Various Personal and Political Affairs
Special TO the Union and American.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The CommiS>
sioner of Internal Revenue has recently,
in reply to interrogations, instructed an
Assessor that where a dealer in tobacco
fails to make tree and correct inventory,
as required by Section Is, of the act of
July 20, it is required of Assessors to exs
anime the dealers stock, and if the alb
sence of receipts for tax and stamps
afford a reasonable presumption that the
tax has not been paid, report Of the
same must be made to the Collector,
whose duty it is to seize the stock, leav>
ing the burden of proof on the claimant
to show that the law has been complied
with.
From communication sent to the
Senate from the land office, it appears
that there have been given away to rail-
roads and canals, under various acts Of
Congress $685. AS acres of the public
land.
The committee on appropriations for
the support of the department of eduea-
ton, it is expected, will report in favor Of
abolishing the department.
an the House, Mr.. Ella, from the COM
mittee on printing, made a most remark
able report, exposing extensive frauds in
the purchase of stationery and paper, in
which Dempsey & 0tocol, statiOners in
Washington city, are charged with haV-
ing received extravagant prices for goods
furnished. In one case it is alleged they
were paid $4,000 for lot of paper, the
market price of which was only $1,000.
Owing to the payment Of over $780,
100000 interest on bonds, the public
debt statement for last month will show
an increase in the total amount Of the
debt, of about SI3,OOO,OOO. The state
ment will be issued on Friday.
Gen. Grant, accompanied by one or
two members Of his staff, leaves for New

most Of them furniture and clothing were
consumed. The location of the buildings
was on the outskirts of thu city, and it
was very difficult to procure water. At
one time the entire upper end of the city
was in danger. Sparks from the burning
buildings were carried over a mile,
