Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, February 6.-The former
'tatement of your correspondent that the
sax on distilled spirits would not be re-
duced in the report Of the Committee Of
Ways and Means was based on the positive
assertion Of two Of the committeeman. It
is learned to-day from other members OF
that committee that they will report in
favor of reduction to fifty or sixty cents
per gallon.
British Minister Thornton will be pre-
sented to the President at noon to-mor-
row.
Secretary McCulloch, who received se-
we're injuries yesterday from fall on the
ice, will be able to attend at his Office to-
morrow.
Senator Johnson, Mr.. Seward, and
Mayor Hoffman, are severally named by
the quad nu7,cs as the successor of Mr..
Adams, Minister to England. The Presi-
dent has not considered them in that con-
uection, and only awaits the arrival of a
communication by mail before nominating
the person limited at by your correspondent
a few days ago.
The Presidents rejoinder to Grant, and
a separate statement of Wells, Browning,
Randall, and McCulloch, saying that Mr..
Johnson's account of the Johnson Grant
controversy is correct, is prepared, but
has not been delivered to Grant. 1t is ex-
pected to be made public tomorrow.
A military order will be issued in q day
or two giving General Sherman command
Of new department.
The Attorney General has not decided,
as announced in newspapers, that under
the tenure -of-ofice law all officers whose
terms Of Office expire are to hold over
until their successors shall be appointed
and confirmed. He holds only that in
certain peculiar cases where the law ex-
pressly provides for such holding over, an
officer whose term has expired can con-
tinue to perform the functions of his Office
until successor is qualified.

Foreshadowed there BelshaZZar's fall
And Daniel in the lions den
Gave judgment TO the sons of men,

WHERE ENGLAND PLAYS HER GAME OF HELL,
WITH MURDER, ARSON, THEFT, AND RAPE,
Some outraged Prisoner of State
May light the fuse of Rodman's gun
That sinks the modern Babylon.
Americans ask what they think right,
PAY YOUR BLOCKADE BILLS OR STRIP FOR FIGHT
RELEASE OUR CITIZESS-CHASGE YOUR LAW,
Or CLEAR YOUR DECKS FOR BLOODY WAR
What No money after all your ill-got gains
Sell Ireland then for tn Alabama claims,
Or one live American In Cork
May teach forty millions how to talk.
