Secretary Boutwell, has written the fol-
lowing letter TO the tobacco dealers in New
York:
SRs-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of letter signed by yourself
and other persons engaged in the manufac-
ture Of tobacco, dated July l, in which you
ask me to revise the decision of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue concerning
the storage of manufactured tobacco in
warehouses after lie sixth of June, and
previous to the frs Of July. | have exam
ined the question, and am of the opinion
that the action of tie Commissioner is re-
.quired by the language employed in the
law, and that the ruling accortls with the
purpOrt of the committee of the two houses
charged with the preparation and manage
ment of the bill.
Tobacco moving under transportation
bonds on the sixth of June, when the act
was signed by the President, is not necessa-
Fily subject to the old rate Of duty, as by
the ruling of the Commissioner it may be re-
turned to the place of manufacture, or held
by the collector of the district to which the
consignment was made until the first of
July, and then gwen up to the owners or
consignee upon the payment of duty at the
rate fixed by the new law. This ruling of
the Commissioner appears to me to relieve
persons engaged in the trade of all ground
for complaint, except what may arise from
the general purpose of the law, which is
manifest in abOlishing the warehouse sys-
tenn. Very respectfully,
GEORGE S. BOUTWELL,.
Secre tary.
The President was interviewed by the
attaches to-day. The details of the cere-
mOny presented no new features whatever.
The President leaves tonight for Long
Branch.
The weather has been intensely hot to-

William Birney has been appointed re-
ceiver of public moneys, and Henry A.
Harmon register of the land office for the
