The Davenport, Iowa, Gazette says
Now comes very interesting supplc'
ment to the business in which dozen
or so of the women in wilton engaged
in on the night of the 18th of April,
when tn ey smashed tho windows and
broke down the doors of the house OF
Mr.. Elias Corey, SO as to get at the per
son of his daughter Ella, girl of six
teen years, who was treated TO q coat
of tar and feathers by them, when her
father was absent in Nebraska. To be
sure, she had company that night, val
oious young men, who fed when The
lacies entered the house.
Mr.. Corey returned to his home last
Thursday. He found every window
open as before the glass anu sash were
put ia place, the duors broken down
and the posts and sills thereof hacked
as if with strokes of an axe or hatcket.
His wife was not there, his undutitui
daughter had driven her away his
daughter was not there, women of Will
ton had driven her away; the home was
desolate and uninhabitahle. He found
his wife and children and provided for
them.
He came to Davenport, and found his
elder daughter in the house of poor
but respectable colored woman whom
she knew years ago and whose humble
home was the only place on earth she
knew of in which she could find shelter
and care. She knew she had done
wrong for she had relatives in Daven-
port to whom she did not wish TO 60
on account of her shame. A poor,
| motherless girl of sixteen, with father
hundreds of miles away, she had fallen
into wicked ways and had been driven
from home by women who ought to
have tried to rescue, before punishing
her.
A suit for damages has been entered
| in the Circuit Court of Mascatine coun-
ty. 1t is entitled Ella NJ. Corey, by
Elias Corey, her next friend, VS.. Mrs.
John Wiley, Mrs. Edmund Anderson,
Mrs. Elizabeth Adds, Mrs. Elizabeth
Moore, Mrs Richard Porter, Mrs. Char.
lotte Paxon, Mrs. Ellen Kcan, Mrs.
Edward Carleton, Mrs. Eliza Bentley,
Mrs. II, w. Scott, Miss Kate Wiley and
three other ladies, whose names will
appear in the petition in due time, but
are now unknown.
Inc parties named were IeCO8nlZeu
as being participants In the assault on
the plaintiff-with hands of violence
and with tar and feathers. The plain
tiff sues for $50, COO damages, The Pc
tition has it after the assault the defen.
dants bade her leave the town, and
two Of them led her from the house to
the street, she clad in her thin under.
garments-the night was very cold
, and conducted her for some distance
from the house; then, needing her ap-
peals for mercy, and her tears, they al.
lowed her to go back to her home for
warm clothes, and left her to her fate
with her tar and feathers and window
less home.
There is another suit against defend
ants above named. 1t is brought by
D EliasCorey, father of Ella, who petitions
3 same court for the recovery of 81 ,00t
for damages done his property. Tht
girl Ella is now with her father at Will

WILMINGTON. DEL. MAYz. 1875.
Tho m N, n,sre;.1l avidently does no

The Co mmsreial evidently does not
think the election of Senator BAYARp
to the Presidency would result in an
annual saving approximating hun
dred millions of dollars. We did not
expect that paper to encourage such an
anti. Radical idea. 1t would prove too
eonclusively the criminal waste of its
party. We arc sincere, however, in
our opinion that a Democratic Presi-
dent could induce Democratic Con-
gress to so reduce the expenditures
from their present rate as to save
enough to pay the national debt In
twenty years, and thus add just that
much money to the value of the real
estate Of this country. which is all
mortgaged to pay the debt, and this
mortgage is calculated, perforce, in the
sale of every house or farm that takes
place-since all taxes are paid from the
products of labor or industries.
OF course the Commercial forgets, or
does not chose to remember, that there
was time when Congress looked to
the Chief Magistrate and his Cabinet
to inaugurate economy, and to ask OF
Congress only enough money to sustain
an economical administration" The
reverse of this has been the case at
Washington, for the last Elk years, and
the President and Cabinet have been
found on the floor of the Senate urging
the passage of laws, of no value what
ever to the country, while they added
largely 10 the expenses. In the las
session of Congress there was no re
trenchment, on the contrary, $S5, 900,
900 was added to the already extrava
CAN'T expenditures.
We can we'll afford to reduce boil
our Army and our Navy, since W,
cannot afford to 60 to war again unit
we have accumulated enough capita
to pay the expenses; and this canno
he done until We have first paid ou
Indebtedness. The debts of our States
cities, counties and towns are of them
selves burdensome, and should all b.
reduced. 1t Is useless to leave estate
TO posterity mortgaged to half thei
worth. 1t would be far better to G.
back to the principles OF the Father
and begin again to pay as you GO"

Important Internal ResenUe
Investigation.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Thereis some
thing more serious going on in connec-
ton with the internal revenue affairs
of the country than the removal of Com
missioner Douglass, and it is just to Mr.
Douglass 10 state that he has not been
connected with it even by the remotest
indirection. For six weeks the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of the Treasury
have been conducting with the utmost
secrecy an investigation into the meth
DDS of the manufacture and sale of dis
titled spirits. This investigation has
been superintended by Secretary Bris-
tow in person, and hy the most trusted
confidential special agents in the SER
vice. SecretaryBristow's frequently visits
to New Y ork have had reference to this
inquiry,
Tie basis OF the investigation has been
the remarkable fact that highwines can
be purchased in open market in New
York and New Orleans for considera-
BILE less than the cost OF production, in
Guiding the government tax. This fact
has excited the surprise of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Brstow, and they
are determined to discover the cause.
Ou hSSOdhs Va IhS EiNNh oNSiy
which the investigation is involved the
exact situation cannot be stated, but it
is positively known that both the Pres
ident and Secretary Bristow are con-
vineed that there has been an immense
system of Illicit distillation. This is
for ihe most part confined 10 Western
distillers.
Illicit whisky has beome so common
that the special detectives report that
it is regularly known among dealers as
extras" The following order recent
~ made by large house to Western
distillery firm is probably sample OF
many others; Send us u good many
extras; we can make use of more OF
them" Two of tde special agents
charged with this inquiry have made
full reports uponss.t this subject. The
result of their inquiries is summarized
in what precedes. 1t is not unlikely
that a further result will be numerous
