On Friday last, before the meeting of the Cabinet, Baron Stoeckl, the Russian Minister, called upon the President and presented to him a letter from the Emperor of Russia congratulating Mr. Johnson on his acquittal of the impeachment articles. ‘This let- ter of congratulation was addressed by the Emperor | to the President in return for a similar courtesy paid | by Congress to the Emperor in 1866 in passing a sorles of resolutions congratulating the Emperor on his escape from assassination, Letter from Mr. Carson, of Cincinnati, Dis- posing of Some of the Sianders Against the President. The following letter from Mr, E. T. Carson, of Cin- cinnatt, disposes of some of the slanders that have been circulated against President Johnson and on which stress was placed during the late impeach- ment trial:— Crxcinnatt, April 17, 1868, Sir—Your letter of the 7th inst. was delivered to me a few days since by Colonel Neff, United States Depositary. In reply to the inquiry therein con- tained I Would say that on September 4, 1861, An- drew Johnson, then Military Governor of Tennessee, now President of the United States, deposited with. me, a8 United States Depositary in thia city, in the name of A. H, Adams, Disbursing Agent, $195,750, ‘This was @ secret service fund placed in the hands of Governor Johnson to be used by him at his discre- tion, with carte blanche to draw for more to save Tennessee to the Union, Adams was a mere clerk, and the money was placed in his name as Dis- bursing Agent, but all checks upon the fund were to be Ca pine by Governor Johnson, Up to April 2, 1862, [had paid out from this fund, on the checks of Adams, countersigned by Governor John- gon, only $16,195 75, leaving a balance of $183,550 25. On May 9, 1808, on draft of Adams, countersigned by gore or soniicn, this palanee was transferred to r. Fowler, now Senator Fowler—$183,550 25— United States Disbursing Agent, and the credit was given hi on that day, and so re ported by me in the daily report of that day, and was regularly reported afterwards. From May 9, 1863, to August 9, 1865, 1 paid out on Fowler's checks the sum of $41,536 58, leaving & balance in my hands on that day of $142,013 67, August 9, 1895, the day on which I ‘retired from office, transferred this balance—viz, $142,013 65—to R. H, Stephenson, my suc- cessor in oftice, and took his receipt for the game, apd reported to the department, besides have made mote than one special report ii regard to vais nid Bator: ‘This fund appears to have been lost sight of by the Department. I can only account for this from thé fact that it was secret service money, placed in the hands of Goveryer Johnson to be expended by him at pleasure, and no questions asked, Ofcourse it was hot expected that any por- tion of it would ever be heard of again. While I am not an enthusiastic admirer of Mr. Johnson's plan for the restoration of the Union, I cannot help but endorse his plan of economizing the Secret service money. Only $16,000 used out of $200,000, and any amount more at his cali. I guess ts is without paraliel in the history of the managers of secret service funds, 1am, very respectfully, E. T. CARSON, Hon. HuGH McovuLLocu, Secretary of Treasury. Cabinet Meeting. The Cabinet meeting to-day was thinly attended, four members—Messra.

Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner Rollins Yesterday sent a joint telegram to Lieutenant Goy- ernor Cox, of Ohio, urging him to reconsider his d termination not to accept the oMce of Commissioner of Internal Revenue. To-day Mr. McCulloch received areply from Governor Cox, in which he adheres to his former decision, adding that the condition of his business affairs positively prevents his acceptance of the President's offer. 1t is understood that noth- ing farther will be done in the matter of making an appointment until the return of the absent members of the Cabinet. Nominations of Supervisors by Commissioner Rollins, Commissioner Rolling has prepared a list contain- ing fifteen names of parties whose appointments as Supervisors tinder the new spirits and tobacco tax law he has recommended to the Secretary of the Treasury, and it 18 now on file in the appointment office of the department awaiting consideration. It is not probable they wil! be acted upon for several days. Applications for these positions, which are only twenty-five in number, are becoming quite numerous, and considerable pressure is being brought to bear in aid of the diferent appitcants, The disposttion of the department seems to be to have them appointed from among the most meri- torlous officers who are now in the service of the Internal Revenue Bureau. The Treasury reguiations regarding the drawback for exportation under the new law will be issued | to-morrow. Description of the New Stamps for Distillers? | Use. The Printing Bureau of the Treasury Department is now actively engaged in printing the tax-paid stamps for distilled spirits, in accordance with the new revenue law. The stamps are abont five inches square, with a handsome vignette representing the reaping of grain, and are made of ten different de- nominations, from twenty to one hundred and thirty. Each denomination of stamps has nine coupons at- tached, so that these ten stamps will answer for any number of ganged gallons between those numbers. They are bound in books, with stamps attached to | each stamp, like bankers’ checks, and being charged | for thetr full vaiue to the collector be gets credit for ail unused coupons rematning in the book on its return; and thus the system operates as @ check upon the collector, preventing fraud either by collusion or otherwise, The method by which re-use, or the use A second time, of the stamp 18 prevented is new and | ingenious. The stamp ts pierced with @ large hole in the centre, which is covered by @ thinner- paper before printing. After it is printed and at tached to the barrel it cannot be soaked off and re- used, as the beer stamps have been, because the stamp will come of in two pieces, which, from their pecuilar construction, cannot again nited on an- other barrel, ihe stamp is permanently defaced by any attempt to remove it. One peculiarity of the stamp is that it cannot be printed except | by what is known aa the dry process, by field, is in Washington collecting material for his forthcoming history of that batile. The government have placed at his disposal the oiicial records of both armies, Secretary Schofleld is expected to return from New- | Ne port, R. L, on Thursday next.

The appearance of the Embassy on the steamer cre- ated quite a sensation among the crowds of passen- gers thus surprised in having their trip up the ro- mantic Hudson enlivened by the presence of Burlin- game, the veritable philosophic Tajeus and the interesting students. It was evident the diversion of having the Chinese as subjects for contemplation and the themes of a multitude of inquiries, when the precipitous heights of the Palisades, the rugged outiines of the Uighlands, the pow | summits of the Ontskills or the ever changing and more open land- acape of the river above had ceased to enlist the at- tention, was a treat unlooked for and therefore the more engaging. The first appearance of the Embasay ‘on board gave rise to @ litde prelimimary curiosity, but the hurry gud confusion of starting, the presence of friends, the looking after baggage and a number of other inconveniences for a time distracted the curiosity of the passengers. Punctually at half-past seven o’clock the signal bell in a moment infused life into every part of the monster craft swinging at her moorings. Out of the siip she forced her way into the expansive waters of the bay. From her stern floated the blue dragon of China. The scene presente from the deck of one of the palatial Hudson river steamers is already fa- millar to every ons who appreciates the beau- tiful or whose means have enabled hin to make the river trip. The entire length of the bay, sweeping off in the distance and looking out through tue dim por- tals of the Narrows upon te broar waa, the white wings of commerce coming and going, the docks crowded with shipping and the wharves t with busy toiling wanity—all these ar is of never tiring interest to those who have repeatedly looked upon thein, To the reflecting minds of the Celestial sages these were contemplated with the deepest feelings of wonder and almost awe. “An! Aa! good, good,” exclaimed the — amiable Sun. Certain responding articulations trom the more reserved and undemonatrative Clith see:ed to endorse the observations of lis colleague. ‘hese reflections were, however, svon interrupted by a circle of curious persons gathering aronnd, giggling and staring the atibassadors out of countenance, Before the steamer had been half an hour under way, but fairly entered the river, the Chinese had become quite familiar with the dierent parts of the boat and consequently felt more at home, Out of the five hundred and more passeugers on board when the steamer left the wharf probably not a score within this time had uiased having wt least a % If this had f could be 8 been the least inconvente but the annoyance of autograph seekers immediately commenced, and it was only by secking refuge within the privacy of their state roows that Mr. Bur- ame and the ainbassadora could escape the pe: severance of this class of admirers.

The Commissioners represent said section ready for present service, completed and equipped as o first class railroad, and that the telegraph line is completed for the same distance. The Sec- retary of the Interior recommends the acceptance of the report and the Issue to the railroad company of the bonds due them under the act of Congress and of the patents for lands due on the said sections, as the company has paid the Commissioners the per diem and mileage due them on account of their ex- amination.
