NEW ORLEANS.
The CustOmhousc Frauds-Trfal OF
Perry Fuller

| 1Ae CuNtOinnOuSc kfau0s-EFIAh u
Perry Fuller.
NEW YORK, Dec. "a correspondent
writes from New Orleans on the I'd, that
on that morning, in the United States
Court, Judge Dwerell presiding, United
STATES District Attorney,J s.R. Beckwith,
called up the case of Percy Fuller, ex-
| Collector of New Orleans, against whom
nineteen indictments had been found by
the grand jury for fraudulent entries of
sugar and coffee during his term of Of
| fee.
The civil cases we've tried last year, re-
| sultlng in every case in the verdict of con-
fiscation against the consignees, August
E. Contourie & Co. The whole amount
involved was some million of dollars.
The cases have since been compromised
in Washington by the payment of the
duties, but the criminal charges against
! the officers of customs through whose ac-
tive connlvance the frauds were perpe-
hated, remained on the docket. The
United States Attorney endeavored to
bring these to an issue. The result is
seen. Perry Fuller was called twice on
his bond and failed to appear. His
sureties, Alexander NJ Mcdonald, United
States Senator from Arkansas, and f. G.
Ross, United States Senator from Kansas,
were then called upon to bring the body of
Perry Fuller into court. They failed TO
make answer. District Attorney Beck
with moved for an alias caplas, stating
that the bonds were taken in Washington
and seemed tie be very imperfect if not
worthless.
The Case of Waddy Thompson.
Waddy Thompson, against whom in
dictments of similar character had been
found, was then called on his bail and
also failed to appear. District Attorney
Beckwith stated that the bond of the aC-
cused had been stolen at Memphis.
Thompson had been several times arrested
at Memphis, near which city ne has a
magnificent plantation, but has always
been released by obliglng courts on writs
of habeas corpus.
How Uncle Sam Compounds with
Crime.
The correspondent after ewing one of
thirteen cases found against Perry Fuller
and associates, to illustrate the heinous
nature of the charges, says the prosecu-
tions of these cases in the Circuit Courts,
cost the Government 500, 900, and af-
ter cCnfiscation had been decided in every
case, a compromise has been effected by
the simple payment of the duties which
the party was willing to pay from
the first. The main argument on trial
was that it was officers of the United
States Cust0mhouse who were really
guilty offenders. They have been released
on straw bail, or at least, upon informa-
recognisances, and thus this much vSunt
ed viDdication of the integrity of the
revenue laws ends in a costly fizzle.
There is mouse in the mealh0u5e some
where, and United States Senators to-
gether with distinguished Congressman
from Indiana, could probably give nfOr-
nation on the subject.

figate, who have nothing and no prospects
ahead, are preparing to 90 to Nashville or
some other town or city-and failing in

finally land in the Penitentiary, to learn

condition that all the criminals go with it.
l cannot omit to mention one of the
most happy occasions that we have had
in this locality for many years. 1t was the
marriage of Mr.. VIM. Cheairs and Miss
Mary L. Pointer, daughter of Sam. Poin-
ter, Esq. The marriage took place at the
residence of the brides father, and a re-
ception was given at the residence of the
groom's father on Wednesday evening.
The company comprised some of the fair
est daughters and gallant Sons of Giles,
Maury and Williamson, with a sprinkling
of besux from your city. The hospitality
of the host and hostess was entirely s1mp-
tuous, and the good cheer was accomps-
MED with dancing, wit and humor of the
highest order. The ladies' were dressed in
the beauties Of the latest fashions, which,
with their lovelinees and intelligence,
made the scene a very brilliant one, in
which the bride and groom shone re-
splendent. If you had had a Jenkins here
he would have mentioned Miss p. of
Maury. and Miss P. Of Giles, and Misses
B. of Maury and Miss B. of Maury as re-
splendent, and host of others, each and
all as bright particular stars, ETC., etc
But Jenkins wasn't present, and all that
can be said is that it Y as a magnificent sf-
fair. r. E.

THE HAPPY FAMILY.
A Lively Scene i'm the Radical Sena-
tOrial Caucus.

tOriaI Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Dec. SIT has been
stated by a Radical Senator that the
President had declared that it seemed 10
him unfair that one of the principal COM
mittees of the Senate, that on foreign re-
lations, should be so Organized asto be
sgsinst one of the most important ques
tons of the administrations foreign
policy. An attempt was made in the
Republican caucus this morning to re-
model it by displacing Mr.. Patterson and
appointing Mr.. Conkling, as a strange
counter-irritant to Mr.. Summers we'll
known opposition to the San Domingo
annexation scheme. Although Mr.
Conkling voted against 1t at the last SIS
sion, 1t is said that he now supports the
new plan of annexation proposed in the
message, ard hence the contemplated
change. Mr.. Sumner fared up at once
and very warmly denounced the proceed
ing as a censuTe on the past action of his
committee. Mr.. Wilson took the same
view. The caucus committee said that
Mr.. Patterson had been given the
Craftsmanship of the District Committee,
which was compensation for the
change. Mr.. Sumner did not agree TO
that. Mr.. Patterson, he said, desired to
remain with the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and the change looked like an at
tempt 10 pack the committee in advance
in favor of San Domingo. The debate at
this point became very excited, Senators
Morton aud Chandler stepping forward
and warmly defending the change. MIR.
Trumbull thought it was a small matter
to produce such an excited discussion,
and counseled moderation and harmony
between Republican Senator's themselves
and with the administration. MIR. Wilson
said that Mr.. Patterson felt aggrieYed a.
the reported change, and desired to re-
main, for personal reasons, on his old
committee, and he (WilsOn) therefore
moved to recommiL the subject to the
Caucus Committee, with instructions to
report the old Foreign Relations Commit
tee. Mr.. Patterson here jumped up and
said he did not propose to take single
crumb from the administration through
the hands of Mr.. Chandler. Wilson S
motion was carried by two to one, and
subsequently the CAUCUS resssembled, re-
ceived the report, ratified it, and after
ward the whole list of committees was
reported in open Senate and adopted
