Ratification of the Treaty by Great
Britain Assured.
New YORK, June II.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says;
A telegram received here to-day, from
London, by high official, states that the
Anglo.American treaty, with Her Male.s-
tvs ratification, will be sent into PaTlla-
ment on Tuesday. 1t Is understood in
London that Disracli, after II full confer
ence with Sir Stafford Norlhcote, has de-
termined, as the leader OF tho opposition,
to permit the treaty to be received with
out attempting TO press criticisms on 1t to
point of serious debate. This infOrma-
ton is regarded as entirely trustworthy
and as settling the question, If there ever
was any question as TO the reception OF
the treaty in Great Britain.
THE PRESIDENT TO VISIT THE PACIFIC.
All the necessary arrangements have
now heen made for the President TO visit
The PHCillC coast. He will leave Long
Branch about the middle OF August, nc.
companied by Senator Nye, of Nevada,
and ex-senator Williams, OF Oregon. He
will visit Salt Lake City, where great
preparations have been made to receive
him by Brigham Young. From thence
ho will 90 to Nevada and San Francisco.
At the latter place he will take ship and
proceed to Portland, Oregon. Tho trip
may possibly be extended to the Sandwich
Islands.
PAYMAsTERs' SETTLEMENTS,
The Second Controller has decided
700 cases relating to the settlement of
paymastcrs' accounts. From this there
can be no appeal.
THE POST OFFICE LuNATIC.
The First Controller Is busily engaged
in an examination of tho accounts Of +.
A. Mccartney; late discussing officer Of
the Post Office Department, McCartney's
friends claim that the Government will
not lose anything through him, and pro
fess to doubt il any dishonest motive can
be proved against him. Mccartney in
hGrited u few years ago some thousands
of dollars, which was long involved in
litigations When he finally obtained II
about 1865, hC invested largely In oil
stock, under the direction OF spiritual
mediums, and lost all his money. His
wife, who Is his cousin also, inherited
money from the same source, but 1t WIS
not obtained until later, and was saved
from the general ruin. MCCartney's late
speculati0ns have not, therefore, probably
been made with government money, and
his friends hope that the investigation
now making will show merely disordered
accounts resulting from disordered mind
and the government and personal property
not having been kept separate. It's still
asserted that whatever is found due to
the Government and ia not covered by
McCartney's own property, will be paid
by his sureties.
The weekly conferences Of the law of.
ticers OF the department OF Justice have
been suspended during the absence oCAt
torney General Akerman.
THE NEW LOAN A DRAG.
The report tolcgraphed from this city
last week that notwithstanding the fact
that numerous officers OF the Treasury
Department and others have been sent to
Europe on business connected with the
new loan, and great efforts had been
made to sell the new bonds In the cont.
mental market, not dollars worth Of
them have yet been sold, would naturally
lead many 10 suppose TINT Mr.. Boutwell,
has met with more difficulty than he an.
tiCipatGd and that II the public debt is
funded at all 1t must be done at home.
The fact is that some Of the new bonds
have already been sold abroad, but the
amount has been so small that no general
report OF it has been made. The SeCre-
tary, however, Is not at oil discouraged,
and still expects to dispose Of large pOr-
tiOn OF tho new loan in European mar
kots. lie would not be surprised ifthe
proposed new French loan Of ono hun.
dred million pounds sterling, 10 ray the
war indemnity, would sell more readily
than ours, for II is historic OF financial
transactions that, to certain extent, the
greater the risk involved the greater the
eagerness with which spectators invest.
The French Minister Of Finance must
sell his loan at great discount, and
promise high rate Of interest.
More patents have been issued during
the four months OF the present year than
ever before during an equal time.
GOOD CROPS IN VIRGINIA. .... .
Tho crops throughout Virginia prom.
ise an abundant yield this year. Favor.
able advices have also been received from
North Carolina and Tennessee, and large
crops of cereals are expected in those
sections of the South.
A COLoRED EXCITEMENT IN THE
SCHOOLS.
Special to tho Evening Post.
Some excitement has been created In
one OF tho school districts Of this territory,
by the appointment of colored trustee
to superintend white schools. There Is
not single colored school in this par.
ticular district, and therefore the appoint.
ment of q COlored man (the son OF Fred,
DOuglass,) to succeed white trustee, Is
not well received, and has resulted in the
white teachers resigning their positions.
