NEW YORK, May THE Herald's speeia
says that Major General Daniel Sickles ar
rived in Washington this morning from
Charleston, accompanied by Colonel Moore
Captain Bassett and DR.. Smith, Of his staff
and Colonel Totten, Inspector General. The
General has been summoned from South Car
DINA to confer about the appointment TO The
Hague, which, it is rumored, he will prob
ably decline.
The Cholera.
In relation to the cholera on the steamer
England, the American Consul proceeds 10
state that he cannot learn that there Is or
has been a single case of cholera in Eng
land. and therefore concludes that the dis
ease was not the result of an infection taken
from any locality in England. Newspapers
saw the cholera is on the Rhine, and in some
localities in Spain and France, but it is not
generally prevalent in those countries.
Financial Statement.
The Tribune's special says that the Comp
t%roller of the Currency makes q state nent
which shows the actual receipts for the cur
reut fiscal year TO April 1st, are S4i0,04l,-
232, and at the same ratio for the next three
months will amount for the year to $780,
900, 600, to which may be added $40, O00, 900
for income taxes. Increased taxes are ex-
pected TO be laid next year on several i'm
portant articles, and some revenue will be
derived from the Southern States. Mr..
Clark therefore estimates that next years
revenue will not fall below this years, and,
deducting the expenditure as now estimated
there will be a balance to the credit of the
government of S249, 600. 900 on the 3Oth of
June, 1867.
The Times special says the query now is,
mill tho praeTdanf rafn thu hill admfftfn-
Colorado as a state. Some say he will sign
the bill because he has committed himself
in favor of the admission Of that territory,
in communication to Congress some weeks
ago. The President did not in that mes
sage undertake to decide any question in
volved, on the contrary, he Enthusiastically
declined TO take on himself the responsibility
of deciding anything, and submitted the
whole matter 70 Congress for its action. /
still adhere to my previously expressed be-
that the President will veto the bill ad-
Colorado on the ground of made
1u2te population if on no, other considera-
lion.
The United States Court convenes at Nor
folk, Virginia, tomorrow, Judge Under
wood presiding. Chief Justice Chase de-
to preside until he can be assured
hat martial law is abrogated in Virginia.
As there have been conflicting decisions in
he War Department, and by the COM
handlers of military departments, as to the
fleet of the Peace Proclamation with re-
,ard to the restoration of civil law in states
rebellion, the Chief Justice does MT
eel that it would be seemly for a Judge of
he Supreme Court to attempt to hold court
While a doubt exists as to whether martial
aw is abrogated or not. 1 can say on good
tuthOrity that he does interpret the Peace
reclamation as abrogating martial law in
be districts where the rebellion is declared
o have ceased, in all matters in which the
ivil courts have jurisdiction. II is under
TODD that e deelaratory proclamation 10
hat effect will bs issued in q day or two.
The RecOmmitted Tax Bill.
An immense amount of work has been
one by the Committee Of Ways and Means
ince the tax bill was first reported, and the
bill to be returned tomorrow

ave nearly doubled the number of sections
f the former bill. The following are some
f the important changes that have been
lade by the Committee: Railroad iron has
cen placed on the exempted list also Co.
alt pickles, yeast powders, and yarns and
Tarps used for braiding and manufacturing
urposes exclusively also statuary and
forks of art. The former action on tobacco
nd snuff has been rescinded, and a uni
)rm rate on all smoking tobacco, whether
lade of stems or leaf, Of zoe per pound.
70 repeal of the tax on lucifer matches has
cen proposed in this bill, as has been gen
rally stated in the newspapers. The spirit I
nd beer law, as reported by the Revenue I
commissioner, has been adopted. ,
TO Applicants 4 Ia Naval I
Academy 4
The young gentlemen who are so peltin- I
seeking appointments to the Naval /:
cademy are not aware, perhaps, that it is
bout as difficult to get out of the service as
is to get in. The cost to the government '
each graduate at the time of graduating :
$4,000, and a large number of cadets fail !,
graduate from lack Of capacity, &c. The
,vernment is 10th to part with a promis-
& student, One of this class sent his {
signation to the Secretary of the Navy a
days ago. The Secretary replied
be Department declines to accept your
signstion. Midshipmen must distinctly
that they cannot obtain an edu-
tion at the expense of the government, .
ID then quit the service without rendering 2
equivalent.
The New Orleans Cotton Case.
The New Orleans cotton case, which has
on trial before the United States Dis q,
let Judge, and in which a conflict between |
military and civil authority has grown
has been brought officially to the atten- P
IN of the President. By order of General a
lnby the cotton in litigation was seized .
the soldiers, instigated by persons inter
ted in the property, and by order of the r
urt was resisted. Judge Durell refused r.
proceed with his court so long as it was
by the military. The President 81
IS directed the Secretary Of War to in u
-uct General Candy to rescind the order :
implanted Of, and to allow the court unre-
rained authority in the matter. T
