NEW York, Oct. 19.-The Herald IS
Washington special says: The Treas
ury Department officials are on the
| track of some great frauds in whisky
in New York and elsewhere. and
special agents have been quietly dis
patched to work up the evidence. Great
secrecy is observed, but there Is reason
to believe that two important frauds
have been perfeCted since the new reg
ulatiOns went into effect, and that they
will soon receive attention from the Of
ticIals. One of these two were ship
ments from the West to New York OF
spirits of much higher proof than are
called for in the permits and bills OF
ding, the other for the Collector to
conceal and ultimately destroy the
bonds given for transportation from
one district to the other. Some of the
largest manipulations in both sections
of the country have been quietly watch
ed for a few weeks past, and a trap pre-
pared for them, into which they have
already fallen.
A delegation of hungry whisky men
is here urging the removal of Commits
sioner Rollins, on the ground of cor
rnption, and it is simply pIeposterous
for such charges to be made against n
man, of whom whatever may be
thought of his politics or character, not
a word can be said on the score of per-
soDal integrity.
One of the important features of the
Treasury investigation by the Re-
trenchment Committee, will be that
looking into the alleged over issue OF
the fractional currency. There has been
large excess of the legitimate issue OF
the currency, or else thousands of dol
lars of the counterfeit stuff are in circu-
lation.
The Herald says: The Barnum in
vestigating committee after sitting three
days, at Falls Village, has again adj
iourned to a future day, not yet decid-
ed upon. The evidence thus far, while
it shows clearly that money was lavish
ly spent by both sides, does not estab-
lish directly the charge of buying
votes made against w. 81. Barnum,
while on the other hand it has been
sworn TO by a number of witnesses
that P. T. Barnum's Agents openly
bought or attempted TO buy votes.
The Herald's special says: The Con-
gressional Committee on Southern
Railroads have completed their exami-
| nations in Richmond, and leave to-day
for Charleston.
The Times special says: The report
the Judiciary Committee had finally
agreed to report in favor of ImPeach-
ment, Is not true. They have had nc
meeting on the subject.
A full investigation of the riot in Bal
timore, Thursday night, will show that
the colored men merely acted in self
defense. They were stoned, when they
returned the assault with shots, one oil
| which proved fatal.
the Tribune says: Judge Lawrence OF
| the judiciary committee AYERS the state
ment that the Judiciary committee are
in favor of Impeachment is true.
The Democrats have sent for McClel-
Ian to return to this country, and will
nominate him for President, with
another ex-military man for Vice
President.
A Richmond letter says: Gen. Scho-
field has returned from Washington
He says that there will be no changes
made in the Cabinet for some time, II
at all. The President has no present
intention in that direction, nor will
there be any alteration in the manner
OF Southern Reconstruction.
The General is anxious that the Con-
vention should be called, and regrets
that so many of the whites are dispos-
ed to oppose it. He says they will be
mistaken If they think their Northern
friends will sustain them in such Il
and that it is also certain that the Con-
sIitution that will be framed by it., will
he adopted by the people and approved
by Congress, and Virginia, before the 4th
of March, Will be in the Union, rejoic-
ing with her younger sister, Tennes-
see.
The Republicans of Brooklyn last
night nominated Archibald NJ. Bliss,
