He only got to work fairly in London last weck, and some days must elapse before he can ju ige with any accuracy as to how the loan is be'ng taken. Should it be taken with any rapidity another subscription will be made by the syndi- cate aud more bonds sent to thei by" the first oi June. Repvcine itag INTERNAL Revenve PENSES One-HaL¥.—The Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue yesterday settled the question of salaries to be paid to revenue officers in New York state under the new law, aud will by the new arrangement save over one-half of the ex- penses of assessing and collecting the revenue under the old law, and this is for the time froin May 20th to July Ist, 13573. During this period the special taxes are coll and the expenses larger than at any other time of the year. He is now actively engaged in” ar- bie om the schedule of salaries to be paid under the new law, and has fixed those for collectors, deputies, clerks, &e.. in about one-half of the states. The costof assess- ing te internal revenue last year was $3,215,000 and of collecting it $1,907,000. By the new ar- rangement at least one-half of the sum totat will be saved as compared with the old plan, and from one to one and a half million as com ed with the reducing the namber of collection districts to eighty, which was au- thorized by & year ago, but not put in effect, bein, bag gece by the one abolish- ishing the office of assessor, which goes into effect on the 20th inst.

On consideration, however, it was deemed advisa- ble to modify the design of the official stamp to used by the Post Office department, in order that there might be no possibility of ‘postmas- ters confounding it with the ordinary postage stamp. As finally adopted the design differs materially from the official stamps in other departments, it being especially distine- tive in character. The border of the stamp is black, with but little ornamentation. In the center of the stamp 1s a |: white oval [awe with the denomination in gures equi-distant above is the word official,” in black letters, and below, the word p.” The words, “Post Office Depart. ment,” are placed over the upper are of the white oval.

Mow Shall It be Utilized for Wash- ington? he New Relations of the Baltimore = on Ohie Railroad to this City. ‘The exeursion trip over the Metropolitan railroad this week, preliminary to the opening of the road for business on the 18th inst., afford- ed an opportunity for the party of citizens who went over the road to judge of its quality. and at the same time to discuss with the representa- tives of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad pre- sent, the relative wants and grievances of that company and the city gf Washington; matters which have served to keep up unpleasant rela- tions between the two for so many years. Now that the Metropolitan road is unmistakeably completed for business—a consummation so long delayed that Washingtonians have grown incredulous as to its being reached within the experience of the present generation—it be- comes necessary, if the new short line tothe West is to be utilized for the benefit of Wash- ington, that some arrangement of the differ- ences between the city and the Baltimore and Ohio company should be made. It is requisite that some understanding should be reached as to the place where the company’s stations and depots should be placed to best accommodate the public and the road; and also by what ronte the track can enter the city with least injury to the streets and ce grade. After hearing the matter fully discassed, we are yet of the decided opinion that the interests both of the road and of the city would be best served by tunnelling Capitol Hil, and making the connections through Washington south, along the streets in South Washington already devoted to railroad purposes. ‘The proper thing would have been a gran union depot for all the railroads entering Wash. ington, in the southern portion of the city; but as that project fell through, the next best course would seem to be to have all the railroad busi- ness here brought as nearly together as possi- ble in that part of the city, as the streets indicated have already been virtually spoiled for any other than railroad uses. But if the company to make their southern connections b vholly their own across the Potomae above Washington, keeping their station and depot in the nerthern part of the city, it would seem to be desirable that they should change their line of entrance to the cit so as to pass down a single street or avenue, instead of crossing a number of streets squares diagonally as they do by their prese: route to their station on Ne ¥ avenue. By passing north of the Deaf and Dumb asylum and entering the city by Delaware avenue, and tollowing that street in to their station, & less obj ble ronte than the present one mig.t perhaps be found. But it is apparent that t time has come when some conclusion should be reached. THE PROPOSED RAILROAD BUILDINGS. Viee President Keyser gives the assurance that the new railroad buildings for Washington shall be first class in every respect, ful ed to supply all the terminal facilities needed at thisend of the new short line to the West. Probably it would not be fair to judge of what the company intend to do in this way, from what they h: Jone in the past. From whatever cause, it is certain thatthe ideas of the manage- ment of the Baitimore and Ohio road are ex- panding amazingly of late, in the line of liberal unprovements. This is illustrated by the really magnificent series of railroad hotels they are erecting along their western line, and of which that recently completed AT CUMBERLAND isaspecimen, This hotel is not surpassed by any railroad hotel in the country in dimensions and appointments, The center building, Lil feet front, is two stories in height, surmounted by a lofty cupola. The wings, 48 feet by 84 feeteach, are four stories in height; and the back building, containing the kitchen apart- ments, is 3S feet by 97, and three stories in height. The entire building is of twick, cov- ered by asiate root. An ornamentak iron pi- azza,i0% feet wide, extends along the front, and there is a roomy two-story portico between the wings on the rear. The di feet by 141, and will seat from four to five hun- dred persons. The basement is fitted up fora billiard room, restaurant, offices, lanndry, &c., and the grounds to the south of the hotel to the extent of about three slosed and ornamented with a fountain, trees, and shrubbery. At Piedmont the cor passenger depot, 52 fe high. any have put up a y 52, and three stories AT DEER PARK, afew miles this side of Oakland, the company are crecting a handsome hotel for a summer re- sort, corresponding with that at Cresson, on the Pennsylvania Central railroad. The main building ts 56 feet by 48, four stories high, with two wings, 55 by 40; and with a back building 35 by 50 feet, thee stories high. This sum) t Deer Park is not intended for a rai road cating house, but a commodious buildi for the latter purpose will be erected at Val land, near by. ME. GARRETT AS A PROGRESSIONIST. These and other expensive improvements show that Mr. Garrett sees the necessity or de- sirability of bringing up his great wester) line and its appointments to its proper rank a.aong the important roads of the country. He de- clares his intention to make the new railroad buildings at Washington alike creditable to his company and to this city. Why should be not? He and his road have certainly more interests at stake than Tom Scott and the Pennsylvania Central, who have already expended, or propose to expend from two to three millions of dollars in this city in the erection of permanent bridges, tunnels, stativn-houses, depots, rouud-houses, ce. Financially the Baltimore and Olio road is now in a position to undertake liberal um- provements on a scale second to no road in the country, |_its surplus fund, which represents im the capital derived from earnings inves various branch and connecting roads, improvements line, constructed on the which is not represented by bonds, now amounts to $26,152 profit and loss account y re mber 30, 1872, showed an increase of £2,905,597.G. The Stock, paying a dividend of 10 per cent., is held at 1.99, (or above par.) and is not easily obtained. Av order for 400 shares on foreign account has been six months on handin Baltimore, and has not yet been wholly filled. The bonds are selling at par in London; a standing obtained by not many railroads. The company by pursuing a cautious and rather slow policy have le themselves a good financial name; and with a solid surplus to go on, can, and oughit, now to proceed to earn a good name for enterprise and attention to the wants of the public. Apnaren ly this is the course they have decidetl upon, as above indi- cated. Fer the accommodation of their and THE METROPOLITAN ROAD. Now, if Mr. Garrett will, as he promises, give Washington the benefit of her shorter line ‘West by the Metropolitan road, why may we not derive some benefit from the coal trade by rail in competition with the canal, especially as the canal company have this season entered upon the suicidal policy of raising freights? It ‘is Mr, Garrett's boast that the tariff of his road that the We give bim conic 8 aE im. . peor of Washington will hoid bi word. ‘Assuredly, with this advantage in distance our city ought to reap material advantages in the way of reduced tariff upon provisions, tue! &e., from the West, as well as from the redaced assenger fare. The ‘to the Point or Rocks is not only reduced 49 miles by the new road, buton the com; of the extersion to Chit , the distance from that city to Wash- ing will be reduced to 784 miles, against 5!! between Chicago and Baltimo: THE LUSINESS OPENING OF THE ROAD. ‘The time fixed for the opening of the Metro politan road for business is the 18th inst., and the officers are now busy preparing the sched ules. The tariff of fare is not definitely set tled, but it will probably be about 3 cents per mile, or about the rate on the Wash'ngton branch. There will be one or two local train run per day from Washington, and the th through western trains per day to and tr. Baltimore will be run via Washii nm and th Metropolitan road, as, though the distance by this city is a little more, better speed can b: made in consequence of avoiding the heavy ‘ades and short turnsof the Patapsco. The jatter route will be given up to freight and loca! business. On the completion of the Gaithers- burg and Laurel cnt-ot!, the Baltimore passer ger trains west wil, of course, make use of that shorter line, and not come by the way of Wash- ington. The stations and distances on the Mc tropolitan road will be as follow: Gaithersburg (Junction). Germantown. Boyd's. Point ot Total... -+ees0.42 mites. Suitable station houses will be built at these poir.ts, and there will be four of first class, at Silver Springs, Rockville, Germantown, Dickerson’s. These four station houses are be of uniform size, two stories in height, 53 £ front by 41 depth,'and built of press brick, w late root's.

The official who received the appeal expressed the opinion that on such an occasion two gallons of Bour- bon wouldn't go round, and at least four ga are required to open an ordinary country office in Kentucky. ‘THE REMAINS OF THE LATE JAMES Brooxs, of New York, were taken from here on thes o'clock train this morning. As before state, they were in a magnificent casket. This was lined with satin, in which flowers were embroi- dered, and during last evening a number of flowers were arranged beautifully in the p of the sat delicate bud to cover ew the embroidered flowers. The casket was con- veyed in a hearse to the railroad depot, where it was placed on the train for New York. ‘The cortege consisted of four carriages, besides the hearse, and behind the hearse the favorite horse of the deceased was led by a groom. The were accompanied by the son, dangh- ter, and son-in-law of the deceased (Mr. Neil- son) to New York, and Messrs. Buxton, door- per of the House of Representatives, Chaan- cey, and four of the Capitol police, went on in charge of the remains. On their arrival in New ‘York they will be deposited in Grace church, from which the funeral wiil take place to-morrow. st A Nice LitTLe ARRANGEMENT SPorLev.— it having come to the knowledge of Commis- sioner Douglass that in some instances internal revenue storekeepers are employed when there is no necessity for their services, he has issued an order to prevent any further useless employ ment of such officers. Storekeepers are paid from three to five dollars per day for the time actually employed, and are assigned to duty at any distillery or warehouse while spirits are contained in such buildings, as they have to in- spect and stamp such spirits in connection with the guagers when they are taken out. Recently it has been discovered that in some instances when a distillery ceased operations, one or ‘wo packages of a were left by the distiiler, necessitating the employment of the store, keeper until the removal of such packages. An arrangement could easily be made between the distiller and storekeeper that the former should leave a smail quantity in the distillery after stopping work for a season, in considera- tion whereof the latter would pay a portion of the salary he might receive from the govern- ment by the continued emp'oyment to watch the small quantityen hand. ‘Te commissioner has therefore instructed collectors throughout the country 1g warehouses or distilleries in their districts that whenever the amount of spirits in Warehouse or distillery shall be less than 24 =, the svecial storekeeper employed therein shali be discharged, and the keys be delivered to some _Frnetal storekeeper, who shall have charge of as many separate buildings as he can supetiutend, and receive but one salary.

At asingie glance one saw the courtiiness and splendor of an ancient throne surrounded by qua nt and innumerable costumes, decorations, insignia of the variety of races which obey the decrees of the Kaiser. The multitude took every form and color. Swarthy warriors in the rich apparel of the Danube; Poles, Hungarians and Bohemians in the costumes of their country, and the dress of the armies and navies of t world, our own genuine blue being neither ab- sent nor forgotten, helped to complete the pic- ture. The whole ‘scene was a surging sea of color. At every turn the eye was met by 4 great display of raiment, black, orange, green and brown; velvets, laces, waving plames, rich enfolding furs and gold and silver braids,’ until the sombre multitude look life and seemed banks of tilies and roses, tinged with the deep rich color of the south.
