INTERNAL REVENUE—The receipts to-day from this source were $530,239. ‘THe Hovse Post Oreice CoMMITTER has re- turned here from New York and Posto», and will submit their report early next week. REArvorxtEp—Postmaster General Creswell has re-appointed Wm. U. Saunders, Special Agent of the Department. Ox WEDNESDAY EVENING NEXT the President will entertain the members of the Diplomatic corps at dinner. Secretary Fish and Senator Sumner will also be among the guests. REPRESENTATIVE Dawes returned to the city last night from a brief visit to his home in Massachusetts. His daughter, whose illness called him home, has recovered. PrRomoTED.—J. B. Cleveland has been promo- ted from 3d to 4th class, and Thomas 8. Chappell from 1st to 2d class clerks in the First Auditor's Office. Tux Batt of the Midshipmen, at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, comes off to-morow even- ing. The President and Cabinet have been in- vited. Disratcnes to the Chicago Tribune say that Congressman Hopkins passed away with words of love to friends, and the prayer, “ 0, Lord, re- ceive my soul.” TsE Wars AND Mgaxs ComMITTEE reassem- bled yesterday, sixof the nine members being Present. The committee think that there is a probability that they may make a report next week. THE JUDICIARY ComMITTEE of the Senate are said to be unanimous for Senator Trumbull’s ‘| bill prohibiting Senators and members from en- dorsing applicants for federal offices and will re- port it next week. M. M. Noan, now editorially connected with the Intelligencer, is a son of the late Major Noah, of New York journalistic fame, and is a true “chip of the old block.” He wasfor some years connected with the Alta California newspaper. REcziIrts rFRom Customs—The receipts from customs at the ports below named for the week ending December 3ist, were as follows:—Boston, $196,370.43; New York, $1,344,000; Philadelphia, $55,645.88; Baltimore, $101,142.33; San Francis- ©0, $84,971.98. Total, $1,782,150.61. Tue Navat Rawk Questiox.—Another bill Will be presented in the House next week to set- tle the existing difficulties between the line and staff of the navy. It is called a compromise measure, and is said to embrace the views of nine-tenths of the staff. CoLLector Casey, of New Orleans, who is now in this city, is engaged in making a reor- ganization of the force in the custom house, and has submitted to Secretary Boutwell a list of changes, transfers, &c., which he desires to have approved. ‘THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT refused to con- tinue the Postal treaty with the United States, but now offer a compromise, in which their former demands are considerably moderated. What is proposed does not come up to Mr. Cresswell’s standard, and he has therefore re- fased the terms proposed. PRINCE ARTHUR will visit Washington to- wards the close of this month, for the especial purpose of calling on President Grant before visiting other portions of the United States. He will remain about month, and be the guest of Mr. Thornton, the British Minister. Afterwards he will go to New York, and remain several days. WHEN CONGRESS MEETS, & western member of the House will introduce a new census bill in which a section will provide that no State shall have the number of representatives diminished in the Forty-second Congress. It is hoped by this section that the new appointments can be applied to the next Congress. The idea of a September session is losing ground even among the western members. The power of appoint- ment will be devolved on the Secretary of the Interior. NAVAL ACADEMY AnD HaRVARDBOAT RACE. Mr. A. J. Kane, of Harvard University, had an interview with Admiral Porter yesterday, and obtained permission for the Annapolis Naval Academy Boat Club to row arace with the crew of the junior class of Harvard University, in which there is only one ot the boat's crew that rowedin England. Admiral Porter expressed a desire that the race should be either at Annapo- lis or West Point, between six-oared boats. Mr. Kanegoes goes to Annapolis to-day to perfect the matter. A Cunan PRIVATEER IN CHARLESTON Har- BoR.—Mr. Roberts, the Spanish Minister, has notified the State Department that the steamer Annie, a Cuban privateer, crossed the bar of Charleston harbor yesterday about noon, and anchored off Fort Sumter, with a portion of the crew of the Hornet on board. The Secretary of State immediately notified the Navy Depart- ment, and it is thought that one of our {fron- clads will be sent to Charleston tmmediately, in case of any emergency. A revenue cutter, with the U.S. Marshal on board, has been ordered down to the suspected steamer. ‘Tux RecErtions—Those whe received yes- terday were Mrs. Vice President Colfax, Mrs. Blaine, Mrs. General Sherman and daughter and others. The hours of receiving were from ability to sleep; but we had been encouraged to think that he was from that difficulty. ‘We still entertain the hope’ his case is not so serious as the information above would seem to indicate. They are Greundiless. This morning a rumor gained considerable circalation on the streets and in business places that Mr. F. A. Boswell, the City Collector, had absconded with a large amountef the Corpora- tion funds collected for taxes. One report fixed the sum as high as $180,000. j On mquiry of Mayor Bowen and others at the City Hall, we find there is no ground whatever for these reports. We find further, on examina- tion of the books, that the accounts are straight in his office, and that the amounts collected have been deposited in the legal depository for the Corperation—the First National Bank—the bank account showing that from the ist of No- vember to the 4th instant $666,018.34 have been deposited. The rumor probably had its origin in the fact that the bank a day or two since refused to cash: @ Corporation check when the account had been overdrawn, and before Mr. Chase, the Deputy Collector, had made his deposits for that day, when the check was honored. Mr. Boswell left the city a few days before Christmas for New Bedford, Mass.,to spend the holidays, and i: expected home in a day or two. Some fuel seems to have been added to the flame of these reports by the fact being ascer- tained that the City Collector is required to give bonds only to the amount of $30,000, while the collections in a single day have sometimes reached as high as $80,000. It will be a conso- lation, however, for the nervous ones to know that however inadequate the amount of bond may be, our city collectors thus far have been too honest to take advantage of the fact. As above stated, there seems to be not the slightest grounds for these rumors prejudicial to Mr. Boswell. A Post OrFice has been established at Point Lookout, Md. Prrsoxat.—E. Lopez, a son of the fugitive President of Paraguay, isin the city. -*--Gens. Augur and Heintzelmen are in the city. -+*-Capt. A. H. Stanton, of the Ist United States Cavalry, died at Wheeling a few days ago. s*+-d. T. Gilmer, of Salt Lake City; Governor Flanders, of Louisiana; Gen. Wadsworth, of San Francisco, and ex-Governor Wells, of Va., are at Willard’s. A NAVAL GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL has been ordered to convene at the Naval Academy at Annajolis, Md.,on Tuesday next, the 11th in- stant, for the trial of several midshipmen of the first and second class, for violating the rules and regulations of the Academy. The court is to be composed of the following-named officers: Capt. Napoleon B. Harrison, President; Lieu- tenant Commanders Silas Casey, George W. Hayward, Henry F. Picking and Lieut. Thomas P. Wilson, members; and John W. Bell, Esq., Judge Advocate. Tax ENGuisa STEAMER Mowanca, having on board the remains of the late George Peabody, accompanied by the U. S. steamer Plymouth. will arrive at Portland, Maine, about the 25th inst. The Monarch is unable to go to Boston on account (f her drawing too much water. Offi- cial information received of Capt. McCoomb, of the Plymouth, announces that they have taken the Southern passage by way of Madeira and Barbadoes. The monitors Miantonomab and Terror will sail from Boston in the course of a few days for Portland, to egcort the faneral fleet into the harbor. ‘Tne FerMentation PERtIoD.—Deputy Com- Commissioners Douglass and Given, of the Rev- enue Bureau, left here this morning for Cin- cinnati, for the purpose of taking testimony relative to the forty-eight hour fermentation Period, accompanied by Mr. Bassett, phono- grapher. Their visit is in accordance with the request of General H. L. Burnett, attorney for the Western distillers, who have already entered their protest against the time fixed by the Com- missioner. They will probably be absent until next Wednesday, and it is understood repre- sentative distillers from St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago and Western cities will be present to testify in behalf of the claim desired. THE MARRIAGE of Miss Gertrude Cutts, daughter of Col. Cutts of the Coast Survey, to Mooretield Story, Esq., of Boston, late Privat Seeretary of Senator Sumner, took place at two o’clock this aftornoon at the church of the Epithany, and was attended by @ large number of persons, among whom were Attorney General Hoar, Senator Sum- ner, General Sherman, Mrs. Davis, wife of Assistant Secretary Davis, and others. The doors of the church were in chd@Bge of ushers employed for the occasion, but who apparently knew nothing of their duties, and the, consequence was a good deal of confa- sion and jostling on the admission of a miscel- laneous crowd, many of whom were rude enough to stand on the seats, wearing their hats, &c. There were eight bridesmaids and eight groomsmen on the occasion. THE Waite Pixs Minixe Reoiox.—From the original Hidden Treasure mine in White Pine District, Nevada, a specimen of very rich silver ore has been transmitted to the Commis- sioner of the General Land Office, for the Geo- logical Cabinet connected with his office. The mass in question consists of sulphuret of silver, associated with a larg» proportion of the famous Horn silver ore, a cloride of silver of a soft wax like consistence, which in some places ean be Stripped e@ the walls of the vein in sheets.
