From the Hattoaaal Capital.
WiSHisaTOJt, May 14—The President hasap-
pointed Henry Blackman postmaster at Brook-
haven, Miss.
They say at the Post-office Department that
the investigation into Georgia postmaster mat
ters showed there had been some promises made
of the nsnal electionary kind, pledging support,
eto., but nothing of a nartre to warrant such
harsh action as withholding commissions.
The investigation into the Savannah post-
office entirely disproved the report or suspicion
of a deficit there of $40,000.
A passport has been issued by the State Da.
partment to Fierrepont, who aocepts tha Has-
sian mission.
Steamboat Matters, etc.
The Sopervising Inspector General of steam
boats is engaged in the preparation of rules
governing experiments on boilers, in accord
ance with the aet of March last. Changes con
tinue to be made of inspectors in all directions
—the object being to secure a better class of
such officers.
The investigation in the Elm City steamboat
case nnder the local inspectors for Hew London,
Cenneeticut, ha* been conolnded, and the result
reported to tho Inspector General.
It was found that the conduct cf CapL Fred
erick J. Beck and pilot Kathaniel Stevens was
somewhat cenmrable, bnt not to an extent
whicb wonld warrant tha revocation or Bnspen-
sion of their lioense.
In the case of the collision between the
steamer Mew State and the Engle on the Ohio
river, the local inspectors were fnllv satisfied
that Mathan Potts, tha pilot of the Mew State,
was alone to blame for the oolliiion, and there-
fore his l’eense wa* revoked,
The revised steamboat rules are in the hands
of the printer.
The Cotton 8»lznre Question,
Many of the applications for a refund of tho
- iroceeds of the sales of cotton have been re-
eoted by the Treasury as not ooming within
the provisions of the aet of Congress. It does
not seem to be understood among parties inter
ested that the prooeed* of the sales of ootton
unlawfully seized after the SO'.h of June, 18G5,
will not be restored where the parties by them
selves or authorized agents sold cotton to the
Confederate States, and received therefor Con
federate notes, bonds or certificates cr other
Valuable consideration.
The published report that the Court of Claims
has decided that the cotton tax is nnconstitn
tional ia inoorrect. The qnestion of the oon-
stitntionality of the law imposing tax on ootton
has never yet been before this court, although
it will probably be raised in the argnment of
case at the next term. Thia report may have
arisen from the fact tbet the Court of Claims
decided long ego and has uniformly held in
number of cases since, that the ootton tax waa
not a charge upon the oaptored and abandoned
property fond, or in other words, that the Gov
ernment oonld not retain this tax from the pro
ceeds of sales of eaptnred cotton.
