The cotton worm has begun its work OF de-

in some parts Of the field is stripped of Its
leaves half way down the stalk. In one tract
of thirty acres not d leaf Is left on the upper
half Of the plant. We are also informed that

Very respectfully.
GEO. F. DREW. Governor.
To Collector Of Customs. New Orleans.
The letter was laid before the Auditor with
instructions to furnish the information de-
sired.
Collector Badger has, by communication,
informed Messrs. Settle 81 Co. that there Is
under the statutes governing the duties Of his
Office and under the national quarantine law
no authority whatever for his taking any ac-
the firm Of exactions by the officers OF the
Board Of Health.
Internal Revenue Collector Marks has been
informed that there are several persons who.
under the guiSe OF deputies of his department.,
have been extorting money from persons
doing small grocery business.
The men, it appears, are well versed In the
duties Of a deputy, and their game Is to enter
a store, represent themselves as officers OF the
government, charge some violation of the in
teruaf revenue laws and agree to pass over
the alleged offense in silence in consideration
OF q small amount Of money.
Until recently their operations have been
confined to small places some distance from
the business centres ofthe city, but yesterday
one OF them had the GOODNESS to enter the es-
Enlistment OF Messrs. May Il Pickett, whole
sale grocers and liquor dealers, and charge
that their method OF conducting the latter
named branch Of their business was all wrong
His game did not work. although he sue
ceeded In convincing the gentlemen Of the
firm that he was an officer Of the government.
Determined to have an understanding as to
wherein they were violating the law, one of
the partners called at the internal revenue
Office in the CustOm-H House and the fraud was
discovered.
All officers Of the department are furnished
with credentials Written ON parchment, which
they are compelled to show on demand, and
inability to produce them stamps the man at
tempting to exercise the authority of an officer
as u fraud.
