WlTe.PuIling for Stan1On-Gen,

10 Howard Will Not Resign.
NEW YORK, Aug. PA Herald's special
says Messrs. Seward. Weed and Raymond
are making desperate efforts to retain Mr..
Stanton in the Cabinet.
The same special says the President has
intimated to Gen. Howard, Chief of the
Freedmen's Bureau, that his resignation
would be acceptable; but General II. de-
clines to resign, and the ge eral impress
sion Is that he will be summarily elected
Boston COrbitt yesterday received $l;6S4
for his share In the capture of Booth.
An order has been issued suspending the
issue of rations except to the sick in regu-
larly organized hospitals, and to the Or
phan associations for refugees and freed
men, already existing after October first.
Expenses of the Indian Commission
WAsHINGToM, Aug. A.-Last year $4,000
were set apart to pay the expenses of the
Commission sent to hold conferences and
negotiate with the Indian tribes west of the
Arkansas. The Commission was absent
two months and had interviews with the
representatives of $500 Indians. 1t was
composed of Commissioner of the Indian
Bureau Cooley, Superintendent Sells, Gen.
Harney, Col. Parker, Thomas Wester and
| Charles i. Mix, the last being chief clerk
of the Indian Bureau. The accounts have
been settled, from which it appears that all
the expenses, including presents to the In
dians, amounted to only about $4,000, an
extraordinary low figure, considering the
circumstances connected with the import
ant mission.
| The Paris Exposition.
WASHINGTON, Aug. A.-Much misun-
| derstanding about admissions to the Paris
| Exposition seems to exist among the au-
thorities of several States. Positively no
articles will be entered or received at the
exhibition except those for which applca-
tions shall have been duly filed with
and accepted by the general agent at New
York, j. G. Derby, Triggs' building, No.
40, Park Row. All applications, therefore,
should be promptly forwarded to him, as
he is required to have the descriptive cata-
logue ready by the 18th OF next month.
Although the present list of appli-
cations promises an excellent exhibition
in several groups, it is deficient in few
important particulars, such as rich furnish
iDgs, upholstery and decorative work, crys-
tails and rich potteries, wall papers, cutlery,
bronze, and cotton products, wool and its
products, fleeces of wool, shawls of wool,
hosiery, &c.; plans and models of rural
buildings, fertilzing substances apparatus
and instruments for hunting, fishing and
for collecting natural products, cereals,
wines and iermented drinks. Congress has
provided free transportation TO Paris for
goods and showcases in which to exhibit
goodsat the Exposition, as well as compe-
tent officers and guards to take care of them
Important 10 Those Claiming
BOun1ies. ..
Judging by the great number of claims
that are daily received at the office of the
Paymaster General, those who believed
themselves to be entitled to the bounty al
lowance under act of July 2Sth, 1866, enter
tain the impression that much will be gained
by securing the entrance of their claims to
file in the Office at the earliest possible day
This is an error. The wise and the prudent
among the claimants will defer remitting
their claims and papers to the authorities
here until they learn the nature and
requirements of the regulations which are
to govern the payments OF these claims,
These regulations may materially affect the
character and forms of application, in
which case the claims received will most
probably be the first settled, while those
already on file need to be returned for nee
essary changes. Nothing is gained to the
claimants; but on the contrary much time
may be lost and the examination, ETC., upon
claims may be greatly hindered by over
haste in submitting their claims. ~
