In consequence of there being a number of Acts imposing customs duties, the matter is somewhat complicated, and gives much trouble to the officers charged with the execution of the laws, ang to the Department. In view of this fact, the Secretary of the Treasury has in. structed the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to give the subject of the revision of the tariff especial attention, and to report a bill which, it approved by Congress, will be a substitute for all acts imposing customs duties, and which will render the administration of thig branch of the revenue system more simple, economical and effective. The Secretary says: “In the discharge of this duty you will consider the necessity of providing fora large, certain and permanent revenue, keeping in view the fact that the ex- isting tariff has proved most effective in this direction. You will therefore endeavor, first, to secure for the Government a revenue com- mensurate with its necessities; and, sec ondly, to propose such modifications to the tariff laws now in force as will better adjast and equalize the duties upon foreign imports with the inter- nal taxes upon home productions. If this last result can be obtained without detriment to the revenue by reducing taxation upon raw materials and the machinery of home produc- tion, rather than by increasing the rates of im- ports, it would, in my opinion, by decreasing the cost of production and increasing the pro- ducing power of wages, greatly promote the interests of the whole country.” a, TBEASURY ITEMs. The disbursements on account of the War, Navy and Interior Departments last week were as follows: War Department. .3564. $234.545: Interior, $474,292; total $1 PR ional currency was received from the Printing Bureau to the amount of $345,500; shipped tonational tanks $36S,SW0; redeemed $307,900, The Government holds securities as follows: For circulation of national banks $33) ,57: for depositories of public monies $33, 4: total $370.062,000.

At three o'clock this a.ternoon, the heads of the Bureaus of the Treasury Department ca!}>d ina body upon the President to tender bim their respects and their congratulations upon bis safe return from his western tour. Among those present were Hon. John Wil- son, Third Auditor; Treasurer Spinner; Com. missioner Sargent, of the Customs; Commis- sioner Rollins, of the Internal Revenue; Audi- tors French, Tabor, Smith, and Walker; Acting Comptroller of the Treasury Hulburd; Rk. w. Taylor, First Comptroller; A. W. Smith, Act. ing Second Comptroller; A.B. Mullett, Super- vising Architect; J. A. Graham, Assistant Register; and H. A. Risley, Acting Solicitor. Hon. Mr. Wilson addressed the President, congratulating him upon his safe return to the discharge of his official duties. It was a grat- ifying reflection that the President had met with many pleasing incidents on his long tour, and where he met with annoyance it was but from men who were unworthy to bear tne name of Ameriean citizen. In conclusion, Mr. Wilson expressed the hope that under the guicance of the President we weuld again haye a Union of thirty-six States. In reply, President Johnson briefly returned his thanks for the visit and the sentiments ex- pressed, and said he did not doubt that perse- verance in the course which was Pointed out by the Constitution weuld eventually effect a happy adjustment of the country’s difficulties. The Presideni then shook hands with the gen- tlemen present, and they withdrew, ce Ans cannes antes reigns SECBETABY SEWARD. The Secretary of State arrived in this city on Saturday, at2.45 p.m., and being very il) was at once taken to his residence. The special train in which he came on, was in charge of Major G. S. Kountz, who accom. panied the Presidential party throughout the tripto Pittsburg, from which point he came through with Mr. Seward. Up to twelve o'clock to-day, no appreciable change had taken place in the Secretary’s condition, but we trust that in our next issue we will be able to report a deciaed cbange for the better, as the loss of this great stutesman’s services to the country even temporarily at this juncture of National affairs, will be deplorable. His ill- ness has been the oecasion of grief to thousand, of bie friends throughout the country, who will watch the progress of the disease which has attacked him with anxious solicitude. P.S.—Weare happy wo say that since writing the above there is a perceptible change for the better in the condition of Mr. Seward, though he is not deemed entirely out of danger. THE NEXT Berth YoRNNSYLVANIA The present New York State delegation stands twenty-one Republicans to ten Con- servatives. The districts in which the Admin- istration can hope to make gains are the Third, Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Eighteenth: and Twenty-first. The New York Commercial (republican) thinks the Conservatives may gain six mem- bers in the State, but may lose one in Orange and Sullivan. In Pennsylvania it is believed that the Con- servetives will gain the 5th district, in which Russell Thayer, radical, had but 278 majority in 1864; the 14th district. in which Miller, radi- eal, bad 517 majority; the 17th district, in which Barker, radical, had 509 majority; and the 13th, in which Wilson, radi: ad ajority.

The mars'sals were all kept busy in arranging the open car. riages engaged for the procession, and in plac- ing Miniature fags on them, as also small shielos with the German coiors—red, yellow and biack. The visitors, inc'uding a large delegation of the Baltimore Association, arrived mostly by the train leaving Baltimore at 7a. m., and were Met at the depot by a commitiee of reception, who escorted them to Kuliman’s, where a lunch was parteken of. The visitors were then escorted tothe City Hall, where, in the Court Room, the Washingion Association was drawn up in line to receive them. The visitors arranging themselyes on the opposite side of the room, Captain Kloman, President of the Washington Association, addressed them as follows: Dear Brothers: In the name of the Washing- ton Target Association 1 bid youa hearty wel- come, and thank you for coming im such large numbers to celebrate with us our festival. We intend to do everything in our power to make this festival as —- to you as possible, so that when you leave us you may fook-back on it as one to be remembered the balance of your lives. My friends, let this festival be com- menced in cheerfulness and harmony, and true German happiness; let it be a link which will bind us, the representatives of the German element of Baltimore and Washington, in the closest bonds of friendship. Now, gentlemen, I will not detain you longer, as1 know you are anxious to arrive upon the ground, where we shall compete in friendly rivalry for the honors; and let me, in conclusion, again ex- tend to you &@ hearty welcome. (Major Biumenberg, the Hauptman or Cap- tain of the Baltimore Association, briefly re- sponded, thank.ng the Wasbingtonians for the welcome extended, and assuring them that they would do all in their power to make their association in the festival productive of good feeling, and he thought if the faces of his men showed anyone feeling above another it was one of determination to add to the pleasure of the fesi:val. Im conclusion, in behalf of the Baltimore Association, he handed Capt. Klo- man a massive silver goblet, remarking that it was a present trom the Baltimoreans, and hoped that it would be received asa token of good will and friendship. Mayor Wallach, who was present, also ad- dressed the visitors, welcoming them to the city. and assuring them, from his knowledge of the Germans of this city, that their hospi- tality is not exceeaed by any other community in the country. He would, he hoped, be par- doned for speaking in such high terms of the Germans of this city, when they consider that many of the members of the association had been his friends from boyhood.
