History of the Revenue Frauds.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE Herald
publishes seven columns of correspond
ence between John Fl. Gilmer and the reve-
nue. officials. regarding the whiskey frauds,
in which Mr.. G. complains that high Off
Gals thwarted him in exposing and punish
ing frauds. A letter from him to Secretary
McCulloch, dated November 4th, says:
Without giving other reasons, sir, re-
specially invoke your official condemna-
ton Of the act, and Of all parties connected
with it. The badges of fraud cluster
around every circumstance, and disclose q
guilty motive and concurrent crime in
every move made by the parties, and they
involve the commissioner, the collector,
and the assessor. Let the law be enforced.
1t stands fully armed for its vindication,
and have right to invoke its admins
trative and penal enforcement. Though
the commissioner has used every appliance
to destroy my influence and remove the
authorized capacity to investigate and re-
port Oh such matters, though not as an
officer of the Government, feel, as an
American citizen, authorized to expose and
hold up to official, executive, and popular
condemnation such q fragrant and palpable
violation of official duties"

New MODE OF STANDARDIZATION
NARY FLIGHT OF A CIGAR MANUFACTURER
An extraordinary case Of imposition and
swindling-very amusing to all but the vic
tim-occurred in this city short time
since.
a cigar and tobacco dealer named Charles
Z. Knoll, whose stand was on Fifth street,
had in his employ cigar-make who had
moved out Of the assessors district IN which
he formerly lived. He ought to have had
his license endorsed by the assessor Of his
present district, but he neglected to do so.
This fact became known to some sharpers,
who gave their names as Hang & Co., and
called upon him. Knoll, who is a very
tmid and nervous little German, was told
that he had been violating the revenue law,
and rendered himself liable to heavy
punishment. He naturally became much
frightened. They slid that if he did not
take care the revenue officers would take
his store from him if they found it out.
They also stated that they had had a good
deal Of experience in such matters, and
knew how to make it all right. They then
made proposition that he should give
them bill Of sale of his store and its con-
tents, and they would take care of it for q
short time.
Knoll thought this O good idea, and so
made out bill of sale and gave it to them.
AS soon as they got it one of the scamps
looked out of the door and then made
rush for the inside of the store. He told
Knoll that the revenue officers had found it
out anyhow, and it would be best for him
to get out Of town. Poor Knoll, fearful and
intimidated, put on his hat and coat in hot
haste, and acting upon their suggestions,
made for the ferry-boat as fast as his legs
could carry him. When he had gone the
scamps closed the store, and one putting on
long-tailed coat and the other stove
pipe hat to disguise themselves, went after
him. He crossed the river before them and.
ran toward the sloughs. They landed soon
afterwards and made o show of pursuit,
which stimulated Knoll to greater ex-
ertions in the way of flying. Under the
impression that they were the dreaded Of
ficers, he fastened past the Pittsburg coal
landing and sought refuge in the woods of
Cahokia. He unfortunately got up to his
neck in mud, but extricated himself and
crawled under q pile Of brushwood. Hang
& Co. walked at distance from the pile
and finally came over to st. Louis, took pos
session of the store, and commenced to sell
and remove the tobacco and cigars. The
real revenue officers became aware of the
fact and seized the store. Hang & Co. de-
camped. Knoll, after remaining in his
ambush number of hours, mustered cour-
age to come back to St. Louis. He found
his store in possession of the officers of the
law. Hang & Co. had been selling cigars
unstamped, which he had not been doing.
Some proceedings were commenced against
Knoll, and it was in the course of these
that the true facts of the case came to the
knowledge of Colonel Noble, United States
District Attorney. He reported them to the
commissioner, and the proceedings were
stayed. Knoll lost considerable portion
of his property. Hang Co. are still at
large. st. Louis Republican.

ceed- TO Ne applied TO the reduction of the
Sale debt. He recommends that no fur
Their aid be given to railroads, except to

State has large Interests. He recommends
that measures be taken TO wind up the Bank
Of Tennessee forthwith. Regarding the ex-
tension Of franchise, he suggests that there
should be determinations concerning those
who were in the rebellion. They were not
al alike culpable for the past, nor untrust-
worthy for the future. To those invo-
unfairly drGwninto the rebellion, who, since
is utter failure, have given evidence that
they accept the result in good faith, are good
citizens, quiet ard laH-abidirg, and have
strictly Observed their paroles, and such as
viii not use political power to prescribe
and degrade those whom the war has eman-
cipa2i aud invested with the right Of
franchise, the franchise might safely, and
therefore wisely, be granted. The extern
s.on should however, be attended by suita-
be guards and checks, that advantage
could no; lie taken of its liberality to en-
Danger the safety Of the State. Other
classes who still remain hostile to the State
should remain disirauchised for an indei
lIte period. He also recommends an in
crease Of the salary of the Governor and
judiciary, and makes various recommended
tons relative to the insane hospital and
lellieutary.

GENERAL GRANTS VIEWS OF THE Re

crxrRAr GRANTS VIEWS OF THE Re-
,rs,ICAN PLATFoRM.--A statement made
80 a gentleman in whom may be placed i'm
.i;c;t reliance. and who enjoys excellent
isnrortrnities to enable him to speak intel
TrcDtly on the subject, may give some in
S;ration Of General Grants position in
rcIation to the Republican party. He states
tbat after the General was nominated he
cot for ouite long time carefully reading
and wondering upon the platform adopted
Nv the Convention that he finally ex-
tossed to his confidential friends that he
iii not like it, and was in great doubt
whether he would sccept the nomination on
,ha, platform. This coming to the ears of
rertsin leaders of the party, they FASTENED
"a Fall upon the General, who stated to them
lis objections to the platform. This intel
Trcrcc was received with no little consterna-
finn by his visitors, who feared that Grant
entertained the intention Of declining the
nomination. They at once opened upon
him with every conceivable argument they
,oold bring forward to induce him to nc
cent. one OF which arguments was that the
platform need not be regarded by him in so
serious light-it was simply m enuncia-
ton Of the general principles of tie party,
necessary only to make up the issues of the
campaign. They urged him to accept at all
events, aud to say nothing more about the
platform. Many other arguments of a
similar character were used, it is said,
which gave Grant to understand that they
wanted him to accept the nomination if
even it had to be on platform of his own
ajoption.- Washington telegram in Ne,c

Internal Revenue Frauds I'm Virginia.
special telegram TO the Dispatch.
{ WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE Herald
contains q correspondence between Hon.
John Fl. Gilmer, of Richmond, Secretary
McCulloch, Commissioner Rollins, and
others, touching an investigation and ex-
posure of enormous revenue frauds in Vir-
ginia. It discloses the fact that, after the
most patient and searching investigation
by Mr.. Gilmer, he has been thwsrted in
his patriotic work, and is now prevented
from bringing to speedy punishment the
parties implicated in the frauds disclosed.
It is also made to appear that during the
investigation every effort was made to de-
ceive Gilmer. 1t is charged that even when
great frauds were brought recently to the
knowledge Of the Commissioner by regular
reports of an authorized officer, he (the
Commissioner used every artifce to arrest
the investigation and to cover over the de-
tected frauds, although Gilmer was autho-
rized by the Collector of Internal Revenue
TO conduct and pursue his investigations of
charges desired to be examined into. The
records of the Collectors Office were, by
higher authority, withheld from his inspec-
ton. Mr.. Gilmer finally becoming wearied
out with the interferences, delays, and i'm
pediments thrown in his way, notified the
Department of his determination not to
abandon his investigations, but to lay be-
fore the President the painful results of
his correspondence with the Treasury De-
partment and its employees. H.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE-SUMMARY PUNIsH-
MENT.-On Tuesday the Sd instant most
horrible crime was committed near SWANS
boro', Emanuel county, by negro named
Pierce Bolding upon the person of Miss
Virgins, young lady OF fifteen years, and
the daughter of q respected citizen of that
county. 1t appears that she was on her
way to school in the village, when the ne
gro rushed from the roadside, knocked her
senseless, and accomplished bis purpose.
She was found lying insensible by pass
er-by and carried home, and on recovering
related what had occurred. The officers of
the law and others started in pursuit Of
thescoundrel, and overhauled him near Sum-
merville, in the same county, from whence
he was carried to Jail, when he confessed
having committed the deed. The same night
a body Of armed men proceeded to the Jail,
took him out, ard hung him. Previous to
his execution he stated that he and several
other negroes had formed plan On that
day to violate the persons of several young
ladies who attended school in the village,
but the others oversight themselves and he
started out alone, and Miss Virgins was
the first one he met.-Savannah Meas.

Of the House in any particular physically,
nor in many mentally 80 much as in his
bitter and uncompromising Radicalism. In
this respect Mr.. Stevenss mantle has fallen
upon the proper object. lie is native OF
Beaver county, Pa, and son of Hon. J ohm
Dickey, who many years ago Represented
the Beaver district in Congress. When
young he removed to Lancaster and entered
Mr.. Stevens's Office as lew student. At
ter his admission to the bar he remained in
the same Office, and was Mr.. Stevens's
trusted friend and business associate until
the old man's death. At the Lancaster bar,
which numbers among its members some of
the best lawyers in the State, he occupies
a prominent place.
AS speaker he is entertaining, but not
eloquent; and gives force and character to
all he utters. He is small in stature and
in physical frame; but, like his distin-
guished predecessor, has great power of en-
durance. lie Is ProDaVly forty years or
age, with straight, dark hair, tinged here
and there with gray, has prominent fore
head and a keen eye. But he is an I'M
tried man in legislative halls, and it re-

more attention than is usually accorded to
new members for the very reason that he
is Thaddeus Stevens's successor.-WdSh-
