RAID OF INTERNAL REVENUE
OFFICERS.
Seizure of Our Large Cigar Manu-.
facturers.
Fifty Thousand Dollars i'm Property
Held.

It will be remembered that short time
since there was disagreement between the
Internal Revenue Office and the cigar makers
of the city relative to the assessments made
upon their manufacture.
The manufacturers called meeting at
which they set forth in specific terms that the
present law was unjust, in that under it they
with twenty-five pounds of tobacco, when
their experience had taught them it was i'm
possible with less than thirty. The matter
was at that time referred to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue at Washington, and as
yet he has not passed upon the case.
1t now transpires that the cigar makers are
again in trouble as Thursday morning some
twenty of the largest manufactures were closed
up by Inspector Flatow, and the places put
under seizure with the stock of cigars on
hand. 1t is said that for some time past he
has been suspicious that the returns made
under the law were not as large as they should
be, and he therefore commenced to seriously
investigate the matter.
Section 1890 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States reads every person manufac-
turing cigars shall also enter daily in a book,
the form of which shall be prescribed by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the accu-
rate account of all the articles aforesaid pur-
chased by him, the quantity of leaf tobacco,
cigars, stems, or cigar boxes, of whatever
description manufactured, sold, consumed or
removed for consumption or sale
and shall, on or before the 10th day of each
and every month, furnish to the collector of
the district true and accurate abstract from
such book"
And section 3400 reads "every manufac-
turer of cigars who removes or sells any cigars
without payment of the special tax, or who
chase or sale of leaf tobacco, stems or other
material used in the manufacture of cigars,
shall, for such offenses, forfeit to the United
bacco and cigars, and all machinery, tools,
implements, etc, used in his business.
This wholesmatter it is believed grows out
of the fact that the manufacturers, under the
law, could not make one thousand cigars
with the required twenty-five pounds of to-
bacco, and the deficiency in the returns show
ing the number made arises from this.
The cigar manufacturers, many Of whom
are gentlemen OF large means, who it would
seem could not afford to disobey the statutes,
declare that their returns are strictly correct,
and that the Internal Revenue Department
has made mistake. The whole matter has
| been placed in charge of counsel, and will
probably be laid before the Commissioner at
an early day.
As yet no inventory of the seized manufac-
| tories has been taken but from hasty es-
innate, it is calculated the value of the prop
erty seized is something over $4,000

If ever there was an illustration of the fact
that "while the lamps hold out to burn, the
yilest sinner may return" it is given in the
case of Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay, who, after being
politically vile for whole lifetime, has in his
declining years seen the error of his ways, and
comes out squarely and boldly for the
Democracy. He not only offered to stump the
State of Kentucky for the Democracy, old as
he is, but he now declares that his choice for
the next President will be any good Demo
GRAFT on which the Democracy shall center.
He is tired Of Radicalism, C@sarism, Imperial
ism, corruption and generalization, and he
looks for relief in the success OF the party
against which he has fought all his life.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial writes to that journal that in converse
ton with Mr.. Clay that gentleman said to
him: "That his choice for President next
year is straightout Democrat-Bayard, OF
Tllden, or Trumbull, or Allen, or last but not
least, Hendricks, or any honest able and
patriotic man" And furthermore, he thinks
that some man from the Southern States
ought to be chosen for Vice President -Er
change.

The New York Tribune tells this story as q
pertinent illustration of how legislative lobby
| ing is accomplished at Albany, and perhaps
| some other State capitals "Some years ago a
| Republican, of unblemished character and
| high standing. voted for certain bill in the
| Assembly at the request of a fellow Republi-
| can, and was soon after amazed at the report
that his name, with forty-four others, had
| been seen on a list in the hands of lobbyist
marked with the letter &C. This was the
| initial of the second member, and the infer
ence was that the forty-f had been fixed
through his assistance.
"No. sent an indignant message to No 3;
to the effect that if he did not make salts
factory explanation to him of the list be
| would rise in his place within fifteen minutes
and demand an investigation. This brought
the explanation, which was that the mysteri-
Gus &C meant. Good to vote for it without
any money!; i. e., on its merits. This was
satisfactory, and there was no further trouble.
1t was not until after the Legislature had ad-
journed that No. l discovered that the inno-
cent g had received $4500 for the forty
five votes, a number of which at least he
had secured without the aid of money, and
that No. l was supposed to have received
the 500 which No. pocketed.
1t was not very long ago that two we'll
known and wealthy citizens of Albany, who
bear famous name. charged Ave hundred
dollars for a few minutes statement of a CASE
to committee. Probably they have allowed
or will allow it to be understood that they
were compelled to divide with the chairman,
who was in fact thoroughly honest man.
There are innumerable tricks hike these Ia the
lobby. A lobbyist or member, knowing how
certain member stands or particular bill,
agrees to control his vots, approaches him
bafora tho roll 10 called tnlks IN sorna MINI
portant topic, and claims the money.
The lobbyist gives half the money he re-
ceives, or none of it. He uses personal in
fuence, and resorts to a thousand similar ex-
pedients. But, these are merely the exoep-
tons of lobbying. The main business is q
transfer of money from the first hand to the
third, for lobbyists success is as dependent
as any ones on his reputation for keeping his
engagement"

GOOD CHEER.
Our Leyees-Their Condition.

AS telegram after telegram has been sent
South by the Associated Press relative to the
present great rise in all Western rivers,
naturally some fears were entertained as to
the safety of the Louisiana and Mississippi
levees So strong did this feeling become
that it crept Northward, and in the cotton
market of New York began to develop, and
messages were sent here inquiring as to the
condition of our river barriers.
1t is believed that some of these reports ex.
aggerating the food emanated from no disin.
terested motive, and that they were circulated
in order to put cotton up in the interest Of
some E .stern spectators. Whether this be
true or not, we can not say, but that these
rumors were industriously circulated is GER
tain.
A representative of the BULLETIN made in
quiries of engineers and at the Office of the
Louisiana Levee Company, and everywhere
learned that our levees were never in better
condition than at present. All new work has
been of the most substantial character, and
the old is firm and well set. OF course, there
will be some few cavings here and there, but
these will not amount to anything.
1t is the opinion of engineers that the most
of the flood will expend its greatest force be-
tween Memphis and Cairo, and may there do
some damage, but comparatively speaking but
little, as the low river belt is not wide. Hav-
ing been thus tapped, when it does reach us
we need not expect more than two feet six
inches rise, for which we are now amply pre-
pared This news will be welcome to our
planters and merchants as our fields ale heavy
with their crops.

BUNK Err MILL.

OF the Centennial celebrations which
have already begun to awaken the patri
otism Of the people, there are some which
gagged by the significance of the events
they commemorate, will knde n more
widespread enthusiasm and viii be cele-
brated with a greater universally than
will attend other centennials where vic
tories gained are commemorated, rs per-
haps greater results were achieved
Lexington was one Of these, and on next
Thursday the patriotic Of the nation need
not be reminded that the Centennial of
Bunker Hill will be observed with all the
pomp and ceremony that the American
struggle for Liberty can induce. So far
as the historical event itself is concerned,
it is more remarkable rs having shown
the spirit which peryaded the yeomanry
OF the country than for any aim accom-
plished. The Americans were driven from
their position, but not without a fearful
sacrifice of life on the part of their
assailants.
But the effect on the country was prob
ably better than an actual victory at that
time would have been. Too great success
might have begot a feeling of over-conh-
dence, which could have resulted di>as
trously. Even rs it was, the campaign
from that time to the surrender of Bur
goyne, afforded but little encouragement
h., Md
less endurance and determination, the
war, begun only to secure redress Of
grievances, might have had different
ending. Even as it was, the disastrous
expedition against Canada was undertake
en-, when better counscls should have pre-
vailed. Bunker Hill is one Of the historic
spots Of the nation. There it WAS that the
unframed and undiscipined tllers OF the
soil first met the picked soldiers Of the
enemy, and taught them that when men
are fighting for their household gods and
in defense of their affairs and their homes,
they are not to be despsed. Snatched in
haste from their labOrs in the field and in
the workshop, armed only with the fire.
locks, which had been their protection
against the wild beast and Indian of the
forest, without discipline, almost without
organization, they three times drove back
the ba talon, Of the flower of Engand's
/ soldiery, and had they not fallen short Of
ammunition, the fortunes of the day might
have been changed. 1t is to recall the
memories of this battle that the gathering
at Bunker Hill will assemble next Thurs
day. From that day, century since, we
can trace the upward progress Of our
country to the present hour. 1t is not
Bunker Hill and its story alone that will
be told to the listening throng. The ira
ditions of that spot will revive in the re-
collection tina: although the soil of New
England was first baptized with the blood
Of Freedom, yet each and all Of the Old
Thirteen stood molly by her in the battle
for the Right.

How THEY RAISE MoNEY IN VIENNA.
A great many curious things come from
Vienna which is German city cngraitcd
with French notions. There is an old law
there which provides that whoever comes
into town and neglects to inform the po-
lice of his arrival, shall be fined five gull
dens. This law long remained inoperat-
i've, and consequently great numbers OF
new corners were in arrears. The city
was short Of money lately and by happy
thought, sent around the police to take n
census Of the city and Iod 90 a demand for
five guildens with every resident whose
address was not already in the hands Of
the police. A large sum was obtained in
this singular marner-much more than
enough to pay the expenses OF the enum-
Grafton. The census shows that Vienna
is now the largest German city, with II
population Of col, 500. This makes her
the fourth city OF Europe, ranking below
London, Paris, and Constantnope only.

COUNTY Politics. Political move
ments are beginning to attract consider
ub!e attention and candidates arc becom-
ing more numerous. The Democrats are
the most confident, and the strife for
nominations will be more spirited in that
party than in the Republican. Some Of
the aspirants are doing some powerful
" buzzing" already. We reteiute the
advice we gave on Il former occasion and
say to our people, Don't TIE your hands
By pledglng your vote or influence to any
man until you see all whom you have to
choose from" Because a man puts him
sell forward for an office, and loses no
opportunity OF urging his claims upon
party, is no criterion that he is the best
man in the party for the position he seeks.
1t is nearly two months yet to the con
ventions and in that time some unexpect-
ed developments may be made.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS The
Legislature, at its last session, passed
certain constitutional amendments, de-
signed 10 effect radical change in near
~ every article Of that instrument. An
other law required the publication Of
these amendments once a week for three
months next preceding the General cleo
ton Of 1875 in three daily papers of the
State. The proposed amendments were
published in the Record Union and Bee
of last week for the first time. They are
very volumlnous, occupying over eleven
columns Of the last named journal As
the publication Is limited by the State
law to three papers, it amounts to very
little in the way of furnishing informa
ton. People in general will have very
little opportunity of studying the charac-
ter Of the changes made, in II matter Of
such Importance as the almost complete
revision OF the organic law of the State,
information should be ditfused widely as
poss.b e. Members Of the next Legisla-
lure will have to agree to these amend
:nehts before they can be submitted to
the people for ratification. One other
amendment, agreed to by the two last
Legislatures, will be submitted to the
voters at the September election.

some D!FFEGENCE.-As Badlam
who was appointed to succeed Rosencr in
San Francisco, has made return of the
personal property Assessment and it foots
up Sl4S, 537,7s against Sl05, 500 last
year. The sudden appreciation in value
of some of the wealthy men and corpora
tiOns would be somewhat of a surprise,
had it not been for the revelations made
at the examination into alta IRIS at the As
SCISSORS office. For instance, the Bank IF
California will pay taxes on three millions
instead of two The Spring Valley Water
Company find their property increased
within year from beggarly $500, 900 to
the nice little sum OF seven and half
millions. San Francisco has reason to be
'gratifed that she has an assessor who will
do his duty. The increased assessment
will lower the rate Of taxation to about one
per cent, the State rate will probably be
about 40 more, making n total of ! 40 per
cent. rate as against 90 last year. This
estimate is made by the Chronicle and it
SHOWS lHdI lHe IeuuCeu Tdlc consequent
on the greatly increased assessments will
lead 10 lower taxation upon all except
those who have been able to elude or bride
the Assessor in former years. Take, for
instance, the Bank Of California, the as
sessment of which is raised one million.
1t will pay an equal sum this year at the
rate of Lao per cent. on three millions as
last year, when it paid 2.l0 on two mil
lions. And we do not doubt but the
stockholders are well satisfied to see the
money given to the support of the State
and city governments, rather than handed
out in s., 000 checks to secure reduced as
sessment. the State will be the gamer
by the change OF Assessors, ard it is pretty
doubtful if the bankers and merchants Of
our chief city will contribute RS literally
to pay Mr.. Badam's "electionecling ex-
penses" as they did to those of his prede-
cessor so we would suggest that those
citizens who wish 10 see all property put
down at tair valuation, try and keep the
right man for the place, now that they
have been fortunate enough to find him.
