OF Customs at San Francisco calls the
attention Of the Secretary OF the Treas
ury TO the subject OF duty on coal. In
view of the bill before the COMMITTEES on
| Ways and Means for amending the tariff.
| He says that In San Francisco during the
last current year 267 900 tons OF coal
were imported, duty 75 cents per ton.
amounting to Sl9i. 900. and to collect
| this sum II cost alone for salaries OF in
speetors and weighsrs S2i. 400 or about
0cents per ton. or nearly Is per cent.
OF duties collected thereon. The duty
ought either to be doubled or erased from
the tariff. A duty Of ons-quartsr per
cent. on either tea or coffee would bring
more revenue to the treasury aud DO
easier OF collection.

did get him out he made things very lively
for the small boys in the neighborhooi. No
damage was done 10 the cattle except few
truises and broken legs. The break was In
the wagon bridge, above the canal, Just over
Georgetown side. It is about so feet In
length. The government inspectors lately
pronounced this bridge unsafe unless re-
paired, but IL il not known that any repairs
have been made since they reported. II q
canal boat had been just going under, or II IL
had been Decoration day, the result might
have been serious. Nowis the time for the
government to buy this bridge, which de-
stroys some of the best wharf property on
Inc Potomac, and erect a substantial free
bridge. There is no reason why the bridge
should be any weaker st the point where the
break occurred than at any other. Tue bridge
will be repaired this evening, SO that travel
can be resumed tomorrow. D.
