8 ike Jlcvenne Law and Spirits." Distilled 2Y the Editor of f As Evening Telegraph: 2 don't know bow or where you got the lnfor aation contained In your editorial of Satur day, In regard to the "Reyenae Law and Dis tilled Bplrlta," but the facta stated are correct jrom the beglnlnng to the end of the article. The frauds that have been perpetrated on the ttovernment In the distillation of spirits have feeen enormous. But that is not the worst of It It has been the means of corrupting and demoralizing a large portion of onr commu nity. Men of means and respectability, who would not wish to be known as participants In these fraud, are the actual owners of these dis tilleries. They furnish the means and set some unknown man up in the business, which is carried on in his name. They share the profits, and they know those profits can only be ob tained by defrauding the Government. As you justly say, there need be no fraud in this business, if the Government has competent ad honest officials. The product of the still Jon be correctly estimated lrom the quantity of material used, and the quantity of material can he ancertained from the number of gallons found in each fermenting vat. Take what may Cecal led a small distillery, for example. It has ne mash-tub. known from its dimensions tQ toe of twenty-five bushels, fifty bushels, or one hundred bnthels capacity. In this tub a mash f much leBB quantity than its capacity cannot e TnnJe to advantage It takes six or seven hours to make the matin. A small mash cannot he made as easily in the tub as a mash of tho tub's capacity. The same time, the same labor, and the same quantity of fuel are required to wake a small maun as a large one. It is not nrobable, therefore, that a distiller would make a mash of much less material than the capacity "Voir this one mash-tub the distillery must have six or seven fermnntlng vats. Each vat will hold one mash, and it will not do to put a nash made one day in the same vat with a snasb made the day before. A mash must re main in the vat three or four days before the beer Is ready to run tlirouKU the still. It Is known that the distiller uses a certain quantity of water lor each bushel of grain, and as the vats are all numbered, and the dimensions of them exactly taken, it Is a very easy matter for the Assistant ABsensor, who visits the dis tillery daily, and measures the quantity of the jnssh found in each fermenting vat, to ascer tain with an approach to correctness the quan tity of grain used in each mash, and conse quently the number of gallons of whisky that ought to come from the still. The distiller is required by the law to make an entry in bis distiller's book of the quantity of grain put into each mash, And ft is the Assistant Assessor's duty to make and report to the Assessor every day the entry from the book and the quantity of mash found in each fermenting vat. When these do not correspond the Collector seizes the distillery, and the AsuesHor proceeds to make an assessment of the tax on the whisky that ought to be pro duced from the mash In the vats. All your recommendations are good, but most of them are already provided for by the exist ing laws and regulations. I especially agree with you in your last proposition thai ''all re striction as to meters, cistern room. etc.. be abolished," and that distillers be allowed to draw off their whisky whenever they please. It Is only necessary to know the quantity of material in the vats, and the quantity of whisky they return, to be able to assess them Jor all they make. B. A Singular Occurrence A Vessel De serted on the Ocean. A correspondent of the Gazette, of the Rus sian Academy, writing from Archangel, says that the slow approach of summer this year has occasioLed disastrous consequences, to a number of vessels which are accustomed to visit that port. lie then mentious the following extra ordinary circumstances attending the arrival of a ehip: On June 26 there arrived a vessel, the captain f which declared, at the Custom House, that he neither knew its owner, whence it came, nor its destination. The cnptaiD, an Englishman, of the name of Tumi, made the lollowtne deposi tion: On June 17 quitted the port of Tramsoe, on the English ship Kident, bound for Archangel. On June 18 the course of the vessel was ob structed by fields of ice to such a degree that she could not be extricated. On the following day the Eident had suffered so many reverses that she was in danger ot foundering, aud the Captain and all hands would have peri6hed had it not been for the ap proach of the English ship Industry, on board of which they were taken by Caotain Macbeth. On going on hoard nothing was saved lrom the Evdent. Twenty-tour hours subsequently the Industry hailed a ship moving along in full sail. No response was given, as not a soul could be discovered on her deck. The strange vessel, which proved to bo the Da Capo, had seven and half feet of water in her hold, but had suffered so other damage. Captain Turef and his crew were transferred en board, after having nnmneri nut tho ncto. J . 1 www vuv TT , and continued their voyage until they arrived at Arcnangei. ah mat can be learned ot the vivsterlous vessel is confined in Ha Tam Whether It had been abandoned, or had been the scane ot some terrible maritime dram nobody knows, no document having been found n uuaru Kivmg nuy ciue to its ownership, Strange to say, there was a sufficiency of pro. viBwuB iur mc rciiiniuuer oi me vovaee. . rvuTTHU,u: fcx. a citrf Buourr, duly 11.

A "revised Republican ticket," more popularly known as the "Long Hair ticket" (as the regular Republican is called the "Short Hair"), bears the. names of Caleb T. Fay, of San Francisco, for Governor; Benj. It. Nickerson, of 8an Fran cisco, lor Secretary ot State; William Jones, of El Dorado, lorController; and Ed. C. Jeffries, of Rn Francteco, for State Printer; but in all other respects conlorms to the regular nominations. The objection to Mr. Gorham is that he is an adventurous youth, put forward in the interest ot the great moneyed corporations. Mr. Gor ham was, only four or five yearB ago, a reporter on the ban Francisco A!ta; subsequently Pri vate Secretary to Governor Low; and is now Clerk of the United States Circuit Court. The objection to William H. Parks aud Josiah Howell, candidates for Secretary ot State and Controller, respectively, Is that they abused their powers as members of the State Central Committee to so apportion the Convention and manipulate its earlier proceedings, that Gorham won by a fraudulent and meagre majority. The objection to Mr. McCarthy, of the San Francisco Flag, candidate for State Printer, is that he is a poltroon, and his paper a "rat" ollice, and beggar at all doors. John Bid well, a member of the last Congress, and probably the wealthiest agriculturist on the Pacific slope, was the rival candidate in the Convention that nomi nated Gorham, and undoubtedly embodied the preferences of fonr-fliths of the party. He wus subeequently named on the bolters' ticket, Jor Governor, but declined, and counsels union in support of the regular nominations. The bolters' Con ver lion, although encouraged by the most powerful Republican newspapers of the State, as the San Francisco Bulletin, the 8acramento Union, etc., represented only fourteen counties, and by the declaration of Mr. Bidwell the move ment looses all its importance, and is reduced to the extremity of taking up Mr. Caleb T. Fay, a San Francisco merchant of much self-esteem and of great pretensious for office never before eratitied. All the prominent "Long Hair" poli ticians, as Governor Low, A. A. 8nrscnt, Frank M. Plsley, etc., now support the Gorham ticket. and we may safely predict its election by full 20,000 majority. This result Is understood, if not conceded, to carry with it the re-election ot John Conness to the United States Senate. So far as national questions are concerned. both wings of the Republican party are pro nouncedly radical. Mr. Gorham points to speecnes ana newspaper articles eany disco vering the treachery of Andrew Johnson, and denouncing his "policy. Senator Conness is one of the Congressional Executive Committee (ot radicals), and his puouc record nas been honorable and consistent. The Congressional nominees are Timothy U. Phelps, a member of the first Congress of the war; William Hlgby. a member of the last two Congresses; and Chan cellor Hartson, a new man and a radical. The Democracy ot California, who used to be manipulated by "Duke" Gwln, Judce Terry, John Nugent, etc., have this year thrown off their old leaders, ana nominated ior governor Mr. Henry H. Haight, a young San Francisco lawyer (son of the late United States Judge, Fletcher M. Haicht), who is already called "the James T. Brady of the California bar." Mr. Haieht made "war speeches" during the Re bellion, Is a popular orator, and of untarnished personal reputation. The republican split nrst encouraged Democratic hopes of his election now dispelled, however, by the substantial agreement oi tne dominant party. About Tomatoes. Tomato Catsup.
