THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1871. FROM YESTERDAY'S F1FT1I EDITION. FROM WASHUVQIOtf. The Coretm Business. Washington, June 29. A Cabinet meeting was held to-day. Messrs. Fish, Delano, and Robeson were absent. Corean matters were discussed. The conclusion arrived at wa that it was a bad business. Momentary triumphs cannot be sustained. It Is questionable whether at this time it is politic for the United States to urge war in earnest against the heathen Chinese. The Boutwell and Pleasanton Difficulties were discussed. The Secretary urged that his course had been consistent. He had been Com missioner of Internal Revenue himself, and thought he knew the relations of the office to the head of the Treasury. It had been cus tomary and in accordance with the tenor of the act establishing the Internal Revenue Bureau for the Commissioner to be subordinate to the Secretary of the Treasury. He had no feeling in the matter, but simply wished to know if he was Secretary of the Treasury or If Pleasanton was. The President regretted exceedingly such a misun derstanding should have sprung up. Boutwell did not think it was a misunderstanding. It was to him a direct evasion of a plain construction of the law for a bureau officer to act indepen dent of the bead of any department. He com pared it to relations of the Cabinet officers to the President. The President acknowledged that he always thought bureau officers were en tirely subordinate, but hoped that in the present Instance the difficulty would be amicably set tled. Boutwell declared it could only be done by Pleasanton's conforming to the customs of the Commissioner's Office of Internal Revenue. The President said he would advise with Plea f anion, and there the matter rests. Contract Awarded. Washington, June 29 Benjamin F. French, of Washington, has been awarded the contract for supplying the Senate folding room, and other stationery for the Senate of the United States. KaWS gUIMIVIAH.'g'. City Affairs. The defeat of the Mntuala by the Athle tics yesterday was the theme for exultant conversation by thousands of Philadelphians yesterday afternoon.

The officer is tinder bonds to answer. Adam Oswer, the German who waa Btabbed by Henry Wagner near Floartown, died yesterday afternoon in the Germantown Hospital. Wagner is in Norristown Jail. The fonr men arrested on the charge of rioting at Tenth and Spruce streets on Mon day afternoon, during which Lieutenant Flaherty was shot, were before Alderman Kerr yesterday afternoon.

The man who started the locomotive in the Germantown depot was before Alderman Kerr yesterday afternoon, and held in $500 bail for malioious mischief. Domestic Affairs. It is thought in Washington that the President has declined to pardon Bowen, the bigamist. The grand total of internal revenue re ceipts for the present fiscal year to date is $144,278,008. Baron Gerolt, the German Minister at Washington, yesterday took formal leave of the President. There are now nearly three thousand five hundred claims on file with the Southern Claims Commission.

The Treaty of Washington created some discussion last evening in the British Parlia ment. The Russian Government has suspended the publication of the Moscow Gazette for defaming the constituted authorities.

Provost requesting Councils to review the 1st Division N. G. P. on the 4th of July. Accepted. A communication was reoeived inviting the members of Councils to be present on the Bame day at the presentation of the champion flag to the best drilled regiment. Aooepted. A communication was read from Mr. J. II. Windrim, architect of the House of Correc tion, stating that he could no longet perform the duties of bis position unless his terms were aoceded to, and intimating the proba bility of a lawsuit for the recovery of his plans, drawings, and compensation. The communication gave rise to an ani mated discussion, but was finally referred to the Committee on the House of Correction. A communication was received from his Honor the Mayor, informing Councils that he had approved oertain ordinances and resolu tions. Mr. Shoemaker presented a resolution granting the use of Independence Hall, on the Fourth of July, to the descendants of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Passed. Mr. Downing presented a resolution autho rizing the Major to offer $1000 for the arre-tt and conviction of James Monsghan for shoot ing Lieutenant Flaherty. Passed.

' A resolution confirming certain newly ap pointed members of the Fire Department was agreed to. Also, a resolution for the removal of the wooden building at Lehigh avenue and Edge mont street.

Windrim, architect of the House of Correction, stating that it was im possible for him to any longer oontinue his connection with the building of that edifice, as Councils would not come up to his terms. lieterred. The Harmony Fire Company tendered the use of their engine to the city on the 3d and 4th of July next. Accepted. Mr. Bnzby presented a resolution to the effect that the City Solioitor should take such action as will prevent the lease of the Jersey roads by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. liuzby said that this was an important matter. It means nothing more nor less than to make Philadelphia a way station; to allow the tide of commercial prosperity to flow by her doors and leave her high and dry. It is to aggran dize the city of New York at our expense. General Wagner said he couldn t see how Philadelphia was to be injured. There are two questions to be answered: First. Will we be ruined as stockholders? Second. Will we be ruined as a city ? Mr. Cuyler has said that the city has received since 184G six millions of dividends in. cash and about two millions in scrip. This is so, and his state ment that we have got our money back is true. No action on this lease can affect the trade wbjch will naturally seek New York. The very steamship line, of which so much has been said, we owe to this railroad com pany. The city should be made sufficiently attractive to woo trade. After further remarks on the subject, the resolution was agreed to yeas 33, nays 1G.
