THE HISTORY OF THK SUGAR CASES. In July last parties residing in Philadelphia and some In Baltimoce complained to the Treasury Department at Washingion that there was some irregularity in the New York Castom House tn respect to the importation of sugars. The wregu- larity complained of consisted iu utdervaluation, and a consequegt lower rate ol duly, thus eva any the New Yor! ppc tae to underseli their compe- titors in othee cilia. Of these complathis Collector Grinnell an Coionel Frank Bh. Mowe, special agent «In the ‘Treasury’ Depart- : ae oH nt, werg fi jee —notified.

When Colonel Howe received this information from the Treasury Department he made careval 1- quiry as to the manner of pry wa arene 0 “0 wuseum nonse, and No found That the “saupiiug? Of stigars was (lone by parties not subject to nis control; thac the appraisers generally relied oa the J i standard for their guidence, and that Mieve Was no present reason to question then itegrity, Of this State of affairs ho apprised the department in July Buggested LO Secretary Boutweh to ¢ taneous ‘sampilog” of all the sugars in bond by other oMcers, and also Ly oxpert. ‘This sugges- tion Was adop:ed, and the Secretary ordered a * re- sampling” Ot all the sugars 1a bond, and aiso, where it was deomed advisable from suspictous clvcum- ances, to have the hogsheads or cases rewelgied. hg, stg order came at the same time to Collector rin | nell and to Colonel Frank £.

Over — 100 ditecent “lots” have been examined and great discrepancies were dis- covered between the firat appratxement and the | second by Colonel Howe's oiicers. For instance, in one case sugar rated at number twelve was found, by comparison with the legal standard, to be above filteen. and thus subject to two cent per pound more duty. In scarcely any one case has the Urst sampling corresponded with the resuit of the second examination. WHAT THRY DID. But it was not thought advisable to iD trade | atrogetner.
