The Whisky Frauds.

As is very natural and proper, the treas
ury and Internal revenue officials are not
in communicative mood in regard to their
plans or future movements in the raid on the
whisky ring. But there is a good reason
for believing that another blow is to be
struck within few days, the force Of which
will be felt in Kentucky and the East.
Within the past few days, Secretary Bris-
tow has received communications from east
cru cities indicating to him that he has hard
ly as yet broken the crust Of the formidable
ring which he is trying to put down, and
offers have been made to him contingent on
his cooperation with those making the offers,
to supply evidence which will involve a
number of heretofore regarded respectable
houses in Philadelphia, New York, Balti-
more, Pittsburg and elsewhere. Another
place likely to receive attention ere long is
New Orleans. The whisky ring has been
more extensive aud successful there than at
auy other point. The distillers had become
SO accustomed to fraud, that when they dis
covered that they could not corrupt the new
supervisor, they closed their distilleries. II
is understood that the treasury officers have
information of the whereabouts of all the
Illicit whisky shipped from New Orleans,
and will seize both it and the distilleries.
Secretary Bristow has relieved the secret
service from any further active participa-
ton in the crusade, and has entrusted to Mr.
Pratt, the new internal revenue commission.
er, the duty of arranging for further seiz
ures. A part Of the plan OF the authoritie:
is to have the transactions Of every distillcry
and rectifying house in the country testet

was ifty.four years old on the 18th Of last
January. Born near Lexington, he resided
there nearly all his life, and when not en-
gagged 10 political positions, praoticed law

The spelling matches so much in vogue
seem to have turned general attention to the
cumbrous photography of the English lam
guage Perfect spelling, remarks the Graph
&c, is as much dream as perfect holiness is.
Engishmen may approach, but can never
reach it. In our language there are forty
two sounds, and these must be expressed in
writing by means Of twenty-four letters.
Not only have we not characters enough for
our sounds, but many Of the characters we
have are often thrown away in the construc-
ton Of words. Somebody curious in such
matters has calculated that person who
writes thirty words in q minute makes in
that time the equivalent Of straight mark
a rod loug--that is, each word is six and
three.ffths inches in length-a calculation
exact enough for ordinary purposes; if he
should write five hours a day for year Of
three hundred days, he would write over
three hundred miles of paper. IL our sys-
TEN of spelling is wrong, by reason Of its
redundancy Of letters We here use up an
amount Of energy that might be better en-
ployed on some more profitable task.
