Senator Sherman, the chairman, and one or
two members of the finance committee, have ar
rived here for their meeting on Tuesday next,
to consider the questions submitted by the
special senate resolution of April last regarding
the reduction of taxation through a revision of
the customs and excise laws. The committee
will not do much next week, but remain in SEES
sion till the meeting of congress, and will prob
ably be prepared to submit some result of their
labOrs in December or January. 1t is doubtful,
however, ii anything very practical will come
from this, as the house is quite sure, as hereto
fore, TO insist on its constitutional prerogative
TO institute all measures relating to revenue.
The new ways and means committee will of
course, be quite sensitive upon the proposed re-
vision OF the tariff.
APPOINTMENTS.
The president has appointed Geo. H. Boxer of
Pennsylvania minister resident at Constantine
pie, vice McVeagh resigned, and John Hart
Haws consul at Hakodadi.
POSTAL.
The post office department is still unable to
make permanent contracts for carrying the mails
over some of the postal routes in the southern
states. Although twice advertised, no response
bic bids have been made. Of those opened last
week nearly all prove to be straw bids. Gen.
Creswell will ask congress in his next annual re-
port, to Legislature in the matter, and will recon-
mend that law be passed providing that offer
ing "straw bids" shall be considered a INSIDE
NM and ha ek,nl a..
well is of the opinion that this would have the
effect to prevent any but legitimate bids being
made.
MARYLAND.
Gen. Creswell left for his home in Maryland
yesterday, and will not return until after the
state election, next Tuesday. He predicts that
the republicans will make q gain in Maryland
of ten thousand votes over the vote of the last
election, and will gain several members of the
legislature.
NAVAL.
All the officers of the United States steamer
Richmond, which recently arrived at Philadcl-
phia from the European feet, have been de-
tached and placed on waiting orders, among
them are Chief Engineer John N. johnson and
MidShipmen Herbert Winslow, John II Nichols
and Timothy d. Boiler of Massachusetts.
Lieut. Commander N. Mayo Dyer has been or
dered to the Boston navy yard. Lieut.. Com
mandcr James G. Green of Massachusetts has
been detached from the Ashuelot, and placed
on waiting orders. Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Gardiner
of Massachusetts has been detached from the
Monocacy and granted sick leave.
UTAH.
The instructions of the president to the eXecu-
tive authorities in Utah were to the effect that
there should be firm yet iudicious enforcement
of the law, and no compromise with criminals.
The latest reports from civil and military
officials represent that all danger of collision has
passed.
HABEAs CORPUS.
1t is said in official circles that the president
has present intention of suspending the privi-
lege of the writ Of habeas corpus in any southern
state other than South Carolina, unless u con-
dtion of things shall occur similar to that in the
proclaimed counties.
A PHILADELPHIA DELEGATION.
A delegation from Philadelphia had an inter-
view with the president yesterday, urging the
Importance OF congressional endorsement of
the centennial celebration Of American indie
pendence.
INTERNAL REUENUE.
The receipts of internal revenue the present
fiscal year, to Nov. 4th, were S4S, 731. The
expenses have been reduced thirty per cent from

AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
Mr.. Myers, of the treasury department, who
has investigated the whole subject of emigration
from Europe, recommends that, upon the ar
rival Of all vessels carrying emigrants, an in
opCCtOl SptuhluS as ludilJ ats pOSSlDle
board them, and ascertain the complaints of
space occupied, the quantity and quality of
food, means of ventilation and escape, duplicate
reports TO be made TO the collector of the port
and treasury department. He also urges a de-
cison of the question of jurisdiction of our gov
eminent over the officers of foreign ships, that
in case of necessity remedies may be devised in
new law.
TEXAS.
There appears to be some dissatisfaction
among the Texas republicans concerning party
management in that state. A delegation, com
posed mainly of members Of the state executive
committee, is here, endeavOring to persuade the
administration to bring about change in the
federal officers of the state. They place the re-
sponsibilty for their recent defeat at the door of
the principal treasury officers and post master,
and think that if the changes they propose are
made the state can be carried in 1872 by large
majority,
SOUTH CAROLINA,
South Carolina papers report that the excite
ment in Spaitanburg is somewhat subsidized.
In York county over two hundred persons have
confessed their connection with the kukluX or
ganizatiOn, though they mainly allege they
never participated in its operations. Some say
they were compelled to join, while Others did it
as a means of protection.
