. A New Method of Placing Illicit whisky
ON the MRFltet-Heavy Shipments TO
Boston from Misunderstanding Citizens
OF the Former Place Implicated-HIgh
Officials Suspected.
BUFFALO, Sept. 17-Duripg the past three
months special agent l.. Hawley, of the Internal
Revenue Department, at the instance of Gene
raj A. Root, Collector of this district, has been
investigating the manner in which whisky is
shipped from Buffalo to New York and Boston.
The shipment is generally made in bond, the
bonds being cancelled by the Collector for the
District in which the shipment is made, on
being notified by the Collector of the District in
which IL has been received that the whisky Is
stored in a United States bonded warehouse
the Collector, Inspector, and United States
General Root, the Collector, having been In
formed that whisky was selling in Boston and
New York at figure below % the Goyernment
Department OF the above facts.
There has been during the past year, on an
average three hundred barrels of whisky
shipped from this city to Boston weekly and de-
livered in that city, the Collector of Boston GER
tifying that the whisky was received and stored
in United States bonded warehouse. Col
lector Root, becoming suspicious, despatched a
S5Pbo renoTts that the Coiiector of Boston ms
been absent for some time, and that the re-
ceipts forwarded to this city from Boston
are pronounced forgeries by the deputy coll
lector, while the inspector states that he
never signed the receipts. The agent, on
inquiring, learned that there were eight thou
sand barrels Of whisky shipped from Buffalo to
Boston that could not be accounted for and
That 1t was not stored IN bonded warehouse,
as required by law; also that the railroad which
transported The whisky had delivered it to
cartmen who claimed 1t for the firm OF Post
q JONES' liquor merchants, and who neglected
to take a receipt On the agent inquiring for
Post & Jones he was informed that there was
no such firm in Boston. He then telegraphed
to Collector Root, who placed the matter in the
hands of the United States District Attorney
Hyde, of Boston. Collector Root, on receiving the
agents report, seized 5000 barrels of whisky
and 1000 bushels of corn belonging to
John f. Perry, the only shipper of whisky in
this district. A letter was received to-day from
the District Attorney in Boston, in which he
states that he has arrested six prominent citi-
zens Tor being implicated, besides having re-
covered three hundred barrels of whisky.
have been permitted to examine the receipts
which are claimed by the internal revenue OFF,
GERS of Boston to be fOrgeries. They are signed
and sealed by Collector W ii. McCarty, Assessor
William ]. King, and United States Inspec-
tor Q. Howe; and If forgeries, are decidedly
good ones.
From the facts which have gathered, am
inclined 10 believe that the bonds were signed
and sealed by leading official in the Internal
Revenue office in Boston.

Philadelphia Democrats I'm Town.
A strong delegation of Philadelphia Demo-
cratic politicians came down this morning, con-
sistlng of the Hon. Samuel ]. Randall, Samuel
Josephs, Joseph Megary, d. @. Enos, and J. NJ.
Maginnis. 1t is sdrmlsed they come to urge
upon Johnson to give them assistance at the oc-
tober election.

The Presidential excursion party reached here
shortly after one o'clock this morning, pretty
well tired out The President is at his post this
morning, transacting business. large number
of visitors are at the White House. McCulloch
is also on duty at the Treasury.
Mr. FitZ John Porter.
Fitz John Porter arrived this morning, and
had an interview with General Grant. His case
is under consideration, but there are legal diff
culties in the way, which seem to be bar to
his request being granted, as he is no longer an
officer of the army, but civilian, and cannot
be tried by court-martial.
Then the finding in his case has gone through
all the regular forms, was approved by the late
President Lincoln, and the vacancy has been
filed, so that there seems to be no way in which
the Judgment in the case can be reversed or even
reopened. No decision has been made in the
matter yet All the West Point influence seems
to be favorable to Porter.

A CASE OF RESTITUTION. special meet
ing of the Westmoreland Gardeners Lodge,
No. l42 (Kendal), held on the night of the
18th of August, was summoned for rather
novel purpose. 1t appears that some thirty
three years ago, when the Lodge did not mus
ter SO numerously, and was not so rich as at
present, one of its members was entrusted
with sum of money, more than ESQ sterling,
for the purpose of purchasing regalia. The
man was young and poor, the temptation was
too strong, and neither man nor money was
soain heard of until last month, when per-
sen Of respectable appearance and gentlemanly
5enortmert waited on the Secretary, and
asked him to summon special general meet
inc of the Lodge. This was done, curiosity
MAS excited, and a large gathering was the
rasnlt. Il then came out that the person of
respectabie appearance and gentlemanly de-
portment was the missing gardener" of
tbirtv-three years ago, who had come all the
NAV from America to repay in person, with
ample interest, the money which he had ap-
propriated in his poorer days.
