WASHINGTON, December SO.-The Revenue
Department has issued supplemental regu-
latlons concerning the tax on distilled
spirits.
1t is provided, among other things, that
having found the quantity of material used,
Assessors will determine the quantity of
spirits to be accounted for. The number of
days upon which the per diem capacity tax
is to be assessed is the whole number since
the date of commencement, less Sundays
and legal holidays.
In estimating the number of dry inches to
be allowed for fermentation, the Assessor
must be governed in great measure by the
depth of fe1menting tubs. From the best
information received, it is believed the
allowance should be IRON three to seven dry

AT the great Morse barqUet Mr.. Thorn
ton is supposed to have been hitting at
Reyerdy Johnson when he SAID: II am un-
willing, however, to fall iuto what seems to
me the error of talking too much about
peace. A good deal has been said on the
subject both in this country and in Eu-
rope-mOre, perhaps, than is either abso-
luteiy necessary or useful. Peace is not
always produced by talking about it. States
men ought, l. should, imagine, endeavor to
discover what is most likely to engage
mems interests, and to convince them that
a state of peace is necessary TO their we'll
being and 10 their moral and material COM

WASHINGTON, December 25.-Nothing of
more sensational nature has been tele-
graphed from Washington of late than
statements that there is growing GOODNESS
between General Grant and the Republican
leaders. So far from there being any truth
in the report, the very reverse is true. The
feeling Is general aud strong that Grants
administration will be marked by strict
economy and purpose to expose all frauds
and ruut out swindlers from place, and de-
stroy their influence with the Government
officials. General Grant has expressed him
self TO his friends regarding meeting of |
Congress OIL the fourth of March, but in. |
stead of demanding the repeal OF the law
for such session, he thlnks it best that a |
new Congress should organize the moment |
the old one expires.

WASHINGTON, December 26.-All sorts of |
speculatloDs are made here, as we'll as else |
where, about General Grants Cabinet. The |
only thing he has himself said about 1t in |
which there seems to be any significance, |
was "a remark he made in general converse
llou dUout tue pOicy OF tne next admlulS~ |
tration. He declared that he should be |
against all jobs and iobbefs. and for the ut |
most honesty and economy in the public |
expenditures. In this connection he spoke |
OF the Interior Department, saying that ii |
the Iudian Bureau remained there he should |
consider 1t fully as important to have a |
good man at its head as at the head of the |
Treasury Department, and would put in the |
best man he could find In the country, to
the end that the whole corrupt ring now
sheltered there might be uprooted. This |
was said in such a way. as to leave a strong
Npree sion on the minds Of those who
heard the remarks.
