JcpGR MakTIN, Sixth Anditor; General ‘Terrel), Third Assistant Postmaster General; and Dr. McDonald, Obief of the Money Order offce, are now in New York on business con- nected with the Post Office Department. “No SMALL Noras.—A great number of bank ers sre making applications to the United ‘States Treasurer for United States notes of the denominations of $1 and #2, but the Depart. ment cannot supply them. APPOINTHEN ‘Phillip Cokely, & colored ‘man, was yesterday appointed by Supervisory Architect Mullet, to the position of watchman at the Treasury extension. M.C. Causten, of this District, has been appointed to a firet- class clerkship in the Second Anditor’s office. APPOINTMENT. —Under the new regulations for paying the laborers employed by the Weighers and Gaugers at New York, Frank G. Wentworth bas been appointed a clerk tor that purpose, with the powers of a Deputy Collector to administer oaths, Tue Ravenvz Tax.—The propositions to modify the income tax law is being put into shape by Republican members of Uongess now here. Itisstated that all the necessary ex- Pense of the Government, with the exception of interest on the public debt, can be raised by the taxes on whisky, tobacco, licenses and a greatly modified income tax. THE SUSPENSION OF AGENTS who prosecute claims before the Pension Bureau for over- charging their clients isa matter of almost daily occurrence. The law fixes the fee at <10, and whenever it comes to the knowledge of the Commissioner that an agent is charging more his name is suspenced from the roll. In this way quite & nnmber of the extortioners haye been stricken from the lists, DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE.—The first volume of the diplomatic correspondence will soon be ready for distribution. It contains a great deal of interesting matter, including cor- Tespondenee between Minister Washburn and Lopez, a statement of the condition of our reia- uons with Mexico, the condition ofaifairs in Japan, and a partial bistory of our late dipto- matic connections with Spain and France. Tre PURCHASE Or Cura.—The statement in the cable dispatches yesterday morning, re- garding the consummation of the purchase of Cubs. is believed to be premature, to say the least. Negotiations have been opened with that object im view, bat Rave not progressed farther than mutual explanations. Tae offi- cers of the Spanish legation here, and in fact all the prominent members of the diplomatie corpe, express the opinion that Spain will re- sort to her proverbial delay in the matter, and finally reject the proposition. HOLDING TWO OrFicEs.—W.C. Morrill, Col- lector of Internal Revenue for the second dis- trict of Georgia, also holds the office of United States Commissioner for that district, and the question has been submitted to Commissioner Delano whether he can fill both offices. The United States statutes torbid United States Marshals from holding the office of Commis- sioner—and at least the law is considered ap- Plicaple to a revenue officer—since it would be im bis power to cause the arrest of parties and then try them on the charges made, authority not recognized by the State or United States courts. Mr. Morrill will probably resign the office of United States Commissioner. PayMEnt OF CoIn INTEREST.—On the =rst of September about $4,564, im coin will be tereston the 10-40 bonds, which falls due on the first of September and first, of March re- spectively. The amount of the8e bonds out- standing is #194,567,300, and bear interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum in gold. No further payments of gold interest will fall due after this until the first of November next, when about $25,000,000 will be required to pay the semi-annual instalment of interest on the 5-20". NoMINATIONS ConriRmED.—Acting Secre- tary Richardson has confirmed the nominations of Davia K. Uartter, to be Deputy Collector and Ipspector of Castoms at Rochester, N. ¥., Homer Haistead, to be Clerk im the Custom House at that place; Stephen Rich and Alvin Smith, to be Inspectors in the Custom House at Gloucester, Mass.; Robert F. Walcott, to be Clerk in the Custom House at Boston; A. F. Adams, to be temporary Inspector in tne New York Custom House; Edwin A.
