tioh this morning from the officers of the
Fifth District Of Virginia, that extensive
frauds in the distilling of whisky had been
discovered at Richmond. An effort TO seize
the establishment was unsuccessful, the off
GERS having been met by large body ofmen
and forced to retire. Measures have been
taken to suppress the Establishment, but fur
ther trouble is anticipated.

| Wis Was considered in the cabinet meeting to-

The printing Of the impeachment testimony
has been suspended for the present, and will
not be resumed until the week previous to the
re assembling of Congress. This is deemed
| necessary to prevent its being known
| before the time arrives for its presents
alton to Congress. The obligation to secresy
imposed upon the employees Of Government
printing Offices is not deemed sufficient to
! keep the testimony out of the hands Of the
| newspaper correspondents.
