed at the next session or Congress. Military Intelligence. The War Department is advised of the arrival at Kelion, on the Kansas 1'aclllc Railroad, of two companies (L and M) of the First cavalry, en route to the Departme nt of the Columbia. BACK PAY BUTLEK. Prospects of the Essex Statesman for the Massachusetts Governorship? The Temperance Men Think Him a Useful 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 of a rew 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 or Essex. The substance of an editorial in a Washington paper, in defence or the weak nesses or 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 General will receive the regular Gubernatorial nomination ot the Republican Convention. If he receives it there will be a bolt, and ll he fails to re ceive it there will be a bolt. So, taking it all In all, there are prospects of a very lively campaign. Nine Butler clubs in Boston, for instance, held meetings to-night and strengthened aud relnlorced their weak [.units and renewed their determina tion to carry Old Ben into the Gubernatorial chair. The .state Temperance Alliance, at a meeting this afternoon, also rendered a complimentary allusion to Mr. liutler, through its Chairman, to the effect that the State could be car ried for General Butler because he was a man 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 Rodney French, of New Bedioid, when he said that he would rather have a ' devil in hell wi:o would enforce the Liquor law than an angel ofllght who would <lo no wore than Washburn lias." The main necessity was to have a 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 a rew days. Within a brlet period also General Butler, It is understood, will s.iy something about the salary grab question and his connection with It. THE NATIONAL GAME. The Mutual Score? Another Victory.

The high mettled race horse from all sections of the country is wending his way at the present time to Long Hranch, 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 ou a race course in this country at one time. A crowd similar to those that were wont to meet at Kpsom 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 tho meeting. Four races are on the card for that day, the first being the Long Hranch grand national steeple chase, for all ages, the distance being about three miles. The second race will be a dash ol one inilo by all ages. The third race will be mile heats, and the fourth race, the great event of tho day, the Jersey Derby stakes, which closed with forty-nino nominations, comprising such wonderlul colts and Allies as Mr. McQrath'a bay colt Tom Howling, by Lexington, dam Lucy Fow ler; August Helmout's chestnut colt Count D'Orsay, by Kentucky, dam Lady Hlesslngton, and the same gentleman's Imported bay colt by Hread albane, dam Elleriulre; D. McDanlcl A Co.'s chest, nut colt Springbok, by Australian, dam Hester, tho winner of the ltclmont Stakes; Hunter A Travers' Imported black colt Strachtno, by Parme san, dam May Bell; W. Cottrell's bay fllly Sally Watson, by Daniel Hoone, dam Maggie U., by Hrown Dick; D. D. Wlther's Imported bay colt Stonehenge, by Ulalr Athol, damColmbra; besides othors that have not public record. Tho contest between Springbok and Tom Howling in this race is creat ing almost as much excitement as did that be tween Harry Hassett and Longfellow lor the Mon mouth Cup last year. Springbok, from his races at Jerome Park, is talked of as being a superior colt to Harry Hassett, and ho may be so for all we know ; but when lie meets Tom Howling the Kentuckians will be much mistaken If Tom Rowliug does not show Springbok the way up the homestretch at the finish about as easily as Longfellow did Harry Hassett. Hut it is not a certainty that either of them will win the stake. Mr. Helmout's pair are good ones. Count D'Orsay being beaten by Spring bok less than a length lor the Belmont Stakes, when the latter had the best purt of the track. And there will be strac:ilno, who Is improving every day, that will be round a verv dangerous colt at the etiil of a tulle and a half, to say nothing ol the otuer flyers that, have thus iar been kept in the dark and will make thoL (list, appearance al Monmouth Park on Independence Day.

Opening Day of the Spring Trot ting Meeting. Mark Taylor the Winner of the Members' Purse, Prince the 3 Minute Bace, Ed. White the 2:27 Pnrse and Spotts wood the Running Contest. The Spring trotting meeting of the Waverly Park Association opened auspiciously yesterday after noon. The comae Is situated quite delightfully* eleven miles from New York, ou the Pennsylvania Central Itallroad, and is surrounded with pleasant rising ground, on which are dense groves that : make a grand framework to a beautilul picture, I The attendance was of the most salisiactory char' | acter, the Btund at two o'clock being fllted with country beauties, whose fair faces, pink-tipped > cheeks and eager eyes grew enthusiastic at. tho , charming landscape and the animated scene i on the track. AH along tho hills scores of carnages were aliened, and on the tleld there were many bliarmiusf equipages, ! while wandering to and fro were hundreds of genuine sporting gentlemen and scores of rustics, I who imagine that the race (ruck is a place to make ; lools of themselves, and In this respect they shiue resplendently. This hull-mile truck Is peculiarly laid out, and might, with some little expense, be made of much better shape. It Is "up hill 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 tlie 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. C. Lit tell, J. Harvey Ilalsey ami John lirlsbln, gen tlemen fully competent for tho positions In which 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 glvlug 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 tho reporters' stand, which before the first heat ol the first race was over was crowded with men who had no more business there than they had up among the judges. It Is to be hoped that some of the "colonols," "majors" and "captains" that found the place such a delightful retreat may give the workinguion little more room to-day. There were no pools sold on the track and no spirituous Uquois disposed of within the enclosure. These innovations were by order of the Association. The sport, which, all In all, was quite satisfactory, will be found In detail beiow THE MEMBERS' PrRSE. First on the programme was a purse of $200 for horses owned by memliers of the Driving Club, mile heats, best three til live, to road wagons; on.y menuters of the Club allowed to drive. En tered for this were J. C. Vantieet's bay mare Cash, Otis Woodruff's sorrel mare Dolly White, K.Dun ham's sorrel gelding Brandy, 1J. P. Shaw's gray mare Lady Shaw and 10. A. Wilkinson's chestnut gelding Mark Taylor. In the little betting ob served Taylor was the ravorite. Alter much dif ficulty they were started lor the first heat, which wus won by Taylor amid considerable shouting Irom the admirers of his owner. Lady snaw won the second beat, when lior (riends vowed she could not losajlmt that they were some what mis taken was soon demonstrated, as Taylor won the third und fourth heats aud the race. 8UMMAKY.
