Inspection of whisky.


Several months ago E. E. Locke, Esq,
was appointed Inspector at the works
known as Locke's Mills, and having had
much practical experience in the manu-
facture of alcohol, discovered that most
extraordinary system of inspection was in
vogue throughout the State, by which the
manufacturer in a forty gallon barrel of
20 degrees proof gained eight gallons, on
which, consequently, no excise duty was
paid. 70 elucidate the matter more clear
ly, we will state that by law 80 degrees of
proof constitute a gallon, from which the
plain inference would be that gallon of
alcohol or liquor marked 70 degrees would
in law be equal to one and half gallons;
or if marking 100 degrees make two gall
Ions on which tax ought to be paid. In
place of this however the practice strange
ly obtained OF multiplying the excess by
the gallons and dividing by 100 instead of
5O-thus, taking barrel of 40 gallons at
10 degrees, the excess over proof, 20, was
multiplied by 49, producing 500, which,
divided by 100, made the barrel cont tain As
gallons, while if divided 10y the true proof
gallon, 90, it would make SO gallons liable
to tax. A sin of this kind did not suit
the manufacturers or the democracy, and
charges of inc6mpetency were at once
trumped up against Mr.. Locke, and the
Whisky Department at Washington,
in its usual summary manner, superseded
Mr.. Locke and appointed Captain 5. Ben
ner in his place. Mr.. L., however, who
is certainly as competent as any man in
this county for such position, deemed it
but Justice to himself to meet the charge
OF incompetency, and as will be seen by
the following letter from headquarters
has elected the fact that he WAS RIGHT,
together with an acknowledgements of his
.aithfulness:
Treasury Dept, Office of Int. Rev,
WASHINGTON, Dec 27th, '65.

YOU in your official capacity as Inspector

referred TO in the letter of J. Sewell Stew
art, Assessor, showing your manner of
calculating the excess proof, was duly rC-
ceiVcd.
In reply I have to say, that the state
meat of this inspection now furnished by
you has been found upon examination to
he correct and in accordance with tho in
strUctions issued from this office. 1t diff
fers materially, however, from the state
ment Ofthc same Inspection furnished by
the letter OF Mr.. Stewart, who must
doubtless have been mis;nlormed at the
time of writing.
| take pleasure in assuring you that
from the verbal and written explanations
Of your transactions as Inspector no inn
putation upon your capacity or integrity

gestions as to the methed of Inspection
pursued by Mr.. 8enmer, the Inspector at

reading such Il letter, why not re-instate
an officer who is acknowledged to have
