The Bnyonne Yacht Club.

Dt sprate seci,sdt Is the motto OF this prosperous
and really enterprsing club. The annual regatta
was to have taken place to-day; but entertaining
higher views than a mere exclusive exhibition, the
Bayonne yachtmen-gallant and dashing fellows
every One-have come to the wise conclusion to
give grand union regatta on the Sd of August
next-partly in recognition of the great courtesy
evidenced by the Brooklyn Club on the occasion of
their recent display, but more particularly to
promote the great yachting interest Of the country.
The Bavodne Yacht Club will undoubtedly elicit
the highest encomlums for this spirited and enthu-
siasic feeling The very fact OF young incorporated
association, like the Bayoune Club giving such I'M
mstakable evidence of Its earnestness Will be
hailed with delight and Will not only gain for 1t the
raise 1t high In the ranks of aquatic fame. The
management OF the club appears to be in fair hands,
Mr. Van Wrinkle is the Commodore, Mr.. ii. d. Van
Nostrand, Vice Commodore; Mr.. r. G. Harrison,
Rear Commodore, and Mr.. J. o. Seymour,
President Major Harrison is attending to all
the preliminary arrangements, while Mr.. J.
K. Mallory, one of the most esteemed men,
bers OF the club, is actively engaged in
preparing for the event. The members Of the club
have nnally decided that the regatta shall take
place on the 81 OF August. The course will be from
OF the club house to q stakeboat anchored off Fort
Lafayette, 10 SAT- it twice to windward and back,
number OF entries is anticipated. Nearly thousand
dollars have been appropriated as prizes. Alto
gether, brilliant display Is anticipated, and there
Is out little doubt that the spirited members OF the
Bayonne Club Will attain brilliant triumph for
with less they will be hardly satisfied.

THE POST OFFICE.

The statement published a few days ago that
orders had been sent here from Washington to
commence operations towards the building OF the
new Post once is an error. Postmaster Jones' who
would naturally be one Of the first to hear OF such
a matter received no ntimaton OF it up to the
time OF his departure day before yesterday for
Washington Perhaps he may return from the
capital with all the necessary instructions and II ac-
companed by the supervising architect OF the Trea-
sury, Mr.. Mullett, we may feel assured the welcome

however, there is no longer any doubt about the

TIRE SUB.TREASURY.

There was good deal Of excitement in the neigh.
borhood Of the sub-freasury yesterday forenoon in
consequence Of the anticipated purchase Of eight
nine millions Of government bonds. Combinations
OF course were formed and the price Of bond paper
kept up to the point Of tension, but fear crept
among the bulls that the Treasury would buy no
bonds II it learned anything Of this behavior, so
there was o gradual slackening on, but the Sub
Treasury had already accomplished Its pur-
pose and the excitement died out General

YACHTING NOTES.
Cruise OF the New York Yacht Club.

Cruise OF the New York Yacht Club.
The annual cruise of the New York Yacht Club,
IL is almost needless to observe Is The most inte-
resting and exciting event OF the yachting In
this country. The squadron Will OF course receive
an enthusiastic welcome at every hating place. but
after all, the cruise viii be characterized by the
same old routine-a doubtful brush from Glen Cove,
o prize, q ball, but totally devoid Of that
grand excitement incidental to q good yacht
race. 1t has hitherto been satisfactorily
demonstrated that when the squadron Of the
New York Yacht Club starts forth upon its joyous
cruise probably half dozen yachts-not foremost
ones, OF course-nvariably complain of the CON-
paratve unevenness OF the general regulations In
fact the general tenor Of their discomfort arises from
the fact that all the yachts are not afforded far
opportunity to test their abilities. suggestion was
recently made which, on due consideration. would
doubtless meet the appreciation OF the members Of
the New York Yacht Cub. There is a fair pros
pect OF fully thirty yachts being represented
during the approaching cruise. Now, instead
of the programme heretofore carried out where,
admittedly all yachts mad not the opportunity
for display would it not advisable to adopt some
system which would unquesuonably afford general
satisfaction Supposlng the yachts proceeded to
City Island and that a race was arranged tnerefrOm
to New London, a distance OF 100 miles, each yacht
to carry sail only in proportion to her displacement
For instance yacht dispaces 2, 900 square feet of
water, she would be allowed to carry, say, 600
square feet OF canvas. There would also be a Just
allowance OF time given based on the speed or the
time in which the race Is made. II the race were
made In ten hours there would be two minutes for
each extra foot or length OF deck, and 1t would thus
be graduated down to fifteen hours in which al
lowance OF time would De given. Such course
would give the models equal advantages in all yachts
and the Uime allowed for length and Of keel. Under
such circumstances 1t would not be Inappropriate If
the prizes were follows:-A marble shaft or monu-
ment to be placed in the Park the shaft to bear four
models, two being for the first two winning sloOps
and two for the first two winning schOoners Thus
would the Park be beautified the yachts immortal
lied and the best models In American waters forever
preserved. The cost OF this monument might be paid
for as follOws:-Ihe first yacht in to pay, say, fifty
dollars the second 500; third, $3.50, and on, each
succeeding yacht Increasing fifty dollars her pre-
ceding competitor. Thus the whole fleet would be
stimulated TO make grand struggle for the mastery
and every yacht IN the squadron would De afforded
q fair chance Tor display.

ALLEGED OUTRAGE on A CUBAN SLAVE GIRL.

day, on warrant issued on Friday last, charged by
Helena DomngueZ, a former slave and low one of
her attendants with beating and kicking her. at the
Clarendon Hotel, where Madame De Gala aud
family were then sOJournlng. The offence charged
in the complaint is serious one the assaulted girl
being far advanced IN pregnancy. On account of
the lateness OF the hour ut which the parties ap-
peared Justice Dodge adjourned the hearing of the
case until Saturday morning. The foregoing is a
simple statement OF the taken from the AFFIDAVIT;
but extraordinary developments are expected at the
examination on Saturday.

BEN BUTLER VS.. Mrs. STOWE.

! BEN BUTLER VS.. MRS. STOWE.
"A case OF scan. mag or Grim.
con. is to Ben. Butler a delicious
! tlt-bit, a savOry morsel. His ex-
perience and practice at the bar
have so sharpened and whetted
his legal appetite for this sort of
mental pabulum, that he has not
been able to withhold his opinion
in the Byron calumny, and has
rushed into print in four columns
OF a Boston paper, in which he
cross-eXamines Mrs. Stowe and
riddles her story with his rules
OF evidence so completely as not
to leave that elderly female any
thing to stand upon. He care
fully and ably reviews the char
acterof Byron and all the incidents
of his life, and proves conclusively
the falseness and improbability
OF her ingenious canard. 1t has
been the habit of Daniel to come
to Judgment, but now comes Ben
jamin, and, wonder of wonders,
in the cause of truth and morali-
ty! The report that Butler was
seen at a camp-meeting lately,
must be true, for his action in this
matter is proof positive that he
has experienced a change of heart.
After all, it can now be said with
some show of probability, that

CLEBURNE's SwORD.-The At
lanta Constitution has recently
seen the sword which was pre-
sented to Gen. Cleburne by his
old Arkansas regiment, and which
he wore at the time of his death
at Franklin. It is in the custody
of Miss Gay, of Decatur, Ga, the
lady who has done so much for
the graves Of the Confederate
dead in her own State and in
Tennessee. The sword is thus
described by the Constitution ::
''It is a very handsome weapon,
with a finely-tempered, flashing
blade, in a handsomely embossed
and carved scabbard, and strange
ly enough it bears, AS the name
and place of it's makers, III. Mar
shall & Co., of Atlanta, Ga. The
scabbard has at the top, on one
side, a carved medallion of Mr..
Davis in profile, and Oh the other
side the harp and shamrock of
Ireland twined together. On the
first ring below the shamrock,
midway down the scabbard, are
the words:
Maj. Gen. P. r. Cleburne,
Presented by his old Regiment,
10Th Arkansas
t'Below is a carved Major Gen

three stars, the middle one the
largest, and underneath the let

tated but historic words-Confed-

The RIGHT VIEW OF IT.-The

The RIGHT VIEW OF IT.-The
Richmond Wing takes General O..
o. Howard to task for saying, in
d recent speech, that slavery had
dwarfed the intellect of the Afri-
can race, and we think our con-
temporary has most decidedly got
the better of the Christian soldier
on that point when it says:
"This implies that the intellect
of the negroes has been dwarfed
since their arrival in this country.
This is something new to us. The
common impression has been
that ON their advent here they
were unmitigated barbarians,
many of them cannibals, all of
them q very low and unintellect-
ual type of humanity. All the
humane ideas and civilized hab-
it's they now possess were acquir-
ed here while in state Of slavery,
and from their white masters.-
This. we believe, is the fact, new

testible.''
