nodore, and will join the Ticonderoga about the
LIST Of December. at Norfolk, and proceed first to
Sierra Leone by way of the Canary and Madeira
islands, thence to other portions of Africa. and
perhaps Asia. The object Of his cruise being the
promise Of commerce and American influence in
unfrequented parts of the world, where we are not
represented.
Revenue Affairs.
Commissioner Raum in his forthcoming annual
report will oppose the proposed reduction on to-
bacco from twenty four 70 eighteen cents per ID,
for two reasons: First, because in the present
low state Of the revenues, from this source money
cannot be spared; and second, because he eonsid-
ers il as eminently unwise and inexpedient to uu-
settle business interests BY any congressional agi-
taton Of the question.
The 4 Per Cents.
WASHINGTON. November IL. The subscriptions

Cabinet Meeting.
All members Of the cabinet we're present at the
meeting to-day. Several important subjects to be
included in the Presidents message were discus
ed, aud interchange Of opinion occurred concern
ing the alleged violation Of election laws, espec-
i.Iiy IN Lo9'slans, darng ne recent elections.
The United States attorney for that State having
furnished lst of cases showing personal violence
intimidation, etc., the sentiment of the cabinet
was that all such violations of the laws should be
examined with 4 view to the punishment Of the
guilty parties.
Financial.
Secretary Sherman in referring to the rumored
withdrawal of the one and two dollar United
States notes, says that fully year ago the stsry
was started in some paper aud caused an unusual
demand for small bills. The statement WAS I'M
founded Other Than having one years supply of
ones and twos on hand the bureau of eng aving
end printing stopped printing any more till that
supply could be reduced. No order was issued to
the treasurer to limit the issue OF ones and twos,
and they we're issued to every body who demsnd,d
them. After the first Of January NO bills of less
denomination than five dollars can be issued by
National banks, and no doubt if the one and two
dollar United States notes were Withdrawn it
would make place for more silver. The secre-
tsry thinks, however, that the public at large
ought to have option to take gold, silver or paper
Of any denomination coined or printed.
Postal Matters.

each company.
