This innocent act on the part of Mr, Anderson aroused the ‘muspicions of the vigilant Gitlen, who reso!ved on follow. ing bim to the bitter end, But it would seem the eccentricities of the citizen did not e1 there, He next pptied a revolver from hie pocket and discharged the contents of one of the barrels. ), persuaded that the shot was intended for him, son, sick in band, and to that xen- ry ery great surprise arrested him, and incited on bis accompanying him to the s'ation house, where the officer on duty, on bearing the prisoner's story, u- hesitatingly retarned te him his pist The vigilant M, P., not sattefled, however, with the explanation, in- sisted on taking Mr. Anderson before Justice Connolly, presiding at the Fourth District Police Court, for a more particnlar examination into bis eon In the presence of the magistrate officer Gillen admutted that the night was exceedingly cold, and that therefore it was not, when he fuliy considered the matter, so very extraordinary a thing tora peron to protect his person 80 far as he pos:ibly could from the cold; and that when the pinst was fired he, the complainant, was standing at ast sixty paces from where Mr, Anderson was stand- mg. On hearing these statements on the part of tho officer Jndze Connolly at once dismissed the prisoner form custody, holding hit, however, in $200 bail for Violating an ordinance, in that he fired a pital within the corporation limita, Cuaxcr oy Faise Prerexcw,—Lucion Albetis, an Italian, thirty-four years of age, living at No, 80 Uni- versity piace, amd by ocoupation a professor of music, was yesterday arrested by oflicer Leayeraft, of the Tombs Police Coart, on a warrant issued by Justice Hogan charging him wkh false pretences.

ES that ‘The prevability of a reduction im the tax on distited spirits is oxercising the distillers and dealers in whiskey toa very great degree, The trade is about equally di- vided as to what will be the action of Congress in the Premises, though the entire vowe ef the manefactering ‘mterest in this section is for a reduetion—@ty eenis per gallon being the favorite figure The Congressional Commitiea of Ways and Means, as ie well known, have had for some time under‘eonsideration framing ef ‘an entirely D Rave already beem called before the committee, and have given their views a@ to what sheald be the main previsions of the new enactment. Among others a gentleman mow of tins city, once largely en- aged sn the distillery business in Kentucky, has, at the request of the principal officers of the Internal nue Department, propared a pian for collecting the tax, ‘which will be forwarded to Washington at an early day. ‘This plan suggests x “‘eapacity” system, but proposes the estimating of that capacity by a method never be- fore brought to the attention of the authorities. It is claimed that this roximaie calculation will allow vory litte margin for fraud, as the estimate made in accordance with the saggestions will eover at least nivety per cent of the product of any distillery. The plan also the formation of a burean to be de- voted wholly to the coliection of the tax on spirits, ard oreaies a supervisory efficer, ander whose immediate charge and control are to be placed all ims; gang- ers, assistant assessors and Other sub-officors who are now empleyed in this branch of the revenue servies. ‘The tax, it suggests, should be reduced as a means of lessening the incentive to frand; bat the modus operandi of the pian is euch that it can be effectually worked, ever should Congress refuse to abate the amount of impost now demanded by the law. Goflector Blake, of the Seventh district, yesterday seized au ilheit distillery ia the basement of the tene- ment house No, 440 Bast-Twelfth street, The still is of about thirty gallons capaciy, and when the seizure was made it waa in full operation, Six hogsheads of mash were fownd on the premises, and one man, who was apparently running the mechine, was arreeted.

Most of the population are Germans, and the Germans, as is well known, area trogal peeple, and wnlike the py of other nationalities, being less prone to spend all they make and earo, are better prepared for such em emergency as the preseat. Their surplus earn. ings Rave been laid away in savings banks, and thus, while others are saved from suffering and starvation by charity, they keep the wolf of want securely from their doors until the eoming of better times.

On coming forward Mr. U'Ponnell received the grecting of the audience and said he loeked apen their welcome as an omen of good. He was instramenal ia 1966 in oy ‘e tue law and in 1867 helped to defeat its repeal. He had to acknowledge he was o member of the Legisla- ture, for which he onght perhaps to apologize. Ik wi eharged that the Legislature of 1867 was the most eorrupt and vena! that ever sat. It was said that there was $600,000 ready down for the repeal of the iaw. Well, spirits ia tue Metropolitan district amounted to $1,000,000, and certainly 1% may be supposed that if baif that sam could remit, that sam would be ready. He leoked upon the Jaw somewhat as a pareat looked upon his chiid, He was a radical on the subject ef the jaw.

Bet still there is danger in the attempt yet to be made The fenate we republican and the Honse democratic, and from the leaders of both parties, the makers of piat- forms, the intivential papers of the metropolis, all combine to endanger the the law. He was bimecif of party, and there were ‘eaders of Me =modification, because ince ‘thas among the German element injured the repup- lican party. He eontended that the law had not lost to the party one thousand German votes. On the contrary, be evu'd show that the law bas sirengthened the repub- heam party by two thousand votes, But this was not the ia ane Meee pe Sane Hed Bont b would pret nding on justice, ‘The voputican vote when Mr. ‘nan ‘was elected was 33,000 in the Metropolitan district.
