DOMESTIC.
GarGeld's Vacation.
NEW York, June 24th.-The TrsJunes
Long Branch correspondent says: 1t any one
supposes that this is focus of political news,
he is greatly mistaken. Certain newspapers
have been trying to make it so appear
but their few facts have been diluted with
vast quantity of imagination and invention.
The President does not talk politics nor see
people who come to make him talk. He re-
ceives very few callers, and the news of his
disposition to shut himself up to rest with his
family keeps away visitors. He does not
even get earlier information of the ballots at
Albany than he finds in the New York even
ing papers. He seems to delight in the OPP
portunity-the first in a year-to smoke,
drive. walk and chat with his family and
few friends-in word. to be his own master
for few days. His health is excellent, and
the long anxiety about his wife being re-
moved, he looks more cheerful than he has
done for many weeks.
Last night, at the Veterans banquet, the
name of President Garfield was heartily re-
ceived, and, in his absence, Secretary Win
dom made a cordial response to toast in his
honor, eulogizing his traits of character, abil-
ity and integrity.
Grants Position-The Garfield Letter.
NEW York, June 24sh.-The Tribune's
Long Branch correspondent says: Grant has
not yet called upon the President. A good
deal of curiosity is felt to see whether he will
allow his disapproval of the appointment of
a man as Collector of New York, who did not
vote for him at Chicago, to keep him from
crossing the street and calling upon the Presi-
dent. Thus far he has made no sign of per-
forming the social duty which he owes to his
own position as well as to that of the Presi-
dent. Some personal friends of his say, how
ever, that he will cali before the President
takes his departure. AS to the correspond
ence which passed between Grant and Gar
field after Robertson's nomination it may be
said on good authority that if Grant wishes
to publish it there will be no objection on the
other side. The Presidents letter, which is
said to have been very quiet and dignifed in
tone, elected no reply from Grant. 1t seemed
to have closed etectually the argument
People who have seen both letters say their
publication would produce a fresh political
sensation. Grants letter is known to be
quite similar to the one he wrote at the same
time to Senator Jones, and the Presidents
reply is a calm assertion of his position with
regard to the Robertson appointment accom-
panied with expression of personal regard
for Grant, and an appreciation of his services
in the campaign, and OF surprise that he
should feel aggrieved because of the appoint
ment of single man in New York, who did
not belong to the faction which supported
him for the nomination last year. There is a
rumor that Grant is.writing a rel binder. but if
he is, he has not spoken of it to those close to
him in social and political relations
California Internal Revenue Affairs.
WASHINGTON, June 24th.-Cemmissione
Raum says the internal revenue offices for
the California District will be transferred to
Chancellor Harrison July 1st. The defalca-
ton of Deputy Collector Kelly will be about
$1,000 He has abscended Owing to old
age and the failing health of Collector Highly,
the Department has been endeavoring for
two years past to have him removed. His
subordinates have been taking advantage of
his infirm condition and misappropriated the
Government funds. Some of these officers
have been removed and the losses made
good The defalcation of Hebbard was dis
covered two months ago, and he is under in
dictment for fraudulent transactions brought
TO light by Internal Revenue Agent Somer-

The New York "TIrres" and Auditor
Rrench.i
NEW York. June 24sh.-The Times on
Auditor French, says: Nothing is said
officially as yet about the results of his visit
to the Pacific coast but while in San Fran
cisco he saw fit to make report to the Presi-
dent Of the Central Pacific Railroad, in which
he gsve assurance that he should deem it his
duty at an early day to communicate with the
Attorney General of the United States, with
a view to discontinuance of the proceedings
instituted against that company in the Cir
cult Court of the United States for the South
ern District OF New York. This was a very ex-
traordinary proceeding, and it is reported that
the Government is by no means satisfied with
French's course, a., whatever his conclusions
might be, and whatever occasion he may
have found for changing his mind. he should
have reported the results of his investigation
to the Government first, and refrained from
giving assurance to corporation against
which the Government had occasion to bring
a suit for the enforcement of its rights"
Revolutionary Rosa.
NEW York, June 24th The Tribune
prints an interview with O'Donovan Rosa,
who says: I'VE are carrying on this move
ment against England not as American
citizens, but as Irishmen. l have a docu-
ment, on which there is q seal bigger than
your head, which debars me from living in
the United Kingdom Of Great Britain. Do
you suppose that anything will deter me in
exile from doing sll 1 can to secure for Ire
land her rights? England cannot be moved
by argument or entresty."
"What, then" asked the reporter, must
be done?"
Force must be used. We are not strong
enough to open war, and SO we must strike
her unawares, until she realizes it is her in
terest TO be just. You know how have had
but little faith in the Land League move

in fact, it is less. Within week there has

on our operations viii be more active than
they have been hitherto, and it will be seen
that instead Of being inundated by British
buster we are being encouraged to greater
exertions. Recently we have derived valu-

this country who have not before helped us.
They have lost faith in Ireland's relief being
