FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington. D. C.. Jan. 7.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
lias sent instructions to the supervisor of the
division embracing the Indian Territory, to
seize all the unstamped tobacco manufactured
therein. Information received here shows
that much leaf tobacco is taken thither from
Arkansas, and other adjacent States, and
manufactured with a view to evade federal
taxation on the ground that neutral land is
exempt by treaty from taxation.
The Internal Revenue Law of Congress,
however, refers to all the territories. It is
not designed to seize the factories but only
manufactured tobacco on which tax has not
been paid.
Official information has been received at
the Indian Bureau denying the report of the
murder of a white man by the Indiana,
in the vicinity of Shaw. Montana, in the
latter part of Sept. last. The murder was
committed by white men. The various state
ments of Indian disturbances in that Terri
tory since that time, are cluiracterizcd as
without any foundation.
The reception of Secretary Fish and Mrs.
I Fish was more than usually brilliant.
Another War broken out between
the Albany and Susquehana Rail
road Companies.
New York. Jan. 7.
File Albany and Susquehanna war has !
broken out afresh. The parties in the -nit
whose interests were injuriously effected by
the recent decisions by Judge Smith, have j
| given notice that they will move at the special
term < f the Supreme Court to be held at Al- j
bion, Orleans county, on the 3d Monday of j
January 1870, to set aside all proceedings
| upon the judgment of Judge Smith, and to
1 require Robert L. Bands to retake possession
of the property. The chief grounds for the
motion are that the judgment was not a final
determination of the rights of the pstrth s in
action, was entered without due notice to any
<>f the parties adversely interested, and that it
fail* to determine the validity of the 9.n00
>har* " of "took subscribed by Ramsay and
other* in August. 1809: also were the *tnck
holdcrs entitled to vote at the election of
September last, and the validity of the con
tract made villi Groesbeck & Co., for 24GO
shares of stock. The papers were served to
day. The affidavits are numerous and
lengthy, among them is one from John II.
Martindale. who charges that the action of
Judge Smith in refusing , notwithstanding his
promise to tin* contrary, to afford tin* Attor
ney of the Church Directors opportunity to
1m* heard on settling the facts and his actual
settlement of facts with aid of Mr. Moock of
the counsel ol the Ramsay directors, prejudi
cial to the parties represented by him in the
same degree ns though the action had been
prompted b\ a desire to deceive and mislead.
There are also affidavits testifying to the ser
vice of the order staying proceedings under a
judgment issued by a Justice of the Supreme
('ourt.
New York Items.
New York. Jan. 7.
In the Lewis habeas corpus ease to-day on
the matter of settling the order. Mr. Lewis
asked for a postponement until Saturday, on
the ground that the Senior Counsel associated
with him. Judge Birdseye, was fulfilling an
engagement to attend a funeral, but would
like to lie present at the settlement on the
order.
Mr. Crosby asked that the settlement lie
postponed until 10 o’clock on Saturday morn
ing, adding that Judge Birdseye had some
thing to present relative to the order of na
ture of which he (Mr. Crosby) was ignorant.
Mr. Howe opposed, hut after mus h discus
sion, Judge f'ordozo allowed the postpone
ment asked, but said it was not likely that
the order would he changed.
It is rumored that Mr. Lewis intends to ap
peal the ease to a higher court, ami it was for
this the postponement was asked.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
By Telegraph to Daily Joiknai. :
New York Money Market.
Nkw Your. 7. Evening.
The Express in its latest financial says, ‘The ex
citement in Wall street w hich cooled off a little at
onetime during the afternoon, was renewed with
vigor at the close, and formed a striking contrast
to the dullness w hich has prevailed for a long time
past. The long room was crowded with a surging
crowd of brokers eagerly bidding for stocks under
which prices advanced sharply. In the gold room
still greater excitement prevailed and the frequent
fluctuation* kept tin; dial constantly in motion. In
all directions brokers were running to and fro, and
altogether the scenes and incidents carried one
back to the exciting times of 1869. The cause as
signed for a’l this bnovancy and activity to-day is
the prospective purchase of some West India
island', and an in* reuse in the volume of the cur
rency, but there is no doubt the ruin of some of the
prominent clique leaders to the street is the real
explanation of the great fluctuations of to-day.
Indications point to a sharp revival of speculation
in Wall street generally, and point at movements
in the future. The increased activity in the differ
ent departments of speculation to-day caused more
demand for money this afternoon and for a time
call loans were sharp at 7 per cent, with some ex
ceptional transaction* at coin interest. Towards
the close of hank hour*, however, the market was
easier again, and the demand was supplied more
freely at 7 per cent.
Prime business notes are current at 9<jl'- per
cent. The rise in gold this afternoon had a de
pressing effect mi foreign exchange, and the market
v*. a' dull although nominally linn.
Cotton bills are arriving more freely from the
south, and considerable exchange is making against
the shipments of bond* to Europe. The nominal
rah** at the close were 8/» for long, and tty, fin
short Might bill*.
Gold active and closing 122 s„*j 12-2 \. The carry
ing rates were 7 per eent. gold, and 1-32. The gross
clearance*, were $.Vi.8uti.(JOO.
