From Washington.

Washington, June Is. Secretary Boutwel
this forenoon decided that he has power to hear
the appeal of the New York Central Rail-
road Company from the recent decision of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. but that
it is not necessary to do so for the due ad-
ministration of the law, or for the protection
OF the rights of the company. If, therefore,
the company shall not pay the amount already
assessed there will be a levy ON their prop
erty. They however have right to in
stltute suit against the collector and gov
eminent, and thus be enabled to defend the
decision. |f
Admiral Rodgers commanding the Asiatic

June ID. the following account of his recep-

starving or other terrible treatment at the
hands OF the natives: 'sOur minister and CO.

The Monocay Palos, and four steam launches

to examine the river Salste, at a point called
Difficult Passage on the French chart, at a
point where navigation is most perilous.
Masked batteries, manned by several Coreans
unmasked and opened heavy fire without
warning upon our people. The French ship

bearing up, drove the enemy from their
works. The tide swept all the ships past the
batteries, and they anchored and threw shells
among the retreating enemy-eight inch

At the regular meeting of the Kennebee
Law Club Friday evening, the following case
was argued, 'can the law Of 1871, making
X. r. tickets good for six years unless SOON
er used be enforced against those companies
who previous to its passage had made regula-
tions limiting the time in which their tickets
should be used?" &C. Powers argued that
it could; w. f. Frost contra. o. d. Baker
Judge.
II. S. Choate delivered the following opin-
ion on the previous question, "Whether a
deed executed without grantee being after
wards inserted by an agent having written
authority not under seal, was such deed as
would pass the title"
l. When the deed was delivered by gran
tor to his agent it was imperative as con-
veyance.
III. The authority to complete the deed
must be of as high nature as would be rec
ognized to make the entire deed.
Ill. The authority to make deed must be
under seal. This authority not being under
seal the agent could not make a valid deed
Frost, Powers and Hutchings concurred.

which had been assigned to Mr.. Howard
| Owen of Augusta, but who was necessarily
detained at home, was opened by Dea. Han
cock and followed up by others. An hour at
noon was afforded for refreshment, which
gave quite a picnic character to the Conven-
ton. Numerous baskets, well stored, made
their appearance, and epicures for little
while had command Of the place. At the re-
sumption of the discussion in the afternoon

gusta, was not present to open the discussion
of "should the S. s. be sustained through
