ILLICIT STILLS. COLLECTOR CUBE'S BEPORT. octal TeteKram to The Inter Ocean. WjLSHrKQTOjr, Jan.

7. Collector Andrew ark, of Atlanta, in an elaborate report Commissioner Ratim, estimates that there hi not now more than seventy five illicit lis in his whole district. He says: It III be found that those counties in which osa scattering and isolated stills are be ved to be located are in and contiguous to rugged mountainous country in the rthern part of the district, and in several them where two years ago the produc and sale of illicit spirits were the chief bupation of a vfery large proportion of the tabitants, the evil is now practically sup loesed. When I took charge of the consoli ted districts in November, 1870, there re In the entire eighty three counties tnprising it but twelve registered grain tllleries in operation.

It may be safely stated. generally very small, ot very lljjht pro cing capacity, ana are operated only at orvals.

LOTJTTIT'S REMOVAL. BEKaTOB FEHIiY.

Special Teletrram to The later Ocean. Washington, Jn. 7. Inquiry at the Treasury as to Senator Ferry's connection with the removal of Louttit, late Superintendent of the Eleventh Life saving Station, elicits the information that he knew nothing of it for over a week after it had been made, and when informed of it was amazed, and promptly denied the ground stated, until he was shown the records that contained uncontrovertible proofs of the Captain's Irregularities. It seems, that the removal took place Dec 1.

Sen ator Ferry arrived in Washington the 0th, and not till the 9th, when he went to the Treasury un business, had he any intimation of any trouble. It seems he always maintained that Louttit was strictly honest. thourh close. He never had any political association with him. and he is not a who would be asked to do a political service for a United States Senator.

There is no (ground for Louttit's oilegution that he and Senator Kerry were not in accord in politics, as the question of personal political services was uever mooted between them. THE CHSISTIANCTa SO NEW DEVELOPMENTS. Telezram to The inter Ocean. Washington, Jan. 7.

There are no new developments in the divorce case of Chris tiancy against Christiancy, other than that Mrs. Christiancy's counsel. Mr. Oliver, has filed and served a notice on the opposing counsel, Mr. Ing ersoll, of a motion to suppress the testimony in New York "lor the reasons apparent upon its face," which he will call up on Monday.

As may be suposcd, much depends upon this motion, as if the testimony is stricken put there will be an end to the letter business. Should the testimony be allowed to stand the genuinaaess of the letters, which Mrs. Christiancy denies writiuir as published, will be controverted. There is much surprise expressed as to the letters being published through the plaintiff's coua sel, and an explanation is made by one of the papers that it having been represented to Iiiin that the letters were being published in New York, he gave them out here. Mrs.

Christiancy has been quite sick since Wednesday, and yesterday she became much worse, the symptoms being those of inflammation of the brain. Mrs. ChrUtiancy is rather pniall in stature loss than live feet in height but is still well proportioned. though slightly stouter than Bhe was a year or two ago, having for the rast four months spent much of her timo indoors. Her complexion has bleached out until her cheeks are almost colorless.

She has irrjru lar features, with lips parted, Ehow ing a fine set of teeth; lijjht blui. eves, and light auburn hair. She dresses with taste, wears a very small shoe, end has been described in general terms as a handt me little woman.

OTJE EXPORT TRADE. FEO VISIONS. Special Teletrram to The Inter Ocean. Washington, Jan. 7.

Consul Adams, at Geneva, Switzerland, reports to the State Department that the growing Importation of American provisions has affected in a marked degree the Swiss markets. The value of choice cattle raised in Switzerland for the French market has diminished notably by the importation of American cattle and fresh meat. The sale of preserved meats and fruits from the United States is so well established and advertised that it may be left to take care of itself, but it would, Mr. Adams thinks, be worth while to call atten tion of manufacturers of butter again to the possibility of effecting larger sales in central and Southern Europe, 'l he same is true of cheese. Good butter particularly is a want of Southern Europe.

He thinks too that the American hour trade mignt be pushed in these regions to advantage. tbaob with nob wax.

Special TaleeTam to The In tar Ocean i Washington, Jan, 7. Commissioner Le Duo was to have coiled a convention of wool growers to meet at Washington during the first week In January, to consider plans for a series of exhibitions for the benefit of the sheep raisers. 16 appears, however, that the Commissioner has forgotten all about the wool interest in his anxiety to gather the Georgia tea crop, and it has not been called It is expected that he will return in time to call the convention, however, for the third or fourth week of the month. The Commissioner's friends are surprised at the indiff erenoe he manifests at the announcement of the Hon. Bon Le Fevre, of Ohio, to the elf ect that ho was finally about to begin the investigation of the Agricultural Department, for which his committee was appointed some two years ago.

Le Duo does not appear to be at all anxious. He may not be aware of the tireless industry with which the member from Ohio will pa things wheu he gets to going. It is authoritatively stated that he really intends to begin tho work. He thinks that the stenographer and clerk have enjoyed their pay long enough to be ready to attend a session of the committee, aud if their a willingness to do anything is perflated in any farther they will be discharged. They shall no longer check the laborious inclinations of the members appointed to do the investigation.

Sir.

Jonas presented the memorial of W. J. Moore, of New Orleans, alleging that William Pitt Kellogg procured his election as United States Senator by bribery and corruption, said Moore being one of those bribed: and asking to be examined before the Senate Committee on Privileges and elections. Jonas moved its refer ence to said committee. Mr.

Cameron, of Wisconsin said Moore had been examined by the committee. He opposed reference until is was sen wnetoer tnat examination covered the question ot bribery. Mr. Jonas remarked that the petitioner claimed be was not previously examined as vo ilr. Hill, of Georgia, said ne would ftcsitate to reopen the examination of tae case for such tes timony as that of Moore, whose character he de nounced.

Mr. Logan In this connection, I wished to learn what the prospect was for final disposition of the case. In any event, he thongut It remarkable a man should publish himself to the world aa a rascal wno ought to be in the Penitentiary, and he asked the Henate to investigate him and see if he oacht not. Mr. KellogK said Moore had recently been discharged froiav the New Orleans Custom House for attempted embezzlement.

He had since applied for reappointment, hinting that otherwise hn would send the paoers to Washington. Mr. Kellogg said that Moore on deposing that he bad been bribed by Kellogg had perjured himself. He was a blackmailer, and had ottered to sell kia evidence to each side. Kellogg oould bring a thousand citizens of New Orleans to refute his charges.

Mr. Hill said Moore had once before offered to testify against Kellogg, but, on being given a place In the Custom House, he testified in his favor. He was now repeating the plan. This waa a fine example of the character of the mem torn ot the Packard Legislature. Mr.

Hill had never ien one of them ha would believe nnder oath. He believed Kellogg had championed Moore's creditahihty whea he was examined, though now he offered to bring men to show his bad reputation. A general discussion ensued. Kallocg rose, as he said, to contradict an assertion by Mr. Hill that the members ot the Packard Legislature swore before the committee that they were bribed.

Mr. Hill Interrupted, remarking tnat ne seta no oca thing. The two benatoia went oa speaking together, and Mr. Hoar called the Senator from Georgia to order. Mr.

Kellogg proceeded with considerable feeling to aaaert tliat ne Packard members admitted bribery, and all tne evidence of bribery bad been refuted by Kellogg oa Democratic evldcnoa. He remarked that the Senator from Oeorgia was still trying to keep up the attack on him by means of memorials, etc, in continuation of his threat at the opening of the ease that ha intended to drive Kellogg to the wall. Kellogg then reviewed Moore's testimony. Mr. Hill, la replying, said his assertion was that tho members whs before the committee bad denied bribery hart before sworn they were bribed.

Ho did not propose to notice what the sitting member had aaiu. discnaslon would have one good effect in calling pnblio attention to the influence ot the Custom House in this ease. The morning hour expired and the discussion was dropped. Mr. Ferry Introduced a bill to promote the efficiency of the life saving service and to encourage the saving of life from shipwreck.

Also, whether the government has taken any steps to secure the 'verification of the recently published statement of Professor Hlld. ICR. KSWBESBT obtained unanimous consent to make some remarks on tbe subject. Ha charged distinctly the following facts, and he thought they were susceptible of clear proof: That fraudulent testimony and altered official documents had been brought before the commission: that cuoh alterations and falsa testimony were made continuously by authorised agents of the British Government; that extraordinary precautions had been taken by the ag enta to prevent the discovery of the alterations by the United.

States Government. The question, he continued, was a momentous one. The open charge was clear aa noonday, that In arbitration between two of the most civilized nations of the globe to settle a grave question of national right, false and fraudulent testimony had been knowingly manufactured and produced by one party to the wrong of the other. He believed that the party in power in England at the present time had no nana in mis crime, tnat it lelt tbe disgrace bronght apon its government, and that it would willingly reopen the whole subject. If the British Government did not atone for this wrong.

England wonld again have earned the epithet of f'Perfldioua Albion." Ue asked leave to offer for ref erenoe to the Committee on Foreign. Affair a resolution reciting the allegation that, before the so called fishery award commission, in Halifax In November. 1877, false, fraudulent, simulated, and altered official documents and statis tics were offered and prodaoed in order to procure an illegal award, ail of which false and fraudulent evidence waa well known to, and procured designedly and with corrupt intent by, the agents and officers of the British Govern ment It further recites that this state ot facta has long since been brought to the notice of the English Commissioner and the British Government, whe have all declined to take any steps toward an Investigation, and that it is believed that tbe promoters of this great national wrong, thougn known, have been rewarded by the brlt tsh Government, and, in oonelnsion, provides for the appointment of a special committee to investigate the subject, int. mtD objected to the reference of the resolution. MB.

HAWLIT said he more than doubted the wisdom of the language mads use of to dsy. The Unltad States government and the British Oovernmeat Had submitted a grave question to International arbitration, to. th eternal honor of both people. Tne award had been made against Great Britain at Geneva, and it had paid it like a man. The Canadian fishery award bad been made against the United State Government, and it had paid it Ilka a man.

It was alleged in the pnblio journals there had been grossly fraudulent testimony given in that case. He was willing to preserve the policy which. would be pursnud between gentlemen. He would wait until tho gentleman had time to see whether he had not himself been imposed on. Out of courtesy for the British Government It should be taken for granted that fraud had been committed on It first, then on tbe United States Government.

He had no doubt that the British Government would, if it found that fraud had been committed, ask that tbe question should be reopened. He thought the matter could safely res in the hands of the Secretary of State. Mr. Newberry The British Government and oniclals have bad notice of this for probably two yeara Springer's resolution was then referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the subject dropped. The House went Into committee of the whole, Blmontoo ia the chair, on the private calendar.

The committee rose, and the following bills were passed by tbe House: To confirm the title to certain lands In the State of Ohio; and tbe Senate bill for the relief of Winnebago Indians In Wisconsin. Adjourned. THE BUSINESS WORLD. BKEAJJSTTJFFS. LTVXEPOOL.

YOUTHFUL MENDICANTS. They Abound to a LVcfrre That Invites la terference. A form of mendicancy which has become noticeable on the streets of late is that of young lads generally from 7 to abont 15 or 10 years of age. They are most frequently met with in the business streets and around the entrances of places of amusement and restaurants. The man emerging from one of the latter resorts after a comfortable meal is not likely to refuse to lend a favorable ear to the young petitioner, and, as often as not, has neither the time nor the inclination to weigh carefully the justice of the demand on hu benevolence Ihe ladies are, during the afternoon, also the prey of these young beggars.

They are naturally susceptible of a leeilag of sympathy for the youDg, and do their charitable work without questioning the worthiness of the boys. The general plea of these youngsters Is that "they want a nickel toward getting a bed for the night." One of that ilk informed The Inter Oceajt reporter that he had just arrived from Oswego, N. and hadn't eaten nothing for two days." His face did not bear out the assertion that he was an involuntary disciple of Dr. Tanner. The truth is that, as a general rule, these boys are importers, and, when otherwise, are sent out by parents or bosses who make an income from the work of the little fellows.

Tne society which takes children under its humane protection should bunt up these people and bring them to book." No doubt the best thing to do with tnese small mendicants is to hand them over to the police and have them sent to one of the several institutions for waifs and vagrants. By this means the evil may be be leat checked and the apparent harshness of the proceeding result in saving the youth from growing up into adult cruue and save the boy from, being an expense to the State aud a disgrace to society.

At 6 o'clock yesterday evening William Cooker, of No. 123 West Randolph street, driver of one of Pardee's wagons, left it standing for a few moments on the corner of Henry street and Blue Island avenue Returning he found that 1,600 cigars had been stolen from the wagon, and he soon after reported the loss at the Twelfth Street Station.

Aboutan hour later a man called at the station and said his son, William Joyce, had stolen a quantity of cigars, and, as he did not want him to lead a crooked life, he requested that he be arrested and an effort made toward his reformation before too late. Abont 9 o'clock Officers McDe rmott and Bxennan entered a saloon on Bine Island avenue, where Joyce and another young man were playing pooL As soon as the young fellows saw the officers thev ran out the rear door and into the alley.
