A Daciston.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that persons selling tobacco and cigars on railroad trains must confine such sales to the smoking car; that they cannot travel from car tocar offering for sale tobacco and cigars without becoming peddiers under the terms ¢f the statute, and peddiers are forbidden to retail from broken packages.

The annual report of Gen. J. H. Baker, Com- missioner of Pensions, shows that at the close of the lest fiscal year there were on tile 37.176 ijudicated claims of invalids and pensioners, 762 claims of widows and dependent relatives, and 11,850 claims of soldiers and widows of the war of 1812, making a total of $2,518 claims. The claims on account of the war of 1812, it is estimated, will be disposed of by May Ist’ next. The investigation of frauds has received special attention with gratifying results, both in the detection and repress'on of wrong doing. The Commissioner estimates that £00,480,000 will be required for pension ser- vice Guring the next fiscal year. Tar SUPREME Court SzTTLes Tus BREvat QusEsTion.The case of the United States against Hunt, appealed from the Court of Claims, presents the question of the relative position as to grade of brevet brigadier and ro pea general. By an act of Congress of 18€5 the commutation of rations was increased trom thirty t cents to all officers not above the rank ot brevet brigadier general. Under this law Brigadier General Hunt, claiming that @ brigadier was no higher than a brevet briga- dier, applied for ihe increase. The pay depart- ment took the opposite view and refused the application. The Court of Claims sustained the position of General Hunt, and gave him judg. ment for the increase asked. The United States Supreme Court yesterday reversed the judgment, holding that in the construction of the statute the duty of the court is to ascertain the intention of the legislation only, and that while in strict militi construction there may be no difference in the tworanks,in p-actice there is, as an efficer requires to be promoted before he can pass from brevet to full rank, In any case, it said that it is clear that Congress intended to make distinction between the two, elre it would have saidsimply brigadier general, and would not have mentioned the rank of brevet. The Chief Justice delivered the opinion. REPORT OF THE ComMIS3IONER OP PATENTS — Last Fear’s Work of the Ojice—Important Recom- mendations.—The annual report of Gen. M. D. Leggett, Commissioner of Patents, shows that during the year the number of applications for patents, including reissues and designs, was 19,0¢7; number for extensions. 251; for register- ing of trade marks, 559. 15,620’ patents were issued, 233 extersions granted, and 556 certifi- cates of trade marks, and 3,100 caveats tiled. Fees from allsources amounted to $700,954 85, the total expenditure $623,553.90, showing that the ottice has receipts over expenditure: 877,100.96 In his report the commlasioner states that the office has outgrown the plan of its organization, and that anew plan is absolutely nece.:ary to secure to inventors and to this country the benefits of our patent system. He urges the importanee of separating the patent office from the interior department, as recom- mended to Con; in February last. The evils of the association of the office with the de- partment are scarcely felt under the adi tion of the presert secretary, interfered to arb its or, nor upon it persons disqnalitied for its peculiar duties, ere it certain that all hissnccecsors would be equally wise, saya the commissioner, the necessity for a separation would be less [in conc) the mniseio' a that more room is force ané files of the y the com ner adds wd for the working Mas.

In the French assembly yesterday there was an exciting debate over the anotion of Depaty Changarnier cevsuring Gambetta for his inflam- matory speeches jn the proviuees. On making his motion Changarnier somplained of the in- cTeasing audacity of the ra and the laxity of the government in bg With them.

After four divisions of the chamber on other motions, the vote of conti- dence came up and was adopted by 267 yeas against 117 nays. Half of the deputies abstained from voting.

The trade is now being affected a little unfavorably @ spread of the horse disease, which not y impedes transportation on the canals and the delivery of coal trom the various railway depots to the yards and points of consumption, but has now entered to animals deep into the mines, and is materially checking operations there. From these causes the operators are re- ing numerous directions countermanding orders previously given for coal. So near the end of the season of navigation as we now are. it is not probable that there will be mach, any more, coal marketed by that mediam this year. There isa falling off in the demand {or coal from this cause. *hila. Ledger. THE AssaULT os THE MrNisteR To Line- Bia.—The preliminary examination in the cas of George B.
