Tke Mode of Purchasing Silver Bullion—Our Navy Abroad and at Home—Appointment of Revenue Officers, etc. Washington, October 17.—An order has been issued from the Treasury Department providing and establishing a mode of purchas-ing silver bullion hereafter. It has been found by experience that the London quotations are not safe guides to go by, as the transactions in silver bullion there are less than in New Fork, and the quotations are frequently in-fluenced by speculative and not by genuine transactions. The mode requires bids on Wednesday of each week for delivering at Philadelphia or San Francisco, as proposed by the bid, the nrice of lots under ten thou-sand ounces, which will be fixed by a rule de-pendent upon the market value ascertained by bibs. Commodore Schufeldt will leave this conn-try, on the Ciconderago, on the 1st of Decern-her. The object of this commission is to open new ports of commerce between Africa and this country. The secretary of the navy will have a conference with the secretary of state, and they will agree upon a plan by which the commerce of this conntry will lie advanced in ports of the world where the national flag has uever been seen. In this connection a successor to Commodoro Scliu-feldt will be appointed. Notice has’been given and will be considered about the wintering of our naval vessels iu foreign stations, as eight or nine more, besides those already out, are preparing to be sent abroad. The navy has now about fifty vessels iu seaw'ortliy condition. S. A. Abernathy, Austin Greener and John M Hannan are appointed revenue guagers for the 5th district of North Carolina. News has been received of the death, by fe-ver, of Lieut. Bonner, commanding the relief boat John M. Chambers, who died at Vicks-burg this morning. MISCELLANEOUS. Resigns and Confesses.

Wife Murderer Sentenced. Suffolk, Va., October 17.—The trial of J. W. B. Atkenson, charged with the murder of his wife, W’as concluded yesterday and found guilty of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to^the penitentiary for five years. Heavy Rain Storm. Memphis, October 17.—A heavy storm of wind and rain visited Memphis last night and continued with fury until three o'clock this morning. The weather is now clear and cold. The thermometer indicates 65. A Card. New York, October 17.—Samuel J. Tilden publishes a eard in which, referring to the re-cent cipher telegram publications, says he has no knowledge of the existence of these telegrams nor any information about them, except what has been derived since their pub-lication. Referring to the alleged attempts to negotiate for electoral votes in Florida and South Carelina. he denies* all know ledge of the existence or purport of any telegram relating to the subject. He cites as evidence, that any action on his part looking to a bargain of any kind would have been inconsistent with his plans. The fact that he had in view a system of reform, which he could not have carried out unless he was untrammeled by any com-mitment in the choice of men to execute the official trust of the government and free from any obligations to special interests, I w as re-solved to go into the presidential chair in full command of my resources, or not at all.

Chicago, October 17.—A meeting of maim-factures, merchants and citizens was held at the Grand Pacific hotel last evening to listen to an address by Gen. Cyrus Bussey, presi-dent of the New' Orleans Chamber of Com-merce, upon the subject of promoting Ameri-can commerce. Judge Booth, Hon. JohnC. Dore and Hon. Chas. S. Fasten made some re-marks. Resolutions were adopted favoring such a transcontinental cheap rate railway transportation as will develop our trade with China, India, Japan and Australia. Such cheap rates can only be obtained by breaking down the present railroad monopolies to the Pacific coast and the completion of the North-ern and Texas Pacific railroad. The resolu-tions further recommend the speedy action by Congress looking to that end, to provide for a committee of seven to give force to these pur-poses, and favor the holding of an interna-tional commercial convention here soon to consider our North and South American trade, and favor the extension of steamship lines with foreign countries by means of subsidies and mail contracts, and called for a genera* extension of w'ater traffic by congressional legislation.

Tke Mode of Purchasing Silver Bullion—Our Navy Abroad and at Home—Appointment of Revenue Officers, etc. Washington, October 17.—An order has been issued from the Treasury Department providing and establishing a mode of purchas-ing silver bullion hereafter. It has been found by experience that the London quotations are not safe guides to go by, as the transactions in silver bullion there are less than in New Fork, and the quotations are frequently in-fluenced by speculative and not by genuine transactions. The mode requires bids on Wednesday of each week for delivering at Philadelphia or San Francisco, as proposed by the bid, the nrice of lots under ten thou-sand ounces, which will be fixed by a rule de-pendent upon the market value ascertained by bibs. Commodore Schufeldt will leave this conn-try, on the Ciconderago, on the 1st of Decern-her. The object of this commission is to open new ports of commerce between Africa and this country. The secretary of the navy will have a conference with the secretary of state, and they will agree upon a plan by which the commerce of this conntry will lie advanced in ports of the world where the national flag has uever been seen. In this connection a successor to Commodoro Scliu-feldt will be appointed. Notice has’been given and will be considered about the wintering of our naval vessels iu foreign stations, as eight or nine more, besides those already out, are preparing to be sent abroad. The navy has now about fifty vessels iu seaw'ortliy condition. S. A. Abernathy, Austin Greener and John M Hannan are appointed revenue guagers for the 5th district of North Carolina. News has been received of the death, by fe-ver, of Lieut. Bonner, commanding the relief boat John M. Chambers, who died at Vicks-burg this morning. MISCELLANEOUS. Resigns and Confesses.

Tilden publishes a eard in which, referring to the re-cent cipher telegram publications, says he has no knowledge of the existence of these telegrams nor any information about them, except what has been derived since their pub-lication. Referring to the alleged attempts to negotiate for electoral votes in Florida and South Carelina. he denies* all know ledge of the existence or purport of any telegram relating to the subject. He cites as evidence, that any action on his part looking to a bargain of any kind would have been inconsistent with his plans. The fact that he had in view a system of reform, which he could not have carried out unless he was untrammeled by any com-mitment in the choice of men to execute the official trust of the government and free from any obligations to special interests, I w as re-solved to go into the presidential chair in full command of my resources, or not at all.

Resolutions were adopted favoring such a transcontinental cheap rate railway transportation as will develop our trade with China, India, Japan and Australia.
