FROM HAVANA-THREE DAYS LATER.
-, By the fast sailing packet brig Hsyne, Captain
illams, we have received our regular files Of Ha-
vala papers 10 the 22d inst. inclusive. The papers
before us are barren Of any important news. The
only local item worth mentioning is AN awful de-
scripuon given by the Matanzas paper La Aurora,
Of a thunder storm which occurred on the 18th
during which three horses were struck by single
explosion OF The electric fluid The LAWYER Don
Jose Felipe Serpa, had nearly all his dress ripped
open by the fuld running through the thread, and
the sole Of one Of his boots struck off without in
Juring him in the least. His clerk, Don Santiago
del Monte, was sitting opposite him, and the chair
on which he was sitting had nearly all the brass
lacks drawn out by the fluid Another house hard
oy, where upwards Of forty persons were assem-
bled at the time, was likewise struck by the Aud;
fortunately, not Djuring a single person, but de-
suoying lookiDg-glass and great portion of the
doors, windows, and walls, especially where any
metals were found. The third house affected by
me shock was the mercantile establishment OF
Messrs. Noyes and jerks. One of their clerks had
parcel OF letters, which he held in his hand at the
moment, thrown 10 a great distance from him. One
OF the houses-the one that experienced most inju-
ry--was new building.
Besides this, we find nothing else of interest TO
our readers, but full description Of the markets al
Havana on the 22d instant.
The prices, both Of imports and exports- have
experienced but little change since the last quota.

Showing the actual duties collected on the actual
import Of Madeira to be, correctly stated in the
table, at the rate of 5.24-lO0 per cent. This, the
editor says, at duty of sixty cents per gal
lon, would show the cost Of gallon to
be sll As. This only proves the total ig-
norance of the editor Of the subject discussed
by him. The tariff of ls42, fifth subdivision Of sec
ton g. imposes duty Madeira Of siry eenis per GAL
lon; but It also imposes ION the white wines, not
enumerated, Of France, Austria, Prussia, and Sar-
DINA, and Of Portugal and its possessions in casks,
u cents per gallon" 1t also declares shat nothing
herein contained shall be construed permitted
operate SO as to interfere with subsisting treaties
with foreign nations" Under the reciprocity
clause of our treaty with Portugal of six years du-
ration, dated August 26, 1910, it was decided by
the predecessors Of Mr.. Walker, that Madeira from
Portugal or its dominons being a white wine
paid only duty of u cents per gallon in casks
during the continuance Of that treaty; and hence the
table being founded, it staes the actual duties
collected in lS45, is correct in regard to Madeira.
Under the new tariff, after December |, 1896 Ma
deira will pay, like all other Wines 40 per cent. ad
| valorem. The misrepresentation of the Gazette
have been numerous, as, if continued, to entitle
the editor to a most unenviable notoriety. 1t
will not do for that journal to plead ignorance through
whole long chapter Of such statements. The most
prompt retraction-nott to say apology-really seems
the only honest course left for the Gazette.

THE ALLEGED OVER DRAFTS BY THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

| There has been SO much barefaced and deliberate
untruth uttered by the wing journals in relation to
the dePosite and draft Of the public money by the
Treasury Department, that we are almost tired OF
oontradicting it. The following letter from New
York gbbets another Of these t0hg SANDERS, found, il
seems by the writer of the letter. in of the usual
hsunts Of such things-the columns of the New
York Express.
New YoRK, September 5, 1876.
The New York Express of Friday undertakes to
show (and Il has made much stir IN Wall street,
that the Secretary Of the Treasury has committed
fraud upon the public by reporting more money at
his credit in the banks of this city than what he
really has; and, instance, takes the quarterly
report published by comptroller on the LIST OF
August, and the monthly report Of the Secretary
made up on the 26th Of July, and hnds IN the latter
il is stated that there is rising million Of dollars at
his credit in the Bank of the State Of New York
and the Bank Of Commerce, while these banks re-
port NOT one cent three days afterwards!
The whole Of this matter Is easily accounted Tor,
and the blame, 1t will be seen, lies with the two
banks and not with the Secretary. The truth is,
these two banks have been in the habit Of including
the amount they hold in deposlte OF United States
money in their individual dsposiis account In other
words, all depostes made in these banks, whether
by merchants, insurance companies, or the collector
Of this port is hudded together in one grand total,
and called "due depositors on demandi" whereas
The other deposite banks Of this city state separately
the amount due the Treasurer Of the United
States.

NAVAL Commemorative are requested ia
state that Mr.. Grice las not been appointed CHIEF
naval constructor, as has been currently reported in
the newspapers, and inadvertently copied into the
Union Of Saturday. The Office Of chief naval con-
sructer existed without any special warrant of law
and at the late session Of Congress- the estimate for
ltssupport occasioned considerable discussion Sez.
Tag the occasion, presented by the recent vacancy
the Secretary of the Navy determined to leave the
naval constructors on an equal footing, and not Il
continue doubtful Office. They will now be called
on, as their services needed, to report at Wash
ington for such duty as may be required of them ir
TIL line Of their profession.
In pursuance ofthis arrangement, Mr.. Grice hs,
been called to Washington, not as chief naval con
structer, but FIR temporary duty in connection with

MISREPRESENTATION.
We copy the following editorial from the Aexan-
dria Gazette:
"THE TAnFF.-The last two numbers Of the
Union are principally occupied with "a comparative
statement Of the tariffs Of l542 and 1885, prepared
by the Secretary Of the Treasury. We have not
had time to give this statement examination, but
on CHANGING over it, we find that Madeira wine, I'M
der the tariff Of l642, is pat down paying duty
Of S. 24-l00 per cent The duty being sixty
cents per gallon, follows that the Of Madeira
wine must be sll As per gallon! If this be a sam
pie Of the correctness Of Mr.. Walkers comparative
statement we would advise him to revise il before
publishing a second edition"
Now, the statement IN the table Of comparative
tariffs to which the Gazette refers, states "the spe
cites being reduced to ad palorsm in statements
and accompanying the report Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury on the finances December 3, ls45,
and predicated upon the actual imports Of the GUS
tom-house valuations and the duties paid for the
fiscal year ending 3Oth June, lsI5."
