Tho whole scheme, we doubt not, was a
concoction Of Botefur, the collector Of Gus.
toms for this port, who receives 5000 per
year for doing nothing but figure for the
benefit of the plunderders. and for himself
individually, and as We will further show he
has been rewarded by the administration
for his hcrculean efforts in doing subterra-
mean work.

flee, there was probably fare up--a kick
