He was thirty years of age, and last fill was one of the Presi- dential electors on the Seymour ticket. Hon. Thomas L. TULLOCK this morning tendered his resignation of the position of Ap- pointment Clerk at the Treasury Department, ana the same was accepted by Acting Secretary Richardson. No appointment to fill the va- cancy Das yet been made, but Mr. H.S. Van- derbilt, who is now acting, will probably be promoted to Chief of the Bareau. Beous Revenvr Darectiy23.—Complants are received at the Internal Revenue Office daily about bogus deputy marshals and rev. enue detectives im various parts of the coun- try, who black mail person= in the rural dis- tricts. Itis the desire of th» Depariment that these persons b+ arre whenever tound. The legitimate officers always bave their com- missions with them. Drs1RUCTION OF MUTILATED CURRENCY.— Workmen have just snceveded in removing a huge engine from the cellar of the Treasury building, (wes: front.) which was used mainly in furnishing power for ranning the paper mills. The engine has been purchased by a firm in Baltimore, for the sam of $1,250, It is Proposed to pire? in its da macerator by which will be de-troyed al! condemned paper currency.

PRESIDENT GRANT party passed through Reading, Pa., yesterday aiteradoon, in a special train, en route for the Schayliill coal region. The truim stopped about ten minntes at the sta- tion. where the crowd had assembled. The President appeared on the platform in respone> to the en tls, and brielly expressed his satistac- tion with bis visit to that -ection of the State. atter which he underwent « continuous round ct band-shaking util the train moved off Alter inspecting the new Reading railroad Tolling-mill, about a mile above the city, the party proceeded on their journey. TSE RETRENCHNENT COMMITTER OFY THE TRACK.—A private dispatuh received here last evening annonuces that the train on the Gri. cago and North western railroad, to which were attached the three special cars containing the Congressional Retrenchment Committee, m-t with an aecident at Carroll, Iowa, ninety six miles east of Omaba, by which four cars were smashed up. The dispatch states that no one was hurt; that the party was well provided for, but would be delayed twenty-four hours, ‘The statement that the accident occurred on the Union Pacyfic railroad is erroneous. THE Texs# RAILRoaD CasE.—In the the case of N. A. Cawdrey and others vs. the Galyes- and Hewston Railroad and others, Jusice ‘Swayne has made a decree holding the railroad, &c., of the oid company subject to the mortga- gt, and dismissing that part of the complaint ‘which claimed the property of the succ+s:or company, and an individual liability of the defendants. Both parties take an appeal to the Supreme Court. Cawdrey, representing the bondbelder, is placed in possession of the rail. road until the appeals are determined. he gi ing security to account tor the rents and profi’: while in possessicn. Tue TAx ON BEOKELS.—A committee of the New York Suck Exchange, consisting of Messrs. Hoyt, Sleane, Greenleaf, and Vao Schaib, with their Actuary, A. N. Lowis, waited on Commissioner Delano this morning to request bim to reconsider his recent decision classifying them as bankers and requiring them to pay thattax. They represent the decision as taxing money borrowed by brokers for the use of their customers as capital. The Com. missioner refuses to reopen the quesion, having given it full consideration already, ‘This decision will have the effect of bringing into the Treasury an additional $100,000 per ‘week from this class of bnsiness men. THE CURRENCY PRINTING.—It is thought that Secretary Boutwell will soon inaugurate measures to resume the printing of the national currency in the Treasury Department, and take the work away trom the New York Bank Note Companies, who have vitisted their con- tract by the delay in furnishing the supply, the Principal cause of WBich breach of faith, it is stated, 1s, that the companies are executing 3 large contract for a foreign house, compelling the United States to wait their pleasure. Mr. MoUartee, Superintendent of the Barean of Engraving and Printing, is ready to put tha ecals om the notes, bat om account of not receiving any his presses are idle. There is po doubt the work can be exe- cuted with greater facility here, at a less cost and less risk of counterfeiting and fraud, ‘When it is taken into consideration that the paper is now prepared in one establishment,the engraving and printing of backs of notes in another; the engraving and printing of the faces of the same im still another place ; the putting On of the seals and putting ap in pack- ages in yet another place, besides the packing and unpecking and traasportations from point to point, ft will be seen why the risk is less here. (ne object m having this work done im separate Offices, it is said, is to prevent plates, paper, &c., from falling into the hands of counterfelters, It is the neeietee. ofmany it gentlemen connected with pie Gartner rm however, tha! this could be prevented mach more effectually by having but one oifice instead of a mambé2r, as atpresent. Itis true that quire a terge ex- perditure will be necessary to furnish suitable presees, dc., in place of those recently sold at the Treasury, though there ts enough m1- chinery in the Department to print safficteat to meet the moderate demand, and it would be bata short time before all necessary machinery could be in place, if the change is made.

Reports from Minnesota state that the weath- er is warm and very favorable for corn, though the continued rains in June and July were very injurious. in South Usrolina the weather during the past week was dry and hot, when a fine rain fell.
