THE REPORTED ATTEMPT TO Ass.ssI
NATE SENATOR WADE

The man who called on Senator Wade last
Wednesday night. and whose conduct orgi.
mated the report Of an attempt to assassinate
the Senator, it has been ascertained was man
named Flemming, originally from Kansas, and
during the last three years employed in the Ma
Wy Y ard at Brooklyn and Charlestown, Mass
After his interview with Senator Wade he
called on Senator Wilson, on the same mission
on which he visited the former, namely, 10 get
recommendations for employment in one Of the
Navy iaIds. Mr.. Wilson declined TO recon-
mend him, not knowing anything of his history,
and the man left. Flemming is described as a
dissolute and violent man, and as having had
a number of difficulties while in the navy
yards. 1t is not believed by these acqu ainted
with his habits that he called on Mr.. Wade for
any other purpose than TO get his recommen-
dalton, and that his conduct on the DC cason
was the explosion of violent temper usual with
him on meeting rebuff. Such, we imagine
must have been the conclusion of Senator
Wade, from his failure to cause the apprehen-
sion of his assailant. We are glad 10 learn that
this mysterious affair can be accounted for on
a more satisfactory theory than that we have
any members OF the assassin breed yet lurking
here unhung.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue de-
cided, IN reply TO an inquiry, that no stamp is
required on note secured by mortgage when
the two instruments are transferred by a mere
endorsement of the note. The opinion of the
Commissioner is that if the extension of the
time for the payment of a note is not in writing
neither instrument Will require an additional
stamp; but if a note is renewed by giving
new0ote, the renewal must be stamped with
a stamp in proportion to the amount of the re-
newal, though the mortgage is not subject to a
further stamp duty. If the time of payment is
extended by virtue of a written agreement. a
stamp must be fixed appropriate to the agree
ment.
1t has also been decided that canal boats, duly
enrolled and licensed, on which tonnage has
been paid, are not liable to the internal revenue
tax.
The receipts from the internal revenue dur
ing last week amounted to S4.64I,2g3f2 Total
since June 80, 1865, sl79,5OO,OO0.

WHITE HOUSF

There was the sual crowd of visitors AT the
White House this merning, seeking an inter-
view with the President on the subject of par
dons and other private business. The Presi-
dent having decided TO grant no more pardons
at present, this class of visitors Is diminishing

Mansion before the public reception.
There was received at the White House this
morning a copy of resolutions adopted by the
legislature of Dakota Territory, pledging its
support TO the President in all his efforts to re-
store and re-establish the Government upon
the cornerstone of freedom and equality, in
accordance with the letter and spirit of the

subject is likely 10 be disposed OF at this ses-

by Mr. Rice, of Maine and instructs the Com
