Morse, stating that no enumerator had called at his house, when 1, us the enumerator, had called twice to get the neces- sary information. [ called at Mr. Morse’s house abont the middie of July last and saw one of the servants, whose name, I believe, was Bridget Kane. She was very particular in inquiring into my bus. ness. 1 explained to her in as few Words as possible that I was ap Assistant Marshal taking the United States census, and would like to see a merber of the family. She told me there was no one home. ‘This assertion I doubted, as i had good reason to think etnerwi-e, and concluded I would call again next day. ‘called the next day and saw a servant, who said there was no one nome, I was about leaving, when I met a colored man servant, whose name Ibelteve to be Henry Simon, and irom him L for the required information, after considerable trouble. He seemed to be very backward ln giving me the names, and [ concluded that he was instructed to treat me so. As we often have to call three or four times to get names at one residence I concluded to take the names from him, in order to save trouble, as he seemed to have athorough knowledge of the whole family, In conclusion I would say that Mr. Morse ‘was rather too hasty in his conclusions, for if he had called at the Marshal’s oftice he would have seen that [had done ty duty as census taker.

Berthemy, ex- agyerating all the circumstances of the departure of the vessel, representing that there could be Little doubt that it was a privateer, and declaring that the Unijed States authoritics had been derelict in their duties, Armed with tots information M. Ber- themy proceeded, in his dignified way, to the State Department, notified Aciing Secretary Davis of the facts and asked for an explanation, demanding that steps shouid be taken for the apprehension of the privateer before damage should be done to French commerce, Mr. Davis recog- nized the gravity of the situation, He supposed there must be something in the story, otherwise a Mman of M, Berthemy’s gravity would never have | Mnade it the subject of oficial conversation. Ac- cordingly Mr. Davis assured ihe Minister that prompt steps would be taken to overhaul the Sam Hyam, and that in the meantime ho would order an investigation of the case. A messenger was de- spatched immediately to the Treasury Department torequest Judge Richardson, the Acting Secretary, to come io the State Department on important bust- ness, The Judge compiled and was then and tnere let into the terrible secret of the Prussian privateer. Judge Richardson aiso agreed that the case was one of supreme importance, and offered to co-operate fully. The Judge went back to his office and tele- graphed to the Collector of the port of Newbern for particulars regarding the escape of the supposed privateer. ‘The Collector, tujanswer, stated that he had investigated the case, and that his conclusions were that the Sam Hyam left Newbern at the time stated with a crew of four men, commanded by one Adinirai Guta; that the vessel was a market or flah- ing boat of fourteen tons burden; that she had probably gone on an inland passage via canal to some Northern port, and that, instead of contem- plating the destruction of frog eaters and such like, her only object was to capture fish—meantng no re- fection upon the diplomat at the head of the State Department, ‘This reply, shattering to atoms the privateer story, was furnished to M. Berthemy, who expressed himself satisfied and laughed. The New York Quarantine Seizures. Acting Secretary Richardson has received from Collector Murpny, of New York, @ copy of Dr. (ar- nochan’s reply to the letters of instructions sent by the Secretary relative to the forcible seizure of goods while in transit from Perth Amboy to New York. The Secretary repiles a3 follows:— As it appears that the vessels and merchandise in question have been released by the Health OMcer and delivered into the custody of the Collector of Customs, as juired by the instructions of the department, it is not deemed uecessary to give the matier any further consideration. it is hoped, however, that, as indi- cated in your letter to the Health Officer, thts con- ficting state of things which gave rise to the cor- respondence referred to will not again occur, aud that the officers of quarantine and the Customs onlicers of the port may hereafter be enabled to act in harmony and co-operate with each other in order to promote the interest of the government as well as those of the pubitc health, Activity of Politiciaus—Republicans Confident a Kendy for the Contest—Differences Among Southern Radicals Healed. An altaché of the Union Congressional Committee furnishes the following statement of the doings of that body and the prospects of the republican party in the next campaign:— While the Democratic Congressional Committee have been daily telegraphing North and South the amount of work periormed in the way of circulating docnments, &¢., the Republican Committee have been quietly aud industriously at work in the sume way, and perhaps much more effectually, Within less than tour weeks this committee has printed and circulated docu. ments amounting in the aggregate to 300,000 copics, and within the next teu days expect to seud out not less than 600,000 more. Colonel Platt, the secre- tary of the committee, is giving his entire attention u tne peaponsibte duties which devolve ou bim at ihe head of fhe pommitiee, and is in daily correspondénc? with é¥ery, doubtfnt repub- Nean and democratie disthich Ti nig try. The correspondence of the com. mittee is immense, and requires the constant labors of some iifteen or twenty clerks. Notwtih- stauding the hovefui telegrams sent out by the Dem- ocratic Commitiee the prospects of thai pariy are daily decituing, The most cheering news ts being received by the Republican Committee from dts- tricts which were, two months ago, conceded to the democrats, aud it is uow believed that very few, if any of them, wiil be lost, ‘The committee has suc- cecded tn healing the diveretices which existed in one or two of the districts in Virginia. and are ina fair way of bringing harmony oui of the chavs which has so long existed in the ranks of the repub- Jicans of Georgia. In Loutstana harmony and good feeling has been restored, as it has been in the few Eastern aud Western districts where slight defec- tons existed, As the Canvass progresses and (fig People become aroused to the importance of th election aU differences of opinion on minor issue, will be forgotten and the republican party through: out the whole leugth and breadin or the land wil show such an unbroken front as will be a sure} guarantee of success. Hard Tianes with Treasury Clerks. It seems that the duns have become a nusance around the omee of the Third Auditor of the Treas- ury. The clerks who run up bilis they can’t pay, and are pestered by their creditors, have recently been bothered more than ever, at home and abroad, at their dinner tables and at their desks in the bu- | reau of General Allan Rutherford. * The latter, and- ing his subordinates giving rather more of their time to the discussion of money matters with their creditors than comborts with Uncie Sam's interests, has issued an order forbidding future imvasion by the army of duns, and directing his subordinates to attend to all such little matters outside the depart- ment. Onerous Decision of the Rev enue Rareau. ‘The Acting Comm isstoner of Internal Revenue has made a decision Which seems to be rather hard on the tobacco people, The government holds that in all cases where tobacco 1s put upon the market without the required stamps it must be held as prima yacie evidence of an intent to commit Traud, and a curious * has turnod up under the ruling. A Louisville merchant some time — since forwarded by rail ninety cases of tobacco, anly stamped, While in transiiu the train was wrecked and the stamps washed off, mutilated or destroyed altogether by exposure to rain. This being # plain case of fair dealing, the merchant having complied with the requirements of the law, and having no desire to defraud the govern- ment, application was made to the Internal Revenue Barcaa to have the stamps re- placed, ‘The Bureau, however, refased the request, holding that stamps once afMxed become part and parcel of the packages, for which the government Is in no way responsible. The Louisville merchant, deeming this inequitable and unfair, intends to contest the decision in the courts. New Devico for Locking Cura. ‘They have not yet done with the everlasting Jock investigation here, Secretary Richardson to- day examined a new device for the greater security of the bonded cars. This new arrangement 1s some thing like Paddy's sirategy of locking the door m- side, 4t 1s prefered to have an armhoie tn each ¢ar, by which a padiock of igh workmanship caa be fastened tystde, and then the armhole covered over by a heavy iron plate, to be secured by a seal lock. secretary Richardson thiaks this a goou dea, but should some other idea -be presented Paddy's plan may ve repudiated. les of Bitters and Medical Preparation Commissioner of Internal Revenue has de: at oitiers pul up as mediclues or medicinal ona, and stamped ording tw retail price or value, as provided in seheduie C, may be sold under a dealer's or apothecary’s special tax receipts, and that for these sales It is unnecessary to obtain & hguor degler’s receits Appligalions Sox peluakprses, elu preparat | | humanity whielt stil p ment of sums paid herétofore, under different Tuilugs, Cannot be entertained by the bureau.

Im a few days he will go Sonth on @ similar mission, and then make a thorough report to the War Department recommending such changes and improvemenis as he may deem proper und ne- ccasary, Liehthouses on the Florida Const. ‘The Lighthouse Board, which held a meeting to- day, resolved to construct on Alligator reef, Florida, @ lighthouse similar to those along the Florida coast, Iv is also understood that the Board will order the speedy commenctme:t of a frat class lignthonse on Barks Island, midway between Cape Hepry and | Cape Hatteras, on the coast of North Carolina, to | replace the one destroyed during the rebellion. The Duties on Ver—A Non-Vommittal Ore ficial. Several letters have been received from merchants at the Treasury Department asking a constraction of the Tax act of July 14, 1870, regarding the duty on | teas. Acting Secretary Richardson nas replied that it is not the practice of the department to anticipate by extra Judicial constrnction the decision of cases: which may subseouently be presented for its consid- eration in due course of law.

He Leznves Long Brauch to Condole With His Bereaved Sister—A Puzzler for the Newark Politicians, The Newark politicians had a feast of political greatness in their midst yesterday. There was “Honest” John Hill going the rounds with the handsome George A.
