The country still misconceives very much

used language which Washington himself
used. But, whether justified or not, the
country has never understood its purpose.
Sheridan had ND thought that the plan Of
military commission he suggested would be
adnnted The dispatch was not designed
for q report to Washington or for the in
formation of tho country, but for immediate
effect in New Orleans. 1t was, as President
Grant describes it, simply piece OF
strategy. All New Orleans was in fer
ment. IL was the day after the coup d'etat
in the Legislature. The city was like
powder magazine, where q spark would

(:h.ndiux sugars.

A board, consisting of two of the most
experienced special agents OF the Treasury
Department, that have, under the direction
OF the SecretaF y OF the Treasury, been in
session tor several days at Baltimore, re-
TUNED to Washington on Friday last to
make their report. The Object Of the meet
ing was to investigate the system of grading
sugars, to cd rect the inethciencies ana
irregularities Ii this delicate duty, and to
collect the daIa for the basis OF uniform
system of grading sugars. At the four
great sugar PORTS OF Baltimore, New York,
Boston and Ndw Orleans, at present, sugars
are grated byithe Dutch standard, and the
samples consist Of twenty grades Of sun
dried Java sugars in bottles These are
sent to the ports above named and renewed
every two vedrs The duties are fixed by
the customs officers according to these
grades, az toiIbws: All under seven, one and
one half cents pound; from seven to ten,
one aud three. quarter cents; from ten to
thirteen, two cents, and so on up to four
cents a pound duty on the highest grade.
The new revenue bill adds twenty-five per
cent.
1t has been the custom to take samples
from a number of hogsheads, and to com
pare them with the Dutch standards. The
latter have arayish color, while the Havana
sugar has a ytllowish tinge, and 1t is only
by exercising the most delicate apprecia-
ton Of color aud shade that the expert can
determine the duty which should be as
sessed. 1t has been discovered that the
average duties on sugars have been assessed
one grade too low, or an average OF
three ii shths OF cent less than the
proper duty on the actual grade OF
sugar, which occasions loss of duties
TO about $4,000,0G0 a year
to the government There also have
been numerous complaints of Irregularities
in assessments at the different sugar ports.
New York n Ell chants assert that the duties
are one half cent lower at Baltimore, and
the dealers id the latter City complain that
they are one-half cent lower still at New
Orleans.
It is proposed to issue instructions when
Ill the data are obtained, to govern the

From the Gold Mines In the Black Hills
A special dispatch to the Sioux City jour
nal, from Yorkton, says Eph. Witcher, E
well known citizen. who was a member o.
the expedition to the Black Hills, arrived
in Yorkton to day. He reports having left
his companions at the stCckade of the ex
petition, within two niles of Harney's
Peak, on Box Elder creek, on the third OF
February. Witcher says the expedition was
composed of twenty-seven men and one lad
aud her son. There were six wagons, and
the party were well armed, some being
mounted. They are also well supplied with
provisions and mining tools. Tneexpedition
left here on the sixth of October
They struck Mabara river about 100 miles
above its mouth, and after following the
stream some distance they crossed the
country to point east of the Black Hills
On Cheyenne river they met party OF 200
mounted Indians, with whom ;hey held a
peaceable parley. After reaching an ap.
parentiy pas sable path at the foot of the
hills they struck into the mountains, and
after picking. their way reached a point
within NO miles 0i II drney's Peak in fifteen
days from the date of their entry into he
hills. They erected q stockaiie eighty teef
long. and built log cabins from an abundan nj
supply of timber which they found. The
cold weather generally impede,i their pros
pectiug. They sunk twenty-five prospect
holes and struck gold in every instance.
From the grass to the bed OF the rock they
found numerous gold and silver-bearinE
quartz lodes, aud the specimens AIR. Witcher
brought back are pronounced very rich
The party never saw an Indian while in the
hills.
Mr.. Witcher describes the parts of the
hills they saw as having magnificent val
leys, seemingly limitless forests of pine, and
abundance of elk, deer and other game.
The greater portion OF the return trip was
made through snowdrifts over the trackless
country in most stormy and severe weather.
They discovered, in coming ont OF the hills,
what has been named Wether's Pass, a good
natural wagon road. This shortens the way
out OF the hills by thirteen days. Their
animals lived on the grass they found
beneath the snow. Mr.. Whether saws he can
take loaded OK teams into the hills from
Sioux City in thirty days. The members
left in the hills are III good health and
spirits. Mr. Whether returned for reinforce.
ments. He says there is no evidence of
other parties being in the hills. MIR. CASTOR,

A SIcrgyuaa Taken In.

A rather amusing incident occurred re
Gently to a reverend gentleman, who is 4
popular preacher in city not more than
twenty miles away. He went TO have his
likeness taken al a photographers, and put
on his surplice iii an anteroom. When
usheIed into the manipulating room he was
not little disconnected on seeing Crcas-
sian beauty, IN full costume, chained and
on her knees. her countenance expressing
the pieadings OF a broken hearted girl on
being dragged before the Mussulman pro.
puetor OF a happy harem family. The raver-
end gentlemen. as soon as he had recoyere!
from his surprise, took an interest IN the high
proceeding, and ventured to suggest that
the veil fell too tar across her face. Would
you kindly show me what you Inean?" said
the man OF shades and shadows. The rev.
erend gentleman was kind enough to DE- SO.
The flash OF light was wickedly employed;
for to his horror it may be related. ii be

preacher was taken in dramatic attitude,
