AT Tim CnEarner, this evening the White .Fawn will be given in its reconstructed condition. Air. Burke will execute the "lightning drill" which has been received with so much applause every night. The horseback drill will be given, with the famous cascade scene, which is certainly one of the most exquisite effects ever produced upon the Philadelphia stage.

NEW YORK, September 10tb.—ArTIved—Steam ship Allernania, from Hamburg; and Mtesouri, 'from Havana, LETTER FROM WASITISOWON. Representative Woodbridge, of Ver. moist, Denies that He is a Candidate for Commis/donor of fievenne--Status of the !supervisors and BetectiVes— easons Why Rollins Has not Appointed the Latter—The Tobacco Bonded 'Warehouse Question Sets. Clement. Mulls of Set. Clement. (Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bollettn.] WASHINGTON, September, 9, 1868.—Representts tire Woodbridge,' of Verment, whom a number of newspaper correspondents here had reported as seeking the appointment of Commissioner of internal Revenue, to succeed Rollins, this morn , into called upon Mr. R., and assured him that he (Woodbridge) was not a candidate for the position, did not want it, - and was at a loss to _ know why the story was started that he was seeking the place. So this effectually settles the case so far as Mr. Woodbridge is concerned, that he is decidedly "out of the ring." There is no change to note in the matter of the appoint ment of Supervisors, Commissioner 'Rollins is determined to adhere to the nominations already made, and there's; no prospect of his "backing dawn." Secretary McCulloch, on the other hand seems equally resolved not to confirm those re commended by Rollins, so there is no telling when the dead lock will end. No detectives haye been appointed by Commissioner Rollins, ex cept two or three in different parts of the country, where their services, were abso lutely required, and could not be dispensed with. The appointment of detectives has teen delayed to see what action Secretary McCulloch would take in regard to the Supervisors. The detec tives are, in a measure, assistants to the Sur visors, and the Commissioner has very w isely refrained from appeinting them till the difficulty about the Supervbeis has been adjusted, because when that is settled the Supervisors chosen will be consulted upon the appointment of detectives to be assigned to their ffistricts. The report that Rollins would appoint the twenty-five detectives allowed him by law, and then get along the bast way he could without Supervisors, requiring the detectives to perform the duties of the latter, as far as practicable, is without foundation. THE TOBACCO BONDED wARELIOUSE QUESTION. Collector Diehl and J. Rinaldo Sank, of Phila delphia. representing the tobacco trade of your city, left, for home last evening. They only partially succeeded in having their difficulties settled, as Commissioner Rollins was not author ized to grant them all the relief they desired. Four applications tor tobacco bonded ware housea were presented, and an understanding was had that these should be consolidated into two, and the parties in Philadelphia interested in the trade must settle the difference between themselves, which will be no easy matter, unless they agree to "toss np" as to who shall with draw, and which agreed upon to be reported to Washington favorably. Another difficulty arises from the fact that:the law contemplates that these bonded warehoneei shall tre only used for storage, whereas, hereto lore, the proprietors have used them as pikassof traffic, by having counting-rooms attached to their warehouses, where they. sold to their custo mers as they came along. The Commissioner is disposed to grant to the trade all the privileges be can, and has intimated that he will make no objections to connting-rooms in the bonded ware hunses, although the law neither authorizes nor prohibits traffic upon the premises bonded. • fiesquituxsars, mT21411 EUROPEAN AFFADIB General Dix on the Political Situation in America. PARIS, Aug. 28, 1868.—Certain English paper writers, very badly informed, and certainly very little interested in the grand political campaign of the coming faith' the United States, have un dertaken to state the views of two or three of the American Ministers abroad on the questions in volved In the coming election. One paper has stated in the most confident manner that Mr. Reverdy Johnson and General Dix were head and bead for Seymour as the next President of the United States. This statement I have reason to know is rightly believed to be untrue as to Mr. Johnson, and certainly it Is as to General Dix. The latter speaks with the utmost freedom and frankness on the subject with all, and has no dis guise when one asks his opinion. He says that he should regard the election of Mr. Seymour at this juncture as a great calamity, and that the only hope for the peace and tranquillity of the country during the next four years is in the firm nt ss, good sense and patriotism of Gen. Grant. He speaks with the same freedom against the resolution passed by the Fourth of July Con- vention of Democrats for paying the five-twen ties in paper, and, considers it a gross violation of the public' faith pledged under circumstances of imminent danger and difficulty. He says that the well-known Indecision of Seymour, as well as his conduct during the rebellion, and the repudi ating declaration of the Convention held in New York which put him in nomination, ought to be decisive of the approaching contest. In every form General Dix,mindful of the trials and sufferings through which our country has passed during the rebellion, and with a full know ledge of the causes and influences that prompted it and carried it on so long and the elements that are now ruling the Democratic jparty, is an avowed opponent of the Democratic party and its leaders and candidates in the coming cam paign. He is an open and earnest advocate of the election of General Grant, through which he sees a career of peace,prosperity and tranquillity for our country- I do not hesitate to state the opinions of Gen. Dix thus fully, for he has expressed them with out the slightest reserve to more than one of my intimate acquaintances. No one-who has talked with him on the subject has been left in the dark relative to his opinions, -which are essentially as I have stated above. Of my own personal know ledge I am - sure - that 1 have given, in it brief man ner, General . Dlx's_views on the coming contest. Experiments at Chalons. A Paris letter says: Among the experiments announced to be made In the - presence - of the EOl - during ids approaching visit to the camp Em of Chalons, are some of a remarkable character, in which the explosive force applied to heavy ordnance is to be produced• by the, agency of petroleum. The French authorities profess to expect important results from these experiments. The Death of Madame Victor Hugo. The Pall Mall Gazette says : • Mdme. Victor Hugo, whose death is announced by a telegram from Brussels, had just arrived in that city - from Paris, where she had been staying for some months In the hope of obtaining relief from a malady from which she had been long suf fering. On Tuesday afternoon, without any pre monitory symptoms, she was seized with an attack of congestion of the brain, from which she never recovered. She was insensible almost from the seizure till her death, which took place between six and seven o'clock yesterday morn ing. The deceased lady had expressed a wish to be burled at Weenier, in France, in the same grave as that in which her daughter Leopoldine was interred twenty-five years• ago. This wish will be respected, and M. Hugo and his sons, Charles and Francis will accompany the remains I to the . French frontier, but no further. , I The Chassepot Rifle. Some experiments have recently been made at the camp of Lyons on the bodies of dead horses, with the.view of ascertaining -the precise charac ter of the wounds _produced by conical ballots discharged, from the Chassepot muskets. It is said that the aperture, made b,y,th e :projectile at the moment it penetrates 'the flesh is commonly no larger than an ordinary pea, but that the ro tary movement of the ball revolving on its axis gradually enlarges its eLreles until it makes a hole into which a person could thrust both flats. FRANCE. PHILADELPHIA, THUR Seizure of a French Journal. The Paris Figaro of August 28 was seized. It publishes a long letter from Mazzhat to Garibaldi, in which the old Italian republican expresses his conviction that Napoleon lIL la determined to add the Rhenish provinces to his crown, and that he considers a general conflagration can only lead to events which will be advantageous to de mocracy. He bids Garibaldi remember that his mission is to protect the peoples against kings in like manner as engineers, who, by their works of improvement. guard humanity against pestllence. It would be impossible, it is said, to exaggerate the revolutionary character of the letter. 111 E EARTHQUAKE AT GIBRALTAR 4 Singular Phenomeng. Of the earthquake which was felt at Gibraltar on the. 18th of August the Gibraltar Chronicle says: 'A strange fact is reported by steamers and ships passing through tne Straits about the time of the shock. Although the wind was westerly, there was each a strong current running to the eastward that steamers which had been making eight knobs, and ships under fall sail, could make no headway whatever, the ships even, actually making stern-way. It is also said that shoale of fish of all kinds were seen leaping out of the water, and apparently in a state of great alarm. At Algeciras the shock was felt more severely than at Gibraltar. Here, in the South, the dis turbance was greater than in the town—another argument in favor of the theory that the neigh borhood of the Straits was the part most affected." The London Daily News says : "The occurrence of an earthquake at Gibraltar almost simultaneously with a renewal of the ac tion of Mount Vesuvius Is a circumstance well worthy of notice. It seems to afford strong evi dence in favor of the view that the subterranean forces, whose effects have been exhibited from time to time over the whole basin of the Mediter ranean, and for many miles from its shores, form a single earthquake district, of which Teneriffe, Vesuvius Etna, Stromboli and the Archipelagic and Syrian volcanoes are the safety valves. Doubts have often been thrown upon this view, and we notice that an eminent modem physicist distinguishes five or six distinct disturbance belts in the region we have named. But the evidences of simultaneous or of reciprocal action are suffi ciently numerous and striking to leave little room for dubiety on the subject. ' Gibraltar is not a region very frequently dis turbed by earthquako shocks, though from its situation between the noted earthquake regions of the Spanish peninsula and northern Africa one would expect to find it the scene of violent sub terranean action. The provinces of Malaga,Mur cia and Granada have been ravaged by numerous and important earthquakestand the shocks which devastated Lisbon in 1755 were among the most terrible ever recorded. Some of the earthquakes which have been experienced in Algeria and Morocco have also brought desolation on wide spread districts. Yet the country on either side of the Straits of Gibraltar has continued compari- Lively free from disturbance, though occasionally visited by shocks of considerable violence." The Accident to count Bismarck. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times atvts the particulars of the accident to Count Bismarck, of which we have only heard by tele graph. While riding on his estate of Varzine, ac companied by two friends, his horse stepped with his fore-feet into a hole,. turned a complete som ersault, and throwing the Count, fell with his whole weight upon him. Miraculously enough, be was not crushed to death, but escaped with a few bruises._ Though- speechless for a -few mo ments, and in a state of great nervous excite ment for the next twenty-four hours, he has now so far recovered the effects of his fall that he finds himself in his usual state of health. It is belled that, with his well-known strength of con stitution, the nervous disorder under which he bas been suffering of late will not be brought on again by the accident. , Whirlwlnd In Italy. On August 17th, about nine at night, an extra ordinary meteoric Whirlwind appeared between Ballengo and a lvres, in Italy. In its passage it spread desolation around, devastating houses and fields and uprooting the largest trees. Happily there is no loss of life to deplore. The road from Cascinnetta to Burolo was covered over an ex tent of 400 metres with old trees from the fields. At that spot stood a dwelling- house, the roof of which was carried off and the walls of the upper story knocked down. A carriage in the court yard was carried outside, but smashed to pieces. The phenomenon, observed by many persons, was in the form of an immense cone, of a dark gray color with a luminous base. From its upper part issued a smoke similar to that of a locomo tive. The whole was about ten metres in width, and moved at about three metres from the ground, making a sharp noise. It twisted about in various directions and advanced spirally. Robbery of the Prince de Joinvi lle. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Wiesbaden, gives the following Prince de Joinville was robbed of 7,000 E in notes and gold, some promissory notes and a let ter of credit. The C h e rproety lad been stolen from his bedchamber in Hotel of the Four Seasons during the night, the Prince having omitted to fasten his door and being asleep at the time. The Director of the Police, M. Seyfried, a most intelligent official. immediately instituted an Inquiry and learned from a bonne in the hotel that a German who lodged in the same establish ment was observed to hang about the passage the greater part of the night. He proved to be the robber and was arrested when at play at the Kursaal. Poor Carlotta. The London Lancet reports: The mental derangement of the ex-Empress Ch otte, of ao, has reassumed an acute form; is subject to attacks of furious mania; and on the uthority of her medical at, tendants the "beginning of the end" is now so near that telegrams are passing daily between Vienna and Luken, her place of confinement. Royal Matrimonial Matters. The King of Bavaria appears seriously to in tend to marry the Emperor of Russia's charming young daughter. Prince Hohenlohe has under taken to smooth the difficulties arising from the youthful Grand Duchess's persistence in the Greek faith, whereas Louis 11. is Catholic. The Duke d'Alencon, as is well known,, marries the Princess litathilde. of Bavaria, whom the Bing, to use an unpoetiC expression, jilted. Thirty-two royal personages have been invited to the Duke's wedding. GREECE. Looking out for rourragut.

His Conduct, In Court—The District attorney and Mr. Hinckley liiisagree —A Scene. Mom the New York Times of toatar.l The charge of conspiring to defraud the Gov ernment in the collection of the whisky tax, pre ferred against Commiesioners Rollins and Harlan, and ex-Uollector Thomas E. Smith, by John. M. Blackleg, Solicitor of the Internal Revenue De partment, was before Commissioner Guttman again in the United States District Court-room at 12 M yesterday.. The District-Attorney called John D. McHenry but before the witness took the stand, Mr. Binck ey arose and addressed the (Commissioner. He said he Wanted to state that there was a material difference of opinion between the District-Attor ney and himself as to the manner in which the case should be conducted, and he asked that it be adjourned till Thuraday, the 17th, so that he could communicate with the superior officers of the Government, as to the manner in which the case should be conducted. Mr. John H. White protested against any de lay in doing justice to his client, Mr. Smith. He knew nothing about the family quarrels of the conned for the prosecution. If the gentleman wanted brains to carry on this case he could find ~ ,plenty of them in this city. Mr. John Sedgwick said ho had been Instructed to appear for Commissioner Harlan, and that he should make a charge of perjury against the wit ness, McHenry. He declared that there were no grounds whatever for the prosecution, and that it was instituted for ulterior purposes. A more hybrid, mongrel, contemptible charge, without form and without substance, ho had never known in the course of his legal experience. The gen donates only object in the prosecution could be to create scandaL Mr. Sedgwick argued that although Mr. Courtney had associated Mr. Binck ley with him in the management of the case, the responsible officer in the prosecution was the District-Attorney, and it was for the latter to move an adjournment if it was in his judgment necessary. Mr. Binekley said the counsel bad been pleased to speculate with regard to his (tdr. Binckley's) connection with this case. It was a scandal in the gentleman to cast such aspersions. At the proper time lie would explain the history of the case, and the difficulties that had been thrown in his way, but would not now be betrayed into a statement of them at an improper time. He claimed that the intimation of an intention to bring a charge against a witness in the case was simply an attempt to intimidate the witness. He had decided, Instead of resigning his office, prosecute this case, and all the efforts that had been made to annoy him, could not drive him from it. District-Attorney Courtney said he had pa tiently heard all that his former associate had to say. This distinguished gentleman came on from Washington more than two weeks ago, and with out the common courtesy of informing him what he was doing, made affidavits and procured the arrest of the parties before the Court. He (the District-Attorney) had nothing to do with getting up the affidavits. He afterward waived the dis courtesy and took up the case, and he found it like drawing eye-teeth to get out of the gentleman the details of the case, and his idea of the manner of managing it: 'He found the gentleman had an idea that the . Southern District-of-New York bad Jurisdiction all over the United States. Un til the last moment he had been unable to obtain anything from the gentleman with regard to what he knew of the case. Mr. McHenry had stated to the District-Attorney that he could not honorably testify with regard to what Murray had told him, because he had promised Murray sacredly that the statements should not be made public. The gentleman knowing this had yet permitted the witness to be examined on these points. As far as he (the District-Attorney) was concerned this gentleman (Mr. Binekley ) should not open his month in this case again. Be was a mere interloper here. He had been received with courtesy in his office, and after the abuse and the insult that gentleman had heaped upon him his manhood and self-respect would not permit him to associate with him in the prosecution of this case. After the insult offered to him in his (Binckley's) own room at the Astor House, he (the District-Attorney) had addressed a telegram to the law-office of the Government at Washington, to which he had re ceived the following reply: WASHINGTON, D. C., September 8, 1868. Samuel E. Courtney, United States District-At torney: Your telegram received. The act of September 24, 1789, imposes upon you the duty of prosecuting in your district all delinquents for crimes and offences cognizable under the autho rity of the United States. The conduct of the prosecution against the parties charged in your district with conspiring with Mr. E. A. Rollins is devolved, therefore, by law on you, and this office cannot relieve you from the duty. Mr. Binekley has not been employed by the Attorney- Gem raj, nor, so far as this office is apprised, by any head of department,to assist you in this case. He participates in the prosecution, therefore, ay your sufferance. Any_ pretension that he has a right to represent the United States ex-officio as Solicitor in the Internal Revenue office seems to to me to be without warrant of precedent or law. J. HunLEY ASHTON Acting Attorney-Gener'aL The following is the Distriet-Attorney's des patch to which the above was an answer, bat which was not read at this time. UNITED STATES DISTRICT-ATTORNEY% OFFICE, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, Sept. 8,1868. —lion. J. Hubley Ashton: Personal relations with Solicitor of Internal Revenue are such that I can not act with him any longer .in the prosecution of the case of E. A. Rollins et al. You will oblige tee very much by designating some person to act in such proseentlean. My manhood and self-res pect forbid any further association with him. The case is set down for to-morrow at 12 M. - _ SAMUEL G. Uouirramr, United States District Attorney. He could not (Mr. Courtney proceeded to say) although official decapitation stood in view, as this distinguished individual had threatened, permit the gentleman to have anything to do with the case. He was ready to go on with this case, but he was not here to asperse unjustly the character of any official, where that upon which the aspersion was founded was obtained from thieves, perjurers and villains. It had turned out that some of the affidavits had been made in consideration of the paltry sum of $l5 apiece. Be was glad to inform the public that the indi viduals who had made them were in custody and would be duly brought to justice. Mr. Binekley had appeared in this case by his (the District- Attorney's) permission. He now withdrew that permission. Mr. Binekley arose to address the Commis sioner. Mr. Courtney—l object to him saying a word here. Mr. White--I object too, Mr. Binckley—You'd better object; you don't want to hear what I,have to say. The Commissioner said he wished to say a word. It would seem, he said, that on account of the differences between the two law officers of the Government, and as 'Mr. Binckley had had the affidavits drawn and was familiar with .tho evidence in this case, perhaps the case should be adjourned in, order that the, facts might be ob tained from Mr."Binckley by the District-Attor ney. In that case Mr, Smith's ,surety should be discharged and he would be held simply on Ids own recognizance. Mr. Sedgwick said that in view of the telegram from the Acting Attorney-General; it was etri ent that Mr. Bmckley was not a law, officer of the government, the term inadvertently used by POLITICAL. HINCKLEY. the Commissioner. How waa it that the gentle man had withheld from the District-Attorney what he knew of the evidence of the case ? Mr. Binckley arose to address the Court. Mr. White objected to his speak/Elgin this case. Ho was an interloper. Mr. Blnekley Intimated that he would say something that the gentleman did not want said. Mr. Mr. White—l defy You you 'll have to and all yettu t uganpg. Bindsle y— ge higher tefore you can defy me. I'm not to be frightened by you. Mr. White—A man that goes prowling around among perjurers! Mr. Binclifey said that the District-Attorney bad the names of the loin:teases, and knew where and how to get them. When the Court told him to sit down he should obey the Court with great respect, but he was not to be frightened by the conned. He submitted to the District-Attorney whether he had not all the facts--- Mr. Courtney—l submit that I shall answer no Impertinent questions from you. Mr. Bincklev again naked that the case be ad journed. Be naked the District Attorney if he had not already acknowledged him (sir. 131nek-r ley) as his superior in this case ? Mr. Courtney said he should be very sorry to acknowledge the gentleman as his superior morally, intellectually, or in-any other way. Mr. Binckley asked that his status in the case be fixed by the Commissioner. The Commissioner said that he was there only by the sufferance of the District Attorney. As the District Attorney had withdrawn his permis sion, he could not appear in the prosecution of the case. Mr. Binaley (rising)—l bow with the greatest respect to the decision of the Court. (Going to ward the door)-1.11 appear again in New York. [Laughter. I Mr. White (shouting after him)—Do And Mr. Binckley left the court-room. After some farther argument with regard to the propriety of adjourning the case, the Commis sioner said that he thought it was best, for the interest of all parties, that this case should not go on to-day. RarunuicAN Mag - rnio.—A spirited meeting of the Grant and Colfax Club of the Twenty-sixth Ward was held at Kater's Hall last evening, and its members were present in strong force. Thomas Leybnrn, Esq., ono of the officers of the club, made some very effective and telling re marks, urging the necessity of thorough and con tinuous organization for the campaign, so that the Republicans of the Ward may be enabled to do their entire duty in the coming elections. He was listened to with marked attention, and was frequently applauded. lion. Charles O'Neill was called upon and ad dressed the meeting at some length, especially commending the sound advice of Mr. Leybnrn. He urged the great importance of untiring exer tion in the cause of the country, calling upon every one present to stand by the principles of the Republican party.
