Smashing the Whisky Ring.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.]
The first information that the secret
service agents obtained, related to St.
Louis whisky frauds. On the 20th of
April last the Treasury Department re
ceived a telegram to the effect that sus
picious shipments had been made by
Bevis & Fraser from St. Louis to Savan
nah, Charleston and Wilmington. The
chief clerk of the Solicitor’s office was
immediately sent to those cities, with let
ters accrediting him to the internal reve
nue officers there, and was directed to
make a careful examination of the ship
ments in question, and, particularly, to
take a transcript of all serial numbers of
tho warehouses and tax-paid stamps.
This examination resulted in the dis
covery in Charleston and Savannah of
packages bearing the same numbers, and
conclusively showed that Bevis & Fraser
were duplicating goods. In the present
system of collecting internal revenue by
stamps, it is impossible that two packages
of liquor upon which the tax has been
honestly paid should hear the same
number. The duplication of the num
bers was, therefore, conclusive evi
dence of fraud. The information gained
at tho cities named was made service
able in investigations conducted in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston. From
these latter investigations further dis
coveries resulted, which magnified the
fraudulent transactions previously dis
covered.
ON THE TBAIL.
As soon as the frauds respecting the
duplication of numbers wero discovered,
the most trusted men in the service were
sent to St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee.
In these places every suspected distillery
and rectifying establishment was placed
under the strictest surveillance. James
T. Brooks, assistant chief of the Secret
Service, formerly well-known in the pro
ceedings in Philadelphia against the ring
there, was sent to St. Louis. Herr, of
Philadelphia, was dispatched to Chicago.
The revenue laws indicate how many
packages ought to leave every warehouse
on any particular day. If more barrels
were removed on any given day than the
accounts show to have been stamped, tho
delivery of fraudulent spirits i3 conclu
sively proved.
The method of operations with the
special agents was this: They secured
rooms which could command a view of
tho warehouse operations, and carefully
counted all tho packages delivered. Tho
accounts, upon being compared with tho
records, further established the existence
of fraudulent delivery of spirite. In fact,
tho reports of tho special agents show
that tho dealers who have been implica
ted have paid tax upon only one-half of
their production, and that tho govern*
ment has received tax upon only one bar
rel in every two produced. The accounts
of the wholesale dealers furnished addi
tional means by which tho detection of
frauds was possible. Theso accounts are
open to the inspection of government of
ficers. They furnish the means for tracing
the history of every package of liquor by
the stamps and serial numbers. Trans
cripts of all the wholesale dealers’ books
in New York, Boston and Philadelphia
were made, by comparison with the offi
cial accounts, afforded the cluo which en
abled the officers to trace tho means by
which untaxed packages reached the mar
ket through regular ti-ado channels. The
work of comparison of these books with
tho official records is now in progress, and
will be continued until every package has
been traced. There were several methods
discovered by which tho frauds were per
petrated.
COLLUSION.
One of tho favorite modes was this. It
involved collusion between the distiller,
rectifier, gauger, and possibly tho store
keeper. Each distiller has a favorite
rectifier. The following was the method
of some of the St. Louts firms: Bevi3 &
Fraser sent goods to Bevis, Frasera d:
Co. Ulrici, distiller, and Tuescher, dis
tiller, sent their products to Bousbourg;
Bingham Bros., who havo a branch house
at Evansville and New Orleans, sent
their goods to Foederer to be rectified,
The forms which it is necessary to com
ply with upon sending goods to a rectify
ing establishment, further enabled the
detectives to trace the wild liquor. Tho
special notices certified to by tho ganger
from the rectifying house, which are re
turned to the office of the collector, aro
forwarded at the end of each month to
tho Commissioner of Internal Eevcnue at
"Washington. Tho implicated distillers
and officers, instead of complying with
these regulations properly, have emptied
tho barrels without destroying the
stamps, and have sent them back to the
distillers to be refilled, and have put
tbeir contents again upon tho market.
In some cases erasures of numbers and
marks upon empty barrels havo been ap
parently complete, but tho stamps have
been carefully and ingeniously lifted and
returned to tbe distiller to bo used.
Another method of defrauding the rev
enue was to take out twico as many bar
rels as had paid tax, and to introduce un
paid packages into the trade in a manner
which would escape the suspicion of local
officers in tho cities whero tho good3 were
shipped. Tho shipments .to Charleston
and Savannah illustrate this method.
Tho evidence shows that tho sale3 of
untaxed whisky have been chiefly made
to dealers in New York. To some of
them the fraudulent'character of tho
transactions was doubtless known, while
there is no doubt that many dealers ob
tained their goods in the regular manner,
without suspicion of wrong.

Ever sinco tho Democrats swept the

from tho bogus Democracy of the oyster-

plucking tho “flower safety” out of tho
“nettle danger” is flat prose in compari

William S. Calhoun, convicted of
forgery on evidence of his quadroon mis
tress, Olivia Williams 1”
This announcement in the Sunday pa
pers supplies the text for a long and in
structive moral disoourse, and a very in
teresting chapter of domestic history.
The Calhoun referred to above is tbe
only son of the late Meredith P. Cal
houn, for many years before the war the
largest and most lordly planter in the
South. The wife of Mr. Calhoun was
the daughter of Judge Smith, formerly
of South Carolina, where he played a
prominent part in the politics and soci
ety of that State. Judge Smith was one
of the most ancient and respected fami
lies in South Carolina, and inherited
large estates, which he augmented in
value by his judgment and enterprise.
In the political arena he was regarded as
the only formidable rival of the great
John C. Calhoun. Judge Smith was the
acknowledged leader of the Union party
in the great secession fight of 1835.
Shortly after this he removed to Hunts
ville, Alabama, where he bought very
largo estates and established him
self in an elegant residence, which
was the home of a large and generous
hospitality. The eldest daughter of
Judge Smith married Meredith Calhoun,
a young adventurer of the North, of pol
ished manners and good address. Mrs.
Calhoun received as her dowry a large
sum, which was invested in an immense
tract of the rich land on Bed river, then
bold in great demand as the most valua
ble and productive in the State. This is
the land which embraces the greater por
tion of what is now known as Grant par
ish. It extends ten miles on the river
and has been leveed at vast expense, and
possesses unlimited resources for the pro
duction of cotton and sugar. Upon this
estate Mr. Calhoun expended a very great
sum, stocking it with eleven hundred
slaves, and aU the expensive structures
and machinery required to produce cot
ton and sugar. In the palmy days of
this culture the yield of this large invest
ment waa highly remunerative. For sev
eral years before tbe war the regular in
come was between *250,000 and *300,000.
Having made several visite to France
with his family, Mr. Calhoun acquired a
taste for French society and habits, and
during tho latter period of his life
resided in Paris. Here he expended
his large income in affording his
wife and daughter every opportunity
of participating in the mo3t elegant
and fashionable enjoyments of that gay
and luxurious capital. Besides his
daughter, an accomplished and elegant
young lady, who was born and educated
in France, so that she speaks the French
language with more facility than her
mother tongue, Mr. Calhoun had a son
who came into this world partially de
formed, but not on that account was re
corded with loss affection and tenderness
by his parents. No cnild was ever more
carefully and tenderly watched and cared
for the poor little hunchback, "Willie
Calhoun. Preferring to live on tbo plan
tation rather than expose himself in the
brilliant society of Paris, "Willie did not
accompany his parents abroad. Devot
ing himself to agricultural life, he finally
become a sort of head manager or agent
for his father. This was the condition
of the family when the war broke out.
Mr. Calhoun was residing with his wife
and daughter in France, and Willie had
charge of the plantation. Of course the
war produced most disastrous effects on
the’Calhounestate. Thedestructionof tho
slavoproperty alone was enough toswamp
the whole estate. Mr. Calhoun died about
the close of the war, and the widow had
givenher powerof attorney to Willie. In’63
she returned with her daughter to Louisi
ana, and proceeded to the landing now
known as Colfax, with a view of seeing her
sonand investigating the condition of her
affairs. Her mind had been greatly dis
turbed by rumor’s of her son’s ‘'carrying
on” from old servants and others. Among
other stories which had reached her was
ono to tho effect that ho had become a
practical as well as political miscegena-
tionist—that ho had been elected by an
exclusive negro vote to the Legislature,
and had formed a liason with a buxom
quadroon who claimed to bo his lawful
wife, and who assumed all the airs and
authority of the lady of the Calhoun
mansion.
It may be imagined with what crush
in" force these terrible stories foil upon
the pride of the high-born mother.
Whether it was the realization of their
truth or from some other warning, Mrs.
Calhoun, after a brief conversation with
some of her old servants at the river
landing, camo to tho conclusion not to
exposo herself to the humiliation of wit
nessing the sou’s degradation and tho
profanation of the family mansion, so
with her daughter she returned on tho
boat to the city, and procuring board for
herself and daughterat the Bay St. Louis,
sojourned there for somo months. Hero
Mrs. Calhoun died in the summer of
1863, leaving her daughter alone in tho
world, moneyless and almost friendless.
Nothing could bo got from tho estate. It
had been hopelessly involved by Willie.
Miss Ada had been nurtured with bound
less indulgence. Sho had never known
what it wa3 to want for anything which
money could command. And here was
she, totally inexperienced, an orphan
thrown upon tho world, from a position of
long assured wealth and rank,with no oth
er relative but a brother, who was now her
bitterest enemy. But the young lady
proved equal to her great emergencies,
It would perhaps be an intrusion upon
her private affairs to refer to tho shifts
and expedients to which she was driven
to regain her fortunes, and to save her
from tho miseries of a poverty which
would bo tenfold bitter to one reared as
she had been. Suffice it to say, with the
aid of a zealous and persevering young
lawyer, sho ha3 been placed beyond tho
reach of tho perils so much feared by her,
and wo sincerely hope her fortunes are in
a fair train of restoration, and that her
future will realize the old dramatic cli
max of “virtue rewarded and vice pun
iihed.”
And surely this conviction of tho bad
brother for forgery would seem to fulfill
the last condition of dramatic and poetic
justice. After degrading and disgracing
himself and family by a disreputablo al
liance, and encumbering hi3 mother and
sister’s estate by consenting to a judg
ment for breach of a promise of marriage
of $20,000 in favor ot his quadroo mis
tress, sought to, rid himself and tho e3

GBA8SHOPPEB STOBY.
Tbe Misfortunes nf a Kansas Woman
"Who Pat a Panful ef Dirt Under
the Bteve.
St. Louis Globe. 1
A gentleman who has just returned
from Cherokee county, Kansas, is £full
with remarkable reminiscences of .the
grasshoppers infesting that vicinity! He
will stand around for an hour, relating
the hair-breadth ’scapes of the people
whom the hoppers have completely over
run, and who are leaving their homes and
fleeing from the fearful scourge. The
traveler is inclined to think that many of
the crimes attributed to the Jame3 boys
are to be traced to the more hardened and
dissolute grasshoppers, many of whom,
he says, are arming with shot guns and
organizing a sort of home-guard for often
sive and defensive purposes.
One of his most credible stories is to
the effect that, a few weeks ago, a wo-
man dug up a panful of dirt in which to
plant some flower seed. She put the
pan under the stove, and went out to see
a neighbor. Upon her return, after an
hour’s absence, Bhe found seven thousand
bushels of grasshoppers gonerated by
the heat, literally eating her out of
house and home. They first attacked the
green shades on the windows, and then
a green-painted dust-pan. A green
Irish servant-girl, asleep in one of the
rooms, was the next viotim,"and nftt a ves
tige of her was left. The stove and the
stove-pipe followed, and then the house
was tom down so they could get at the
chimney. Boards, joists, beams, plaster
ing, clothing, nails, hinges, door-knobs,
plates, tin-ware, everything, in face, the
house contained, was eaten up, and when
she arrived within a mile of the place,
she saw two of the largest hoppers sitting
up on end and playing mumble-peg with
a carving-knife, for which should have
the cellar. ■' ,
The way the matter leaked out was on
a suit brought against the insurance com
pany, which refused to pay the policy on
the ground that the building was not
destroyed by fire; but the court rendered
a verdict for the plaintiff, as she had
proven that the grrsshoppers were gener
ated by fire in the stove.

The. Inhabitants or the Sciliy Islands,
One “point of light” at least is dis,
cermblo amid the general darkness of the
sad story of the Schiller. It illustrates
tho reality of the progress which we havo
made during the last century and a half
in civilization that tho islanders of the
Sciliy Isle3, who wore moro than sus
pected in 1707 of murdering the ship
wrecked Sir Clondesly Shovel upon their
inhospitable shores for the sake of a dia
mond ring, were busy and active last week
ia rescuing the helpless creatures thrown
adrift on the ocean by the disaster of tho
Schiller. Foremost among theso wreck
ers thus transformed into philanthropists
were tho people of Tresco, the island seat
of a very remarkable person, Mr. Augus
tus Smith, who has reclaimed to pros
perity and order during the last quarter
of a century the estates in the Sciliy Isles
which belong toH. E. H. the Prince of
Wales in his quality of Duke of Corn
wall, A hundred and fifty years ago
these island tenants of the heir of tho
English throne would have been much
more capable of lighting bale-fires on
tbeir rocks to lure the Schiller on to her
destruction, than of risking themselves
in life-boats upon the angry billows to
rescue her wretched crew and passengers.
After all, in these rather important par
ticulars, it most be admitted that “the
world does move.”—Ntic York 3 arid.
Chinese Labor.
Of tho million of population in the
States and territories west of the Eocky
Mountains, from eighty to one hundred
thousand are Chinese. They make them
selves useful, and soon become efficient
in nearly every kind of manual labor
required on the Pacific Slope. In clear
ing land, in tbe harvest field, and in
building and repairing railroads, their
labor is preferred to that of any other
class of laborers. They are wood chop
pers, shoemakers, tailors, and weavers
In the salmon canneries on the Columbia
river, in which *600,000 worth of English
tin plates are worked up annually, the
Chinese aro employed to make the cans
and put up the salmon. Iu tbe Oregon
City Woolen Manufactory and in the
Mission Woolen Mills of San Francisco,
Chinese men and women do the work.
Tho owners of the mills state that with
out their aid they could not run their
establishments; but with the aid of Chi
nese labor they can compete successfully
with the Eastern manufacturers,
Chinese immigration and labor have
largely increased the commerce of tbe
Pacific States. They save their earnings
and invest in flour for the markets in
China, which are now becoming largely
supplied with American breadstuffs.
They are now purchasing and working
successfully the old placer claims in Cal
ifornia and Oregon.
The apprehension formerly entertained
in the Pacific States—that Chinese labor
would prove injurious to tbo prosperity
of the country—seems now, not to have
been well founded. Even the prejudices
of other workmen against Chinese labor
aro growing less every year, and tbe al
mond-eyed Celestials are rarely disturbed
in their avocations. Their own quiet and
inoffensive habits have done much to
check the rough treatment to which they
were formerly exposed and bring tbem
into popular favor.
There can be little doubt that Chinese
labor will eventually become one of tbe
main auxiliary aids in the rapidly increas
ing wealth of tbe Pacific States.—TTasft

Anecdotes of JDr. Stiles.
Prom the 8oath-We*tem Presbyterian.]
Most of our religious papers have con
tained notices of the great and goodmaa
whose name appears above, and who has
recently been called into the presence of
the Master he loved so fervently and
served so long and so well. It was the
privilege of the writer to have known
this devoted servant of God, and to have
been bom and reared in the section of
Georgia, where his first zealous evange
listic iabors were expended. Reports of
his wonderful powers as a preacher, and
the impression produced by his very ap
pearance as he strode up the aisle, are
among the treasured reminiscences of a
Christian household. I knew him os!;
after the prime of life had been past;
but when his intellect was as vigorous as
ever, and his person although the worse
for work and years, fully justified tie
traditions of a splendid manhood.
His introduction into ths Gospel min
istry, received from his own lips, and re
called from memory after the lapse of
years, was about a3 follows: Peeling
after his conversion an earnest desire to
do good, he commenced his labors among
the plantation slaves, but not be’ieving
himself called to preach, he took as the
foundation of his instructions Franklin’s
Moral Essays. Dissatisfied with these,
he then commenced reading the Bible to
them instead. Trembling lest he waa
venturing too far, and asking forgiveness
if he was, he would feel constrained to
explain a word here and thero that seem
ed unitelligible to his humble hearers.
From this, in the same hesitating and
timorous spirit, begging forgiveness if
he was transcending the limits of duty,
he was finally drawn into an exposition
more or les3 extended, and so into tbe
work of the ministry, before it dawned
upon him, that God was calling upon him
to preach the glorious Gospel.
An incident, connected with his ean;
labors among this class, he used to rehte
with great humor. After absence i:
Kentucky of many years, he returned to
Bryan county, Ga., the scene of these la
bors, and was entertained at the princely
home of the A . An old negro man,
who had his chorister and help in the
work, a servant of hi3 host, 03 soon as he
heard of his arrival came into the draw
ing room to see him, and in a quiet way
manifested much pleasure at meeting
him again. In the afternoon Dr. S. wet:
into the woods to prepare for an evening
service. He had cleared a space for m,
promenade by kicking every obstruction
out of the way; when his attention was
arrested by the most vehement utter-
anceaof some one near at hand. Listening
and looking carefully, he recognized the
voice and form of his old friend, who was
shaking hands with some imaginary per
son ; accompanying the action with every
expression of joy. “How de yon do, mas
