War Department Order.
The Secretary of War has directed that here
after no officer of the army be detailed at COL
lege or university for longer period than three
years, and that the limit fixed be applied to
the officers now detailed.
Tonnage Tax Decision.
The Attorney General has rendered decis-
ion that the revised statues of the United
States do not materially change the rule exist
ing previous to their passage relating to col
lection OF tonnage tax on American and for
eign vessels in ports of the United States. He
is OF the opinion that the law requires the pay
ment OF the tax once within one year, by every
vessel entering from any foreign port. Vessels
from or to Mexico, the Sandwich Islands, the
Society Islands, the British Provinces of North
America, and which heretofore paid tax under
different ruling, are embraced in the rule as
above stated, which renders uniform the col
lection OF dues, aud will obviate the cause of
complaints formerly made concerning the ine-
quality of the tax.

VERMONT ELECTION.
Old Time Republican Majority Main
tained.

Old Time Republican Majority Main
tanned.
MONTPELIER, Sept. 2-Returns are still
coming in slowly but enough is known to indi-
cate the election of Judge Peck. (Rep.) by the
usual Vermont majority, after allowing tor the
lighter vote. The House will be overwhelm-
ingy Republican, and the Senate nearly
the same. One hundred and ten towns return
81 Republicans to the Legislature to "a Demo-
erats there being no choice in five. The vote
for Governor,in 118 towns stands Peck 20,004,
Bingham 8501. In 1872 the vote in the same
towns was for Converse "a, 636 and for Yeaton,
dem. 1O.5l3 The contest in the I'd Congress
SIGNAL district has been very hot, and results in
the defeat of Judge Poland. The boilers mainly
supported D. G.. Dennison (Rep.) but their
advice to their followers was to vote for any
body to draw votes from Po'and. The exact
result of the ballot of yesterday as far as heard
from in AZ towns out Of 80 is as follows:
POLAND 1852, Dennison (Rep:) 525l, Daven
port (Dem.) 1900, scattering 5S4; In 1872 the
vote in the same towns stood thus, Poland
1866, Steele (bolter) $780, Davenport (Dem
1872. scattering 245 1t will be seen that the
vote for Judge Poland has fallen OH 5H4 or
half since 1872, and Dennison's vote compared
to that of Steele in 1872 has gained III. In
1872 Poland led Steele in these towus 5436, and
this year Dennson leads Poland 1879.
RUTLAND, Vt, Sept. 2.-The returns are
being received very slowly. The vote is lighter
than that of 1872. Peck, the Republican can
didate for Governor, has probably received but
little less mojorty than that of Converse in
the last election, which was about $1,000.
Coalitions were effected in several of the larger
towns of the state by the opponents of the
prohibitory liquor law and the Democrats,
which resulted in the election of town Demo
cratic representatives. This is notably the case
10 Rutland and Burlington, both of which give
an increased Republican majority on the state
ticket over the vote of 1872 Chas. HI. Joyce is
elected to Congress from the First District by a
large majority. In all, out of q towns heart
from, his majority stands 5S4, which will prob
ably be increased at least 1900

WEEK ENDING Sept. 2, 1874.
Business last month did not come up to what it
was IN August of last year, though many branches
of trade have been fairly prosperous. The situation
is decidedly more promising, and indications
that September will be q busy month. Trade has
been moderately active during the past week. But
few changes are noticed in price current. The
money market is still easy and unchanged. Gold
has lowered in the neighborhood of 1904, closing on
Wednesday, Sept. Q, at 1903.
Apples have advanced, and now bring So 1894 90.
Beans show change in mediums, quoted at 81 90.
Butter Is higher the best family grades command
ing 33935c. Cheese is firm at 13915c. Coal is quiet
Coffee exhibits a tendency to advance Copper is
without change. Cordage is quiet. Drugs show an
advance in alcohol, now quoted at so 1902 80, and
decline in opium, which brings only 80 5000 10.
Dry goods show many signs of activity, and fine
tall trade is opening up. Duck is in good demand
for Portland manufactures. Fish show consdera-
bic activity, with lower prices for mackerel on &C
count of large receipts cod higher Flour is be-
ginning to look up, though movement as yet is slow.
Grain is and very firm at CSC for corn 9Oc for
meal Csc for oats Iron exhibits but little change,
though it is moving in sluggish way. Lard is firm
at tic for kegs and Isle for caddies. Lead is dull.
Leather is moderately active. Lime is unchanged.
Lumber is still very dull. Molasses shows consider
able movement and there is an advance OF &c in
Sagua. Nails are unchanged. Naval stores are
quiet and without change. Oils exhibit lower quo
tations in kerosene and iuseed kerosene brings
but 171c and Portland refined but 124 lnseed is
quoted at s2@s3c tor crude and s79Ssc for refined.
Paints are without change. Produce is still active;
potatoes bring 4OSo5Oc, and silver skin onions SIG
so. Provisions quiet and steady, but there are
indications of another upward turn. Salt is with
out change. Spices are UNCHANGED. Sugars ex-
hibt an advance of an eighth; the demand is act
i've, as the season is drawing to Close Tin shows
decline in terne now quoted at S11 259i3 90. Wool

There is q steady demand for all kinds of Wool aud
buyers are more anxious to secure desire lots than
for previous weeks. The new clip of fleece Wool
is passing rapidly into the hands of consumers and
at the present rate OF consumption, stock must be-
come exhausted much earlier than for many years.
In New York there has been rather more demand
since our last but the market cannot yet be called
active Prices are still held with confidence, and in
all probability will continue SO, as stocks OF all kinds
are very moderate.
In Philadelphia the favorable character of the LON
don auction sales has caused more confident feel
ing on the part of holders but the demand has been
extremely light for all grades.

"You visited me at my house and invited a
conversation. was glad to see you, as al
WAYS have been, and my esteem for and trust
in YOU were such that | talked with you very
freely. little thought was on trial before an
editor, and that he was about to pronounce a
sentence upon me, ex-cathedra according to the
supposed result of his investigation. Had L
been aware of that should probably have fol-
lowed great military example and observed a
prudent silence. tou niSh'
have said with truth that 1 was neither a eau
ddate nor an aspirant for any nomination, and
that the independent did not think it useful to
urge any further consideration of my name. l
