THE WASHINGTON MO!
There : are thousands of people in PhiladeK
phia who remember the laying of the corner
stone of the Washington Monument in Wash
ington Square, on the 22d of February, 1833,
There .was : a procession, and there was an
oration, and there were other impressive cere
monies when that Washington Monument was
thus planted, and people talked with pleasant
anticipations of the beautiful shaft that was to
adorn the city, wliile it perpetuated the memory
of the Father of his Country. :• - v
More than a generation lias passed away.
Thirty-six years have gone, and Philadelphia
lias spread out into a great city. Its bounda
ries have grown until they comprise the area
of a whole county. > Its population has grown
until it is fast approaching a million of living
souls.'. Its buildings have grown until they
largely outnumber the largest city on this. Co
ntinent. Its enterprise, its wealth, its industries,
its charities, its institutions of learning and
science and art have all. grown, until Philadel
phia has become great in all these regards. But
its Washington Monument has not grown. It
was planted in good soil. It was entrusted to
a careful and safe guardianship. But the cor
ner-stone, laid thirty-six years, sleeps like the
grains of wheat in the closed hand of the
Egyptian mummy, the promise of a future
growth unfulfilled.
We have one specimen of a Washington
monument that began to grow too soou. The
huge unfinished shaft at Washington stands,
untouched for years past, a perpetual discredit
to the American' people; a speaking sign of
national neglect and ingratitude. And there it
is likeiy to stand, until Congress in some spasm
of patriotic liberality shall order its completion.
Its corner-stone was laid twenty-one years <igo,.
but the monument is yet in its minority. Fif
teen years had been spent in collecting funds
before the corner-stone was laid; but the cost
had not been well counted, and at less than
one-third of its designed height, the work was
suspended, and for nearly ten years nothing
has been done for its completion.
But if the monument at Washington began
to grow too soon, or was projected on a too
colossal scale, our Washington ■ Monument
cannot be charged with the same fault. The
little fund which was collected forty yearn ago,
amounting to less than seven thousand dollars,
has been carefully nursed by the Trustees of
the Society of the Cincinnati, until, by patience
and good management, it has grown to more
than ten times its original value, and is now re
ported at $75,000. The investment, if It has
not yet built a monument to Washington, has
at least raised one to the wisdom and fidelity of
the excellent gentlemen to whom it was so f'oi’-
tunately committed.
—This fund is a private one, and is held in
private hands. The Society of the Cincinnati
has the entire control of it, for the purpose for
which it was contributed. But the Washing
ton monument, to build which it was contrib
uted, is not intended, to he a private monument;
it is for the public, for the whole people of
Philadelphia. And there is a renewed desire
in the public mind, inspired by the recent erec
■ tion of the statue at Independence Hall, 'to
have the monument, for which they have
waited so long, commenced. A few days ago,
while three gentlemen were admiring Bailly’s
fine statue, one of them remarked that agreat
many years ago, when he was much poorer
than at present, he had given a flve-dollar gold
piece to build a monument to Washington.
He supposed the money had been spent by
somebody, long ago, but he would gladly give
five times that amount now, if he could see a
proper monument built in Philadelphia. He
was overheard by a citizen who was able to tell
Slim that his money had been well invested
and not spent; but| the little incident went
to show the common feeling of the
public mind, and we, therefore, most respect-
fully press upon the trustees of the fund the
suggestion that they make a beginning of their
work. With the ill-fated example of the
monument of Washington before us, we do
not desire to see this fund wasted upon some
huge, unattainable design; but no one can
reasonably doubt, that with $70,000 hi hand,
well invested, the Society of the Cincinnati
would only be fulfilling, its original trust, if it
would commence active operations for the
■erection of the monuiVient. The generation
whose contributions lkid the foundation of the
■present fond has passed away, and one-fourth
■of rthe second generation is already gone. But
the zeal of, the people to preserve the memory
■of Washington has not abated, while their abil
ity;!© pay their tribute of gratitude has lately
increased. We honor the growing impatience
i©',see this,monument begun and finished.. It
is,a goodsiguof the healthy tone of the publie
mind, and there seems to be no good reason
why it ifiiould not be gratified.
The Cincinnati fund has reached a point
when its accumulations have beoome very
rapid, and in the next four years it will have
reached-the neighborhood of $lOO,OOO, even if
no additions from without are made to it. But
let the people only be assured that the work is
begun, and that it is to be speedily prosecuted
and completed, and whatever deficiency there
is in the fund wHI be supplied.
There is another practical consideration
which should have weight with., the managers
of this fund. There is every probability that
a more satisfactoiy and creditable monument
will be erected with $lOO,OOO than with $200,-
000. : With the ■ larger sum, some huge, over
grown design?"wouldr fn“ Idl' be
.affeMßa-either occupy many years
tiß.iti; jCohstriUctionz or 'would he. completed oiily). ,
to mark an era of grotesque extravagance, and?,
baffiljd&e. It may be presumed tliat whehetei'i:'.
the work is done) it will be committed to
American ‘urtlsts: and workmen,,
there are, on some accounts, better chances for
-artisHb success; if the scale of the design is kept
.within comparatively, moderate boiinds. The
enormous design of .the;: monument at Wash
ington has proved fatal. '' Its shaft 'of 600 feet
in height; its colonnade of ‘thirty columns,
forty-five feet high ; its colossal statue of Wash
ington, 'thirty feet liigli, in a chariot with six
horses; its elaborate statues and basso-relievos
and other ornaments; were' too much for the
ideas of a young nation, and even if Congress
shall ever finish the work,, there can be no
doubt that it will be done with essential modi
fications of the huge original design of Mills.
, This subject of the erection; of our long-de
layed Washington Monument is so constantly
recurring to the popular mind, , that we submit
.to the trustees :of the fund the propriety of
making some official statement to the public
upon the subject. It can certainly, do no harm
•either to the Society or to the fund, to inform
the people what the prospect is of carrying out
the design of those whose money was con
tributed for this purpose, nearly forty years ago.
Let us get the monument started. In the elo
quent words of Mr. Wmthrop, laying the cor
ner-stone of the monument at Washington:
“Proceed, then, fellow-citizens, with the work,
Build it to the skies: yon cannot outreach the
loftiness of his principles! Found it upon the
massive and eternal rock: you cannot make it
more enduring than his fame! Construct it
of the peerless Parian marble: you cannot
make it purer than his life! Exhaust upon it
the rides and principles of ancient and'modem
•'art: you cannot make it more' proportionate
than his character!”
MBLIC RETRENCHMENT.
The promises of Governmental retrench
ment and reform with which the Grant Admin
istration TflHt. into office are being fulfilled
with a righrous faithfulness. Such promises
are often and easily made' by all parties; they
are invariable planks in all political plat
forms ; hut they ordinarily belong to that order
of promises which, like pie-crust, are made to
be broken. Incoming administrations of all
grades, from the National Government down
to the village burgess, make spasmodic efforts
at retrenchment and reform; but the work is
ordinarily too lia/'d, and the temptations con
trariwise are too pressing, and the honest
meaning official, —if he really happens to be
honest-meaning,—falls away irom liis high in
tentions, and all things continue as they were
from the beginning.
But there is a vigorous reality about the re
trenchments and reforms of President Grant’s
administration which promises far better things
for the country. There is a sturdy, inflexible
purpose, infused already by the Executive into
every department of the government, which is
carrying on its purifying work with a diligent
.thoroughness that is producing’ great results.
Millions of dollars have already been taken
from the public debt. A steady and continual
reduction of the public expenses is running
parallel with the steady increase of the public
revenues. The leaks of the national reservoir
are being stopped, and, at the same time, the
supplies are being increased. And this is not
merely the sweeping of new brooms; it is not
merely a show of the fulfilment of a solemn
premise. It is the settled principle and policy
of'the government, and it is as wise as a policy
as it is honest and patriotic as a principle,
One of the most difficult departments of this
work of retrenchment is in the reduction of
the clerical forces of the various departments.,
During the war there was necessarily l a very
large increase of force in all hranclies of the
• civil as well as tlie military service,and although
there were some reductions after the war,
President Grant found a large excess of clerks,
male and female, still engaged, beyond the re
quirements of the public service. To reduce
this number has involvedjmuch necessary hard
ship. Men and women, many of them with
families to support, and many of them un
exceptionable in the discharge of their duties,
have been found to he unnecessary for the
public service, and yet it has been very hard to
dismiss them. Personal appeals, often of
a very touching character; the political pressure
of friends, often of the most importunate and
persevering nature, are brought to bear upon
the heads of departments, in behalf of very
deserving men and women, and it is almost
impossible to realize the difficulty under which
a kindly-disposed officer is placed, when called
upon to meet and resist such appeals and such
pressure. Tliat it has been done, and that
the retrenchment has gone on in the face
of the most stubborn resistance, is one of
the best proofs of the honesty of the Admin
istration.
In carrying out this reduction of the civil
service, there lias been a great point gained in
efficiency as well as economy. The tares have
been very thoroughly separated from the wheat
ia' thlS' : sifting of the departments, and it will
undoubtedly result in the establishment of a
higher standard of efficiency and integrity than
has ever yet been attained. The number from
whom to choose has been so large, and the
claims of each individual have been so strongly
pressed, that it may fairly ’ be assumed that
those who have been retained in the several
departments comprise all the best elements of
honesty, efficiency and respectability.
BROAD AND KABBOW GAUGE.
An extraordinary railroad exploit was per
formed in Missouri on Sunday last. The
whole track of the Missouri Pacific Railroad,
three hundred and eight miles .long, was
changed from the broad gauge to the narrow
gauge, in the short space of sixteen hours.
Tliirteen hundred and ,fifty men were employed
to do this tremendous -job. A complete stock
■of forty-six new locomotives and three hun
dred and fifty cars, suited to the new gauge,
was in readiness, and the business of the road
went on on Monday as if nothing had hap
pened, There has been nothing to surpass
the ; speed , with winch this undertaking was
acdoniplisiied, in all the railroad history of the
country.
The broad gauge of five feet six inches was
adopted when the Missouri Pacific Railroad
was constructed, a few years ago, under the
influehoe of certain Mew York railroad, men.
For some time it has been found to be incon
venient, more especially as the cars from tjie
fond could hot run on the' Illinois railroads;
EVENING jBtiLLEmN^PHILA!
THE DAILY :
which were of the narrow guage, like those of
Pennsylvania. The new, gauge, adopted on
•Suiidaylast, is four feet nine inches; and now
the cars of the Pennsylvania ,• Bailroad Can -he.
run all the way to Leavenworth,in Kansas, and
also can be,run overthevariousbranch roads, ■
which'are to'be reduced in gauge as rapidly as
possible. , .'• .i '. .. <?
, The New York and Erie Bailroad’ was, we
believe, the.first important road on ,’which the
broad'gauge ; 'wis uiSed.' It lias proved to be the 1
most costly road to construct, 'stnA keep in ort .
der in the whole United States. The repeated
destructive accidents upon it are-, an ; all-suffi
cient argument against the broad gauge, inde
pendent of the ordinary expense of maintain
ing the road. Many sliortroads in tl:e West
have had their gauge narrowed of late years,
but nothing has ever been done pn so grand a
scale as this of the Missouri Pacific Bailroad.
The time will come when every road in the
• United States will have to conform to the new
gauge. Many have done this partially by lay
ing a third rail, so that cars of either gauge caff
be used upon their tracks.' But eventually
they willall have but two mils of - the -narrow
gauge: f ; ’' -'' . ,
A tea-i*oT tempest.
The Keform Club of London has had a
ively little excitement on the subject of an
American now in that capital. Mr. G, W.
Smalley, correspondent of the New York Tri
bune, had been j proposed for election 'to the
club for a brief period, and was , black balled.
Thereupon Mr. John Bright denounced the
committee on the subject and demanded a re
versal of their decision. This was refused,
audit is said that Mi - . Bright and some of liis
friends sent in ; their. resignations, but that they:
were afterwards induced to withdraw them.
There-is, howeyeiy a ; very bad feeling in the
club. Tlie Tall Mall Gazette of July sth says:
“A general meeting of the Keform Club has
been called for the , 22d inst., with a view, we
understand,'to revision'of the 'system of elec
tion. Of course if any- difficulty or incon
venience is experienced irt carrying out the
present rules, there can be no reason why the
members should not alter them in any way
they please. As some of our contemporaries
seem, however, to be studiously busy m their
misrepresentations on the- subject, we may be
permitted to remark that there: is the widest
difference between making new rules and de
nouncing a committee - for carrying out the
rules it was expressly appointed to enforce.
The self-respect and dignity of the club are
clearly concerned in upholding the inde
pendence of its own delegates. Either
there is a constituted authority, or
there is not. If there is, it ought to be
supported. The proper course for Mr. Bright
to nave taken if he deemed the authority of
the committee excessive, or any of its rules
improper, was to lay before the club a motion
to that effect. Personal arrogance could hardly
be carried further than in a demand that the
committee should reverse a decision winch it
had given in strict accordance with the duty
imposed on it by the other members.. Apart
from any personal objections to the American
candidate for temporary membership, it seems
to be undoubted that he was distinctly dis
qualified for admission through hifj settled
residence in this country. One of the propo
sals to be submitted to the approaching meet
ing is, we understand, that open shall be sub
stituted fofsecret voting, and the ballot of the
committee abolished.- It will be interesting to
see how the reformers will vote on;the,ballot
when brought home to themselves.”
' To reform tlie Keform Club would seem to
be a task of supererogation, like painting the
lily, &c. But if an American should be the
means, directly or indirectly, of inducing such
reform, it may be inferred that liberal ideas
are advancing in Great Britain, and- that
therefore the British Constitution is in danger.
Looking over the list of county school su
perintendents in Pennsylvania, published in
yesterday’s Bulletin, the reader must have
been struck with the absence of Philadelphia
in the list. Every other county in the State
has its superintendent of schools, and in addi
tion, there are superintendents for the cities
and boroughs of Allentown, Altoona, Clie ster,
Easton, Erie, Harrisburg, Meadville, Pitts
burgh, Pottsville, Scranton and Williamsport.
The salaries of these officers range from $5OO
up to $2,500 a year, Pittsburgh giving the latter
sum, while Allegheny county gives $2,000 be
sides. It it is an anomaly that this vast city of
Philadelphia should have no one superintend
ing officer for her numerous public schools.
Such an officer, properly chosen, would be well
worth a handsome salary.
A jury composed of six white and six
colored men has sat in Washington city on the
trial of a colored woman charged with mur
der. It is the first criminal case in the Dis
trict Of Columbia before such a mixed jury.
No difficulty of any kind seems to have oc
curred, and in the short space of two minutes
a verdict of “not guilty” was agreed upon.
The experiment of jury trial before negroes
having been thus successfully tried, and that
of negroes as Congressmen and members of
the Legislature being about to be tried by
Virginia, it may safely be said that the world
moves. But the Packer Democracy of Penn
sylvania have pledged themselves to stop it at
the next election.
THE FINE ARTS.
—The solid and well-earned reputation of
Thomas Hill as a painter of American scenery
does not rest alone upon his grand panoramar
picture of the Yo-Semite Valley, which made
such a sensation in Messrs. Earles’ last exhibi
tion; his small paintings reveal the Bame con
science, the same instinct of picturesque selec
tion and arrangement, and the same clear,
limpid style of painting. A moderately-sized
example now at Earle’s Galleries is nearly as
beautiful as the great work alluded to; it is
another reminiscence of the lovely California
stretch of the Russian River,
with mountainous hanks rising on each side of
the narrow plain it waters; these steep sides
are leveled off at the.top in the plateau-form
so characteristic of the region, except in the
case of one distant peak, which comes in
apropos to give an apex to the composition. A
troop of does have sought "the water, under
the protection of a brave buck, but otherwise
the scene is a solitude—a Paradise waiting for
its Adam. The tone of the shadowed portion
at the right, and the quality of the basking
light, are much to the artist’s credit.
A new sea-heach scene by Wm. T. Richards,
one of his mathematical analyses of wave
curves, likewise adds to the attractions of tho
Gallery. .
—Haseltine contemplates some attractive
changes in the decoration of his fine rooms-at
1125 Chestnut street. Belonging to an ar
tistic family, and naturally possessed of it good
measure of tho painter’s faculty, it is impossi
ble for him to occupy an establishment with"
out seeking to make a palace of it, or to ne
glect his present opportunity of developing,
large and well-proportioned spaces into
did and pictorial effects. The frescoes with

Redaction of the National Debt.
I Special De«patch to tiiePhiladelphlaEvcningßallctin.]
Washington, July 21.—The public debt
statement for the present month will show a
gratifying reduction in the total amount of
debt. * The receipts from customs and internal
revenue will, in the- aggregate, amount to
from thirty-eight millions to forty millions,
and the debt will be diminished about ton mil
lions of dollars. It iff expected by the Trea
sury officials that the exhibit for August will
likewise show a further reduction of the debt,
while the statement for September will most
probably increase the amount of debt to the
extent of a few millions, on account of the
heavy falling in receipts and the anticipated
large disbursements to meet the;expenses oi
War and Navy Departments.
The Columbia Charity Ball.
1 Special Despatch to thePhlla, Evening Bulletin.l
Cape May, July 21.— The statement in yes
terday’s Bulletin that the proceeds o t the hall
at Congress Hall amounted to Sl,ooo,and were
given to the Children's Hospital, is quite in
correct. No portion of the proceeds was given
in charity. Whatever remained over and
above expenses went into the Regimental
Fund of the Gray Reserves.
Mr. Bolton, of the Columbia House. is there
fore entitled to the credit of originating the
idea of a ball for the Children’s Hospital, and

It is hoped here that Ids good example, which
has added so much to the popularity of himself
and his bouse, will be followed by the Stock
ton, Congress, and other houses.

Wednesday, July 21*1869.—1t is difficult to-<lay for
borroworß to obtain needful funds at tlie bank counters,
though, if inquiry is wade at the banks by one who is
not a borrower, they will report money easy. It is tho
some with brokers; It is their business to deal in money,
and It Is therefore their interest to put tlieir own color
upon the face of the market; but call on the bauks and
represent your wants and you will soon find out that
money 1b scarce and very dear. It will bo generally con
ceded that the banks are not very extortionate in their
charges for accommodation under the circumstances, 7
percent, being the average on call, but as most of tho
bank funds are loaned to note borrowers, and afterward
resold at 10and 12per cent., the rates are high enough in
all conscience. This should not be, but it is, neverthe
less, and there is no other remedy for the needy but to
submit to it.
Gold opened at 135,501 d down to 131?£, and is quoted
at noon at 135.

Slate . Superintendent*!* Convention-.-
Morning Session.
(Special Despatch to the Phils. Evening Bulletin.]
Habbisiivko, July 21.— The question of ex
amlnatiou was discussed aud postponed until
tho report of the Committee on Resolutions
was made.
The question of resolutions was debated at
Jcngth, and various items in personal experi
ence were recounted.
Governor Geary was waited upon by a
committee, and introduced by Superintendent
Wickersham. The Governor said:
‘‘.Gentlemen of the Convention: ‘ I feel in
deedwenr highly complimented in having the
permission and privilege to meet with yon for
a few minutes this morning, and to extend to
yon a most hearty welcome to the capital of
Pennsylvania. When I consider the business '
in which you, and I may say we, are all en
gaged, I ieel that this is an auspicious meeting
in the State of Pennsylvania. lam glad that
this kind of meeting has been instituted, in
order that there may be more unity of action
in this Commonwealth in the cause of educa
tion. When X think of the object Which is;
before tis all as citizens of this
State—the ltigh duty devolring upon all
of us—l feel that we all have reason to look to
a higher power for aid iu the noble Work in
which we are engaged, and I trust that power
will not desert us in preparing tho minds of
our youths for a better enjoyment of our lib
erties. X regard you all as members of a grand
army. You, Mr. State Superintendent, as a
great general; these as your staff’officers; the
seventeen thousand teachers of the State your
line officers, and the grand army itt the great
contest between Intelligence and Ignorance,
Vice and Immorality, are the children of tho
State, numbering more than eight hundred
thousand. [Applause.] If this army is handled
as it can and should be, I anticipate; the most
beneficial results in the cause op education. I
feel that this meeting is one of intellect coming
into contact with intellect, by which all
should be encouraged and invigorated, for the
contest, and that through such meetings,
victory must perch upon our banners eventu
ally. But we in this generation cannot hope
to close the contest r
“Perhaps, to the last day of the world, the
contest between intelligence and ignorance,
vice aiid immorality, will continue; but Jet us
go on for the benefit of the children, who are
the property of the Commonwealth. ■ Educa
tion should not alone be intellectual; it
shonld also be physical. Will our work
amount to anything if we fill the mind
with information without cultivating the
muscle to put it into force? I see around me
in everyday life, men of muscular strength,
tall, straight and brawny. If intellectual
men had such bodies what an advantage
it would be! Do hot, then, forget
the physical culture ofthe school children. It
is incumbent upon us to make a vigorous,
hardy, strong race of men. [Applause.] We
should |huila upon a physical foundation as
well' as.upon an educational one. The ques
tion may arise—How are we to accomplish
this? I reply, give your seholars daily mili
tary drill and other kinds of exercise, and
you will make them much better men.
“Ihaveaword of kindness for you thismorn
ing. I have been a teacher in my life; I know
how meanly they are paid, and how hard they
are fagged. Let ns elevate the whole system,
pay our teachers better, and thus obtain the
highest order of talent. [Applause.] Give us
the best men yon can, and make the position
of teacher one of the most honored in the
State, I took occasion to refer to this subject in
my last annnal message to the Legislature. If
teachers were paid better wages, better care
would be taken of our children. I feel tjiat- a
S'e so prosperous can afford to nay their
era well. tVe have done a noTtle work
in the education and maintainance of the
soldiers’ orphans. We all appreciate this great
cause. [Applause.]. This work will he car
ried out faithfully, but in five or six years,
at most, the greater portion of that work will
have beep performed. I feel, then, that we
can appropriate a. million more dollars
to your object. If we should lose all else, we
have in our country, and still have, an edu
cated people. We will have a wall around
our liberties, and on our ramparts we may say,
‘Victory! Victory!.’ With our flag naned to
the mast, let us tell] the whole world that with
an educated people we can face any storm.
Let us nail the banner of education, whichjts
synonymous with our flag, to our masthead,'
and the ship of State will never go down.
Let us have no cause to blush for any action
of ours in connection with the great and ever
lasting cause of education.” [Cheers.]
Tlie thanksofthe Convention were tendered
to the Governor.
Tlie Governor then gave a reception during
a recess of ten minutes, and the Superinten
dents were individually introduced.
The Convention adjourned till 2 o’clock.

LATER FROM WASHINGTON
THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION
THE PENT MOVEMENT A FAILURE
A Decision by Sec. Boutwell
From Washington.
{ Special Dcroatch to thcJPJbHoda. Evonlne Bullotln.]
THE MISSISSIPPI EJECTION.
. Washington, July 21.—Additionalinforma
tion received lrom Mississippi this afternoon
is to the effect that tlie; movement to nominate
Judge Dent as a conservative Republican can
didate for Governor is likely to fail from want
of support from the members of the Republi
can party. Thus far only eleven Republicans
ol even local prominence have indicated
their intention to support l it, and
they make it conditional upon the ticket
receiving the approval of President Grant and
his Cabinet. As this is not likely to be the
case, the movement will, in all probability,
result in complete failure, or join hands with
the Democracy.
THE WEATHER IN WASHINGTON".
The weather continues cool but pleasant.
I CorreßDOndonco of the Associated Press.l
Washington, July 21.—The following de
cisions have recently been made by Secretary
Boutwell: , .:
Treasury Department, July 14,1869.
deathmen: lam in receipt of your letter of the
23d ult., complaining of the action of the Col
lector of Cnstoms|at New York, in assessing
a duty of 45 per cent, ad valorem in six cases
of stamped brass goods, imported by you per
steamer Bremen In May last. The duty in
question, it appears, was assessed under the
act of February; 24,1869, which provides, that
all manufactures of copper, or of which cop
per shall be a component of chief value,other
wise provided for, shall be subject to a duty of
45 per cent, ml valorem. And the Collector
having decided that in all articles made Of the
composition usually known as brass-copper is
the component of chief value, the goods im
ported by you were subject to duty under said
act. I have reason for believing that the posi
tion taken'by the Collector is correct in re
gard to the materials of which brass is
composed, and as the law in ques
tion includes all articles of which
copper is the component of chief value, his
action in assessing Said duty was correct. The
fact that brass and ■ many other articles of
which copper forms the principal part have
other distinctive names, and are never known
as manufactures of copper in the commercial
world, cannot be deemed to ailect the ques
tion under the very comprehensive language
of the act referred to.
I am very respectfully,
' George S. Boutweeu,
Secretary of the Treasury.
To Messrs. Fisher & Kitterhaus, New York.
Treasury Department, July 19.-- -Sir:
Your letter of the 9th ult. is. received, submit
ting the appeal—s6,69l—of Messrs.. Julius
Echoman & Co. from your decision assessing
duty at the rate of 45 per cent., ad valorem , On
certain duty metal and bronze powders im
ported into your port per “Main,” June Ist
last, as manufacturers of which copper is the
component of chief value, under the act of
February 24,1869. From yOur report it ap
pears that the appraiser returned the Dutch
metals as copper, chief value 45 per
cent., and the bronze powders as
manufactured from a species' of brass known
as Dutch metal, 20 per cent., andjthat deeming
the return of the latter erroneous, you assessed
duty thereon at 45 per cent. The Appraiser,
in his report, states that in his opinion copper
is not the component of chief value in articles
made from Dutch metal,basing this opinion on
the assertion that a new metal is formed by
the union of copper and tin in the Dutch, al
though, at the same time, he reports Dutch
metal as a manufacture of which copper
is the .■ component of chief value, : thus
restricting the operation of the law to
articles manufactured in whole or in part of
the metal copper, and alloys composed in part
of that metal, while articles manufactured of
such alloys, even where copper is the com
ponent of chief value, would be liable to duty
under previous acts. The language of the act
of February 24, 1869; is very comprehensive,
and, in the opinion of this department, em
braces every manufacture of which copper
is the component of chief value, whether the
copper . be the •: simple metal or in
the form of an alloy or combination, chemical
or otherwise, with any other article or arti
cles. Itis the duty of the appraiser to deter
mine the facts in each case. This decision is
confirmatory of the Department’s decision of
the 14th inst. Your decision is hereby con-,
firmed. : Very respectfully,
George S. Boutwedd,
Secretary of the Treasury.
