FROM NEW YORK.

the morning papers.

The committee for the investigation
of frauds in the Revenue Department
has adjourned, not to reassemble until
after the holidays. The developments
so far more than fulfill the promises of
those who Investigated the investiga-
ton. The committee learned that
gigantic frauds had been practiced in
New York, and government officials,
amply repaid for frauds, discovered
There are over 5000 small distilleries
carried on in the city in cellars and out
houses of private dwellings, where
whisky is made for the purpose OF
evading the tax of Two dollars per gal
Ion.
The committee will visit the principal
cities of the west, when they have con-
cluded their work in New York. The
magnitude of the leak they are endeav-
oring to stop may be judged from the
fact that, according to the census
of 1850, the amount of whisky
made in the United States was upwards
of ninety millions of gallons, and by the
last report of the Revenue Commission
ers it was less than ten millions.
