The Dale silk mill at Patterson has
been attached by the Government, the
owners having, the Revenue officials
alleged, defrauded the Revenue of
$4,000 by making false returns in
1861 and 1862. The mill, which is
most extensive, is to be kept running,
in charge of an agent of the Govern
ment.
The removal of Collector Thomas
E. Smith of the Eighth District, is
currently reported. The specific.
charge upon which his removal is said
to have been effected, is that In July
803 barrels of whisky were shipped
from Dubuque, Iowa, and consigned
to the. Collector of the Eighth, Dis,
trict, to cancel bonds, upon. which.
this whisky was shipped. 1t was nec-
essary for Smith to certify that the
lot had entered bonded warehouse
ia his district. This he did, and
stated they had been entered in the
bonded warehouse Of sc. Boehm 81
Co., the night before that establish
n1ent was destroyed by fire on the
18th of July. The investigation
showed, however, that the whisky had
not time to reach this city from, the
date of shipment from Dubuque, and
the identical 803 barrels were traced
to other places. Collector Smith, all
though held responsible for this GER
tifftation, had no pecuniary interest
In the transaction, but was probably
made the victim of collusion. .ssDeysa-
