I'thind the tenant house, and fiep- aratod from it by a small yard, is a two stor'v, .double In irk boose, to which ac cess is only. untamed by the passage way through the larger building and the yard. On one side of ilie , wooden stoop is a room used as a wal-romu'by the inhabi tants of the tenant house, and the other is a small, dark room, dingy and covered wiih cobwebs.- Outside : the window, which reaches to the ground, is a small pine board 'conveying the intelligence (in printer's) ink) that the establishment is a " Printing Office." Passing through the washing room into a passage way, a glass door is ihe only -obstacle to the interior of the "office."

In. a closet af the back of the room were piled up packages of counterfeit 50 cent currency, well execut ed and neatly tied up. The plates were nowhere to be found, though . the detec tives were satisfied that they , were con cealed about , the .premises. . Axes , and hatchets were brought in to requisition, and an onslaught made npon ' the floor ing. Iu a few' minutes a loose plank was discovered ;' this was ripped up,' and underneath were found four plates, two bed-pieces, aud a transfer roller v,1 he bed-pieces are first engraved, the impression istaken from them on the transfer roller, 'from which - any - number of printing plates may be made.' The plates were steel, and the engraving re markably well executed.' The' presses, rollers, paper, ink, colors', and oil were qnickly transfered to a car in attendance, and the plates and money .to the carriage, and in a few minutes the raiding party was back in the Secret Service. Ofticej i . The Coulouel considers this the : most importaut haul of the season. About a week ago he effected tbe arrest of the gang, ten in number.'
