Extent Of the Business.
Annual Reunion Of the Society OF the
Army OF the POtOmac-A Repre-.
sentative Gathering.

WAsHNeToE, May 16.-The acting Secre-
tary OF the Treasury had a consultation to-
day with Clay, collector of customs at New
port News, Va, in regard TO the expectation
Of bonded whisky from that port to Bermuda.
The collector said this business was iuereaE-
ing to such an extent that national help was
absolutely necessary. Five thousand barrels
of whiAky are now at that port awaiting
shipment, and he is informed that certain
exporters, for whom q New York FRA is
acting as agent, expect &c ship whisky 10
Bermuda at tee rate Of 5000 to IL, GOO barrels
per month. The first shipment will prob1-
bly, be made in a week or two. The vessel
which has been engaged for this trade Is
expected at Newport News in few dsys.
Under the regulation Of the department,
whisky must be gagged either aloDg.ide or
on board the vessel in which it Is 10 be
shipped. Clay said his present force could
only gauge sxty OF seventy barrels day,
and could not begin work until the export

TEN DAYS IN JAIL.
Trial or the PurnelI Case tu the CrIni.
nal Csurt Yesterday.

In the Criminal Court yesterday DR.. Ii. W
Pnnell was srrsigned for carrying concealed
weapons, and fined $50. A sentence of sixty
DAYS imprisonment was also pronounced up
on him. Fifty days OF tnis was suspended
during good behavior, but Judge Greer an
nounced his intention to enforce at least ten
days. Ia his opinion imprisonment for that
length of time would be as severe on the de-
PENDANT, considering his position in life, as
much larger sentence upon common river
rousis0out OF other persons OF that class.
The attorney for the defendant argued
that be was not guilty OF wiilful violation
OF the Law, but that on the contrary, he had
armed himself, believing, with good reason,
thst his own life was in danger; that he had
been informed that Mrs. Enuis and rela-
tive we're looking for him to kill him, and he
put pistol in his pocket to defend himself
in his own ofics; that he did not leave his
Office with the weapon until forced TO do so,
and that during sis forced promenade 10 the
courthouse he was in fact the prisoner OF
Mrs. Eunis. Therefore they took an appeal
from Judge Greer's decision, and the sentence
of ten days in Jail cannot be enforced until
indorssd b. the Supreme Court. Several
witnesses testified in the case, among them
Mr.. c. A. Burr, who saw the whole difficulty
and upon whose testimony the argument for
the defense Waa based.
