Fite, Representative elect from the Fourth Congressional eistrict_of Tennessee in the 44th Congress, at Mot Springs, Kansas, Sat- urcay, THE SUGAR D&aWBACK QUESTION SET- TLED.—Collector Arthur, of the port of New York, received a dispatch from Secretary Bristow Saturday, which reads as follows: «Restore former rates of sugar drawback on all goods purchased for export at any time and shipped pending the inves tigation.” This decision is a most importa nt one to all concerned. IMPORTATIONS FOR THE CENTENNIAL.— The Acting Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Conant, yesterday issued a circular to col- lectors of customs, saying the Departmen epgaged in the preparation of amended regu. lations governing the entry of imported articles for the international exhibition at Philadelphia. The regulations will be made as liberal ax possible, consistent with the re strictions of the act of Congress, approved June 18, 1874, authorizing the free adinission of such good: THE DECISION of Attorney General Pierre- pont, printed in full in today’s STAR, on the Nability of the government to pay the inter- est and principal of the Distriet bonds known as the 3 65 Congressional, has had its effect already in a marked degree. At the close ot business hours Saturdsy, both here and in New York, the highest point attained on the stock board was #9. To-day they have reached 74, with an increasing upward ten- jerey. The street is alive with the shrewd {happy ones who had faith in this seeu- and bought when the timid were selling out. THE St. Lovis WHIsky RinG.—Bassett, one of the St. Louls gaugers charged with conspiracy to defraud the revenue, has ap- pealed to the Secretary cf the Treasury to abandon the civil suit against his bondsmen If this be done he expresses willingness to stand trial on the eriminal charge, and to make full confession of what he knows of the operations of the whisky ring. In the judgments already rendered against tue dis- Ullers and rectifiers of St. Louis, the govern- ment is fully secured from all losses, and Bassett and hie bondsmen pray that the gov- ernmeat will not visit punishment on the letter, who are entirely innocent of ar wrong-doing. Bassett asks for no clemeacy ir himself. THE PRESIDENT, 09 the invitation of Mr. John W. Garrett, visited Baltimore Satur- day, accompanied by Secretary Bel Postmaster General Jewell, and his brothe Judge Jewell; General Casey, brother-in- law of the President; Orville Grant, the President's brother; Dr. Sharp, marshal o: the District of Columbia, and General O. E Babcock, the President's private secretar. The visit was altogether a social one. presidential party were taken to Baltime a Mr. Garreit’s private car, tae “M land,” by aspecial trsin, arriving at Ca: den station at 11 o'clock. The President and | party were met i Mr. Garrett, Mr. John ng. jr., and Mr. Hobiitzell, agent at Cam- den station, where there fwere carriages to convey them to Montebello, Mr. Garrett's country residence. In the’ afternoon the party weit over the fine estate and were shown the horses and cattle, which were much admired by the President. The Joins Hopkins’ estate in the neighborhood was also visited. Afters ding & pleasant afternoon and dining at Montebello, the visitors, at 7,45 p. m., returued to Washington.

Two-ibinis of the applicants are ladies. Way 1HE FAst MAIL LEAVES IN THE MORNING.—Here is the forcible way the su- perivtendent of the railway mail service re- plies to the suggestion that the fast mail train leave New York at 4:50 p. m., instead | of 4:30 &.m., as at present: “The fast mail | leaving New York in the morning affords facilities to 13,000,000 people, who are wide awake and engaged in their customary em- plosments when the train passes through heir localities. Should the train leave in the evening it would have but a few hours to run in daylight, and could not possibly ac- | commodate more than 6,000,000 ous of the | 13,000.000 people benefited ny the morning dispatch. The remaining /,000,000 would be | in their beds and asleep, and would derive bo advantage whatever from the arrange- ment.” CABINET Gosstp.—The new Washington correspondent of the New York Heraid has re- organized the Cabinet for the immediate future in yesterday's issue quite to hisown satisfaction. Secretary Chandler is the pivotal point arouyd Which the coming changes are to revolve. “The resignation of Mr. Jewell,” we are told, “would allow him to put himself with good grace in the hands of bis friends, who are desirous of securing for him the nomination forthe Vice Presidency.” “The decapitation of Assistant Seeretary Cowen upon the return of Secretary Chand- ler from Michigan will be the signal.” it is gravely asserted, “for the resignation of Secre i s fri apncée of the Presidency.” The con- nection between “the signal” in Gen. Cow- en's removal and Secretary Bristow does not quite appear. but it gives the corres- | pondent and through him such of the public as may believe this portion of the absurd Story, the precise date when the Secretary of ne Treasury permanentiy retires! This pinet Eossip Wwe predict, after all, will be found to be full of sound and signifying nothing. A CIGAR SEIZURE IN WASHINGTON.—On Saturday afternoon the United Sates reye- nue officers detained in the store of D. Lough- ran, on Pennsylyania avenue, near 1th Street, thirty thousand cigars on the alleged eround that the owner had failed to comply with the requirements of existing revenue laws.- Itappears that Loughran has had the larger portion of bis cigars manufactured for him in Batimore. The charge aainst bim is at be failed to brand the boxes with nis name aud the co} ‘tion distriet in which he resides. As a matter of fact. the boxes were ped, but not with a “hot branding iron,” s Lhe law requires. Upon a presentation of facts in ihe case by Mr. Loughran, it was devised by Commissioner Pratt that if the person who manu ared the cigars in Bal- timore ean satisfy the department that he bas heretofore complied with the law and Meant no intentional ytolation in the maiter ot Lianding as executed by bim, that t partment will release the stock ‘detained, it, in addition, he will properly stamp the seized boxes. It is provable the matter Will be sat- isfactorily settled to-morrow. PEKSONAL.Mr. E. H.

THE DISTRICT 3-65 BONDS. United States Bound for Their Payment. Opinion of Attorney General Pierrepont, The following is the opinion of the Attor- ney General on the question whether the United States is legally bound for payment cf the principal and interest of the District 3-63 bonds: DEPARTMENT OF Justice.) WASHINGTON. Uctober 22d, 15:5. § To the President of the United States : Sin —The question submitted by the Presi- dent to the Attorney General is whether the faith of the United States is pledged to pro- vide for the payment of the interest and prin- cipal of the 5-(5 District bonds. ‘bat the faith of the United States is so pledged I have no doubt whatever; and 1 re spectfully suggest that the contrary opinions Which bave been given by some eminently respectable lawyers have resulted from 2 hasty and superficial examination of the question. The true relation which the Dis- triet of Columbia bears to the federal gov- ernment seems to have been entirely over- looked. Under article 1, section 8 clause 17 of the constitution, Congress has power “to exer- cise exclusive legislation, in all cases what- soever, over such District (not exceeding ten Telegrams to The Star.

Congress fixes the rate of taxation, declares what property shall be subject to or exen irom taxes in the District, and prescribes the mode of assessment and the en collection of the taxes imposed. [ of Congress ——— Mareh 3, 1575, entitled “An act for the support of the government of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 20, 1876, and for other purposes”) The Treasury ot the United Sates ix by law the sole depository of the taxes and revenues of the Disirict. The debt for whieh Coagress authorized the issue of these bonds was male by oflicers of the United Sates, whom tne President had appointed, and whom the Sen- ate bad confirmed, and the debt was con- tracted chiefly for improving the streess avenues and Sewers of the District, whi @re the exclusive property of the Unita States. (See Van Ness vs. city of Washing- ton, + Petcrs, 2 Had there ho specific pleige on the part of the government, it would have be bound upon every pripeiple of law, gox: faith and common honesty to pay the inter- €stand principal of these bonds. Tae debt was incurred by its own officers. the mouey borrow«l was expended for the improvement of its own property, under its own direction. But on the 30th of June, 1874, Congress passed an act which provides, in the seventh section, for the issue of the District 3-65 bonds; and to leave no doubt about the lia- bility of the government, the act of February was passed, entitled “An act to ameud an act entitled an act for the govern- ment of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes,” ap, provel June 20, 174 Section 7. “That the sinking fand commis- sioners of said District are hereby continued; and it sball be the duty of said sinking fund commissioners to cause bonds of the District of Columbia to be Se, in sums of fifty hundred dollars, bearing date August Isi4, payable fifty years after date, bearing interest at the rate of three and sixty- five one bancredths per ventum per annum, payable semi-annually, to be signed by the secretary and the treasurer of said sinking fund commissioners, and countersigned by the comptroller of said district, aad sealed “Ss the bosrd may direct, which boads shal! be exempt from taxation by federal, state, or municipal authority engraved and printed at the expense of the District of Columbia, and in ferm not ipconsistent herewith; and the faith of the United States ts hereby pledged, thatthe United States will, by proper pro- portional appropriations, as contemplated n this act, and by causing to be levied upon property within said District such taxes as will co so, provide the revenues necessary to pay the ipterest on said bonds as the same may become cue and payable, and create a sinking fund for the payment of the princi- pal thereof at maturity. Said bonds shall be numbered Coperetbes, and registered in the er of oo — er of = a, and shall also be registered in the office of the Registrer of the Treasury of the United States, for which last-named registration the Secretary of the Treasury shall make such provision as rome be necessary; and said missiopers shall use all necessary means for the prevention of any unauthor- ized or fraudulent issue of any such bonds. And the said sinking fund commissioners are hereby authorized to exchange said bonds at par for like sums of any class of in- debtedness in the preceding section of this act named, including sewer taxes or assess- ments paid, evidenced by certificates of the auditing board vided for in this act.” The act stil! further pe that “the in- terest of all said issshall be payable at the Treasury of the United States.” " Section seven reads: ‘And the faith of the United States ts hereby pledged that the United States will * * * provide the revenues necessary to pay the interest on said bonds as the same may become due and payable, and createa sinking fund for the payment Of the principal thereof at maturity.” The fact that the act points out the means over which the United States has the abso- jute power to provide the revenues to meet these obligations only strengthens the pledge of faith which the government gives. It was never yet imagined that the obliga- tion of the government was relaxed or its faith less securely pledged whea it obtained loans in 1542, and subsequently, and iged the proceeds’ of public lands and the custows revenues to secure the payment of those Joavs, because of the mention of those re- sources of the nation. The fatth of the United States is clearly pledged to the payment of the interest on Wese “3-65 District Bonds” as the same falls due, and tothe payment of the principal of the bonds when the same mature. There is no way short of a shameless vio- lation of the clearest principles of settied law and honest dealing that the government Kee escape from the fall payment of these nds. First. The Urited States themselves con- tracted the debt jor which the bonds were jiven. fr The United States used the money or labor for which these bonds were giveu to improve their own property.
