"The parties are set forth as engaging together
for the purpose of arranging q plan by which
dealers shall be permitted to ship whisky without
paying the taxa matter of small Importance.
What were the rates Of payment for this so called
privilege Of defrauding government-that was IN
the first instance $500-the amount thus received
making $4,000, which year afterwards was raised
to s22 900 to the collector and subsequently to
$50 000 The amounts thus received were not TO
be considered by the jury. Ii was important that
the revenues of tie government shall be faith
fully collected, and no less important that no
citizen accused Of misdemeanor shall be convicted
except upon sufficient evidence"
The case was then submitted to the Jury, who
found verdict OF guilty against John II. Ander-
son. collector Robert W. Elsom, inspector I; Al
fred ]. GOudman, assistant inspector, and J. II.

TEE PERUVIAN Iron CLADs.-A Washington
special of the 18th to the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
1t is ascertained that the sale by Messrs. Swift
& Co., of Cincinnati, of the iron cads Onesta and
C8tavba, to the government of Peru, has been
known TO Secretary Seward for some time. as
the negotiations for the sale were closed through
the agency of the Peruvian minister to this
government and he Immediately informed Mr..
Seward of the consummation of the contract
From this statement it is evident that the parties
interested never intended to run the vessels out
OF the port of New Orleans without clearance
papers, as was stated in the dispatches from that
city. The original bids for the purchase Of the
vessels were regularly advertised for by the navy
department, but were forfeited, after which
Messrs. Swift & Co. purchased them at their ap-
praised value as authorized by Law. The report
Of the committee charged with the investigation
of this matter will embrace these facts, aud will
exculpate both the navy department and the pur.
chssers from all blame in this matter, although il
will undoubtedly include some very severe stric-
lures regarding the course pursued by Secretary
Welles in other similar transactions.

A peculiar circle was observed around the sun
at Boston, last week, which gave rise to much
speculation. One Of the savans Of the Hub ex-
plains that its appearance was attributable "to
the inferior diaphanicity of the crcumterential
adumbration, in photometTic comparison with the
superjscent cirro-cumuli," and that "the phe.
nomenon was merely hyRrometric." Boston is
satisfied with this explanation.

As presiding officer over the trial. my conscience
testifes that have been strictly impartial; and
am sure that any one who reads the report Will

opinions, but have very seldom given utterance
to them. Indeed. | do not think that the case in
any Of its aspeets has been the subject OF conver

senator's, and then only casually and briefly. No
senator will say that have sought to influence
him.
The real ground of denunciation is that have

CRABs.-A gentleman at Annapolis fenced in q
cove near the mouth of the Severn river and COM
menced the cultivation of crabs on a large scale.
He has put In about 4000 and feeds them on coarse
fish and any kind of refuse meat A squad of
them will attack catfish, devour il in one night
and pick the bones as clean as pack of wolves
would pick deer. The soft crab is only the hard
crab with his coat or shell Of. Before shedding
bis shell he is worth only half a cent in market I;
without IT be is worth dime. he sheds his shell
but once year, and then remains o soft crab but
few hours, when a new shell Is again formed.
But few soft crabs are seen, owing to the difficulty
of finding and capturing them 10 the nick Of
time" This difficulty it is proposed TO obviate by
the berding process, where the stock can be ex.
smined every day, and as fast as a crab Is found
with bis coat Of he is captured as soft crab and
marketed accordingly. The location OF the crab
pasture is at point where the tide regularly ebos
snd flows, giving the crabs plentiful supply 81
