Liberality ok thb Washington Library Company. Much surprise has been manifested as to how the Washington Library Company can act so liberally In the execution of the plan adopted by them for the raising of funds in aid of the Riverside Institute a home for the gra tuitous education of soldiers' and sailors' orphans. This plan, It will be remembered, consists In selling stock at one dollar per share. Each share not only secures a fine steel-plate engraving, worth at retail fifty per ;oent. more than is paid for the stock, but also guarantees some present to be awarded hereafter, when presents to the value of $300,000 will be divided among the stockholders. The arrangement, no doubt, is an exceedingly liberal one, and the Washington Library Company are enabled to offer such extraordinary inducements from the simple fact that they purchased their en gravings and presents to be awarded In such enormously large quantities, that the cost per single article Is reduced to quite a low figure, In comparison with the ordinary retail price. Thus It will be seen that the purchaser of five shares of stock, costing five dollars, reoelves, in the first place, the Handsome engraving en titled "The Marriage of Pocahontas." This same engraving, published by the same party, Is retailing In this and other cities at eight dol lars. In addition to this the purchaser receives one gift for each ol the five shares of stock held by him. The plan Is one as liberal as It Is novel, and those who would investigate for themselves should call at the principal offloe, No. 1225 Ches- nut street. Hollow ay's Pills. Diarrhosa.

FRQM WASHINGTON THIS P. M. special despatches to evkkino telegraph.! Washington, July 25. Civil Offlcera in Louisiana. A semi-official letter from New Orleans de nies the statement that Oeneral Sheridan in tends to remove all the civil officers in his dis trict who cannot take the test oath, but admiU that he may find it necessary to displace Lieutenant-Governor Voorhee3 and a few other prominent offloials in Louisiana, and that he will certainly remove a majority of the civil officers in Texas. The same letter states that the registration in Louisiana has been completed, and that everything is in readiness in that State to carry out the reconstruction policy of Con gress as soon as an official copy of the last Supplementary Act is received. The removal threatened in Texas are rendered necessary to secure a full enrolment of the voters of many of the counties of that State, by the continued interference of some of the civil offloers with the registering boards. In several counties members of the boards have been assassinated, and in others they have been prevented from assembling and commencing their labors by threats of personal violenoe from ex-Rebeld. The same authority announces the abandon ment of the Mexican filibustering schemes which have agitated the Oulf coast since the death of Maximilian. Tax on Distilled Spirits. A tremendous pressure is already brought to bear upon the Secretary of the Treasury and Commissioner of Internal Revenue to prevent the carrying out of contemplated reforms in the manner of collecting the tax on distilled spirits. So many millions of capital are involved in the illicit production of liquors that a league of the prominent distillers and rectifiers is a most formidable power to over come. The Department has, however, ia contemplation a plan for the collection of the whisky tax which will probably be made publio within the coming fortnight. (Tha Coming Election In Tennessee. Another deputation from Tennessee has been here urging the President to send Federal troops to that State, in order to insure order at the polls on the first of August. They re present that thirty United States soldiers sta tioned at the polls in each county will secure order and a fair election. The President re plied that he had left that matter entirely in the control of Oeneral Thomas, and the 'peti tion must be submitted to him, and that no doubt the Oeneral would have a sufficient force present to protect voters and preserve order, should the civil authorities of the State fail to do so. Boy Drowned. A lad named Hubbard, re siding at TMrteenth and Aroll street, waa drowned thin morning wnlle bathing In Hrlgg'e Dam, near Frankford.
