THE CUBUQUE WHISKY FRAUDS.
IntcrtailBtj hpr f lalrraul RoHann
silniwrjr.
In April, 1RC5, a larce amount of liquor an. I
hlch-wln-B, the products ot a dbjtlllcry at Lu
buque, Iowa, rs seized tinier the Internal
Revenue Act. This was one ot tbe llrntot iho
whisky iraud. and created a (Treat ecQBatlon all
over the country. A lull report of the Column
siouer of the Internal Revenue in the cave barf
lately been publiHhcd.
The distillery w as run by lies th. J. A. Rhora
berir & Co.. who, from the time ot Its "ppiiln in
18G4, prcKcd It tiinht and day luto alaree pro
duel. The proprietors were taken aback by the
chance of t nie, on which the tax of $2 por
gallon ai to fro into ttlect, a dlncrcnce ol' one
month against their interest and calculation.
They at once commenced a desperate gaina of
fraud upon the Government, whlcti was tnauato.l
bo skiltully Bi to involve unsuspecting purtioi
to fhare in the ultimate perils and loss.
Paving duty on 79,1811 gallons httrhwlncj
diiriite the period of uninterrupted operations,
the firm phipped to New York early in 18 15 a
product ot alcohol and high-wines equal to
1(3.000 eallons high-wines, an excess ol 8.),0U.I
callous over the amount on which duty was col
lected. One process, anions others, by which
they manoeuvred in the Iraud, was to secure in
spection on a certain number of barrels of hlU
wines, and afterward emptying the'r contents
into the alcohol tull, ietlliiiifr iho barrels with
other ines.
At the time ot the seizure, the amount of
whicu the Government hud been defrauded waR
a little over $100,01)1). The seizure ot the pro-
Serty by the revenue ollicers lound it in the
anus of innocent patties, who held it lor large
advances. Theie were seized in store, or in
transitu at Chicago, Hullulo, and New York,
1000 bnmls of hiph-wlnes, and 1287 barrels of
alcohol, the estimated value of which wa3
$272,000.
Mcears. Etunres A Sons, bankers, and the
Dubuque lirancl Bank, had tnaio advances
unon clear bills of lading ol $2G0,00J. The total
interest of outside parties in the proceedings
amounted to $370,000. When the distillery was
seized, it was lound to be fully stocked tor the
prosecution of a larce business, and with perish
able property. The revenue ollicers, on instruc
tions Irom Washineton, kept the distillery run
Diner uni.il tbe grain was a'l converted Into
Bpuits, amounting to 75,000 gallons.
Out of this act grew the most serious compli
cations of all. tor. pending the decision on the
seizures previously ma'le, involvine thewholo
machitierv and nateriul, under the views that
the tax of two dollars must be. collected on every
gallon of hich-wiues made, the whole personal
firopcrty at Dubuque, then in the United titatea
larshai's hands, was d stralned lor taxes. From
this embarrassment, iho Department set to work
to untie the knot. The Department willinaly
consulted the interests of the bankers and other
innocent parties.
The strict letter ofthe law, if carried out,
meant forfeiture of all the property in the hands
of the Government. But certain complications
stood in the way. The spirits, under the tirsl
seizure, had been released under bonds of in
demnity tiled by the bankers interested, May
22, at that time satisfactory to Commissioner
Lewis, a.id sufliclently protecting the interests
of the Government as" lelaicd to the taxes due.
In i ecard to the 75.000 gallons of spirits male
by the Government officers the Commissioner
decided that it belonged to the Government, and
the latter being clearly the n.anufucturer, the
liability to tax did not exist.
The ordinary proceeding: carried out would
cave lett the Government a ueavy loser, lor
sharing one-halt with the informers, a sale in
the then depressed condition of tne market
would hare lclt a large balance unpaid, and
Bhombere & Co. too entirely ruined lor further
resort. The end of the whole atlair was the en
tering into of a bond, which has been fully com
plied with, in which Mr. Sturges entered into
the following agreement:
"o pay. the tax cue, ana a further sum of 25,000
in llu ot all penalties and lorteitnres incurred by
Rhomberjr, together with the costs aud ouarpes
accruing to tho revenue officer lor the seizure, the
United States to release and turn over ti them tbe
property under seizure, to surrender and canoel tne
bond ot 11 ay 22, to surrender, free of ex., tho wines
produced sinca trie seizure, and also all moneys re
ceived as proceeds or tbe sale of tbe catte. and to
assign to them a bond given to the United states
by KbomberR & Co , as distillers, said property to
be 10 eased upon their filinor a bond conditioned
tbat they should pav tbe costs aioresa.d, and alio
tbe sum ot $161,156 tax, and 25 000 in lieu ol penal
ties, as lollows: $50,000 in one month, and the
balance in two equal payment, one-bait in thee
months, and the other in fire months, with interest
Irom the date ot said bond."
Indications of Lower Prices.
All through the present month prices have
been gradually but steadily tending downwards,
-with the single prominent exception of reuti.
The prico of gold touched one hundred and
thtrtv-six on Saturday, the lowest point that
it has reached since last fall. The coal sales of
last week showed the nearest approach to old
lashioned prices of fuel that we have had since the
era of high prices commenced. The figures
ranecd from seven to eieht dollars a ton,' and
the bidding was very dull at that. The retailers
still adhere closely to extortion prices, but there
is ro excuse whatever tor such rates as tney
exact from consumers. In the drygoods Market
everything U fiat, dull, and drooping. Tho
wholesale merchants are, dcinar almost nothing in
the way of sales, but are frequently cbanging
their marks a figure lower. They generally
have large stocks on band, aa have also tbe
manufacturers, and there is a prospect of raucn
lower rate. The same la true of groceries, and
nearly every other class of goods. The retail
drj goods men are the only class of retailers,
however, who seem to have taken any notice of
the decline in prices, and even they have not re
duced tneir ueures to an extent corresponding
with the wholesale reduction. Of course the re
tailers will maintain old prices an loner as dob-
sible, with the object ot clearing out stocks that
were boueht at hub. rates, but a continued de
cline in the whole market will compel them to
come down or run the lisk of having their goods
remain on hand. On tbe whole, we think the
tendency of pricos generally is quite encourag
ing to consumers. N. Y. Bun.
The Book of Common Prayer.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has set his foot
upon the project for the revision of the Book of
Common Prayer, which has been agitated for
some time past in England. lie pointedly con
demns "those who have violated a compromise
and settlement which has existed for three hun
dred years, and ate introducing vestments aud
ceremonies of very doubtf ul legality, are retily,
though unconsciously, doing the work of the
worst eneiiiies ol the Church;" aud adds: ,
"Let it not be supposed tbat 1 have any sym
pathy with those who would mutilate the ser
vices or our Church, or slight iU plain directions;
my anxiety is to see that uniformity prevail in
our public worshio which It has beeu the special
oblect of the Re f ormed Church ot Etulund to
secure; but hopeless indeed must be every pros
pect ol uniformity if each clergyman Is at liberty
to reproduce, according to his individual caprice,
the use of Salisbury, Hereford, Bangor, York, or
Lincoln, which diversity is expressly deprecated
In the preface to our Book ot Common Prayer."
Another British Blunder.
Lord Robeit Cecil, a member ot the British
Parliament, made merry, in a recent speech,
over his experiences in the United States. On
board a Ounard steamer, ue says, the passensers
otter material for a curious study : 'Ton nad
yourself with a Vice-President of the United
States on oue side, and perhaps a detective lu
pursuit ot a Muller on the other, whllo opposite
may bo the French minister eoing out, and
Mr. liurnum, perhaps, next to him."
After the c ustomary slurs at American man
ners, Lord Robert cave his hearers the remark
able bit of information that "the Federal Gen
eral Sherman, wtio might almost have dictated
the policy of the republic, returned to the
drudgery of a lawyer's oilice In a small country

Three Lndies Frozen to Death. 1
Ft. Paul. Feoruarv 21. Three persons were
Irozen to death, and three others badly frozen In
Morion county, during the receut co'd snap.
undtr the lollowlne riiciirustances: i ney wre
atteridina a eir.uine school, near Cham Lake, on
the niebtof tho lath instant, and about icKht
o'clock a severe snow storm coming upj they
were afraid to remain longer, and started for
home, a distance ol a mile and a half, with an
ox team. i
Alter remaining out two nlirhts and a day tie
team got home, di ivca by one of the boys, the
only one able to walk, having on the sled the
girls locked tog' tner In the cold embrace of
death, another girl badly frozen, and the bovi
not quite so bad. The boy that was frozen the
leait says he supposed the cattle would go
home, but instead went tn another direction,
and stopped in a large marsh about a mile irom
the tchool-touse, w here they rem lined two
ntgMs and a day.
W hen It cleared so that they could see, they
stalled for home, and arrived In the cond.tioh

The Latest Freak of Fashion.
The new Spring bonnet is annonnced and has
created quite a sensation among the fair sex, and
is styled the "Gipsy." To give an adequate
idea of i's shape or construction is a ditucuit
tatk; but there is one thing quite certain it is
like aiijlliing else but a bonuet. In olden time?,
these coverings for the head were of ucn im
mense proportions, that it was necessary to peer
up a long passage in order to get a view of the
features ot the wearer. Of late years, however,
bonnets have become "smaller by degrees and
beautifully less," until now there is scarcely eny
thing lelt but the crown. Now, it is very evi
dent that it u proportiouflte diminution takes
place another year, bonnets will be whittled out
ot existence, 'and beco.ne things of the past.
But, to the "Gipsy" : tho shape is as near to
that of a soiip-pla as possible, providing the
nm was bent in a little on each side. It tits close
to the head about one-third of which it coveis.
But very little trimming is worn on the outside,
and the bonnet lifiue closely to tbe head
renders inside trimmings inadmissible to any
extent But few of tucse miniature head cover
ings are worn at present, on account of the
Spring season having scarcely commenced, and
perhups on account of the ladies being rather
ditlident in aciop ing the last monstrosity wntch.
Diirrjrj Fashion nas produced. The sex will come
to it, however. .iVeto ibrJj'un.

Medical Repot t of Freedmcn's Bureau.
The lollowing extracts from the report of Dr.
Caleb W. Horner, Chief Medical Ollicer of the
Freedmen's Bureau, will prove very interesting,
as a proof of tho rapid improvement effected by
this Department of the Bureau in the health of
those under its care:
Number of white refugees under medical
treatment from the organization of the Bureau
up to December Hi, 18G5, was 3G.i0, of whom 304
died, being a percentage of '08 of the whole
number under treatment. The per centago of
deaths up to September 30, 18G5, was '00; in Oc
tober it was '00; in November It was 'O!); and in
December it was "02. The number ot freed people
under medical treatment from the organization
of the Bureau up to December 31, 1805, was 90,522,
of whom 8374 dipd, being a percentage of "09 of
the whole number treated. The per centage of
deaths up to September, 1865, was 13; in October,
18C5, it was "07; in November, 18C5, 05; in De
cember, 18C5, it was "049. The report embraces
patients treated in hospital or visited in their
own quarters by tbe medical officers of the
Bureau. Many thousands of cases prescribed for
at the numerous dispensaries are not included.
The English Ministry.
The English Ministry has undergone exten
sive modifications since Earl Russell assumed
the Premiership in place of Lord Palmerston.
Sir Charles Wood, a painstaking but not very
brilliant statesman, retires irom the Indian Se
cretaryship, in consequence of a late accident,
and is succeeded by the Earl de Grey, who is to
be transferred from the War Oilice. Earl de
Grey is to have lor his Under Secretary a Mr.
Stanstield, who was elected from otlica by Lord
Palmerston (or some ia discreet aililiations with
Mazzini, which had provoked tbe ire of tbe
French Emperor. The Marquis of Hartington
is to be Secret ary ot War in place of De Grey,
with Lord Duilerin, transferred from the Indian
Department, as Under Secretary. Mr. Mouseil
succeeds Mr. Gceschen as Vice-President of the
Board of Trade.
These changes introduce a younger generation
Into place and power to succeed the old stand
bys of the Whig party, who have held oilice off
and on tor the last halt a century. Of course,
it is ail in the family, the new blood belonging to
the hereditary office-holders, who have been
shelved. It is doubtful whether the infusion of
this youthful aristocracy into the Cabinet will
really strengthen Earl Russell in Parliament or
tbrouehout Great Britain, but it will be at least
satisfactory to the old Whig ruling families, wh
see their teign perpetuated in their successors.
Mr. Gladstone Is the strongest man In the Cabi
net, and its continuance largely depends on him.
Meanwhile the progressive English Liberals are
growing in strength, and bide their time until
Mr. Bright can be made a member of a Ministry
that will reflect the more advanced ideas and
true Interests of the masses of the English
people. commercial Advertiser.
Steamboat Disasters.
The prevalence of steamboat disasters on the
Western waters is alarming enough to stop all
water travel in that region. Since the first of
December last, the number of steamers blown
up, burned, er sunk is not less than Jorty fow.
Three of these , wrecks have been reported
within the last forty-eight hours; one ot them
causing the loss ot thirty lives, ana another the
killing and wounding ol twenty persons. The
moot melancholy part of these disasters is tbe
destruction ot human life, but tho loss of pro
perty has also been immense. The frequency
of collisions ard tires shows a degree ot reck
lessness which deserves severe punishment ;
but the explosions of bad boilers prove that
inferior materials and bungling workmen have
too often been cm ployed. It is not likely that
we have yet seen the end of the appalling list.
, Stick tor the South.
The war used up the farm stock of the Sonth.
and the West and tho Northwest are now called
upon to supply the demand which arises with
the revival ot peaceful industries. The New
Albany (Indiana) Journal writes tbat the num
ber ot "mules sliipnd Irom that city and Portland
to the South since the 28th of November, 1865,
exceeds ten thousand, and shipments still con
tinue to be made without any abatement in num
bers. During no pievious season lor the past
ten years t as the number shipped exceeded eight
thousand. The prices of' mules rule hign, and
the supply In Southern Indiana and in Kentucky
is being rapidly diminished. Shipments, there-
lore, will soon lieu in to lull off. The shipments
ot horses since November have also been very
large.

First Yeto of n South Carolina Governor.
Under the old Constitution of South Carolina
the veto power was not vested in the Governor,
but the new Constitution has conformed in this
resnect to that of the oilier Slates. I
The first occasion pf the exercise of this newly
given power bv Governor Orr, was ia regard to
an "act to amend be patrol laws," which, in taut,
re-established the police regulations witn regara
to freedmen, which had once controlled them as
claves. . i
Tne Governor savs that, having accorded
freeootn to the African race in their midst, 'the
people ot South Carolina are bound by duw aud
policy alike "to give him all the concauiltauta
ol wnat ue regarua aa so great a Doon."

Tdb New Fbredmbn's BcnsAtr Bill. The fol
lowing ts the text ot the bill reported in tbe
Senate last Friday, to continue In force the
bureau lor the rebel ot freedmen and refugees:
Be it macfrd, ttc., Ihat the act entitled "An

A Lost Ancnivn. In the report of the nro-
ceediDcs of the Senate it will be lound that a
foint resolution has passed the Assembly autho
rizing tbe city ot wutlamsDurg to send to Lon
don tor a certified copy ol its lost charter, ihe
original one acrranted by their gracious Majes
ties King William and Mary, and bore their roval
sea'. It was dated about 1608, the time ot the
abandonment ot tne Jamestown colony, ana tne
removal ol the seat of government to Williams
burg, "whicn was a more heabliy place, and not
so much pestered with musquitoes."
It had been carefully preserved in Williams
burg not merely as a relic, but as a part of the
history ot the venerable town, it was removed
by General Wise In April, 1803, and brought to
Richmond, and deposited In the State Court
House for safe keeping, where it was destroyed
in the conflagration ot the 3d of April.
The application will be made, probably to the
Master ol the Rolls, and a certified copy will be
obtained, but it will never seem to the Williams
burg tolks like the dear old parchment now
ashes among tbe ashes of the Court House.

A Relic or thk Revolution. There is on ex
hibition at a jewelry store In Baltimore a relic
ot the Kevolutionary war ol exquisite manufac
ture, astwell as of great val le. It is a gold snuff
box. presented by Louis AVI, Kirgot Franc,
to Colonel John Laurens, of Soath Carolina,
Aid-de-Carop to General Washington, on the oc
casion of that officer's visit to France bv order
of the American Congress, to negotiate a loan
for his Government. The box, says the Sun, is
ot pure gold, the exterior beautifully enamelled
and studded witn diamonds. The top bears a
likeness of Louis XVI, set In a cluster of thirty
four diamonds, whilst the edge is surrounded by
tweuty-iour diamonds. This has been in the
lanniy ot the descendants ot colonel Laurens
since" the death of that gentleman, and is now
the property of a widow lady, who, havingLbeen
impoverished by the late Rebellion, sends it to
Baltimore for sale, in order to procure the neces-
sullen ui nil" lui iieiBen ttuu cunuieu. jvueuuv a

Retorted Arrest of Genkbal Forrest. A
Memphis paper, February 20, says: "We un
derstand that the Confederate General Forrest
was arrested on Saturday last by United States
Marshal Rider, on a warrant issued from the
United States District Court in March last, on
an indictment for treason. General Forrest
entered his personal recognizance for his ap
pearance at the ensuing March term of said
court."
The Memph!s Bulletin explains that the arrest
ot General Forrest is nothing more than a service
of notice by the Marshal of the indictment for
treason, found some months ago In Judge Triegs'
Court, against some two hundred or more citi
zens of le nnessee. General Forest amona tho
number. A very large numLer of these were
disposed of at the last term ot the Court by the
discharge of the persons indicted. General
F orest not being in Memphis, no notice was
served uoon him until the other day, when he
entered Into the nsual recognizance to appear
at tne marcn lerm oi uoun.
Pkopbrtt in Designs. A decision has recently
been given by the Belirian law courts which
throws s6me curious light upon the question of
property in designs in that country. A. M. Buys,
an architect, has, it appears, erected some law
courts in Brussels, the plans of which aro
claimed by a M. Gerard, who obtained an iirjunc
tron restraining payment of the sum in the hands
of the Minister of the Interior, which, in the
ordinary course, would have been received by
M. Suys as hi professional fee. M. Says next
brings an action against his opponent to compel
him to remove the injunction, and claiming
10,000 francs damages for the injury to his pro
fessional rrputatiop. Judgment was given for
the defendant, and the court directed Ji. Suys to
pay to M. Gerard the sum claimed. The esse
was referred to the superior court, who c8n
filmed the decision of the court below, and at
the same time condemned M, Buys In the whole
of the costs. London Header. ,
Bush op Emigration from Germany. A let
ter from Frankfort-on-the-Main states: The
emigration to your country continues unabated.
In 18U6 there went via Hamburg, 37,659 passen
gers, and embarked in ninety-fonr sailing ves
sels and thirty steamers; in 1864 there left only
i'j,7t, on tnirty snips, me numper oi tnose
who lett Europe via Bremen had reached already,
town of Herrenberg, in Wurtemberg, which
numbers only 2418 inhabitants, left during tne
last year 67 persons, taking with them, in hard
cash, over 25,000 gilders. There is not tbe least
doubt that the emigration from Europe, during
I860, will reach at least 300,000 pernons.
Slang. Old usages of modern slang words
turn up in unexpected quarters sometimes. Most
of us think that the word "jolly," in the sense of
very, extremely, is of recent dale; but in a seri
ous theological woik of two hundred years ago
John Trapp's "Commentary on the Old and
New Testament," (London, 1666-7) we read:
"All was jolly quiet at Ephcsus bofore St. Paul
came thither." We heard the same phrase from
a schoolboy's mouth, applied to a maiden aunt's
tea-party. Trapp's "Corumentary" is a great
favorite ol Mr. Spurgeon's. London Header.
Tni Cattl Plaque ajjo Vaccination. The
United States Consul at Manchester, England,
writes to the Department of State, under date ot
February 2, that, as a last resort, the experi
ment of vaccination was extensively tried
throughout England upon cattle, but had totally
tailed as a preventive In fact, tbe disease was
not even mitigated. The utmost precaution has
been used to keep the epidemic out of Ireland,
and thus far V ith success.

Faiisian Gossip.
A Paris letter in a London journal says:
"Rather a good thine was uttered here the other
night by a clever actress. A very old man having
died, his very old and attentive servant died the
next day. 'Depend upon it, bis master rang for
him,' was the remark."
Another correspondent writes tbat a "learned
professor," who was asked to give a lecture to an
institution, went and delivered his eloquence at
that institution, and only when It was over,
found that his best lauguage and lungest words
had been expended in vain, as he was in the
presence of a deaf and dumb college.
