REVENUE OFFICERS ENFORCING
THE LAW.
Heavy Seizures of Tobacco, and n
Raid On Illicit DistiIleries In the
Seventh Tannesses District.

Pursuant to Geographic instructions from
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, of
The 18th inst, Capt. VIM. A. GaVett, Reve-
nue. agent for Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana, supervised
the transfer of the collectors Office seventh
district, Huntingdon, Tennessee, and in
stalled in Office the newly appointed col
lector, DR.. A. III. Hawkins. Several
months having elapsed since the former
collector, Frank Travis, absconded, and
there being no Selling officer IN the district,
frauds on the revenue had assumed quite
formidable proportions, therefore Revenus
Agent Gavett called to his assistance col
leetor Hawkins, assessor R. F. Haun, and
the other local revenue officers in that dis
trict, together with deputy United States
Marshals Alice and McDougal from Mem
phis,and made tour of inspe ction through
the district on horseback.
In the 9th civil district of Benton county
they suppressed large Illicit distiliery,
operated by VIM. Landlord, Alex. Ramsey,
Thos. Culpepper and Jno. McFadden, The
three latter were arrested, sent to Memphis,
and in default of bond placed in Jail to
await trial at the May term of the United
States Court. The two copper stills and
whisky were seized and taken to Hunting
don, and large quantity of mash and beer
destroyed.
Another illicit dstillery, not so large as
the first, was suppressed, but as The parties
evsded arrest, their names are withheld.
Tobacco mandatory No. q, on the
farm of John A. Burton, eighteen miles
from Paris, Henry county, operated in the
name of bis son, W. I. Burton, with 1O2
boxes (6, 120 fbs.) plug tobacco, 3,9Oo ieai
tobacco, ETC., valued at about $1,000, were
seized and the two Burtons arrested and
held to bond in the sum of $500 each for
their appearance at the May term OF the
United States Court at Memphis.
The cause for the seizure of the above
| tobacco factory is the use of counterfeit,
| fraudulent and spurious stamps.
The officers beng unable to discover any
other frauds, returned yesterday to their
respective headquarters and seem determ-
ined to protect the interests Of honest
| manufacturers and dealers as we'll as secure
the collect ion of the Government revenue.

THE SWISS COLONY.

Through the kindness of Mr.. Peter
Staub, we had the pleasure OF meeting with
General Htz, the Swiss Consul, who has
lust returned from Grundy county, whittier
he had been accompanying party OF i'm
migrants. He reports the colony IN
hourishing condition, there being now
from 90 to Is families residing there. The
party which passed through our city few
DAYS since was composed Of about forty
persons, apd mostly of the weather. class
Of immigrants, one of them, Mr.. Marugg,
being the former Mayor OF Khosters, a
city IN the eastern portion of Switzsrland.
He saws the present unsettled condition IN
regard to titles is great disad-
vantage to the State, as it will, uu-
less a better law is passed, keep many
men of capital away. The General at
present carries back with him to Washing
ton $1,000, which a man had brought to
Gruudy county for the purpose OF putting
in operation saw mill. But after having
selected a site he failed to get title salts
factory to his mind, aad consequently sends
that much capital again out OF our State.
Should the present law remain unchanged
the man viii doubtless follow his capital.
He saws that with little effort on the part
of the State authorities, rich tide OF emil
grafton can be turned into Tennessee from
Switzerland. The word Tennessee has
found its way into the mouths OF the Swiss
people, while the whole of Switzerland
feels faYorably inclined towards this State,
and let them once be assured Of good titles,
men of wealth and influence viii come
over and make Tennessee their uture
home. The General showed as map OF
Grundy county, and descriptive circular
which he has bad prepared at his own and
Mr.. Peter Staub's expense for circulation In
Switzerland, and be assures us that but
COMPARATIVELY few of the future
Swiss immigrants will fail to make
Tennessee, and particularly East
Tennessee, their future home. We are
glad that General Hitz takes so deep an In
terest in the future welfare of our State,
feeling, however, as be feels, that in help
ing us be is favoriDg and helping his own
people. In his efforts, we would here state
be is ably seconded by Mr.. Peter Ssauo,
who first induced him to visit this State,
feeling confident that if he had once seen
our natural advantages he could not help
tut be favorably impressed. We hope that
all diff culties in regard TO titles will be re-
moved by the present Legislators, when we
win soon find our State filed with wealthy
immigrants. The General took look over
our city yesterday, and expressed himself
very much pleased with it. he spoke in a
complimentary and fattering manner efths
future prospects Of Knoxville, as portrayed
to his mind By its present thrifty appear
auce. We will hope that his prognostics-
lions will be fully veri6ed.-KnoruiLIe

The decrease in rents and privileges of
$19, 1877, is owing to the fact that there
has been no balance due US for the use of
our rolling stock upon the Nashville and
Northwest Railroad.
The decrease in our freight earnings Of
S33 ,200.l9, is attributable to the inability
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad to
move promptly South bound cars from
Chattanooga. Their Resaca bridge was
burned onthe Sth day of January last, and
since that date there has been a constant
blockade at Chattanooga, and at times they
have had as many as five hundred South
bound cars at that point.
We have two hundred more cars and ten
more engines, and more business offering
than last season, and yet our freight earn
ings have decreased S33, 20019, on account
of the failure of the Western aud Atlantic
Railroad to move cars from Chattanooga.
The receipts and expenditures of the
Nashville and Northwestern Railroad for
eight months ending Feb. %, were as fol-
lows.
