The United states and England.

We reproduce the following special to the
st. Louis Democrat:
WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE presi-
dent, on Friday, directed Secretary Fish to
send dispatch TO London perelnptorily re-
calling Mr.. Motley and designating Mr..
Moran as the person to conduct the business
Of the legation until a successor can be
found. The administration is desirous Of
opening negotiations in regard to the fishery
question and some kindred subjects, and it
is not deemed advisable to have Mr.. Motley
begin the business on account Of his present
relations To his own government and the
short time he will remain in London
Several prominent Republican politicians
are advising the President strongly against
any steps looking toward trouble with
England. 1t seems to be taken for granted
by these gentlemen that some of the Presi-
dents present advisers are urging him to
send such instruction by the new minister
to England as will be likely to result in
grave complications. The friends of one
gentleman who was named for that position
assert that he declined it because he was
not willing to be the medium through which
implied threats Of war as meanso Of settling
the Alabama claims should pass.

WASHINGTON.

Exports Of Wheat. Flour, Cotton and
Leaf Tobacco-Granville's Position
Strength Of the United States Army
Senator SchurZ at the White
House-He failed to see the President.
WASHINGTON, November lit appears
by official data that during the eight month
ending September 81 last, the exports of
wheat amounted to over $4,000, 900; wheat
-four nearly sl2,O0O,0O0; raw cotton $l52.-
100000, and leaf tobacco $ll 100000.
Granville's position, as understood here,
is that Russia may ask an abrOgatiOn of the
treaty by the usual routine, but may not
disregard its provisions until so abrOgated.
The strength OF the United States army
is 1850 men.
Senator Schurz called at the White House
to-day. but failed to see the President.
The Star states the President was en-
gagged answering private letters.
The following is another analysis of Gran
ville's note: Earl Granville's reply to Prince
GOrtschakotf denies the right of Russia to
recognize the European situation as releas-
ing her from the obligations of solemn
treaty. 1t also denies that, assuming rs
true, that some contracting power considers
itself released from o treaty, the Others are
at liberty to disregard 1t. 1t further says
that instead of making any such announce
ment, Russia should have invited the
powers to consider the subject.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-11-18

An article in the Shreveport Gazette,
treating of the late election, says: THE
most important defect is the failure Of
Governor Warmoth to order an election for
Police Jurors" Why Governor Warmoth
has not done this, the editor Of the Gasette
can Gee by referring to section 2729 Of the
Revised Statutes, where it reads: "Elec-
tions for Police Jurors shall be held in al
the parishes on the third Monday in Nay"

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE Gold

day, in consequence ofmany conflicting tele-

The reported mistake of one cent in the

close there was a slight rally to cover the
shorts, but favorable financial reports from
Europe checked the rebound. The market

Vap0rizing, Condensing, PuritfcaliOn ant!
Refining Of Spirits.

The following letter from the Acting
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue to Col
onel S. A. Stockdale, Internal Revenue Col
lectOf of this district explains itself
Under the construction heretofore given
to the excepting clause of paragraph five,
section one, act of April 10, 1869. distillers
were limited in purifying or refining their
spirits in the course of original distillation
to the single process of vaporizing and con-
densing.
Under the construction now z wen TO said
clause, distillers will hereafter he allowed
to use in said process and as incidental
thereto, certain mechanical agents bereinaf-
ter enumerated, the effect Of which will be
the publication and refining of such spirits,
and that alone.
Purifying or refining spirits is understood
to be the freeing of the spirits from extra
neous matter, and does not, therefore, adj
NIT of the mixing OF any material with
spirits that remains Incorporated Herewith,
after the manufacture h complete.
The only processes of purifying or rein.
ing now known to this Office % in use, that
viii be admissible under this ruling, are re-
distillation, leuching or vap0rizing through
charcoal, wood dshavings, flannel, or similar
purifiers. VeFy respectfully,
]. W. DOUGLASS,
/ W ADDING Commissioner
