Prettyman, has for some time past suspected that illicit distillation was being carried on,and the investigation of the Supervisor fully confirmed the suspicions of the Collector.

SHERMAN'’s Commission AS SEORE- TARY OF WAR.—The commission issued by President Grant to General Sherman as Secre- tary of War bears date of the 9th S=ptember, and supersedes the ad interim commission dated the day before. It was issued to obviate the requirements of the law, which requires that ad interim sppointments of cabinet officers shall not last longer than ten days. It is probable: however, that a3 soon as, if not before Con. gress meets, the President will select some other person for the permanent nomination. Incomz Tax ON SuakeR Cowmunities — General Durbin Ward has been employed as attorney to represent all Shaker communities in the country, to argue their case before Com. missioner Delano, upon his ruling that in making income returns each society is to be treated as one person, and only allowed single exemptions of $1,000. The claim of the Shakers is that a fair construction of the law should allow $1,000 exemption for every five indi- viduals, five being considered the average number of a family, so that they should not be taxed unproportionally. The case was ar- gued at length by General Ward before the Commissioner yesterday. Raisinc His PaY.—Commissioner Delano bas renewed the commission of J. J. Brooks, the revenue detective who was recently shot in Philadelphia, as a special detective, to con- tinue during the pleasure of the Commissioner, and raised his pay from #4 to $10 per day.

A large number of our citizens assembled last evening at the Kirkwood House, to meet and confer with Mr. F. S. Leon, the originator of the project of holding an International Industrial Exposition im this city im 1871. Dr. J. L. Kidwell was chosen Chairman, and Mr. Hallet Kilbourn Secretary. Among those present were H. A. Willard, C C. Willard, W.G. Metzerot:, Alex. R. Shep- herd, J. L. Kidwell, W.S. Huntington, Col A.G. Allen, Hallett Kilbourn, R.S. Davis, W. B. Reed, Jos. J. May, Thomas Antisell, J. Oleott, Col. Dayton, chiet of Gen'l Sherman's staf; Gen’l N. Jeffries, L. F. Giark, Col. Wm. Wall, Charles Gautier, J. W. Boteler, E.G. Davis, D. 0. Forney, and many others. At the request of Mr. A. R. Shepherd, Mr. Leon stated the object he bad in calling this meeting. He said that months ago he came here, made the acquaintance of some ef our leading men, end broached the subject. They seemed favorably impressed with the ides, bat Were reluctant to take the initiatory steps; willing to co-operate, but too modest te lead. Had his convictions been weaker or his tem- perament less sanguine, he should have dis- continued his efforts entirely. However, earnestly believing that he was right, he re- solved, unknown and feeble though he might be, that so grand sud promising a projec. should not die for the want of a sponsor. When this determination was made known to some of our best men, they gave it their warm approval, and hence the invitations they had received to meethim. Thus far he had done what he conceived to be hisduty. If success is to be attained, others also must work, and he telt assured there are none more willing and better qualified to perform that work than those assembled, to whom he respectfally and confidentry submitted the whole matter. At the conclusion of Mr. Leon’s remarks, Mr. Shepherd said he was one of the earnest advocates of holding the World's Fair in the city ot Wasbington, and was willing to give his time, his influence and money to help make the project @ success, one that would be a credit to the city. He trusted that the citizens of Washington would take a lively interest in the matter, and give it their unanimous sup- Pportand heartiest ce-operation. If Congress ‘was willmg to sanction and assist the enter- prise of the le, well and good; it aot, ‘was in tavor of holding the fair anyhow, and rely upon the energy and enterprise of the peo- ple to carry mto execution the plans n to insure the greatest success. Such action ‘would do more to stop the infamous — re- moty Sie capital than anything e! that conld be done. The Secretary then read a portion of the cir- cular iscued by Mr. Leon, as follows:—It is proposed to maugurate in the city of Wash- ington, in the year 1871, a grand International Indvstrial Exposition upon a scale similar to those that the creative hund of genius and the inspiring mind of energy have recently exhib- ited in London and Paris. An intelligent citizen of Wasbington—tne capital of an immense nation that can draw a grateful tribute from a continent embracing every production and every climate—should require very little argument to satisfy him of the propriety or the feasibility of this project, startling and stupendous as it may appear. ‘To the judge of its desirableness and of its practicab lity, it is impertant to look tosomeot tbe results of those magnificent enterprises which, for the time being, made London and Paris the dazzling centres of the entire world.

Such a movement would give an inconceivable im- prise to all departments of trade in the city. ‘t would enlist the proud and warm sympatiy and the cordial, munificent aid of Congress; it would open and multiply and beautity our thoroughfares; it would stretch out its benefi- cent arms around the adjoining cities of Mary- jand and Virgi and it would mvest the capital of the uation with a permanent life and grandeur which would render it more and more worthy of the name of the first. the last, the only WASHINGTON.
