Pittsbvkg, Sept. 30.—An important
suit has been brought here in the United
States Cirouit Court against Prather &
Duncan, of Fithole City. The suit is to
enforce a contract of sale of the celebrated
Holmden farm, at Pithole Creek, on which
are located the great flowing wells of Pit-
hoi?; also, the city of Pithole. The value
of the property involved is estimated at
$4,000,000 or $5,000{000. The complain-
ants allege a written contract of sale for
$1,800,000, and Prather & Duncan refuse
to carry ont the contract.
Washington, Sept. 30.—The Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue to-day ruled that
publishers of newspapers, whose receipts
therefrom exceed $10,000 per annum,
should 1% licensed as manufacturers, and
such licence will cover all sales of these
manufacturers at or from the place of pub-
lication, aud also the printiog aud sale of
bill-heatls, circulars, etc.
Tbo receipts from Internal Revenue
to-day, foots up the amount of over $1,-
800,000.
During the past week the Treasury
Department desiroyed very near $410,-
000 worth of redeemed mutilated curren-
cy.
The United Slates District Court for the
Eastern District ot Virginia, has been
chiefly occupied during the last few doyn
with confiscation cas'8. Libels have been
duly filed ia all cases, and orders have been
made thus far for granting dismissals from
the calendar of upwards of 100 cases on
payment of cost--.
Secretary il:ir!aa, of the Interior De-
partment, is auxioubly endeavoring to in
augurute certain refonna in lfcat depart-
ment. To day be aildreesed a circular to
the several Leads of bureaus, in whioh he
enjoins upon those officials his determina-
tion to exact as much labor and attention
to the butin°ss of the Government from
every oflicer and employee in the depart-
ment as if they wert^wovking in the Secre-
tary's own interest, und paid by him out
of bis own pocket.
The pardon seekers rallied in forci at
the close of tho day, aud are reported to
be more than usually successful. The
number granted this week is probably
three limes tie amount of any precding
one, and will reach at least six or seven
hundred.
The certificates of indebtedness, reduced
during the past week, amount to $7,960,-
540, or about equal to the amount of inter-
nal revenue during the same time.

The highest financial authority in Eng-
land, in an article upr.n Dr. Elder's state-
ment of the debt and resources of the Uni-
ted Stale*, frankly admits that thedata are

known whether they were promised the
removal of Gen. Palmer or not.
The President is said to have promised
that Kentucky should be at onoe relieved

of a moderate degree of telegraph facilities
between the Southern and Northern press
of the country.

Washington, Sept. 80—Tbe President
has been very busy to-day signing pardons.
Over '2000 have been signed within Ihe
past few days. There are several thousand
requisitions upon him, which will be dis-
posed of possibly ere ihe end of another
week.
The attendance of visitors at tbe White
House to-day w&s quite small, until aft*r
uoon, when, as the hour at which the door
of the President's apartment is opened
approached, the halls rapidly filled up —
This plan has been adopted by most of the
visitors, they having learned the incon-
venience of waiting in the stilling atmos-
phere of the aate-room. There wa«, as
usual, a considerable number of female1?—
some for pardons, others for the discharge
of relatives from the military service, sutne
interceding for the exercise of clemency in
court-martial cases, and not a few begging
recommendation of appointment in the
Treasury.
A bailiff left here forCharlotte, Virginia,
to summoa'GeD. Lee to Washington, to
give his evidence in the Wirlz trial. Gen.
Jo*. Johnston, Howell Cobb, and ex-Gov.
Browo have been also summoned. Tbe
Government made no objeotions to WiiU's
request lor these witneisos, inasmuch as it
had adopted the precedent of allowing ex-
rebel offioers to testify already in his be-
half. Other leaders of the rebel Govern-
congressional canvass, when it is perfectly. >
obvious that our noble President, standing
as ho does like a great breakwater between,
tho Radicals of the N orth and our prostrate
country, needs every Southern Represent*
tive to sustain him. Were I to permit any
selfish conslderatioc s to control or influence'
me, I should despise myself, and be false to*
every honorable impulse of my nature." s
The Republic accompanies tho card witb
the remark : "The field is thus left open tea
Mr. Lewis and Mr. Sandy Stuart. Mr-
Lewis can very consistently take the con*
gressional test oath. Mr. Stuart's conscience
prevents."
The Republic also says : ,-The people o^T
Hanover county weie addressed, on Tuett—
day last, by Mr. Johnson Barbour. From*
all tho information wo receive, there Is no*
longer any doubt that Barbour will Carry!'
every county in the district."
The Lynchburg Republican says one ef
the most distinguished gentlemen of the-
State, whose name wo are not pormitted't'e
give, writes as follows in regard to the eli-
gibility of congressional candidates: "I re-
gard it as absurd, not to say criminal, in.
the people under existing circumstances, to
elect such men.
" A man who feels and knows that he is>
not eligible ought not, in these times of
trouble, to thrust himself before the people;
but if he does so, the people ought to nave-
the good sense to rebuke him."
Nkw York, Sept. '43.—The World gives
some alleged facts in reference to the Fe-
nian organization.'There are, at present,
about five hundred circles in the countryT.
aud they are increasing at tbe rate of one:
hundred per month These circles number
from 100 to 300 men. There are also 300<
female circles in tbe country, presided over
by Miss Ellen Mahony, who is Female:
Head Centre. She is also princiual of the
Normal School at Chicago. The monthly
expenses of the body amount to $60,000,
and it is said the tax of $20 a man on thtr
Fenians in tbe United States is nearly paid
up, aud the aggregate assessment will reacb
$500,000. There is iu this city a military
engineering class ot one hundred, taught
by an engineer formerly on McClellan'e
staff. Subscriptions to large amounts are
received everv week from all partB of tho
country. A bank account is kept by the
Brotherhood. One of the bank note com-
panies is printing eight per cent bonds, In
the name of the Irish Republic. They will
be ready next week. They are in denomi-
nations of 10's, 20's, 50's, 100's, 500's and
1000's- In the centre will be a figure of
Liberty drawing a sword, and at the sidea
vigne'tcs of Emmet and Lincoln. Itie
confidently hoped these will be taken up
rapidly, and large orders will come from
the couutry and West. It was stated last
evening that John Morrissey had offered to
take $100,000 of the bonds. At the Fenian
headquarters iu Duane street they are con-
tinually boxing up muskets; but of courstt
no information given where they arc te be
sent.
Washington, Sept. 29.—Dispatches re-
ceived at the State Department this inom<-
ing, from Constantinople and Barcelona,,
represent that tho cholera is greatly on tlw
decrease in those cities. The pestilence?
lias made its appearance in Italy, and the>t
greatest consternation provails in conse-
quence.
New York, Sept. 28.—An attempt wat*?
made yesterday by a young man to swindle
the 1'ark Bank, by a forged check on the'
Chemical Bank, ^iuwn to the order of f*
late clerk of the former bank. The forgery
was de'ected, but the forger escaped.
Ths Richmond Times, of Wednesday,
says no city, ulter a disastrous fire, evet
gave signs of greater enterpr se than Rich-
mond does to day- We bear the opinion
everywhere expressed that the whole ol
Main street will bo rebuilt iu less than |>-
mouths.
