announced to-day, win certainly be published to-
morrow. The result 1t is said, Will be much more
favorable than was shown by the estimate given out

about the same reduction OF the debt this month as
there was last month. The belief seems to be now
that the debt win show reduction Of between

Tho Internal Revenue Frauds-Dismny
Among Officials.
The expected developments In the line Of internal
revenue frauds, limited at in these dispatches day
before yesterday and further ventilated editoriay
in the HERALD to-day, are beginning to awaken
quite lively excitement In all circles. The state
ment that McCulloch himself Ia likely TO come to
grief at last is not generally credited, but there
many who declare that the thing Ii certainly to DO
done by President Johnson, who has made q
thorough investigation and has resolved to spare no
Official high or low, II found mixed up with the
whiskey and other plunderers Of the Treasury. II
Is alleged that the afiidavits gathered by Judge
Fullerton and laid before the President not
many days ago disclose degree OF official
corruption OF the most astounding character, and
impiicate some OF the highest officials by proofs that
can neither be sneered nor laughed at by district
attorneys or judges, nor maneuyred out or court by
the cunning strategic movements Of members Of the
whiskey ring. A number OF curious documents
have been unearthed during the process OF the IN
vestlgations, aud among them letter ssa..1 y have
uccn written by direction OF secretary McCuoch TO
ntmidate Judge Fullerton do not state that such
Its object but the strange character OF the let
ter certainly needs little explanation. sam Ward
seems to be mixed up with II. II appears the Lively
and active Samuel showed In New York letter
directed to Judge Fullerton. advising the latter
that he could not be employed by the Secretary
OF the Treasury nor by Commissioner Rollins
TO investigate the revenue frauds, "a the law
authorized no such employment, and there was no
appropriation for such purpose This letter not
signed but Ward declared that 1t was written by
Mr. McCullochs scribe, by Mr.. McCullochs direction,
10 be handed TO Fullerton by Ward or some other
party, the object being to discourage Fullerton from
taking hold OF the case against Courtney and other
government authorities supposed to be affected with
more than lukewarmness towards ferrcting out the
frauds. McCuoch ii Is further said, does not deny
the authorship OF this singular letter. but lights shy
OF it whenever mis- attention Il called thereto
Supervisors Nominated.

mended to the Secretary OF the Treasury for appoint.
