A NOVEL B1LL.-A bill is being prepared to
provide for the purchase and working of all the
distilleries in the country by the Government
1t is said that twenty millions of dollars will pay
for all the property now used in the lawful
manufacture of ardent spirits. Two years ago
there were one hundred million gallons Of
whiskey made and consumed, the annual tax
on which, if all paid to the Government, would
be two hundred millions of dollars, whereas
there is now received less than twenty millions
from the whole. The South is filed with
Illicit stills, an enormous quantity of liquor is
being made, and good brands put upon it, and
then it is sent North for sale. The tax upon
this reputed good liquor, if properly collected,
would be nearly enough to pay the interest on
the national debt Wash. Cor. Iti1odelph1a

INTERESTING LEGAL QUEsT1oN.-Judge
Meredith has just decided a case of much in
erest to many fduciaries in Virginia, and for
their benefit we publish the following correct
abstract of the facts and the decision on them.
The case was this:
An administrator qualified in December,
1864 The personal property, consisting Of
household aud kitchen furniture, was sold in
order to pay funeral expenses, Doctors bills,
&c. The sale took place in December, 1864,
and the property brought most extraVagant
price in Confederate money, to wit: SIG, 6,693.-
&c. The administrator paid Oft all the debts
none being since preseuted), and there was
left in his hands the sum of Sl22S4.29 on the
lst of April, 1865 He filed a bill in Judge
NIeredith's Court asking low this balance
should be liquidated With the facts above
stated before him, and the additional fact that
in ordinary times, say in 1859 or 1860, the
proceeds of the sale Of the furniture would
have been barely more than sufficient to pay
the debts which the administrator paid, the
Judge decided that, as the administrator had
The right to retain it in his hands for longer
period, and as it could not have been invested
or distributed or further used in the payment of
debts, and as the Confederacy fell within four
months after his qualification, and before it
was practicable to obtain an order for the in
Vestment Of said balance, the administrator
should not be required to discharge the said
balance in any other than Confederate currency,
and that the estate should be charged with
the same as oss.-Richmond Dispatch.
