NEW ORLEANS.
The VindicatiOn Of the Integrity of
the Revenue Laws Ends I'm n Fir

New YORK, December ga CORE
spondent writes from New Orleans on the
ID, that on that morning, in the United
States Court, Judge Durell, presiding,
United States District Attorney J. K.
Bretwith called up the case of Perry
Fuller, ex-Collector of New Orleans,
against whom nineteen indictments had
been found by the Grand Jury for fraud
ultnt entries Of sugar and coffee during
his term of office, the civil cases tried
last year resulting in every case in a
verdict of confiscation against the con-
signees, August f. Contourie y Go.
The whole amount involved was some
millions Of dollars. The cases have
been compromised in Washington by
the payment of the duties, but criminal
charges against the officers Of customs,
through whose active connivance the
frauds were perpetrated, remained on
the docket. The United States District
Attorney endeavored to bring these to
an issue. The result is seen. Perry
Fuller was called twice on his bond
10 appear. His sureties, Alexander NJ.
Mcdonald, United States Senator from
Arkansas, and Z G. Ross, United
States Senator from Kansas, were then
called upon to bring the body OF Fuller
into court. They waited TO make an
swer. District Attorney Beckwith moved
for an aiias capias, stating that the
bonds were taken to Washington and
seemed TO be very imperfect, if not
worthless. The order was made. Wad-
dy Thompson, against whom charges Of
a similar character had been found,
WAS then called on and also failed to
appear. District Attorney Beckwith
stated that the bond Of the accused had
been stolen at Memphis. Thompson
had been several times arrested
at Memphis, near which city he
owns magnificent plantation, but has
always been released by obliging the
courts on a writ of kabeaS corpus. The
correspondent after the citing OF thir-
teen cases found against Fuller and his
associate, to illustrate the henious ma
ture of the charges, says The prosecu-
ton OF these cases in the civil courts
will cost the government at least slOo-
900, and after confiscation had been de-
creed, in every case, compromise has
been effected by the simple payment OF
duties, which the party is willing to pay
from the first. The main argument
on trial was that it was the
officers of the United States
Custom House who were really the
guilty offenders. These have been
released on straw bail or at least upon
informal recognizances and thus this
much vaunted vindication of the integ-
rity Of the revenue laws ends in costly
tizzle. There is big mouse in the
meal tub somewhere, and more than
two United States Senators together
with distinguished Congressman from
Indiana could probably give informa
ton on the subject.
