From Washington.

New YORK, July 1j.- The Herald's
| Washington special has the following: Be-
| ing Cabinet day no other business of i'm
| portance,was transacted at the White House.
| The President is sufficiently recovered to
resume his usual powers of labor, and the
Cabinetmeeting was full and rather long
one. The delay in making out the appoint
ment OF Judge Marvin, as Provisional Gov
ernor OF Florida, and the publication of the
Presidential Proclamation in relation to
the matter, has been delayed by the impossi-
bility OF fixing the date of the secession of
Florida in December, 1860 Strangely
enough leading politicians differ nearly or
quite week.
Returns to the General Land Office from
st. Peters, Minnesota, for the month of
June, show that three hundred and forty
five thousand two hundred and forty-five
acres of Winnebago Indian lands. and six
hundred and titty-four acres of Sioux In
dian lands have been taken. The total
cash receipts for last month are stated to be
ten thousand and seventy-one dollars. By
the same exhibit 1t appears that six thous-
and six hundred and eighty-one acres have
been taken for actual settlement under the
homestead law, and twenty-ofe thousand
acres were filed under the pre-emption
