What Men Drink for Pure Spirits,

Since the commencement of the investiga-
ton by the government officials into illicit
distlllery business, some queer revelations
have been made in regard to the manufacture
of whisky. The processes of manufacturing
this vile stuff are as various as the quahtysof
the pernicious compound usually found in
nine-tenths of the bar-rooms throughout the
city. Men have no idea of what they drink
under the name of whisky. ISIS .r
1t is now u matter of impossibility to get
glass of pure whisky or liquor of any kind,
even in what are considered first-elass places.
The illicit distillation of whisky has been
carried on since the tax of So per gallon, put
on by the government, by small stills As
recently as Tuesday one of the assessors was
informed that some parties were mannfactur-
| ing it in wash kettles. After q few hours
| search an old woman was found manufactur-
ing what is called '.potteen" in kettle The
compound was sufficient to have poisoned a
regiment of men if they had drank enough
| of it. i -....
| -'Potteen,'' or Illicit Irish and Scotch whis-
| ky, is far-famed as an ingredient for making
| whisky punch or whisky sings. The singu-
lar favor of the Ir1shis supposedto be caused
| by using turf for the extraction of the malt.
In making potteen, that distilled from pure
malt is considered superior to that made from
a mixture of malt and raw grain, To assign
a reason for this would require an analysis of
the process of malt, but it may be observed
that the effects Of the mating process are
similar to those the grain undergoes in the
process. Of vegetation, when sown in the
ground. The Constituents orelements of this
whisky are alcohol, pelargonic ether, acetic
ether, fusil oil, and pyroligneous acid (crude
creosote. Whisky owes its favor to pelar-
gonic ether, which is nearly Identical with
gnauthic ether. The smokey taste apparent
in Scotch whisky is impaired by pyroligne-
GUS acid, and is usually initiated by adding
q small quantity of creossote dissolved = in
acetc ether.
The manufacturer subsequently not con.
tent with making respectable imitation of
the genuine liquor, from new spirits and harm.
less flowers, must needs reduce the alcohol so
much by the addition of water that it be.
comes necessary to resort to the alienation
of giving the spirits q fictitious strength by
the addition of Guinea pepper, pellitory or
grains of paradise. The method of adultera-
ton imparts burning taste to the spirit,
which by the ignorant is considered an evi-
dence of strength. By this means the deal.
er makes so gallons of imitation alcohol out
OF 70 gallons of genuine by adding to the
latter 20 gallons Of water, charged with
Guinea pepper, &C., and mixing in a sufficient
beading. The recipe usual used is as fol.
lows:
To 40 gallons common whisky, add:
80 gallons water.
s gallons, tincture of Guinea pepper.
"A quart tinture of kellitory.
| 2 ounces acetic ether
~ gallons strong tea.
/ To improve the flavor of this whisky, add
three ounces pulverized charcoal, and four

The Senate and the Presidents
4af q zEH9 Nominations.
WAsHINGroN. March II

WASHINGTON, March 10. &
AT the rate the nominations come IN from
The President, it will take month for the
senate to get ready to adjourn. Nearly all
democrats are rejected, and the President
says he thinks it is fair to send in half dem
ocrats and half republicans, so long as his
democratic nominations are frstclass men,
He thinks John Quincy Adams for naval
officer of Boston is a specimen, but it is
doubtful If the senate viii confirm him.
The senate desires to adjourn by the last
of this, or the middle of next week, hut il
the President persists in nominating demo.
Gratis for some ofthe Offices, and the senate
insists upon their rejection, an adjournment
is not possible for weeks. The house would
like to adjourn at once, but not later than
the middle of May. The senate prefers to
stay here for q while, and then 90 over to
the middle of October or even December
The members of the house are one by one
giving way to the senate plan.> The pres
sure upon the speaker to appoint the com.
mittees is very great. So far he has stood
out firmly against it, but he cannot resist
much longer. If the senate does not pet
ready early next week for a recess, the house
will demand the. announcement Of commit.
tees,and proceed to serious legislation.

EDITOR OF ARGUS, Dear ,Siir:-In the
absence of the P. NJ. at this place, wish to
correct an error or misunderstanding about
thu mails running from this place, on ac-
count of which there appears some com plant
in your paper of the 9th inst There has
been no day that the regular trips were not
made to Haxlett and Pleasant Ridge. One
trip was, not made on the Line from Rock

trip which should have brought the. ARGUS
and most of the weekly papers. The. Per.
