WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 1870. * Phe Position of the United States in Regard to the Franco-Prussian War Misuader- ntoed. at seems, according to telegrams from Europe, that the position of the United States government is ‘not understood, otherwise it would not be believed im Prague that our government “has sent a de- spaten to the American Minister at Berlin express- Ing the hope that there would now be a cessation of the war, in view of the fact that its missiou— amely, the dethronement of Napoleon—had been accomplished.” Nor would it also be believed in ‘and reported from London that “three energetic de- spatches have passed through that city from Wash- imgton to Berlin protesting against the further con- Unuation of the war.” It is known that the only oMcial despatch recently sent abroad relating to the war was on Friday, when President Grant was i Washington, addressed to Minis ter aneroft, but copies of which were also transmitted to Ministers Washburne ‘and Motley to the effect, as was ascertained at the time from an altogether reliable source, that while we cannot act in connection with other na- tions, yet if our good offices should be Fequested by both the belligerents we should be Lappy to extend them with a view of bringing about a peace between two great Powers with which we have traditional friendship. Our govern- ment will scrupulously abstain from interfering with the affairs of foreign nations, if for no other reason than because it would set a bad example and afford a pretext for foreign governments here- alter to interfere with our own. Hence it expresses ‘no opinion as to the merits of the war. The telegram to Minister Bancroft was courteously worded, 80 a3 not to give any ground for doubt as to our actual position of careiully abstaining from foreign alli- ances as to the belligerents, while always ready to exercise the offices of friendship when they shall be specifically desired by the nations at war. Postal Convention Concluded with Brazil. ‘The Superiatendent of Foreign Mails, Joseph H. Biackfan, has, by order of the Postmaster Generol, given notice that a postal convention has been con- ‘eluded between the United States and the empire of Brazil, establishing and regulating the exchange of international correspondence between the two countries This convention, which goes into opera- tion immediately, establishes a combined inverna- tional letter postage as follows:— For letters, each half ounce—fifteen grames—or fraction thereof, tifteea cents in the United States and 300 reis in Brazil; the prepayment of which is com- pulsory, and the’ letters so paid in our country are to be delivered free of all charges whatsoever in the ether. But for all correspondence other than letters dt is provided that there shall be charged and col- lected in the mailing country such rates of tnland age as are now or may hereafter be established for domestic correspondence of the same class, und in addition thereto a sea rat: of one cent on each newspaper, and for each ounce—thirty grammes—or fraction thereof. On other printed matter the tuland and sea postage shall be coubined into one rate. ‘The rates of postage hereafter to be levied and col- lected In the United States on all correspondence ex- cept letters posted therein and addressed tw Brazil by this route are therefore as follows, viz.:—News- papers, two cents per each four ounces or fraction thereof, and in addition thereto a sea rate of one cent for each newspaper. On other printed mat- ter, except books and circulars, comprising sheets Of music, engravings, lithographs, drawings, maps and plans, two cents per each four ounces or frac- Uon thereof, with the additional charge of one cent per each ounce or under for sea postage. For books four cents per each four ounces or fraction of tour ounces, in addition to the sea postage of one cent for each ounce or fraction thereof. For each three or Jess number Of unsealed circulars two ceuts, and in addition thereto one cent per cach ounce or under for sea postage. It is particularly to be observed that the above postage charges ou correspondence of all kiuds must be fully prepaid at the oiice of mailing. If not #0 prepaid they cannot be forwarded. -Newspapers, printed matter and all other mailable maiter enu- Merated herein, except ietiers, Will be charged at the office of destination in Brazil with the rates of inland postage established by tne laws of that country for dumestic correspondence of the same class. In like manner on _ news- papers, prints of all kinds and other articles of mailable matter, except letters, received in the United States from Brazil by this route there will be charged and collected at the ontice of delivery the regular domestic rates of the United States on guland postage, the charge for sea postage being liected by the despatching country. New York is the only oflice of exchange on the side of the United States, and Para, Pernambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro are the offices of exchange on the side of Brazil, Postmasters will levy and collect postage accordingly from and after this date. Spain and the Republies of Chile and Peru. Several years have passed since Spain and the allied republics of Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia were engaged in actual hostilities; but as there has been no formal negotiation of peace this administration has encouraged the recommenda- tion of ex-Secretary Seward—vhat the represent- -atives of these countries should meet in Washing- ton with a view to such action on their part. Now that a Chilean Minister has recently been fully accred- ited and was lately received in nis diplomatic ca- pacity by the President, those Mimisters will meet for the purpose stated. Some of them are now out of town, but are expected to return at an early day. No doubt 1s entertained. from the feelings which have been privately expressed, that the conference in its results will be entirely satisfactory to ail par- ties concerned. Injurious Effects of the New Consting Trade Laws—Instruactions to Collectors. Congress at its last session passed an act regula- ting the foreign and coasting trade on the frontiers which, among other things, allows the master of every vessel enrolled or licensed to clear from the Port of qne collection district to that of another, and in case they load or unioad at any intermediate port are not required to report to the collector of such port, but must enter on the manifest what has been discharged or taken on. The result of this 1s to deprive many of the lake ports of important statistical information, and numerous complaints have been received at tne Treasury Department of the, workings of the law. For example, if a ves- sel clears from Chicago for Cleveland and stops at Detrolt, Toledo or Sandusky, so far as the records are concerned there is nothing to show what freight was landed or taken on board. The Cham- ber of Commerce at Milwaukee addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury asking if something could not be done to remedy the defect. Tne Col- Jector of that port has also addressed him a letter bearing upon the same subject, m which he says that the inspectors might be instructed, in fulfilling their duties, to ascertain the names of tne vessels, their tonnage and cargoes, in order to keep up the records of the port. Although the department has no authority to require this, Acting Secretary Richardson, in reply to the address of the Chamber of Commerce and the letter of the Collector at Milwaukee, says it appears to the department de- sirabje that the Inspectors at that port should, so far as practicable, with the consent of the masters of vessels, obtain the information for statistical pur- poses required and for keeping up the records of the Custom House. Similar letters will also be sent to all the colectors of lake ports, with the view of rem- edying, a3 far as possible, the defects of the law. in the same law Congress enacted that the Secretary o1 the Treasury should, im disposing of fines and penalties tmposed or regevered for violation of cus- tom law, be governed by_@ section of an act passed in 1791, and which was repealed years ago. This same act, passed July 1, 1370, is the one discrimina- ting in favor of foreign vessels as against our own enrolied and licensed vessels. Internal Revenue Decision—S! Officials. The Collector of Internal Revenue at Key West has submitted to the Revenue Office the question whether stemmed tobacco, subsequently used in the manu- facture of cigars, is subject to the internal revepue tax as manufactured tobacco. The Acting Commis- sioner will decide that it is not. The customs’ reve- nue laws impose a duty of fifty cents per pound on stemmed tobacco. The cigar manufacturers at that place claim that they save by 80 importing it, while & does not depreciate the quality of the leaf. ‘The wondertul operation of our revenue laws 18 Silustrated ina case just decided by the Treasury Department, It apyears if American goods exported | tp Practice of NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1870.—TRIPLE are brought back and put on the market the law re- quires they shall pay a foreign import duty, the same as required by the Interna) Revenue laws. In the case in question @ cargo of manufactured tobacco ‘was shipped to a foreign port, but not Snding a market, was returned to the owners in New York. The department decided that currency was not known at the Custom House in settling impost col- lections, and that the law imposing a tax of thirty- two cents per pound on manu/actured tobacco must be paid in coim, The duties having been paid, the Collector of Internal Revenue notified the owners that the boxes must be stamped before put on the market, The Treasury Department magnanimously ordered Collector Murphy to buy topacco stamps to the amount required with the duties collected. By this operation the Treasury Department cleverly pays greenbacks for stamps, and profits by the pre- mium value of the gold paid for that purpose. Census Returas. The Census Bureau has not yet received full re- turns from any of the larger cities, but expects to recelve some during the present week. Names ‘are now coming in at the rate of two millions and @ half a day. The work of the Marshals, 6o far as received, is satisfactory to the Bureau. A Postmaster Arrested for Perjury. United States Marshal Garwood, of Virginia, has arrested Joseph Arrundell, postmaster at Farmville Station, in that state, and brought him to Alexan- dria to answer the charge of perjury in this, that he voted for the ordinance of secession and after- ward took the iron-clad oath. The case was con- tinued until Octover. Tho proceedings were instl- gated by aman who wanted his office. The California and Oregon Mail Contract. The mail route from Oroville, California, to Port- land, Oregon, transported dally by stage, a distance of six hundred miles, has finally been contracted for with Mr. Hill Beachy for $153,000 per annum. Mr. Beachy was the third lowest bidder, and received the contract because those bidding below him falled, after an extension of time had been granted by the Post Office Department , to furnish responsible bonds, The Ames-Whitney Case—Washington Shy- asters. ‘The effort to drag the name of General Dyer into the disgraceful affair between Ames, Whitney an Butler, now in the courts, turns out to be another of those shystering transactions where Wasbington lobbyists extort money by pretending to have in- fluence with the heads of departments, Dyer found himself dining with Butler, in one mstance, on the Invitation of General Harney, but does not know lus man Friday Whitney at all. A Politician’s Aspirations Defeated. A letter received here to-day from Hon. Samuel Hooper, of Boston, states that he will be a candidate for renomination in the Fourth Massachusetts dix trict, which cuts off the political aspirations of the Acting Secretary of the Treasury and Acting Attor- ney General W. A. Richardson, who expected to be CITY POLITICS. TRE GERMAN REPUBLICANS. Grand Demonstration Last Night at the Wig- wam—German Unity and the Lager Bicr Question. ‘The fall campaign in this city was inaugurated last evening among the up-town German republi- cans by a mass meeting at the Wigwam, on Forty- ninth street, near Eighth avenue, This building, sacred to politics and Father Mathew’s temperance societies, deserves a few words of descrjption. It 1s a large low-roofed structure of rough boards, with rudely-fashioned windows, capable of accommo- dating about a thousand people, It is uluminated only by some score or less of small ill-supplied gas jets, and ‘s therefore involved in perpetual gloom, while at political gatherings, when clouds of tobacco smoke roll upward to the low ceiling, the darkness isalmost Tartarean. Last evening the platform was tastefully adorned with a dingy United States flag, relieved with portraits of the two great statesmen that divide the German-American heart—Grant and Bismarck. Owing to an announcement that Gene- ral Stewart L. Woodford would speak a large au- dience was attracted, but the gallant candidate for gubernatorial honors did not appear, and the pro- maise of the managers was broken. However, the crowd took the disappointment with great good na- ture, and perhaps tey relished the energellc German ora. that was provided for their intellectual in- struction much more than they would have been de- lighted at the pious stories and the mila eloquence of the English-speaking Wooditord. Mr. KLLENGER first addressed the meeting, and ailuded both to the political campaign that had just opened and the brilliant military campaign in Eu- rope. He said, in regard to the latter, that he hoped the result of the war would be the establishment of @ great German republic in Europe, General SHARPE spoke next. He said he felt a re- currence of some old feelings he had experienced some years ago, when he had been first startied by the frigutiul and growing prevalence of public corrap- tion. ‘That was before the nation had received its baptism of blood—that baptism which was necessary to make a great people 4e had since come to take hope in the fact that German emigration bad set into the country, and he bad seen that these big, large, noble Gernian hearts were going to form exactly the clement im our society that Americans devoted wholly to business needed. Only by a very iittle had Americans escaped the stigma thrown upon Eng- land, that they were anation of shopkeepers. Gene- ral Sharpe then went into the question of the pre- sent war, showing that the democratic politicians and the democratic press had as a unit sympathized with France, while republican politicians apd repub- lican editors, from Maine to Louisiana, from Massa- chusetts to Caliornia, cried out in bugie notes 1b favor of German unity. General Sharpe closed, after defending the republican party on the lager bier question, by an appeal to the meeting to cast their ballots for General Woodford, and the soldiers’ party he represented, Severai other speakers addressed the audience, and alter passing resoiulions in tavor of the erection of General Woodford the meeting adjourned. Soldiers and Sailors’ Central Committee. Last evening a meeting of the Soldiers and Sail- ors’ Central Cominitiee was held in room No. 24 the nominee in the event of Hooper’s declining. Henalth of New Orleans. Congressman Sheldon, of Louisiana, arrived here to-day, having left New Orleans on the 8th inst. He contradicts the yellow fever statements concerning that city, saying a few sporadic cases only ex- isted and that the last reported case was two weeks ago, there having previously been not more than five or six. The Whiskey Trade Becoming Active. ‘The distilleries throughout the country which have been idle during the hot weather are now resuming work, and already the demand for internal revenue stamps is rapidly increasing. Active operations will be resumed 1n all of the distilleries during this and the next month, Internal Revenne Receipts. The receipts from internal revenue, from the 1st of July to date, have been $45,744,472 58, and receipts for the corresponding period of 1869 were $30,424,- 409 65, showing an increase of $6,320,425 93 during the present year. Beer Stamps in Demand. There is a large increase in the demand for beer Cooper Institute. In consequence of the absence of the President, General Alfred Pleasanton, the chair was taken by the Vice President, General H. E. Davies, Jr. The business transacted was not of general interest, ast had been previonsly reported that the important reports and transactions of t cumunittee would be brought before a subsequeit meeting of the commitiee, to be held on Friday, the 16th inst., at the same room, at half-past seven o'clock. A resolution was adopted inviting the oilicers of the ward associauions of the city to be present at that meeting. After adopting the resolu- ton endorsing the proceedings of the Saratoga Con- vention and its candidates the meeting adjourned. 9 Seventh Assembly District “Boys in BI The Boys in Blue of the Seventh Assembly district met last evening at 750 Broadway for the purpose of organizing a political campaign association, to be known as the Woodford Soldiers and Sailors’ Clup No. 7.

Colopel Duganne, Major Forbes and Major Eliiott spoke on the desirability of having every soldier who fought for the Union in support of the republican party, The stamps at the Internal Revenue Bureau, owing to the recent augmented consumption. Mr. MoCartee, Chief of the Printing Burean, is de- voting his entire force to the printing of beer stamps alome at the present, and is furnishing quarter bar- rel stamps at the rate of two hundred thousand aaily. Indian Contracts Awarded. Bids for furnishing 7,140,000 pounds of beef cattle on the hoof and 250,000 pounds of bacon to the Indian tribes at the agencies in Dacotah were opened at the Indian Bureau to-day. There were eighteen bids, Including two proposing to deliver the supplies at St. Joseph. The latter were re- Jected, as not in accordance with advertisement. Bids for catue ranged from $3 75 to $7 92 per 100 pounds, and four bids for bacon, at prices from 18 cents to 2534 cents per pound. Joseph F. Givbs, of St. Louis, was the lowest bid- der for beef, namely, $3 75 per 100 pounds, and J. W. Boster, of Carlisle, Pa., was the lowest bidder for bacon, namely, 18 cents per pound. NEW YORK CITY.

Masanchusetts Politics—Wendell Letter Accepting the ation. Phillips’ Labor Retorm Nomin- BosTox, Sept. 12, 1870. Wendeit Phillips accepts the Labor Reform nom- ination for Governor in the following letter:— Lhave no wish to be Governor of Massachusett and flattering as is this contidence, I thorough dislike to have my naine drawn into party politics, for [ belong to no political party. But I see nothing in your platform from which I dissent, and the stragwle which underlies your movement has my fullest and heariest sympathy. Capital an@labor are partuers, not enemies. They stand face to face in order to bring about a fatg division of the com- mon profit. Iam fuliy conviticed that hitherio leg- isiation has leaned too much, leaned most untairly to the side of capital. Hereafter we should be impartial. The Jaw shonia do all it can to give the masses more leisure, a more complete education, better opportunities and @ fair share of profits, It is a shame to our Christianity and civilization for our social system to provide and expect that one man at seventy years of should be lord of many thou- sands of dollars while hundreds of other men who have made as good use of their talenis and oppor- tunities lean on charity for their daily bread, Of course there must be irregularities, but the best minds and hearts of the land should give themselves to the work of changing this gross injustice, this ap- palling Inequility.

Politics in Georgia. LETTER FROM LINTON STEPHENS. Mr. Linton Stephens, of Georgia, has written a letter in regard to the selection of candidates in the approaching election. By the followmg extract it will be seen that he recommends fighting out the issue of membership of Congress on the oid Line: I think, therefore, that we snould select members of Congress without the sligitest regard to so-callea disabilities, except that we should Lot tail to send at least some who are subject to them aud wio have ability to show their invalidity and enormity, They must have a hearing on the question of their rignt to seats, and that question weil argued on the tuea- tre of Congress would snake this country from centre vo circumference, Our strength lies in attack—in attacking the usurpation and euormities of the party who are seek! tw overthrow our whole system of government by first crushing out the States which stand as the obstacle inthe way of their scheme of centralization and consequent unob- structed puplie plunder, Our strengin is in the truth, and their weakness is in their guilt, Our policy 18 not to shrink from the contest, but to wage an unremitting war on the field of truth and reason; and we must pring forward such issues as will re- veal the maligalty of their designs and the enormity of their guilt, It is atime wacn cowardice is folly and weakness, and courage 1s wisdom aud strengin. We are invinelbie on the issues if they are rightly made; and let us remember that nobody ever ed a victory by running away from the batue fleld. Louisiana Democratic Convention. New Onveans, Sept. 12, 1870. The Democratic State Convention met to-day, ex-Governor Voorhies acting as president. The only question of interest turned on the admission of colored delegates, of whom some twenty were pre- sent. A motion was made that the question of admitting colored delegates be separated from that of admitting whites, Alter a sharp discussion the motion was rejected, The question of adopting the report of the Com- mittee on Credentials, admitting on the same foot- ing as the whites will come np Eno. The im- pression is that it will be adopted by an overwhelin- ing majority. Political Notes and Commentn. Further returns from Vermont show that the democrats have done better than was at first re- ported. They have elected two State Senators, against none last year, and have more than held theirown on the popular vote. The senatorial in- crease, it will be seen, 18 two hundred per cent. The St. Louis Repudlican understands that G. A. Finkelnburg, republican, declines to run again for Congress in the Missouri Second district. Linton Stephens, of Georgia, talks about the “bet- ter days” of Congress. Some people are never satisfied. No matter who is in power they are never content until they have their betters. Washington is therefore just the place for them. The Wilmington (N. C.) Star remarks that of the gentlemen mentioned as candidates for the United States Senate General Matt. W. Ransom seems to be the most prominent of those who are eligible. General Ransom is a conservative. Colonel Hall, Collector of Internal Revenue, will probably be the republican candidate for Congress from the Kentucky First district, which is strongly democratic, Captain D. R. Carr is the republican candidate for Congress in the Bowling Green district. He was some years ago a member of the Kentucky Legisla- ture and during the late war was an officer in the United States army. The Tennessee Democratic State Convention meets in Nashville to-day (September 13), John C. Brown— one of the irrepressible Brown family in Tennessee, and all smart men at that—is the most prominent candidate for the nomination, Dr. Cyrus D. Glannger was nominated yesterday for Congress by the democrats of the Tenth district of Pennsylvania. The Department of Public Parks announce that, if tLe weather be fine, there will be music by the Centrol Park Band in Tompkins square this eves- ing from hall-past four to nali-past six o’eluck.
