BANXGUINARY TUMCLTS 18 BOUCTHERS ITALY. :; Popular tumults, attended by the most atroâ€" cious acts of bloodshed, continue to take place in those parts of the southern provinces visiâ€" ted by cholers. The populace in every case appear to havs been excited by their belief that the cholera was propagated ainongst them by the authorities or other persons, who either poisoned their wells or bad some means of infecting the air with the deadly epidemic. Bome journals, however, attribute the sanguiâ€" nary excesses, that have been committed to Bourbon ard clerical intriguers, who have sought to make the epidemic a means of disâ€" seminating hatred against the Government, and inciting rebellion. ‘The Nazion« publishes advices from Orvieto, dated yest=rday, announcing that many young men are daily entcring the pontifical territory.

It is added Abat there has been a redl breach between M. Ratazzi and Garibaldi. The iatter calls the Minister a rogue, who retaliates by assuring | the General that he is quite ready for a secâ€" | ond Aspromonte. The Gaztta del Popolo, a | ministerial organ, considers that there can be no doubt of Garibaldi‘s intention to make a movement against Rome after his return from Geneva. It states that he has leftin the towns upon the Roman frontier aU the elements of suzh an enterprise, and has only to fix the day and the hour of action. The writer continues : " We cannot yet feel all the tremendous respousibilities to which Garibaldiâ€"exposes Italy, so great is the univerâ€" sal wonder at such blindâ€"persistence, The warnings which Garibaldi has received from so many â€"various quarters are of co avail, neither is he impress=d by the open repug mnance with which the persistentand alarming reports of his projects have been receired durâ€" ing the last two months in every province in Italy. Equally, too, does he disregard the inâ€". ternal dificalties of Itaiy, whose present situâ€" ation is like that of a ship tempestâ€"tossed in ‘ mid ocean." . Several arrests have lately been made in Umbria, near 'g;e Roman frontier, of | persons, suspected to revolutionary psru'-i sans, and evidently on their way into Rowan | territory." The Times is requested to state that the Baroness Adolphe de Rothsckild did not wpgly flowers for the decoration of Gen, Garibaldi‘s apartment on his late reception at Geneva, as was erroncously reported, and that the Baroness remained entirely alooffrom the proceedings connected Â¥ith the reception of the General. The latest summary of gossip aboat Gariâ€" baldi is the following from The Pall Mal! Gzâ€" set‘s, September 16 ; « Letiers from Florence announce Garibaldi‘s arrival in that city. It is said that his sudden return was caused not by his reception at Geâ€" neva, but by aletter from King Victor Emâ€" mancal, addressed to him as a friend, and enâ€" treating him to abandon his projected attack tpon Rome. (No such letter was written.) Thess letters give another version ot bhis re. turt to Florence, where they say he has gone THE KISG AT MILAN | The (distillersere required by law to put | the spirits in honded warehouses within three | days after distillation. The law allows its exâ€" _| portation without payment of duty. To getit | out of this bonded warehouse, nominally for _| exportation, but really to sell in this country, | is one of the tricks of the trade. ‘The process |‘is the same as that practiced when the spirits are taken out of the bonded warchouse, to be transferred to another, and which we will preâ€" sently describe.‘ It may, however, be remarkâ€" ed here that the spirit exported is nearly all common liguor, known as French spirits or alcobol, genenilly 30 per ceut above proof. That is mostly takcn to France where it is reâ€" distilled ; after which it comes back to the country as the best French cognac. At other times the spirits are taken put of the wareâ€" house for the purpose of transferring it from one district to another. â€" Herctofore to do this the distiller or owner had to give bonds that the goods shouldâ€"reach its professed distinaâ€" tion. ‘These bonds were not unlike the straw bait which was at one timea feature of our police courts. During the last session ‘of Conâ€" gress a law was : passed for the regulation otf the traftic, and under the new laws the Sccreâ€" | tary of the Treasury and Commissioner of Internal Revenue havs ordered that bereafter ne transportation of spirits shall be permitted | except on bills,of lading from one District Collector consigning it to the Collector of the .

A still more damaging | | way of defranding the Government is that | practiced by the larger class of distilleries. | Their owners are required by law to keep an @ccount open to inspection, of all the material | bought and used by them in carrying on their | business. The framers of the law thought | this return of the material bought, set forth, in plain figures, must surely prevent the posâ€" sibility of frauds, by showing the capacity of the distillery in comparison with the returns of the owners. Bat instead of returning the number of bushels of" grain," etc., the proprie» | tor merely makes a return that he has parâ€" chased and used #o much © merchandise."| This may be a full return or not, the matter | being regulated solely by the honesty of those | who makeit. If the makers of the law‘ had : goune further and ‘compelled those who make | the returns to state from whom they bought | their " merchandise," the Government officers might have been enabled to trace the "mmerâ€" | chandise." â€" In ninety cases out of a hundred ‘ ‘the assistant assessors appointed to watch | | these respectable distilleries were incompetent | men, whoily unused to the liquor business, and ; who were appointed to their position through | political‘ influence. . Such menâ€"no matter | how honestand upright they are, and it is a . pleasure to say there are many of this kind â€" | are easily deceived by those whom they are to | watch,. One of these assessors is specially | assigned to watch one large distillery and see | that its business is carried on fairly and square» | ly. The salary is $5 a day, very good for the ‘ amount of work performed, but yet how amall | l to that which a distiller can give to have the | watcher on his side of the house! Fifty ‘or | one hundred dollars a day is nothing to pay to | a man who will wink at frands which will | take in the same timie $500 out of the pocket | of the Government. ' ’ xo long as the public or the officers oi the land do not know this, the dealer is safe. ‘The small distelieries rarely turn out more | than Awo or three batrels a week, and som» of them do not average more than on« barrel of a capaâ€" gity of 50 gallons, but often the profit on this is one dollar a gallon, which is profitable to those who are interested in this kind of busiâ€" ness.

All along the line of the procession the streets were thronged by thousands. Nearly every window was filled with ladies, who testified their sympathy with A still, valued at $1,000, situated at. No, 60 Unionâ€"st., was recently seized by order of Colâ€" lector Taber, on the suspicion of itsillicit use. It was placed in the clarge of two Governâ€" ment officers. On Thursday night a gang of unknown men went to the. place, attacked, beat, and drove of the officers, tore down the building, and carried off the still and other property. The perpetrators of this daring outâ€" rage have not begn discovered. ~ > The Government officers think that Hart‘s operations have been connived at by other persons, and that they have shared with him in the proceeds. 000, is also attached. The probability is that the tull amount ot Government dues will fin«l. ly be collect=d, as Hart is thought to be worth $500,000, and the Government officers have effectually prevent=d him from making over his property to any one. The amount of the frands thus far discovered is about $200,000, to accede, declining to listen .to IAZ propositions whatever ‘until Mr. Hart plac himself within the power of the Courts, and thus the matter stands. During the search after Mr. Hart‘s property, under the direction of Mr. Courtney, it was ascertained that be had been an extensive purchaser of whisky, and among his effects were found and attached 500 barrels of whisky, supposed to have eseapâ€" &4 the internal revenue tax. A dwellingâ€"house in Fortyâ€"ninthâ€"st., estimated to be worth $50,â€" 200 and 201), a Mr. Heflin being the lessce, and it was saspected that this was done for thâ€" purpose ef consuomeating frand. It. is alâ€" leged that from these warehouses, through Hart s agency, large quantities of liquore havre been Yc‘m'r\'cd without duty having been paid thereon, and that 700,000 cigars were also spirited awayâ€"â€"the eupposition being that the inspector and storekeeper were privy to the remorii; District . Attorney Courtney being informtd of the state of affairs at once caused the saspected offcials to be arrested, and they were held to bail by a United States Commisâ€" sioner.â€" All of Hart‘s property thai could be fouisd was then attached, to await the resuit of a suit commenced against hm by the Disâ€" trictâ€"Attoruey on U=haif of the United States. Hart, however, it is said, is concealing himsel{, so as to avoid the service of process. â€" His bhiding place has nog yet been discovered. Not long ago Hart‘s counsel applied to Mr. Courtâ€" ney, and offered, on bebalf of kis client, to pay all the tarid dutics claimed, or which can I»: asseesed against hirs, provided the Governâ€" ment would withdraw the criminal charges which, it has institated.
