8 THE DAILY EVEJS1MG TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 18G0. CITY nTEIiOEI,t!I!' rOLlTICAL, ffce Iterrlvem f Temonal Tnxee-The Nnta- hl MwMtm l the I,cHlI"tlYe District... rhprp iieeras to ba some doubt as to tho right of thi llprelver of Taxes to appoint for the present imna irn the receivers of tho poll tax. Under one ? the provisions of the Registry act. it Is provided tiint all acts with reference to the collection of por onal taxes Inconsistent with that act be repealed. Mr. Melloy, the present Receiver of Taxes, was desirous o'f having the qurstlon settled, and he there fore submitted it to the consideration of three prominent Democratic lawyers, who at llrst declared that the Receiver had no power nndertho ' Registry act to appoint receivers. However, within a few hours, one of the three stated, on a reconside ration of the subject, he had come to the conclusion that the Receiver possessed the right to appoint the receivers to receive the tax from those who wore on the regular assessment of this city, but that the new act debarred them from collecting the poll tax from those who have been placed on the extra assess ment, Mr. Melloy, not being willing to act on the decision of this one gent'enian, has again submitted the matter to the three, who are now holding it under advisement. A decision will have to be given Within a few days. But few persons availed themselves this morning (if the privilege of obtaining their naturalization papers. Judges Lndlow and Stroud, however, sat the day through, but the numbers applying were comparatively smnll. Many people are under the Impression that yesterday was the last day on which residents could be put on the assessment list, bnt on reviewing the law, It seems that Ostolier 2d and 4th are still left for that purpose. On these two duys the canvassers appointed by the Board of Aldermen sit. The assessors were kept busily engaged yesterday and last evening in hearing the applications of those desiring to appear on the list of voters. In many of the wards the line was kept up until midnight, though the doors of the apartments had been closed at 7 o'clock. Difficulty after difficulty arose from the Ignorance of the citizens of the provisions of the Kfglstry act, but everywhere the best of order was observed. Noticeable at all the head quarters were the blue uniforms of tho psllcomon, who, though they were on duty to preserve the peace, took as active a part as any of the citizens in seeing those of their kind through the mill. The divisions in the various Legislative districts in both parties still continue, and the prospect Is the citizen will have, In many of the districts, several candidates from whom to chose. All the disputed districts have been referred to the two Executive Committees, both of whom have rendered their de cisions, notwithstanding which the diirerent candi dates still remain in the field. Overtures have been made, but to no purpose. In several cases the warl committees have waited upon tho aspirants Tor le gislative honors (?) and offered them the chance or agreeing upon a new man, but these oirera have not Imen accepted. Interesting Occasion. Home time since Captain J. Tarker Martin, of the Grey Reserves, who has commanded Company I of that regiment since Its organization, resigned from its command. Last eveu lng he was made the recipient of a handsomely en graved series of resolutions from the oillcers and men of his old company. The presentation cere mony took place about 8 o'clock, at tho Armory, at Broad and Race streets. The company being assembled, Captain David Bcust, the present com mander, came forward, and in a neat and well-delivered speech, presented the following series of resolutions, which were handsomely written by 0.li. Snyder, one of the Committee: Hkai)()I'ahtfkh "I" Company,) 1st Regiment Infantry, 2o Hhuiadk, I lsr Division P. V. M., f Phii.adki.phia, Sept. 3i, IHtiM.

HAMUKL WINKWORTH, THOMAS K. KIHBY, GKORUW K. SSYDKK. Jn. On receiving the resolutions, Captuia Martin thanked the company, and introduced Colonel Har manus Nell", who, in behalf of the recipient, made an address of some length, which was listened to with marked attention and loudly applauded. The com pany was soon after called to "grub"' and the inner man refreshed. Numerous toasts were druuk and Tesponded to. Fine music enlivened the scene. Tho party dispersed at a late hour, highly delighted with the ceremonies of the occasion. Thk Ckawfokds in Tkouiilk. Yesterday, at the house of John Martin, on Frankford road, above Norrls street, the extra ass3essor were spinning out their lists. A certain James Crawford came there, bellicose and unruly, and inclined to go lor a head wherever he saw one. lie took his station on the stairway of the house. A man ascended, and when hla mouth had got to the level of James' boot James' leg nnwound like a watch-spring. Result, the dislo cation of three or four of the stranger's front teeth, and the tumbling of the stranger's body down the stairs. Policeman Levy chanced to bo Btanding near by, and of course he took James into custody. Al derman Uclns then held him to answer In the sum 4,1 sum. James not being restrained of his liberty, and smarting under his arrest, determined at any cost to batter somebody. In company with another Craw lord, christened William, he goi hold of Mr. James Horner, pulled him into a house not lar from the. scene of the former ail'ray, and there unmercifully "went for him." Horner retired with a cut on the eye, another one on the head, and a perforation in the cheek, evidently made by some implement like an ice-pick. He was too severely wounded to ap pear against them after their arrest, and -consequently Alderman Heins held them In tlftou ball each for a further hearing. James, beginning to realize that he was paying dear for his whistle, grew desperate. He returned to the house of John Martin. A Dutchman there encountered him whereupon James' wrath waxed fierce. He struck straight from the shoulder, and caromed with his knuckles on the dark side of the aforesaid Dutchman's nose. The Dutchman spun round awhile, and then scored one on the sidewalk. For this little game, James was held in an additional SOO bail, and then, thoroughly disgusted with his 111 luck, went home, and retired to ills virtuous vouch. . Thr Peach Market.

He had bent his elbow rather too frequently during the morning, an I therefore , was a little "how come you so ?" He walked up to a certain John McDougall, and let drive. Day Ser geant Jelfrles. who was present at James' elbow stopped the blow beautifully, and then collared James. On searching hint at the Kt alien House a six-barrelled revolver was found on his ncrson. ai. tlerman Eggleton held him to answer oa the charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct, assault and battery, ana carrying conceaieu aeaaiy weapons. At the same place. Fourth and George streets, during the evening, another fuss occurred. Homo seven chaps, alleged to be Twentieth ward knucks. kicked up a disturbance there. One of them, Georgo loneman by name, had a shooting-iron ou his per- aon. They were all arrested and carried before Aldorman Rlddell.

A notice has already appeared In Tub Telegraph that a man sintering from a gunshot wound in tne leg was aumuiea into tne umscopul Hospital, and theruJHied. The Coroner held au in quest upon his body, at which it was ascertained that the name of deceased was Thomas Murphy, that he was thirty years of age and married; and that tho wound which resulted in his death was received bv the accidental discharge of Ills own gun while blrdlug at Pennypack ereek, near Iirldesburg.

Efforts ef the Sinnlh llcuency to Kxrlte Iloi Hilly nnulnnl ine I mien ninics, This was telcsrapbcd from Washington yes terday to tho N. Y. Tribune: Letters havo been received hero recently from an active Spanish republican connected with the Madrid press, which speak at some length of the efforts made by the regency to excite hostility against the United States on account of Cuban affairs. The object is really, according to the writer, to enable General Prim and his coadju tors to put some foreign prince upon the throne, and thus bar the forward progress of tho Demo cratic party. It Is asserted In the letters that tlicllcpublicans have been growing more formida ble dailv. and nt any opportune moment they would be ready to assume the Initiative. They, according to this writer, world bo perfectly ready to accept Cuban Independence. Hie gov ernment are encouraging a war spirit agatust the American republic, hecauso it is really the best way out of its internal dilllculties. The Kepuunean leaders are determined to oppose this outburst, but from the indications iu:ini fe6tcd at the date of tho correspondence, it would be ditllcult to keep even their followers Intact on the Cuban issue. The Democratic party havo lost nil confidence in Prim, and think that his visit to Franco is designed only to arrange for some regal candidate o whom' Napoleon will approve, and ho (Prim) can control. There is no friendship lost, these letters assert, between Serrano and Prim, and it is believed that tho former would not bo unwilling to accept tho mediation proposed by General Sickles on the part of his Government. The Fictitious Victory. Correspondence from Havana, dated the 11th, says: Ou the 7th instant, tho Spanish journals Eublishcd the private and olllcial accounts of tho lUtle of Ls Tunas. They put the number of the insurgent forces at 0000 men, while their own, they say, did not amount to as many as 450, counting veterans, volunteers, aud firemen. The Spaniards insist that they were the winners in the fight. This seems strange, for Boniche, the telegraph operator, the Commissary of War, the Health Physician, and the Postmaster, all from Las Tunas, are now in our city. A part of the garrison of Las Tunas is here, and tho re mainder with Benegai. These facts being true, how could it happen that the victory was gained by the Spaniards ? Ofliclnl .llnil Robbery. The Government is at present playing an ex traordinary card. When the Columbia, on her last trip, was ready to leave hero, many persons, as is always the case, went to the house of Drain fc Co., the consignees, with their hands full of letters for New York, France, England, Germanj', aud other foreign parts. Arriving at the door, they encountered the police, who took in hand every letter; and as there were, down stairs nna upstairs m tne omce, many brokers and collectors also, these latter were examined for letters, and many were compelled to open their purses and pocket-books in order tnat aid den treasure might bo discovered. Many of tho letters were written in languages very different from Cnstilian; and as, perhaps, not one of the police could read anything but Spanish, you can readily understand what sort of confusion was brought about. Tho consequence was, that a very short mail was taken by tho Columbia, and doubtless the same will happen with the Mis souri, which leaves at 5 o clock to-day for Nassau and New York. The Mariposa, which bears this to you, will carry a large part of the Co lumbia's mails. This is uot tho only difficulty in the wav; for letters from New York and abroad to itavanapeoplo are frequently detained at the post oflice, and sometimes uover reach the persons addressed. The feeling against foreigners, particularly Americans, is growing more and more bitter every day. A foreigner here at present has no safety other than in a well-sealed mouth. PilibiiMcrliiK Expeditions. Contrary to expectations, the Havana journals affect to treat slightingly the sailing of fiiibuster- n g expeditions irom the I m tea states, and tne reported departure of tbe Hornet has not caused that extreme excitement which characterizes the press hero when they are called ou to chro nicle anything which tliey consider derogatory to la dignUad Espanola. Tho Prensa says, speaking oi the departure: ' c nave said it a thousand times these questions should bo examined calmly, making very little use of charlatanism and bravado. In the Lnited States a filibuster may load a vessel with those articles which best suit his convenience, embark passengers, aud despatch vessel and cargo for soma port in the Antilles or the neurhborinsr continent, ana utter- wards give orders for it to chango its course and discharge its lrelgut on tne coast ot tjuoa. The Government of tho United States has nothing to do with a vessel despatched for Colon, Kingston, Sisal, or Honduras. The Spanish Government, if its cruisers ehonld encounter the vessel In Spanish waters, or if the soldiers and volunteers who, in Cuba, defend tho cause of Spain, should capture tho filibusters, they may Inllict tho chastisement they merit without tear or what loreign Govern ments may say or do in tho premises. This is tho proper course, and we ought all to pursue it, adopting measures that will insure tho cap ture oi ine vrin'iiuioHiirivs uy our uiuti ur uutui forces, which, bv the wav, is not as dilllcult of accomplishment as it appears." The V ox ae t uba, lu reiernng to tne circum stance, says: 'The steamer iiornct is entirely iree, ami it is believed that her destination Is the coast of Cuba. Well, let her come; wo are tired of list ening to reports of filibustering expeditions, which, when prepared, do not leave; when they leave, do not arrive; and if they arrive, disap pear as if the ground opened and swallowed them. Let them come lu good time nil those that wish; let tho filibusters disembark by thou sands. Perhaps tho C'atrofaccioxas will now pluck up heart, and we will have the pleasure of seeing their faces, and succeed in defeating them In formal combat."

Colonel J. W. Powell, the Colorado explorer, rcturne.l to this city yes terday morning, having successfully travelled the entiro grand canon from Queen river, tho point where Colorado debouches into nu open plain, in the Territory of Arizona, from the point where Colonel Powell's last letter was written. The expedition descended over about four hun dred miles between walls almost vertical, rang ing from five hundred to fifteen hundred feet in height, tho exterior of the canon being from twenty-five hundred to four thousand feet above the bed of the river. More than two hundred waterfalls and cascades, emptying themselves over tho walls of tho canon Into the main river, were seen in this district, presenting almost every variety of natural scenery and geological formation. Tho canon consists principally of limestone, saudstonc, and granite, found only at tnree places, ana in limited amount. No discoveries of precious metals were made, and no indications of gold or silver found in tho bed of tho river. One section of the canon was proved to consist of very fine and beautifully polished marble, which is at present entirely in accessible. The country traversed was barren beyond description, and Is pronounced by Colonel Powell not susceptible of cultivation, even by irrigation. A despatch from St. Paul says: After two dry and pleasant days, a thunder storm occurred on Sunday night, putting the grain in shock back to its former wet condition. FROM NEW YORK.

SHERMAN. Some Aatute Crltlclaina on Female Apparel. It will be seen, from what we are about to re late, that the General, although Immersed almost head over ears in matters pertaining to the military condition of the country, has yet not lost sight entirely of society and its reforms. Let skeptics scoff but Sherman nevertheless is, aud most likely ever will be, weak when a woman confronts him with a petition. He would rather face a battery than refuse them. This is tbe latest relative to his last interview with little Doctress Walker, which the Cincinnati Cow nicrcial reports. She petitioned for a place, and he, like a great soldier, changed his tactics in the face of the enemy. That ToKKery. "Vhv don't vou wear proper clothing ? That toggery is neither one thing nor tho other," said the Genera, as he pointed his finger to the non descript garb of the doctor.
