The London Standard believes the
cabinet has decided to require from all con-
cerned strict and literal observance Of 1.-THE
treaty of Berlin, and that it IS impossible 10
believe that the appeal which it will he Eng
lands duty to make to her cosignatories will
not be attendedto.

increase the duty on wi.es, hides, grain and
somesother articles. The duty on grain is in
tended to compel a commission from Russia,
Austria, Italy and Franco. Other new i'm
ports will be light and designed for light
nancial purposes soley. s

The secretary of the treasury has
opened bids for, supplying 100000 ounces Of
fine silver. recently given, inviting proposals
every week. The offers will not be made pub
lie. No matter whether the bids are accepted
or not. The amount purchased was less than

one fourth to one half . cent below the London

abundant supply for present demands. Deal

torney general, as to the method of comput-
ing taxable capital of national banks:
National banks will hereafter be required in
making up their capital stock subject to tax
alton odeduct not the face value nor the
market value, but the price paid for United
States bonds owned by them, less interest &C.
crued, to date of purchase. In making return
return thereof to this Office, no application
made in conquence of the oppinion in question
for the refunding of any tax upon bank cap
ital heretofore assessed and collected, will be
entertained by this office"
New York telegra: There was consider
able furry in Wall street on account of the
sudden crushing decline in Western Onion
telegraph stocks. Tho selling movement,
which in thirty minutes drove the price down
from $l.O2 to 961a cents, is said to be caused
!,y published details regarding the proposed
capitalization of stock. 1t is claimed that this
policy is approved by VIM. H. Vanderbilt.
Sam Mills and H. j. Fowler sold large lots Of
Western Uoion on the decline. Jay Gould
said the decline caused by the Western Union
was wasted or fictitious calls of stock, but
other large operators did not agree with him.
The entire movement of the Western Union
stocks is considered the result Of sharp man
ipulation of rumors. a. .,.

Of the Society OF the Army of the Tennessee,
preceded by music, left their hotels for the
Metropolitan theatre, which had been pro-
fusely decorated with flags, eyergreens and
floral pieces, with the names of prominent
officers and battles Of t4e army suspended
about the hall. While the audience were be-
ing seated the band played a medley of patriss
otto airs. after which Gen. Sherman called the
meeting to order. Among letters received
! and read was one from Gen. Grant, in which
he notifies Gen. Sherman that he has given up
his trip around the world, and that after a
short run into Africa he will return to Paris
where he will remain until his departure for
home.s Grants name was received with pro
ongeo applause. =. .
Z The Pail Mall Gazette gives the English
view of Secretary Evarts' late Fisheries dis
patch in the following language: That the
United States should choose this precise mo.
ment to publish what seems from the tele-
graphic summary to be rather a threatening
dispatch addressed by Secretary Evarts to
American Minister WEIGH can scarcely be re-
garded as accidental. AL the world can see
we have on our hands just now quite as much
as we can well deal with, and really friend
ly power with grievance like that, whilst
holding to its position, would refrain from
casting the matter in an irritating way be
fore the public until our affairs had assumed
peaceful aspect. At any rate this is what,
according to admirers Of the Alabama arbi:
tration, we might certainly have expected
from America. The truth is that while the
very party with which the bargain was made
still holds Office in the United States, the first
opportunity is seized to make a point against
US Just when it is reckoned that our difficult
ties may force us to give way. Nothing else
was 10 be expected, and for our own part we
are inclined to thank Evarts for teaching our
countrymen that nations generally are more
inclined to forcgo their advantages over one
another in tho nineteenth century than in the
eighteenth, seventeenth, sixteenth or first.
Let sentimentalists blame Evarts, for he has
disappointed them, not US. $500, 81 - -
