A detailed account of the murder, which took place on Sunday morn. ing, June 6, just five weeks azo to-day, was given in the HERALD, and a brief résune of the circum stances may be interesting at t time. Peter S, Giilis, Charles Gregory and James Stapleton, all bard drinkers, and more or less under tne influence of Nquor, were playing biud at the saloon of the latter on the Sunday moruing referred to. Gillis and Gregory were fellow workinen in a neighboring tannery and an old grudge existed between them. Excited by rum, only a small matter was required | to bring them to confict. By a singular fatality they seemed to seize the first opportunity to get | into a fight. During the progress of the gume 4 dispute arose in regard to THE MATTER OF FIVE CENTS. both claiming 1t, Loud woras ensued, and, fearing the police might be attracted by the sounds, Staple- ton Jumped up from the table, seized Gillis, who was abuut to attack Gregory, and held him fast. While thus holding him Gregory threwa stove lid or some other sharp-edged substance and strack Gils, inflicting a severe wound on the head. In forcing Gillis out of the door *# general squabble ensued, during = which Gregory was stabbed in the abdomen and died a few minutes after. Gillis) was at once arrested, locked up, and the Grand Juror’s in- vestigation resuited in finding a bill of murder in the first degree, under whichjthé trial has been pros- ecnted. The trial throughout bas been thorough and imparual, counsel on both sides having been aliowed the fullest jautuae, The arguments in the case concluded st tweaty-ve minutes past twelve yesterday, when JUDGE GRANGER’ was given, a4 follows: ‘The prisoner at the bar is indicted for my degree.

WASHINGTON. The Controversy Between the Interna} Revenue Bureau and the Treas- ury Department. Fair Offer of Arbitration from Commis- sioner Pleasonton. THE WASHINGTON DOCTORS MUDDLED WASHINGTON, July 9, 1871. The ascnton-Bou well Controversy. Commissioner Pleasonton last week forwarded to President Grant a tong letter, giving bis views of bis: dunes as chief of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the anbjects which came under his direst con~ trol and superviston, and claiming that according to the law of 1868 lis power over the internal revenue is as complete as that of Secretary Boutwell over the customs revenue, not, however, interlertag wilh the disbursements, his duty being #0 to instruct the oilicers that the taxes may be faithiully and promptly collected and paid into the Treasury. Hence the Secretary has nothing to do with the instructions to officers or the Commissioner's aecisions, appeals trom which can be maie to the courts for redress, Such is believed to be, in briet, the opinion of the Commissioner, who asks the President to obtain the views of Secretary Boutwell concerning tue dufere ence between them on the que-tion oF jurisdiction in their respective departments, The Commisstover leaves the subject with the President. I[f the lawer shall decline or prefer“hot to decide the question, Be proposes that hia, together with Secretary Boutweil'a statements, be submitted to the Attorney General, and he will abide the decision, whatever It may be.
