A body of thirty men entered Dalton, White
field County, Ga. last night and forcibly res
cued property seized for violations of the reve-
nue. laws.
The following reply will be sent by Acting
Commissioner Rogers: -
To Collector Clark: Take immediate measures
to identify the persons who forctby released the
seized property Ut Dalton. Then obtuin war
rants, and call upon the Marshal for their i'm
mediate arrest. Employ whatever force may be
necessary for this purpose. DO NOT relax -FOUR
efforts in this direction till every one of this
lawless party Is In the custody Of the United

The following telegram was also sent by

EAST FREIGHT BUSINESS.
80 There was no improvement in the east
bound freight business during the past week,
and, instead of an increase in shipments as
was generally expected, decrease has to
be recorded. For. the week ending Oct q.
the shipments by the six Eastern pool lines
were 2o, a37 tons, against 81, $50 tons the week
previous. The railroads have now given up
all hopes of an Increase until the close OF
navigation. unless there should be q lower
ing In the rail rates, which Is not likely, IS
the trunk lines are determined to get the
highest figures possible nQ matter how much
their Western connections suffer: The
trunk lines make money BY. this policy,
berause they get tho bulk of the lake
business ,at Lake-Erie ports. The
roatts west Of Buffalo and other Eastern
lake ports have to fight the lake competition,
and as they are unable to compete under the
present pooling arrangement, they are heavy
sufferers, and there Is no alternative left to
them except to grin and bear it. They can
NOT cut loose from the trunk line dictation,
owned by the trunk lines. There Is a pros
pect, however. that after the close Of nayi-
Cation. when the trunk lines will no longer
get a heavy traffic from the lakes. there will
be trouble that may result in the breaking up
OF the Eastern pooling arrangement. As
already stated. much business Is being d.
verted to st. Louis and thence by barge lines
to New Orleans. This new competition is
being engineered by Jay Gould, and in order
to thwart him in his designs the New York
meet his rates If they mean to keep up their
prestige It is stated that Could has already
built a number Of barges sufficient to trans
far 500 Zoo bushels Of graiu down the Mfssfs-
sippl River, and three large elevators at New
