From Our 0un Ca1respendent-
MILWAUKEE, May 15-The raid on tbs
dtstillsrs thu past ueek has thrown everything
e16s IN the way Of local topics into the back
Grpund. Naturally, everything that has been
dous is denounced by the Bourbons ~ the un-
srupulous work Of tyrannictl Republican
Government. Democrats Of al shAies h2ve
united on thus opportunity in = nev-found
gympathy for the distillerB. They are unanimous
In protesting End lp-hghtng the Cause Of the
ssized against the seizers- I have yet to con-
varBe With the Democrat in ths City OF lii
V3nkea who looks upon tbs raid as meritoriouu
performance Of \ high pnblic dnty,--an the
more praiseworthy from the certainty Of thu i'm
portant inrerest it vouId be car.ain to Alternate
from the Republican party; but can find
Democrats in every ao.se swift to pnderstAod
that the hostility against the party in power now
felt by the distillers is to be famed iato fame
Of active opposition to the Republicans Ut the
next e1ections. The rid is q perfect goa-seud
to Cur Bou1 bons. But \ little while ago theY
were ehrieHng Tor 2ctiya measures in the public
departments against corrupt officials and
parsons Who commit frauds upon the revenue.

districts. Il has been evident, for eome tins,
that thu revenue was being detrauded IN this
district. At thu East very much larger oonsign-
xnents Of highWines have been receiTed from
Milwaukee, over the railroads. and by the steam
ahip companies, thau could by any possibility
havs been produced in this district. The capac-
ley Of tia distileries il en ascertained fact. Il
tho yisld doubles the capacity known, author
lied, surveyed, recorded, and paid for, it il eri
dent the capacity has been doubled. in soma IN
known, unauthorized, unsurroyea, un1ecorded
manner, and not paid for. Tbs Increased yield
VIA discovered months agu. It WAS found that
one man alons in this city was sending forward
alnost - much ~ half the entire capacity in
tho district, and the othsr dist1llers were eaeh
doing almost II we'll. Allowing for home con-
sumption, the conBignraents East, West, North.
and South from this district showed conclusive
~ that, for every s25,00u taxes paid, cur disti1
lsrA had produced xines taxable for S100, 900, or
hereabonta. Who Will aay this wss not
