WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80 "A representative OF
the Internal Revenue Office has been sent to
Beaufort, South Carolina, within day or two
for the purpose of attending to theinteresss
of the government in the sale Of valuable Sea
Island cotton lands in that vicinity. which
have been ordered in consequence of the nom
payment of direct taxes.
It is probable that if the lands in question
will not bring Q proper price, the internal
eminent. The sale will take place either to-
morrow or Friday next
WASHINGTON, Doc 30.-The committee oon-
sisting vi ID. D. Pratt, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue; d. ". Mahon, First Auditor;
j. H. Robinson, Assistant Solicitor of the
Treasury, and John w. Porter, Acting Chief
Clerk Of the Treasury Department, submitted
their report to the Secretary of the Treasury
Yesterday, in the matter Of the Witowski and
Sugg Fort claims The committee find both
claims fictitious and fraudulent, and that they
were passed through the Offices of the Third
Auditor and Second Controller without such
ex animation a. the law requires that the
Third Auditor and Messrs. James F. Allen
and the Second Controller, his deputy, Mr..
Curtis, and Mr.. Jno. G. Wilson, clerk in his
office, had failed to give such claims the
proper examination, and are therefore charge
able with cuipable negligence
The Secretary submitted the report to the
President this morning, and on his return to
the department showed it to Messrs. Broad
head, Rutherford aud Curtis, who promptly
agreed to tender their designations. The re-
port was also shown to the three clerks above
named, who will sever their relations with the
department in a like manner.
Controller BroaGhead has been in office q
long time. Third Auditor Allen G. Ruther-
ford was appointed from North Carolina about
three years ago.
To view of the labor and hazard incurred
bv the Treasurer Of the United States, and
other independent treasury officers by the
receipt and collection of drafts and checks
received by them from the national banks,
public officers, and other parties having pay
ments to make into the Treasury, the Score
tary has advised these officers that he thinks
it better they should receive in all official
transactions only the lawful and proper
moneys of the United States as provided by
law and regulations hereunder.
This will prevent national banks from pay
ing their semi-annual duties; banks and other
parties from paying for fractional currency
and collectors Of internal revenue making de-
| posts in the offices mentioned by means Of
drafts and checks, thus doing away with q
practice which seems 70 have crept into gov.
eminent transactions without any special an
thority OF law or regulations, and which has
become burden to the officers who volunta-
rily undertook to collect for parties the checks
and drafts transmitte tor the purpose Of
making the payments mentioned.

gentleman Of this city that his State will pre-
sent his name 10 the National Democratic
Convention in 1875 as the nominee for Vice

CLOSING WEEK OF THE GREAT SALE.
public are again reminded that the great
bankrupt sale Of the Messrs. Montgomery,
which has been progressing at 100 Canal
street, is now in its last week. The many bar.
gains in silks, alpacas, linens, cloths. ETC.,
purchased at this commodious establishment
for the past few weeks has been immense, and
all are delighted with this rare opportunity
that has been afforded them for doing SO
The time now is short for other purchases,
and should be improved at once by all those
in want of the especial attractions offered by
this house, and at prices fifty per cent below
their actual value.

LICENSES.
RATHER SERIOUS CHARGE THAT SHOULD B.
INVESTIGATED.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 80, 1875.
Editor n O. Bulletin:
Dear Sri have observed that since a
series of years the greater part of the large
floats dong the hauling in this city have no
license attached, and consequently it must be
supposed that the owners OF such vehicles do
not pay any license Anybody that goes on
the levee, or any street near the levee, such
as Peters, Tchoupitoulas, etc., and looks at
the passing vehicles for about twenty minutes,
will observe:
l. That out of twenty large floats. doing
the hauling on good paved streets, there is
about one only that has the license mark for
the current year attached thereon.
2. That nearly all the drays owned by poor
men, who do most of the hauling in the back
part of the city, where the unpaved and bad
streets exist, have the license mark duly at
tached.
Now, dear Editor, we live in Common
wealth where all citizens are equal before the
law, or a: least supposed to be SO, and if 50.
how can there exist privileged class of peo-
pie doing business without paying any
licenses?
Yours, respectfully, OBSERVER.

ADJUSTMENTS. .

4 The VARIETIES THEATER = The beautiful
play of .. Damon and Py,hias was performed
last evening of this theater, with Mr.. John
cCul,ough in the role of Damon. The play
lisa very strong one. and appeals directly to
the nobler sentiments of the heart, with
language fervent and tender. The character
of Damon affJrded Mr.. Mccullough ample
scope for the display of his great talent, and
his rendition was marked by rare exhibition
of powersnd feeling, rendering It one OF the
most effsQiiSa characrerizations in his roper
toire. The manly character that scorns life
at the sacrifice of plighted faith, and seeks
death in preference to life, even through dis
honor, was splendidly Interpreted by this fine
actor, and We recognize it as one Of the most
emphatic successes we have seen for long
time on our stage.
The last scene was particularly excellent,
aud won deserved applause from the au-
dience.
This evening Mr.. Mccullough will take his
farewell benefit, wheE "Romeo and Juliet "
will be performed, with the aid of Mrs. Chan
frau. At Saturdays matinee ssThe Lady Of
Lyons will be presented, with Mr.. McCul-
Tough and Mrs. Chanfrau in the leading
characters.
On Saturday evening Mr.. Mccullough will
terminate his engagement with the famous
drama of "Jack Cade."
ST, CHARLES THEATER.-Lotta continues to
attract large audiences at this theater with
her excellent play of "Musette," which will
hold the boards for the remainder Of the
week As the engagement of this little lady
is fast drawing to close, we trust all who
enjoy the amusing and entertaining style OF
drama will pay her a visit while they yet have
the opportunity. ss.
The regular Saturday matinee will be given
tomorrow at noon.
The ACADEMY OF MUs1C.-The "Ice Witch, "
with all it's beautiful scenery, gorgeous mount
iugs, fine CORPS of speciality artists, etc, still
remains the attractive feature at this house.
We would end avor to impress upon the pub
lie the fact that the Segrist children, in their
astonishing feats, are the most wonderful per-
formers that have ever visited our city; also
the St. Felix troupe, and host of others
all go to make mp a bill such as can not fail to
please all beholders.
At the matinee on New Years day, Manager
Bidwell will give away three magnificent
ladies prizes, consisting, first, of an elegant
gros-grain silk dress, In which there are
twenty yards. Second, very beautiful
enameled locket, on the face of which is in
laid very pretty cross of pearls. The third
prize is handsome ladies' pearl ring. The
prizes will fall to those who shall be so for.
tunate as to be the possessors of the numbers
drawn. Next Sunday the famous Yankee
Locke will open short engagement

RING THE BELLS.
MERRY CHIMES FOR THE NEW YEAR.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 80, 1875
Editor New Orleans Bulletin: ~
Having noticed in the dispatches to the
papers OF the last few days, that preparations
were being made in several of the Northern
cities to ring bells and fire guns on the death
of the old year and birth Of the new, ! ad'
dress you to know if the proper authorities in
our city can not do the same
The firing OF guns can be dispensed with,
as it would put the city to some expense, and
she can't very well afford luxuries at the pres
emit time, but We could have the bells Tung
and as the fast dying year has witnessed
part restoration to the people Of their rights
it is but fair that they should be rung merri
ly, merrily tonight at IL o'clock. Yours.

Bristow is master of the situation, and
Grant, as we'll as the Republican leaders, can
not fail to realize that disagreeable truth. His
company is not wanted in the Cabinet, but a
quarrel that would drive him out Of the
Treasury might drive him into the White
House, and that is the last thing desired by
either the President or his advisers.

ICE YACHTING ON THE HUDSON.

The young folks who dwell on the classic
exciting pleasure OF sailing in ice boats, or
Yachts on skates. In spite of polar waves
and all the power of the Frost King, those
who take delight in sailing on that river in
spripg. summer and autumn, are not to lose
their sailing parties. Formerly, and not
many years ago. ice sailing was limited to
planks with skate-rons attached, with a
single sail of rude construction, capable of
running only before the wind. Now elaborate
and costly craft are employed One OF these
is described as follows:
She is sloop-rigged, and built of clean
white pine, the side pieces being cased vito
black walnut, ornameIted with gilt beading;
the center keeson is strengthened with a
black walnut truss; the deck is OF narrow,
closely jointed strips OF red cedar and spruce,
while the ironwork throughout Is all hand
somely nickel plated. Ia every particular
this is as fine specimen Of Hudson River
ice yacht as can be built.
The dimensions of this ice yacht, which
has been named Whit. are as follows: length
of boat proper 16 feet inches; length over
all lend of boom to top of bowsprit), Al feet;
width of runner plank, 16 feet; canvas to be
carried, 3l6 square feet.
She is named the Whit, and is intended
for exhibition at the Centennial.
Another cat rugged" ice boat called the
Flyaway is thus described:
The Fiyaway, like the Whit, is built also
Of white pine, with decks of alternate strip:
of black walnut and pine, and she is furnished
with brass mountings, making an elegant and
durable finish. The dimensions OF this, the
queerest OF all the queer ice yachts ever ye
constructed, are as follows: Length, ~ ieet
width of plank, Is feet inches; boom, "a feet
gaff, feet inches; hoist, II feet; spread o.
canvas, 342 square feet.
The friction of the runners of an ice boa
on smooth ice is SO slight that the boat, will
ample sails, skins along the mirrored plane
with speed but little less than that of the
air current which propels it. The boats o
the better class are so constructed aud rigget
as to sail as near to the wind as the best mad
pleasure yachts.
