The Tax on Pork Packers.


Special Despatch 20 The EUening Telegraph.
WAsmNeToN, Nov. 4.-The committee from
the Chambers of Commerce of the principal
cities, who are here relative to the tax on pork
packers as manufacturers, had an interview
with the Commissioner to-day. While the Com
missioner maintains that his decision is correct
that they should be taxed as manufacturers
under the law, he has decided to suspend the
collection of the tax until after the meeting of
Congress, leaving it to that body to take such
action as they deem proper.
southern Election Frauds.
The Subcommittee of Elections delegated to
proceed to South Carolina and investigate the
election frauds met here to-day, but found that
there was no money in the contingent fund to
defray their expenses. The Sergeant-at-Arms
of the House is endeavoring to raise the neces-
sary funds. If he succeeds, they will proceed
at once to the SOuth if not, they will aban-
don it.
The Paraguayan Difficulty.
The subcommittee on Foreign Affairs met
here this morning and continued the investiga-
tion of the Washburn- Paraguay difficulty. The
witnesses summoned to meet the COM
mittee here were General Mcmahon,
late Minister to Paraguay, and IL. G.
Worthington, late Minister to the Argentine Re-
public. General McMahoH's testimony related
principally to the manner in which he was
treated by Lopez, and the stories which he heard
from Lopez and his followers relative to the
conduct of Washburn while Minister to Para
quay.
1t came out pretty clearly that Washburn had
allowed himself to be made tool of the faction
opposed to Lopez and that there was cause for
Washburn S leaving Paraguay.
Carrying the Mails.
The committee appointed by the General Rail-
road Convention, at its recent session, to-day
called upon Postmaster-General Creswell to
urge him to recommend to Congress an in
creased maximum price allowed by law for
the transportion of mails by railroad companies
Under the law of 1855, the highest price that
can be paid for this service is 1915 per mile per
annum. Mr.. Creswell declined to commit him
self to the measure.
The committee was headed by John Hume, of
Philadelphia.

MORMONISM.
A Relic in Missouri.

From tie Hamilton (NO.) NelCs.
Recently visited the ruins of the ancient city of
the Latter Day Saints About thirty years ago the
Mormons took fOrcible possession of tract OF land
about two miles square, situated on the BLUFFS of
Grand river, in Daviess county, Missouri, intending
to erect temples Of worship etc. They laid out the
city of Diamond and in a short time had cOngre-
gated several hundred devotees. They subsisted by
depredations committed upon the people of the adj
jacen5 country. From the settlers who were co-eX-
istent with them we learn that the Mormons took
possession of the dwellings located within their
chosen spot of earth, and burned the dwellings of
those in immediate proximity to them. They pre-
tended that, through revelation made to then they
knew that to be the vertable Garden OF Eden; that
here repose the remains OF Adam. There are, in
deed, some striking pecullarities In this spot of
ground Of the chief products of which is an end
less amount of crab apples which to them, perhaps,
to the forbidden fruit" But of the city
thing but ruins remain. Their cemetery is now
cOTnfied.

FORGED AUTOGRAPHS. A man known by the
names OF William r. Emerson, Samuel r Hampton,
M. d., and other aliases, had a hearing before the
Mayor this afternoon upon the charge Of obtaining
moneys by false and fraudulent pretenses from citi
zens by means OF letters forged, purporting TO be
the original signatures and writings OF eminent men
of past ages. The evidence showed that he
would get hold OF original letter and trace copies
OF the same, then dipping them in coffee would
give color OF age to the letters. These he would
send to parties having libraries representing them
to be original, and asking them to purchase them,
the proceeds were for relatives of the writer who
were in destitute circumstances. The prices in
instances were over $50. In 1859 the prisoner was
arrested by Mayor Henry, but at that
time, was not prosecuted. lie then went
to Canada and wrote letters from this place in the
name OF Emma Hardinge lie then went to Balt-
more and from there to England, carrying on the
sale Of the autographs, whicn he represented to be
original In London and other places he was eX-
posed, but never brought to justice. The evidence
of Detective Franklin showed that Emerson had
made considerable money at his illegal business In
