at Peurto Principe. The cavalry was fearful

Baseenes succeeded in pressing on, and
had another severe encounter with the in

The business Prosnect.

We enter upon the second spring month
with prospects, as regards city trade and
the general business Interests of the coun-
try, by no means so discouraging as some
are wont to believe-and while not so
cheerful as persons of an over-sanguine
temperament, perhaps, are prone to repre-
sent, still with such reasonable degree of
healthful activity all around as leaves but
little opportunity for croakers or crOaking.
The bulletin trade reviews in this days
issue, we may say, present a comprehen-
sive view of the whole situation: and, ac-
cepting facts as they are, we see nothing in
them not indicative of steady, if slow, re-
covery from the inherited influence of the

not yet wholly exempt.-NelO York BuL-

The Excitement About Bald Mountain.
a correspondent of the EEpositor writes
about Bald Mountain as follows:
Bald Mountain. The excitement in
regard to this mountain is decreasing, and
the opinion generally received is that
there has been undue exaggeration in re-
gard to the quaking of the mountain. A
great many have visited the scene of ac-
ton and report that they did not find
as much fire as they expected" Anthem
ticated testimony says there is cave in
the above mountain, which has never been
explored to its full extent yet. They never
have been able to find any termination to
it. An effort was made once to explore
the cave, but the bats were so numerous as
to eXtinguish the lights, and consequently
the idea was abandoned. Some have ad-
vanced the theory that that cave is the
cause OF all this shaking of the mountain.
The bats must be pretty well grown.
Wanted. A hotel on or near Bald Noun

seekers, as they have literally eaten one
man "out of house and home " already"
Can't some man be found who will go to
the rescue of that poor fellow?

The Tennessee Valley, above and below

South. A number of them are about
Knoxville, each one usually taking about
one.fourth of an average Tennesseean's IS

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
Close VOte---Probably no Election by
the People.

HARTFORD, CONN, April G-2:9O p. NJ
It is impossible to give anything definite
about the result Of the election. The
weather is fine and travelling good, but the
vote will not be heavy one. In this city
it is probable the Democratic majority will
be from four to five hundred for Governor,
but there is chances of the election of q
Republican Mayor. The Prohibition vote
in the State will be much larger than last
year. Advices to-day show that the Pro-
hibitiouists are working hard in several To-
calites.
1t is generally thought that there will be
no election of Governor by the people.

Frauds in Neutrality-suspicious. Lost to the
Government
From Correspondence of the New York Journal Of
Commerce.

Commerce.
WASHINGTON, March 2G.-There APP
pears, from discoveries just made, to be in
operation stupendous system of defraud-
ing the revenues, whereby the government
is losing at the rate of several million dol
lars year, and honest distillers and
dealers in spirits are in danger of being
driven out of business. 1t appears that the
chief points at which the-frauds are COM
mitted are st. Louis, Mo. Evansville, Ind,
and Milwaukee, Chicago, First District of
Kentucky, and Peoria, Ill. The charges
are that there are only two or three Illicit
places at each of these points and the dis
tillers who pay tax regularly and honestly
are anxious to assist the government in
roofing them out, because their interests
and the governments are the same. Many
of the distillers say that unless the govern
ment takes prompt measures, honest dis
tillers will soon be forced out of business,
and on all hands it is recognized that the
frauds now being perpetrated are stupen-
dous. From certain collection districts
there have recently been shipped large
quantities of spirits upon which it is evil
dent that q portion of the taxes have been
evaded. These goods are always marketed
with a rectifier's stamp and consists mainly
of two classes. There are, as alleged, raw
highwines, reduced to proof, and generally
branded " Burbon," with rectitier's brand
and stamp, although not rectified good in
fact.
The second class of fraudulent goods
coming on the Eastern market is lone
stamped ALCOHOL In this the fraud If some
what less glaring, is equally apparent
on examination, being even more danger
Gus because more specous, and requires
careful and prompt action.
