DISTILLERY,
,IulV I 1874

- -, Collector, DIR. SIR: I'll
would be pleased to be informed
whether or not there really is con-
tinuous Installation according TO law
anywhere in the service where cop
pers are a part of tie apparatus to
rectify and make fine whisky, so
that the day run is actually placed
in the receiving cisterns the same
day the beer is distilled as in the
wooden column or boiler. My infor-
nation since | have been here this
month tends TO the contrary. Here,
and l am credibly Informed at most
all other distilleries in county,
they have what is called a doubler,
that Is. when the rectified spirit. pass
ing through the coppers, becomes
weak they turn it back by means of
stop-cock into the singing tub
again. They charge the coppers
with one-half the run, and this half
passes into the receiving cistern the
same day, except the tailings above
spoken of. The other half of the
run remains Orer night in the sing
ling tub, thence passes through the
coppers into the receiving cisterns
the uext morning. BY this plan the
third day drawings are always be-
hind half q run, and at the end of
the month the returns do not show
the months product by that much
1t seems to me these irregularities
seriously imperU the revenue as that
under the circumstance the store
keeper cannot always control them |
unless he remain night and day at
the distillery.
High wines may be distracted |
from the line Of distillation with ease
and celebrity from the leeching and
tubs, and when disLillers
have this back action, they can read
ily, without being detected. throw
back The finest spirit into the sing
ling tub from whence two or three
barrels per week, in a distillery of
fifty bushels capacity per day. can.
be distracted at night, and sent to
rectifyIng houses, where they easily
get on The market without being dis
covered by the revenue officer.
| have no sufficient reasons TO sup
pose this has been done here. but
my experience elsewhere Of two
years proves that three gallons and
tree quarts of proof spirit can read
lily he made in this district from a
Dushel of good grain. The law re-
luires eighty per cent. of three gal
ons and i.alf, or two gallons and
per bushel as the mini
mum. so that the abstraction of two
Or three barrels per week from each
amounting to a large sum
n the aggregate, would not endan-
ger charges for deficiency.
The line of distillation, including
ne singing and leeching tubs, al
hough many locks are on it. are no.
insecure, and have always
)een so, so that the tubs can readily
De entered from the cover, or from

sealed or otherwise unsecured.
While the large amount of spirit
emains every night in the singing

,dy other than making them more
ecure than they now are, unless {
here is a method in practice that |
actually complies with the letter OF '

Ratchet fellow of the Mazeppa, INDUCES
in billingsgate and falsehoods to a
greater extent than common this morn
ing. To the billipgsgate We have no
reply to make, and to the falsehoods
only so far as they allude to the SILVER
STATE and its editor. Undoubtedly the
Chief Blackguard knows much about
county DIVISION but when he says the
SILVER STATE was to go to Unionville
in the event of new county being
organized. and that its editor received
$500, or any other amount-more or
iess-from the la:s o. NJ. Evans, or
anybody else, for favoring or advocat-
ing the division OF the county, or for
any other purpose, he tells deliber-
ate and unqualified liz. The Chief
Blackguard has our permission and
we hereby challenge him or anybody
else to produce line or letter written
by us favoring division of the county.

MUST BE ANNOTATED.

Charles A. Dana, of the New York
San, says corruption has so spread
through the whole machinery of the
Government that reform is impossible
without new heads and new hands.
and that the Republican party must be
annihilated, as there is no other REM
sdy. This is plain and to the point,
vet Dana is not now, aud never was
Democrat. He fought m the Union
army in the war, was warm supporter
of Linccln's Administration aud advo-
Gated the election of Grant for the first
term, Since then, he, as we'll as the
whole country, have discovered that
Grant as a soldier and Grant as Presi-
dent, are very different, and now he
sees no other remedy for the corruption
which has spread through the Govern
nent under his Administration, than.
the utter humiliation of the Republican
party. There are millions of Union
men in the United States who take the
same view of the case and believe that
nothing less than the disruption of the
party whose rottenness permeates every
department of the Government from
the White House to the consulates in
the remotest lands. will purify the
Government.

Two young men, of hoodlum stripe.

no one at home but him, and his mis-
tress would not return for some time.
They went away aud in few minutes
returned and knocked at the door again.
When it was opened. they pushed by
the China boy and shat the door. He
demurrsd to the proceedings, and
angrily told them to leave, whereupon
one of them struck him three times
with a Ratchet. inhicting as many
wounds. The ruff ans then ransacked
the house. and carried off property to
the amount of 1850, and destroyed as
much more. When Mrs. Brown re-
turned, she found her servant pros
trated on the hall floor in large poo
of blood. The boy was conveyed to
the hospital, and search was made for
the villains, but they have not been
found yet.

Strikers on the War Path.
CLEAvELAND, Ohio. May 6.
The trouble which has been in ex-
istence between molders formerly
employed by tie Cooperative Stove
Company, and the men employed, took
formidable shape yesterday. Last
evening as about dozen workmen
were DING home, they came in con-
tact with about twenty-five strikers,
who had laid in wait. AS the parties
came within two or three rods of each
other, the striking molders began to
hurl stones, bricks and other missiles
at the other party. most of whom took
to fight. Four or five stood their
ground and were severely beaten.
Several pistol shots were fired, and
one, K. II. Fuller, was dangerously
wounded in the head.
Threatened with Death.
A special from Massilon coal fields
reports considerable excitement, but
no serious damage. About fifty troops
are on the ground ready for any emer-

party of strikers and threatened with
instant death. if he hoisted another
bucket of coal. He quit.
