APPOINTMENTS.
| WASHINGTON, August S.-The following in
ternal revenue appointments were made to-
day: Bassett Langston, Assessor LIST Dist
of Ohio; Gen. L. W. Pierce, Collector, LIST
Dist. of Massachusetts.
FOREIGN.
The following condensed analysis is from
the pen Of a shrewd observer, contained in
letter received in this city, dated Paris,
July 20:
The situation may be briefly stated as fol-
lows Prussia lays down the basis of peace,
| which is the exclusion Of Austria from the
German Confederation, and upol the ac-
ceptanee Of this basis by Austria, Prussia
and Italy will agree to an armistice of five
days for negotiation.
France proposes to support this offer, pro-
vided Prussia will reserve the total exclu-
| sion Of Austria and make that a European
question to be settled by a Congress. Prus-
sia assents to this, whereuPon the French
/ minister proceeds to Vienna and Prince Ma
| poleOn to Italy to submit the terms agreed
upon by France and Prussia. The impres-
sion appears to be that Austria will accept
the basis of peace to gain the five days,even
if she intends to disagree. There IS evident
ly great confusion at Vienna, and they are
SO hotly pressed they caRnot get time to de-
| liberate calmly.
Have you noticed the rapid conversion of
tie English press to German unity That
poisoned gift of Yenetia has worked remark
/ ably. France hung out all her flags and
placarded the result in large letters to show
/ the grand position of the Emperor. But tho
people Of all Germany have shown their dis
gust at the idea of a French prctectOrate,
and Bismark has become stronger than
ever, so that he has refused the Emperor's
programme with impunity and substituted
his own.
A CLEVER FELLOW RECEIVES AN OFFICE.
The Secretary of the Treasury has, under |
law passed at the last session of Congress,
appointed ]. Ross Browne commissioner 10 |
collect mining statistics in the States and |
Territories west of the Rocky Mountains. |
He will proceed to the Pacific coast by |
steamer on the lIth inst This is an i'm |
portant mission, and will embrace statistics /
of the products Of bullion, the population /
engaged in mining, descriptive of mineral /
lands, capital, cost of labor, and yield.
Similar statistics are collected by the Brit
ish government in Australia, at great ex-
Prussia, Austria, and others. France has
already had a scientific and statistical re-
port made on the mineral resources of Cali
fornia and Nevada.
REVENUE MATTERS.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided TO call attention to the fact that 1
the new law makes the word money to
include checks, drafts and other instru-
ments given for the payment of money,
and these for the receipts for checks, drafts,
&c, are TO be stamped as for money. The
new Internal Revenue law differs from the
old one concerning brokers' sales of stocks /
and bonds, which, under the latter, were
assessed upon the basis of the par value,
but under the former law from August lst,
the stamps must be affixed upon the basis
of the amended rates.
