rantied to them by the present tariff
The matter has recently been brought TO the no.
tee OF the Secretary Of the Treasury, by sugar
grower IN the State of Louisiana, who, in COM
mon with a number of others in that State, has
suffered UNNECESSARILY from the fraud This gen.
tleman proceeded TO Cuba for the purpose of test
ing the truth Of several statements that appeared
in the New Orleans papers on the subject, by per-
sonal examination; and has lately returned, armed
with number of facts and data, that win con-
vince the most sceptical of the immense loss our
re,snue sustains in this way.
Since his return he has communicated the facts
10 the Secretary of the Treasury and that gentle
man very properly ordered an investigation to be
made at this port, the material to be analyzed and
such other steps taken as would appear right and
proper.
The examination is now going on, and we trust
that the orders of the Secretary Of the Treasury
will be fully carried out, and reform made in
case the result should justify it. The government
owes it to themselves and the country, TO do what
is right in this business, and we hope there will
be no tagging. We will refer again to this SUBJ
lect
The Prosecutions OF Tcmpleton the Vocalist.
We thought we had finished with the Tenn
pleton war, and said the last word on that subject;
but, it seems, that the prosecutors of Temple.on
wish to prosecute those who are DESTROYS to set
the public right on this impudent and rdcu-
lous attempt to put down worthy artist, for the
worst and most unworthy purposes.
The publication of the famous bill of particu-
l,r IL IL,
ker, against Templeton, in the process of levying
black mail, created such a sensation throughout
the city, that Templeton's prosecutors were para
lyzed, and struck dumb for week. They plucked
up courage towards Saturday, when an article ap-
Peared in the Express, substantially admitting all the
bill of partculars, and simply denying that the Err
press was one ofthe papers in that famous account.
Now this is the most palpabe falsehood that was
ever uttered by the Express Any one by calling up
on Mr.. Galbraith, Templeton's lawyer, can exam
inc the original bill, and that that paper j. in
cluded. Better than this, by the way, we have
received from Earle and Taylor, the lawyers Of
Chrehugh the wig maker, the following curious
letter, proper appendix to the bill of particulars
after having cogtated over the matter for a
week =

While admitting the general features of that
extraordinary bill of black mail, these learned
gentlemen take two or three small exceptions to
some of the points commented upon by us, in
pretty much the same way a citizen of Athens
carried brick in his pocket, by way of a speci-
men Of the temple Of Parthenon. These learned
lawyers first declare that the bill of particulars
was not filed in the Superior Court. We acknow-
ledge this corn. The bill was not filed, but it
ought to have been filed, and an ac-
surate and accomplished legal gentleman
would have had it filed at the time.
1t was their duty to their client to file it, and in
surprising that it was fled, we gave them more
credit for accuracy than it seems they deserve.
So much on that point. The next exception is,
that the original bill was not added up. We ac-
knowledge this corn also. If the arithmetical
qualifications of these learned lawyers were une-
quail to the extraordinary mental effort required
for adding up three or four lines Of Arabic figures
in the bill, we think they ought to have gone to
school and learned how to add before they at
tempted to take the wig maker client. We
added their bill up gratis, for we are profound
arithmeticians, and know how to add up four or
five sums, as well as to give advice to learned
lawyers in New York. This exception, partly
legal, and partly arithmetcal, we also admit.
The third and last exception is, that Tempeton
was not held to bail. We acknowledge this corn
also. Templeton was not held to bail, for neither
the profound lawyers of the wig maker, nor all
the bailiffs they engaged, could catch him. They
followed his trail for many days, like blind hounds
