FROM WASHINGTON.


Washington, July 3.-The Secretary OF
the Treasury, in reply to letter signed by
persons engaged in the manufacture oil
tobacco, who ask that official to revise the
decision of the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, concerning the storage of manu-
featured tobacco in warehouses after the
9th of June, and previous to the LIST oil
July, says: " | am Of opinion that the
action of the Commissioner is required by
the language employed in the law, and
that the ruling accords with the purpose Of
the committees of the two houses charged
with the preparation and management Of
the BILL"
Tobacco moving under transportation
bonds, on the 9Th of June, when the act
was signed by the President, is not neces-
sarily subject to the old rate of duty, as by
the ruling of the Commissioner it may be
returned to the place of manufacture OF
held by the collector of the district to which
the consignment was made until the LIST OF
July, and then given up to the owner or con-
signee upon payment Of duty at the rate
fixed by the new law. This ruling of the
Commissioner appears to ME to relieve per-
sons engaged in the trade of all ground o.
complaint except what may arise from the
general purpose of the law, which is mani.
testify the abolshing of the warehouse sys-
tem."
The Indian Bepredat'ons in Texas-Report.
from Military Officers
Washington, July 3.-Colsnel Davidson
commanding at camp Supply, informs the
War Department, that the Kiowas are
again on the war path in the direction OF
fort Sill. General Pope says he does not
fear general hostilities.
Col. Mckenzie, commanding the fourth
cavalry, in letter dated fort Richardson,

predations are becoming alarmingly fire.
quent, and that the depredators are kiowas
and Comanches, who are fed daily by the
Indian Agent on the Canadian river.
In endorsing this communication, Lieu.
tenant General Sheridan says that all the
Indians on the reservation are engaged in
this bad work, and that he sees no way te
stop their outrages, except by the action
of the military at fort Sill and camp Sup.
ply. He requests permission to go and
wipe out the hostile Indians, and says the
idea of trying to protect the long line Of
Northern Texas from the Indians, who are
supplied with food, arms and ammunition a
the reservation, seems to him ridiculous.

CoLoRED MAN KNOCKED Down AND
BADLY lNJURED.-A colored man named
Cary Jones was knocked down with piece
of timber in the hands of white man
named George Schonberger, driver for
Bessieux, at the Tredegar works at about
nine O'Clock this morning. Jones, while
at work, frightened Schonberger's horses,
but declared that he did not do it on pur-
pose, when the latter called him liar, and
picking up piece of timber struck Jones on
the head. Jones was badly hurt. lie walked
to the Petersburg depot, where he fell
down in spasms. He was subsequently
taken to the medical college inlirmary, and
medical aid procured. At last accounts
he had somewhat improved. The skull
bone is supposed to be not fractured, but
the injury is very severe, and may prove
fatal, '

SHOOTING ScRAPE AT CARRIERS
SPRINGs.-W. b. Rose, son of Lysander
w. Rose, who resides on Brook turnpike,
near this city, was shot yesterday by a
young man named Blackburn. The affair
occurred at Carter's Springs, on the Meadow
Bridge road, in Henrico county, and re-
suited from difficulty about swing,
erected by Rose for the use of the ladies',
but which was occupied by Blackburn.
After angry words had passed between
them about the swing, Blackburn went off,
but subsequently meeting Rose, shot him
with pistol, the ball entering the thigh
some distance above the knee, and taking a
downward course, making painful though
perhaps not dangerous flesh wound.
The doctors were unable to find the ball.
MIR. Rose was with private picnic party
at the Springs, and is an inoifensive young
man. We are told that Mr.. Blackburn
was not an invited guest, but was treated
with due consideration by the party during
the day. lie has been in the employ of a
Mr.. Tyree. He was at once arrested by a
county constable, and placed in the county
Jail.

The Composition of the City School Board.
RICHMOND, VA, July 5, 1872.


A somewhat remarkable communication
appears in the Dispatch Of this morning,
complaining of the religious character OF
the present members of the Board of
Education. | believe the writer is sim
cere in his expressions of ignorance upon
the subject, and as he desires some
information, | propose to give it to him.
Your correspondent once had occasion
to complain of the men who were selected
to fill this delicate and responsible position,
but did not care fig for their religious
sentiments. My objections were more Sc
rious and less sectarian.
The writer in the Dispatch asks the fol-
lowing question is this the result of
accident or elaboration? answer, it is
the result of cool, calm deliberation on the
part of partizan members of the City Coun-
Gil, who preferred that POLITICS AND NOT
BRAINS should qualify men to constitute
the board of education of this city.
What true friend of education is there,
who would not prefer men of wisdom,
learning, experience, and who have shown
by their acts.that they feel deep interest
in the cause of education, mo matter what
their religion to rag merchants, rum sell
lers, &c., incompetent and with too little
brains to enable them to wIte correctly the
simplest English sentence but who are
chosen because of their political works ?
And yet the City Council has done this
very thing, and when complaint was made,
in your paper, at the time of the formation
of this board, on account of the incompe-
tency of many of its members, the action
of the Council was warmly defended by
one or more of the Conservative papers
here.
If the writer Of the letter in the Dispatch,
who take it is member of some denom-
nation not fully represented, would favor
justice in political as in religious matters,
he might find many other subjects equally
liable to criticism and condemnation, but as
the Conservatives of Richmond are immacu-
late and never do wrong, "a large major
ity of the people Of Richmond must be
satisfied with all they do or go to.
Quite number of Conservative fowls
will some day return to roost, much to the
annoyance OF "a large majority of the peo-
pie Of Richmond" Yours,
METHODIST.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Hon. John j. Davis, member Of Con-
gress from the First district of West Vir-
ginia, refuses to throw up his hat foa Gree
ley. He says the delusive and dangerous
cries of anything to win," or anybody
to beat somebody else," constitute no part
of his political creed. .~#sta a
1t was a common remark among the
colored delegates at Philadelphia I" If Mr..
Greeley had had his way, the Southern
states would have been suffered to go out
of the Union, and we should still have been
in slavery" Could fewer words express
the average estimate of Mr.. Greeley's un-
trustwortbiness ? r@".
- Alexander II. Stephens publishes Sc
lections from one hundred and fourteen
Democratic papers, which oppose Greeley,
and says: ''It will be seen that the desire
to preserve the integrity of the party is
confined to no section but permeates the
whole Union, and that the persistent boasts
of the friends of Greeley that but few Dem
ocratic papers oppose his election, are with
out foundation.
The Philadelphia Press is undoubted-
ly correct when it says: "No Republican
can support Greeley and still remain Re-
publican. General Grant has been unani-
mously, fairly and enthusiastically nomi-
mated. He represents the vital and essen
tial principles of the party, and has at his
back not only the organization, but also the
masses--ninety-nin hundredths--of its
voters, white and black. Under these cir
cumstances there can be no cause for un-
certainty Or wavering." .a.
The Holden Enterprise, one of the old :
oct Yauypraporc in Iohpcon aouptu MicSnp-
ri, made its appearance Wednesday, with
the names of Grant and Wilson flying at
the mast-heap. 1t has, heretofore, been
| toward Conservatism. In making the an
neuncement the editor says that men of
| foresight in the Democratic party, whose
candor will permit the avowal, honestly
confess the disruption Of the grand old
party, and that the Republican platform
contains every vital principle necessary to
the complete work of regeneration, aus
piciously begun and happily conducted by
this Administration. .rpa .a
/ Alexander III. Stephens has been telling
| little story to a Georgia Democrat, who
expressed willingness to take anybody tC
beat Grant. 1t ran in this wise: "Your
course, and the course of others with you, in
jumping from Grant to Greelev, is not I'M
like that of the monkey with the fiddle on
the cone of a house. AT each draw of the
bow he jumped back, startled at the squeak
| ing sound, continuing to draw, and jumping
back at each squeak, he finally reached the
end of his row, and at his last draw of the
bow he made his last backward jump, and
falling heels over head, broke his neck. Sc
you, and others, in jumping from thu
squeaking of Grant music, are likely {
make fatal jump, which will land you al
with broken necks on the hard ground o
| Greeley below"

DIFFICULTY ON BROAD STREET.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock officers
+. II. Hicks and G. G. Gregory were re-
quested by lady to go to her house and
kill mad dog. The officers accompanied
the lady and did as requested, Mr.. Hicks
shooting the dog and killing him with his

were accosted by Mr.. A. Hutzler, of No.
BOG Broad street, who wanted to know why
they had killed his dog, and proceeded to

ted, and general fight seems to have taken
place. M. and Isaac Hutzler beating the
officers, especially Mr.. Hicks, pretty badly.

FOUND DEAD.--Yesterday afternoon a
man by the name of Archer Warren was
found dead in his house, 404 Webster
street. Coroner Trent viewed the body,
and ascertained that the deceased was last
seen on Monday. There was no evidences
of foul play, and it is thought that he died
of heart disease. The body was in such a
state of putrefaction that it was impossible
to hold an inquest, and it was ordered to
be inferred at once. Mr.. Warren was a
mechanic, and was about Ga year old.

REFORM AT MOUNT VERNoN.-Col.
Nell. Hollingsworth, of Georgetown, re-
Gently appointed superintendent Of the
Mount Vernon estate, is an intelligent and
energetic gentleman, of strict business
habits and unquestioned integrity, and UNI
der his supervision the public may expect
speedy and thorough reform of the alleged
abuses under the recent management, which
gave rise to SO much scandal and bad feel
ing. He has taken hold with vigor and as an
earnest of what may be expected from him,
has already, we understand, dispensed with
the service of the three female secretaries.
As the accounts might very well be kept
in a small sized memorandum book, and
the correspondence is not large, it is not
believed the interests of the estate will sui
fer greatly from this reduction of force
Other reductions in the pay roll, by Topping
Oft slnecures, have been made, we hear,
effecting very considerable saving in that
direction. AS it has been currently report
ed that some of the female officers who
lived with their families on the estate had
the names of members of said families on
the pay rolls, whose duties were not very
strictly defined and were certainly not very
arduous, 1t Is to be presumed that the new
superintendent will look into the matter, If
he has not already done so, as he has the
requisite nerve to apply the pruning knife
where required. Colonel Hollingsworth is
a Marylander, but well known in this Dis
trict, having resided in Georgetown for
long time. He was for many years collec-
tor OF the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at the
Georgetown Office Washington Star.
