WASHINGTON, May 25-Internal revenue
receipts Today 500, 600.
The bill incorporating the Corcoran Art
Gallery has been signed.
The report OF the committee regarding
the trade between Mexico and Texas alleges
that from 81 600 600 to $4,000, 600 have been
smuggled, and accuses tue Ne Xican govern
ment with favoring this Illicit trade, and
asserts that JuareZ was disloyal during the
rebellion by allowing contraband goods to
reach the COnfederate5 through territory
which he controlled.
To-day's Tribune says: Governor Bull
lock reads somewhat too literally. He has
written a letter to u.s. for which We regret
we have no place. He urges merely technl-
cal objections to onr remarks on his'late
communication relative to the Georgia
troubles. We are aware, though he does
not seem to think it, that his term as Gov
ernor OF Georgia will not expire until 1S7 2,
no matter what Congress may do with the
Bingham amendment to the Georgia bill;
but we also know, and so does he,
that if that measure Is adopted,
ana new Legislature is elected
this coming fall, Governor Bullock
official existence, as we intlmated, will
speedily terminxte, and if there is any basis
OF truth in the revelations of frauds and at
tempts at bribery contained in the report OF
the Investigating Committee, Will Governor
Bullock have just reason to complain OF his
faith, or to charge US, as he does IN the let
ter we have received. that we don't tote
fair"
