well, who is still suffering from his broken

lated during the Presidents absence was

Numerous charges Of fraud upon the cus-
toms revenue have recently been preferred
against the Collector of New Orleans. As
the Collector, Mr. Casey, is the Presidents
brother-in law, the subject becomes one
somewhat delicate to handle; but Secre.

partially Investigated, and Collector Casey
dealt with acc )rdiagly.
The re cent statement that Commissioner
Delano has secretly given orders TO stop
the distillstion of spirits in New York
until further orders, is pronounced untrue
at the Revenue Bureau, 1t is believed
the recent activity of officers in New York
in ferretling out frauds led the offenders
against the law TO make the report.

GREY Collector Of Internal Revenue for
\ the 10th District Of Pennsylvania.

dealers in bulk meats or bacon or pork,
which are newly packed In salt, but not
marked, also rendered lard in q crude state
that they have the bacon or pork from the
original packers, smoke il and repack
some with their own trade mark and
some without il, in which condition it is
sold, and they sell none Of the pork aft'r
smoking without packing, and the Super
visor wants TO know whether such parties
are liable to tax under section 4, act OF
March 81, 1865. The Commissioner de-
cides such parties are engaged IN the pre-
paration Of lard ard bacon for sale, and
they put up these articles for sale in
packages with their own names and trade
marks on them, and are therefore liable
10 the tax imposed by the section 10 which
reference is made.
The official correspondence between the
agent Of the French Cable company and
the Secretary of State is published. The
Secretary, in reply to the agents commu-
nication that the cable company will accept
any terms that Congress may dictate, states
that upon such assurances no opposition
will be made TO the landing Of the cable
on the shores Of the United States.
Col. Louis Dent, in reply 10 cOmmu-
nicalion from Messrs. L. J. Duhord and
Geo. Mooreman, of Mississippi, says he
will accept the nomination Of Governor Of
Mississippi if rendered him by the Nation
q al Union Republican party Of that State.

Southern States restored with constitutions

Mississippi, had a cordial interview with
President Grant. He Eaid all classes were
heartily responding 10 Granite words, Let
us have peace" Grant expressed wish
10 have the 18th amendment ratified by
Mississippi.
Nothing has occurred 10 show that the
President will interfere in the coming
election in Mississippi, but he has ex,
pressed his determination that there shall
be a fair one. The District Commander
will accordingly appoint in each county OF
the STATE a board of registrars, compose
of one Radical, one conservative Repub'
lican and one army officer.

sent that the National or Conservative Re
publicans, similar TO the Walker party il
