Parties would not or could not comedown ; weeks went ori, and Collector threatened to confiscate and sell, Brewer could not, or would not pay the the ten thousand, and said 'go ahead.' This was hot the game, however. By going ahead 'and confiscating Government would gel only his legal rights. -Thht would not do at all. The unpeachable and honest public servant became more docile and less desperate in 4 iiis demands ; he would tide 'live thousand.' Brewer would not respond ; more time was lost. At last, one of the Washington cabal, Secretary Go-snuoks, arrived in town:and the in tractable refectory brewer was verypo. litoly invited to the office of the Collet for and a comma:tits wstaaffectod. The amount paid was three thousaud dollars Secretary Go-snuoke and the tfoimpeech able Collector each pocketed thirteen hundred,dollers, and the starving and hungry Treasury of the Tnited Slate obtained the sum of four hundred dollars out of three thousand, while the 'lona in formers,' of cense feelieg a east deal ifeeper interest in the government than in their own affairs, did not get the first smell of the reward of their loyalty.
