WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-The witnesses
in the Hodge defAuicssion case will be sum
monsd before the Grand Jury to-day. As-
sistant Adi iusant GanerAl Whippie left here
to-day Tor Fort McHsnry, where he will
serve the charges of dsfAulcatIon upon
Hodges. The Secretary of War will des
ignsse, during the present week, for the
court martial, officers o: high rank The
whole thing will probably be q farce.
Hodges only took 100000, which is
enough to buy mp all prosecution. Major
Hodge has served too long an apprentice
| ship in Radic&lism TO be punished.
Supervisor Perry, of North Carolina, has
seized four tobacco factories in that State
for evasion of the revenue. 1t ia the in

Revenue to rapidly enforce the revenue
laws throughout the south. Complaints are
constantly received at the Treasury De

that section of the country.
The Secretary Of the Treasury will, on
bis return, Thursday, order the Board of
| Supervising Inspectors of Steamboats, to
convene in this city without delay, in order
to more thoroughly carry out the intention

The action of Tidsn, the chairman of the
democratic state committee, is aimed at the
destruction of the ring.
The attempt of the Hall cheokmats will
probably result in q crisis con cerning which
il is impossible to speculate.
The Herald publishes letters from Mayor
Hall, in which the Mayor removes Comp
troler Connolly and appoints Gen. Nc
Clelian in his place. The latter has not
accepted, holding back until the comp
troller acts on the mayors letter OF dis
