ImpOrtant Opinion.

Washington dispatches of the twenty
third to the Associated Press transmit the
following opinion:
The Solicitor of the Treasury, in long
opinion, holds that where parties act under
a decision of the Commissioner of Revenue
they are not liable should the Judiciary de-
partment subsequently override the com
mssioner's decision. This defeats the claim
of the government FOR a tax on bonds, cOu-
pons and dividends for five months, be-
tween September, 1870, and January, 1871
where officers of corporation, under the
commissioners decision, failed to withhold
the tax.
The opinion holds that in withholding tax
the officers of corporations act as agents of
the government, and are equitably respon-
sible for the legality Of the commissioner 5

BREACH OF TRUST AND EMBEzzLEMENT.-
John Cardno, No. 24l Front Levee street,
broadly asserts that on the ninth day of
February last he intrusted one hundred
and eighty dollars to Mrs. Seibert, corner
OF Gaiennie and Front Levee streets; that
on the twentieth of March she returned
fifteen dollars of the amount, but on the
second Of May she totally denied having a
dollar of atlantis money. This denial
aggravated Mr.. Cardno, and he so re
marked, but like law-abiding man, did
not hesitate to make an affidavit, which
caused her arrest. She will be arraigned
before Recorder Houghton on the twenty
seventh

LEvEE. SINKING - Threatened Disaster
Near French Market.-The levee between
Dumaine and st. Philip streets looked
shaky yesterday morning, showing signs
that an undermining had occurred. Two
railroad tracks are near the levee at this
point, and trains were run slowly after the
discovery, as there was palpable settling
OF the ground close the roadbeds. Work
men were at once employed to watch and
strengthen the roads, and trains made the
usual trips during the day. The worst
place is between posts thirteen and fourteen,
where it appears as if the bottom had partly
dropped out or been washed away. The
wharf does not seem to- have settled more
than two or perhaps four inches and is still
secure. Twenty years ago break in the
levee not far from the French market,
about two hundred above the present lOca-
ton, threatened to wash out that entire
neighborhood. 1t is thought that the worst
is past, and that the slide will not increase.
A BOLD BURGLARY-G0pherS at Work.-
During Sunday night, between twelve and
one o'clock, some of the fraternity termed
gophers in thieves parlance, went for the
pawn shop and jewelry store of Mr.. Destez,
No. Is st. Charles street, an attractive
point for burglars. Applying their efforts
to rear window they successfully removed
bar of iron which had prevented an
entrance. Entering, they proceeded to dis
place an iron door, when the way was clear
for active operations. A large safe in the
main room usually contains considerable
wealth, in money and fine jewelry, and had
the burglars succeeded in ravishing this
they would have suddenly grown rich.
For some unknown reason the fellows alb
ruptly broke off proceedings, and adjourned
sine die. The police discovered the at
tempt soon after the gophers fed, and a
patrolman was placed on guard. This job
was undoubtedly the work of burglar for
it was very hazardous undertaking. but
then the reward of a successful issue
would have been sufficiently large to retire
the perpetrators into an honest living A
portion of the villainOus tools were left
behind.
Last evening a patrolman arrested a lad
called Bill Adams for disturbing the peace
on Perdido street and drawing a revolver
on another boy. Arriving at the first pre-
cinct stationhouse, he was searched, and on
him were found GLACIERS diamonds, a re-
volver some scarf pins and other articles,
which had been stolen from the store No.
Is st. Charles street. Adams is a boot
black, usually found in front of the store,
and was we'll acquainted with the premises.
When questioned about the revolver, he
said that gentleman had given it to him
to have repaired, and that was about all
he could say for himself. Captain Schneider
charged him with having committed the
burglary. If the charge is not correct, it is
probably nearly so. As accused is not
very old offender; it is thought he may di-
vulge the secret.
