Sewell, Revenue Agents Mitchell,, Grimmson, end Whitfcid, and the Distriet At~ ' “turncy. After a thorouzh discussion of the sit- uation it was resolved thau THE LIGHTNING SUGULD STRIKE TQ-DAY. Accordivgly this afternoon the officials pounced down upon the distilers ot Teipen & Co., on - the plank road, and the rectifying houses of Gobrecht & Brother, No. 518 Wainut street; Fred Schertz, No. 133 Court street; and Bernard Kuhlmann, whose place fs quite close to the distillery. The latteris 2 tumble-down serics of frame sheds, and has a daily capaaity of 650 bushels.: In Gobrecht’s, against which was the least evidence, were found PACEAGES OF STAMTS taken from Dbarrels 1o be used as they were wanted. Teipen’s books, over which two rev- enue oflicials will wrestle ail night, show con- clusive eviderce of fraud in conoection with FKuhhinaco, but, as one of the oflicials says, this w3 well known. Schertz had been removing stamps and sending them back to Kublmann for some time. The three rectifiers did quite gp extensive keg and jug busitess, and Kuhl- | mezuy for a long time bad becn in the habit of peddling the crooked wnisky around tbe coun- trr in jugs. The Deputy Collectors from ‘Weitzel’s office promptly responded to Gen. Bewel’s instructions, and seemed to be THOROUGELY IN EARNEST in their desire to remove the stigma which for £0 long a time has rested on the office, as the result of the inexcusable carelessness, to call it by no harsher name, of thelr Chief. Gobrecht's stamps show conclusively that, ‘when the spirits had been dumped, the Gauger bad not destroyed the stamp, or, if he had in- epected tne gcods, he did not return the slips. ‘The presumption is that they never were re- ported on Form 122 to the Collcctor, and cid not come under the observation of the Gauger. The principal stcal was perpetrated by the re- use of stamps, and getting back, with un- broken stamps, empty packazes from the retail dealers. While the rald was in progress, your cor- respondent was holdinz a conference on the Board of Trade with a knot of distillers, among whom were Kellore, Holterhofl, Green, of Gaff & Co., and Duckworth. They vizor- ously DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF ANY CROOKED- NESS or @ Rinz; admitted tnat they were losing Imoney at present prices; beasted of the fact that they had got a very lberal Zauge; carsed the country distillers for bearing the market, and generally abused the rectifiers because they would not pay any advanced price. Between times they abused Chicago to their heart’s con- tent, and fusisted that the difference of yicld in favor of Chicago was because ber distillers crowded their mashes, and couldn’t come out even on their grain account. One of the party admitted that the Gaugers on duty at rectifying houses accepted the gauge at the distillery as known by tbe stamp, which is a_very convenient arrangement {for all parties, as it enables the distiller and the rectifier to DIVIDE TAE PROFIT derived from the sale of the goods by the com- mereial gange. The officials are in possessession of testimony of amore or less damaging character azainst the distillerics of Holterheff, Kavser, Duck- worth, aud Rsbe, and it is ot unlikely that some orall of them will be seized within & few days. The necessary accompautment of the musie will be the capture of half a dozen rectifying estab- Jishments. INTERVIEWED.

The reporter assured him that he had been through one whisky war, and kuew something about the business, and suggested that the rea- son for the seizure was the double use of stamps. The sugcestion, the reporter is sorry 10 relate, Wwas received with scorn. The rectifiers also professed the most pro- found iznorance, and declined to talk about the raid. They, Jike Teipen, took refuse in the Jenguage of Bismarck. Gauger Darvis, the brother-in-law of Ben Eggleston, who was re- moved by Yaryan on account of his ‘bad avtccedents Land worse politi- cal conpections, was reinstated and is to-day in oflice. The statement to the con- trary in the dispatch of last night was an error. Egrleston seems to be A SORT OF JAKE REMM in wolitico-sniritual matters here. He has had the appoiutment and remoyal of Gaugers within bis control - just as vake did in Chicamof sna has used the power, as far as can be ascer- tained, to further his politiesl views. - How it has sffected bLis pecuviary status is not kuown, but the'reader can imagine to suit himself, Morgan 8.

REACTION AGAINST THE WAR TORIES. tondon Soectator, Aprit 27, One of the most important events of the week has been the utter rout of the “IJmgo * party at Tamworth. Mr. Ranbury, it will be remem- bered, resigned bis scat to accept the seat va- cated by Sir Charles Adderley (now Lord Nor- ton) for North Staffordshire, for which he was clected without a contest. In bis room, Mr. Bridgman,—a som of Lord Bradford’s,— was proposed far Tamworth, and it was supposed that he would have ap casy victorv. Mr. Hamar Bass, how- ever, entered the field in the Liberal interes:, and especially a8 & strong opponent of Lord Beaconsfield’s tawdry foreizn policy, and. was elected, being declared at the bead of the poll on Wednesday by the great majority of 579. Indeed, the Liberals were nearly two to one of the Conservatives. And thé proportion of votes polled was very large indeed. The vum- ter of names on the registry was 2,000, Mr. Bass polled 1,186 votes, “a2nd Mr. Bride- man 607, givine a tota]l of 1,73 votes actually miven. About 100 votes were citber dead or absent, so that only 197 nersons either abstained or gave vorcs which were wast- cd for some informality. The election is, in- deed, one of the most siznal and significent ex- ‘pressions of opinion delivered by any constitu- ency for many years, and seemns tous to indicate that while Lord Beaconsfield has been recog- mzed as the commander of tie vessel of the State. the confidence of the peonle was really reposed in Lord Derby, who was looked upon as the master, and as virtually responsible for the sailing orders, Clearly the dispatcii of In- um;xt ;ruons to Malta bas not delighted Tam- worth. OUR COMMUNISTS. THE LONDON TIMES APPRECIATES THE SITGA TION. g LoxpoxN, May 11.—Dispatches from America reporting apprehensions of a Communistic outbreak are attracting attention. Tbe weneral opinion is that it will be the worse for Com- munists. : The Times, on the subject, concludes as fol- lows: “If, as we willpot auticipate, the United States is destined to go through a social erisis of this kind, we shall doubtless hear again, as we used to hear fifteen years ago, a good deal about “the evil effects of democratic intstitu- tions. If. however, itis the weakness of the institntions like those of Americh to mive toler- ant encoursgement to allsorts of experiments in social and political organization, it is their strength to be AILE TO SURVIVE THEM, to profit by their success, ana to be little worse for their fafture. 'The fabric of American socie- ty is 50 strong that it can sustain with littie or no injury shocks which would be fatal to weaker and wmore effete constitutions. Inthe United States, frecdom of discussion Is the safety valve through which 3 great deal ot superfluous polit- dcal steam cscapes. Americans have political sagacity euough to distinguish sharply betweea interuperate or even revolutionary speech and rebellious actiou. They have unbounded tol- eratfon for the one, but have never shown any great patience for the other. We do not doubt that if they bave to deal with any dangerous form of Communism they will deal with it el fectively. The social fabric of the United States is as capable of successfully resisting such at- tack as that of any State in the world.” A POOR SHOT. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE EMPEROR WILLFASL BerLiy, May 11-3 p. m.—~At 3:30 this after- woon, a8 Emperor William was returning from a drive with the Grand Duchess of Baden, sey- eral shots from a revolver were tired at him in the Avenue Unter den Linden.

Beruiy, May 1L.—The city is greatly excited in cousequence of the attempt upon the life of the Emperor.

The greatest confusion and con- stérpation ensued. When arder was restored, the compartments were searched for the dead and wounded: Some of the latter had arms ond legs broken. - A few were burned about the head and face. It isbelicved that, when the extent of the disaster is ascertained, the figures given in the dispatches Jast night of the injured ana killed will be considerably increased. Three tugms were sent for the passencers, and with medical afd for the wouuded, who were temporarily placed fn a warchouse on the guay. Subsequently they were taken to the Derry Infirmary, and three of them were last alglit pronounced hope- less. Two of the bodies recovered were identi- fied a5 members of - the crew. Some passengers are reported missing, but this may be owing to the existing confusion, and to the fact that a nls;]fmy of the passengers do not speak En- & fiu‘louz the Sardinian’s passengers are forty orphan children, destined for domestic service in America. The Fire Brizade of Derry went to the vesset in & special steamer, but their efforts to extin- guish the fire were unavailing.

DENNIS. 4 TALK WITH THAT GREAT MAXN. Speclal Dispatch to The Tibune, New Yorg, May 11.—A Washington special to the Times gives an interview with Dennis, as he was about to leave Washington. The cor- respondent says Dennis has been very reticent, and evidently dissatisfied with the treatment received from the Democrats. He left for Florida very much out of humar, declaring that the pledees made to him by the Democrats were not fulfilled. He has no faith fn the sincerity of the Democrats 1n professing to desire a thorough investization, and intimates that ‘when they open the inquiry a state of facts will be developed which will quiet their cry of fraud against the Republicans. TE IS VERY INDIGNANT over what he calls the treachery of the Demo- crats in making puolic his statement in refer- ence to Alachua County, but insists that the facts sct forthin the statement are true. Fol- lowing ave parts of the interview: 8o you ddn’t have much confidence in the eagerness of the Democratic Jeaders to investi- gate the Florida election?” “I nave no con- fidence fn their exgzerness. L did believe that they wanted to show up the Florida fraud, as it is called; but, since X bave been in Washington, for the las: two weeks, I have found that what they do waut, is to show up Repub- Tican frauds, and to suppress every particle of evidence of their own crimes snd treachery.” Do you know as much of Democraticfrauds in Florida as you have stated in regard to Re- publizan frauds?? ¢1 tbink I might enlichten these Demorratsa little oun that subject, but Republican evidence wouldn's be very satisfactory to them. They want to convict Republicans of all the deviltry in Florida AND CLEAR TIEIR OWN SKIRTS, Iwas willing to 2id them in the righteous purpose of exposing all the fraud that could possibly bo ot at, and then let them strike a batance and see whois on top.” Vhat do you imagine to be the reason for this lukewarmness of the Demecerats In this matter of {nvestigation?”” “Why, somebody is bound to be hurt. This investigntion gun scat- ters badly. It does not involve Florida~ alone. That Wortoley Hotel business and the Louisi- ana clection must come in for a little attention, and I reckon that some prominent Democrats, and a certain very promincnt Repablican in the Adwministration, are slightly uneasy about it.”” * dave you any objection to mention whom yourefer to?”? “Isce no necessity for calling names. Ithink 1 am understood, and what I know I know positively enough to put the mat- ter at rest.” *“Then sou have no idea that the Democrats of the House DARE PROCEED TO INVESTIGATE the Presidential canvass fairly and sincerely?" “T have given you already my opinion. [ think they are acting very cowardly, and with con- temptible weakness. They zive the country to understand they are deeper fn the mud than the Republicuns, and they scem to exhibit no tact whatever in geiting out of the mud. I opresume the President knows all the facts, and {f the Democrats are nuxious to savestizate hie is quite witling they should. I suppose o fesww Republicans might suffer from such an investigation, but I tell you if some of the tall sycamores among the Democrats don’t get overthrown then I'm greatly mistaken.” “ Do you intend to remain in Florhla and continue to be. identificd asa Republican in politics there?” ¢ Well, [can’t say. Florida ismy bome. I am, always have been, and always shall- - be o Republican in convictions, but it has got to be a crime to be a Republican in the Soutl. If I should tell you the story of political campalgning in Florida during the lastten years it would make your nerves quiver, and you wouldn’t probably believe one-half the facts £ could prove.” WILL TAKE A HAND. THOE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME IN THD EVENT OF AN ELECTORAL INVESTIGATION. Spectat Dispazch (o The Tridune. Wasmneros, D.

Tho Speaker holds that the question is ot such a character that the minority hus a right to have such propositions as it chooses to suomit, cither by way of an amendment or substitute, passed upon by the House, and ke will cither rule that these propo- sitions can be accepted as an amendment, or, in case they are wnot accepted, he will recognize whoever presents a proposition from the Republicans immediately after they vote upon a Democratic proposition under tue two-thirds rule, so that the Republicans shall have an opportunity of a vote in the House: [ accordance with this understanding, Hale, of Maine, has drawn upa resolution at consider- able lenzth reciting what the Republicans maintain they can prove in regard to the at~ tempted Democratic frauds in Louisiana and Florida, snd also in Oregon, and probably in Banning’s district in Ohio. This proposition will be presented in the House as an amend- ment ta the Democratic resolution, provided this matter Is finally brought in. NOTES AND NEWS. THE INTER-STATE COMMERCE BILL, Spectal Dispatch to The Trivune. WasmyeTos, D. C., May 1L.—Comparatively Iittle procress was made to-day with the bill re- garding inter-State commerce, beyond reaching & point where greneral dabate was closed and the bill thrown open for amendments. It was opposed on two grounds: First, by severa) Western members, who argued that it was hos- tile to tue interests of the agricultural class and in the interest of the great railroad monopolies of the country. Mr. Potter, of New York, op- posed it on the old Democratic idea of denying the rigkt of the General Government to inter- fere to regulate commerce as proposed by the vending bill.” The chief amendment adopted this alternoon was one forbiddine railroad com- panies {from combining azainst river rontes, and raising their tariff at a time when the rivers are closed by fce. At 4o'clock it was contended that under the arrangement by which the bill pecame a special order, the orevious question was to be ordered at that time. Had thiz been done it would have resulted in the defeat of the bill, 82 many pending amendments would have been cut off. Reagan, however, agreed that if the previous question was reached when the bil} came up again. he would ask to have the maip question crdered, and then to reconsider that vote, and thus tbrow the bill open to amendment MAIL CLASSIPICATION.

C., May 11.—Tbe House has taken up the bill regulating inter-State com- merce, and it is not likely that anv Florida Investizating resolution will be considered to- day. Mr. Hamiiton, from the Committec on For- eirn Affairs, reported a bill in the matter of the Venezuels claims. It authorizes the President to enter into further convention with Vene- zucla in case that Government should desire a bearing of any of the cases decided by the Com- mission herctofore organized. Printed and re- committed. ‘The following bills passed: To restore to the markey certain lands to Utah for the relief of settlers on public lands, providing that any per- ou who shall plant and maintain for eight years ten acresof tunber jand, shall be entitted ton patent for snch quarter gection: —permitting Nebraska to cede cstain territory to Missouri; pro viding for the sale of timber lands in Califoraia, Oregon, Washinzton Tesritory, Nevada, and Col- orado, in quantities not exceeding 150 acres to any one ¢itlzen, At a minimuma price of 2. 50} per acre, Tn%mv ing it unlawlul to cut any timber on public ands.

Reagan called up the bill to rezulate inter- State transportation by raiicoads, and to prohibit unjnst discrimination by common carriers. Mr. Brazg made a sueech aguinst the bill as not being what it purports to be, a bill to restrict rail- road monopoles, but a biil in the nterest of the great railroad kings, as shown by the fact that the Pennsylvania Lemslatare (Tom Scott's Legisia- ture) had instructed representatives of that State to support it. The bill was an absolute prohibition acainst competition. It protected one zreat trank line from anothor, Scott from Garrett, and both from Vanderbilt, and. ot being obliged to firht each other, they woud join in consuminz all that the grassboppers had left to the farmers of the West. g 3fr. Phitlips ooposed the bill on the ground that its practical effect would be to make it impossible for ratlronds to ship froight over great continuons lines, and that it would thus cripple the industries of the country. Mr. Potter also opposed the bill, and it was then read by scctions. A long debare followed, in which the principal objection expressed acainst the bill was that its meaning was buried away in such n mass of verbi- aze as to make it almost unintehigible. The Hoase proceeded to vote on the amendments, Mr. Cannon oftered an amendment probibiting ““pooling " arrangements of rmlroad companie: Agrecd to. Without disposing of the bill (on which, how- cver, the previous guestion was seconded 0 a3 to koep it before the House) adjoarnment took place. ———— OHIO LEGISLATURE.
