THE ALLEGED WHIsKEY FRAUDS.
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY AND
OTHER PAPERS.

In the United States Circuit Court on
| Saturday the grand jury Of the spring
| term presented the following report as en-
| bodying the result Of their investigations
into the charges of internal revenue frauds
preferred by j. H. Gilmer, Esq, of this
city, and published in the New York Herald
over his signature. Neither Mr.. Gilmer
nor Mr.. Smith have been before the grand
jury, as the former is in Washington, and
the latter has thus far succeeded in eluding
| the most vigilant detectives.
To the Honorable Judge of the United States
Circuit Court no,o sitting at Richmond, al
the November term thereof, A. u. 1868:
The grand jurors of the United States for
the body of the District of Virginia, and
now attending said court, respectfully pre-
sent That they have, in addition to the in
| dictments returned to court by them, In
vestigated numerous charges of frauds upon
| the revenue besides those brought to their
notice by the District Attorney, many ot
which have lately been reported in the
| public prints. The alleged frauds through
The bonded warehouse Of Davis & Co. were
investigated during our session of last sum
| mer, but We were unable to find any foun'
| dation for the charges.
We have caused dilligent search to be
| made fer the persons over whose names
these charges have lately been reported II
the public prints, but have been unable tt
obtain their attendance, although we have
remained in session during the week for nc
other purpose.
1t appears from papers which have come
,,,t, nd hat hot acted
upon matters Of street rumor, as each now
deny having facts Of their own knowledge
The greater part of the time of the grand
jury having been taken up by the lnvesti
CATION of so-called revenue frauds, where
| the complainants knew Of no charges, they
have deemed it their duty to condemn the
| practice of taking notice of all charges o.
revenue frauds unless the same are pro-
| perly sworn to and examined before com
| missioner of this court. Such nnfoundeo
| charges not only attack the character anc
| business of the persons charged, but Sc
riously impede the collection of the public
revenues. Of this nature, II appears TO the
grand jury, are the publications herein
before referred to.

THE GRAIN AND FLOUR MARKET.-At the
Corn Exchange on Saturday the offerings
Of wheat were 1,l79 bushels; corn, 555
bushels !; oats, 500 bushels rye, 12O bush
els. The quantity on 'Change same day
last year was Wheat, 1925 bushels corn,
7l2 bushels; oats, 694 bushels, and rye,
1872 bushels. On the 2lst November, 1867,
prime white wheat was So G5 prime red,
$2.45 prime old corn, sl.2211a; prime new
corn, 90c.; prime oats, 60c. and prime
rye, $l.37h. This shows great disparity
OF prices between the rates OF that date and
those of Saturday.
The Richmond market he's become very
dull. White wheat declined on Saturday
&c., and prime red brought but 50, with
very small sales-for wheat there was
but one buyer. One of the largest Of the
mills is not buying at present.
Flour has declined materially. We learn
Of forced sales Of extra as low as $3.50.
Other grades are also dull, and with con-
siderable stock on hand. Some of the -four
sent from the country this season, being
made of wheat partly sound and partly un-
sound, has not proved equal in quality to
that sent from the same mills in other sea-
sons, and consequently this article will not
keep for any length of time. Some farmers,
on account of what they considered the low
price offered for damp, tough, and damaged
wheat, instead Of sending these kinds to
market had them ground into -four, and
then sent the -four here. In connection
with this subject, we notice that of little
over 1900 barrels of -four inspected in
Richmond for the four months ending Oc-
tober 81. Nearly 1000 barrels were con-
demned, or about one barrel in every fifty
| four.
In Baltimore, on Friday, sales Of red
wheat were made at from Sl.50 to $2.35,
and white at $2.35. New corn IS to sec.
for white new yellow, 81 to Sl.0o; old
white, 81 to 81 ,08 and old yellow was held
at 20 TO SI.23. ...e-a (
In New York, on Friday, -four was dull
and l0c. lower. Wheat dull at 81 so TO
$l.52 for No. 2, spring. Corn without
change. Rye quiet and dropping. The fol-
lowing table on the present condition of

RoCKETTs.-A writer in the Central Pres
byterian thus accounts for the name given
to the lower part of the city:
"Before there was any village or town
where Richmond now stands, man by the
name of Rockets kept ferry on James
river near the mouth of Gillis's creek. Of
course the place where he lived was called
Rockets, and his ferry Rockets ferry.
Long afterwards we had Rockets ware
house, and in all probability the lower part
Of the city Of Richmond will be always
called Rockets. This information has been
derived from two ladies, who, beyond all
controversy, may be considered rs among
our oldest Inhabitants. They are more than
eighty years of age, and were once much in
the society of persons well acquainted with
the localities Of the city and its traditional
history -

Earthouake ON Staten Island.

To the Editor of the Tribune: .@.
Sir: That the story of an earthquake in
Elizabeth, New Jersey, reported to have
been felt in that city on Sunday night last,
may not seem entirely incredible, permit
me to inform you that similar shocks were
distinctly felt at the same hour 90 P. M
on the south side of Staten Island. The
writer, who had just returned from church
land consequently on his poise), was, with
several others, seated in the parlor, on the
first floor, when suddenly the door, which
stood ajar, closed as if by q strong draft,
and heavy thump was felt directly under
meath the house. All arose in an instant,
when another thump, which shook the
building from top to bottom, Immediately
followed, and streng smell Of sulphur
was felt. Two more jars, but less severe,
succeeded. The whole time occupied was
about q minute and half. Plastering in
several places on the ceiling was loosened
and fell to the floor. A feeling of dizziness
was experienced by those in the room, who
lost no time in getting out Of the house as
soon as their be ewildered senses would allow
them. That this was bona .fde earth
quake there can be no doubt, a residence
of several years in South America enabling
the writer to speak knowingly on the sub
ject. Very respectfully, sourHs1DER.

Tom CLARKE AND HIS Two WlvES.-We
all remember Tom Clarke, who married a
second wife the other day at the City Hall
to get clear of charge of unlawful cohabi-
tation. Well, on Saturday he was before
the Mayor again, looking not the least like
the gay Lothario that he is, but with his
downcast air and shaven head reminding
one of a Benedictine monk doing penance.
A beyy of female witnesses stared him in
the face, and among them was Caroline, his
first wife, whose jealous disposition caused
poor Tom ell this trouble. Lettie, the second
wife, whose attractions won Tom from his
country love, was in Jail. Caroline swore
that Tom married her in November, 1861,
and lived with her in peace until last June,
when he came to Richmond. To prove
this she brought Eyelina Wilson, who wit
messed the marriage and had visited the
couple in their happy home in the county
Of Charlotte. This was enough, and so the
Mayor sent Tom on to Judge Burnham' g
court to be indicted for felony. Before he
left the courtroom he made statement
exculpating his counsel, Mr.. Page, from the
charge of giving him unsound legal advice.
That advice was given, ne said, under a
misapprehension OF the facts in the case.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY-SHARP
Practice OF GAMIS.-On Saturday
afternoon Mr.. A. Noise, returning from
Judge Meredith's court to his office in the
Law Building, found two boys there over
hauling the drawers of his desk. One of
them was about sixteen and the other per-
haps thirteen years of age. The latter
sprang past Mr.. Noise as he entered the
office, and made good his escape, but the
elder Of the two was caught. Finding him
self unable to get away, the lad fell upon
his knees, and with tears in his eyes begged
piteously that he might be allowed to go,
as this was his first, his very first, offence.
Mr.. Noise, in the kindness of his heart,
moved by his appeals, agreed to let him go
provided he would give his real name, in
order that if anything were missing he
might know Of whom to ask for it..
He said his name was Charles J. Graves,
but Mr.. Noises son coming in at
the time identified him as one Blake.
The young rascal Insisted, however, that
his name was Graves, that his father work
ed at the Tredegar Works, and offered to
show where he lived. Mr.. Noise got q
friend to see whether the boy vas telling
the truth, and they went together to Seven
teenth street. The boy led the way to o
house, and, opening the door, escorted the
gentleman into the presence of lady whom
he said was his mother. The gentleman
had commenced to explain the object of his
visit, when looking around, he saw the
rogue making for the front door, in his
flight knocking over q lady who was ascend
ing the staircase. We need hardly add
that he was not caught, the other dramatis
perSong being two much astonished to give
pursuit. We have rarely heard Of more
daring exploit for youth.

FINDING OF A MURDERED MAN
NEAR GORDOSSVYLLE.

Information was received in this city on
Saturday evening Of the finding Of the body
Of @ murdered man near Gordonsville un-
der horrible circumstances. 1t seems that
| about 4 O'Clock Friday afternoon two colored
women found the body Oh the side Of the
road, at spot not more than two hundred
yards from the depot Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad. 1t was covered and par
TALLY concealed by pokeberry bushes and
pile of dirt. The body was nearly naked,
having nothing on but q pair of drawers,
and an old army blanket was thrown lightly
around the hips. The skull was mashed in
just behind the right ear the wrists were
tied very tightly together, and the same
cord was passed down and tied around the
ankles 80 tightly that the flesh was cut to
the bone. The deceased was apparently a
young man, not more than twenty-five
years of age, with black moustache and in-
perial, and was about five feet six inches in
height. On his left arm the name of Will
liam E. Burton was picked in India ink.
Justice William Faulconer Immediately
summoned D jury, and at the inquest it
was ascertained that the deceased lived
near Milboro', Va, and had had been o
brakeman on one Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio freight trains running from Richmond
to Staunton. He has q family in Milboro'.
It is thought that the murder must have
been committed at some distant point, and
that the body was thence brought to Cor
louisville. Another supposition is that the
bloody deed was committed on one Of the
railroad trains. There is yet 10 clue either
to the perpetrstor or the object of the mur-
der.
The discovery of the body has thrown a
gloom over the quiet town Of Gordonsville,
as this is not the first murder committed in
the neighborhood within a comparatively
short space Of time.
