Joseph's Industrial School in Eighty-first street, between Madison and Fourth avenues; the hall, in one end of which was ingeniously erected a handsome stage, was tastefaliy decorated; but it Was rather too small to conveniently accommodate the large number of the friends of the young lady pupils who were present. The programme was quite an extensive one, but the exercises being varied and very successfully carried out, the audience was, on the who.e, very much pleased and entertained.

Important Decisions by the Secretary of the Treasury. ; A Gang of Dangerous Counterfeit- ers in Florida Broken Up. Exchange of Courtesies Between the English and American Freemasons, WasnincTon, June 23, 1871. Important Decision by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Collector of the port of New Orleans recently Jevied upon the steamer St, Louis, plying between that city and New York and touching at Havana, tonnage dues as upon a foreign going vessel. This has been the custom since the passage of the act of Jaly 14, 1870, but the owners of this steamer pro- test that the law is misconstrued and that American vessels engaged in the coastwise trade and touching at intermediate torcign ports are exempt from the payment of the tonnage tax. The question has been under con- sideration at the Treasury Department, and the Collector sustained by the Department in levying the toanage tax upon this class of vessels, The Secretary of the Treasury decided upon the question of refunding the difference between payment in gold coin and the United States cur- Tency of (he three monlhs’ wages allowed by act of Congress to seamen discharged in a foreign port, that such payments could only properly be made in gold, notwithstanding that the crew signed ar- ticles to receive payment in currency. In reply to the inquiry whether the tonnage tax is legally collected on canal boats trading with Canada by inland routes, in case the boats are unprovided ‘with satis or with steam power, the Secretary of the ‘Treasury decides that such boats are subject to the same regulations in regard to the payment of ton- nage tax as other vessels of the United States, The treasury Department to-day decided tnat ves- sels irom St. Croix river not required under the laws governing the coasting trade on the seaboard to be provided with certified manifests are not subject to the payment of fees to coliectors of customs for re- ceiving manifests. A Dangerous Gang of Counterfeitsrs Broken Up—A Georgia Legislator Ihnplicated—Ate tempt to Rescuc Frustrated. The oficers of the secret service division of the Treasury Department who went South about a month since on important business, returned here to-day, having accomplished the object of the expe- dition, They arrested Romulus Noble and Elias Sweat, at Fernandina, Fla, and 0, M. Sexton, an engraver, at St. Mary, Ga,, charged with manufac- turing and dealing in counterfeit five doliar gold and twenty-five cent and fifty cent silver coin of the United States. A few days subsequent Thomas Sweat, a brother of Elias Sweat, was also arrested at Tebeauville, charged with the same offence. The prisoners had perfected most extensive arrange- ments for the manufacture of the bogus stuff, which they intended for circulation in Cuba and the West India Islands, and were the principals of an organized ring which flourished in the vicinity of Fernandina by frequent and wanton violations of the law. A quantity of counterfeit five doilar gold coin, admirably execu- ted, was found on their persons when arrested, and there were secured, at the same time, ready for shipment per steamer to Black Point, Ga., thirteen large cases, containing heavy machinery, German silver, lingets of composition metal, English alloy copper, used principally in the manufacture of tne five dollar cola; gold and gold dust, a galvanic bat- tery complete, seventy-five crucibles, first class en- graving tools and other articles—all in the very best condition, The first three named prisoners were taken before the United States Commissioners, wnere they were committed to jail, Noble in default of $20,000, aud the others $15,000 bail each. Shortly after, in the evening, @ mob of men, about twenty-five in namber, masked and otherwise disguised, assem- bled for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners. Their attention was turned trom the jail, however, by news that the secret service men, who had arrested Noble and his companions, would arrive by a train just then due, The mob proceeded to the depot, boarded the train, passing through each car and scrutinizing every face, using dark lanterns, and, when necessary, awaking those who were asicep. In the meantime government officers, who had entered the town py another conveyance, took the prisoners from the jall and safely embarked | with them on board the United States revenue cutter, the commander of which, in compliance with a special telegram, conveyea the prisoners to Port Jeiferson, Dry Tortugas. Thomas Sweat was taken vo Savannah and appeared before the United States Commissioner, who committed him to jail in deiauls of $5,000 bail, The following day, however, a lead- ing merchant of that city came forward and fur- nished the requisite bail, and a large sum was also advanced by his friends to be used in securing the best legal talent as counsel. On last Saturday @ secret service detective, im the course of his perambulations, arrested, in Block- shear, Ga, Captain Daniel E. Knowles, a representative of the Legislature from Pierce county, and rearrested Thomas Sweat, taking them to Sa- vannah, Knowles 1s charged with complicity in the gold coin counterfeiting operations of the Noble, Sweatand Sexton gang. Sweat is charged with conduct regarded as @ forfeiture of the bond, or such a violation of jaw as to render himself again liable, he having taken to his old ways, little sus- pecting the harm which would accrue therefrom. It appears that he bought a stock of catile from an elderly gentleman, named Johns, in Blocksnear, for which he paid him $500, in what was represented as gold, being in reality the counterfeit five dollar gold coin alluded to, The bogus gold was brought back to Sweat, who redeemed it and took the same back to anothet party of Lake City, Florida, from whom he had originally bought it. ‘the New York Ceatral Tax Case—Col Thomson Vindicated. On the 22d inst. Colonel Clifford Thomson, inte chief of supervisors and detectives, wrote to Horace F, Clarke, @ director of the New York Central Rau- road Company, a letter with reference to the exten- sively pubitshed statement that for a consideration he sold to the officers of the New York Central Ratl- road Company information of the decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue with reference to what has been called a serip dividend tax of 1868 in advance of its publication by the press. Having resigned his position in the Internal Revenue service in consequence of these statements, he asked Mr, Clarke to inform the Commissioner whether or not there is any truth in {hese reporta, Mr. Clarke, in @ letter to Commissioner Pleasonton, says the statement that Oolonel Thom- son, or any person connected with the Internal Revenue Bureau, gave information of the decision in advance of 1\s promulgation through the press, 1s entirely without foundation. In fact, the first knowledge or intimation of the decision was re- ceived through the daily journals, ‘he charge against Colonel Thomson 1s known by the directors and officers of the New York Central Ratiroad Com. pany to be untrue, English Masons to the Cra‘t In America.
