WaAsutnaron, Oct, 19, 1809, Satisfaction of the President at the Mlection of Senators from Virginin—No Obstacle in the Way of Representation in Congress— Effect of General Canby’s Report. ‘The President to-day, in conversation with a mem- ber of his Cabinet, expressed great satisfaction at the action of the Virgima Legislature in selecting men for the United States Senate who can take we iron-clad oath, Having ratified the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and complied im other respects with the reconstruction acts, he did not see any obstacle to her admission to representation in Congress, and he hoped there would be none. The President seems to entertain a high opinion of Gov- ernor Walker, of Virginia, He intimates that so far Governor Walker has adhered to all the pleages he had made the President, and the latter regards him as @ strictly honest man, Whatever opposition may be made by the defeated Wells party to the admission of Vir- ginia it is evident she will have tne support of the President, Who 18 honestly anxtous for the represen- tation of ail tue States in Congress at the earliest Ume possible, It is believed that the report of Gen- eral Canby relative to the manner in which the elec- tion was conducted, to which aliusion waa made in these despatches a few days ago, will have an im- portant influence upon the radicals in Congress, Ben Butler, who is relied upon as the leader of the Opponents of admission, said, when here some ume ago, that except there was some proof of fraud hay- ing been practised or intimidation used be saw no reagon for setting Une election aside or refusing to admit the State, New Regulations for United States Consuls in Great Britain, The temptations offered to United States Consuls in Great Britain to engage in commercial transac- tious and to use their positions tor personal gain and aggrandizement are 80 great and are so frequentiy yielded to that the Department of State, it is said, is seriously contemplating measures that will, it 18 be- Heved, ®revent such abuses. It 13 proposed to apply to the Consuls the system adopted by the Internal Revenue Bureau with regard to supervisors of tter- nal revenue, and change them around from place to place, So that they shall not be long enough tn one place to allow them to form commercial relations. In this way it is believed the government would be better served and the Consuls be kept from violating their instructions.” The proposed term of service in each place will be fixed at one year. An Important Decision. The Commissioner of the General Land Ofmice nas recently made the following rulings, viz.:— First—That pre-emptors npon lands in Minnesota, whose settlements were made before survey, but which aiter the extension of the lines of survey are found upon odd numbered sections, within the limits of @ railroad gray, are entitled ‘to the right of preemption tnereto, in virtue of the act ot March 27, i854 (vol. 10, page 269, United States stat- ulgs at Large), upon compliance with the require- méhts of the pre-emption laws. Second—That homestead entries can only be made upon surveyed lands after the return to the proper District Land Office of the oficial plot of survey, Also that the right of a settler under the Homestead law attaches only at and from the date of entry, therefore a person who has settled upon lands within the raliroad limits before survey or withdrawal cannot obtain a titie thereto under the Homestead statutes, but must “prove up” and pay for his claim, under the act of March 27, 1854. Fines Against Railroads for Making Erroneous Returns, Supervisor Dutcher, of New York, has recently been pursutpg investigations concerning certain railroad compantes in that State, and reports to the Internal Revenue Bureau that examination of the New York and Flushing, the Flushing and North Shore and the Flushing and North Side railroads, now under one management and located in the First district, show that they had not made proper returns of dividends, interests and undistributed profits due February and August, 1869. Upon these amounts not returned ts due the five per centum tax, which will amount to $2,000, to which there will be added fifty per centum penalty and an assessment of four fines, of $1,000 each, for not making proper returns. Other revenue oficers report that having examined’ the accounts of the Brooklyn city rail- roads of the Third district they found that the compa- nies‘ omitted to return the interest on the bonds due August, 1868, and February ana August, 1869; that they had made erroneous returns of the dividends on the undtstribntable profits fcr the same periods, ‘The tax due, with 100 per centum added for false returns, will amout to $17,000, with three fines of $1,000 each. The Supervisor also examined the accounts of the Coney Island and Brooklyn City Railroad Company, in the Second district, and found erroneous revurns of smal amounts only. Commis- sioner Delano has directed the assessors to assess these taxes, penalties and fines against these roads, und ordered collectors to collect the same. Executive Appointment. Tha President to-day appointed John W. Dixon Collector of Customs for the District of Yorktown, Virginia. The Government Printing OMice. In reference to published statements that the government bas lost $7,000 or $8,000 by an error at the Government Printing Office in printing the pub- lic document known as “Commercial Relations,"’ in- quiry in the proper quarter shows that the toss, which amounts to only afew hundred dollars, was Promptiy assumed by the employes in fault, and consequentiy the government will lose nothing vy the error.

Others, and good experts too, insisted that the spurious seven-thirtics were printed on an electrotype plate, aud, there- fore, must have been done in the Trea- sury print establishment, where the origi- nal (bad all the time remained under the charge of Mr, Clark.

The tax, with pen- alties and costs, were paid by the bank under protest, and to avoid a distraint, To recover back the sum #0 paid tis aciion was brought, and, upon a divi sion of opinion below, the following questions were certified u) irst, Whetiter the second clause of the mint ect of the act of Congress of the 1th of duly, 18 under which the tax in this case was assessed and collected, 13 a valid and constitutional law? Second, whether that clause conferred the legal and constitutional power upon the defendant, under tus warrant [rom the assessor to collect the fax in this case of the plainti™? Third, whether Congress possessed the power under the con- the provision that statute, and to authorize the and collection of the tax in case? On the part of the bank it is insisted that the tax in question 4 unconstitutional, because it is a direct tax without apportionment among the States; because, if not a direct tax, then It Violates the rule of uniformity required by the constitutjon; because it is hot a tax imposed for revenue, but lmposed in order to tax out of existence the banks of the States. While not imposed for revenue it 18 in effect an en- croachment upon and usurpation of the municipal power of the separate States. It is unconstitutional because the effect of the tax is to take, without compensation, private property, namely, the fran- chise of the banks of the States. The Attorney General argugs that the tax 14 not a@ direct tax within the meaning oi the constitution, aad is not @ tax capable of being apportioned among the States, according to numbers. It Ls an excise, or duty, upon a@ branch of business, or the mode of carrying on business of the sane description by all corporations of a certain charac- ter. Congress would have the constitutional right to prohibit what they thus ‘undertake to tax; and whatever they may prokibit (not ma/um in se) they may regulate or permit upon condition. It Con- gress have the power to tax the degree of taxation 1g not to be regarded by this Court, but is withia the discretion of Congress, whose motives cannot be inquired into within the scope of thelr constitu- tuona! functions. The power to tax inciudes the power to make taxation burdensome, destructive Lo particuiar branches of business. The uniformity required in taxation {9 not violated by an exemption made on puolic grounds, the excep- tion being, in itself, uniform in ali the States.

Horace vley’s Lecture. Laat evening Mr. Horace Greeley delivered a lecture on men who had made themselves, to a large audi- ence in the Fortieth street Presbyterian church. He went in full tlt at collegiate and ,School systems, and endeavored to show that the workman-immi- grant was absorbed sooner into onr industrial popu- Jauon than the merely educated man. Frankun he took to be the true prototype ot a sel!-made man— equally at home as a mechanic as m literature and diplomacy. Boone, the pioneer of Kentucky, would have been another specimen, had he not been spoiled by “loafing.” Burns was the most perlect lyric, but would never have risen to the sublime stmplicity of pathos and pass:on had he graduated at Oxford or Cambridge. Thronghout the lecturer used a pro- fuston of gilded rhetoric which the Oxonian profes- ‘sors of that art would not recommend, and his indig- nation against schools and colleges because they were not universal ladustrial workshops and pleas- ure gardens was regarded by such of the audience as Were unacquainted with the speaker’s peculiar aspirations as being eminently Quixotic. WILLIAMS” LITERARY UNION. “Pain would I climb, but that I fear to fall,” wrote Sir Waiter Raleigh on @ pane of glass, to which Queen Klizabeth appended, “if thy heart fail thee do not climb at all.” The admonition is as appli- cable to those who seek literary fame as those who “put their trust in princes.” The smiles of the muses are even more capricious than the pro- verbially fickle smiles of princes, and the great heart of Sir Walter must tind reflection 'fn the bosoms of many members of the “Wiliams’ Literary Union,” who essayed their tenth anniversary last night at Allemannia Hall, West Sixteenth street. This association spi from the loins of the Houston street night school of 1859, nas existed to tnis time with success, but now the mem: bers feel that those who embark their ail in literary pursuits are about the same as those who invest wyery cent in a lottery, in wiuch there is a rumous number of blanks to every prize, Their order of exercises, however, was well selected and tie audi- ence was a fair representation of the richness of character and contrasts of American society, and the manifold varieties of life and circumstances which it represents. Messrs, S, M. Lion (president), James Dunne, David Legare and J. Komfeid, with Misses Annte Rathe and Juita Teyn acquitted th seives fairly, while the residue, in argumentative and elocutionary ability were only mediocre.
