They have agreed to redress all wrongs ang 4 te reject change fer the simple gake of change.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 1868, Amothee Evidence of Complicity with the Whiskey Bing. ‘The following facts have been reported to the Solicitor of the internal revenue as an additional case for the budget of evidence collected against certain officers of the Internal Reveaue Bureau. 4 gentleman residing in a certain town in Pennsylvania, who has always borne the reputation of an honorable and upright citizen, held the office of assessor of internal revenue. It is claimed that the oMicial records of the department will show that he was a faithful and vigilant oMcer and zealous in the discharge of his duties. He notified his su- perior officers of the most flagrant violations of the Revenue laws in his district and insisted on the strict enforcement of the penalties. It is asserted that his superiors, instead of aiding him, resorted to every species of delay and used their best efforts to thwart him and to defeat the ends of justice, while): at the same time, they did not call in question the correctness of his reports; that the conduct of his superiors tended directly to protect the guilty par- ties, thereby defrauding the Treasury out of a very large sum of money. ‘These facts, it is alleged, do not depend merely on ex parte aMdavits, but are fully corroborated by oMicial correspondence. The result of this assessor's perlinacity in iuststing that the frauds reported by him should be promptly punished, was his removal from office, and the difficulty between the United States and the revenue swindlers was compromised by the revenue authorities for the sum of $1,500, when the property seized was estimated at abont $7,000, The assessor had insisted that the store and rectifying establishment where the frauds were com- Mitted should be seized, which were worth at least $100,000, but the revenue authorities peremptorily forbade the seizure on the grounds that the barrels of whfskey reported by the assessor were afterwards reported to be barrels of water, nothwithstanding which, the three barrela of water were considered suflicient grounds for seizing the distillery. It is claimed that the owners of the distillery, not satis- fied with having procured the dismissal of the assess- or, made up acase against him to prosecute him for felony. He was arrested and his case was heard beforé a United States Commissioner, who released him on bail. He was then rearrested by a United States Marshal, was taken before a judge on a writ of habeas corpus and was released. While on his way home he was again arrested by a Deputy United States Magshal and taken to Philade!phia, against the earnest protest of the Commissioner who bailed bim, the Deputy Marshal asserting that he had been especially ordered to en- force his capture and take his body to Phild- delphia, When brought to that city he was even denied time to secure counsel, but was held to bail in a much larger sum than before. The details of this case, and all the oMcial documents in sup- port of them, will be laid before the President ina a day or two, as another link in the chain of evi- dence adduced to prove the complicity of accused Officials in the revenue frauds. Projected Reforms in the Patent Ofice. It is understood that numerous changes will be made in the Patent OMice in the course of a week or 30, A committee, it will be remembered, was ap- pointed by Commissioner Foote some time ago to examine the fitness of all candidates for positions, and also to examine the qualifications of all the officials employed in the Patent Bureau. This com- mitiee, composed of men of large experience, have completed their investigations and are now pre- paring a report for presentation to Judge Foote, This report, 1,am imformed, will show that'a deplo- rable amount of inefiiciency exists in the Patent Once, particularly among assistant examiners, who are described as in many cases being-men of no fit- ness for their positions—men without experience and destitute of any clement of kuow!edge essential to their business, They are employed to search the records, &c., and in all cases of applications for patents to avoid infringments on earlier patentees, and thus, of course, ought to be men of considerable general information and clear judgment. But the contrary is said to be the fact, They either make hasty caaminations or blunder through long and unsktiful searches, aud as a consequence there are innumerable utterly valueless patents issued to anpli- canta, valueless because earlier applicants have obtained patents for precisely the same kind and species of inventions. The committee, therefore, in- tend to recommend tie discharge of all these tnef- ficients and the retention or appointment of none but those who are thoroughly fitted for such respon- sible duties, The report will doubtless cause quite a shaking amoug the shaky members of the pateat concern. The Washbuarne-Sopez Difticulty. The State Department has received oniy partial oficial information on the subject of the trouble be- tween Minister Washburne and the Paraguayan go ernment previons to his departure from that coun- try, No intelligence has come to hand which would subject him to censure, On the conirary, the Stand- ard, the leading English paper of Buenos Ayres, warmly defends his conduct, as governed by the highest considerations of courage and humanity. The Target Firing at lortress Mouroe. Brevet Major General A. A, Humphreys, Chicf of Engineers, and M. C. Meigs, Quartermaster General, accompanied by other officers of the army sta- tioned here, left this evening for Fortres Monroe to witness the experimental firings aboup to take place at that place, The Revenue Investigation. Judge Fullerton with his new batch of charges has not yet turned up. He is expected here Friday or Saturday for certain, and his friends say he will make a stir among very high officials, This has been promised so often that it ceases to have the air of novelty or probability. Charges Against the Commissioner of Agrie cultare. A lady here is after the Commissioner of the Agri- cultural Department with a sharp stick. She basa lot of charges prepared and intends to fling them at Capron the first good opportunity that offers, Survey of the Quapaw Reservation. The section of the Quapaw Indian reservation in the State of Kansas, about twenty-four miles in length and haif a mile in width, situated on the northern line of the reservation, having been ceded to the United States by a récent treaty with those Indians, the Commissioner of the General Land Office has instructed the Surveyor Generalof Kansas to survey the same as public land, closing the lines of public surveys upon the State boundary on the south and east. Chief of the Printing Bureau, George B. McCartee, who has been acting as chief of the printing division of the Treasury Department during Mr, Clark’s leave of absence, will probably be permanently appointed to that position now that Mr. Clark's resignation has been accepted, and the latter is therefore uo longer connected with that Office. bk Navy Orders. Preparatory orders have been issued by the Secre- tary of the Navy to Rear Admiral William Radford, now In command of the Washington Navy Yard, to command the European squadron. The FP will retarn to the squadron with Rear Admi: ford and be the Nagship. Supervisor Appointed for tndinoa, Goorge B. Williams has been appotnted supervisor for lndiaua. Supervisor for Louisiana.

BOOK NOTICE. Tae Poetical Weirinas or Frrz-Cavene HALLEOR, with EX?RACTS PROM Tuose oF JosnIn RODMAN Drakg. Edited by Jamey Grant Wilson, D, Appleton & Uo., New York, # The want of & complete edition of the poetical works of the late Fitz-Greene Halleck has loug been felt, both in this country and in Europe, and this want, we are delighted to say, has at length been supplied ina manner which must prove acceptabie tothe entire literary world. Embalmed ina beau- tiful duodecimo volume of 389 pages, bound in green and gold, and printed upon heavy tinted paper— creditable alike to the poet, the editor and the pub- lisher—the poetical writangs of Mr. Halleck are for the first time given entire to the world of letters, Mr, James Grant Wilson has been at considerable pains in Presenting the writings of Fitz-Greene Halleck—one of the most talented and sweetest of American poets— to the public in @ style consonant with the poet's worth, but modestly disclaims in his preface to the book in question all honor or credit pertaining thereto. The arrangement of the various poems a8 made by the poet himself in the edition of his works Published in 1858 has been closely followed by Mr. Wilson in this volume, without reference to their chronological order, and in other particulars the resent volume has been made to conform to Mr. ‘alieck’s wishes, as expressed to Mr. Wilson at their last interview but a few weeks previous to his death. The notes, too, which cover several closely printed Pp were many of them prepared by Mr, Halleck, and throughout the whole book the greatest care is discernible. The book opens with the world-renowned poem of ‘Marco Bozzaris,”” and closes with the parody on “Governor Clinton’® Speech.” In the present volume we have a score of . Halleck’s poems never before published; also several translations from the French, German and Italian that now appear in print for the first time, Among the pieces never before published are a num- ber of juvenile productions and “The Croakers,” the latter being the joint production of the attached friends, Fitz-Greene Halleck and Joseph Rodman Drake, These were originally published in the Post in 1819, and created quite a stir in our little city of that day, and had hundreds of poor imitations. § long as the Bogie language occupies @ place in the literature of the world so long will the sweet and pleasant poems of Fitz-Greene Halleck be read and so long will his fame as a poet endure. No library, and, in fact, no family—that is, no American family—should be without a copy of the present neat and convenient ediion of the Works of America’s favorite poet. — BROOKLYN INTELLIGENCE.

Her play is melodious, her touch tender and sweet, her ensemble correct, even admirable, while the force she occasionally develops is truly wonderful in one 80 young in years. Not to go too much into details, it 18 but just to mention the “Hungarian hee No. 1,” by Liszt, which is one of the inmost dificult and intricate compositions of that rhapsodicak composer, and which many a planist of long years of experience and mich greater pretensions Would fail to render better than she did, i he could do it as well. Being rapturousiy called out again the littie pianist gave Miles’ “Recollections of Home with a sweetness of melody and delicacy of rhyth which was perfectly charming. Miss Henrietta wi assisted by Mine.

The house was filled’ better than usual at the first HL earance Of an un- known artist. It1s to be hoped that Miss Henrietts, may soon favor the public with a second ¢: iuom of her skill, so extraordinary and avyonderful la g girl of her age. Masical and Theatrical Notes.

Tae NortH CaRouina Peanut Cror.—While it is too earty in the season to form a probable estimate of the peanut crop of this gection, we have en- deavored to ascertain some particu!ars regarding its extent and value. We find that generally there hase been more land planted this year than last, But we also find that the yield to the acre will not be near so good ‘this year a8 it was last. There will be u large crop made, however—evem larger than that of last year, because of the quantity of land planted—but nothing like so |: ayield aw was anticipated. The crop ia gene “gorry,’? having never recovered from the great drought of the early summer. These peas are destined to be a very great source of profit to this section. Wuminge ton (N. C.)
