ington, November 12.-The United States reve-
nue. officers have detected immense frauds upon
the government by various importers Of cherry
and other wines, and silks and ribbons. Seizures
of property of this class to the amount of more
than million of dollars have been made in New
York. One firm paid $4,000 as compromise
for its alleged frauds upon the revenue; another
paid $4,000, and a third proposes to pay $40,
900. Heavy seizures of like character have been
made III New Orleans and San Francisco. 1t is
estimated that there will be secured to the gov
eminent revenues by these seizures, in the aggre-
gate, abouts 100000. The government special
agents who discovered and brought to light these
frauds will make about 100000 as fees.

"Speaker Colfax looms up as the
