The Washington correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Advertiser says: "The consolidation OF
internal revenue districts and reduction OF
the force Of assessors and collie csors diree'ea
BY the tariff tax bill Of last session. - NOT
likely to be effected by January nrst' sne
time named in the act. 4 plan Is now
maturing in the internal revenue once Oy
which the system Of collecting the revenue
will be essentially changed and it is believed
both economy and efficiency more fully Sc
cured than by merely diminishing the pres
ent force employed. 1t is proposed to dis
pense entirely with assessors, and substitute
therefor stamps, the sale Of which would be
entrusted to collectors and ultimately to a
small number of officers specially appoint.
ed for this duty. The present force Of SUI.
pervisors and Haugers would secure an hon.
est execution Of the law, and the entire in.
ternal would be collected from the sale Of
stamp. Commissioner Douglass strongly ia.
vors the system thus generally outlined, and
it will be early brought to the attention Of
Congress, with the expectation that an act
may lie passed which will make more effec-
tive and permanent reduction Of expenses
than that authoriz, by the recent Law. The
saving in dispensing with assessors alone
would be over six million dollars annually

THE CHARLES RIVER MURDER.

Since the arrest Of Mr.. Alley for the muir
der Of Abijah Ellis, additional evidence has
been gathered which makes the chain of evi.
dence against him more complete. Early
Wednesday morning when Alley was leaving
his stable with his team in which there were
four barrels, his son and another man were
present, and his son noticed that the frsnt Of
his shirt Was covered With blood, and asked
his father what was the matter. He replied
that i, was nothing except that he struck a
horse. The other man. got into the wagon
and selecting place to ride moved one Of
the barrels which he found empty, and took
hold of another 10 move it and found it heavy.
Alley quickly said to him Here, II you are
going 10 ride with ME get over on the seat,
and the man did SO. II was shortly after this
that they met another man to whom Alley
paid the $50, about which something has been
said, its significance consisting in the fact
that he had said he was short of mon.
ey the previous day. The axe with which
the body Of Mr.. Ellis was cut up has not
been found, but it is known that he purchased
one at = hardware store on Washington stree,
on the 3lst of October.

does not aspire to such an honor, and all
statements to that effect are unauthorized By
him.

wisely never to say anything against politi-

A bewildered Missouri Confederate editor
stagRers to his feet after the late crushing
