Thin afternoon,at half-post four o'clock, ttio annual regatta of the Kchuylklll Navy comes oir on the river at Falrmount. From tlie "Turtle Muck" tho bathlnfr. point of yearn ago a smooth-faced, slippery atone rlHliiR a few feet from the northern bank of tho rtver.jHBt at the first curve above thn dam the boats will start away, and thence stretch over a course or three miles or more. The make-boat, round wti'cn the raclnR barges turn, will be anchored cloae by tlm Columbia bridge. The following boats are entered tor ttio contest to-day, the llrst of tho regatta: FltlST CLASS. Bachelor, six oars, Jlachelnr 'Club. Nautilus four oars, Quaker City Club. rniKi) class. Minnehaha, six oars, Malta Club. Falcon, six oars, Pennsylvania Club. Mrangcr, fouroarH, Pennsylvania Hub. lone, MX oarH, Crescent Club. not'iii.R s'fi.i.s. Lurllne, of Malta Club. Sylph, of Crescent Club. That they will all, with one exception, participate, and thus insure nn exciting and Interesting nice, or rather sert.s of races, the public may feel certain. The exception referred to is the liaclielor, the sud den Indisposition of two of tier crew compelling her withdrawal from to-day's mutest, at least. This un fortunate circumstance will Interfere with the "tlrst--1iish'' race. The men composing the crews of the everal boats have I n in training for some time, furrowing tins bright, clear waters of the river from the "Hock'' to the "h alls,'' and are in most excellent condition, sun-browned and hardened, with the muscles of arm and back Inured to tliat"severe exer cise which rowing gives. It would be difficult to predict the result of the race. None of the crews yield aught to others, all are confident of w inning, imd In such a friendly encounter pity 'tis that all cannot be victors. In the month of October, isM. the Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia, an association of its kind unrivalled ill this country, was organized by the various boat luhs of the citv. The boats of the navy are classified, as follows: First class, skeleton outriggers; second class, out rigger barges; third class, barges. The ilrsl regatta took place in June, lsSSt; the second in June, isGu; the distance rowed over in each case being one and a half miles and return. During the war but little boating was done by the navv, and it was not until the aistof October, lstis, that the custom of holding annual regattas was re vived. Since that time they have been celebrated uniformly in the spring ami fall, the various clubs, the numbers and efficiency of which have gathered strength in the meantime, making them almost a holiday for the city. The clubs composing the navy are as follows: Jtachclors', I'niversitv, I ndlne, Quaker City, Penn Bvlvanla, Malta, Philadelphia, Washington, Crescent, Atlantic, besides several independent organizations. The navy headquarters are on the banks of the river, lietwcen the creek separating new and old Fair mount I'ark and Turtle Rock. The boats are of the lest materials, stvle, and construction models in every respect. The Schuylkill river course, the one to be pulled over tills afternoon, is unsurpassed for rowing, and is withal rendered attractive by tho beautiful and picturesque scenery that surrounds It, it contiguity to our large and growing l'ark, and the lake-like calmness and transparency of its waters. Many of the club houses are prettily fashioned, and add to rather than detract from the beauty or the Park. So far as the clubs comprising the navy ure con cerned, the following will serve the purposes of a rief history of their org.ini.ati.m and progress: The Bachelor Marge Club was organized on the Fourth of Julv, 1S.V.. It has a membership of 5t, most of whom are active. Tlieyare the owners of three barges: Linda, six-oars, smooth gunwale. Ixitus, four-oars, outrigger. Machelor, six-oiirs, shell. Also, the Gazelle, double shells, and two single Hhells. Its house occupies a conspicuous place In the Park. It is built of saudstone, and cost liruo. It is two Btories high, and is of the liothic style of architecture. Tin Linda is the oldest barge on the Schuylkill, and is the one in which the llachelors made their trip to New York on the lfith of May, lsr.9. Tho distance, one hundred and forty miles, by river and canal, was made in twenty-eight hours' rowing time, including detentions at canal locks amounting to four hours. The I'niversitv Marge Club was founded In iw4 by the Freshmen Class of that year of tins University of Pennsylvania. It is the owner of the Lucifer, six-oared outrigger, Old Hesperus, four-oared shell, New Hesperus, four-oared shell. The club musters 4S members. It has a first-class boat-house (tho Philadelphia Skating Club house), handsomely lltted up, and an ornament to the Park. Their first boat, the Hesperus, was lost in an effort to rescue the crew of a sail-boat driven on the dam at Falrmount by high water. Her place was Oiled by the Lucifer, rated as one of the fastest boats in the navy, The Lucifer carried the champion nag of the navy for several years. The Undine Marge Club was founded in Mar, 158. The members originally were nearly all of thirty years or upwards. InlsGl they removed to their present quarters, the Philadelphia Skating Club House. Tae boats be longing to the club are the old Atalanta and new Atalanta, both slx-oared outriggers; Undine, four oars, smooth gunwale; Fawn, doub'e scull; Crab, single bcuII; and Spider, skeleton. The club has SU active, 5 honorary, and 2ft contributing members. The Quaker City Marge Club was instituted Octo ber !20, lKftS, growing out of the Camilla Moat Club. The barge owned bv the latter organization was purchased by the Quaker City, and the, name was changed to the Cvgnet. The ouaker Clv originally occupied a one-story brick boat-house, and when that building was or dered to be tekeii down by the city, they purchased half of the Pacllic Club house, one of those pretty buildings on the banks of the river at Fairmouut j'arK. The barges now owned by the club are the Cvgnet. four-oaicd outrigger. Nettle, four-oared smooth gunwale. Nautilus, four-oared shell. Mertha, double soulL And a single shell. Thcv Iihvh twenty-seven members. The Pennsylvania Marge Club was organized in 1&G1, and has now sixteen members, aud is the owner or the Fa'.eon, six-oared gunwale. Stranger, four-oared gunwale. Gem, double scull shell. Ami fnnr uinrrlo wtiellN. The first boat owned by the club was the star, six- oared. At that time the Pennsylvania was caueu. ine Atlantic Marge Club. The Star was lifty-one feet in lenirtti. the largest bar ire ever unon the Schuylkill. The club Is now engaged In erecting a handsome iKiRt-house a short distance below the one occupied by them. An addition was made a few days ago to the men bership by the merging of the Atlantic emu. The Malta Harm club was organized in January, l&fiO, by some members of tho Minnehaha Lodge of the Sous of Malta. They have a membership of nine teen, ana are the owners oi me Minnehaha, slx-oared gunwale. Hiawatha, six-oared outrigger, l.iirline. double-scull. Their tirst boat, the Minnehaha, was launched In June, 1800. The club met with Beveral accidents which had a demoralizing tendency. In 1SC3 new life was infused Into the club, and their floating boat-house, which had been moored in the Delaware at Washington street wharf, was removed to the Schuylkill, near the Falrmount dam. In February they secured a new house and nurehased the Intrepid. In 18G6 they dUpoBcd of the Intrepid aud secured tho Uia- The Philadelphia Marge Club was organized In IRC'J, under the title of the Panola Marge Club. In the following year they bought the six-oared barge Iris of the Bachelors', and in lstU they purchased the Faugh-a-Miillagh, slx-oared, of the National Club; urnl i.n the 21st of October of that year the Faugh-a- liuihurli won the second-class chiunpiou flag in the mutual regatta, in June, lsilft, the name of the club was changed to the Philadelphia.

Curtln, ex-Governor of the Com monwealth, and recently commissioned by tho president as Minister to the Court of St. Petersburg, was given a public reception at Independence Hall. As soon as Mr. Curtln filtered the historical room, his Honor Mayor Fox mldresi-ed him, In behalf of the municipal authorities of the city, as follows: The 4ddrrsH of Welcome. I speak the sentiments of all the member of this municipal government, when I say that It gives us unallojed pleasure, Governor Curtln, to be atTorded this opportunity publicly to testify our respect and esteem to you, sir. who lias so ably administered the allairs of our state as Us Kxeciitive, who h:is so earnestly devoted yourself to the alleviation of the snilerings ol trie gallant soldiers who gave them selves to their country In tho late terrible con test lor the supremacy of the Constitution and laws, and to you who now go abroad as the distin guished representative of our country to a distant government. 1 ou leave us, sir, appreciated by your fellow-cltl- zens as a fuilhtul servant, and by many of them as a warm personal friend.

On the conclusion of Mayor Fox's remarks. Mr. Curtln responded as follows: Governor I'liriln's Ursponne. About to leave the country, I feel deeply the honor conferred upon me by the city authorities In tender ing to me the use of this sacred room to meet such of my friends and fellow-citizens who desire to call and say farewell. 1 owe many obligation!! to the City Councils for such a distinguished privilege; and to yon, sir, as the Chief Magistrate of this great citv. i oner neartieit tiianKs ror tlie complimentary and kind manner in which you convey to me the reso lutions of (he Councils, and for the personal and olll- cial welcome you glvo me to this place. feeling a lust pride as a Pennsylvania!! in the beauty and the prosperity of this our commercial emporium knowing as I do the fidelity and patriotic devotion of Its people to the Government in its day of deep distress and anguish I would not hae the instincts of a common humanity if mv heart did not well up its gratitude to you and to them for the many evidences or altection I am receiving on the eve of my departure. In this sacred hall, dedi cated to Liberty this Mecca of American freemen I pledge myself to maintain with all the gifts it has pleased providence to endow me with, the relations of friendship which have ever existed between our country and the great Government to which I am accredited; aud this is a lifting pin-c and this a proper occasion to declare to you, sir, to the co-ordi nate authorities of the city, and to the people, that I will try to uphold and maintain the Interests and the honor of my country. The ltecepllon. Long prior to the hour appointed for the reception the presence of a squad of police otllcers nt the main entrance of Indepenpence Hall indicated to the passers-by that something of more than ordinary in terest was about transpiring. Shortly the members oi city councils could oe seen wend tic- the r wav to their Chambers, and the Liberty Cornet Hand sta tioned itself on the pavement and rendered seve ral airs, ah this had the effect of drawing thither a large crowd, so that when his Ex cellency arrived, hundreds of the citizens were there to greet mm. as t tie carriage which bore him drew up at the curb, a double row of police olllcers was lormen, wnicn sircicneo away to the door, and formed an avenue through which the Governor reached the Hall. While he walked up the steps, the band, which was now stationed on the stairway facing the entrance, pealed forth "Hail to the Chief.-' At the same momtut the members of Councils. headed by the Mavor.advanced to meet him. then fol lowed him into the Hall. Here the address of welcome and the reply were at once pronounced, after which the citizens came up In single file, Bhook him by the nano, men reureo over a tiigtit or steps wh en had been erected at one of the rear windows of the hall. The band in the meanwhile played, tho crowds cheered, and the Governor was kept busy returning his thanks to the hundreds who pressed forward to greet nun. Beiore tne reception concluded some eight hun rlrcd soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic ar rived at tne 1 1 tin to Did tarewell to tne w ar Governor of Pennsylvania.

At half-past T o'clock the doors of the building are to be thrown open for the admission or ladles to the tialcontes. It will un questionably be a very brilliant allair. The prepara tions nave ueen most extensive anil complete, and the entertainment will be one never surpassed In tins ciiv lor elegance and eciar. The Interior of the Academy will be gorgeously decorated. A large and trained orchestra tinder Mark Hasslerwill be present. Many notables, not only of the city, but of the country at large, will also be there to give evidence by their presence of their appreciation of the worth aud patriotism of the dis tinguished guest. A number of war-Governors have signified their intention of coming, and many celebretles, both in the army and the navv. A despatch has been re ceived from Cyrus V.

Considerable excitement was occasioned about a month since by the announcement of the detention of the Florida at Chester, Pa.

For a mouth past she has been lying at the works of Keauey, Archambault & Co., under the surveillance of the revenue cutter Yt illiam H. Seward, the commander of which had orders to detain her until further orders. Her owners have been able to satisfy the Government that her destination was not Cuba, but Moslon, and they have entered Into bonds for double her value that such is her course. Yesterday the orders for her release were received, and at noon she steamed down the river.

The gold market disa nointed most of the operators. The rate of exchange and the unsettled aspect of European allairs, toge ther with rumors of the recognition of Cuba, had created the impression that gold would sell to-day at 140, or above. Under this influence there were sales before the board opened at lb9V trom which point the market gradually fell off to rw-. This turn is attributable to the fact of most ol the speculators being long of gold, and when a turn conies to sell, offerings are so large that the market must give way. Present quotation, i:ix.

Horrible Scenes nnd Occurrence In I lie 1 1 II iioih suite I'eiiiieniiiiry. From the Juliet S , June 8. About ten ilavs ago a quarrel took place between two convicts while on their way to the quarries, with a gang from the prison under charge of guards, which resulted in a desperate light with knives, jtotn the combatants were wounded, and ono of them so severe v that he died on the following day. Hut the bloodiest atltay yet occurred on last Thurs day. As the convicts were sitting down 10 dinner a nu'arrel occurred between two large and powerful men. A few words passed, when both parties drew forth large sharp-pointed knives, and a most terrific and deadly struggle ensued. They fought the entire length of one of tlie long tables, stubbing and striking a ternate v. and were not separated until iney nai bemin to fail from the loss of blood. The floor and tables wera bespattered With blood, and tilt scene was one long to bo remembered. They were both taken to the hospital, and one or them ex Hired In live minutes. His body exhibited no less t hun half-a-dozen fatal stabs. The other was dan gerouslv wounded, but survives yet. An inquest was held over tho bodv of the dead man by Corone Iteese. but the iurv could not agree upon a verdict, Such Is the condition of iill'alrs existing at present in the Illinois State Penitentiary. There is no sort of discipline. The convicts are allowed free license to do as they please. They knock down tlie guards at nleiisure. and commit murder among themselves, And what is unheard of In prison discipline, more than one-half of the convicts are armed with knives and murderous weaiions. This being the case, an open revolt and tho murder of scores of Innocent men is momentarily expected. When we remember that there are nearly twelve hundred desperate men confined In tho penitentiary, for crimes of various grades, and that mora than one-half of them are armed with deadly weapons, we cannot help trem bling at thecouHcqueuceBwhieUwoy be jnoiuentttrliy ttfpecivU, Li:AL iNTi:i.i.ia:nci:.

It would perhaps have been better for tho defen ant, for tho surely, and for tho Commonweallh, if the ami tint nsd porn doiiPlod, for then, probably, no bail would nave oeen entered. v e think, however, aa there la nn allegation against this bail eicept that of culpable lachea, an amercement of tt'lcfO will be a aufficient punishment for him and a suffi cient example to others. We have therefore concluded to remit the forfeiture in the case in which the Commonwealth haa suffered no pre judice by the delay, to roduce the other forfeitures so that tney snail uigetner amount to tne sum nt :ilKl, and to stay tho executions until the first Monday nf July next. the levies to remain, and bv that dav. if all thn Common wealth's witnessea are not brought in, the Sheriff mnat pmceea witnout tnrtner order. 1 lus opinion and tne papers haxe been submitted to all of mv brethren, and I am anthorir.ed to say tliat the order about to be nisde is tne unanimous judgment ot the Court.

A Practical Movement at Last Michigan J.ndics .Hake a Knld. a7bnrrf(fe Mich.) Cor. Detroit Advertiner. A secret society of about 100, comprising most of the leading respectable women of the village, has been silently formed during the past spring, without the knowledge or tne other Bex, ror tne purpose or taking measures to resist the evil Influence of llqnor and gambling saloons. There are ten places here where Intoxicating drinks are sold, Including two hotels antl two drug Btores. The temperance lec tures of "tho Buckeye liroad Axe" had produoed much excitement here, and the close of one of these lectures on Wednesday evening at 1 o'clock fur nished the occasion for the grand denouement. From seventy to eighty of these ladles, without the know ledge of any ont of the society, left the lecture nail, and silently marched to and entered one of the bil liard saloons. One of the two ladies appointed to speak quietly addressed the keeper, saying that they had come in neitaii or themselves ana oiner indies to bear their testimony against the business of the sa loon as injurious to themselves ami their families, leading their husbands, fathers, and sons Into Idle and dissipated hablta nnd ruin, and respectfully ask ing, for their sakes and tho Bake of society, that, he desist from the business and follow some other cabling. The phalanx then left and pro ceeded in a body to tne other ounara sa loon and to one of the hotels, uttering t.imllar remonstrances and requests as before, and then adjourned until 6 o'clock I'. M. on Thurs day, when they formed In a body, and proceeded to the other liquor-selling establishments, giving utter ance therein to the same requests. Tills was the grand army movement. On Vrlday and Saturday we hear of occasional skirmishes made by companies and platoons, giving occasional calls. The exact pro gramme to be pursued by this Booiety is unknown to the other sex, only as it deveiopes in open acts. The effect unon saloon anil grocery men was various. The ladles exhibiting no violence, most of the keep ers were gentlemanly In their answers and bearing. Pome stood nale and stolid: some acknowledged their occupation shameful and wished themselves out of it; some admitted the (Time against their race, but had felt obliged to go into it to save their busi ness, as others hail done so; some promised to leave It nu u r.,.,1,1.1 witli nlhnr unfilnrvlou fin.1 1U (III O VIII II an IIH IV,WIIIM, TM IHI VHI., Un,Unlt.nl, replies.

Kufl'criiiSM of the People How they were Cheated of their Freedom. The following extracts are taken from an inter esting letter written to lr. S. (J. Howe by Ellas Htekoull, and published in the Boston Cretan: "Athknh, Greece, January 24. As Boon as I landed In Crete (June 20, lsoij), I heard the Hat of European diplomacy was that Crete should be annexed to Greece, but that in order to reach this result, it was held to be necessarv, as a preliminary condition, that the island should submit to Turkish rule. The sur render of the Insurgents (they said) would pave the way for the fulfilment of the desires of civilization. This rumor was craftily disseminated over the Island by the agents of some of the Great l'owers, and thereby produced results which the government of the Sultan could never have gained by cruelty and force. "Leaving Ajia Roumeli (where I had landed and remained four days). 1 penetrated to the mountains of Volakia, through by way of the steep precipices of Ajia Roumeli and St. Maria. On my way I saw hundreds of the Insurgents, with their wives and children, and saved them from nakedness and starvation by the contributions of the American people. "I shall never forget the terrible scenes I have witnessed Bince I landed on the struggling Island. I Baw matrons and maidens peer out like phantoms from the caves in which they dwelt, and then hastily glide in again, in order to conceal their nakedness from mv sight. "1 heard the groans of children and old men, who were miserably perishing from famine. 'How can I describe the ferocities which the hordes of tlie Ottoman empire have committed In the village of Patsanou 1 Corpses were draggod from their graven and mutilated, or cut into pieces, and strewed through the streets. How can I report to von in detail the horrid crimes committed by them against the women the maidens ami the tender youth of both sexes? How can 1 lind language to lament the Innumerable victims of hunger and cold, whom I saw everywhere In the Island, and especially in the inounlalns'of the Apocoronas. Hetyninos, My lopotanios, where masses of bones, are heaped up as trophies of the suffering Cretan people's perseve rance against their enemies? "Such being the suffering of the Cretan people, I think it Is needless to recount how much good was done by the contributions of the Great Hepubllo of which you are a citizen.

Washinoton, June 12. Senator Ross called upon General bherman at the War Department to-day, and requested that a sufficient number of troops be Bent to Kansas to quell the disturbances which have broken out there relative to land titles, etc. uoss says that the State authorities are unable to put down the ringleaders of the disturbances, and repre sents that if prompt action is not taken the conse quences will be quite serious. Cuba and Spain. The Secretary of State gave an Interview to a representative of the Cuban insurgents, relative to the proposition submitted a few days ago as to whether, since the abdication of Dnlce, the Spanish Government retained any regular authority in Cuba. It is understood that Mr. Fish decides that Spain has control over Cuba until the latter actually achieves independence by driving the Spanish forces from theisland. The mere change of the Captain-General does not, he thinks, constitute the abdication of the power aud authority of Spain over the Island.

He Make n Denial He In not alter n 3ov- crnmenl Oftlee He hit t a "Few ICm-mim." A Washington despatch of June 10 stated that Governor Geary was to succeed Mr. Borlo within, thirty days as Secretary of the Navy. Tho State Guard of yesterday, a journal edited by Wlen Forney, State Librarian, appointed by Geary, publishes a statement which may be regarded as an authorita tive denial coming from the Governor himself. Front it we take the following: We are authori.ed to pronounce this report en tirely unfounded. President Grant has not tendered Governor Geary any position whatever, nor has tho Governor asked for any position in the gift of the President It is true that these two gentlemen hail a private interview in Washington on Wednesday, but it related entirely to private matters; the con versation was of a friendly nature and of no possible) interest to the public. Governor Geary has long been a warm friend of ' General Grant, and his feeling of friendship for the President has been fully reciprocated. He has not asked for any appointment, and is not now an appli cant for nny oltlce at Washington. His position as a candidate for the Gubernatorial renominatlon In Pennsylvania is well known to the people, and in this position alone does he stand. Ho is not lying around loose, in waiting for any opportunity that may turn up. His delegates are elected with the full understanding that ho will go before tho people for re-election to the chair which ho now nils, and they intend to nominate him In the convention In Phila delphia on the 23d of this month. The report that he is an applicant for or has been tendered a position in the Cabinet is a falsehood cut out of the whole cloth, and Industriously circulated a few days before the State Convention, 'for the pur pose of hoodwinking tlie people and confusing the delegates Instructed for him. But tt will fall utterly in accomplishing the purpose for which it was originated. A sutllclent number of delegates have already been instructed for (ieary to secure his nomination. He has very few enemies; but these few, actuated by the certainty or his nomination, and straightened in their means ami resources for carrying on any further op position, have now resorted to tbls miserable expe dient of defeating the will of the people by attempt ing to confuse the councils of his friends. Stand firm, and beware of sensational reports expressly calcu lated to Injure his well-deserved prospects. John W. Geary is a candidate for but one position, and failing In that of which there is no possible likeli hood he will be found In the ranks laboring as zealously for the election of the fortunate nominee as any man in the Beptibllcan party.
