BristOW's Resignation.
Appleton 0aksmith, an Alleged Slave

Miscellaneous Items.

WASHINGTON, November l2.-ThC
Commissioner of ILternal Revenue esti.
mates the receipts Of the bureau for the
present fiscal year at one hundred and
five millions Of dollars, or thirty mil
lions less than last year.
SO far as the bureau is aware, both the
tobacco and the spirit interests are satis-
fed with the late law Of Congress, and,
! therefore, there is no reason TO believe
that any modification of it will be re-
commended unless in the manner Of the
administration and reorganization OF
/ the districts, in order TO render the sys-
tenn more compact and reduce the ex-
penses.
As explanatory Of the recent diplo-
matte call on President Grant to con-
grstulate him on his reelection, it can
be truthfully stated that the Ministers
from Spain and Belgium last week seve-
rally received kilograms from their re-
speetive governments instructing them
so to act. This was the origin Of an az
rangement among the foreign ministers
now here to call in a body at the Execu-
tive Mansion. Secretary Fish, at the
time Of this arrangement, was absent,
and heard Of it only on his return to this
city. What he did on this occasion was
at their own request, and therefore con.
trary TO the statements IN the news
papers. No annoyance was caused by
him to the senior diplomats in conse-
quence Of the alleged disagreable posi-
ton in which they had been placed by
the paying Of a courtesy Of congratula-
ton in advance ofthe declaration of the
Electoral College.
Colonel Bristow, Solicitor-General, is
now in Kentucky. He win probably
forward his resignation this week, when
his successor, already selected by the
President, will be announced.
The President has pardoned Appleton
Oaksmith, who was taken to Fort War
ren, in 1861, it being alleged that as a
ship agent in New York, he had aided |
in fitting out vessels engaged in the |
slave trade. From the fort he was trans |
ferred to the Boston jail, and while legal
proceedings were pending, he escaped, |
and ever since has been a fugitive |
About year ago, paper was signed by |
a large number Of gentlemen, asking |
the President to pardon him, accompa- |
MED by documents tending to show his |
innocence Of the charges.
The long pending contest over the |
OF the Brooklyn Board of
Surgeons has reached q con-
clusion by the action Of the Commis-
sioner Of Pensions, who to-day recog-
nized the entire board, so as TO make its
mem mbership as follows: Drs. William
and n. W. Leighton, Allo-
paths and DR.. Albert Z. Sumner,
Secretary Delano returns to Washing
on this morning, and will resume his
official duties. The President has recog-
lized NJ. Hallesteinstand as Vice Con-
Iul for Sweden and Norway at Madison,
Wisconsin.

LOUISVILLE, November 12.-The trial
Of Rev. Gilbert II. Robertson, on the
charge Of intoKication and lewdness,
commenced here to-day, before the
Louisville Presbytery. Witnesses testi-
fed to seeing him intoxicated on the
train, also seeing him in a Chicago rail-
road sleeping-car with woman not his
wife. A deposition, preferring a charge
of previous drunkenness, was read.
VIM. J. Brown, sleeping-car conduc-
tor between Louisville and Chicago, tes-
titled that Robertson took section on his
car about the seventeenth of July last,
and travelled from Chicago to Indiana
polls; Robertson acted as if under the
influence of liquor; had a lady with
him closely veiled. He and the lady
occupied the lower berth together. He
saw him lay his head in the lady's lap,
and hug her. The two acted
like a newly married couple. Ro-
bertson brought a glass of beer
into the car and offered it to the lady who
refused, and he drank it himself David
Ross, porter in the same car, ccrroborat-
ed Browns testimony. Hesaid he made
up only the lower berth in the section,
and it was occupied by Robertson and a
veiled lady together. He says when
both got into the birth they seemed very
loving; saw Robertson hug the lady.
The testimony for the defense will be
heard tomorrow.

tions for the object on the approaching

Hsfart1ing Revelations Of Corruption
and RFfbery

and Bribery.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November r.
The investigation into the charges Of
corruption and bribery in the City Coun-
ell commenced to-day, and so far the
testimony shows an amount of venality
rivaling that exposed in New York last
year. The testimony Of a reliable wit
ness fully corroborates and shows that
there was q wood-paviDg ring designed
to swindle the city; that large sum of
money was raised for the purpose of
bribing members of the Council to vote
for wood pavement on Broad street;
that the affair was concocted and carried
on in the office Of one of the members
Of the Council, and that when a mem
Der threatened TO go back on the whole
concern threats were made to kill him.
The testimony so far taken duplicates
many outsiders. 1t is believed that those
who are exposing the affair do so at the
risk of their lives. Some of those impli-
Gated in it are also involved in the
Brooks, Ward and Dougherty affair.

in the case of Rev. DR.. J. Brinton Smith,
who was supposed TO have been poisoned
by the members Of his own family, on
the first instant, that deceased came to his
death from the effects of strychnine,
mixed in Seidlitz powders, administered
by Francis L. Mann, and that Mary Z.
Smith was custodian to the closet
in which was a vial, said to contain a
poisonous drug. Mrs. Mann is the
daughter and Mrs. Smith the wife of the
deceased. DR.. Smith was an Episcopa-
liam clergyman and, President Of the
st. Augustine COllegesof this city. The
affair has caused great excitement, as all
parties were heldin high social position.
Mrs. Smith and Mann were commit
ted to the county Jail this evening. Ap-
plications will be made by counsel for
their release on a writ Of hGbedS corpus.
The sentiment of the community is di-
