the STATE Of Ohio:
SIRs-The State having by the acts oil
the General Assembly, passed April 81,
1872, and April ., 1876, and by an act
passed at the session which closed last
month, authorizing the city OF Hamilton
to fill up the canal basin in that city, an
important side cut, and part Of the
Miami and Erie Canal, which, with other
public works, has been leased to us for a
term which will not expire until June !
1881; and the said city, under that au'
thOrity, and without our consent, having
cut off said basin from said canal, by
placing dam across the entrance there
Of, 80 as efectually to destroy
the said basin, we hereby notify
you that ii this destruction OF said basin
is permitted by the State to he consum.

The Monroe county, ". Va, Register
comes to the rescue OF Mr.. G. W. Akin.
son, Of Charleston, Deputy Collector oI
Revenue, for his alleged report to the
Commissioner OF Revenne at Washington
concerning certain counties and persons
in that district in connection with illicit
distilIing and counterieiting. II first
proceeds to show that there has been q
great deal Of talk floating around in the
country visited by Mr., Atkinson and his
coadiutors during the raid, and that they
naturally heard and credited great deal
OF ii. His report on the subject
to the Government was in the
nature Of a privileged communication
written in confidence, not to injure any
body, but to post the proper officer 30
that he could better understand the stu
alton. The Commissioner did very
foolish thing when he permitted any por.
ton Of Mr.. Atkinson's reporIto be made
public. II he has not wisdom enough to
protect his employees when they make
such disclosures to his office he Is certain
ly not the man for the place.
From all the iacIs that have come out
we doubt not that Mr.. Atkinson'B report
did great injustice to many persons, and
particularly to the editor Of the Hinton
Herald, and we are sure that he must re-
gret his hasty judgment and iniudi'
cious communication At the same time
the real injury done by the report wa.
not done by Mr.. Atkinson, bur by the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue when
he permitted ii to be read and published
by the Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial. II every subOr.
linate officer ofthe government should be
treated in this way by his superior they
would soon find themselves in u nice mess
Of trouble. The secret service would be.
come Ineffective and whisky ring5 could
be formed with imrunity. The most
careful employee can not always be cor
rect in his information. lie may at
times be on the wrong scent and do great
injustice TO persons whose goCG
names would greatly suffer by
the publication of his suspicious. W,
therefore seriously fault the head oliict
Of the Revenue department at Washing
ton for the injustice and injury that ha
been done by the publication Of Mr.. AT
kinson's report. The blunder is gros
enough to warrant proper rebuke from
the President or Secretary Of the Treas
