THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

During the four months ending May LIST, the
Government of the United States lost by fraud
in reports of whisky distilled in St Louis,
Chicago, Milwaukee and other Western cities
an amount estimated at 5000, 900, or at the
rate of 50, 1000 year. It is calculated
that fully 100000 gallons escaped taxation
during that period.
The Internal Revenue is q costly affair. To
assess the revenue for one year involved an
outlay of s2,732 900. The expenses of COL
lection for the same year amounted to ST.
$4,000. The total collections for that year,
ending June 80, 1873. were $165, 23S, 600.
The postage alone for that year was s37, 900,
showing little less than q million and half
letters were written. The Internal Revenue
assessed was s125, 945, 900, and the total
amount of collections was $165, 2S8. 48O. In
that year there were registered 7949 distil-
leries, of which 1904 were in operation. It is
remarkable that 694S of the distilleries in
operation were distilleries Of fruit while only
Is were distilleries Of molasses, and SAB of
grain. The tax on distilled spirits was raised
from so to 20 cents per gallon August l, 1872.
But the fruit distilleries produced only
:, 9l4. 500 gallons, while the fewer grain dis.
Iilleries t5ls) produced 6S, 236. SGT taxable
gallons. The excise receipts for 1878 were

When he returned with than they were COM
pared with tho returns Of Bemis, Fraser q
Co., retifers. of packages empted for distil-
lation, and it was found that the fifty barrels
shipped to Savannah. Charleston, and Will
miDgton were according to the marks and
numbers Of the stamps and quantities of
spirits identical with fifty barrels which the
retifers had reported as emptied ten days
earlier than the date Of their reception at the
above named points. This was conclusive,
for it is impossible without the collision of
the gaugers for Implications of this kind to
occur. The fact established was simply this
Bemis & Fraser, distillers sent to their recti-
flying establishment fifty barrels. which were
emptied and returned with stamps intact and
re6lled and then shipped to the wholesale
dealers. Large quantities of whisky under
precisely similar conditions have been traced
from Bemis & Fraser and Bemis, Fraser 4 Co.
to W. s. Miller a. Co., Wholesale dealers, No.
40 Broad street, New York.
In these and numerous other similar frauds
the gauge-s and other agents and officers of
the government were deeply involved.
We gather and condense the foregoing
statements from long Washington dispatch
to the New York Sun, of May II, which con-
cludes with somewhat interesting fact:
It will be remembered that last winter Sec-
rotary Bristow made a change in the Super
visors of Internal Revenue at that point re-
moving Cobb of North Carolina and appoint.
ing ma1onamed Hunt. There was deter
mined effort made by the Whisky Ring at
New Orleans to prevent this change. and Jim
Casey, Marshal Packard, and the entire Lou
isiana Ring exerted all their influence at the
White House to have Cobb retained.
The effort was temporarily successful, but
Bristow finally carried his point with Grant,
and Hunt was appointed. He is bright, &C.
tive young man, and went about his work in
a thorough business-like manner. His first
order was to dismiss all the subordinates who
had been appointed under his predecessor,
and their places were filled by men from Ken
lucky Just as soon as this was done the Ring
was broken up, root and branch, and not .
gallon of illicit whisky has been manufactured
or sold in that city since Hunt had charge of
his Office. This demonstrates conclusively
that the order Mr.. Bristow made last winter |
for the transferring of supervisors would have |
been death-blow at the Ring.
Much Of the foregoing smacks Of the eulo-
CYSTIC style in which the exposures and dis
,overies of the enterprising detective" are
usually served up; but yet it serves to show
hat the Tildens, Bristows and other thor
,ughly honest men in public Office can earn
heir salaries and save to the government piles
# money into the bargain.
