LIQUOR FRAUDS
N.u and Sensible Method Proposed for
w" their Suspension.

The United States grand jury, recently in
session in Chicago, upon the conclusion Of
their labors, submitted to the court the fol
lowing presentment relative to the manner
in which the revenue laws are executed by
the government officials in this district, to-
rether with resolution making certain
suggestions as to the Legislative action by
congress. Both we're unanimously adopted
It will be remembered that Judge Drum
mond called the attention Of the grand jury
to the subject of violations Of the revenue
laws, 10 a special charge given upon their
being impaneled, and this prosentment may
be considered as the response Of the jury to
the observations Of the court:
THE PREsENTVEST.
To the Hon. Thomas Drummond, Judge Of
the United States District Court for the
Northern Distric! Of Illinois:
We, the grand Jurors in said court, would
respectfully report to your honor that we
have been in session almost continuously
since Jan. 4, 1869, and that we have found
bills Of indictment against upward Of fifty
parties for offences against the laws Of the
United States.
That. although we have devoted large
portion of our time to tracing up many and
enormous frauds perpetrated upon the reve'
nue. Of the United States by the owners Of
distilleries and other establishments from
which revenues are collected aud by others
in confederation with them, the grand jury
have failed to find bills, for want Of evi.
| dence, which we believe ought to have been
| furnished US by the government officers in
charge OF such distIierics and other estab.
lishmeuts in this district.
1t has been proved before the grand jury
that large and continuous fraudulent ship.
ments Of hiRhwines aud other property
have been made from time to time, under
fictitious names, such as -four, lard, timothy
seed, vinegar, meat in bulk, and sundries-
during the time when these officers were il
charge OF the establishment from which
said shipments we're made.
1t Is also in proof that many shipment
of this kind were made Of hiQhwines prop
erIy branded according to law as hayiuI
fully paid the government TAX.
The grand jury believe, from tho evidence
that such shipments could not have bee
made without the co operation Of said off
GERS, nor without the cooperation Of railroa
employees.
! The grand Jury have also received salts
factory evidence in support Of the PROPOSE
ton that material and considerable fraud
have been perpeirated upon the government
by the action Of officers authorized to com
promise and settle cases Of violation Of thu
revenue laws. The grand jury have failec
to find true bills ia such cases for want o
proof that might have been presented if the
government officers, having cognizance o
the same, had performed their full duty il
the premises.

PROFESSIONAL CoMPLIMESTs.-l
i sell known to the unfortunates who
need the ser-ices of a physician, that
the veriest trifle in the shape Of a med
zeal prescription costs the modest sum
of one dollar There is a story current
in our town that one Of our physicians
recently had this popularity Of his pro
fassion brought home to him in a man
ner both positive and unexpected. 1t
seems that the doctor was called by n
certain blacksmith To examine his wife 5
arm, which needed remedies for a local
ailment. He made hurried examina-
ton. wrote out prescription, and told
his patient TO send it to Browns drug
store. where it would be put up for them
The blacksmith asked the amount Of his
bill. and was informed that it was one
dollar. \ short time after, the doctor
W Sncu I'D nav = HIS HDISc Hbt> It-Sct. anu
went to the blacksmith for that pur-
pose. The blacksmith lifted one of the
fore feet examined it, and informed
the doctor that the shoes weretoo small.
aud That he would write a prescription
(Which he proceeded to do) which he
could take to Buck & Toan's hardware
store. and get the proper size; for which
service his bill would be one dollar. The
Doctor paid it, but does not like to have
the subject referred to. The black
smith was right There Is no good rea-
son why majority Of our so-called
physicians should receive any more for
their time thsn blacksmith or any
other mechanic.
