The paper used is of the requisite weight and quality, but the edges of the cards are rough, owing to the process used in cutting them. The Post Office department, which has since the Ist instant been using the surplus cards on hand, filled the last requisition on the Mor- gan Company, of Springield, Mass., to-day, and to-morrow will begin to draw on the Phototype Company. It ts belleved this company will be able to remedy any defec: in the cards and begin to fill requisitions within @ few days. THE REPORTED ASSASSINATIONS IN ALAWAMA.—Eiliior Evening S'ar:—In your issue of this p. m., headed “ Horrible Assas- sination of Government Witnesses in Alabama,” I wish respectfully to cor- rect one’ of your statements” in that paragraph, How much you are in error in regard to the others, or how correct they are, 1 know nothing about. You say:—"A few days a.ier, Mr. Thomas Maxwell, an old merchant of Tuscaloosa. was poisoned aud died.” Well, as to that, I will say that Mr. Maxwell (whom I knew well and have sold goods to for twenty years) bought some strychnine on Saturday evening atone of the drug stores, and on Sunday morning went to bis store and did not get to dinner ull 3 o'clock, when bis wife asked, “ Why did you not go to church?” His reply was “he had been very busy at the store’ He returned to his store immediately after din- ner, when late in the afternoon some one pasting heard groans in the store. One of his clerks, who had a key, was seen coming down the street, who, upon being told of this noise, opened the door and found Mr. M. in the last agonies of death. He was an oid merchant and @ most estimable citizen. On his desk were found five letters— one to his wife, two to his daughters, one to his head clerk. and one to the surgeon of the insane asylum located at Tuscaloosa— all of which indicated he was going to take bis own life. When thousands of crimes are committed daily, north, very litue comment is made about them; but when any li:tle hook can be made in a southern state, the ery is,“ Hit’em agiv!” Comment is unne- cessary after the truthfulness of this 1s known. Yours, respectfully, J.B. WILLIAMS, Jn., of Alabama. Washington, D.

A committee of grocery and flour mer- chants waited upon the District Commis- sioners tnis afternoon for the pu of re- commending the appointment of Mr. 6. F. Crabbs as flour inspector forthe city of Wash- ington in place of the present incumbent. Mr. Hitz, who, owing to other duties which engross much of bis time, is auable w give this duty the attention desired. Mr. Crabbs is the present deputy flour inspector. and is represented as belnz thoroughly competent for the position. The Commissioners replied thai they would give the matier considera- tion and act uvon it upon the arrival of Commissioner ’helps, who is absent from the city. He will return next week [tis undersioed that none of the flour dealers are in apy sense unfriendly to the preseat in- specior. THE BOOKS OF THE ASSESSORS’ OFFICE have been completed, and Messrs. Bohrer and Carpenter, with the assistant asses- sors, are in the field at work on the new assessment. Mr. Dickson remains in the cffice to receive the returns for personal property assessment. Toe schedules for this class of property have been somewhat changed since the last assessment, to meet the requirements of the new law, and tax- fRy¢r Interestec would do well to call upon ir. Dickson who will be always ready to make any explanation necessary in elucida- tion of the somewhat complicated and per- piexing business. The cost of certifying to the correctness of returns before a magis- trate ean be saved by this. and the almost certain necessity for corrections when the | returns are ko taken. The present affords a good time for these returns before the rust: comes, and the liability for mistakes when returns are hastily n P ON THE PURLIC PRINTER CLA NEw Civil SFRVICE RULE.—Mr. Clapp.on | n of a serenade on bis return to | the occa! his home, is reported by tie Buffalo papers as saying “My friends, it has not required much courage for me to keep my faith with you and the nuble party to which [am attached, to discharge this duty, for during that period —thanks to a wise and benign administra- tion—there was no civil sepvice rule to in- teriere with the rights of citizenship. Idid not jeopardize my position by leaving the Nat onal Capital and my public trust to mingle my efforts, my voice and my votes with you in support of republican principles. republican policy, and republican men. not only came myself, but I bade every re- publican and every democratic voter in the service of the government in my department, to“goand do likewise.” And, fellow-citi- zens, were I now in the same position, I should take the bazard of forfeiting it by doing again precisely as I have done hereto- fore. No American citizen ean afford to barter bis rights and independeace of politi- cal action for the best office in the gift of the government. When he compromises with federal, state or local favor, upon these terms, he ceases to be a free man fn the exer- cise of ail his rights as a citizen, and proves himself unfit to hold the smallest public trust. Ido not say this to bread disloyaity with any ran who holds office; but this much I say—I could not consent to occupy position under terms which abridge my Tights as a citizen to attend caucuses, con- ventions, meetings, or to pay my money to support republican principles and candi- dates, so long as I believe that the best good of the country is to be observed by their su- premacy.” THE NEXT NEWS FROM THE CITY OF MEXIco is looked for with unusual interest. There are some who are apprehensive that when it is known there that American troops have actually crossed the Rio Grande and punished Mexican marauders on Me: can soil, there will be some foolish demon- stration in the capital against Americans, or some isereet action on the part of Presi- dent in the same direction, to please Uke populace, which it is well known he is most ans icus to coneiiis In this way se- rious trouble may eusue between the two countries, in spiteof all that our govern ment can do to avoid it In Wall street the matter is much talked of to-day, and the fact bad something todo in keeping the gold pra in sift. The Mexican consulate here, may be added. is silent ou the subject. N. Y. Gr. Philadelphia Ledger. THE PEACH SEASON.—A me-ting of the w York peach dealers was hell yesterday to induce growers to ship their crops to this city, instead of sending them direct to th eastern cities. There 1s a little war in Dela- vare between the railroad and the growers rdipg transportation. The President of the Wilmington and Delaware road bas de- cided to aboilsh the charter car system, and also the bringing back of empty baskets, ex- cept as freight, and at a cost Of one cent a basket from New York and three cents from Beston. The growers protest «trengly against these rates, and have addressed a complaint to the president of the road. The erop of Del aware peaches, it is thought, will sbort this year, while Jerseys will b> plentiful. Prices compare favorably with those of last season.—[N. ¥. Herald. 11th. GOVERNOR TiLDEN’S ATTENTION has been called to the statem: of ex- Marshal Pitkin, that the proceedings against the Louisiana returning board are traceable to his inspira- Uon or the inspiration of bis friends, but he declines to have any conversation on the sub- ject if for publication. He has **fall confi- dence in the Louisiana goverpment, that Ubey will see that justice is done, and that bad men will get theirdeserts, no matter who or where they are.” It may be said bere that Marshal Pitkin probably knows no more about the secret springs of the proceedings, 80. far as Mr. Tilden ts connect with it, than was di-closed in the Ledyera fe In the club rooms o} ofien know a great deal more about what is voing on politically in Louisiana and other remote points than most people would sup- pore.—[N.¥.

THE TITLE OF THE UNITED STATES TO MARE ISLAND TO LE CONTESTED. — One Colonel Soulden (says a San Francisco dis- patch) is about to commence suit against the United States to obtain possession of Mare Island, now used by the goverament as anavy yard. The plaintiff alleges that the title of the United States to the island, Which was originally a Mexican grant, is unsound, and that he holds the only valid title, the Third District Court has granted the plaintiff! an order to perpetuate the testi- mony of witnesses, who are numerous and are Scattered over the state. The followi: counsel will appear for the plaintif:— Jeremiah 8. Black and General Albert Pike, of Washington, and Messrs. Mizner M. Noon and Alvaredo, of San Francisco. Mrs. TILTON has been found by an erter- prising reporter, living with her mother (Mrs. Morse) in the outskirts of Brooklyn. The youngest boy, Paul, is with her. the two elder children etl | gone to Europe with their father. Mrs. Tilton absolutely refuses to say anything with regard to the reconeili- ation story. 1.” she declares, “have reso- lutely kept myself out of the newspapers, so far as I had any control over the matter, always, and I can’t break tbat rule now. They seem to get along very well without me, and to keep this thing going. I have no connection with it,except, perhaps, that I am the innocent cause. 1 suppose as long as ple haven't anything better to taik about ey will not let this matter drop. THE VIRGINIA GOVERNORSHIP.—The delegates from Shenandoah county, to the Virginia democratic state convention, twen- ty-seven In number, favor the nomination of Col.

THE STRIKE OF THE CoaL MINERS i virtually ended, and the price of coal was never belore so low as it is at present. A psi es dent at Pottsville states that the cost of mining and placing coal in cars at the breakers. including the royalty of 5 cents, is only 85 cents per ton, and that it can be delivered at Perth Amboy at the cost of $2.26 per ton.

About 100 more started for the same place by this morning's train. THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE and quietness are very cheering.
