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 : Upland. Florida. Mobi’e. N.O.&T. Ordinary.... S7 Si 38 5!» Middling.. ..44 44 45 45 GoodMid’ng46 47 48 49 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 train was thrown from the road by a coupling 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 night express train from Iowa on the Dixon and Fulton branch of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad ran into a culvert,which had been washed away by the storm last night. The engineer, firemen, express messenger and ona passenger were killed and three passen gers injured, through not seriously. A Guerilla Outrage. Memphis, Aug. 20. Some soldiers left Jackson, Tenn., a few days ago, to hunt up some horses wbich had been stolen. They were attacked by a large number of guerillas, driven back, and obliged to abandon their horses. It is reported that three of the soldiers were killed after falling into the guerillas’ bands. Two of the guerillas have been captured. «* TISH-WAm T he.
