WASHINGTON. Chances of a Sinister Release of Dr. Houard. Ee SE BREE PROSPEOTS OF THE COTTON CROP. A Valuable Warning to the To- bacco Trade. WASHINGTON, June 17, 1872, Dr. Houard’s Case. Ao advices from Madrid have yet reached the State Department concerning the expected release of Dr. Houard, but an early termination of the case is looked for in any event, as the latest informa- tion received through other than official channels indicate that the prisoner is not in condition to endure much longer the anxieties of his situation. The Cotton Crop. ‘The following is a brief synopsis of the statement of the area and condition of the present cotton crop which will appear in the June report of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. An icrease in the cotton area is reported in every State, and a very small proportion of county returns show a decrease ofacreage, Planting was generally retarded by a protracted season of Grought, and flelds that were planted late occasioned some trouble in obtaining perfect stands, but the recent rains and renewed efforts in replanting have finally secured stands of average completeness. The percentage of increase in area, last year’s crop being the basis of cymparison, is as follows:—North Carolina, 16; South Carolina, 9; Georgia, 12; Florida, 10; Alabama, 11; Missis- sippi, 10; Louisiana, 11; Texas, 18; Arkausas, 16; ‘Tennessee, 12, The average increase throughout the cotton States will approximate thirteen per cent. Texas has naturally made the largest rela- tive increase, not only having enjoyed a favorable season for planting, but also during the past year having received accessions of immigrants who are cotton planters, The condition of the plant through- oat the cotton section is very nearly a full average. Separating the Atlantic from the more Western States, the former stand a little below an average, while the latter are fully up tothe standard of falr condition, The drought which prevailed in April and the first half of May dclayed growth, and cold nights in the more north- ern belt had a further retarding effect, but the abundant rains and genial temperature which fol- Jowed have wonderfully invigorated and advanced the crops. The following figures represent the condition of cotton in the several States, 100.stand- ing for an average:—North Caroiina, 96; South Carolina, 92; Georgia, 96; Florida, 95; Alabama, 105; Missiaajppl, 100; Louisiana, 104; Texas, 100; Arkansas, 98; Tennessee, 101. ‘Tobacco in Bond. The statement published in these despatches to the effect that manufacturers of tobacco were mis- taken in supposing that between the 6th and 30th of June tobacce could be stored in bonded ware- houses and withdrawn for home consumption at the reduced rate has put the manufacturers on their guard. The one firm which had 20,000 pounds en route to a warehouse telegraphed Commissioner Douglass to-day that it was still at the railroad depot, and asked permission to take it back to the factory. The matter is held for consideration. The Agave Americana. A sample of the baked heart of the Agave Ameri- cana has been received at the Internal Revenue Bureau. This is the plant from which a liquor called mescal is produced, and the specimen will be fermented and distilled in the ofiice of the Internal Revenue for the purpose of determining its spirit- producing capacity, application having been made to manufacture whiskey from this article. The Supervising Inspector Generelship. Among the nominations sent to the Senate that were not confirmed was that of Joseph Nimmo, Jr., to be Supervising Inspector General, vice Joseph Belknap, whose resignatioh was to take effect on the confirmation of Nimmo. Mr. Belknap insists on his resignation being accepted at once, and Mr. Nimmo will be appointed his successor, The Inspeetion of Steamers. at has come to the knowledge of the Treasury Department that it is the custom with the In- spectors of steam vessels, after having made an inspection of a steamer, to make out and subscribe to four copies of an inspection certificate in addi- tion to the original, each of which is verified by oath before a notary public, and a@ fee of $2 50 ex- acted of every steamer for her inspection papers. The department decides that the whole transaction is irregular and illegal, and must be at once dis- continued. No authority whatever exists for ex- acting a fee from steamers for their inspection papers other than that for making the inspection. Counterfeiting Imported Cigar Stamp: The Commissioner of Internal Revenue will ad- dress a circular letter to collectors and cigar manu, facturers, informing them that Congress had made it a felony to use counterfeit customs revenue stamps, and that the penalty is a fine of $100 and not exceeding $1,000 and six months, or not more than three years’ imprisonment in the Penitentiary. This class of stamps has been principally used in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, to make it appear that domestic cigars were imported. Private Relicf Acts. ‘The number of private relief bills passed during the recent session of Congress is unprecedentedly large, and the business of adjusting and paying out the appropriations has therefore increased the work of the warrant division of the Treasury De- partment. These heavy reductions will probably lave an effect on the public debt, rendering the reduction for the present month less than the usual average amount. Dividends on Burst National Banks. A dividend of twenty-five per cent has been de- glared by the Comptroller of the Currency in favor of the creditors of the Eighth National Bank of New York, payable on the 19th inst., making in all divi- dend to the amount of fifty percent. Dividends have recently been paid to the creditors of the Ocean National Bank of seventy per cent, and to creditors of the Union Square National Bank of one hundred per cent. Dividends will soon be made to the creditors of the National Bank of Bethel, Conn., and of the Waverley National Bank, og Waverley, N. Y., which will, probably, finally close up the affairs of these banks. The National Gold Banks. Only three national gold banks are at present in Operation, two of which are in California, with a capital of $1,000,000 each, and the other in Boston, with @ capital of $300,000. Applications are on file in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency for the establishment of other gold banks at Sacra- mento, Stockton and Oaklands, Cal. No applica- tions have been received from New York, nor any cities other than those above mentioned, Internal Revenue Appointments, The following internal revenue appointinents have been made :— Gaugers—Thomas J, Williams and George 8, Martin, Twenty-first district of Pennsylvania; John L, Hudiburg, Second district of Tennessee. Storekeeper—William 8, Humphreys, Fifth dis- trict of L,inois, Assistant Assessor—Kdward Norton, Twentieth district of New York. ‘the internal revenue $950,205, Recruiting for the Marine Corps. The Secretary of the Navy has organized a re- cruiting service for the Marine corps, comprising an unusually large number of officers, who are to commence immediately to raise five hundred to one thousand men to fli] that branch of defence up to ite authorized standard. Colonel Charles G, Macauley has been appointed Superintendent of re- receipts to-day were crulting, with headquarters in this city, and Major T. T. Field, Captains James Forney and H, A.

As the marine service has always been in. much favor, it te not expected that more than six weeks or two months will be necessary to fill up, although the approachcf harvest will be a material disadvantage. Horses Killed During the War. The Treasury Department to-day resuined the payment of claims for horses killed during the war, Congress having made an appropriation for that purpose, LEAF TOBACCO DEALERS’ ASSOCIATION. ee Rois Progress of Centralization—Legally Con- fining Trade to the Larger Capitalists. In consequence of the Congressianal enactment known as an amendment to the act of 1868, by which, as is claimed, trade in leaf ~tobacco has been eonfined to the larger capitalists, there was a large gathering of retail dealers in leaf tobacco last evening. at Brookes’ Assembly Rooms, Broome street, to protest against the enforcement of the act as amended'by the last Congress, The chair was taken by J. J. Kuhn, and the following was declared to be the substance of the grievance ¢om- plained of, as entailed by the amendment named :— The object-declared to have been sought through the enactment ef the amendment was to suppress the real or fancted extensive manufacture and sale of illicit plug tobacco in the South and Southwest, The effect, it was claimed, is to ‘wipe out ofexist- ence’ the small manufacturere of cigars and small dealers in seed leaf tobaccos, the “small cigar makers,” who, with their families, have been accustomed to work at home—tenement houses and the like-—not being allowed to buy Con- necticut or Spanigh leaf or sell it in small quan- tities, or less than a case or a bale, the former weighing 400 pounds and the latter 100 pounds. Dealers or manufacturers who cannot afford to purchase such quantities—and tnere are thousands im and = around the ka are by the amendment driven from the trade, ‘These dealers, who used to sell to the cigar makers, having lost their customers, will have to abandon the business, and the wholesale leaf deal- ers, losing the retail leaf dealers, will have. to ‘find their patrons among the large cigar makers, into whose hands the business of cigar making will devolve. The law, it was -claimed, is an outrage, because it, as is claimed, legisiates against the poor in favor of the rich, charging the first $500 special tax or licenge, and the second only $25—making the first also pay fifty cents on each dollar’s worth of goods sold in excess -of $1,000, and the second pay nothing on the latter account. When the case had been thus stated, the queation came up for con- sideration as to whether it would not be well to send a committee to Washington to explain to the revenue authorities how grievously the act will affect thousands of men and families in this locality ; and, in that connection, it was decided to send ® committee of + three, the committee to be appointed by the Chair. The Chair declined, but named a committee to nominate a committee to visit the Gommissioner of Internal Revenue and secure all that may be possible. Mr. Bown favored a Ros renemnens, of the appoint- went of a committee until the reports of the pre- sent meeting should awaken the en(ire trade to the necessity tor early and effective action, Mr. ConraD Kun favored the appotatment'of a committee to visit the members of the trade in this city and surroundings and secure their signatures to definite trade action. The committee selected to name a committee to go to Wasnington returned and named E, M. Craw- ford, J. J. Kuhn and M. Oppenheimer. The selec- tion was confirmed unanimously, Mr. BONN moved that the committee, on re- turning from Washington, call a meeting of the entire trade, to take such action as the result of the visit may seem to require. The motion was carried. Mr. OPPENHEIMER thep moved that a committee be appointed to draw up a memorial setting forth the grievances of the trade, and to have It signed. A committee of three was then named, and a mo- tion was algo carried to secure the names of work- men as weil as the dealers, until fully 6,000 names should be attached to the memorial. The commit- tee named was Mr. J. M. Bonn, J. L. Gassert, Con- rad Kubn, In conclusion, Mr. Nissen, secretary of the asso- ciation, was directed to send to the trade outside the city and invite the co-operation of all in secur- in, non-enforcement of the law. ‘The meeting then adjourned.

The Rink Reformers have prepared another chap- ter on their researches and discoveries, In this chapter they enlighten the public on the oficial acts of Senator Perry in. the Senate during its recent session, and his pledges to the Reform Com- Mittee of what he proposed-to do when he went there. They say that Mr, Rerry was supported by this as well as other councils. in his district. Soon after nis election it appeared that he was under the control and influence of an official of the Fire ‘| Department, and that the Council of Vigilance had been deceived. This suspicion is strengthened by the fact that Mr. Anthony F,,.Campbell about the same time said “that he did not know what the Assembly would do, but at all events he had the Senate.” When the bill came before the Legislature chang- ing the personnel of several of tke Brooklyn com- missions some of Mr, Perry's party wanted to make them non-partisan by placing one democrat in each commission—democrats, in no way repre- senting the Ring—Mr. William Marshall's name was suggested, among others, possessing the confidence of a large portion of the community. Other repub- ltcans desired to fili these commissions with repub- licans only, so that the people might understand which party was responsible for the acts of the commissions, Senator Perry, in Febrt last, at Alvany and in Brooklyn, expressed himself in substange, in rela- tion to the proposed new Commissioners to be ap- pointed for Brooklyn under pending legislation, as follows :— That he would never consent that a should go Into the boards. -That the ri had the power, and must exercise jt. democrats so expected, and tt must be so done. ‘That the Ge inte had the Senate, and when once done the democrats could not change tt, for ‘some time, at least, and they (the democrats) must submit toit. That he would not even consent that the re- form democrats should be represented in any of the boards, That the “Ring” claimed the right to name the democrat, if one Was appointed, nd that u Ring” would give Cea oe have a Com- missioner in the Water Board, at he hid been informed and believed the “Ring” had ed at least $100,000 to secure a representative in the Board, and he had no doubt the “Ring” were up there with their money to secure divided pommis- sions, That $100,000 would be nothing for thd “Ring” to ralse, and he was opposed to divided eommis- sions. That the republicans had the poyer, and must take the responsibility of all the conduct of the different boards, and must therefore have all the members of them of their own party, and then there would be no, trades or ‘divided or shifted responsibility. {hat he would consent to be dismissed before le would consent to have any legislation, 80 long as he was @ Senator, which would permit anj deme- cratic appointment to the Water Board Vommis- sion or any other commission, and said :—'l swear to you it shall not be done as long as [anja Sena- tor or have any power. I am elected for two years, mark you that. There is no safe wag or true Way but to select every man for the commissions out of the republican party.” Itisa well kuown fact that William C. Kingsley and other friends of the Water Board were in Albany the past winter, advocating the bil that was finally peared virtually retaining Mr. Fowler in the Board, which receives a new name ani in- creased powers. MrXingsley told the membe’s of the Legislature that ht had no secrets on thesub- ject; he should do wha he could to keep Mr. Jow- ler in the Water Board, and he succeded. Mr. Perry’s sudden conversion is clearly denon- strated by the following legislative proceedings :— The first bill reorganizing the Water Board vas prepared and sent to the slature, but died in committee. This bil provide) for only two cum- missioners. February 5 Mr. Berri introduyed a bill in the As- sembly providing for three commissioners, to be Riacepe by the Comptroller, the Mayor and tie City Auditor. The Park Conmissioner Mr. Stranahan was afterward added tthe appointing board, but subsequently his name was left oif. March 27 this bill passed the Assemfy by a vote of 78 to 27. the Senate Mr. Peky moved an amendment that the Mayor have the\ole appoint- ing power of one Water Board Canmissioner, Thus amended, it was passed in the Sette, on Mr. Perry's motion, by a vote of 18 to 5, and¥inally con- curred in by the Assembly. ‘Thus, in violation of his avowed princiftes ana of his distinct and emphatic pledge, did Sen%or Perry contribute his deliberate assistance to he reap- pelea of Mr. Fowler, @ Ring democra to the Vater Board Commission, \ In confirmation of Mr. Perry's complity and that ued with the Ring, we are permitted to st: ie assured a well-known pronounced rep) that he could put him in the Fire Commissio\ if he would accept the position. That gentlemh de- clined to accept the offer, as he must, in suclase, have taken his appointment and confirmationif at all, from the Mayor and Common Council. ican KINGS COUNTY MUNICIPAL AFF.

Thompson, formerly pastor of the Ohris- tle Methodist Episcopal chapel in this city, but now of Leavenworth, Kansas, was assaulted about eleven o'clock this morning, by a man named Baum, who struck him with a hatchet, inflicting three gashes on his nead, one blow penetrating the cavity of the brain. Itis thought that Mr. Thomp- son cannot survive his injuries, The parties cog- nizant of the circumstances of the affair are ver; reticent, but it is alleged that Mr. Thompson calle at the house of a former member of his church, and on leaving took the liberty of kissing a young lady of the family who nad also been @ member of his flock, This 80 enraged Baum, who is the young wo- man’s lover, that he attacked Mr. Thompson, with the result above stated, Baum has thus far eluded arrest. DIRTY OHUROH STREET. To THE Eprror oF THE HERALD:— Allow me through your columns to call the atten- tion of the authorities and of the public to the dis- graceful condition in which Church street, or so be kept | much of it as has been widened under the so-called recent “improvement,” is allowed to remain, No J scavenger’s cart has visited it, I am satisfied, since the alteration was completed, and refuse of all descriptions, vegetable and otherwise, is permitted to lie festering under the hot suns of summer, while the condition of the street after a heavy rain renders the streets which traverse it from east to west almost impassable to pedestrians. All these Jatter streets were heavily assessed to meet the expenses of fampeovingy: the former ; but, instead of being benefited by the outlay, the property in them is absolutely depreciating from the neglect to which 1 have referred, As one of the owners of proueety thas affected I beg you to record my protest against the further continuance of this nuisance. A PROPRIETOR. THE STREET PAVING CONTRAOTS. Hearing Before the Commissioners of Objectio: to Johm Bryan’s Stone Pavement Contracts. Commissioners Sutherland, Van Voorst and Jaques held a meeting at the St. James Hotel last evening to consider the facts and circum ances relating to the contracts and awards made with John Bryan for paving with the Stowe foundation pavement the following streets:—White street, Broadway to West Broad” way; Fifteenth street, Fourth avenue to the East River; Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh and Twenty- eighth streets, Sixth avenue to the Hudson River; Thirtieth street, Fifth avenue to the Hudson River; Fortieth street, Madiaon avenue to Hudson River. ‘ Mayor Hall, the first witness called, identified the original ordinances and resolutions providing for the paving of sald streeta with the proposed pavement; he had vetoed them, but the Common Council had passed them over his veto; on signing the ordinances on their final passage he had ap- pended the following note, in order to be consist- ent in his Rd oes to the paving scheme. The note was read by him, as follows:— T have vetoed these resolutions because I believe their passage would be detrimental to the interest of the prop- erty holders, He recognized an addition made to the ordinances and resolutions after he had signed them to the following effect:—‘‘And that said ordinances, each and all of them, be and they are hereby adopted.” ‘Phis, he said, was inserted sur- reptitiously, and was not inthe ordi- nances when he sigued them; the whole ordinance in the manuscript as it then appeared was in the handwriting of a clerk of the Croton Board, with whose writing he was familiar, but whether it was the original draft he could not say. A number of witnesses—namely, property holders ot the Twentieth ward, were examined, and all swore that they had opposed the laying of the pavement, and had presented their remonstrances to the Mayor, to the Croton Board of Commissioners and to the Common Coun- cilmen before’ the resolutions were passed, The Mayor promised at once to veto them, and had af- terwards done so, The Councilmen were divided in sentiment—some were “on the fence,” others agreed to oppose it and others would give no satis- factory reply. Mr. James Moore, who holds property on Twenty- sixth street, testified that he was well acquainted in the ward, and had been foremost in opposing the granting of the contract and the passage of the resolutions, and that Mr. Bryan, the contractor, had intimated to him that if he kept silent on the ee his assessment would be “fixed” all right, which Mr. Moore supposed to mean that it would be paid by some one else. ir, Slade, of White street, had never heard of any such pavement to be laid on his street until he had read the fact in the HERALD, and he wanted to protest against it. The case was continued. SHIPPING NEWS. 428 | Moon sets..morn 2 21 7 33 | High water.morn 5 32 OCEAN STEAMERS. DATES OF DEPARTURE FROM NEW YORK FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. Sun rises Sun seta.
