New YORK, Oct. 5-The Times Wash
inpton special SAYS the announcement OF
| National Banks still being established
should not be construed to mean That
any new banks are actually being au'
thorized, except in few cases IN tne
South The announcement OF ne" Na-
tional Banks now refer to. banks when
were authorized months ago, but whose
certificates have been withheld until
thew have complied with provisions OF
banking law, which requires that their
circulation shall not exceed the maxi
mum ninety per cent of their capital
The hank note circulation of the coun-
try is therefore slowly decreasing, as
most of these State Banks had crcu-
lation in excess of their capital.
Agricultural Commissioner Newton
has issued his report for the month just
closed. 1t relates chiefly to farm stock.
In the summary he states that the aver
age amount consumed in Great Britain
and Ireland is about 56,OOO,OOO bushels
more than is produced. The deficit OF
this year will then make it about one
third greater, or 72,600,000 bushels The
immense corn crop of this country now
safely grown, will enable us to ship
largely of wheat to foreign countries.
although the wheat crop has been in
iured fully as much as reported In the
last month, and the quality OF the new
crops not so good in many States. The
amount of old wheat will be as great as
anticipated. The buckwheat and pota
to crops may be very large, but the dan
ger of the rot is too imminent to base
any calculation upon the latter crops.
The Internal Revenue receipts i'll the
last GO days, Sundays included, amount
ed to the sum of one hundred millions
nine hundred and thirty-fve thousand
three hundred and twenty-one dollars
and ninety-four cents being, greatly in
excess of what was expected by any one
conversant with the business OF the In
ternal Revenue Department. The re.
ceipts for the month of September were
S37 ,93o,4l5 81. To-day's receipts are
81 ,SS2 453 "a. The Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue to-day decided that trav
elling agents of manufacturers and deal
cas-, regarded as commercial brokers un-
der the decision of August 18th, will be
required to procure license from the 1st
of August instead of the lst of May,
thereby reducing the cost of the license
for the current revenue year from 500 to
SIS. The reason of this decision is be-
cause the construction of this law was
made subsequent to the date of the an
nual licenses.
A special to the Herald from Washing
ton the 4th, says: Several Louisiana gen.
tlemen were admitted early in the day
to an interview with the President, and
urged their peculiar views concerning
reconstruction in that State. Governor
Wells was warmly sustained by them,
and Gen. Candy blamed for the civil dis
cord and dissatisfaction that reign
throughout the commonwealth. Gen.
Sherman was spoken Of in high terms
and conceded to have confined himself to
the discharge OF his military duties
They represent that permanent order
cannot be restored until Gen. Canby's
interference in civil matters be decisive
ly forbidden.
The publication in New York of the
statement that the proposed conversion
of compound interest notes ints five
twenties by Secretary McCulloch, gives
the latter the power to issue additional
notes to replace those thus absorbed,
must have been made under misappre-
hension of the law. and does the Ireasu-
~ Department great injustice. No such
additional issues will be made and none
such were ever contemplated by MIR. Nc
Culloch. On the contrary, as has alrea-
DIV been stated in the Herald, it is the
first move of series, for contraction,
and when rightly understood, will re.
ceive the universal appreciation of all
who desire the .lessening of the public
debt, contraction of the national cur
recny, and return to the specie basis.
,.The battalion raised in California
which was attached 10 the Massachusetts,
quota is now to be paid in full, but the
paymasters are required to keep a seper-
ate account of the travel, pay and sub
sistance allowed, amounting to about
$500 for each man, in order that the ac-
count may be presented to Massachusetts
for reimbursement to United States Treas
ury.
A special to the World from Washing
ton 4th says: The Freedman's Bureau
has recently restored large amounts of
property to persons residing IN adjoining
counties of Virginia, which had been
provisionly held by the Bureau as aban-
doned. Numerous applications continue
to be made for the restoration OF prop
erty.
Eighty-f pardon warrants were sign
ed by the President this morning, but
none of them included any names of
prominence. The parties receiving them

Carolina.
