RICHMOND TOBACCO MEN CHARGED WITH
DEFRAUDISG THE GovERNMEST.-There is
plenty of work in store for the new bosom
which President Grant has put in action
among dealers in those two public sources
Of fraud-whiekey and tobacco. From re-
cent Investigations made by Collector Shook
it would seem as if regular conspiracy
were in existence between parties in this
city and Richmond TO cheat Uncle fam out
of his revenues. It is a pretty clearly I'M
derstood fact that by ring arrangement
which the initiated at Richmond only
know too well how to work, many dealers
in New York are enabled to get their stock
and sell it at rates which drive honest COM
petitors from the market.
The latest dodge is that practiced by L.
W. Painter, Of the former city, who ships
plug tobacco to New York as "tobacco
stems" The manufacturers Of this to-
bacco, in order to mislead the Government
officers and to shield their factory, put the
factory number Of James G. Dill, prcmi-
nent manufacturer of Richmond, On the
boxes, as section 81 Of the act Of July 20,
1868, requires that every wooden package
containing tobacco shall have the manufac-
turer's or proprietor's name and number OF
the factory legibly marked upon it.
The matter will, Of course, undergo pro-
per legal examination for the purpose of
fastening the fraud upon the proper par
ties.-Nep York Commercial, 18th. -

EARTH DRESSING FOR WoUNDs.-To the
Editor of the Tribune: Sir,-I notice you
recently quoted from the Post an article by
MIR. Warning giving the value of dry earth
as dressing for wounds and ugly sores.
l have many times treated purulent conta-
gious opthalmia with dressings or poultices
made only of wet clay dug from cold
springs. By binding it on the eyes at
night, in as large quantity as q pint, it Of
ten acts like charm. Its first effects are
to reduce the Inflammation, but it soon be-
comes dry and hard, and then absorbs, like
dry earth, any poisonous matter that is Sc
creted By the inhamed parts, preventing it
from doing further injury. This remedy
was suggested TO me years ago by an old
man who never knew anything about the
regular practice of medicine, and have
seen it work SO well that believe it to be
worth careful trial.
