CO.-FRorOsED NOTIFICATIONS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUNE.I
WASHINGTON, March l9-The further cOnsidera-
tion Of the question of moieties was resumed this
moIuIug before the Committee of Ways and Means.
Judge Noah Davis appeared and began an eXplana-
ton in regard to his connection as asDistrictAttOmey,
with the case Of Phelps, Dodge d Co. Ie also said
that the principal difficulty from the peculiar
operation of the law, by which a person was re-
CURED give in his invoice the value of the goods
lie imported at the time and place Of shipment
unless they were exported by the owner,
IN which case he must give the con
tact Price, if higher than the market
value, at the time Of the shipment. The Government
bal probably received Il considerably large sum Dy
over valuations from Phelps, Dodge d Co. than II
lad lost by under valuations; but notwithstanding
THE the entire amount Of the invoices in which any
item was undervalued, was forfeited. He further
stated that IL necessary. i'll order TO understand
the merits Of this case. to keep clearly in view the
distinction between legal and actual fraud. The
law IN the penalties which it inflicted made no
difference between persons who had unintentionally
violated il and those who had violated it with in-
tent 10 defraud the Government.
He commented upon one case which District
Attorney Bhss said had been twice decided by juries
il favor Of the Government, and subsequently, the
penalty had been remitted by the Secretary of the
IIeasury Mr. Davis SAID that in the first trial the
Government was represented by an assistant, the
defendant having no counsel and the jury disagree
ing Tie second time it was argued by himself for
the Government and by able counsel for the
defendant, but the jury were instructed by the
Judge hat they must ind for the Government on
tie facts admitted, as there had been legal fraud.
As there was no fraudulent intent the Secretary
very properly remitted the judgment.
Tomorrow morning Mr. Davis viii be examined
by the Committee in regard to the working Of the
law aud two notifications proposed by him-frst,
that the actual vaue at the time Of shipment should
III all cases be the invoice price, second, that the
jury in any case before the court should decide
whether any actual fraud had been committed, or
only technical violation Of the law, without any
guilty intent. In the former the verdict of the jury
% be final, without any power of remission by the
HecTetaTy Of the Treasury in the other such power
10 be gwen to him.

IN THE fAlL.

The dear old year is in the wanc,
The tender year is growing late:
oh. hearts that love. nll things are vain
How shivery standing g, the gate
The chill wind wanders from the north,
The frost has stripped the forests bare,
And lonely looks the lonesome earth,
And flannel clothing we must wear.
White in the early morning lie
The frosted paths: souls that aspire
With longing look for things more high
oh, how about that morning fire.
The sun declines toward tho line.
And days grow .ahori and gricf' grows
long,
Our wrcath- Of faded howcrs we twine--
And put on boots both stout and strong
How tender and how passing sweet
The days when caves were bri gh. and
green
But now these leaves arc meath our feet
We've laid our winter parsneps in.
But hew we miss the gentle flowers
That frightened the long summer moons!
The sad mind turns TO future hours
And heavier coats and pantaloOns.
The summer ewes with -mooul Ugh, grnV.
What tender VOWS have they heard told
10 last forever and alway-
But now the parlurs awful cold.
The old dead life Of summer time
For long remembrance doth it plead
