NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Times WASH
ington special says: The announcement of
National banks still being established
should not be construed to mean that any
new banks are actually being authorized.
Except In few cases in the South, .he an
nouncements of new National banks now
refer to banks which were authorized
months ago but whose certificates have
been withheld until they have complied
with the provisions of the banking law,
which requires that their circulation shall
not exceed the maxmum-90 per cent-ot
their capital. The bank note circulation of
the country is therefore slowly decreasing,
as most of these State banks had circula-
ton in excess of their capital.
The internal revenue receipts in the last
ninety-six days. Sundays included, amount
TO the sum of $l00035, ,32l.94, being greatly
In excess of what was expected by any one
conversant with the business of the Internal
hevepue Department. The receipts for the
month of September were, $37, $50, 4l5 so.
To-day's receipts are $l,SS2,453 o..
The Commission of Internal Revenue to-
day decided that travelling agents of man
ufacturers and dealers regarded as COM
mercial brokers under the decision of Aug.
18th, will be required to procure license
from the LIST of August instead of the list of
May, thereby reducing the cost'of the IL
cense for the current revenue year from
$40 to Sl5. Tbs reason of this decision is
because the construction of this law was
made subsequent to the date OF the annual
licenses.

A special to the Herald from Washington
says: Several Louisiana gentlemen were
admitted early in the day to an interview
with the President and urged their pecu-
liar views concerning reconstruction in
that State. Gov. Wells was warmly sus-
tanned by them, and Gen. Candy blamed for
the vile disorder and dissatisfaction that
reign throughout the Commonwealth.
Gen. Sheridan was spoken of in high terms,
and conceded to have confined himself to
the discharge of his military dbties. They
represent that permanent order cannot be
restored until Gen. Canby's interference in
civil matters be directly forbidden. ,...
The publication in New York of the
statement that the proposed conversion of

thus absorbed must have been made under
misapprehensio of the law, and does the
Treasury Department great injustice. No
such additional issue will be made, and
none such were ever contemplated by Mr..
&lcCulloch. On the contrary, as has al
ready been stated in the Herald, it is the
first move of series for contraction, and
when rightly understood will receive the
universal appreciation of all who desire a
lessening of public debt, contraction of
national currency, and a return to the
specie basis.
The battalion raised in California, which
was attached to the Massachusetts quota, Is
now to be paid in full, but the paymasters
are required to keep separate account of
the travel, pay and subsistence allowed,
amounting to about $500 for each man, in
order that the account may be presented to
Massachusetts for reimbursement to the
United States Treasury.

mems Bureau has recently restored large
amounts of property topersons residing in
adjoining counties of Virginia which had
been Professionally held by the Bureau as

tinue to be made for the restoration of prop
