Commissioner Delano has received let
ter from Supervisor Bloomfield, in this state,
showing that Tszewell county, for the
year ending Sept. 28, 1868, paid revenue
tax Of $4,000 fro,n all sources, and for
the year ending Sept. 20, 1869, paid tax
Of $5ls, 900. During the former year, all
the dis,illeries in Pekin we're run most Of
the time, and the tax for the greater part Of
that period was 81 per gallon. During the
past year only one dis,illsry was run con
,inuously, and it alone paid tax of $685..
600, being more than the whole county paid
the previous year, thus illustrating that the
81 tax Was itself premium for fraud aud
dishonesty upon the government.
