He now tells us that it will not yield ‘pyar one-half of the amount—six hundred ita dollars—set down to that item by ip the budget for the current year. fe must, however, give the Mexican republic e credit of having increased its receipts over those of the intervention period. During the five years and a half of the intervention the erage receipts, apart from loans, were but a ttle over thirteen million dollars annually. Moverdy Johnson’s Mission and Its Result. ‘ Reverdy Johnson's visit to England as @alted States Minister will prove valuable in One sense, It has already drawn expression 4f opinion and sentiment from the whole coun- ‘Ary, and this expression can hardly fail to be Jostructive to the men at the head of the Bri- fish government. This spontaneous expression Indicates better than could all the despatches Aa the world the attitude that the people wish ® representative of American interests in {England to observe toward the government that puts us off without reparation for injuries ‘Gone, and there could have been contrived no fore effective or satisfactory way of letting Englang kuow the ultimate conviction of the ‘whole American people in regard to the Ala- Dama clains. { There haa been a notion in England—par- ticularly in government circles—that outside the victims to the depredations of the Alabama Yhe pcoople here were indifferent to this whole subject, and cared very little for any Frinciple involved in the career of the cele- brated English pirate. It was to no purpose, ‘apparently, that the case was urged from the State Department throngh Mr. Adams; for the dea we bintat had taken tolerably firm posses- sion of officiel minds, and her Majesty's Minis- ters, in a spirit of superiority peculiarly Eng- lish, chose to look over the heads of those who spoke officially for us and to act on their own conceptions of the state of feeling here. It was in vain, therefore, that our secretaries spoke very firmly, and in vain that others in- formed of American opinion declared that both Mr. Adams and Mr. Seward were rather behind than before the public sentiment. The prepossession that these gentlemen only pur- sued the point for thesake of political capital, to be secured when they should announce o triumph involving the withdrawal of the Bri- _ tish Ministry from a point definitely taken, stood in the way of adjustment, and none saw how to remove it. Finally, this is likely to be removed ina Most unforeseen way. Our Minister in Eng- laud proves to be just such a man as the Eng- lieh officials are charmed to receive. He does ‘not bother them much with the Alabama plaims, and this at once justifies their notion that the constant urging of those claims was only a kink of Mr. Seward’s, not an inspiration from the people. Besides this the new Minis- ter makes himself agreeable and acts gene- rally in a way likely to give the English people the impression that between their government and ours thera is the best possible un derstand- fing. As eoon as all this becomes known in the Polted States it is denounced from one end of the country to the other, and the whole press, without regard to party, repudiate the conduct of a representative who ignores the Alabama ‘guestion and hobnobs with men who deny our fights. By this time her Majesty’s Ministers probably know that the Alabama question is one that is pressed by the people. Tae Revorvtion iy Cusa,--The news from the island of Cuba, published fn to-day’s Heratp, shows that the ‘Pearl of fhe Antilles” is violently shaken by insurrec- tionary-parties and may suddenly be plucked from the crown of Spain. The government of the island, itappears, has been hiding the full facts from the public. Incendiary documents were circulated even in Havana to atir up the slaves, and a huge scare was the result. A jutionary committee issued a manifesto re- citing the grievances of the island under Spanish rafe and the enormous contributions ‘thas had to make to the national treasury. For 1868 the Intter amount to thirty-three mil- Jions of dollars, This revolutionary committee flemand popular suffrage, the right to vote their own taxes, a dissolution of the army, a wilitia system, liberty of the press, of speech, of education, &a., and the abolition of slavery.

Those who know anything about the character of the distinguished guesia indulged many conjectures as to the real object of their visit to this country, and think it suffictently singular to be worthy of remark that a Prussian and an Aus- trian, occupying such exalted positions in their re- spective countries, should be travelling 80 amicably together on a foreign tour. The only explanation yet given of their object in visiting this country that bears any semblance of probability is that they are in search of new ideas in military science as de- veloped in our late “little unpleasantness," and for that purpose they intend to visit several of tho more {mportant battle fields of the rebellion. Trade With Eastern Russia. At a recent interview with the Direcior of the Moscow Custom House, our Consul at-that city asked for information relative to the tariff for Asiutic trade and was informed that in the east of Siberla the customs frontier line runs north and sontl just east of Jokutsk and Lake Baikal, and that duties are levied only on tea and goods of European produc- tions. East of that is free territory. That to the south of Stheria and Turkistan the customs line ran until very recently close to Orenburg and the Ural river; bat this has been abolished. No duties are now collected on goods coming from Central Asia. Such goods are principally cotton, silk and fruits, silk goods and carpets of a kind which cannot be made in Russia.

Strong influences, amoug which were the assurances of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the member of the committee who framed tue bill, were brought to bear upon Mr. Rollins to convince him that such was not the intenilon of the law; but the Commissioner fatled to be convinced, and the matter was referred to the Attorney General for his opinion. That opinion has been given, and the con- struction of the law as given by the Internal Revenue Bureau bas been set aside. Mr, Evarts holds that ho separate tax accrues upon what is known among distillers as singlings, doublings and backings— singliogs being the wiiakey after one distillation, which becomes doublings by redistillation. The tax, he thinks, should attach when the distilled spirits go to the receiving room forsale. The effect of this decision will be to start multitudes of stalls that had ceased operations under tie unjustly severe pressure of the law, which subjected manufacturers to double tax. Very few stills have been working since the effect of the law was experienced, and one of the consequences of such stagnation is that the public revenue from this hitherto prolific source has been diminished to a remarkable extent. The ac- tivity that will be created by the publication of the Attorney General's decision will bring a welcome in- crease of the roceipts from distillation. Geing Home to Vote.

J. Mountain Boy, Lady Thorn asd Others Trot for Pursee—A Largo Number of Visitors. Midway between Newark and Elizabethtown and & few hundred yards west of the New Jersey Rail- road, in an amphitheatre formed by the surrounding hills, are situated Waverley Park and trotting track. The location of the place ts decidediy picturesque everything that is passing on the grounds below, The gradual slope of the hills was crowded with elegant vehicles and many of lesser note, all their inmates seeming to bo as well satlafled with their Posifions as if they were on the grand stand, the scene beneath being unobstructed in every direc- tion, The attendance altogether was unexpect- edly large, the stands, fleld and, in fact, every part being thronged with the beauty and fastdon of New Jersey. The track is but half a mite in circumference, with an unequal surface, being up hil! and down dale, and answers very well for road or ordinary trotting horses, but not for those of the first clase, Uneven tracks are always @angerous to horses powaeased of great speed. Few owners will risk them at such hazards and espectatly on half-mile tracks, whore the abrupt turns detract Greatly from the speed of tong-striding horses, who dare not extend themselves wutle rounding them, From the location of Waveriey Park and tts beautiful natural surroundings, together with its ease of ac- cess from this city, we are inclined to the belief that if the present track were changed to one of a mile in circumference and properly graded it would prove & place of great attraction to residents of this and Surrounding cities, Agricultural fair grounds should always have mile tracks when poasibio. Premiums for speed are always given at such fairs, and the trotting of fast horses 3 one of the principal attrac- tions and never fails to secure a large atiendance. We are not in favor of half-mile tracks, for the aimplé reason that they are unfavorable to a fair exhibition of the powers of a horse, who must have Scope and verge enough to extend himself at every point. There can he no more forcible tilustration of our remarks than the race that took place yesterday between Mountain Boy and Lady Thorn, which, to a practised eye, lvoked very much Hke hippodroming, the driver of Lady t'hora not yenturing to urge lier for fear of mishap to her ia iyship, the more so as she has a match with Lucy for $2,000 which wiiltake place Very shorily.
