Patriot Accounte—Insuberdimation of the Slavee—Movements of Quesada and Jore @an-Several Skirmishes—Conscription. WASHINGTON, August 18, 1869, Letters from Cuba to the 9th inst. give encou! ing accounts of the hopes and situation of the revo- lutionary forces. The recent general conscription ordered by De Rodas, at the command of the Volun- teer Ayuntamiento at Havana, it 1s sald, has the effect of largely increasing their forces, The order gives great satisfaction to the Cuban leaders, who report themselves prepared for active fleld opera- Uons, The feeling of discontent and insubordina- tion among the slaves ts reported to be increasing, and they are now beyond control, They demand their freedom, and exact from the Spanish govern: ment their liberty, as declared by the Cespedes gov- ernment; and, denied this, they are o! jing and arming themselves for the purpose joining the Cuban army. Several contests have taken place between the ne- groes and the Spanish troops. The negroes success- fully defended themselves, even against superior forces, General Quesada has had several skirmishes with portions of the force of Lesca, and reports that his forces have been successful and have taken & number of prisoners, who are held as prisoners of war, ana that the desertions and voluntary enfist- ments from the enemy have greatly increased his force, Ina week or ten days he expecta to take possession of Nuevitas, and have control of @ for- tiled town on the coast, A General Jordan's army ts being gradually rein- royged by Cubans conscripted, whose sympathteg are with their countrymen. The Spanish forces in his district are inactive, and he 1s confident that everything is working right for Cuban independ- ence, and that in a short time his recruits will be organized and made effective, and that tne few po- sitions held by Valmaseda in his department will fall into his hands, Both of the generals command- ing and the President of the republic of Cuba ex- press the most positive belief that the revolution will be successful, if not by the force of arms by the force of circumstances, SAINT THOMAS.

A good deat of unnecessary excitement was created in certain circles in this city yesterday by the announcement that the Commissioner of Cus- toms at Washington had decided that the fees col- lected by the Collector of New York under State and municipal laws are unconstitutional, and that they shall hereafter in no instance be collected, and that the effect of this decision would be the abolishment of all fees except the following, imposed by the United States:—A tax of thirty cents per ton an- ually on vessels to the Colleotor of Customs for the different ports where they belong, a8 weil as fees for necessary papers and United States Hospital money. The following are mentioned as among the fees abplished:—Harbor tonnage tax, pilot, license and half-pilotage laws, port warden fee laws, oyster ton- nage tax jaws, State head money fee laws, State hospital tax laws, one per cent gross amount of freight laws and quarantine fee laws. It 1s almost needless to’ state that this “decision” will not in the least change the present mode of col- lecting the fees ‘under State and municipal laws;’ for the simple reason that the Commisstonor of Cus- toms has not been delegated with the power of the United States Supreme Court, to wit, that of de- ciding what are and what are not unconstitutional laws. The Custom House folks regard the letter of instruction to Collector Grinnell as rather a good Joke, not to put too fine pointon it. Itis under- stood that Mr. Grinnell has written a letter to the Secret of the Treasury, in which he calls his at- tention to the letter of the Commissioner, and asks if the closing paragraph of the epistle really means all it would seem to mean. It is the opinion of the Collector that the Commissioner intended in his letter simply to state that he believed the collecting of the fees “under State and municipal laws’ by the United States Collector was unconstitutiona’ and not that the laws which authorize the collec- tion of these fees are unconstitutional. And this because the fees themselves are fixed by the State islature, Which also passed the laws authorizi their collection, and are therefore altogether beyon: the jurisdiction of the Commissioner. The fees which the Commissioner has reference to in his letter were always collected by the Collector of the Port, as a matter of accommodation to those most concerned. For instance:—On the arrival of & vessel at this port the owners greatly prefer to pay all the fees they are compelled to pay by either State, municipal or United si laws, at one and the same time, than to make separate transactions of each. Hence the practice of the collection of the State fees by the United States Collector. ‘The Geolaion of pe Commissioner ames the usual be le of colle rr 10 are CQ) to pay them determi with Ree nad that the laws are uncone itu it JOM 20-v6+. .. 5 tiona’ wer consequently refuse to pay, we Collect py states that he, not having any direct authority 9 ak | the collection, will, of course, nov jusist upon pay- ment. But in such a contingency thé Stace Suthori- | ties would certainly collect them in their own Waj, which would, in the long run, be rather inconvent- ent to those who would refuse to follow the old time- honored practice, If the Commissioner’s decision were as all power: ful as a decision of the United States Supreme Court the retunding of fees collected dunng years gone by would amount to millions of dollars, “It is the general opinion of the Custom House authorities that the Secretary of the Treasury, who alone has the right to instruct the collectors, will not sustain a Commissioner in the peculiar stand he bas en. itis dificult to perceive how the Commissioner can, by a decree, abolish regulations provided tor by United States statutes, which he 1s appoited simply toenforce. In one or two instances there seems to be some validity in his action, as in the case of cities whose municipal authorities may have levied tonnage fees upon vessels for the sup- ee of a harbormaster, in which class Georgetown, included, The Oyster law of Virginia, enacted during Governor Wise’s term of oftice, may also come within the range of the Commissioner's order, together with the collection of one per cent tax on certain freight collected in some ports; but how the Commissioner proposes to enforce his order, which in effect abolishes our quarantine, the Board of Emi- ae and our pilot system, with other State insti- utions of taxation, seems a mystery, The State hospital tax and quarantine fees are the principal means of support of those institutions; and the State head money of two dollars and fifty cents, collected from each immigrant, amounting last year to $534,215, is the qnly source of revenue of our State Board of Emigration. The receipts to the State from pilot licenses, taxes, &c.. amount to about $400,000 per year; and the other fees atfected by the order, ‘although less in the aggregate, are equally important, from the fact that they support indispensable harbor oiticers. Tne harbor masters’, Pepe and State hospital fees are collected at the Custom House by courtesy, and are taxed by the Custom House, charging two and a half per cent for collect: The pilot fees, port warden fees, &c., are all collected by regularly appointed State ofiiciais, aud contribute to the maintenance of those oiticers.

WASHINGTON, August 18, 1869, Discharge of Callahan, the Richmond Police Captain—The Sequel of the Murder of Kelly Before the Election. The following has been recelvea from Rich- mond:— ‘The week preceding the election a very desperate man, named Joseph Kelly, the leader of the roughs of the conservative party, was shot and killed in this city by Captiin Callahan, of the police, while the latter was arresting him. Callahan was formerly a captain in the Confederate army and in charge of Castle Thunder here during the war. He turned radical, however, and took the oath, and Kelly pro- claimed himself his bitter foe. It was well known that they were deadly enemies. The homicide caused intense excitement in the community, owing to the fact that the affair was viewed in a political light. General Canby ordered Callahan to be tried by military commission, and the following result of the trial was made public to-day :— BHeapquarrens First Mtuitary Disreict, RiouMOND, Va, A 17, 1869.

The Discussion Over Judge Dent's Leiter to Secretary Boutwell. Judge Dent's letter to Secretary Boutwell was the general theme of discussion in government circles to-day. Dent 1s credited with a good deal of bold- ness and independence in taking issue with the President and at the same time making war on the Secretary of the Treasury. It is not thought that Boutwell will reply to Dent's letter, but if he does the understanding ts that the Judge will come out with a rejoinder. Among the clerks in the Treasury Department, where Tullock is very unpopular, that part of Dent's letter which alludes to him as Bout- well’s tool is highly relished. Tullock, although ap- pointed Collector of Internal Revenue for this dis- trict, is still supervising the appointment bureau of the Treasury, and the clerks are compelled to enjoy their satisfaction quietly, Decree In the Texas Railroad Litigation Case.

SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—Another of those horrifying railroad murders took place on the Mor- rig and Essex Railroad near the depot here on Tues- day afternoon, the victim being a brakeman, named Valentine Yauch, a German, residing at Stewards. ville, It appears that he was attached to the freight train that reaches here from New York at 2:20 P. M., and was sodeavoring, to get aboard the train with some peaches while the cara were in motion, when he slipped and fell under the wheels. Both legs were horribly mangled, One of them was amputated by Dr. Gray, but only with the hope of prolonging his lie until the arrival of his wife; the other was permitted to remain; but he died before she arrived. An inquest was held by Justice Littell, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facls. Communipaw. Tue ABATTOIR INJUNCTION.—A motion was made before Chancellor Zabriskie yesterday by Mr. Win- field, counsel for the Stock Yard Company, for such @ modification of the injuneiion as will enable sald company to dispose of the cattle now on their way from the West. The motion rested on the ground that the injunction was issued tn such a summary manner that the company were taken unawares and will be subjected to serious 1 ‘whereas if due no- tice had been given they would have been able to dispose of all the live stock under their charge be- fore the injunction could take effect, The Chancellor denied the motion, but construed the terms of the injunction in a liberal spirit, ex- jlaining how far the defendants were bound by it, fr'tiie meantime the company have secured the ser- vices of @ competent chemist and a distinguished member of the Hudson County Medical Society to analyze the water underlying the abattoir in order to ascertain whether there be any noxious elements therein. It 18 most unfortunate for the company that the dumping process has been carried on in the neighbor! of the abattoir by the Central Ratlroaa Company, #0 that the enemies of the abattoir have an opportunity of ascrioing the stench, which in reality arises from the dump, t@ the refuse ying at tho wlaughier verde 5 BROOKLYN Ni SULIGENCE, ~ Taw WATER Boarp ENsoingp.—Yesterday the Board of Water and Sewerage Commuissiuers were served with a temporary injunction restraining them from proceeding with the work of ry i Bridge street with Belgian pavement.

THE CANAL CONTROVERSY.—The litigation ia re~ gard torunning a canal across Third avenue, be- tween Third and Fifth streets, was wound. up yes- terday, so far as the residents east of the canal and the Brooklyn Improvement Company are concerned. Judge Tappen granted an order permitting the Brookt, Improvement Company to cut a canal THE TRINITY CHURCH PROPERTY. The attorney reported that there was a large por- tton of the Trinity church property north of Canal street and west of Broadway whieh required more berfect sewerage. He stated that in most of the cases two years’ leases had been given to old occu- Panta, These occupants were willing to establish the sewer connections provided the church corpora- thro the si the surface of the street to be tlon would renew the leases, and not otherwise.

A BROOKLYN NUISANCE. Inspectors Fisk and Brady reported at length upon the condition of the glue factory corner 01 Saulord and Ewen sireets, Brooklyn, in which they represent that itis in a highly unsanitary condition, evokes disgusting and unhealthy odors. and should be abated. The report was referred back to the Assist- ant Sanitury Supermtendent of Brooklyn for his report, HOG SLAUGHTERING, The Sanitary Superintendent having reported in favor of revoking the permit for Moagasser & Co.'s hog slaughtering establishment, 448 West Fitty-fourth street, and the Board having issued an order to the firm to show cause why the permit should not be re- voked, Mr. Mongasser was heard. He denied that it was kept 1a an unsanitary condition, asserted that all the neighbors, but one man in the same business, were anxious for its continuance, The permit was revoked by an unanimous vote. BASE SLANDERS REFUTED. It having been reported that the condition of the St. Francisco Hospital, on Filth street, near avenue A, Was in a filthy condition, that foul ordors were generated and that patients exposed themselves at the windows, areport was made by an inspector who represents the Reco ad unfounded and the hos- pital in an excellent sanitary condition. CATTLE DRIVING. One of the owners of the Communipaw Abattoir represented that they nad secured a boat to convey animals direct trom their yards toa point foot of West Forty-eighth street, to some point on the east side, and to convenient points ia Brooklyn and Wil- lamsbarg, so as to do away with cattle driving im the city. By resolution the ordinance was aimended 80 ag to permit the company to land caitle at ueces- sary points. appolat such comuit- given at a previous meeting, and tm: Tee and such subordinate olicers as may be deemed proper for the transaction of its uifairs and promotion of the ends of itsorganization, and to provide such regulations as may seem proper for the raising of sich funds as may be neces- sary to carry forward the purposes of this association, Mr. Cuuxcu remarked that, before taking the vote upon this important question as to who shail be elected officers of the association, it would be well to have @ list of those Wio iutend to become mem- bers. It was moved by Mr. SHEPARD that when the meeting adjourned ti should do so to meet again at the same time and p ace on that day week, for the purpose ot electing officers. Mc. Cuuncy, who appeared to be one of the lead- jog spirits of the movement, said that they wanted for President aman that could neither ve bought or sold. They did not wish to make any party dis- tinction in the selection of oficers whatever, but they wanted honest and capable men, who were free to act so, and were indepeodent of party restraint or control, They wanted men in the movement who would give confidence to the public. Mr. Tonir offered for insertion in the constitution an article providiig “that no member of the asso- ciation shall become a candidate for office, and that ali known and notorious politicians will be excluded from membership."” Mr. CHURCH opposed such an amendment as being tantamount to disfranchisement. If Mr. Kalbileisch would become President of the Citizens’ Reform As- sociation, with his energy, weight, means and power, he (Mr. Church) for one, would vote for his election, mm order that the influence which Mr. Kalo- fleisch could bring to bear, might be available for the advancement of the interests of the association, Mr. Tosrr did not want the association to be the grindstone of Martin Kalbfeisci. Messrs. Henry, Harteau, John F. Hennessey, and several other gentiemea pee Tobit’s amendment to the constitution, and the question being put it was lost. A large number of persons then came forward and signed the constitution and bylaws of the associa- tion, and after some further debate the mecting ad- journed for one week.
