THE COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL.
REVEAUE.

The Offices Of assessor and collector of
Internal revenue resulted from the rebellion.
The effort to protect certain species Of
what was deemed properly by the people of
the South, and considered in danger by the
malcontents aud ignorant, eliminated in its
certain and total loss and in the taxing Of
everything else nt rate heretofore uupre-
cedeuted. \ new department Of taxation
was established, that was destined to collect
more revenue than the total receipts Of tho
treasury department from all other sources,
including those from customs. This depart
ment is known as that of the Internal rev
euue. 1t vas organized on a plan new to
most Of our people, and the laws establish.
ing it have been materially amended from
time 10 time. twas not until quite recently
that the machinery Of the Internal revenue
department began to work smoothly.
The office in this city Was first organized
By Mr.. w. r. whitaker, under the old, or
first Law. so far as we can learn, this was
done in satisfactory manner, He, however,
resigned, and was succeeded by General
Benton. who was undoubtedly a good, mill
tary officer, but we do not know of anything
connected with his civil office that calls for
special mention. His death about the latter
part of March last left vacancy and caused
quite a hutter among politicians. His
chief deputy was charged with the conduct
of affairs in the Office, which he seemed to
think he could perform as well in Washing
ton as elsewhere. At least, he started al
once for the political Mecca, and, while he
was gone, some little confusion resulted
from the absence Of the head of so large a
department
With all of Andy Johascn's faults he some
times does really good thing. Aud in fill

General Benton he oertaialy exercised coed

it is important that the names of

FILTHY CONDITION OF THE

The condi.l0- of the streets of this city

of New Orleans Oy soldiers of the United

Instead Of improving they are daily be-
coming worse, and the green scum on the
staguant waters in the cutters, the poison
Gus gases arising therefrom, the otTsnsiYe
odors ascending from almost every street in
the city, invite epidemic, disease, and death
TO make their unwelcome vsitations n our
midst.

judgment, whether his own or that of some
one else we are not prepared to say. At any
rate, the choice fell upon General James
Steedman, an officer whose later war his
tory is familiar to most of our readers. But
as the earlier record of an officer of so much
Importance as the collector of internal reve-
nue. Of the First district of Louisiana is nat.
urally interesting we will merely allude to
some of it.
! During the exciting campaign for the
presidency i'll 1860, Mr.. James Steedman
was a quiet but intelligent and observant
citizen of Toledo Ohio. He was delegate
to the celebrated Charleston convention,
and was an earnest supporter of Stephen A.
Douglas for the nomination. On his return
home, he ran for Congress in the Tenth
| congressional district of Ohio in opposition
| to James NJ. Ashley who ran on the
| Republican or Lincoln ticket. Mr..
Lincoln carried the Tenth district
| by majority Of more tn an six thousand,
and Mr.. Ashley was sent to Congress with
majority of about two hundred and fifty,
showing at least that Mr.. Lincoln was very
popular with the Qhioans of the Tdledo'
district. In the following April Mr.. Stecd-
man was commissioned as colonel of the
| fourteenth Ohio volunteers, and when the
same regiment was subsequently mustered
in as three years men, the colonel received
arenewal of his commission. His first dis
! tinguished actions were against the rebels
at Laurel Hill, and Corricks Ford. The
rebel general Garnett was killed at the for
Z plupa rp1nual Ip1a ha nY,ly-
! ing officer in the affair, and had fought and
won the battle before the brigadier general
came up. 1t was out of this affair that
McClellan's earlier reputation as a general
| sprang.
Colonel Steedman was nominated to the
| Senate for brigadier general in February,
| 1868, but on account of combinations
against him which we need not allude to
! here, he WAS not confirmed until July. His
military deeds since that date are intimate
| ly connected with the history of the war.
| General Steedman on arriving in this city
began to organize his department into some
thing like system. He at once Topped off
several super7uous officers and RENTED
their duties to others. Under the new law
he removed the special inspectors and
directed the deputy collectors to look after
the distlleries. This enterprising class of
manufacturers have recently been sharply
looked after, and some of them have come
to grief on account of their failure to com
ply with the law. The collectors office is
now n model Of system and regularity.
The personal presence of the head tends in
! a wonderful manner to promote attention
and efficiency in I'll the minor details.
This was one of the great wants of the pre-
ceiing administration. The following is a
list Of the deputy collectors and clerks:
u. Sweetser, J. II. Irwin, A. l.. Gurney,
J. Z. Spencer, w. b. Cummings, l.. Wool
fey, r. w Francis, deputy collectors; Il.

one of S25, 600 was discovered accidentally
that had been forgotten.
No Plan Proposed.
The committee proposed no plan oil action.
1t is said Mr.. Barker is determined to collect
debts due, and pay out the same to whom
he pleases; this they advised to be pre-
vented by injunction.
Here motion was made for the credit
ors, in committee of the whole, to proceed
to hang all connected with the bank.
Mr.. Soule kept calm, seemed to under
stand phrenologically the character Of the
audience, and by some wise counsel secured
wise course.
A motion then passed, authorizing the
committee to take the proper steps to pre-
vent Mr.. Barker from disposing of his prop.
erty to the prejudice of any creditor.
An irrepressible member, not yet salts
fed with this, moved committee to re.
quest General Sheridan to prevent, through
his detectives, any of the property from
being spirited away, and to hunt up the
banks assets.
Mr.. Soule again calmed the angry waters,
and suggested that it was not in the gener-
ais jurisdiction. He said that by acting
wisely and coo!ly, forty or fifty per cent. of
the debts might be made. Nothing would
be obtained by violent course.
Several depositors addressed the meeting.
A motion passed to publish the statement
and letters in the daily papers. A believer
in the Cresceat'S liberality, Mr. James D.
McMilen, guaranteed it would publish them
free Of expense, when the cost came to be
debated. This individual being TOO fre.
quently on the floor, was caused to simmer
down by the. e.chairman. Then came strug
gle to raise some $50 already expend-
ed in advertising. Those most ram
pant for the publication of everything,
were slowest in shelling out to pay the al
ready contracted debt. Some of them were
for not paying "innything.'
The meeting finally adjourned to meet
again Tuesday evening, at some hall here
after to be designated possibly in some
of the buildings named in the assets of the
hank
