The Examiner to whom the application was reterred, happened to be an old and close reader of the scripture, as was shown by his retarning the application endorsed ‘Rejected. Not Patentable.

The new law not only directs Tere “class of e resident to reduce the internal revenue dis- ricis throughout the country from 231 to $0, with @ collector and assessor in each, but also Ginects the Secretary of the Treasury to reduce sors, inspect ora, Tks and employes ean to as small a Lumber as possible; hence there will be a whole- le distaissal before the end of the year. It 18 ¥ porsible to reduce the force of the iuter- al revenue Gflice, as there is barely force enongh now to conduct the business; but by reduction in the number of districts the work of the department may gradually be decreased. ‘The Secretary is to rep Tt his action to Congress at the next session, and recommend any further changes ir the internal revenue service to pro- mote its efliciency and economy. The President will have a hard time of it between now and January Ist, to determine between those to be dismissed aud those to be retained, as all the collectors and assessors are now preparing to bring all the influence they can to bear, in order to be retained. cee Tar Urrencen Mcrpee Case.—The pub- lished statements ae ee has been di- rected towards anot than Uppercue in the late ‘murder of M ates incorrect.

Since the nomination of General John A. Dix as the republican candidate for governor ot New York, public attention hes been anew to his celebrated telegraphic di ending with the patriotic words: “Lf any one tempts to haul down the American flag. bim on the spot,” and various versions of the telegram have been given, as well as differen statements of the circamstances under which it Was written. Allot these accounts are im fect, and most of them are incorrec their statement of facts and the ix sought to be drawn from them. But t of the lot is that of the New York Sux tor of which paper, with the view dou’ » weakening the strength of General Dix in the present canvass, pretends that he is not th to write such a sentence, and starts the ridicu- lous siory that it was written by Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, and signed by Gen. Dix at the soli- citation of Mr. There is plenty of eyidence to disprove this wild statement, and there is no reason to believe that Mr. Stanton hal any- thing to do with the writing or sending of th. dispatch in question, or knew anything of its existence until it became a matter of public notoriety. The history of the famous dispatch and the facts which called it forth is brie‘ly as follows: In the winter of 1860, on account of the seces- sion sentiment manifested in the southern states, and owing to the great difficulty of procuring accurate and reliable information trom that quarter through the regular channels, it was deemed necessary by the government to seni into the disaffected territory a trusty secret agent, whose duiy it should be to observe and report to the Secretary of the Treasary the state of feeling there, and to take such action as he could looking t> the safety of the public prop- erty. For this delicate and responsible task Col, William Hemphill Jones, then as now Chier Clerk of the First Comptroller's «ice, was se- lected. Col. Jones lett this city about the mid- die of December, and spent some time in Ten nessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, before reaching New Orleans, his final point of destination. He made regular report of his ov- servations both on the way and at New Orleans, but as all mail matter going to the government or to persons in the north supposed to be un- friendly to the southern cause was sure to be opened by the rebel authorities, Mr. Jones’ cor- respondence was not sent directly to the Treas- ury Department. It wasaddressed to a ‘ictitions personage at Baltimore, to be called for at the post office. From there it was brought to this city by the hands of a confidential messenger, and delivered to Gilbert Rodman, Esq., then Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department, now deceased. During his stay in New Orleans, Col. Jones had occasion to report treasonable aetion on the part of Capt. Breshwood, of the revenue marine service, at that time commanding the fine cut- ter Lewis Cass, then lying in that port. It was in answer to this report of Col. Jones that the now celebrated dispatch was written. It was in the following words: Telegram.) : Treascry Derarruent, 'y 29, 1s61. Januar, WILLIAM HEMPHILL JONES, New Orleens. Tell Lieut. Caldweil to arrest Capt. Bresh- wood, assume command of the Cutter, and obey the order I gave a you. If Capt. Bresh- wood, after arrest, undertakes t interfere with the command of the Cutter, tell Lieut. Caldwell to consider him as a mutineer, and treat him accordingly. If any one attempts to haal down the American flag, shoot bim on the spot. JOHN A. DIX, Secretary of the Treasury. Charge Treasury Department. JOHN A DIX Secretary of the Treasury. As stated above, Mr. Stanton had nothing whatever to do with writing or sending the dis- patch. The letter press copy of the telegram originally sent, now on file in the Treasury De partment, and which we have more than once seen, shows the body to have been written by Mr. William Handy, an old and trusted clerk in the Treasury Department, who died in this city during the last month. Mr. Handy was then at the head of the Revenue Marine branch of the Secretary's office, and the spesial matter in question came under his charge in the nataral order of things. As we have said, the text of the telegram isin his neat, plain chirography | although it was evidently written at the dicta- tion of Gen. Dix or copied trom the draft mad: by Lim, now in posression of Key. Dr. Dix, of New York, and the signature in each place is the bold, dashing autograph of the distinguished Gencral. The subject was disposed of in the usual manner and inthe regular course, an! both the matter and the language of the order were beyond any question the inspiration oy General Dix’s own patriotic spirit, withoat any outside aid or suggestions. This is in brief the whole history of the tele. gram and of the causes which led to its prepa- ration aud transmission. It should be added, however, as a matter of fact, that the dispate!s did not reach the hands of Col. Jones, as in- tended. It was intercepted by the revel authori- ties at Montgomery. A copy of it was sent by them to the Governor of Louisiana, and by his it was transmitted to the Mayor of New Orlean-, with instructions or @ request to arrest the pro- posed recipient. This made the crescent city too hot for the prospecting Colonel, who then. forth found it wssary to secrete himself ter succeeded in mak: t im such &@ mauner as t mislead and elude the vigilance of those wh» were lying 1a wait for bim on the route it wa thought he would travel on his way northward After the @ of New Orleans the rebel copy of the historic telegram was foand amonuz the archives which fell into the hands of th: Union forces, aud it was subsequently sent ¢» Col.

James Lyons, the candidate for V President, was a federal jadge in Virginia be fore the war, and was also a member of the con- federate congress. OF THE OPENING OF TARE CONVENTION the Louisiana delegation asked to withdraw from the convention, Kelley, their chairman, reading & paper stating that tey did #0 in consequence of the failure of O"Conor’s nomination, and the usclesness of further efforts to save the dem- ocratic party. Upon this, a New moved that O’Conor's nomination be insisted upon, which was vehemently opposed by Mo- Teau, of Indiana, and thé western states gener ally. GREAT CONFTSION ensued, during which a dispatch from Quincy Adams was read, te that he (A. ton tor Vice Pr hO'Conor, but would accept nothing els>. The delegates then broke in utter disorder, th. New ¥ hail, and declaring that © CONOR MUST BE NOMINATED atail hazards motion that a resolution for the nomination of ©'Conor be laid on the table, which was defeat- ed by a large majority, all the large states going against it. THIS REVERSES THE WHOLE SITUATION, and ensures (Conor's nomination, whether he will accept or not. The work has ail been done by the New York delegation within an hour. CONOR IT 1s. On the final rol! cail, only thirty votes were cast against O"Conor, and the conveution, after adopting resolutions against land grants, andl in favor of & judicious tari, adjourned sine die. Joan min: (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) LOUISVILLE, Sept. 5.—The convention was not called to order by the chairman until half. past ten o'clock, the committee on resolutions causing the delay, they were holding a con- suitation In the rear end of the courtroom. It was understood atthe hour of meeting that no official proceedings in the convention would be held until O'Conor could be definitely and finally heard from. The current talk is that Adams will be nominated for President if ©’Coror continues to peremptorily decline. In that case various persons are named in connec- tion with the candidacy for Vice President, LOUISIANA WANTS TO GO HOME. Mr. Kelly, of Louisiana, said that he had been instructed by the eommittee on resolutions to read a communication on behalf of the Louisi- ana delegation, justifying their withdrawal from the convention. The reasons assigned tor such procedure are the hopelessness of the cause of democratic principles in consequence of the decided declination of O'Conor and the con- fused condition ot affairs. VOT2 FOR 'BM ANYHOW. Goodlett, of New York, offered a resolution, which he thought would alter the determination of the Louisiana delegation. The resolution embodied the general idea that sly nominated, i, it was the duty of the convention not to nominate another candidate, but to appeal to the country, and give the nominees the same hearty and enthusiastic support as if both can- didaies had signified their acceptance. Good- lett supported his resolution in a speech of some length, eulogizing O’Conor's abi ebaracter and democratic fe 5 was ire quently tuterrupted by applause. INDIANA OBJECTS. Moreau, of Inciana, combatted the resolution urging that the strong and emphatic declara- tion in O’Conor’s letter that he could not serve, Was sufficient warning to this body not to nom: hate him. Now that O’Conor ha: peremptorily declined, the convention owes it to its dignity to make anew nomination. The New York dele- gation should withdraw O’Conor’s name. He moved that Goodlette’s motion lie on the tab This motion was withdrawn in order to Duncan to read LEGRAM PROM JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ow Quiscy, Mass., Sept. 5.—Col.
