INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS.

mittee of ways and means have ar
ranged to nave Gen. Uaum, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, ap
pear before them to-morrow (Thurs
day) at li m., to give Ills views on
the Internal Revenue laws and sug-
f est modifications. A Gill has already
Oen drafted under direction of the
committee, embodying many of the
recommendations of Commissioner
Raum, including the exemption from
duty of American alcohol used in the
manufacture of perfumery, and an en
actment authorizing the C. S. reve
nue olllcers to arrest Illicit distillers
caught in theaet wilhoutwarrant. The
bureau of internal revenue is In |xis-
session of a bulky mass of evidence
showing the paralysis of trade
produced by the present agita
tion for a change in the ex
isting rate id' taxation on whiskey
and tobacco, which is further evi
denced by the large falling off ill the
receipts from these sources for the
past two months, and it is understood
the Commissioner will urge decisive
action on tills matter one way or the
other, so as to put an end to the pre
vailing uncertainty. It is stated on
most excellent authority that the
Lorrillards of New York are selling
tobacco with the guarantee to their
customers that should the tobacco tax
be reduced and no rebate be allowed,
they will allow it to their customers
for stocks on hand. It is notorious
that the Lorrillards pay $3,000,000 on
tlieir operations annually hi this
great staple. It is also understood
that this great firm opposed a red no
tiou of the tax.

pression is that your people should

climate is a serious objection to re

such removals suiter greatly. It is
my opinion, ulso.tliut the evils which

I hope rapidly to diminish. My

St. Louis, January 16.—It will be
recollected that when Haines, Ste
phens and others were arrested at
Kansas City some three months ago
for stupendous swindling on Texas
lands, great anxiety was expressed to
learn the names of all engaged in tlie
fraud, and who issued the bogus
deeds. These names, or at least the
greater part of them, are now sup
plied by special agent P. Foster, of
the United Stutes postal service,
who arrested Haines and Ste
phens, und who lias ever since
been engaged in working up
tlie ease. Tlie publication of the
names wus delayed for tlie reason
that large quantities of land were sold
or transferred by members of the
O in most of tlie Western and
icrii States, and it is pretty
neurly certiiin tliut all the titles which
have "been executed for the past eight
or ten years from any of these parties

Intellectual Pirates.
The story that John Brougham,
and not Dion Boucicault, is the author
of that exquisite comedy, “London
Assurance,” lias been revived, and
it is told as follows liy an exchange:
“Wlicn Brougham wrote tlie play,
lie and Boucicault were playing
together as young men in the comp
any ofu London theatre. Broughum
wu’s modest and shy; Boucicault
adroit, hold and' ambitious.
Brougham, unable to secure the
manager’s attention to Ids manus
cript, persuaded Boucicault to present
it us liisown. It was accepted, put
upon the stage, and proved Immediate
ly successful. The audience called
lor the aiitlior, und Broughum, blush
ing and frightened, appeared at the
wing, only to find Ids more ready
rival already at the footlights bow
ing hiKUcknowlerigmcnts. Brougham
tells tills himself. It bears the Im
press of truth. Boucicault, u most
successful stugc-muiiagcr and artist in
stage effects, is the most audaci
ous literary pirate in existence. He
is living now In a room in New
York which cost $13,000 in its tits
tings, while Brougham's friends are
arranging a benefit to enable tlie
good old mun to die with com
posure.
This reminds the Atlanta Consitu-
tion of tbe fact that John E. Owens,
the well known comedian, appropriat
ed “The Live Indian,” written- by
the veteran editor of ilu* Suvannali
News, and made it tlie stepping-stone
of liis fiiiiiaiicial and profexxional
success. When this admirable farce
was Owens, only card, lie claimed tin
authorship by stating in his advertise
ments and programmes that it was
“translated from tlie original ('lioctaw
by.'John E. Owens.” To this day
lie has never given Colonel Thomp
son one dollar of the proceeds of Ids
brain work, and lias never acknowl
edged in any way Ills Indebtedness
to the editor of the News. Boucicault
mil Owens ought ty have tlieir
photograph talon together. They
make a truly intellectual puirof great

Muyor Col. E. C. Anderson, visited

Harris state*I (hut Col. Lite had been
sent with a flag of truce into tlie be
sieged city to demand the surrender of

ported to (icn. Scott that tlie Mexican
(icncral had refused to surrender, and
hud said that “if (ton. Scott could see
wliat bad been done by his shot and
shell he would weep tears of blood. 11
The old (ienend, standing perfectly
erect, in an austere mumier, replied:
“Col. Lee, it i* for him to weep tears
of blood, not l,us he had ample time
in which to remove his women and
children from the city and beyond
danger.”
Conm odore Harris, who was pres
