rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, Aug 2S.-COmmissioner Raum says
the internal revenue receipts up to this time are
much smaller than they last year for the same
period This, he says, is partly owing to the hard
times, and partly TO the extensive and persistent
violations of the law. He says distilers in
various sections of the country, but particularly in
the South, are determined to save the tax of 90
cents gallon, or $50 barrel. They will do this,
law or no law. He believes our present laws are
adequate for the protection of the Government, but
thew are not administered with sufficient vigor. The
commissioner says the only way to put stop to the
systematic frauds which perpetrated Is to carry
out the law and when the viOator of 1t Is arrested
TO hermit no leniency to be exercised In dealing Win
him In this he asks the courts In the several
States to cooperate with the internal revenue

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The ancient city OF
Alexandria Va, was the scene OF great excitement TO-
day In the language OF Of the Oldest inhabitants
IL looked like the day when the boys left the town to
share their fortunes with the Southern COnfederacy
Lang before daylight lines OF vehicles flied into
town from the surrounding country, and the
trains brought large numbers Of people from
the distant portions OF the State. The occasion for
this great influx the meeting OF the Democratic
Congressional Convention for the With District
spirited contest has been going on In this district for
several weeks between tho friends OF General Eppa
Hunton, the present member, and Mr. g. O. Neale, a
young lawyer OF Alexandria More than ordinary In
erest has attached this contest because Of the fact
that among tho earliest Developments Cen
eral Huntons challenge to Mr. Columbus Alexander, Of
Washington, supporter OF Mr.. Neale, to light duel
Almost from the beginning OF the controversy the adj
vantage has seemed 10 be on the side OF General Hun
ton whose record as q member OF the XLIlId, XLIVth
XLvth Congresses has been such as to win the
warm approval OF tho ex-Confederate element in
his district The members OF his old brigade
have been out in force to-day working and yelling ear
nesty ia his support The convention assembled promptly
al noon 1874 delegates being present The hall was
rather small for the purpose, and as number OF
srkersp had forced themselves IN, 1t was crowded to
such an extent that several the delegates we're unable
70 obtain seats Captain NJ. Sheppard. OF Warrenton,
called the convention 10 order He said he hoped that
ne res1It Of their deliberations would be for
the heat interests OF the District, tue State,
and the entire country. After c9nsderable
discussion, Committees Credentials and Permanent
ORGANIZATION were appointed, each contesting delega
ton being allowed member in each committee res
onton was adopted pledgng the delegates
10 abide by the result OF tho convention
Inc convention then, at o'clock, took re-
cess until s O'Clock, TO allow the commttees 70

WAsnINGToN, Aug. 2s.--The Republican, referred
to by General Butler in his open letter to the Reg
lister of the Treasury concerning the registration
of United States bonds in his name, seems
TO have COMPOUNDED United States bonds with
those of the District of Columbia, which are only
guaranteed by the Government. The rumor which
doubtless formed the basis of the article which ex
cited the Generals ire credits him with the owner
ship of the latter class Of bonds, not those of the
United States and the current impression Is that he
holds Them or the most OF them, as he has perfect
not in his own name. 1t is really nobOdys business
what kind of bonds General Butler invests his hard
lie interest if he had not asserted in his Newbury
port speech that all his wealth was invested III real
estate or business enterprises.

MIR. EDIToR:-Dedr Sir II see in
yours, and other Wilmington papers,
dreadful cases of hydrophobia, origina-
ting from the bite of mad dogs. Now 1
wish to say, through your paper, to the
public, that my wfe's father, probably
20 years ago, bought from an old German
Doctor, thenin Appoquinimink hundred,
the secret of preparing pill to prevent
persons from going mad if taken in time.
These pills have been used in the lower
part of this county ever since, and been
known to prevent persons going mad /;
we have often sent these pills long dis
tances, and a cure was performed, for
which the Doctors took the credit 1
have son that makes the said pills, and
as L am coming up to Wilmington to-day
on business, will bring half dozen of
these pills, and leave them with you, to
give away for nothing to the persons
who have been bitten. One pill Is suffi-
cient, but must be swallowed whole. If
these pills prove preventive there, as
here, asupply can always be had for one
dollar pill, which merely covers the
cost of making them.
