The President expects to have his bust
ness so far completed by tomorrow tina
he will be able to leave the capital in tn,
7:4O train for Long Branch, by way o
New York. Should anything occur to oc
casion further delay he will certainly b.

the sea side will consist of Mrs. Grant

Porter will accompany the President as
Secretary, and will establish himself at hi.
own cottage, now nearly completed and
located about five minutes walk beyond
that of the President. Generals Babcock
and Dent will remain at the Executive
Mansion during the summer.
General Dent, with his family, will no,
leave the city ut all. General Babcock,
subject to the Presidents orders at any
moment, will, in the course of few weeks
with his family, visit his father in Yer.
mont, and also pass few days at Sarato.
ga and West Point.
The ushers and house watch will guard
the Executive Mansion during the Presi-
dents absence.
The Presidents horses, in charge of the
colored groom Albert Hawkins, have left
here.
Five Of them have been taken from the
Presidents stables-Cincinnati and st.
Louis, the road span; Egypt and Nancy
for speed, and JEFF Davis for the saddle
Cincinnati is of Lexington stock, deep
bay, sixteen and a half hands high. Gin
cinnati was the Presidents war horse, and
carried him in nearly all of his great bat
ties. st. Louis is also deep bay, trif1e
over sixteen hands. Egypt, bay, stands
sixteen hands, and has trotted in 2.3S.-
Nancy is of Patchen stock, bay, fifteen
and half hands high, and has trottcd her
mile inside of 2:4O. JEFF Davis is black
PAGER, about fifteen hands, and has made
his mile inside of three minutes. He was
captured during the vicksburg campaign.
Four carriages were also sent with the hor-
ses-the family carriage, an English hunt
ing carriage, a two-seated phaeton, and a
one-seated buggy.
Yesterday the chief steward, Mehler,
left with the cook and laun6ress and will
at once set matters in order so that the
Presidents and Mrs. Grant upon their arri-
val will find everything ready to receive
them.
The President proposes not to return
here for several weeks, unless events in
Europe should necessitate his presence. In
such an event it would net be unlikely that
an extra session of Congress would also be
demanded. Should no exigency arise no
Cabinet meeting would be held for weeks
ut least.
The President will be in constant COM
munication with his Ministers, who will
be prepared to hasten to the national capt.
tai should he find occasion to call them to-
gether.
