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, “Acting Commissioner.” Foreign Wewa.

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 George B Carse, who being duly sworn, says ing) connects itself closely with the origin of the contest now pending will justify a refer- 1 anticipation of the meeting of the first 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.

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! ..

' 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.

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: .

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.

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 Kews. ■ •F 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.
