THE NEW TARIFF.
When 1t Goes into Observation-Disclosures
of Secretary McOullOch.


In answer to an inquiry from a legal firm of
Boston, Secretary McCulloch has written the
following letter.
Gentlemen:-Your communication of the 2lst
inst. is received, appealing (4Os7 from the
decision of the Collector of Boston in assessing
duties under the act of March 2, 1867, on certain
merchandise imported by you per steamer Asia
the Sd inst, and alleging that such merchandise
is only liable to the rates of duty as existed by
law prior to the date of said act, for the reason
that at the time of its arrival in the United
States the said act had not received the sigma
ture of the President of the United States. In
reply you are respectfully informed that said
act, as officially received at this Department,
bears upon its face the fact that it was signed
and approved by the President OF the United
States on the I'd day of March, 1867, and that it
provides that the rates of duty therein pre-
scribed shall be imposed on the merchandise
therein provided for, from and after its passage.
The decision Of the Collector, therefore, is
hereby affirmed. / am, very respectfully
'H. MoCULLoCH,

VICTOR Cousins LIBRARY.-It has been al
ready stated that M. Cousin bequeathed to the
Sorbonne his magnificent library, composed of
fourteen thousand volumes, many of them
rare editions of great value. But it is not
generally known that in his will he entered
into very minute details on the subject. He
requires that the library shall be left lust as it
Is, IN the very same place, so that readers NAV
be received in the apartment which he in
hablted ior more than thirty years. He also
leaves to the Sorbonne all the furniture and
engravings which adorned his room. He
formally forbids any of his books being lent
out of the premises. He endows the Sorbonne
with an annual income of10, ,000f., viz.;-400Of
for the librarian, 2000f. for the sub-librarian
1000f for the reading-room clerk, and 3OO0f
for keeping the books in repair. Lastly. he
designates NJ Barthelemy st, Hilaire as chief
librarian, and leaves him all his papers
charging him expressly to write his (the tes,
tator's) biography. The posts of chief and
sub-librarian are hereafter to be reserved for
agr6g6S of the university. Having made all
these dispositions, M. Cousin appoints as
universal legatees MN. Mignet, Barthelemy
st. Hilaire, and Fremyn, who will have at
least 400, ,000f. to share amongst them, after
all deductions, and independent of capital
representing an annual income of 6000f., be-
queathed especially to M. Mignet.

Does the President Court I'M

Congress meets in November. 1t
adjourned u few weeks ago in the
belief that tho Presiden. would
execute the laws as he has sworn
to do.
Wo aro not Of those who have la.
vored impe lcbmont hitherto, or on
tho grounds which were advanced
by the advocates of that measure ;
but we do not hesitate to say that
II the President of tho United
States does not faithfully execute
the laws" he must be impeNched
and removed.
1t appears to us that Mr.. John.
son stands just upon the edgo of
danger. He is tempted, unless his
friends and enemies both belle him,
TO remove from their places officers
who have done thor duty most
faithfully, and whose removal will
have no other significance than, o
punishment for dong their duty
under the law ofthe land. TO ro
move Sheridan, Pope and Stanton
is to put away and disgrace mon
who have done their duty faithful.
" and zealously; who are highly
regarded by tho friends OF the
Union for their faithfulness, and
hated by the obstruclionists for the
same reason.
10 remove those mon is to
strengthen and encourage tho enc.
mics of the country; il Is to weak.

and so called Democratic candi-
dates for State Senator in this dis
trict are forcibly and correctly set
forth. We are highly encouraged
by the tokens os satisfaction

BROOK, which come up from every

AN exceedingly favorable impros-
sion wherever he goes, and it If
now evident that a strong and de-
termined effort on the part Of the
Union men, aud the tull solid vote
of the party is all that will bore
quired to secure his election. Such
a triumph is worth such an effort,
and we are glad to DO able to say
that the indications are that ii will
be made.

Of tho first day, and all coming in
after that time cannot compete for

Sheridan Removed.


The Washington special Of the
10Th, to tho Cincinnati CONNER
cial, says: "The President this af
ternoon sent an order TO General
Grant, as Acting Secretary ofWar,
directing him TO relieve General
Sheridan as commander Of the
Fifth Military District, and to
transfer General George Ii, Thomas
10 the vacancy" 1t was further
stated that the regular order OF
snpersodure would be issued on the
following day.
II this be true, tho President has
at length dared 10 do tho moSnest
and most foolish act of his life
The whole country will at once
recognize it as having proceeded
from nothing else than q spirit Of
Of desperate mischief, and u deter.
mination to exert for the short
time that remains OF his term all
his power to thwart the efforts OF
Congress for tho reconstruction OF
the late rebel states on n loyal ba.
sis We can credit tho fact OF the
assignment otso good man as
Gen. Thomas to. take the place Of
Sheridan only to the circumstance
ofGcneral Grant being in tho War
Office, and there being absolutely
