papers.
Mr.. Holton has been uniformly
courteous to newspaper men, but it is
said that the most casual information
or remark made by him III the course
of giving information of court pro-
Ceedings has been perverted by in
terested parties into a representation
at Washington that everything printed
in the papers about the revenue mat

spired by him. Owing to this false
representation he has found it neces-
sary to say nothing. deny nothing,
and confirm nothing. 1t is said that all
the officials indicted have given bond
for their appearance at next week S
term, except Deputy Collector Smith,
who has run away for good. 1t is
also said that most of the distillers in
