Wuisky BonDeEp Fox EXPoRTATION.—Attor- ney General Garland, in reply to questions from Secretary Manning, has decided that in the event that holders or owners of distilled spirits on which the tax has not been paid shalt have failed within the seven months specified in the bond to withdraw them in fact from the distillery warehouse a forfeiture of the bond follows, and the spirits are not protected there- after from an obligation for a domestic tax. The effect of the bond while in foree and before for felture Is to free the spirits from such obligation, but this effect ceases upon the forieiture of the bond. Also, that the spirits covered by expor- tation bond, after the fullure to withdraw them and after the forfeiture of the bond, are linble to distraint, and that the condition of the bond having been broken by the failure to withdraw the spirits from the warehouse, the right of the government to proceed upon ‘the bond is un- questioned, Gen.

The impression 1s that the man who got so severely handled by the President, in the letter published In yesterday's Sran, for making a bad recommendation which he was not willing to stand by, does not live in Olio, but that some other siate—or territory—had the distine- tion of possesing a new Judge whose bickers didn’t mean It, “Ex-Nepresentutive Follett says he has thought the thing over, and finds that there has been no Judge appointed in Ohio, and no Ohio man appolnied to a judgeship outside ofthe state, Mr. Follett and other democratic members have informed the President on dif- ferent occasions that nobody ever meant any- thing by signing a petition, ‘and that it was not fair to hold them toa recommendation unicss it was made in a persona! letter; but the Presi- dent bas refused to see the thing in that light, und wants to know what recommendations are for ifnot to recommend. The President's letter receives commendation on every hund, and Particular signiticance Is attached to the ‘refer- enee to his fight against the bad elements of Doth parties.” Postmaster Jones Vindicated. HE TALKED INDISCREETLY BUT MEANT NO DISRESPECT TO CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Commissioner Thoman and Chief Examiner Lyman, of the eivil service commission, having at the request of the commission gone to Indian- apolis and investigated the charges against Postmaster Aquila Jones of violating the civil service laws, have submitted a report upon the caxe to the President. ‘The report concludes that the postmaster made no appointment or removal In violation of the civil service vs, The evidence showed that the postmaster in conversation declared a purpose to make re- movaly and appointments according tow theory of political diserimination quite repugnant to the spirit and letter of the rules. Such declara- tions. very naturally awakened distrust and suspicion that his action had been in accord- ance with bis words, ‘these tacts naturally re- sulted in the presentation of the charges. It is due to the postmaster to state that he declares himself not to have been well informed as to the full effect of the rules in regard to political discrimination at the time of the conversations and that what he stated as to selecting those Of his own party and rejocting those of the other had reference to places not to be filled Seca the examinations, ‘The report adds that thdfe is no evidence showing that there was uny cheating attempted at the examination or any injustice done, and therefore ‘they find no reu- son for disturbing the examination, “AND YET HE 18 NOT HAPPY.” Mr. Jones, notwithstanding his vindication by the civil service commission, 1s said to be still in hot water, He is about sevent e274 old und o dernoerat of Lhe old school, who never made an effort to keep up with the “new-tangled civil service ideas.” He is said to be one of the “best fellows in the world,” always very generous, His iuability to refuie apy thing to his friends, of whom he had many, led him into inany promises before he got his appolutment, which he found, when ft was too kate, he could not fait: When he got. bis ap- pointment he found that nearly all the patron- e under him was locked up In the elvil ser- vice safe, and while he could “turn the rascals i Soret he eee ree men ‘a grow cold towards bim’ uni ot pose who were formerly speak. ‘Thus he is said to be 3 i i : 3 f Es a3 Hill sulesand Kee her disarmed D tendance on the court.

They both looked contented when they came out of the Presi- dent’s private office, and Mr. Raudail said thetr interview had been very satisiactory, though nothing was settled yet. “What they want is to have 8.

Mr. Lee, secretary of the American legation at Vienua, has cabled to the State department that the Austrian government has positively declined to receive Minister Kelley. No reason is given by the Austrian authorities, who sim- ply say that they will not receive the new min- ister. Mr. Kelléy, who is now in Paris, has been Informed of the decision of the Austrian gov- ernment, and Mr. Lee has been designated to uct us charge d'affaires for the present. This is the second time that Mr. Keiley has been cam- pelled to give up the office of United States minister toa forelgn government, He was titst appointed minister to Rome, but the appoint- nent was distateful to th ans on account of his tirade against King Victor Emanuel in a public speech made at Richmond. A protest was made against the appointment of Mr. Kelley, and he resigned the office in conse- quence, “He was ‘shorily afterwards ap- peinted minister to Austria, which gave rise to considerable fon as to the manner in the — appoint- ment would be received, and {t was stated that even If received he would be recognized only an official, and would be socially ostracized. ‘The fact that he married a Jewess, it was said, would be sufticient to cause him to be ignored by doth officials and citizens. It was subse- quently learned that a stronger opposition would emanate from the friendly relations of Ttaly and Austria. The Italian’ minister at Vienna isin bigh favor, and his opposition to Mr, Kelley's recognition was cousidered to have great weight in influencing the authorities at Vienna in the matter, Although nothing onficial be learned excepting the refusal of the Austrian government to receive Mr. Kelley, there 1s no doubt that Italian opposition was the reason. E jers. WARD —____s95__ Extended Naval Contracts. TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SMITH COURT MAR- TIAL. Mr. Wm. J. Moore, of the Fourth Auditor's office, testified before the Smith court martial Aiter the report in THe Stan closed yesterday, that the records of the office, which has to pass upon naval accounts, showed that since 1878 a number of contracts had been enlarged a3 to quantity and extended as to time. He had not tad time to go ov records entire, but he ited about thirty case: +h there had been extensions and enlargements, and testified that in all the cases the Vouchers had been passed upon, THE TESTIMONY CLOSED TO-DAY. The court resumed its session to-day. Mr. Doe, aclerk in the bureau of provisions und clothing, was the first witness, He submitted a list of cases of contracts made and goods de- livered in one tiseal year and paid for out of ap- propriations for the next tiseal year, ‘This list was taken from the records of the court. The witness also submitted another paper showing the comparative prices pald for beef aud_ pork under several adininistrations of the bureau, und that the cost was less under Gen. Smith than under his predecessors, ‘The witness also submitted a paper showing the extent to which Advertisements bad been made for proposals, and that Gen. Smith was more in the habit guvertising for contracts than his predecessors. He also submitted a paper showing that the Waste of provisions from handling and trom de- terioration was less under Gen. Sinith’s admin- istration than under his predecessors, Chief Clerk Denson, of the bureau, was re- called to identify some papers and answer a few questions. ‘This closed the testimony, and the court took mrecess with the understanding that the foal arguments should begin after recess. ‘10. An Extra Session Wanted. A PLAN TO GET CONGRESS TOGETHEE FOR LABOR LEGISLATION, A Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia Press says: “There is a scheme on foot among promi- nent labor leaders to secure an eXtra session of pers devoted to unionism ‘Within @ few weeks the IN THE NEW YORK CITY HALL. ‘The Remains of Gen. Grant Lying in State in the Metropelis—The Proces- sion Through the City. ‘The train bearing the remains of Gen. Grant, which left Albany at 12:30 o'clock yesterday, arrived at the Grand Central depot, New York, ‘at 5 o'clock last evening, having met at the stations along the route with marked demon- strations of the interest and feeling of the peo- ple. Among the first toalight was Gen. Han- cock and staff. They were followed by Gov. Hill and staff, Rev. Dr. Newman apd Dr. Douglas, the senate and legislative committee, the com- mittee of one hundred and the members of the press, The casket was then taken from the funeral car by members of the Grant Veteran Post and carried through the station to 43d Street and Vanderbilt avenue, where it was placed upon the funeral coach. Owing to the rain that commenced falling shortly before the arri- Yal of the funeral train, the crowd around the depot was not so large as was anticipated, aud the police had little ificulty in keeping a clear passage for the funeral cortege. At 5:30 the meral car was drawn by twelve black horses to Sth avenue. Twenty-four colored grooms ‘stood at the horses’ heads awaiting the word to Move in the procession, It was not until 5:40 that the order was given to march. The cession comprised four batteries of artillery from Governor's Island, a naval detachment of marines and blue-jackets, the first and second brigades National Guard of New York state, and carriages containing the committees named above. od ‘The procession moved along 5th avenue to Waverly Place, to Broadway and down Broad- way to the city hail. The crowds along 5th avenue increased at every block, and when the head of the pecaian reached Madison square the sidewalks were packed, while all the steps and windows in the vicinity were crowded with spectators, Post No. 327 lifted the coffin from its resting piace when city hall was reached, and boro tt to he steps. The people bowed their bared heads as the procession passed into city hall. Col. Fred. Grant, Uly S. Grant, jr., and Jesse Grant, dressed in black, followed the body into the hill where the catafalquestood. ‘They were received by the mayor. Then came the com- mittee of 100 representing the city of New York, the legislatve committee, members of the common council of Alvany und others. When these had passed around the catafalque they left the building. After the members of the Grant family had left. tho building, and the bands of music, the soldiers and the horsemen had taken their de- parture, the coffin was taken intoa private Toom, Where it was opened. and the body pre- ang for publle View. The powder which had ech placed over the ures was carefully re- moved. Then, according to the request of Col. Grant, Lieut. Floyd Clarkson placed upon Gen: Grant’s breast the decoration of the Loyai Legion of Honor, and Senior Vice Commander Johnson fastened by its side the medal of the Grand se of the Republic. Mayor Grace, accompanied by two ladies, viewed: the body. before the public was admitted. He thought that the body was remarkably well preserved and that the features of the dead soldier looked quite natu br. G. W. Brush and Deputy Coroner Ins, Who viewed the body ofticl- ally, stated thut it was in an excellent state of preservation and that there appe ured tobe no tendency to decomposition. It was a few min- utes after 9 o'clock when the coffin, with the Nd removed, was again placed on the cata- falque, ana the Iron gates were swung open and the public allowed to enter. It was estimated, at midnight, that 34,000 people had viewed the body. When the gates were opened a long line of people, shut In by files of policemen, pressed into the portico, and, after viewing the remains, passed out by the door of the hall. Everything has been so carefully arranged that there was no confusion and little crowding. Gen.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT CF THE CIVIL (VERVICE ASSOCIATION SAYS AOUT THE ADMNISTRA- TIoN. ‘Mr. George William Curtis, in his aanual ad- dress as president of the National League Civil Service association, at Newport yesterday, says: “Under this administration there have’ been violations of sound principle, but, these are not necessarily proofs of treachery or hostility. When, therefore, we are considering what has been gulned for reform upon the whole, the word ‘Higgins’ is by no means a conclusive re- iark, ‘The Higgins appointment, indeed, was asignal illustration of the abuse that we would correct. It was the appointment of 2 person publicly and responsibly accused of disreputa- bie political practices, the explanation ut which, if there be one, fs not known, and an appoint ment made mainly at the request of a Senator, a request which is In itself a gross offense, ant which experience and reason show to be made presumably for a personal and not for @ public pu practice which pro- motes the most flagrant corruption, This is the Higgins ease, and I know no satisfac explanation of it, It isthe Lest, ye) 1e spoils syatern, yet it is now made the occasion of especial and continuous remark. If, however, it fairly illustrated the general practice of the administration it-would not be singular, Certalply the severest censors would nol asert that the Higyins appointment is of a kind unparatieled under other administra- tons; and to allege that itis larly offen- sive under democratic ascendancy is to con- cede what is, of course, not intend is to be expected from a democratic'than trom arepublican Executive. But the instance of Higgins, and the whole Hixgins school of ap- pointments, although jutely inconsistent ith the reto1 item, do not prove re- Sean to reform so much as the Tnainitely: more significant and im it instances of pened Graves, Burt. others prove fidelity reform.” .

THE HONORED REMAINS. GRANT'S BODY LYING IN STATE. A Multitude Taking Their Last Look at the Dead General’s Face, VIEWING THE REMAINS. Endless Stream of People Passing by the Catafalque—Scenes About the New York City Hall Te-day—How the Crowd was Managed by the Police, EW YoRK, August 6.—People loltered in City Hall park all night. They were first in the line that soon after six o'clock this morning. began filing past the remains of Gen. Grant, where they layin theeity hall, There were no great throngs awaiting admission. Those who waited at six were not more than 1,000 per- sons. Inspector Steers was in charge. He had ordered that 150 policemen should report to him at city hall at an early hour this morning. Atuix o’clock—the hour fixed for admitting the public“the inspector's officers were still fine nto the plaza. The complement was present soon. Two lines of policemen were _ placed across the plaza from the city hall entrance to the fountain, These two lines formed a passageway, through which four men might walk abreast, “ina along which all day the visitors to the re- mains should pass, Meanwhile, the officers of the ¢d regiment, who had been on duty through the early morning, were filing out of the city hail, ‘They were going home, and their Places were being taken by the officers of the 2th yy ee whose names are Col. James H. Jou lajor John J. Riker, she gp y. L, Con- tent, Capt. Charles Burns, First. Lieut. How- Pell, Second Lieuts. Rutus Delafield, W. N. Appleton, and Messrs, Parsons and Knoedler, Adjutant’ Arthur Schermerhorn, Capt, W. 1. Murphy, Commissary Powers,’ Lieut. John Wing, and Capt. Aspinwall. Sergeant Riley with 30 men picketed the corridors throug! the building so as to form the channel through which the throng should move to the exit on the court house side of the elty hall. THE G, A. R. DETAIL. ‘The Grant Post had mounted a detall at five ‘clock to serve from that hour until eight ‘clock. They were under command of R- L. taples, and their names were J. M. Bates, J. Sands, Hammell, C, W. Alton, John Bowles, C.F. Wright, C. H. Walker, Wm. Cowing, T. Linnekin and T.S. Clark. These were placed nearest the catafalque, and the two lines of vis- ltors passed between ‘them and the casket on either side. All within the gloomy corridors was in readiness. Outside on the top step of the city halland in the middle of the channel of officers to the fountain stood a big brawny police officer. He would act asa wedge to split the current of people and send them iu lesser streams through the gates, when they should flow past the casket as detailed. THE GATES OPENED. ‘When the clocks pointed to 6:06 o'clock, at the inspector's orders the iron gates were ushed open. Ten or twelve hundred Pool le fiad jammed up against the officers who bar the channel at the edge of the fountain circle. But when the gutes swung open the officers ceased to hold the people in check, and the stream began to flow regs the chunnel made for it, then split upon the big officer on the to} step and went past the remains and throug! the building. ‘he first person to view the re- mains was # spare but sweet-faced little woman who led witb cach hand a little boy. She was anxious her children should see the general's face, and the children were permitted to halt an instant and gaze over the le of the cas- ket and r into it, It was yet early. The police refrained from pushing the very: first visitorand she a woman. On the other side of the casket the line had also begun with a woman—a fat matronly dame. “The second man on one side was a bright-faced fell aluneh roll in his hand and a pair of Il elimbers slung on his arm. He was on bis way to work. Svon came a man with the smell of wood-shayings upon him, and in his hand car- ried a carpenter's saw and other tools wrapped up inhisapron. He wasa mechanic, and he was on his way to his day of labor. The line started slowly. The police had not yet begun that annoying tice of bumping persons forward upon the heels and neck of their first predecessor. In the ‘int micute only eighty-four | persons ssed the cusket. This rate of passage wou! Rover answer when the dense ‘crowd should be bebe outside, An did lady who was very fat strolled in. She caught a glimpse of the big floral pillow trom the Loyal jon at the foot of the casket and began adjusting her glasses to inspect It closcly. A. tall lean policeman as- tonished and interrupted the fat lady by put- ting his barid under her shoulder blade and hustling her along. INCREASING THE PRESSURE, People were hastened. ‘They were hurried through at 101 a minute. Then the pressure was increased to 104.a minute. This was bet- ter. ‘The procession was almost a lock step, and the tramp was quick. The dammed up crowd that had waited at the fountain circle for the gates to open was being drained away through the channel between the police lines to the hail enirance. At length those who passed did so without waiting. The tide was easily tormed of persons whocame from cars, or who passing through Mail street were drawn into the stream by a desire to see the dead. It was 6:25 a. m., und the pulse of curiosity had sunk to 56 to the minute. At 6:28 the Tate was 52. A negro father, with his little boy, came in. The pick- anniny was too small to sec, and the father lifted bim up so that the child’s toes bumped the dais, to the horror and anger of the body guard, The father and son were aided along the line with some vigor. A little boot- black, with his box on his shoulder came along’ to see the dead general. His face shone and his hair had beén freshly wet and smoothed out by the fountain, aid women came. too, and they caused delay. They must needs examine every detail and would fain put their noses to the flowers. Men and boys and wan-faced Women with luneh baskets and din- ner pails filed along. At 6:40 the Syren e ‘aver- age per minute was 91,and the total then pussed between 2,700 and 2.800 persons. The channel _was even full with no clogging or crowd. The hour from 6 to7 o'clock was em- ployed by WORKING MEN AND WOMEN, boys and girls, in viewing the remains. They were on their way to work. The day was young, and their opportunity’ better than at any other hour of the day. All through the hour the formation of the Ine was ata point near the fountain, and the time of waiting was not more than ten minutes from the point where the line formed to the place where the remains rested. After 7 o'clock the line changed as to its personnel. ‘There were fewer women and girls. They had one through and were at work when tne line in tolengthen. At 8 o'clock there was un- other change meee ace in the complexion of the visitors, The laborers had gone, and the clerks coming down town were stepping from elevated and surface cars Into the line that was moving then at the rate of 110 to 120 per min- ute, ie police were reinforced at 8 o'clock, Details under sergeants and roundsmen bad been arriving and reporting to the inspector from 7 o’cloci At 8 o'clock there were 487 men on duty, ‘The channel with walls of police was extended in Y shape around the sides of the fountain, which like » hopper received the people, and from which they were straightened out in line of two and threes up to the city hall steps, ‘The guards at the casket were hastening the people. One hundred and fifty were being hurhted through, per minute, ‘The hands on theclock diais marked 9 o'clock. The fountain circle was no longer the point of formation of the line. Every car and train coming down town added itsquota to those anxious to look upon the face of Gen. Grant. EXTENDING THE LINES. The police lines were extended; the channel reached beyond the fountain circle and bent around into Park row. ‘The people observed the situation and Joined the ion near the -register’s office. From that point the line was solid by twos and threes along Park row, around the fountain and across the park to the steps.
