Mr. Sargent left for New York tast evening, and will retarn on Saturday. Mr. H. A.

Secretary Bout- ‘well has decided that the new building shall be of granite, although strong influence was brought to bear upon bim to build it of mar- bie, which is far more expensive than granite. A NoveL Case UxDER THE INcOME-TAX Law.—The Shaker community of New Leba- nop, Obio, having made the ‘ome return collectively, amounting to *36,00, from which they claim & deduction of $4,000, (1,000 for each member of the community,) the question ‘was submitted to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue as to their right to claim such deduc- tion, the retarn having been made as from one person. The Uorimissioner decided that a de- duction of $1,000 only can be allowed, and not one thousand on each person, as if the returns had been made to the Collector by each indi- vidual. This is a reversal of the old decision, which allowed the deduction on account of each covenanting member of the community. A QuEstion or Naval DisctrLing.—Tne naval court martial which convened at the navy yard to-day for the trial of Surgeon Green, of the United States steamer Nipsic, on & charge of disobedience of orders, attracts more than ordinary attention, as it involves, indirectly, the questions at difference between the line and staff officers of the navy. The specifications of the charge against Surgeon Green allege that he declined to put a satior on.duty who Rad been on the sick list, wi Commander Selfridge, of the Nipsic, ordered him todoso. Emisent counsel has been en- gaged on both sides. The defendant is repre- sented by David Paul Brown, of Philadelphia, and ex-District Attorney Wilson, of this Dis- trict. STRENGTHERING THB CREDIT OF THE Gov- BREMENT.—The purchase of five-tweaty bonds by the Secretary of the Treasary bas bad the effect of increasing their value fully two per cent. since the purchase began.

Secretary Bowtwen on Friasy last issued a circalar ich we pub ished a: the time) te the effect hereafter the exchange of all gold-vearing bonds beld for circulation security will be permitted on the basis Reretofore adopted, that is for ten-forty bonds, eighty-five per cent ; all other gold-bearing six per cent. bonds, ninety per cent. of their par value. As the tota; amount of the ten-forties issued is but #19i,- 567,300, and over one-balf of these are on de- posit at the Treasury t, the demand, im case the National Banks should go into the market to purchase, would make the tef-forties more valuable than the five-twenties, and the consequence has been that in anticipstion of the movement the tea-forties have increased nearly one and one-half per cent. sce Fridey Isst, and not a single application bas yet been filed tor an exchange.
