10 that house. recently seized by the Treasury Depart
ment at the instance Of Collector Casey Of that port
The colossal importance Of the sugar frauds, alleged to
have been committed by Couterie Co.. with the conny
OF Perry Fuller and his subOrdnates while he was
Collector New Orleans well those pepetrated by
| other houses Will induce tho Department 10 give
| the matter serious attention. Official information
has been received here regarding them which Will be
made public at the proper time, and from which 1t
appears that gigantic rings successfully maintained
In the CusOmHouse during Fulers administration Tor
the purpose Of defTaudIng the Government 1t seems
that the Appraisers and Weghers the parties most
prominently implicated The evasion OF customs and
revenue taxes sugar not the only frauds perpe
trated by the people Of New Orleans. The Revenue
Bureau has received information that new assess.
ment OF the annual income return has been rendered
necessary the evident frauds committed in the returns
OF merchants and in fact almost the entire business COM
munity Of that city The total amount OF this kind OF
assessments returned to the Assessors foots up less than
100000 which is about oneenth the amount returned in
NewYork In fact hundreds Of prominent business men
in the North have returned and paid taxes larger
amount than that returned by tho entire City Of New
Orleans Supervisor COnkn has therefore ordered re-
assessment.
The meeting OF the Executive Committee, appointed
by tho recent Commercial Convention at Memphis which
during the present month"; promises to develop
something Of q political character. An agent Of prom
nent Chinese importing house will be present at the in
vaton the Committee, and will lay before them plans
for the importation OF COOle labor into all Of the South
States The object Of this movement evidently to
dpace the freedmen from their natural inheritance as
the abOrng class Of the South 1t therefore probable
that before long the blacks Of the South will be arrayed
against the Ceesals, the same as the white aborers OF
the Pacific coast.
