Hub s to be Observed by Applicants for Pardon-
A rule was adopted this morning by Mr.
Pleasants, pardon clerk in the Attorney
General’s office, limiting the hours of receiving
personal applications on business connected
with pardons from nine to eleven in the feor-
noon. Mr. Speed will receive visitors from
eleven to one. After these hours all persons
will be denied admission. The crowds that
daily congregate in the rooms and ante-rooms
of the Attorney General’s office are increasing
instead of diminishing, and, without some
such restriction, bid fair to monopolize busi
ness hours with long and unnecessary explana
tions. Hereafter the clerical work of the
Pardon Bureau can be completed in business
hours, free from the annoyance and solicita
tions that have constantly embarrassed it.
A new leaf has also been turned over at the
White House. A certain feminine habitue of
the East Boom and lobbies, who is generally
understood to have been engaged in the pardon
brokerage business, was to-day refused permis
sion to ascend the stairway or further impor
tune the President. Visitors to the Presi
dential mansion have not missed the familiar
features of the fair literalenr a single day for
many weeks. The rule that gives every one
daily access to the White House will, in her
case, be more honored in the breach than the
observance.
Internal Rctenue Decisions.
The internal revenue receipts since July 1
amount to within a fraction of forty-five mil
lion dollars. It is estimated that the receipts
for the quarter ending September 30th will ex
ceed sixty millions.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
addressed the following to Sheridan Shook,
Collector of the Thirtv-second district of New
York.
Washington, August 22, 18G5.
Sir—I have been informed that the opinion
prevails to some extent among the bankers and
brokers of your city that the provisions of the
third section of the act of March 3, 1865,
which requires collectors to deposit daily in
the Treasury all moneys received by them for
internal duties supersede the provisions of sec
tion forty-four of the act of June 30, 1864,
which authorizes the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to remit, refund and pay back all
duties erroneously, or illegally assessed or col
lected, or unjustly assessed, or excessive in
amount; and therefore that it will not be in
the power of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to pay back at a future time the taxes
which may be held by the Supreme Court to
have been illegally assessed and collected. A
brief examination and comparison of the two
sections referred to will show the apprehension
to be without foundation. The act of March
3, 1865, is an amendatory act, and repeals
only such provisions of former enactments as
are inconsistent with the amendment. (See
section 16, to require daily deposits of all col
lections by each collector, and not inconsistent
with the provision authorizing the refunding
of taxes illegally or in any manner improperly
collected.) The authority conferred' upon the
Commissioner to refund such taxes, by draw
ing liis draft upon the Collector of Internal
Revenue, is inconsistent with the provision
requiring such Collectors to deposit all collec
tions in the Treasury. It became necessary,
therefore, not to refuse repayment in such
cases, but to substitute another mode; and
taxes collected erroneously are now refunded
with as much promptness as before the act of
March 3, 1865, took effect. The same sec
tion 44, which authorized the Commissioner
to draw against moneys in the hands of col
lectors, authorized the Secretary of the Treas
ury to prescribe regulations under which taxes
erroneously collected could be refunded, and
these regulations have been changed to meet
the requirements of the amended law. The
Commissioner is now required to make appli
cation, from time to time, to the Secretary to
have the necessary siffns placed to his credit
with the Assistant Treasurer at New York,
upon which he draws in like manner as if tho
moneys were in the hands of collectors. It
will be seen, therefore, that neither the ability
to pay, nor the facility with which such pay
ments may be made to tax payers, has been
impaired in the slightest degree by the opera
tion of the act of March 3, 1865.
Very respectfully,
William Orton,
Commissioner.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue this
morning made the following decision :
Vessels are not regarded as merchandise
within the meaning of section 99 of the act of
June 30, 1864, and the tax of an eighth of one
per centum imposed by said section upon the
sales of merchandise is not to be imposed on
the sale of vessels.
The following decision was made in regard
to the sale of photographs :
Where a party pays, say three dollars and
seventy live cents for a dozen photographs or sun
pictures, the person who sells or delivers the
pictures must affix a three cent stamp to each.
The pretence that the first picture is worth a
dollar, and hence requires a five cent stamp,,
while each of the remaining eleven ia worth
but twenty-five cents, and consequently requires
a two cent stamp, is an evasion of the law
which cannot be tolerated.
In regard to dividends the Commissioner
has rendered the following decision :
It is held by this office that all dividends de
clared bv any of the institutions mentioned in
I section 120 of the Excise law, since the 1st of
j July, 1864, are subject to the tax of five per
. centum, without regard to the time when the
profits upon which such dividends are based
were earned.
The following in regard to blacksmiths was
promulgated this morning :
Where a blacksmith’s annual receipts,
whether derived from new work done or from
repairs (section No. 94,) or from increased
: value given to horse shoes partly finished by
' more completely finishing them (section No.
I 95,) or from all those sources combined, ex-
' ceed one thousand dollars, he requires a manu
facturer’s license; but receipts derived from
the mere act of shoeing horses should not be
included in the amount, since the mere shoe
ing of horses is not a manufacture.
Letter from Gen. Hitchcock on the Subject of
• Exchange of Prisoners.
Major General Hitchcock has published a
letter on the subject of the exchange of prison
ers, the cause of the suspension, the inhumani
ty of the rebel government, and justifying the
policy of Secretary Stanton. Gen. Hitchcock,
in this letter, says:
As long as the cartel for the exchange of
prisoners was respected in the South it was
faithfully observed by our government, and
there was no reason to doubt its faithful exe
cution by the government until the end of the
war, unless properly revoked by competent au
thority, if the rebel authorities had not dis
tinctly violated its terms under circumstances,
indeed, of great aggravation. The day must
come when every true American will be proud
of the reflection that the government was
strong enough to crush the rebellion without
losing the smallest element of its humanity or
dignity, and stands before the world unim
peached in its honor and glory.
The Destitution of the South.
The Chronicle of this morning says : From
the special Provost Marshal of the War De
partment, who has just returned from a brief
trip through some of the Southern States,
where he went on official business, we have
full confirmation of the reports which have re
cently come from those localities of the utter
destitution of the South, and of the desire of
the people at large to submit cheerfully to the
government of the United States. From all
accounts it appears that if a fair expression of
public opinion can be obtained at the coming
elections in tho South there will belittle diffi
culty in the work of reorganization.
The Constitutional Amendment Abolishing
Slavery in Virginia.
A Virginia State Convention, which assem
bled at Alexandria some months ago, adopted
the proposed anti-slavery amendment to the
constitution of the United States. It appears,
however, from newspaper articles and other
indications, that there is total ignorance on
that subject in the vicinity of Richmond, else
there would not be such earnest advocacy of a
convention to do what has already been done.
As Governor Pierpont and the ’ Legislature
which assembled at Alexandria are recognized
by the leading men of Virginia as legal, it
occasions much comment here that they should
ignore the State Convention which assembled
there under the same executive authority.
Personal.
The Secretary of Stato, since his return
from Cape May, has disposed of the business
which accumulated during his absence, and is
attending to the duties of the department as
before the sad occurrence which for a time de
prived the country of his services. His health
was never better, and his medical advisers are
sanguine of a perfect recovery from his late in
juries. Mr. Frederick Seward has rapidly re
covered since his trip to Cape May, and, it is
hoped, will soon be able to resume his duties
as Assistant Secretary of State. The mem
bers of the family are now all at home, with
the exception of Miss Fanny Seward, who will
remain with her friends at Cape May for some
time.
The Indian Delegation.
Advices received at the Indian Bureau to-day
from the Indian delegation that left for Fort
Smith on Thursday last, state that the attaches
of the delegation have arranged to rendezvous at
Council Bluff on the 5th proximo, or at Sioux
City on the 1 Oth, as the; may hereafter eleot.
Applicants for Pensions.
An application for a pension was made in be
half of a woman living in Ohio to-day, wherein
it appeared that she had had eight sons in the
Union armies, three'of whom were killed in battle.
It is stated that many cases have come under the
supervision of the Pensions Bureau nearly as re-
markable as the above.
Apjiointmcnts.
The l’residont has appointed John K. Goodloe
United States attorney tor the district of Louisia
na, and John L. Williamson attorney for the
Western district of Tennessee.
The Sab'-s nf llorsts and Mules.
Returns made to tho Quartormaster General’s
office show that government horses and mules
exposed to public salo at the small towns in Penn
sylvania, Maryland and Delaware commanded
much higher prices than those sold in the larger
cities, and in a number of instances the animals
brought as much as the government paid for
them.
THE mi TRIAL.
Tlie Court Unexpectedly Ad
journs Without Naming a
Day lor Reassembling.
PROTEST OF TIIll COUNSEL OF
W1KZ.
Washington, August 22.
The motion to quash the charges and speci
fications against Captain Wirz, made by de
fendant's counsel, was argued principally by
Judge Hughes, who contended that they were
too general and uncertain, and that the offences
charged were cognizable by civil and not mili
tary coarts.
The Commission overruled the motion, and
the prisoner then plead “ Not guilty” to the
charges against him.
Col. Chapman, the Judge Advocate, to-day
suggested that the prisoner be remanded to the
Old Capitol, and that the court now adjonrn.
In this the Court, without a formal vote, ac
quiesced.
Judge Hughes wished to know to what time
the court had adjourned.
Col. Chapman replied that he would notify
counsel of the re-assembling of the conrt, and
then requested the witnesses in attendance to
give information as to where they resided, and
instructed them not to leave the city until pro
perly discharged.
Judge Hughes said lie would like to be
heard.
Colonel Chapman replied that under the
parliamentary law there could now be no de
bate.
Major General Wallace said—The court
stands adjourned, consequently there can be
no argument.
Judge Hughes—Tlie prisoner having been
arraigned, we enter our protest against break
ing up the court, or an indefinite adjournment.
We ask for the discharge of the prisoner or
that the court proceed with the trial.
Maj. Get}. Wallace repeated that the court
bad adjourned,, .
During the colloquy the prisoner was re
moved from the conrt room by the military
guard.
The adjournment without a day having been
named for the reassembling of'the court took
the counsel and spectators by surprise. No
reason is as yet known for this course, though
there is a. suspicion that the charge of con
spiracy may be withdrawn.
There seems to be no doubt that the charges
and specifications against Captain Wirz will
be amended by the prosecution in several im
portant particulars. His counsel will take is
sue that this cannot be done; the prisoner hav
ing already plead not gnilty to the charges on
which he was arraigned yesterday.
New York Markets.
New York, Ang. 23, 1865.
Gold ruled a fraction lower, owing to the re
ceipts of cotton from the South at this port and
the report of a resumption of sales of coin by
the Sob-Treasury, The opening price was
144, from which'there was a quick decline to
143 3-8, followed by a recovery of 1-4, and a
relapse to 143 3-8, at which it closed. Gold is
generally loaned flat where previously
interest was paid on the currency by the
lender.
The foreign exchange market remains firm
at 109 l-2al09 3-4 for bankers’ sixty day bills,
second hand. The leading drawers, however,
ask 109 7-8, but the demand is limited.
The money market shows perfect ease so far
as the wants of the Stock Exchange are con
cerned. Loans are made freely on call at 6a7
per cent, and in exceptional cases balances
have been lent at five. •
Cotton.—The market at the opening was
steady at yesterday’s prices, but subsequently
became more quiet, closing dull at the decline
shown in our annexed quotations. The sales
comprise 2,800 bales. We quote :

The Cuble.
By the arrival of the steamships Bornssia and
City of Baltimore at New York on Tuesday, and
the receipt of its files by the steamship Belgian,
wbich reached Father Point on Sunday last, the
Herald has details from Europe to the 10th inst.
The speculations of the English papers on the
cause of the cable failure possess considerable
interest. It appears to have been the general
opinion that the loss of insulation whioh startled
the electricians on the 2d inst. was caused by the
magnetie storm previously alluded to, and not by
any fanlt or defeat in the cable itself, and that,
had the Great Eastern proceeded on her journey
instead of turning back to cut out the supposed
flaw, the cable might long before have been safely
laid and in working order.
Nothing discouraged by this failure, the cable
company Igive set about repairing the loss; but it
is said that no renewal of the operations will be
attempted during the present season. How far
this resolution will be changed by the advices
which the Great Eastern has by this time borne
to Valentia remains to be seen. The money loss
to the company by the failure is estimated at one
million dollars. Some singular facta as to the
bargain struck by the company are stated by a
correspondent of the London Star. If the cable
succeeded the owners of the Great Eastern were
to receive two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and nothing if it failed. Had the attempt proved
a success, the Great Eastern would have been
purchased by the cable oompany, and do fewer
than six lines would have been laid between Ire
land and America.
The Trial of Jeff. DaviN.
Note from his Counsel, Mr. Gillett—Letter
from Jeff.—He Pleads Ignorance of the
Charges Against Him, etc.
Aldant, N. Y., Aug. 22, 1865.
Mr. R. II. Gillett, one of the counsel for
Jefferson Davis, in a note to the Albany
Argus, says :
Mr. Davis hag no more information concern
ing his trial than others have.
In a letter from Mr. Davis dated the 15th
instant, to Mr. Gillett, he says :
I am still ignorant of tho charges against
me, the source of them, and the tribunal before
which I am to answer. Your letter gave me
the first notice of the Washington indict
ment.
Mr. Davis requests Mr. Gillett to have a
conference with Mr. Charles O'Conor, his only
other counsel, so that they maybe prepared for
the trial whenever it may be brought on, with
as little delay as the nature and importance of
the case will permit.
A direct application to the proper depart
ment, asking to be informed, if not improper,
when, where and before what tribunal Mr.
Davis is to be tried remains unanswered be
cause, as is supposed, neither has been actual
ly determined by the President.
THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION.
An Amendment to the Constitution
Abolishing Slavery Adopted by the
Convention.
JACK80N, Aug. 21.
The following constitutional amendment has
just passed the Convention by a vote of 86 to
11 :—
The institution of slavery having been de
stroyed in the State of Mississippi, neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude, otherwise
than for the punishment of crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted, shall
hereafter exist in this State ; and the Legisla
ture, at its next session, and thereafter as the
public welfare may require, shall provide by
law for the protection and security of the per
sons and property of the freedmen of the State,
and guard them and the State against any
evil that may arise from their sudden emancii
pation.
Accident on tbe Southsl* Railroad
Two Soldiers Killed and Several Wounded.
A serious accident occurred on the South-
side (Va.) Railroad, near Prospect station,
eleven miles beyond Farmville, on the 17th
inst. One of the passenger cars of the down

block which was accidentally thrown upon the
track. Two United States soldiers were killed
and several others wounded, some of them
very badly. It is reported that some, of tho
wounded have died from injuries received.—
The car thrown off contained no citizens, but
was filled with soldiers.
Accident on the Chicago and North
western Railroad.
Chicago, Aug. 22.

The engineer, firemen, express messenger and
ona passenger were killed and three passen
gers injured, through not seriously.
A Guerilla Outrage.
