The anticipations expressed by your corres pondent, Home dajs since, that tbe President would order the reopening of the leglslratlou and the postponement ol the elections, are about to bo substantially realized, 11 the Btate wonts which are UHimlly accepted as being In spired by the President himself ure to be relied upon. He will evade the Congressional pro hibition against his Interference, by couching tils order In the shape of a suggestion or reooin ineudatlon, which will bo put in ottlclal form. This, he hopes, will accomplish with the dis trict commanders what a positive official order, Involving a direct conflict, would not. An Kxe outive suggestion, with a little of the odor of Commondor-ln-Onlef about 1L he hopes will In duce the district commanders to do what he de Blres.on tbelrown responsibility. It is altogether likely that it will fail of effect, as the law re- ?ulres registration to close by the 1st of October. I Is already completed in Loulsiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. In Touislana, the revi sion required to be made by the boards fourteen days betore the election Is also finished. The poll-books are being prepared and everything requisite for the election, now only twelve days hence, Is nearly ready. General Hancock Is not likely to reach New Orleans before October 1, and, unless peremptorily suspended by an arbi trary and illegal order, Sheridan's machinery will accomplish the election and assemble the Constitutional Convention without any further assistance. The statement that the purposes of the President, as above indicated, meet with the concurrence of General Grant, is an unmi tigated falsehood. The matter has not been submitted to him, and his well-known position warrants the statement thntsucb.au Interfe rence would not be approved. THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY M'CULLOCH. Collector Smythe and ex-Colleotor Barney, of New York, who have been here for several duys, have, In their interviews with the Presi dent, urged the retention of Secretary McUul loch In his present position, and both have received tbe assurance from the President that be bad no intention of displacing him. . .

Wab Dkpahtmknt, Bureau of Refugee, feeetllen amd abandoned i.an-oh, washington, fceptember 18, 1867. Circular letter. It Is very de sirable) for you to reduce the number of your agents, otlicers, and clerks to tbe lowest practicable limit.

Confer with the District Commanders lu person or by letter, and ascertain whether be can detail otlicers or suit able enlisted men to replace the volunteer olilceis still retained In service, and report the names of the latter lor muster out, Reduce yonr hospitals as fust as it can be dons, substituting dispensaries, with a view to reduciug the number ot agents and otlicers employed in the medical work. Uanv nf the olticera and agents have been employed In tbe work of registratiou under tbe direction of the District Commander. It Is believed that several of these 0(11 Cers and agents can be dispensed with as soon as that work shall be completed. I trust to you for a careful and conscientious examination of your Hold, and the recommendation lor discharge of all employes not absolutely necena-y tor tbe proper execution of the law under wbicti you are working. Please acknow ledge ibe receipt of this communication. Very truly yours, O. O. HOWARD, Major-General Commanding. As supplemental to the foregoing, and In order to aid its elllcient enforcement, General Grant has Issued the following order: Headquarters of the Army,-Adjutant-Gkne-raj. a Officii. District Commanders will o-operute with the Commissioners of tbe Preedineu's Bureau in reducing the number of employes and volunteers still retaiued in sorvice, by giving details of ollioers and enlisted men of tbe army to take tbeir pluces, where it can be done without manifest detriment to the service.

General Griiiln was only taken ill on Wednesday, and yesterday morn ing his symptoms were reported more favor able; but the disease took a bad turn last night, and his relatives were advised this morning that.be would probably not survive the day. Oeneral Grant hns assigned Brevet Major Joseph J. Reynolds, now on the Rio Grande, to the command of the District of Texas, thus made vacant, and lirevet Mujor-Oeneral Joseph A. Mower, who is at New Orleans, to the tem porary command of the Department of the Gulf. General Frank Wheaton, who Is sick with the fever at New Orleans, Is reported better to-day. THE ANTIETAM DEDICATION. The ceremonies at the dedication of the An- tletam National Cemetery promise to be largely attended, owing to the excellent railway ar rangements, whereby persons going from Haiti" more or Washington can return the same day. The first train leaves Washington at 6 A. M., and will convey the Presldent.Secretary Heward, and several members of the diplomatic corps. General Grant will be unable to attend, owing to the pressure of official duties, GENERA I.S HANCOCK AND (SHERIDAN. General Hancock has not yet arrived here, though daily expected.

Voyage of trie Miniature Schooner from Baltimore Heavy Weather and Har rowing Scenes on Board Extreme Suf ferings and Death Last Pays of the Captain, Mate, Man, and Boy State mint of Armstrong, the Survivor. fYom the London Times, SijUeniber 2. Tbe Mary Clake, from Antigua, has arrived In the river, wi h a se.man uuiutd Andrew Armstroug on board tbe only survivor of a crew of lour, of a schooner-rigged boat called tbe John T. Kurd, which was lost while on a voyage to Paris via Havre. Tbe John T. Ford was about two aud a balf tons, and of less size thun the Ited, White and I'.lne, but , unlike her, t-lie was nut constructed on the lifeboat principle, being'mi re ot a whale-boat. Her dimensions were nineteen leet length of keel, twenty-two leet six Inches over all, seven feet bourn two leet six Inches depth of bold. IS lie was the Joint property ot the matter, Gould, Armstrong, tbe survivor, and two or three others, urnl the citizens of Kaltluiore took great interest in tbe suecess of the expedition lo Paris. The John T. Ford left Baltimore on the 22d of June, but getting short of water, one of ber tanks being damaged, she put Into Halifax on the 8th of July, aud, one of her bauds leaving Armstrong, wbo Is a fisherman, joined her, and on tbe morning ot the IGth ot July she left Halifax, accumpunled by several boats, which escorted her out to sea. Meeting with strong contrary winds she had to put back, aud an chored at Devil's Island till 1 P. M. or the lath, when she had to shift to get better shelter in tbe eastern )assage of Halifax. Hhe remained there until tue ollowlng Tuesday, the . 22d, and at 4 A. M, pro ceeded on the voyage, with the wind at southwest. On the 2iith they s ghtd a French schooner at anchor on the banks of Newloundl.ind.aud went along side about 7 1. M., aud left at 4 A. M. on the uext day. They then experienced very to vy weather, the wind being from tbe north. The boat labored and shipped so much water that tbe ciesr were uualilelo keep their clothes dry, or have any rest, lndeod, thtre was only room for two below, and that In rather a cramped position, so that two of the hands were always on deck. On the 28th of July they spoke a ship belonging to Yarmouth, Nova Scot I u. The wind was then strong at southwest, with a heavy Bea running. On tbe 2'Jlu, tbe boat being under a foresail, shipped a heavy sea and capsized. Hhe righted iu about a minute; but the water damaged the bread and wetted the stores and clothes. Armstrong states that their condition was then getting very mlierable. On the 2d of August, weather moderate and wind north, at one o'clock in the afternoon spoke a barque belonging to shields, from Montreal for Cork, aud asked lor a little bread. They could not supply uy; but gave them a bottle of rum and some tobacco. On tbe 6th. at four o'clock in the afternoon, the wind was strong at Bouthwest, aud there was a heavy sea, which struck tbe boat, and she turnedover again, Bhe righted almost Immediately; but unfortunately tbey lost all their stock of oil, and the principal part of their supply of water, which added much to their distress, sullen tig, as they were, severely from cramp aud pains in their legs. On ibe 8th tbey spoke a ship belonging to Liverpool, bound to Quebec, and obtained a sin.ply of bread and a little oil and tobacco, shortly afterwards tbey ex hausted tbeir small stock of oil and bad no light for tbe compass or tbe means to waim any food. Tney they cut uu the boards that secured tbe ballast and all the Internal httiugs of the boat to burn, and pro cures light On the 17th of August they spoke a baraun bound to Portsmouth. Irom Quebec, and she furnished them with a little bread aud a lew candles. Taeu tbey en countered very heavy weather, wind from southwest to east-northwest, with a cross sea. On Monday, the 19tb, wind south-southwest, they bore up lor Cork, Cupe Clear, by taeir reckoning, being northeast, about tnlrty miles distant. At half past ten P. M. a heavy Bea struck the boat, and turned her over, and the ballast boards having beeu burned in oroer to obtain a lli;ht, tbe ballust Bhified, and all ou board were tbrown Into tbe Pea. Tbe boat kept turning right over as the tour hands struguled to get ou her, until tne lad (Murphy) got entangled between tne rigging and the mnst, when she was so steadied that the other three of the crew managed to keep a hold of her. The craft continued iu this position, two of the bauds were on her mast, and two on the sldeot the keel. Tbey remained In tills positlou the whole of that night, freimeutly being witBhed off and on by the heavy seas, and al half-past 11 A.M. on the following day they observed a brig bearing down towards them. Armstrong states that they were all cheered with the hopes of speedy relief, but instead of rendering them aid she came close to them, hoisted Dutch colors, aud stood away without offering them the least assistance. About an hour after this tbe mate. John Shanny, atked Armstrong to pray for him. They all prayed together for some time, but were often Interrupted bv the heavy seas washing one or the other of them off the bottom of the boat,. , , The ears of the mate werethen noticed to swell very much and his eyes protruded; he shook bands with his companions and kissed bis wire's likeness, which he bad about him. lie then became greatly excited, and bit the captain's thigh. The captain pushed hlra gently on one side, sayli g, "For God's sake, John, don't bite me." Tbe mate then tell back off the boat iuto the water and sunk immediately. Abontseven o'clock P. M. thelad, Edward Murphy, asked Armstrong to make him In some way fast, aud be was secured by Ins belt. He was not in that posi tion long before the sea swept him away, and be neimhed. and afterwards the cuotaiu and the fur- vlvor, Armstrong, were washed off. Tbe captain cried out "God help my poor wife and family," aud then disappeared. After great exertion Armstrong succeeded in re training the boat, but be was olten swept off by tbe seas which dashed over the craft, the succeeding wave frequently washing him on aguiu. He continued clinging to the bottom ol the boat until 4 o'clock lu tbe morning of the aid, when the ship Aerolite, cap- laiu Aiieyne, or Liverpool, nove in sigm, anu Beeing the piece of rugged canvas on tbe end of an oar which he held up, bore down to his aid aud picked him up. When taken on board he was very much exhausted, and almost insensible from the want oi food and ex posure. He was also much Injured about tbe legs and other parts of his body througa being dashed so often against the boat. As may be imagined, his suffering were most severe during the lung period be was drifted about on tbe bottom of the craft, lie suffered much from Imbibing salt water. Hekept chewing a Elece oi an old tobacco pouch, which, be says, at times rought some moisture to his parched throat. He was fallen In with In latitude 49 deg. Smln. north, longitude 6 deg. 53 mlu. west. On board the Aerolite he was treated with every kindness, but tor which he believes be mnst have died. On tbe following day, the 24tb, he was trans ferred la tbe schooner Mary lilake, Captain Brown, of lirixham, from Antigua, onboard which lie was also treated with every attention. On being landed lu the West India Dock tbe American Consul pro vided the necessary accommodation for him at the Bailors' Home in Well street, and lu a lew days he will be forwarded to his native place In America, FORGERY ON A NEW YORK BANK.

Ueveral days passed before the lergery was discovered. Ou tbe llh of August Mr. Vanderbilt, In examining his checks drawn ou tbe bank, discovered it. aud the excitement that followed at the bank may be better Imagined than described. Theall'alr was Immediately laid before buperluiendent Kennedy, wbo placed the work-up of the case In the bands of Iietectlve George KUler, who al once, on receiving his lustruotlous, nut himself together to do whatever be could towards obtaining a clue to the whereabouts or tbe bold forger.

He is described as a stout built, portly looking fellow, wlih a slight polish ol the gentleman about blm, but with a strong look of the bully In his rugged countenance. 1 befriends of the forger were not lnle so soon as tbe arrest of their chum was bruited about, and a few bours after his apprehension they sued out a habens corpus In bis favor, and made efforts to have it served en the officers.

TRA GED Y AT CLE V EL AND, 0H1 0. A Man Kills his Wife with an Axe Arrest of the Murderer Whisky Causes the Crime. ioi the Cleveland Leader, Hth. We are this mornino; called upon to record one of the most frightful tragedies which lias ever been enacted In our city. A man named Kranz Floren, living at No. L'8 Minnesota streot, murdered hisvlfo with an axe, last evening, about 9 o'clock. The mind recoils with horror from the Appalling details, and we would fain draw a veil over the fearful scene of such Inhu man brutality. The victim of the tragedy a middle-aged woman named Etlza Floren was sitting at home, engaged in sewing upon a garment for ber husband the tuousier wbo was plotting against ber life. He bad been lying, during the evening, upon a bed made up on the floor, In tbe ball adjoining the sitting-room. At the time mentioned above, he arose, proourod an axe, and entered wbere his wife was seated, her back being towards tbe door. As the door opened she turned partly round, and he Imme diately struck her two blows, one upon each side of the bead, laying open the skull. She staggered forward a few steps, tbe blood stream ing Irom ber frightful wounds, and fell sense less upon the door. To make sure of his deadly work, the Incarnate fiend then drew a sharp knife, or razor, and Inflicted two terrible gashes across her throat. He then dashed out of tno bouse, leaped over the fence, and endeavored to make h)B escape. There are three children In the family, the oldest being a girl, nine or ten years of age. They werelu the room at tbe time of the com mission of tbe deed, and their screams aroused tbe neighbors, who rushed to the scene. Those who were first to arrive saw the murderer run ning in tbe direction of the Jake, and the alarm was immediately given. While a portion re mained to attend to the bleeding victim, and do. if possible, something for her relief (for she still showed signs of life), messengers were des patched tor surgical aid, and others, Joined by two or three policemen, started In pursuit of the murderer. He was arrested lu less than an hour, taken to the Station House, and safely lodged In one of the cells. The room which was the scene of the murder presented a horrible appearance one that would appal the stoutest heart. The woman lay upon the lloor In a pool of blood, uncon scious but faintly breathing. Near her lay the bloody axe the instrument of death. Two or three surgeons soon arrived and made an ex amination of the wounds. The skull was found to nave been penetrated ou both sides of tbe head, the gashes being several Inches lu length. The cuts upon the throat were also three or four inches long, but not deep tbe jugular vein not being sovered. She was still barely alive at the latest accounts, but there was no possible chance for ber recovery, and ber death was momentarily expected. The cause of the diabolical deed is not fully known. Floren, who is a plasterer by trade, bus been for some time pnst much addicted to intemperance. Although be is said to be a quiet, inoffensive man when sober, when pos sessed by the accursed demon of drink he was harsh and abusive to his wife and children. Borne time ago his wife entered a complaint, and had blm arrested for drunkenness and abusing bis family. This incensed him against her, and seemed to engender a feeling of hatred which at length culminated in this terrible crime, t ot three or four days past ne uad been constantly under the influence of liquor, on account of which his relations with his family hnd been more than usually unpleasaut, and maddened by whisky, bis brain "set on fire of bell." be determined to put an end to ber life. He is a man of medium height, about thirty eight years of age. Ills countenance does not reflect the flerne Easslons which raged in his heart, and from is appearance a person would not Imagine him to be capable of such damning Infamy. His examination will probably take place before Judge Abbey, In the Follce Court room, on Monday. CHINA AND JArAN.

The Call for a General Election. BKN1TO JOAKICK, CON STITriTIONAI. FRIWIIEKNT OT THK UNHID STAT IS OF MEXICO. To My Fellow-cltlsens: convening tbe people to exerctee their sovereignty In the election ot publlo olliners lo whom tbey may entrust their destinies, I bave fulfilled my dulv. And at Ibe same lime I bave discharged another duty, Inspired by my conscience and my oonvimions, In tbe proposal I make to ibe people for the relorm of certain point In tbe Constl tutlin. In order tbat they may resolve the question by tbeir free and sovereign will. My administration never bad and never shall bave any other rule of conduct than faltnltil respect lor tbe national will. All Ibe reforms made during my administration bave been 10 develop and improve the principles of tbe Corstliutlon ol tbe republic. Those proposed la tbe teller of convncntlon bave and can have no other aim. The points there discussed are tbe swntimeuts of my piotound convictions. After mature melllallou on the past, with the aid of the experience of some years in government, and with tbe examples before me of our own history and that of other republics, wnlcb, under tbeir wise Inslltui ions, enjoy a perma nent guarantee or liberty, a pledge of peace, and a source ol greatness and ot prosperity, I have ventured to propose them to the people. Severilieless, there are those who pretend to cen sure the conductor tbe Government; and in order thai uiy silence may not be misinterpreted, I have con ceived It my duly to address my lellow-clllzens. Now that I am once mere In the capital, I see, as I bave before seen on similar occasions, tbat there are those wbo aKsume to change the conduct and the policy ol tbe Government; but It Is my duty to stand liriu y by my resolution to do that which Is right without being swayed by those wbo represent only the small minority, and not Ibe Daiioiial will of tbe people. It Is evident that I hose who make these pre ensluns are tbe lew; It Is evident that tbey do not represent tbe opinion ol a numerous party, even in the capital. I do not, therefore, deem It necessary to audre-s myself to tiie inhabitants ot this city, whose loyally Is already manifested In these facts. I ad'lress myself to the Inhabitants of tbe blates. wbere, by not being present lo see wbat passes, public opinion may po-sioly be misled. I ad dress myseirio tbe States In order that tbey may be able to Judge correctlyof the facts, availing them selves of tbe lessons tbey have learned from the ex perience of other times. It lias been pretended that my opinions differ fiom those ot tbe members of my Cabinet. Tbe older mem. hers considered, whe.i leaving Bnn LuIhj for the capital, tbat their duty to tbe country had been fulfilled, and desired to separate themselves from the Government. Now, again, tbey bave offer Rl their resigna tions, and those members ot tbe Cabinet lately appointed bave followed their example tbeir object baa been to leave me In full liberty oi action, But I have not deemed it my duty to accepc their resignations, because there has been no discord in our opinions, and because I have the fullest confi dence In their rectitude and tbeir loyalty. My sole aspiration Is faithfully to serve the interests of the people, and honestly to respect tbe national will. To defend and sustain our InNtltiillons has ever been the application of the power vested In my hands. TbAtI serve my country laltblully aud tbat I love liberty is demonstrated br my public career. Mexicans It is your right to decide freely upon the reforms I have proposed lo you, audit will soon be In your power to do so, when you elect the public oillcers wbo shall direct your destinies. I shall now simply report that it has been my sole object to propose to you tbat which I deem beneliclal for your luiereiw, and these Interests are security for peace lo tbe future, and consolidation of our Institutions. Happy, Indeed, shall I be If, before my deatb. I am witness to tbeir eniire consolidation.
