ruled this and refused to pay. Then
the attorneys wen: to the econmuists'
and reformers of the House, and
found them rratly for just that kind
of a job. The Appropriation Com
mittee. with all the papers before it,
recommended a special appropriat
tion to pay this claim of 4.} cents per
mile more than was allowed by Gov
ernment for similar scrvice to any
road in the country. Of course the
sympathizers of Democratic reform
ers were excited by the Confederate
antecedents of meimlmrs m' the com
pany—perhaps by other outwith-ra
tions also—and they ratified the re
commendation of Mr. Atkin’s com
mittee. Rvprcsentntives of tlw par
ty now filling the land from Maine
to California. and from the northern
lakes to the liioGrnnde, with its do
lorons howl for reform and economy,
deliberately swing the doors of the
Treasury wide open and invite the
thieves to go in and help themselves.
~ t is roughly estimated that $50,000-
%0 will not suffice to satisfy the
c aims that mav hp urged under this
precedent. Otl or Southern roads
are already at work preparing to file
tin-Er claims.
Late import; statistics go to con
firm the belief obtaining amng
many intelligent observers that the
day of our dependence on foreign
manufacturers, whose products in
years past kept up such a constant
drain on American gold, has forever
passedhy. The “Graphic” givesa
few figures to prove this, as follows:
The value of all cloths and cassi
, met-es imported during the three
months ending June 30th was 82,-
076,530; of blankets, $400; ofcarpets
8124. 245; of hosiery, shirts and draw
02-6 $40,402; wine $693,265; ofcutlery
$358,668; of tiles 832,289; of saws and
other tools $1,055: of iron and steel
rails $102,273.; The showing of the
latter is especially beggarly as con
trusted with the quantities we impor
ed a few years ago. The statement.
is also made that. much of th‘l wine,
champagne, eto., consumed in this
country at the present day, under
the impression that it is the product
of French and German vineyards,
comes to us from California which
produces above 8,000,000 gallons for
heme consumption, besides large and
increasing quantities exported to
England and continental Europe.
Enough is being done in a politi
cal way to insure us against stagna
tion. The Republican National
Committee has been organized and
engaged in the preliminary work of
the campaign for over a month. lts
antagonist has manifested a disincli
nation for work. and is still “pro
paring” in a half-hearted apathetic
wav.
Congressman Foster reiterates here
the sentiments of his ()hio speech
relative to the “Southern Policy,”
touching, incidentally, upon other
matters. The inference to be drawn
trom what he said relative to the
former. is that considering the cost
to the Republican policy the “poli
-0y” shows fruits only of a negative
kind, wholly unsatisfactory; and
that while the President’s honesty is
still conceded, his course relntive tn
the South and oflicial appointnmme,
has left him conipnrnthwly t'rieudlcss
in Ohio.
There is no excitement here over
the strike report-ad to he impending
throughout the Pennsylvania ('(ml re
ginn. Kearunv's iitcrnry thefts an:
evidenced in his Huston .Iln'mtll, ail
ded to his previous blather-skim rep
utation, makes him the subject of
ridicule here, evou among many of

.\om r, l’ol:ri..t.\'n, (hr—Sir: The
Department is in receipt of your let
ter of the L’llth ultimo, relative to the
elearent-e. of the British steamers
Utter and Grafton, from wrangle, via
Karta Bay to Victory, 3.0.; also your
letter of the 27th ultimo, enclosed
one addressed to you on the. same
day at Portland, by Caleb 'l‘. Far.
in Mr. l"ay’sletter to you he suggests
‘that permsssion be granted foreign
steamers to take freight and passen
gers and them at Kartu Bay. Alaska;
he does not state from what point,
but it is supposed that he refers to
Wrangle, or any other point in Alas
ka. It appears also, horn your let
ter, that American citzens are open
ing a copper mine at Kartn Bay and
desire to ~~hip copper thence in for
eign s‘e uners to Victoria: hence the
privilege is asked for them to clear
from \\'rangel via Karta Bay, in our
own territory, to Victoria, that they
may take freight from either point to
the latter port. It appears also,
that you have advised tne Deputy
Collector not to grant any such
clearance. The rights of foreign
vessels, as to clearances from our
ports on the ocean coasts to foreign
ports, are mainly governed by sec
tions 419?, 4347 and 4367, R. S.; the
last section allows a foreign Vtk‘sel to
go from port (0 port of the United
States to deliver her foreign two-w ~
but forbids her to carry (lttlnflhlic
gomls for delivery from one port 'I
the country to another. This prom
hition is construed by the Depart
ment to forbid the carrying of ons
sengers by a foreign vessel between
port and port on payment of fare.
Under the provisions of the sectimw
cited, the. steamers in question may
clear from \\'rnngel for Victoria, B
0., via Kai-ta Bay, and may take up
freight from any point in Alaska for
Victoria under such clearance; but
they cannot take freight or passen
gers between different points in
Alaska, where the delivery of such
freight or passengers is to be made
in that Territory. The rule. applicu
ble, theretofore, to foreign vessels in
their clearances, foreign, from that
Territory, is this: Such vessels may
clear foreign from any place in Alas
ka where an officer is stationed to
grant clearances via any other place
in the Territory designated by the
clearing oflicer, and may take up
and convey freight or passengers
destined to a foreign port; hut, un
der such clearance, no vessel can
take up freight of domestic origin,
or passengers, destined to be con
veyed wholly within the limitsof the
Territory and landed'there, or to he
landed in any other part of the Unit
ed States. Very Respectfully,
H. F. FRE‘Nt‘Il, Ass’t Sec’y. i
