INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts from this source to-day amount to $448,771.34. THE RECEIPTS from customs to-day at the Treasury department were 2618,758. TRE AMOUNT of national bank note exr- reney received at the Treasury to-day for re- dem pton was $610,000. Mr. THOMAS I. GARDNEK has been pro- moted to a fourth-class clerkship In the in- ternal revenue bureau. THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION has received official notification of the appoin’- ment of Mr. D. Burt as superintendent of public instruction for Minnesota. THE STFAMER TENNESSEE, for which a full completent of officers and crew have been detailed, is to be the flagship of Admiral Reynok!s, and sails to the Asiatic station to relieve Rear Admiral Pennock. from the port of New York about the latter part of the ARRANGEMENTS to bring to Washihgton representative chiefs of the Sioux Indias, in order to negotiate with them for therelin- Guishment of their claims to the Black Hills, are still in progress. Aceording to last ad- vices about one hundred and fifty would like tocome, but the goveroment thinks a dele- gation of twenty-five would be sufficient. Is VIEW of the opposition of mi officers to have their checks subj serutiny of internal revenue officers, with the view to ascertain whether they are perly stamped according to law, the missioner of Internal Revenue such examination be incladed in es of regular bank examiners. Seer: tow will accept the suggestion, au pose this additional duty upon the regularly appointed examiners for the banks of the several states. This will sustain the views of the Controller of the Currency. THE PRESIDENTS Triv To Concord — The banquet at the Parker House, in Boston, on Saturday, given by the Commercial Club in honor of President Grant and the Cabinet, Was @ grand affair; one hundred and twenty- ‘sts were present. Hon. Alexander H. » president of the cluh, presided. Presi- dent Grant, Secretaries Robeson, Belknap, Fisb and Lelano, and Postmaster General Jewell were present. The President left. for Concord at 8.30 o'clock and arrived at 9.35 rloek. He took riage to the residence of Judge Hoar, whose guest he is while in Concord. YELLOW VEK SIGNS.—Surgeon Sad- dard, of the North Atlantic squadron, re- ports that the prospect is that the yellow fever will prevail during this season at Key West and Havana, the increased temperaiure of the past winter, the widue prevalence of southerly and easterly winds. and the abso- lute absence of northers during the whole winter, and the early appearance of the disease combining to create that impression. Any yrotracted stay of a large naval force at either place might, he says, have a :most calamitous result. t to the the ary « EDUCATION AT THE C1 NTENNIAL.—G Eaton, Commissioner of Education, has just returned from Philadelphia, where he went to meet the committee of the department of superintendence of the national educatio 1a! association to arrange for the represeatatlo 1 of edneational interests at the centennial. There were present besides Gen. Eaton, Mr. clersham and Mr. Abernethy, superin- nts of public instruction for’ Peausyl- «| Iowa respectively, and Mr. Pail- “superintendent of the public schools : Boston. The committee were in sexsion nearly a week, and at the close of their se: sion presented their views to the centennial commission. THE EEPORT of the board of managers of the National Homes for disabled soldiers and sailors, for the y ending with November last, gives the entire number at the four homes, together with those retieved outside, at 5,102, which is growing larger year by year, and, judging by the applications for admission, is likely to continue to increase. There are in the homes 2,180 native born, and 2.541 of foreign birth. The board, at a recent Meeting, passed a resolution approptiating ee, to meet current expenses for the en- suing qvarter, and empowering its president (Gen. Benjamin F. Butler) to make a requi- sition on the United States Treasury for wae amount. Nava Orpenrs.—Captain D.

Two RATHER Cortous Lerrens were re- contly received on the same day at the Post Office department. One, which enclosed one doliar, was addressed by a lady at Jersey- ville, Ilinots, “In Care of any lar, ravana, porteg Co., Ohio.” and eontained inquiries relative to a missing husband.

SUICIDE OF A™ WEALTHY YOUNG MER- T. CHA Mention was made in a telegram to Ti STaxkof Saturday of the suicide, in Druid Hill Park, of A. Abrens, a junior member of the extensive mercantile house of | Messrs. Stirling, Ahrens & Co., of Baltimore. The American says:—On Saturday, about 1830 @.m., George ye work- men in the park, in going from the Mansion House toward the Woodbury. rowl, discov. ered the figure of a man in a sitting position, With bis back against a catawba tree. Fos- sel, on first seeing him, thougut he was in- foxicated or asleep, as his hat. was lying by his side and his head was bent over on his chest. On a nearer approach, however, Fos- ‘el noticed that the man was dead, having been shot through the right temple. "It was evident that he had been dead but a short time, as the body was quite warm. and biood was oozing freely from jhe wound, trickling down the face of the decensel over his shirt bosom. In his lap was a four-ba: reled Sharp’s revolver, with the right hand of the deeeased resting on but not grasping it. His left hand was in his overcoat po: On searching the body, Capt. Cassel, sapai intendent of park police, found a book of deposit with the banking house of Alexan- ' ver Brown & Sous, with the name“G. A Abrens” on the cover. Tis was the first clue | to the identity of the suicide. Capt. Cassel drove at once to the banking house of Alex- ander Brown & Sons, corner of Calvert and Baltimore streets, who referred him Messrs. Stirling, Abrens & Co., at the Calvert Sugar Refinery. On arriving there he m> r.. Adolph” Ahrens, a relative of th deceased, and a member of the firm. Capt. Cassel after a few moments’ conversation, was perfectly satisfied that the boly at the park was none other than that of therelative of Mr. Ahrens. In as delicate manner as ssibie,he broke the terrible news to the jatter, who was overcome with emotion. Justice James H. Smith held an inquest. The jury after being out for about ten min- utes returned a verdict that “Geo. A. Abrens | came to his death from a pisto! shot wound | infiteted by his own bands.” The deceased was about thirty of age, and leaves a wife t He had recently inherited a large amount money by the death of his father. His rel. tives say they can ass would account for his ¢ ble decd by which he He left home Saturday morning in his usuai health and spirits. -It is thought that he entered a Madison avenue ear and rode out to Boundary avenue, where he took one of the Park cars. The conductor of one of the latter states that he remembers a gentleman of his description asking to be cted to a point in the park from which a good v could be obtained. The conductor referred him to Prospect Hill, opposite Woodberr He must have then started in the direct of Woodberry as hix body was found a few feet from the Woodberry road, about four hun- dred yards northeast of the sion House. Some of the employes in th ‘K say they heard a shot about hine o'clock, but, as has been stated. Dr. Bauer is of the opinion that the fatal shot had only been fired halt an hour before the body was found. This would make the time of the commission of the deed about ila.m. Three of the four chambers of the pistol were The € BASIS OF ADIUS SATURDAY Yesterday was an eventiul dgy to the canal, and full of interest. to the trade over that great water-way. Mr. Gorman. at the Queen City Hotel, received in the morning a call from a committee of the boatmen’s unic who were authorized to say that the m bers of the union would boat at $1.25 for the season and recede from their claim of de- murrage if the boat owners would reduce trippage to $30 all around and the canal com — would throw off the boat-toll one way. t came fseveral of the boat-owners, headed by Mr. Mertens, and the subject of reducing the trippaze to $30 was discussed at length, and about noon the delegati: boat-owners stated that they woul s own life. A ‘T AGREED UPON in on the general reduction, viz: 8 cents per ton reduction on tolls and wharfage; S408 (half each way) reduction on boat- folls; 10 cents per toa reduction on ight aml a reduction to $30 on trippage Th matters being arrange, the cana’ any representatives, the boatmen an owners announced their ratification the agreement, and the latter took their de- rture. Then Mr. Gorman exacted of the hoatmen’s union committee a promise that the rates should be adhered to for the season. P uncing that if they receded therefrom at time during the season the canal com- pany would restore the whole charge for oat-tolls. Mr. Gorman then issued an ord the collector at this port to charge b: boat-tollon which a trippage not exese t- ing $30 was exacted. a similar reduction to be made at Georgetown. On boats on which more then $30 was exacted the old charge of £4.08 is to be made. Several boats which were lying here loaded were at once dis- patehed under the new .ezulation. It seems, looking at th situation gener- ally, as if the affairs were about a \justed. The next week will probably witness th ration ef canal trade.—Cwaberlaad —The inaugural exercises of the great centennial celebration of the battle of Lexington properly began at 7 o'clock last evening in the town hall in Lexington, in- cluding public services and a discourse by Rev.

During the day the party drove to historic points and inspected them, in company with Hon. E.R. Hoar. An informa! reception was held in the afternoon. ANOTHER BURSTED RESERVOIR —A dis- uster only second to the great Haydenville flood of last May occurred on Mill river, Massachusetts, Saturday evening, and from precisely the same cause. A reservoir of water burst its dam, and the mighty stream rushed down the valley, sweeping before it bridges, factories and every vestige of man’s hanciwork within {8 scope of destraction. The loss of property is o¥es $100,000, but for- tunately there were no lives sacrifieed, The scene of the disaster is in Norfolk coauty, near the towns of Wrenthaw find Norfolk. and about twenty-five miles southwest from Boston. ‘The naine of the stream (Mill river) is*milar to that upon which the Hayden- ville calamity oce: , but the localities are a hundred miles apart.

There is, indeed, a fashion of skepticism of American principles even among some Americans, but it is one of the oldest and worst fashic in our his- tory. There is a cynicism which fondly fancies that in its beginning the American republic moved proudly toward future with all the splendid assurai ne Persian Xerxes deseending on the si ot Greeee. but that it sits today among shattered hopes, like Xerxes above his ships at Salamis... And when was golden age? Was it when Join Adams appes baseness of his own time to the dior and patriotism of this? Fisher Ames mourned over like Rachei for her children, ind would not be comforted? Was it when Wm. Wirt said that he sought in vain for aman fit for the Presidency or for great responsibility? Was it when Chancellor Livingston saw only a threatening future, because Congress was so feeble? Was it when we wourselves saw the industry, the commerce, the society, the church, the courts, the — statesmanshi the conscience of America seemingly Goran, under the foot of slavery? s this the golden age of these sentimental rizhts, Ubis the region behind the north wind of these reproachful regrets? And is it the young nation which with prayer and hn with untiring devotion and unconquers will, bas lifted its bruised and broken boly from beneath that er ¥ heel, whose fa- tore is distrusted? America, shaken every government in the wor has been liseif whoily shaken by th It bas made monarchy Impossible in Francy. It has freed the Russian serfs. It has united Germany against ecclesiastical despotism. It has flashed into the nightot Spain. 1t has emancipated Italy and diserowned the Pope as King. In England, repealing the dis- ities of Catholic and Hebrew, it fore- ts the separation of church and state, and step by step transforms mon- archy inte another term of republic. And here at home how glorious its story! In a tremendous war between men of the same blood—men who recognized und respect each other's valor- we bave proved what was al- ways doubted, the prodigions power, endar- ance, and resources of a republic, and in emancipating an eighth of the population we have at last gained the full opportunity of the republican principle.

With thetr faith and their will, we shall win their victory.

Fullerton Again After the Paster. New York, April 9.—The Brookivn city court room was cked this morning with spectators. Fullerton was early in his at tendance. and still showed slight traces of his late illness. T came in looking quite fresh. He was accompanied by his wife and sons. When the court was opened defendant resumed the witness chair, an testified:—On the 3d of January, ts71, [have no recolicetion of the reasons why I went to Moulton’s house. I do not remember if it was by appointment. I do not recall that Moulton reported the effect of the return of the retraction letter on Tilton. When | went there I saw Moulton in hts room. We had a general conversation. He spoke of Tilton and his state of feeling. I expressed MY GREAT SYMPATHY FOR TILTON and for the injury I had done him, and the distress .and trouble on his family i for the part Thad taken in them. My apology Was notdesigued to meet the charge of undue solicitations; nothing was said about it on the sl of January. On the Ist of January I sent an explicit denial to Tilton about this charge.
