TRANSPORTATION IN BOND.
Important Questions ON the Subject
kubmiitsd TO the United states
AftOrBey.GenerRI by the See
retary of the Treasury,

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The secre-
tary of the tree sury, in view of the pro-
tests receiv hOm Chicago, Milwaukee.
Cincinnati and st. L )uis against the de-
cisiOn OF the department, under the re-
vised statutes, that the voyage Of impOT-
tatiOn terminates on arrival within the
limits of port of entry with intent to
| unload, and against its action resulting
as q necessary consequence Of that de-
cisiOn, suspending damage allowances
at interior ports upon 8 constructive
voyage Of importation terminating at
the interior port, has been submitted to
the attOTney-geneTal with the following
questions
First-Whethert the act of July IA, 1870,
relating to the immediate transporta-
tiOn in bond abTOgates the distinction
previously existing between ports on the
seabOard and interior ports, so as to re-
cOgniZe or allow q continuous voyage of
importation, terminating at such inte-
Tior ports and attaching to merchandise
thus imported the privileges as well as
liabilities formerly confined to importa-
tiOns at seabOard ports, notwithstanding
such merchandise is by express terms Of
said act to be entered at port of first ar
rival, and Notwithstanding it must also,
from the nature of the case, be unladen
at that port?
SecOnd-Whether the act OF July IA,
1870, abrogated the distinction previous
ly existing between an allowance for
damage incurred on the voyage of i'm
pOrtatiOp and that incurred by fire or
other casualty while in transitu under
bond as provided in the act Of March 2S,
1854?
Third - Assuming that each
might be deemed true con-
struction OF said act of July
IA, 1870, e3 independent legislation,
what different effect, if any, results from
the concurrent ntTe-enactment in the revis-
ed statutes of the act or parts of the acts
conflicting Herewith as hereinbefOre
referred tO2
FOurth-Whether merchandise im-
ported at New York prior to the passage
of the tariff act OF March 8, 1875, but
arriving under the immediate tr8nspOr-
tation bond without appraisement aG in
terror ports subsequently, to that date is
liable to an increase of duties provided
for by that act?
These queries here suggested are not to
be deemed categorical or in any sense
limiting the expressions OF your views in
the premise, but only suggestive, ii be
ing the desire OF this department that
you will consider the subject in broad
and comprehensive manner to the end
that a just and exact administration of
the law may be effected.

Des Arc Citizen: Mr.IJ. w. Harvey,

few days since few pieces OF silver
and small diamond in the rough, which
wss part of a Treasure he found buried
few Uays before. He says he was out
at work in the woods with his ak, and
in examining tree, observed the let
ters ~. c." cut upon it. A sunkeD
place in the ground, near the tree, al
tracted his attention, and putting the
two facts together, the idea struck him
that something might have been buried
beneath the sunk place. So an excava-
tiOn was made, and a jar, containing
nearly three gallons Of silver, and q dia-
mOnd, was the result of the search. The
money counted out little over four
teen hundred dollars. The indications
were that the money had not been
buried but few years.

the eldest daughter Of the Grand Duke of

in 1861, during the aE-ence of her hus-
band in Bavaria, to take her life, by a
student named Donicios, in which af-
fair she behaved with great GOODNESS and
courage. She quilted Athens in 1882,

Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, May 24.-General
Sherman's book, or rather extracts pub
lished from it have excited great deal
of interest and talk in Washington City.
Its temper, character, and untruthful-
ness are widely and severely denounced.
To-day the first formal reply is made, in
letter by Hon. Montgomery Blair, who
comes to the defense of the reputation of
his brother, General F. P. Blair, now
living almost at desth's door. Mr.. Blair
docs not mince his words, and his re-
view is exceedingly caustic. He says {:
Gan who know Sherman know his en-
viOus nature, and his book would be un-
like anything else he had done if it did
not reveal this" The giving Halleck
credit for the Tennessee campaign is,
Mr.. Blair says, a thrust at Grant, to
whom Sherman owes every
thing. In vindicating General Blair,
the writer obsel yes that he (Gen-
eral Blair had declined the
first brigadier- -generalship which was
rendered in the war by Mr.. Liucoln, and
insisted that it should by given to Cap
tain Lyon, the regular officer whom he
had succeeded in obtaining to command
the troops on that occasion, after apply
ing to Sherman and failing to obtain
his services. The latter declined on
the ground that he had no confidence
in volunteer troops, q principle to
which he steadily adhered, taking
good care never to volunteer any
service to the government or
lift a finger fol- it till commissioned Ps
colonel in the regular army. Mr.. Blair
recalls and narrates several occasions
when the force under his brothers. COM
mand failed to secure the fruits of we'll
fought fields by reason of Sherman's
limidity, and says that "Sherman never
did anything until he came under
Grants immediate command, and had
his nerves steadied by Grants pluck. "
The whole letter is a scorcher, and is
deemed only foretaste Of what General
Sherman has to expect from the people
he has slandered.

Judge Poland retires from congress;
this week with much honor. His posi-
ton during the session just closed, as III
ormer sessions, has been one of labori
Gus work, in which as formerly he has
sustained himself with great ability and
influence. His speech on the Arkansas
question on Tuesday, is spoken of as
very able, the members crowding about
his seat to hear him. His speech is said
TO have been surprise to the house,
and influenced many votes. Judge Po-
land from the first has always acted with
independence as member of congress,
whether in the senate or house, and his
constituents may well feel just pride
in his congressional record.
