The Presidents letter TO Collector Casey
requesting him to resign that office was dated
the 18th of May. Casey's resignation was
written the 18th inst. to take place on the APP
pointment of his successor 1t appears that
there is difficulty in securing one likely to be
accepted.

tons in the army of all officers mustered out

Excitement about the Supplemental
tff SD FtE Treaty. BIO @,'f.s
Secretary Fish having received dispatches
from London this afternoon drove to tile CAPT
tol in order to communicate their contents to
the President, who, in company with Senator
Carpenter, left the Executive Mansion at noon
for that locality. While the President and Sec
rotary Fish were together in the room set apart
for the President, Senators Cameron, Norton
Harlan and other members of the Committee
on Foreign Relations with additional Republ-
can Senators were seen going into and coming
out of the room. There is no doubt the con-
versation was on the subject of our present d.
plomatic business with Great Britain. Nothing
definite, however, could be ascertained concern
ing the character OF the dispatches, but there
was a report that the English ministry hesitate
to accept the additional article to the treaty as
modified by the Senate, the waving of claims
for indirect damages not being expressed with
sufficient distinctness, the United States merely
proposing new rule TO govern the action of
the tribunal of arbitration, having the effect to
exclude that class of cases. Whatever may be
the ultimate disposition of the additional arti-
Gle, it is certain that up to o'clock this after
noon there had been no definite respose from
the British government. Much interest on the
subject is expressed in executive, diplomatic
and other circles, and an unusually large num-
Der of kilograms have passed between the two
countries.
DisaGecfion of schurz.-
Contrary to the current report of Monday
last, Hon. Carl Schurz denies that he is going
to make speech for Greeley. 1t appears that
instead of assuring the Greeleyites, who impor-
tuned him for thot purpose that he would open
his mouth for them, he gave them an undecis-
i've answer, from which they manufactured a
Greeley story. 1t is said that Schurz is utterly
dissatisfied with the Cincinnati nomination.
The insight he has had into the Liberal move
ment during the last fortnight has not favora-
bly, impressed him. He does not like his asso-
ciates; he does not believe in shouting reform,
when reform is impossible at the hands of the
men who kidnapped the Cincinnati Convention.
The Savannah Morning News, Democratic,
upon which Greeley relied for support, has re-
pudiated him.
