THE SMVGGLJSG JiUSlXESS.
Recent revelations fully demonstrate
that the government is annually do-
lrauded out of millions of dollui-s of
revenue by "letter A. No. 1" merch
ants. Tbt the artwt morcantilo firm
of 11. II. Claflin 4 Co. should have en
gaged in this infamous business, as
tonishes man'. We are not one of
that number. Sinco his report in tho
Boocher caso wo have lost all faith in
him as a "christian" merchant, and an
upright citizen. Tho Beccher report,
and the revelations before tho Now
York grand jury develop tho true
character of the head of that mnmoth
rm, if not all of them.
The following detailed statement of
this smuggling business we find in the
Now York bun ot tbo 11th :
Judge Benedict was on tho bench in
the I'uited Stutos Circuit Court, Crim
inal Branch, promptly at 1 1 A. u. yes
terday, to receive presentments from
tho grand jury, but a quorum of that
body was not in attendance until an
hour later. When the requisite ium-
her of jurors were nt length got togeth
er, they entered with a lnrgo bundle
ot indictments. As wns expected,
thoy were voluminous presentments
gainst all the men prominently men
tioned heretofore as implicated iu the
great silk smuggling frauds discovered
somo time ago, including Horace 1).
Claflin and all hit partners. These in
dictments are founded tion section
2,082 ot the Revised Statutes, which
reads as follows :
"If any person shnll fraudulently or
knowingly import or bring into tho
r lined States, or assist in fo doing,
any merchandise contrary lo law, or
shall receive, conceal, buy, sell, or in
nny manner fucilitato tho transporta
tion, concealment, or sulo of such
merchandise' alter transport nt ion,'
knowing the same In have been im
ported contrary to low, such merchan
dise shall be forfeited, and the otl'eudcr
shall be fined in any sum not exceed-
ng 83,110(1, nor less than .!, or be im
prisoned for any time not exceeding two
ycars,or both. Whenovcron trialfor vio
lation ofthis section tho defendant is
shown to have, or have had.posscssion of
such goods, such evidence shull bo
deemed evidence suflicient to authorize
conviction, unless tho defendant shall
explain the possession to the satisfac
tion of tho jury."

Claflin A Co., in which Willium It. Tal-
cott, their buyer, is joined, and Iho

ent transactions. The following is a

Tbo second oount of this indictment
differs from tho nbovo only in charg

ot the same. The third count varies

things, on Nov. 3, 1874, $35,000 being

Tho Grand Jury has not finished Its
labors, but is to bu discharged on Mon

the Collector of the Port tho re-examination
of the suspected imports of
Philip Schtilhofr Co. of 477 Broomo
street. Tho examiners inspected flU'
tivo cases in Field, Morris, l-'eiijier k
Co.'s auction rooms, seventy nine in
bonded warehouses nt (!02 and 004
Washington street, and eight at 58
Luight street. Ono case called silk
crape, invoiced us 5-4 goods, measured
only 20 inches in width. Tho experts
unil government examiners report sev
enty-nine cases us correct in vuluo anil
classification, twenty casus as under
valued from ten to twelve and a half
per cent. The penalty is twoiity-fivo
per cent, of their value. Two esses
of mulines consigned to Schulhoff A
Co. wore found to bo undervalued 23
por cent., and suit was bcaun for their
forfeiture on Wednesday.
Another caso ot silk goods imported
by Schulhoff A Co. was ordered into the
soizuro room of the Costom Houso
yesterday, on tho charge of being un-
uervaiiicu. jir. w. u. Uitchcock, tho
importer who started tho investiga
tion into Schulhoff A Co.'s revenue
truiksuctions, said yesterday that tbo
end of the ease had not been reached.
His complaint is that tho Montossny
troblo crapes imported by Schulhoff 1
Co. from Lyons have boon largely un
dervalued, nnd he is ready to provo
the charge at the proper time. Tbiw
of tho suspected cases of troblo cropea
aro in the seizure room in the Custom
Houso, and Mr. Hitchcock expects to
sustantinte his charges when the goods
aro appraisod. There are two suits
pending in the United States Court
against Schulhoff & Co., ono of which
is for undervaluing plushes. The sus
pocted goods of the firm are still un
der suveillunco, and tho Appraiser, it
is snid, will order a new examination
of somo of tho eases, not being satis
fied with the one already made by bis
officers.
Tho first fruit of tho information
given to tho governmont by Lafny
etto Graff, ono of Lawrence's confed
erates in tho smuggling business, is the
seizure by Deputy Survovor Nichols
of eight cases of silk tastings and ser
ges invoiced us Balmoral skirts. The
goods wero shipped through tho Cus
tom iiouso Dy j.awrcnco a year ago
with the connivance of Dopnty Col
lector Dos Anges, and wero placed bv
Graff in the auction house up town to
bo sold. The goods are worth several
thousand dollars.

Mr. Charles Nordhoff, in bis last '
letter from Louisiana, tells tho follow
ing illustrative story :
"A prominent citizen of New Or
leans suid to me, when, in 1808, tho
blacks were tor tho hrst time to vote,
I was a candidate for office, and ' I
heard just before the election, that
John, a man 1 had raised, who was
my personal servant, and who, since
his freedom, has lived with his family
in a house of my own, rent free, was
going to voto against mc. Now, 1
love ine uoy lino a Drother, but 1 cull
ed him to mo and asked tho question,
and I was deeply irritated. Ho replied
that if I was on tbo Republican ticket
he would gladly vote lor mo ; but if
not, ho would certainly voto against
mo, 1 told him if ho did ho must
leave and not show me his face again.
Tho next dav was election day. I
watched tbo poll, which was near my
houso. I saw John come to voto ; ho
