Nothing could.have been finer than the run for home, Like so many race- horses the yachts came speeding to the flagboat neck and neck, and although there was far from that uprourious excitement whieh ever characterizes dis- plays of the tarf, a quiet feelaz of real interest and earnest expression was mantested by every witnessed i, For along time a pretti not b held, in a yachtiug potnt of view, and she recollection of the watery chase will linger in the minds of magy, ‘Phe details of the race were decid- edly ginteresting, aud are accordingly enumerated.

With the epiion of the Paliner all the yachts got off beautifully, the sloops being nearly abreast until the Narrows were reached, ‘The Palmer, however, by some strange event seemed laboring under some diMeculty, when it was at last observed that she Was hauling her anchor while her companions were quitting her at a rapid rate, As for the other two schooners,the Sylvie kept to wind- ward and glided gracefully along, the Phantom creeping stcadily in her wake. The cluster of sloops was a pretty sight; all moved together and so far the contest was quite haruionious. A light breeze from the southeast soon swelled their canvas, and then began the symptoms of separation. But the Palmer, like an idle schoolboy, refused to stir, and. when the sylvie, with a good lead, was at the Narrows she was skirmishing after the Phantom, whieh, too, was a.good distance in tue rear. The latter, fying her ji and jib topsail, soon showed signs of activity and rushed with evident determination after the Sylvie. ‘There was still no perceptible variation among the sloops, except that the Addie V. began to widen the dis- tance between herself and the Sadie and Gracie, both of which kept side by side for a considerable distance, the White Wing well up and the Nettle a few cable lengths behind. Being now quite clear and the breeze somewhat fresher, the Addie V. tacked towards the hospital ship and then stood to the westward and windward of Coney Island Point, The stern chase was well kept up, but the White Wing, being the first to tack across, gained somewhat. In the meantime the schooners were doing wonders, Sylvie had now a good call, Phantom glided handsomely in her wake, while the Palmer, with every stitch of canvas to the wind emerged from the Narrows. ¢ NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Zo, 1868.—LRIPLE SHEET. within the time spectted. wis one m exceptions 22 wr: 4 displayed, and it must be cal see ntestants, col the — — wo we done credit to Ameri: in an: waters where the true science ot yachting tenance .

Tt hag transpired that a number of assessors of Internal Revenue have been charging tulacco mun- ufacturers a fee of five dollars for approving the bonds they are required to render under the new revenue law. One of these tobacco dealers in Phila- delphia, not feeling entirely satisfied in regard to the right of assessors to make such @ charge, applied for information to the member of Congress representing his district, who was not aware of any such provision in the law referred to, but who promised to ascer- tain the truth in the matter. He accordingly called upon the Commissioner of Internal Reyenue, who informed him that any aasessor who charged a fce for approving the bonds did so without authority of law. The defence made by certain asse-sors is that the fee taken for this purpose is intended to be used in supporting the political campaign.
