Ace., Ace. Worreepondenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) WASHINGTON, August 5, 1868.—The capital is 'excessively dull and stupid. Indeed, the only exciting subject of conversation in all circles is the Internal Revenue CommissionershiP muddle. Everybody expected that ex-Governor Cox, of Ohio, would accept when addressed in such persuasive tones by Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner Rollins. The latter, supposing IL was "all fixed," left with his wifo and family on Monday evening for his New Hampshire home. The fact is Rollins wants to be relieved of the office, and his wife being sick ho deter mined to take a few days' rest, no matter what might be the result. Before he left he reasonably expected that Gov. (?ox would accept, but yes terday that gentleman persisted in declining the position, so we are all at sea again. Cox was warmly pressed by leading Republicans, among thern Gen. Rawlins, chief of Gen. Grant's staff; Con. Robert C. Schenck, Chairman of the House Committee of Ways and Means; Henry D. Cook, the banker, and many others, as a sound Repub lican, so Rollins felt perfectly safe in turning over his portfolio to him. The present condition of the affair is that the President is represented to be exceedingly irate on account of Rollins leaving before the matter was definitely settled. and the rumor is that the President has deter mined to accept Rollins's resignation absolutely, without regard to the condition attached to It; and put some friend of his in the place, ad in terim, taking advantage of Rollins's absence to give the party selected possession of the office. This report appears to bepretty well authenti cated, but I cannot vouch for its accuracy, as I do not happen to be one of the White House re porters. Some people think the President will make no move in this matter while Attorney- General Everts Is absent, but *hose who know Johnson best shake tlleir beads doubtingly about his waiting for Evartq's advice, for they know that such a proceeding would be "strictly Johnsonlan," for when ho takes a notion to do anything, he does it, without regard to the advise of bis best friend. So we are prepared to be surprised at nothing he may do. THE PRESIDENT'S CONSISTENCY-THE CASES OF ROLLINS AND STRADISAN. In the case of I,loUins, the President holds that the Commissioffer cannot attach a condition to his resignation, to take effect when his successor is appointed and confirmed. --But--In -the case of Collector James B. Steadman, at Now Orleans, w . osp resigns on con inee Ise same cons ion, the President construes the matter differently, for after accepting Steadman's resignation, and send ing in the name of John Hancock, of Philadel phia, as Steadman's successor, who was rejected , by the Senate, he (the President) is of the opinion that the condition attached to Steadman's resig nation is binding, and accordingly directs him to go to New Orleans and resume the duties pf his office! It's a poor rule that won't work both ways, but Johnson is one of the few men who do not recognize this principle. AMBITIOUS PATRIOTS WILLING TO SERVE THEIR =GI There aro hosts of patriots here ambitious of serving their country at the head of the Internal Revenue Bureau, but those most anxious for it are the very ones whom Johnson will not ap point, so it is impossible to predict who may be selected to take the place. Collector Alexander Cummings, of yoUr Fourth District, came down last night, sod, it is understood, is willing to ac cept the Commissionership ad interim, but it is very doubtful that the President will appoint him. TUE SUPERVISORS OF INTERNAL REVENUE Before Commissioner Rollins left, he made about half the nominations for Supervisor of In ternal Revenue provided for by the new law, and forwarded them to . Secretary McCalloch The names of the parties selected have been kept a profound secret, but it is reported that D. P. Southworth, ex-Assessor of the Fourth District, was nominated for Pennsylvania, and Edington Fulton, of the Baltimore American, for the Mary land District. Several others are mentioned, but these are most important to your readers. Of the thirteen persons nominated. one was for Pennsylvania, one for Ohio, one for ,East and West Virginia, one for Maryland, one for Ten -I:Lessee, one for New Hampshire, Vermont and -Connecticut, one for Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, one for North and South Carolina, and the balance divided in other districts. South worth was recommended by the leading Republicans of Pennsylvania, but his chances for being confirmed by the Secretary; are problemat ical, as McCulloch just now is not much enam ored of Radicals. Fulton, of the Baltimore American, was endorsed by both Senators Rev -erdy Johnson and clekersl (before Senator Joh nson resigned), but notwithstanding this, a fierce fight will be waged against him by those Mary landers who think that no man who publishes a Radical paper should hold a Federal office under the present administration. His opponents al lege that Reverdy Johnson was going to leave the country, and hie endorsement should go for nothing, and besides, they say that neither Rev erdy Johnson nor Fulton represents the political sentiment of Maryland. And they do not—that's a fact. 1352=C111!8r.E Nearly all the Departments here arc getting in their coal for the coming winter. The proposals for supplying this article range between ;$5 and $6 per ton, which is fully one dollar per ton cheaper than was paid last year. The coal deal ers, however, were u little fearful of putting in bids, for, in case the strike in the Pennsylvania , Goal Region continued, it would necessarily raise the price of coal, and eatall a loss upon contracts. It is not a little curious that some of the heaviest contracts for coal for Government 11811 should be awarded to coal dealers here, instead of dealers in Philadelphia. For example, a con tract was awarded this summer for supplyin; the Navy Department with ten thousand tons of anthracite coal, deliverable at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, whence it is distributed to other points where it is used for naval purposes, only a small moiety of it being used at Ptilladelphdi. For this large contract, it is said, only three bids were entered, one of which was from a Philadel phia firm. The award was made to S. P. Brown tit on, of this city, who are largely interested in the coal trade, and the curious spectacle is pre sented of a Washington firm supplying coal to the Philadelphia Navy Yard. co ,, ts e tb.3y dc not transport the coal from Pennsylvania to Washington, and then send it back to Pliihdielrf 'a, ' - ut they go into the Phila delphia market, buy it there, and deliver it according to Lb; terms of their contract, at your Navy Yard. If this arm can afford to do this and make money, what shall be said of your Phila delphia merchants, who sit idly in their counting rooms waiting for business to come to them, when their mote active business rivals from other cities actually corner in and undersell them under Their very noses? tjusqUELIANZIA. - Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth. [From the New ()ileum Picayune, August 1.1 - Those who have bcrn around the Central Sta tion late at night have doubtless observed an old -man, dignified In appearance, and cvideutly superior to such 13 rroundings, who for sonic time past has been seeding lodgings there. iie has a strange hi,tory—has had an experience in life that posse6bCr ^II the singularity of romance. Before the war he wa, planter in TeXn9, and possessed of immense wealth. His deposits in the Union Bank of this city at one time reached $BO,OOO in gold. His landed estate stretched over leagues of territory, and more resembled a German principality than the possessions of an American planter. His homu - stead was the seat of ease and opulence, and a family of children added interest to his house, and gave an incentive to the accumulation of wealth. On the breaking out of the war he went to Europe; but before leaving he made his ;will and executed papers which placed his -property In the hands of his son and 13011- in -jaw, This was done that in case of his - .death there - should be no trouble about the dis tribution of his estate. At the end of the war -be came back. But his absence had given to his Children a control of wealth they did not mean to surrender. They rtfused to recognize htm Or permit him to have even a pittance dwith which to support life. A difficulty occurred between himself and, son, in which the latter was shot in the arm and 'dongerously, wounded. 8 exasperated was tho outraged parent that he even expressed his regret that the life of his offspring had not been sacrificed. ID) finally came to this city and instituted legal pro ceedings for the recovery of some property which be has in this , State. Pending the slow developmenti of the Courts, without money and without friends, this old man, nearly 80 years of age, is compelled to seek shelter at the Pollee Station, while a daughter of his, residing in a princely mansion not a dozen squares away, en joys every luxury that immense wealth and un bounded resources can secure.

BURGLARS AT Woax.—A co-operative associa tion of burglars appears to be in successful work ing order in various sections of the lower coun ties composing South Jersey. From the number of depredations and robberies committed it i 4 evident more than one gang are employed. Early yesterday morning a bold burglary was perpe trated in the store of George, Brewer et Co., on Market street, below Front. Tho thieves effecte an entrance in the rear of tho'building, ransacked every place where they believed booty could be found, and finding none, they proceeded to blow open the fire-proof. From it they got ono hun dred and fifty dollars, and then decamped without molestation. About the same time the office of • Mr. W. S. Scull, on Taylor's avenue, below Se cond street, was likewise entered, bat there the. robbers fared rather poorly. They obtained only about one dollar. The frequency of these occur rences ought to elicit more care in placing valua bles at night beyond the reach of these midnight depredators. RELIGIODS.—The various, congregations and churches of the Methodist denomination seem unusually Interested in the various camp-meet ings which have commenced and are being hold In many parts of the First Congressional District. Those recently held at Woodruffs,and at Swedes boro were largely attended. and considerable good was accomplished. It is said that a number were converted and taken into the church as probationary members. Another of these woods meetings is to begin near Barnsboro, on the lino of the West Jersey railroad, on the 12th instant. Great effort has been devoted to preparing accom modations for those who may attend, and it is thought that it will be the largest meeting of the kind ever hold in South Jersey. Additional trains are to be run on the West Jersey road, both day and evening, for the convenience of those who desire to participate. ELEVEN Housns BIIIINED.—About twelve o'clock last night a fire broke out in a frame building on Sycamore street, east of Broadway, and before the flames could be checked eleven small dwelling houses, mostly occupied by colored persons, were burned. The firemen were promptly on the spot, but from want of sufficient hose could render but little assistance. SALE NOR Taxas.—On Saturday next, fifty-six valuable properties in Camden will be sold for taxes to whoever will take the same for the shortest time and pay the taxes and cost on the same. Those who wish to prevent their lots and houses from being sold ought to attend to the payment of said taxes and costa immediately. THE SHERIFFALTY.—There seems to be an in teresting rivalry among the candidates for the sheriff's nomination, more so in fact than for any other county office. On the Republican side the aspirants are all good men, and It is impossible to come to any definite conclusion as to who ,will receive the choice of the convention. REFITISI.I('AN 311:ECTINGS.- - The Republican Union i'arty of Camden, and throughodt the First Congressional District, aro making arrange ments for a series of mass meetings, which will be ably and eloquently addressed by eminent speakers. TITNICKS.—At a special meeting of- the-United States Fire Company. a vote of thanks was ten dered to Chas. . mmerman an+ • rs. • onry Franks for their bountiful supply of refreshments furnished members on the occasion of the late fire on Second street.

Partlculare of the Now Fenian Nove l:11 clot—Very Reliable Private Ad vices. [From the Nashville (Tenn.) Press and Times, August 3. The Fenians are making activepreparations for an early movement. We learn from reliable private sources that the time, and man ner of the invasion has been decided on at the recent conference an Buffalo. During themonth of August, the move ment will take place. There will be no scattering of forces this-time. The principal body of Feni ans is formed east of Illinois. All those not immediately situated in the Eastern States and New York, east of Elmira and Oswego, will con gregate on the Niagara river, about 12,000 men. The remainder will be congregated near Ogdens burg—about 14,000 men. The concentration of the troops will be effected with the utmost rapidity, and the invasion effected from these two points. The final preparations aro now being made all over the States. The two com panies here in Nashville are completing their or ganization. Last night the first company organ ized by electing Captain M. J. Houston, a soldier in the regular army for fifteen years, and who was almost literally riddled with oalis in Indian fights, and during the recent war, to command. The other company will hold an election in a day or two. We look for stormy times among our Fenian friends in a few days. MO,WATO NE'TH, only so, at PATTEN'Et, 140 S Chestnut street T, I GENTS.

This Company, National in its character,offers . by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of Pre mium and New Tables, the most desirable means of insuring life yet presented to the public. The rates of premium, being largely reduced, are made as favorable to the Insurers as those of the best Mutual Companies, and avoid -ail the complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi dends and the mii-understandings which the latter are apt to cause the Policy-Holder. Several new and attractive tables are now pre sented, which need only to be understood to prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN COME-PRODUCING - POLICY and RETURN PREMIUM POLICY. In the forpier, the policy. holder not only secures a life insurance, payable at death, but will receive, if living, after a period of a few years, an annual income equal to ten per cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of his policy. In the latter, the Company agrees to return to the as sured the total amount of money he has paid in, in addition to the amount of his policy. The attention of persons contemplating insur ing their lives or increasing the amount of insur ance they already have,is called to the special ad vantages offered by the National Life Insurance Company.
