WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. 1873.
There is no political news OF consequence To-
day.
You viii have seen the opinions upon the SUE
iecr of Warehousing System, called out oy
circular letter from The Treasury Department as'
dressed TO the Collectors OF the Customs IN various
por,s-whch are appended 20 the letter OF the
Secretary on the state of the finances. regret thas
statement of its substance prepared some time
40 for the Tribune was laid aside by accident.
You have the whole matter, however, before you
lone before this, and can make better statement
of lis contents than thu. which had prepared.
observe that, with but one or exceptions, those
o-;.;ons are favorable to the adoption of the sys-
,er, though the reasons given for that conclusion
are sometimes most singularly variant, and even
il onpo,ition to each other. presume that bill
will be reported to the House before long, but Its
aaopiion is b. no means certain though efforts are
making in its behalf, particularly by persons IRON
New-York, and others.
II there was any sort of use in doing 1t, wocio
give YOU an abstract of the further answers WHICH
have been made by various Judges aud District
Attornes of the Uoed States to the questions pro-
pounded them by The Secretary of State In regard
to the operation &c. Of the Bankrup, law. But
i, can give no satisfaction now that the laws IN
fair way of being repealed, to know that the very
strongest expressions of opinion in favor OF the law
are made by Judge Story, whose opinion IS
jurist or as citizen merely, are entitled 10 high
regard The Judge of the District OF Con-
necticut also gave the strongest testimony In It's
favor. The Judge of the East District of PENN
syyania also gives testimony TO its salu,ary opera
ton. The Judge of the District Of Ohio and the
District Attorney of that State the District Attor-
ney of Michigan, ell express their convictions OF
the beneficial tendency of the law. While on the
other hand those who object to place their cbec
tons upoa the ground that some features of the
act have not operated we'll. This is certainly not
good reason for abelishing the whole act thus
proposed.
presume that the Committee on the Judiciary
in the Senate will report amendments to the law,
but it is the general opinion that neither that course
or any thing else that can be done by its friends
will save it. We shat soon be able 10 determine
that question.
| see that the Journal of Commerce and other
papers have stated that Com. Jones has been re-
called from the Pacific How they became pos
sessed Of their information it is difficult to say but
you will see that it was yesterday stated in the
House by Mr. Wise that the Commodore had not
been recalled. have the same information from
other sources, and am satisfied that such order
has been given.
A great crowd of people of oil sorts and descrip-
tons, Including many members OF Congress, col
octed this afternoon in ffont of the pnr'ico OF the
patent-OAice to hear discourse from Mr. Miller,
of Millennium celebrity, who had been announced
by handbilIs to preach at that place to-day. The
crowd was immense, amounting to many thousands.
A railing was extended across the lower flight Of
the lofty steps of the portico and Police officers
stationed to preserve order and to keep the crowd
oT the steps. After much waiting and some f CHIT
ing between the officers and the sovereigns, who
wished to be admitted to the upper flight Of steps
among the members of Congress and other digni
,sries who were assembled there in privileged and
exclusive digaity, it was announced by clergyman
from the portico that I" Mr. Miller ras nOtin
torn, and that there no reason to expect
aim" and The Rev. speaker proposed to the "large
and most intelligent assembasc,f as he facetious-
" termed IT, that the mob should be turned into a
temperance meeting, and that the Hon. Mr.
Briggs be called out address them. But the
highly intelligent crowd expressed great unw-
lingness take up with Mr.. b. or any thing short
Of Miller himself and thereupon tore down the
railing and showed their supremacy by taking pos
session of the Portico. proper Sunday work.
Yours, MANHATTAN.
