W1sHTxGToS, June l5.-Hubbard. Of
New York, made a report in part, to-
day, from the Committee appointed BY
the House 10 investigate the alleged
frauds in the New York Custom House.
The report commences by apologizing
different acts Of Congress and the Treas

regulating the taking Of bonds from
persons shipping goods from neutral
ports IN proximity to rebeldom. The
FIRST of these precautionary bonds we're
taken in September, 1861. 1882 bad

prior to May 1864 The Committee de-
velope6 the fact that these bonds have
not been required by any other collect
or than Mr. Barney. These bonds have
not proved an eEeetual stopment to
trade.
Goods covered by them have been

runners. No prosecutions have been in

eulties in making oft requisite proof and

bonds taken under Stsnton's admins

| details at length whersin the insnfieien-
ey consists, and where the responsibility
rests of preparing and taking such bonds,
and states that Of late bonds have been
prepared and taken which do not con-
form with acts authorizing them.
Tie committee devoted good deal Of
attention to the alleged abstraction si
the sale Of some Of these bonds, rumor.
of which created such stir last Fall
Their conclusions do not fix upon Young
Cady Stanton the odium, he having beer

many Of these bonds, approved BY e. B

, LEAsED.--Tho Louisville Democrat Of
Tuesday says about two o'clock yester.
day morning portion Of MorgAns force
which had struggled from the main com.
mand, entered the city Of Bardstown
without opposition. They took quiet
possession Of the place, as the citizens
generally we're so frightened that they
knew not what to do. Their frat act
upon entering the town was to break open
the Jail and release the prisoners, TWEEN
ty-three in number, among whom was
one man indicted for murder, having
killed citizen Of Nelson county for his
money. The convicts, after being re.
leased, we're armed, and the majority Of
them joined the guerrilla baud and lefl
with them. A number Of the stores were
entered and a large amount Of goods
carried Off We did not learn who had
command of the party that entered
Bardstown, but 1t is said that they num-
bered but sixteen all told The guerril-
las, we are informed, left Bardstown and
moved in the direction Of Lebanon.
