SOUTHERN TREASURY OFFICERS ASKED TO RE-
SIGN.
A Washington special says in considera-
ton Of the fact that no legal payment can
be made to any Southern officer Of the
Treasury Department who has not sub
scribed 70 the test oath, the Secretary Of the
Treasury has notified all such that their re-
signations viii be accepted. He has also
made a request that Congress provide for
the payment Of those who have been per-
forming the duties Of the Department for
the time during which they have been 50
engaged.
PARTICULARS OF THE ARREST OF RoBERTs.
The Feaian President Vim. R. Roberts,
was to-day brought before o. S. Commits
siOner Belts under a warrant issued on
Wednesday for his arrest for violation Of the
neutrality laws. He was arrested at II
o'clock at his head quarters by Deputy Mar
ton. Though surrounded by an excited
crowd of adherents; came on the simple re-
quest of the officer without opposition
When his presence in tho building became
known the most intense excitement was at
once manifested. Among the few who were
aware of the fact, tho little room in which
Commissioner Belts ordinarily hears cases
was at once crowded to its fullest capacity.
The acting District Attorney stated the con-
tents of the warrant and that the GoYsrn-
ment thought it right, as Mr.. Roberts
appeared without counsel and seemed to
desire q trial instead Of accepting two
bonds of $4,000, one ordinary bail and the
other to keep the peace that the
after bonds might be fairly asked, as
Mr.. Roberts action tended to disturb the
peace between the nation.
Mr.. Betts-I do not see that l have the
power to ask bail to keep the peace in s1ch
case. .e
Mr. Roberts, am anxious for a speedy
trial in this matter, but cannot give bonds
to keep the peace.
Mr.. Betts-Iu my present view of the
law do not see that can ask it.
Mr. Roberts, should like to know if
give bail for this charge if am liable to be
re-arrested?
Mr.. Betts.-Certainly you are.
Mr.. Roberts.-Do l understand you to
mean that to be re-arrested l must make
war against some other nation than Eng
land ?
Betts,-No. Any act done against Eng
land, subsequentssto this act or as this is
continuing offence. any continuance OF suen
acts as those on which the complaint was
made would be sufficient foundation for
new warrant. ..-
Mr.. Roberts.-Then decline to give the
bonds. It would be giving the marshal
trouble 10 no purpose. / have bail her e, but
my reason for deeling before was that ! IN
derstood the rule to be as your honor had
laid it down. 1 certainly would not give
bonds to keep the peace, to detain me from
a repetition or continuance ofany act which
feel to be my duty as an lrishman-
| have persons here who would go my bail.
Mr. Cuff rather exeitedly offered to go
| bail for Mr.. Roberts in the sum Of $4,000
Mr. Allen do not understand the Court
4 to decide definitely on the question of balls
| to keep the peace. l am aware Mr.. Roberts
i has bail, and suggest that the matter be left
\ open till Monday in case Mr.. Roberts should
/ change his mind As Mr.. Roberts wishes
a speedy trial, l ask that you fix Monday
next for the preliminary examination The
/ Commissioner then remanded Roberts into
custody of the Marshal, appointing Monday
next at IL A. NJ, for a preliminary exami-
| nation Roberts is still detained ct
the Astor House.
The warrant alleges that he did begin
and set on foot military expedition, and
has provided and is now providing means
for military expedition or enterprise to
the territory of Upper Canada and OF
i Lower anu ObutI provinces VI
ritories adjoining thereto, all Of which said
territories are part of the territory and
under the government jurisdiction OF the
| Kingdom of Great Britain, foreign Power,
with which the United States are now at
peace.
REVENUE DECISION.
WAsHISGroN, June The Commissioner
| of Internal Revenue has decided that gains
| and losses incurred in the purchase and
| sale of stocks are regarded as gains and
losses in business, without reference to the
time during which the stocks are held. In
terest and dividends derived from stocks
are regarded as income derived from liked
investment, without reference to the time
during which such stocks are held But
when gains derived from the sale of stocks
involve interest received or accrued, such
gains may be regarded as derived from
| business alone.
Salaries except where specially provided
for by States are regarded as incomes from
, business. Value ofproperty used IN business
less the amount Of insurance may be de-
Quoted when lost from gains and Prohts OF
business, but that persons return gain or
3 claims les upon the purchase and sale Of
stock, does not necessarily imply that he
does business which requires or has re-
, ouired license. of brokers' liability to be
f taxed for such license shall be determined
upon its own merits us an independent
