REVENUE LAWS THE CATTLE PLAGUE
ENCKE's COMET.

Gen. Burbridge and friends are laboring industri
Ously to induce Commissioner Rollins TO resign alb
soutely in his favor but Republicans generally are
decidedly opposed to any such action, because If MI
| Rollins should resign Internationally, the President
could appoint any one he might please to fill the
vacancy, and might refuse to bo bound by any such
bargain. They think it best for Mr.. Rollins to re-
main in his present position until after Congress
reassembles
1t is understood that the instructions to Minister
Rosecrans were submitted to the Cabinet meeting
to-day by Secretary Seward and that the subject of
our relations with Mexico was very fully discussed

cant Offices of Collector of Customs at NewOrleans
and Alaska can be filed by temporary appointments
to last until the end of the next session of Congress-
At meeting of the jackson Democratic Club last
night Gov. Green Clay Smith of Montana, made
most incendiary speech lie said that he had
] always been Union man, and defended the Stars
and Stripes, but that when the Southern people sur
rendered and submitted to the Constitution and
! lawful authority of tho Government, then, q
| Federal officer, he took them by the hand Those
States were now in the Union, and their electoral
vote should be counted. The war; he remarked, was
fought for the maintenance of the Union, and dur
| ing the war Tennessee and Virginia had represent
tatiyes in Congress. The Union restored by the
war. and Virginia, well all the Southern States
entitled to the same privileges as before the
| Rebellion. She was conquered as Virginia, and is
still the State of Virginia and her electoral vote
must be counted. Should it be cast for Grant 1t
would be counted by this Radical party, and the
! Democrats would say Amen. Should it be
cast for Seymour and Blair by the eternal
il shall be counted lie was not negro-hater,
and would not return the black man to slavery
because he thought the country better off without
it but he believed that The Anglo Saxon race
should rule this Government and would rule it, and
100000 Of our white people should never be sub
ected to the rule Of 100000 Of blacks These usurp
ing carpet aggers must seek their homes in the
Northern States, where they belong. He spoke of
Gen. Grant as a man who had gained great military
honors, but nothing a statesman.
