A correspondent of the Louisville
Post ut Washington says six sepa-
rate and distinct charges have been
preferred against Collector Crum-
baugh, of this Revenue district. 1t
is charged that distillcrs are on his
bond that he has not, until recently,
been known as Republican, and
that he voted the Democratic State
tickct-Evans cxcepted--in 1879 that
he has appointed Milton Cant, a
Democrat to an important clerkship
that he has raised money from his
subominates to control county con-
ventiOns, by promising. them perina-
ncnt employment; that he has had
county conventions to recommend
him FOR Secretary of the Navy, "a
proceeding unprecedented, audacious,
impudcnt and ridiculous, exciting
the ridiculc of both Republicans and
their opponents; that he (Crum-
baugh) has used official envelopes
for private correspondence, without
paying postage thereon, in violation
of the laws aud the warning printed
on each envelope.
Maj. Crumbaugib whenapproached
by a rcportcrof the 0wcnsboro Mes

about the charges, said. z a013 Y

that all forms of it come from

incubation with rabid saliva
may be either from an organism
existing in the saliva, from for

now four dogs which cannot

geous tax to fifteen cents per
pound. Speaking Of this tax a
contemporary says: "The duty
on nickel was first imposed, and
a duty is to be retained, against
the protests Of the manufaetu-
rers of a thousand kinds of
wares used by poor people, for
the benefit of Mr.. Joseph Whar-
ton, of Philadelphia, who owns
the only nickel mine in this
country, and who, when nickel
could be bought in Europe for
less than seventy cents a pound,
sold, it is said, enormous guam
titles TO the Government for
S1.l5 per pound to coin into
tive-cent pieces. The Govern
ment, therefore, not only levies
this tax on the people for Mr..
Wharton's enrichment, but it
has also paid large sums of the
money collected by the Govern
ment directly to Mr., Wharton.
In u wogd, the Government Sc
cures to Mr.. Wharton a double
bounty"
