iIibernian Hall quite ausplciously. The house,
though not crowded, was well filed ahd everys
body was pleased with the great improvements
WHICH have been made In the stage and ts .ap.
polntments, since the hall was last used for tlra-
matte purposes The removal Of the side doors
has given very respectable width to the stage
front, and the footltghts, heretofore an unsghtly
obstruction to the view, have been countersunk
AMI hidden from the sight OF the audience. The
scenery Is altogether new, and exceedingly hantl-
some rs compared with the wretched daubs
which last winter formed the background to
every performance; and the proscenum decora-
tlons constitute a rich framework for the mellow
hues OF the Italian water-vicw. which forms the
drop curtain. Altogether the new stage arrange
ments are very satisfactory, and reflect infinite
credit on the committee OF gentlemen who had
them. In charge The committee, we believe, con.
sisted OF the President, Secretary and Treas asurer
OF the Iii,crnian Society, with the Chairman OF

INTERNAL REVENUE.


Supervisor Dutcher's Department..
The most important ofnce under the Internal Rev.
law is perhaps, that OF Supervisor Of the first
thirteen Congressional districts, which come under
the direction ana supervision of Mi. s. b. butcher
whose Office is at No. 65 Liberty street. The territory
over which MFR. butcher holds sway is large and
the duties very often become quite laborious, and
would be exceedingly trying to any man not possess
ing the physique and endurance OF the present In
cumbent. Mr.. butchers district embraces the coun-
ties Of Richmond, Suffolk, Queens and Kings, New
York, westchester, Putnam. Duchess Columbia,
Green, Ulster, orange, Rockland and Sullivan.
His powers are entirely Of q supervisory charac-
ter, and his duties are defined in section forty
saws that the supervisor shall keep his ONCE at some
convenient place in his district, to be designated by
books. papers and accounts, ana to administer the
oath; 70 summon parties and to compel them TO ap-
pear before him. to testify In the same manner that
suspend from duty any gauger, inspector or
storekeeper, and to suspend the collector
abuse Of bower. He is also authorized to examine
the books and accounts OF the assessors and col
lectors Of his district. When MT. butcher came into
day there are but three in the whole district which
seenA' BEEN no WI seizures in thus branch Of the the
Internal Revenue Department save In one
sr Sss ana ne tSen
released, when Mr.. butcher had to reseze 1t him
self by virtue OF hts authority. The Supervisor
states that he has been occupied for some days In
gathering testimony In regard to officers connected
with the department, which he Is not ct liberty to
lay before the public at the present time; but
when the proper opportunity presents itself he win
do He has not vet gathered any statistical facts,
his duties being manly directed to the adminisra
tion OF the different of1ces under his control He
has reason to believe there Will be no distllleries
running In his district now, and there cannot be
any large quantity OF whskey manufactured un-
I'll the price advances. While there are so few
distilleries running In this city, Philadelphia has
now thirty-seven In full blast, some OF which are
right under the noses or the authorities there Mr..
butchers operations performed In q secret man
ner and may, therefore, be said to be branch OF
the secret service bureau. He pounces on delin-
quents here and there and everywhere, and throws
them into dismay before they know anything about
