WASHINGTON.

WARRINGTON, October 10.-The Com.
missioner Of Internal Revenue will be
very briet In his annual report The late
changes In the law worked so satistac.
torily that no recommendations for i'm.
proyement can be suggested. The reven.
ues from whisky and malt liquors are
largely increased.
The amounts realized from tobacco are
90 per cent beyond calculation. The
troubles with the brewers will be left 10
Congressional action. The present uni.
form tax on tobacco has been found to
work especially favorable.
The Treasury Department received TO-.
day, by express, Cuban flag from the
privateer Pioneer, forwarded BY the cap.
tain OF the Moccasin, which captured the
Cuban vessel.
A board has been ordered by the Sec.
retary OF the Treasury 10 convene In this
city, on the 9th Of November, for the ex.
animation OF officers Of the Revenue

Steamboats,, having examined evidence
In the case OF the steamer Oceauus,
reports that no action seems to be re.
quired, in view OF the fact that the boat
was burned to the waters edge and sunk
In thirty feet Of water. All her licensed
officers were drowned except the chief
engineer, who was exonerated from all
blame. The immediate cause Of the ex.
plosion was conclusion, caused by the
boat striking bar.
Mr. Rogers, supervising inspector Of
New Orleans, who conducted the investi.
cation, presents valuable information in
regard TO the subject Of boiler explosions
on western rivers, and the means for their
prevention. The first general cause sta.
ted Is the accumulation OF a mud sedi.
ment in boilers, causing the fire surfaces
to be burned, thus weakening the strength
Of the plates. The second general cause as
stated Is the strain due to the change in
the bearing Of the boiler, resulting from a
change in the forms Of western boats,
caused by loading and unloading. The
subject will engage official attention.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has au-
thorized the Assistant Treasurer and
United States repositories to commence
the payment oi the interest maturing No
vember 1st, on Monday the 2lst, without
rebate.

lowing postmasters: Benz. G. Sleeps,

The Conversational Election.

To the Editors OF the lntellIgencer:
AS there has been a great deal said
and no small amount Of feeling among q
class OF our citizens about the action OF
the Board ol Supervisors In refusing to
order their Clerk to issne poll books for q
second election for Congressman in this
district on the cath, and as q good deal Of
feeling has been expressed against US, we
thought it proper to ask the advice Of the
Attorney General on the subject. But as
the President Of the Board had telegraph.
cd him and Jailed to get an answer, the
following telegram was sent to Gov. ]. J.

As the matter Is so complicated that even
the Governor throws the responsibility
upon us, and being anxious TO allay, so far

V A correspondent Of the New York
Sun, writing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
under date of July 26th, says:
The statements Of Senator Doolittle
made to a Sun reporter some time since
regarding the States Of the Northwest are
not at all exaggerated. Each day makes
it more evident that the three upper States,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, will
cast their electoral votes for the good DR..
Greeley. With regard to this State Of
Wisconsin, it is certain that it has never
before experienced such political activity.
1t has proportionately as many leading
and influential Republicans opposed to
Grant as any State in the Union, while it
IS utterly impossible to keep the run of
changes that are taking place in tho rank
and file. Among the most distinguished
Republican supporters of DR.. Greeley are
the Hon. S. Hastings, Judge A. Scott
Sloan, Senator Brown, of Buffalo county,
the Hon. Chas. Burchard, of Dodge, ex-
senator Clement, of Racine.
