The above does not include payments mde on ac- count of the interest or principal of the public debt of the United Stat THE Vacancy in the office of first deputy commissioner of internal revenue, caused by the death of Gen. Sweet, will be filled by the President, it being the only deputy commis- sionerahip appointed by the President and con- firmed by the Senate, hence it is outside of the rales governing civil service promotions by competitive examination. Mr. Rogers, of Pa., seccnd deputy commissioner, is an plicant for the position, and is strongly recommended by Commisrioner Dougiase. Tue Repvctions in THE Estimates.—The House Committee on Appropriations have so far advanced with their work that they are able to judge the approximate amount of re- duction possible in the estimates. Several mom- bers of the committee estimate the amount at #20,000,000. The chief reductions will be inthe river and harbor and the fortitication bills. The estimated deficit for the fiscal year is #49,000,- 0 This leaves a deficit of #20,000.000, for which other provision must be made. There is little probabiiity that this additional €20.000,000 can be secured, except by slight additional tax- ation upon certain articles. THE DEPARTURE of the Marquis de Noailles and his wife is now set for February. Mme. la Marquise would have preferred to have re- mained in Washington until April, on account of the rough weather to be encountered in crosei: ocean in midwinter. President on, when he notified the French Minis- ter of his change to Rome, left him to select his own time for going. The Marquis de Nouailles did not, however, allow his personal comfort to interfere with what he deemed his duty, and has irrevocably fixed his departure for u- ary. He will give one reception before he leaves. Tue Cominc Patent Convention.—At 3 P- m. yesterday @ meeting of gentlemen in- terested in patents was held at the Patent office to complete ents for the Patent evegcea tte Saaremaa ta inst. It was decided to engage the ball for the use of the convention. marks were made by Messrs. Thacher, Dyer, Foster and others. An executive committee, Consisting aS neer « man, Mr. : Stansbury,’ Colonel George 'y. D: ad . ‘ooa ‘hachet Stoughton and Charles 8. Whitman, was to make arrangements for the convention. Tux New AvsTaian MimisTER.—A Wash- tmgton dispatch to the New York Tribune says: “* The reported appointment of Baron Schwarz- Senborn as the minister of the Austro-Hunga- rian empire to this ath: if made, is no doubt in reference to the Philadelphia centen- nial. The Baron was general director of the which ition he exhib- ma 4 notable success in the face embarrassments such as no fair encountered. The Austr no doubt, wishes to make h's experience and talent of use in this country, to secure a credit- able exhibition of the manufactures of the em- pire at Philadelphia.” THE MARYLAND SENATORSHIP.—Some of Vienna Exhibition, seatin the United States Senate, is published in the Baltimore 4: Roads #E i f Hy s gz i : iH F i fe i yee i i : A.A bet 2 is nominated by the Senate and sanctioned by the President.

What is meant by trial by jury? A. When the suit is carried to the Supreme Court, whare there are 12 or 24 men cuosen to decide the question. Postat Carps.—Tho manufacturers of post- al cards at Springfield are now turning out cards of an excellent character, and entirely satisfactory to the Post Office department. The production now more than meets the demand, and the manufactarers are accumulating quite a large stock in the vaults. Next week it is ex- pected that orders for cards from postmasters for the quarter beginning the Ist inst., will be- gin to pour in. Tax Status oF . Keagney.—The New Jersey ‘Statue Commission” met on Tuesday atthe State House, Trenton, and formally ac- cepted the statue of Gen.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF BEECH- Br’s CuuRca.—After the weekly prayer meet- ing at Plymouth church last night the joint commnpication from the Church of the Pil- grims and the Clinton Avenue church was read, anda reply drawn by the Kev. Mr. Beecher was adopted. The reply admits the difference between the Co! lism of Plymouth church and other Congregational churches, and claims that the foundation of Plymouth church was effected to protest —— of Con; ational min! }, which had excited rofound oo among the members of tional churches in New York at the time. Plymouth church does not decline to in calling a mutual council, but will a: dubious invitations. It can make rules for its ow: vernment and still remain Congregs- tional, and it declines to withdraw from Con- gregational fellowship. A SURVIVOR PROM THE SANTIAGO MA86A- crE.—Capt.

The act of the Pennsylvania legislature by which the consolidation of rail and other corporations for the purpose of forming monop- olies was made illegal went into effect Janaary 1, but in anticipation of its going into operation @ number of jeading coal companies have been silently and expeditiously at work forming a combination by which they may elade the de- signs of the law-makers. The New York World ea) The Wilkesbarre Mee and Tron Company recently absorbed in! ion kpown as the Honeybrook Coal Company at the ame time that the Central Railroad Compan of New Jersey was makin; ‘angements wit! the Lehifh Coal and Navigation Company for @ union of interests and responsibilities. These ations alone would make two powerful tions, but after the anions had been grander stroke of policy prompted the further consolidation of the new companies. In this way a vast monopoly has been created, consisting of the Central railroad of New Jersey and the Wilkesbarre, Lehigh, and Honeybrook coal companies. e de- tails have not as yet been fally completed. The name will probably be “ Tne Wilkesbarre a nd Lebigh Coal Company,” and its president, 80 tar as appeai ances indicate the choice, is to be Charles Parish, now president of the Wilkes- barre Coal and Iron Company. The new cerpo- ration will control extensive regions in the coal fields, besides having a Pec system of canal nd railroad transportation direct between this city and the coal districts, with present fuciti- ties for a yield of 4,000,000 tons. The only com- peting route from Pennsylvania to New York and the east is by the Reading railroad to Penn- sylvania, and thence by boat to Bostoi New York. Another means of commupication by which coal may be conveyed to the manu- facturing districts of Massachusetts and Con- necticut will be the bridge at Foughksopale when completed, but the n organized com- pany profess to fear nothing from such rivals and indulge in the apparently well founded hope of being able to control the coal markets of this continent. It will carry at once more coal than any other two companies. The east- ern agencies of the Wilkesbarre company are located at present at Boston, Providence, Salem, Mystic, and ong recently formed at New ‘en. These will cohtinue to remain in ope- ration as the stations of the new organization. Arrangements have been made at No. 40 Broad- wary New York, where the offices of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre companies are now located, for the proposed union nuder the direction of William H. Tillinghast, treasurer of the Wilkes- barre company. ‘he united capital which has been placed into the new company is not known, but will be very heavy. ‘he capital of the present Lehigh company is $10,000,000, and of the Wilkesbarre company $4,000,000. How much the Central railroad ‘was to furnish, and the part contributed to the pool by the Honey- brook company does not transpire. The prime movers in the transaction teel very joyful over the successful issue of their negotiations, and express themselves very confidently as te their ability to guide the vast power which the com. bination bestows upon them. KUKLUXING IN TENNESSER.—The Jackson (Tenn.) Whig of Dec. 20 says: +The citizens of the tenth district and vicinity are still intense- ly excited over & threatened collision between aband of disguised men and the negroes. The negroes are armed and defiant, while the masked riders are bold and aggressive. Nearly every night during the past week these disguised men have paraded through the country, threatening the negroes, and creating alarm and excite. ment. They have as Kr committed no crime, and their movement, it is thought, is for the purpose of breaking up a secret society amon; the negroes of that section. But a serious col- lision is imminent, as the negroes are very much exasperated, while the masked riders seem determined to break up their society at all hazards, On Wednesday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, about fifty of the maskers sur- rounded the sed cabins at James Exum’'s, eleven miles north of the city, and closely ques- tioned the negroes; who were greatly alarmed. A young man by the name of Nat Pearson, liv- tng with Mr. Exum, took a double-barrel shot- gun and went out to where they were and asked them their business. The only reply they gave was, ‘We are here & purpose, but we will do no harm to anyone.’ Young Pearson ordered them off. Thev refused to leave; wherenpon Pearson jumped behind a tree and fired into them. Some fifteen or twenty shots were fired at Pearson, but he ed to the house un- harmed, The mwaskersdid not pursue him, and it is not known whether Pearson shot any of them or not. Between 12 and 1 o’clock on the same age heavy firing was heard four miles south of Exum's, but ita cause we have not yet ‘earned. The country is intensely excited, and preparations for a conflict are evidently going on. The authorities should take the matter promptly in hand, before serious damage is done. The negroes are exasperated and defi ant, and seem to court a collision. Something should be done at once to arrest the mischief.” AX Unpceasantness Between Governor HERDRICKS AND THE Mayou or INDIANAP- oL1s.—About noon yesterday Mayor Mitchell called upon Gov. Hendricks to consult with reference to the situation. Just what led to the difficulty we suppose will never be positively known, but it is stated that the governor was fearful that the mayor was trying to detract from his reputation as the great peace gov- ernor, a8 evidenced by his actions during the continuance of the strike. At any rate, the two great men became very much heated in their conversation, and the governor finally said that the mayor had proved himself unequal to the emergency during the past few days, and said he should have utterly exhausted his pow- ers as chiet executive of the city to preserve the peace before even Speci liga fel the county or state offic! To this compli- the mayor rejoined that the insult would never be forgotten, member its author. but during the afternoen the police board called upon the governor and juainted him with the fact that the mayor had done a great deal privately towards preserving the peace, but had hot publicly appeared and denounced th@riot- ewe demonstration.— Indianapolis Journal, Dec. Slat. Do Brquest To a Convict.—The Poughkeepsie Eagle says that Eli Brown, alias Hoosier Bil), who in last June was convicted in the generai sessions of grand larceny, and sentenced by Recorder Hackett to are at hard labor in the state prison at Sin; jing, has met with a stroke of good luck, which he. unfortunately for bimeelf, cannot enjoy for several \years to come. Brown had a rich old uncle in Kokomo, Ind., who died 8 year or twe ago, and who, in his last will cut off Brown Z duet, without . Brown contested the the testator’s insanity, willon the but the fi und oF court decided against him.

Mapaip, January 3.—The Cortes reconvened in session yesterday, and President Castelar read his message. He says order prevails everywhere in the country, exceptin the north, where a Carlist war exists, and at Oi na, which was captured by criminal ivsarrection qT city and the fortresses and iron-clads have not been recaptured, because of want of troops and resources; but the final overthrow of the insurrection is certain. There are, untoubt edly, direct eonnections be! m the Carliste and Cartagena insurgents. The President says the Oarlist war has been terribly aggravated by disorganization, lack of discipline, and dis: sensions in the republican ranks, he ap -peals to all, in the face of trouble in the coun try, to sink party differences and unite in de- fence of the republic. While war exists nothing but a war policy is possible. The war expenses during the recess of the Cortes were 420,000,000 reals. The government has distributed the military commands among generals of all par- ties, in order to give the army & national char- acter. President Castelar recommends the passage of bills providing for free public in- struction, and for the annihilation of involun- tary servitude and slavery Atlantic. He says: You must fast establish a stable government; then the European powers will soon recognize the republic. No nation as any irremovable antipathy to the republic. All countries first desire to see order main- tained and tion given to the immense commercial interests.” Senor Castelar prom- ises to lay before the Cortes all documents IN RELATION TO THE VIRGINIUS affair; these, he said, will demonstrate that war bas been averted. while the Principles ot inter- national law have been upheld. ——_e The Reformed Episcopal,Church. THE NEW ORGANIZATION GAINING STRENGTS. New York, January 3.—The regular ser- vices of the Keformed Episcopal church will begin to-morrow, when B: p Cummins will each. Bi Cummins says the Keformed = a me church is founded on principles for which low churchmen have been contending, and about the validity of the orders there can be no question. It would be premature to give the names of well known laymen and clergy- men inthis city who may be expected to give in their adhesion to the new church, but there is abundant proof that the spirit of a considera- ble portion of the Protestant Epwcopal church in New York is ripe for this departure. The ac- cession of Rey. Dr. Goddard, rector of one of the Ly md and most important churches on Staten Island, is a good sign. Numerous offers from clergymen of other denominations, ex- pressing their readings to take part in the work have been received. Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist ministers have expressed a desire to take charge of new organizations in this movement. From men of note in other Chris. tian bodies there have come suggestions looking torward to probableor possible union between the new church and porcions of such Christian bodies. A prominent doctor of divinity among New England Baptists, and editor of an im- portant religious journal in Baltimore, is among thdse who have written favoring such a step. One of the foremost Methodist preachers in [ili nois, the president of a college there, has given utterance to cordial approval of and unreserved sympathy with the movement. —— Foreign Ni ACCIDENT TO AN OCEAN STEAMER.

It was mentioned in yesterday's Stan that Mr. James Raymond, of Brooklyn. bad died from hydrophobia from the bite of a cat. A New York paper says: “Six months ago, while stroking the back of a cat the treacberoas creature suddenly tarned and bit him severely on the hand.

Existing prescriptions re specting the administration of dioceses when Disboprics are vacant will serve for cases in which prelates shall be turned out by the gov- ernment. «These dioceses left without a head will be administered by a general vicar, who will, in his turn, be deposed should he not com ply with the letterof the statutes. The govern- | ment is quite aware that these measures will superinduce am inconceivable confusion in dio- cesan administration; but it hopes thereby to compel the clergy to'compliance with the law. The pew form of oath of allegiance to be saly scribed to by the future-appointed bishops is framed in terms binding the subscriber to ab- solute submission to the state, and it is officially assumed that the Vatican will no’ pec mit E, copel candidates to take it. Tis assumption will be tested by the apereschin filling up of the Fulda vacancy.
