General News Summary.
FROM WASHINGTON.
In the case Of Wilton Is. State of Missouri
the United States Court has decided that the
State cannot compel peddler to pay license
for selling articles produced in other States,
on the ground that it is q tax upon the goods
themselves, discri mination against the
products of other States and is in conflict
with that clause Of the Federal Constitution
which declares that Congress shall have the
power to regulate commerce with foreign ma
tons and among the several States.
In a recent letter to New York member of
Congress Treasurer New states that so per
cent. of the legal-tender notes and fractional
currency sent to the department in Washing
ton for redemption are unmutilated and fit
for circulation, and he reiterates the terms of
a previous circular in which it was stated
that in no case would the Government pay
the charges upon such notes or currency sent
for redemption when the same are fit for cir
culation or when the same are sent in disre-
gard Of the regulations, but the expenses of
such redemptions will be deducted from the
returns made therefor.
In his letter to Senator Gordon, asking for
the removal Of his political disabilities, Gen.

sire Of his friends in New Orleans.
WASHINGTON dispatch Of the Goth says
the " real objection to Pinchback's admission
to the Senate at present is the question
whether there is de jure Government in
Louisiana. Until this question is settled by
the Committee on Privileges and Elections
Pinchback will no. succeed in obtaining the
vote of the Senate. Should Gov. Kellogg ap-
point a new man, the latter would stand in no
better position than Pinchback."
COPIES of the correspondence between
Secretary Fish and Minister Cushing and
other foreign Ministers of the United States
were transmitted by the President to the
House of Representatives on the 21st. The cor
respondence chiefly consists in a transcript
OF the note to Mr.. Gushing, the tone of which
does not materially differ from that of that
part of the Presidents message relative to
the Cuban question. Nothing is given of
the replies received from European Govern
ments to the advisory circular forwarded by
Secretary Fish, and no allusion is made to
any correspondence with the Spanish Govern
ment direct since Nov. 5, 1875, the date of the
note to Mr.. Gushing.
