Interesting Regarding the Revenue Tax
Upon Whiskey.
Washington, November 14.—The following
is tlie reply to a question where parties have
more than five but under fifty gallons of whis
key: l ^.iClWSST
: ‘Office of Internal Eevenue,.
Washington, November 4, 1868.
“In answer, I will say that while the re
turn called for by section fifty-seven can
not be required from any person who had but
fifty gallons or less of distilled spirits in his
possession on the first instant, it is, neverthe
less, important to the interest of such persons
that their package of such spirits should be
marked, and otherwise, the spirits being with
out either the tax paid tatamp or ’’the stamp
for, the stock on hand will be in danger of
detention under section forty-one, and per-.
haps, of seizure and forfeiture, under the
provisions of section fifty-seven for the for
feiture of all distilled spirits found after thir
ty days in packages of more than five gallons,
vithont having thereon each mark and Btamp
required therefor by this act. Section thirty-
sis would in such cases thretw the burden of
proof on the claimants, and as probable cause
for the seizure could doubtless-in most cases
be shown to. baye existed, the expense and
trouble to which the . owner ofthe spirits
would be subjected'before he -could recover
his property would generally exceed its value.
It would be well to make this view of the
matter known to those in your district whoin
it may concern. Thomas Harlan,

November 15.—Gov.: Reed ini

Supreme Court for a written opinion on the
legality of impeachment, refers them to an
article of the Constitution providing for ex
traordinary sessions of the Legislature, by
which only such business cau be transacted
as is mentioned in the call, or brought before
them .while in .session by the Governor, ex
cept by unanimous consent of both Houses.
He also stated that four persons who voted as
Senators' were not entitled to seats by reason
of his proclamation declaring them vacant,
they having occupied other offices since the
last Legislature, one the office of Secretary
of State, one the office of Circuit Judge, one
the office-of Clerk of the Court, and one the
office of Solicitor.
The Senate is composed of twenty-four
members. Governor Reed claims that only
eight were present, and that, consequently
no extraordinary session was convened, and
theirtacta are of ho force. He says the offi

. The cases were these : and first wai that o:
a maridamits against the Clerk of Leon Circuit
.Court, one LeRoyD. BaU, (c. b.) originating
in this wise : Under the model carpet-bag
and scalawag constitution of Florida, among
the other innumerable big and little things at
the disposal of the Executive, for the reward
of the faithful, are the offices of County
Commissioner for the different counties—
charged with the goneral administration of
county affairs, and especially with the ap-
pointment- of inspectors of election and the
designation^of eouAlg^ptwiniis. Reed, before
going North last summer, (a visit from'which
it was pretty well understood he was not exi
pected to return had not the faU elections re
sulted in favor of Radicalism,) appointed the
Board for this, the most populous county of
the State. During his absence, Gleason,
acting, as is alleged, without legal' authority,
removed Reed’s Board and appointed a new
one in his own'interest The -Clerk of the
Circuit and Cojmty Court is also made the
Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners,
and there is now: the same contest as to whom
belongs the rightful tenure^of-office between,
the two Boards and between the two Gover
nors. Ball recognized Gleason’s appointees,
and is acting as their Clerk, refusing to at
tend any sittings of the otoer Board, who, I
believe, are for the present attempting to ex
ercise no functions. They, however, will as
sert their rights, and have resorted to a writ
of mandamus to compel the Clerk to recognize
them and keep their recordsi. In answer! to
the writ he replied, ill; effect, that they were
Wo longer Connty Commissioners, haying
been displaced by Gleason, and others ap-
pointed in their stead. _ The attorney for the
old Board (Mr. A. J. Peeler)) demurred to
this return as hot’ sufficient, and argued the
question; no counsel appearing for Ball.
The Judge, in a written opmkm^ionounced
yesterday morning, overruled the demurrer.
Though this decision:did hot iend-.-thej case,'
11 not Involving, its 'mISs, onryii
technicality of law, yet I hear the opinion
expressed by lawyers that the final decision
must be the same way; that in fact it.was not
a case for a mandamus against the -Clerk, but
that the real proceedings should have been
between the two Boards themselves.
The other trial was much more important.
Gleason and his Secretary of State, Alden,
arrested on Saturday last, (under prosecu
tion commenced by Reed; .though.it appears
in the name of the State,) came before the
same Judge for examination. Tour readers,
however, must not suppose that these great
functionaries, albeit arrested for a crime, the.
penalty of which may be ten years imprison
ment in the penitentiary, were like common
mortals when charged with even the slightest
misdemeanor, in the actual custody of any
body,.from last Saturday np to yesterday;-
Their confinement was, merely a fiction of
law. They were not under bonds; they were
in no jail; they were in nobody’s keeping.
Friday night last the Governor (Reed I
mean) and his legal advisers had dispatched
a special railroad train to Monticello, twenty
odd miles from here, for Judge Cocke. The
judge came, duly; and then came before him
Reed’s Adjutant General, (Carse) with the
following affidavit all ent and dried:
State of Florida, Leon County.— Before the
subscriber, Judge of the Second Judicial Cir
cuit of the State of Florida, personally came

session of the Legislators ^imRer t^&presenli
'Constitution, a ■“ ring” .Was,formed,
office, is a'sadly impennrious being. So, on
the eve of the meeting' of the Legislature, the
scheme seemed to have fallen through for
lack of the paltry stun of a few thousand dol
lars.. Thereupon Reed determined, as he was
to profit nothing by the plunder of the trea
sury as one-of-the “ring” of printers; he
wonld make a little political capital by pro
fessions of economy, and' by railing at the
printing expenditure made during the admin
istration of his. predecessor.
Consequently, his message as written, after
mentioning that the State, the previous year,
1 had paid for “ printing and publishing, $17,-
204 49,” contained.the following sentence :
(he is, speaking of the reduction which shonld
be made in the future 'expenditure as com
pared with the past) The item of West
Floridt? Seminary, $7,581, wifi' hot more ;
than onedialf'of this amount, and ice certainly
do not suppose that the enormous sum of S17)-
204 49 will be paid for printing and publishing.
Are the people _aware of the fact that overone-
twetfth of the money they paid into the Treasury,
in the year1866,•’went to pay for^printmg and
.publishing? Jf theyart not, let them examine the
reporCs;,of .Vie Treasury Department. This'
amoiait is about twice the value of the printing
establishment!« UH»f a --..; .-.;c 1
‘ Birt mark-! ‘ : • : ■ - ■—
After the message was written; the then
proprietor of the Tallahassee Sentinel, finding
the parties unable to pay cash, concluded to
let, ; them .have the establishment pn credit.
The paper and- printing office consequently
went into the hands of the “ ring,” between
the'time of the writing and the delivery and print
ing ot the messege.. The result was, (mark
again !) that the portion ofthe written message,
printed above in Halics, had to be, and aahujUy
was stricken out of the document before it was
published. ’ It would not, of course, do for the
“ring” to'commence'the work of plunder
ing as printers, at the tune of fifty to one
hundred thousand' dollars .per annum, by
talking about-an annual expenditure, under
the old' g6vemment; 6f Tess ‘ thaif eighteen
thousand! ..
How was the jnine worked ? t ,
. In this wise; tsaaartwjw fiaA aaAttoqaua ueito
The " ring” had its members in each house
of ffie Legislatorei~ Jujlge Knight, himself was
in the Senate. Hembers and Clerks were set to
work copying from all sorts of Statute books
all sorts of laws. These were duly introduc
ed into the houses, and ordered to be printed.
And Senators and Representatives were Been
coming out of their respective bodies at the
ending' of a day’s work, meeting with outside
members of the “ring,”, chuckling over the
number of bills ordered to be printed, and
estimating the costs, for example :
“Nineteen bills to-day! ' Let’s see—what
will it come to?”
“Fifteen hundred dollars at.least.”
And so the thing went on throughout the
session. Not only the printing of all sorts of
bills; there were printed and placed on mein-
bers’ desks, each morning, slips containing
the previous day’s proceedings. In other
years the number of these printed and charged
for exceeded very little, if. any, the number
of members. Not so under Reconstruction.
Four or five hundred; each one to be paid for;

Sworn to and subscribed before me tho 7th
day of November, 1868. W. A. Cogke.
Judge of'the Second Judicial Circuit of
JloridaT ■: --m «
I The Judge issued his warrant for the arrest
ofthe parties, who being brought before him,
the examination was postponed, they asking
time to procure counsel. The case being
called yesterday, the lawyers for Gleason and
Alden made a motion to dismiss on the ground
that the affidavit was defective. • Argument'
was heard on both sides, which being finished,
the Judge, without a moment’s hesitation,
granted the motion.. Gleason’s lawyers were
E -Governor Walker, of this place, and a Mr.
ibee, of Jacksonville; Reed’s, Messrs. Pee
ler, pf Tallahassee, and Sanderson, of Jack
sonville. The Judge, ordered the Sheriff to
discharge the prisoners, stating -that if any
other prosecution against them was cohtem~
plated, it must be upon a better affidavit, and
must, moreover, bo instituted before a Jus-;
tice of the Peace, as he wbuld'nofc again allow
himself to be placed in-a-position where the
would have to sit in judgment upon .his own
proceedings. Whether there will be another
affidavit and another arrest, are matters upon
which it may be supposed Reed and his legal
advisers spent a part, at least, of last nightjj
“deeply pondering. ” It is reported that after
becoming advised of the faux pas in the cases
of tlie mandamus against Ball, and the affida
vit against Gleason and Alden, Reed under
took to strengthen himself by employing an
other lawyer in addition to those already
mentioned,..viz: . M. D- Papy, Rsqf; of this
place. _ _ _-y~
Do your readers'need to’b'e told the origin
of this squabble, iodisgtacefaltoThe parties,
if anything could be a disgrace to carpet--
baggers—and so equally disgraceful to the
State of Florida/if its real people, its virtue,
worth, intelligence and patriotism had any
'thing to do with it? Hardly. No one will
doqbt but that it comes of the unnatural arid
consummate rascality and ' J
from the adjournment of the first) of not less
than $32,000.^
And now the tax collector is' abroad assess
ing and collecting from a desperately impov
erished people the money to pay for this Vil
lainy, and of course “the Brittons groan.”
But somehow or other—doubtless as to the
distribution of plunder—there was a split in
the “ring," even before the adjournment of
the Legislature, and that split as it was the
beginning of- the tronble in the camp of
carpet-baggers,, so has it culminated in Read’s
impeachment. ,. '
In conclusion of this letter, already too
long, should it be necessary in the impeach
ment to prove any of the facts above set
forth, should the change in the Governor’s
message herein charged be questioned by
him, the name of your correspondent is at
th& service alike of his Excellency and of the
Impeaching Committee. * **s
Another word: Though the distribution of
the printing plunder was the beginning of
the strife, I have not charged Gleason with
being a member of 'that “ring.” In my
opinion, he was not, at least at - its organiza
tion. He doubtless had his schemes of plun
der, and is presumably quite the rascal that
Reed charges him with being; and are they
all—everything that they are represented to
be by one another. ^
.-.Honorable- no More.—Mr. Seward has;
issued an order that in all communications
hereafter issued from the State Department
the title Of “Hon.” shall be ignored. The
term, has grown into such disrepute by indis
criminate use as to have ensured its bestowal
on negro officials—the crowning act to stamp
it as an unmitigated nuisance. -

Christian doctrine that every man is every

and equal father of them all—will not only

The N&vriRegime and How It Affects the
t . Colarrd People.
; The election of KQsbttry seems-to Rave'
turned the heads of the colored'people, and
they imagine that, with their idol on the
throne, their -wildest dreams will be realized.' •
A number of -coloredwomen, evidently from
the country, were seen yesterday, while pass
ing through‘the back stre ets,, to'stop arid view
the Houses, arid select some for their future :
residences. ~A lady;was rudely, pushed white
endeavoring to pass between two negto girls,
who took np the whole sidewalk, and, on
remonstrating with them'politely, was abnsed
and told to take the ontside, as that was her
place now that the election was over. In no
city ofthe South have the colored people
been more kindly treated, or. had greater
liberty of speech and action accorded them
than in Charleston. This has been returned
with contempt, and they have recently not
hesitated to show the “white trash" how
they Were esteemed. There is an old adage
that “whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad,” and the colored people
shonld pause and reflect on the.consequences
of any antagonism between the races. The
whites have been patient and forbearing, but
they will not be trampled upon.—Charleston

A Physician .Murdered by a Patient fob
Alleged Malpractice.—The' Grand Rapids
(Mich,):-Qfflipcr<ri gives the: following account
of a murder recently committed at Saranac,
in that State: .
The, difficulty at a Republican meeting in
Saranac, ori the 28th of October, which re
sulted in the death of Dr. Perry, of Lowell,'
was the consequence of hatred, of the doctor,
engendered during the war, and not the re
sult of a political-quarrel. All , parties con
nected with the sad affair are Republicans,
and.Taylor, who is Deputy Sheriff pf. Iona
county, had on that occasion, it is said', been'
drinking quite freely, arid was more or less
under the influence of spirituous liquor.
It apprers. that Dr. Perry and,TMj^r,were
together in the army during the late war, the
former in the capacity of surgeon ; and_Tay-
lor, after being once cured by the surgeon,
again became sick. The surgeoil refused to
attend him, and Taylor was compelled to
have other medical help. ' ~
The disease settled in one of his limbs and
made him a cripple for life, and this-trouble
was charged by Taylor upon the doctor. This
state of the cose was substantially proved
before the conrt of inquest held at Saranac,
and it was also proved that he (Taylor) had
repeatedly been heard on different occasions
toruse. threatening'language towa-d the doc
tor. Soon. after he offered a boy twenty cents.
r, and the boy
then fired at Dr.
twenty fret from
him,'the ball entering the doctor’s head just
above one of his eyes, passed through it, and
he fell and died without a struggle. Not sat
isfied, seemingly, with what he bad accom
plished, Taylor kept on firing until every load
in his revolver was discharged. *
Taylor was taken to Iona and lodged in
jail; where he probably will remain until he
answers before a court of justice to the charge
of wilful murder^^A h, TTlf lift
