WASHINGTON, Aug. THE vexed
question of the Revenue Commissioner
ship is near its solution. 1t was discussed
in the Cabinet to-day, and the constitu-
tional advisers of the President agree with
him that he has the right to act on Rol-
Inns resignation, regardless Of the condl-
tions sought TO be imposed. 1t Is likely
Gen. 1Jefiries or Alexander Cummings VIII
be appointed I'D interim. Among the IN
dorsers of Gen. Burbridge are Gov. Cox, OF
Ohio, Judge Ssanberry, Mr.. Groesbeck
and Mr.. Belmont @
Quite sensation was created IN none
tary circles to-day by the announcement
Of an immense increase in the public debt.
The insiders knew IL several days ago, and
this accounts principally for the increase
in gold premium. 20 / ,s
Private advices from Alabama represent
that the resolution to choose elections by
the Legislature will pass, and that there IS
an excitement and deep interest among
Democrats in consequence.
Special to the Louisville journal.
WASHINGTON, August There was a
terrible gas explosion at the Capitol to-
day. The gas arrangements have been
neglected by lazy Radical officials, who are
trying TO get up story about Copperhead
nitro glycerin, to excuse their own dere-
LECTION of duty. The loss will exceed ten
thousand dollars.
McCuloch's statement of the public
debt-which was held back by him, and
returned to the different heads of the de
partments, with Instructions that they should
see if there was not some mistake-shows
an increase Of thirteen millions in two
months Three days were consumed in
overhauling every item, but no mistake
was fonnd. The Radicals are anxious
about the matter, and some of them begin
10 abuse McCulIoch. They say he should
have kept the statement back altogether
The result of the Kentucky election sur
prises the most sanguine Democrats, and IS
regarded as a foreshaking of the Democratic
ground-sWell that is steadily setting in all
over the North.
The political situation brighUens every
day News from the Pacific represents
gains for Seymour and Blair as certain in
every State. .
Some old fogy New York politicians re-
Gently telegraphed to Frank Blair asking
him TO moderate the tone of his speeches.
His reply was decisive. He told them that
he had studied the situation carefully,
thought he understood it, and meant TO
treat it freely and feariessly. 1t is said
that Gov. Seymour is very much pleased
with Gen Rlair's speeches. ..

The ARMY AND THE PACIFIC RAIL
notwithstanding to a report recently
submitted to the Senate by the Secretary
of War, it appears there are 513S enlisted
men, commanded by 194 commissioned and
sixty non-commissioned officers, serving
along the line of the Union Pacific rail-
road between Omaha and Salt Lake City.
Along the eastern division Pacific railway
there are 2106 privates, under eighty five
commissioned and twenty-six non-oom-
misioned officers. These 76OO troops are
mostly posted in very small numbers-in
parties of half a dozen--with larger num-
bers at points of danger.

We need never expect anything like uni
iormlty in the pronunciation of such En-
ghsh proper names as exhibit an eccentric
orthography. The British are in the habit of
Strengthening not only vowels but also conso-
nants, when they stand in the way of their
organs ofspeech. An American gentleman
was once introduced to an Engishman in
London whose name was Sinun Sliljer, or
olldger, as our country man understood it.
After an acquaintance with this gentleman
OF several months duration, the American
had occasion TO address him by letter; and
then, OF course, he had to determine upoa the
to the emergency, he called upon an English
friend for aid, when to his amazement and his
amusement he learned that the spoken name

both sides. earnest and fine fellows. ney
are all, too near,y OF one age. Tue English
are CENTER. more cons .deratc OF Inc ieehngS
of tnose about them, so ter ana more strain

the society of women: very sensitive Snl a
little awkward. They are deierentlal TO the
elders OF the party, and never put them
selves on the common footing OF human be-
ines, without much regard to ave or SEX
They are up in the classics, in history, and
in Antiquities but not up in the physical sci
enctS nor even in Their own literature.-
They Know good deal about English pol
itics, but not much about foreign or Ameri-
can affairs. They chaff each other, talk deal
OF slang, are always Sood-natured, and
have next to no selEassertion or national
sensitiveness. They are very liberal in their

The Americans are men better verSed in
general knowledge and in acquaintance with
the word. They are more skilled in the
sciences and in general literature know more
about English authors than tie Engshmen.
They know much less OF Latin and Greek
and antiquities. They talk less, but are more
self possessed, and seem much older Tor theil
years. They ale comparatively bluff manly
