WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1863.
Solicitor Buckley and the WhisIScy Frauds.
The great interest felt in the late elections has
drawn the attention OF the public from the Internal
Revenue Bureau, Buckley and the whiskey frauds.
These questions, however, do not mean to remain in
the background for any considerable time They
are again in operation and the old contest between
the Investigators and the conceaers OF fraud Ii ahout
starting more into activity. II seems that the
prosecution has run short Of money AMI little more
Is needed to further the ends OF justice but the
Secretary OF the Treasury has informed them that he
cannot find a fund anywhere about the Treasury
that he would be warranted In approprating to that
purpose. This announcement, IL is sail has created
some little confusion in the proceedings attending the
case, and all parties interested on the side CT the
prosecution have had their heads together for the
past day or two devising ways and means to over
come this financial obstacle II Is reported that the
President is good deal dissatisfied with Mr.. Mccall
looms conclusion, and 1t Is thought now that the
result OF the Cabinet deliberations to-day on this
question will be that the Secretary will succeed in
finding an odd balance that may be devoted to the
object Of exposing frauds on the revenue without
mourning the charge of Misrepresentation OF the public
funds. II has been suggested by some who have
kept themselves well advised in the pro-
gress OF this fraud examination that the
Secretary might probably raise a little
more material aid from the same source which
furnished the 50 900 already expended in behalf OF
the investigation 81, 900 Of which was paid soon
after proceedings were commenced and 81, 900 when
Judge Fullerton was brought into the case. Com.
missioner Rollins Is still pursuit OF the irrepres-
sible Buckley and brings against that officer one
charge upon another. He now urges the Secretary
to remove Buckley from office. the ground that
he has committed q serious breach of the Internal
Revenue law, which specifies that any officer of the
Int napo f,x,I,a
the existence of frauds upon the revenue and who
shall fail to report them Immediately to his superior
officer shall be liable to punishment by removal fine
and imprisonment The Commissioner charges
that Solicitor Buckley processes to know OF
the existence Of serious frauds upon the revenue and
has failed to comply with the law in not reporting
said frauds to the Commissioner. Buckley it is
derst0od arraigned before the Secretary this
grave charge, and defended himself successfully
that he has been honorably acquitted 1t is not like
ly therefore, that he will lose his Official head until
he has had sufficient time given him to rescue his
official reputation from danger by thorough expo
sition Of the dongs Of the mighty wskey ring which
permitted about $3O,Ooo,OOO Of tax whiskey to
reach the Treasury out OF about 5000 that was
due each year before the reduction was made last
session.
