I (-hall attempt no arguments to influence your

taining your eupport,"! snail devote my best en

With tLc election of Governor Holden, I identi-
fv niK( if fully, fairly and unconditionally. He';
was, during the war, as you at.' know, maligned
-mid villinVd, condemuedand repudiated as a union
111:111. The same party still continue to hate Hol
iten. Fellow-citizens, few politicians are without
their ambition, and' fewer still who will not swerve
a little at times to accomplish their darling object;
but W. W. Holden has been the constant unawerv
iu' union standard bearer, of our good old state,
and unless you stultify yourselves you cannot but
give him your entire support. . ,-!

ias been stolen, as one of the number acting as

tlie theatre brought out a good house notwith
standing the inclemency of the evening. Her
performance of the "Little Treasure" was very
tie-like and agreeable, and fully established the
fact, if I there was before any doubt about the
matterthat she is a little treasure of an actress.
Sue has already made many admirers as we have
Wore jstated and by degrees she will go on un
tf she lias the whole theatrical public in sympa
thy with her, and she richly deserves it too. To
night she has a benefit and it' will riot be right to
deny hier the largest audience, tnat Wilmington is
Cspablfc of giring. The play is well suited to her

The masons of the north are about to receive
a distinguished committee from the capital of
South Carolina.
The masonic fraternity of Columbia have chosen
brothers Wm. Gilmore Simns and Robert Bruno
as commissioners to represent to their northern
brethren the distressed and postrate condition of j

once so numerous, strong, powerful And active.
The working implements of the Order have
nearly all been destroyed by the ruthless hand of
war, and the lodges generally are in a most help
less condition
The brotherhood in the northern states, it is
hoped, will extend'the hand of welcome to these
two eminent members of the fraternity.
They will take their departure for the city of
New York in the steamer on Thursday.
They have obtained the freedom of the cars
from various presidents of railroads, and Messrs.
Willis &rChisholni, of the people's line, have in

New Orleans1 Oct. 26. 1865.
Advices from the city of Mexico to the 18th of j
Septembef are received.
On the 16th of September, the anniversary of
Mexican independence, the Emperor Maximillian
publicly Adopted Augustin Iturbide as his heir
to the throne of Mexico. 5
Maximillian has also published a decree offer
ing the most liberal terms to those who will emi
grate to Mexico.' - ;
It was generally considered that Maximillian
was firmly seated on the Mexican throne. He is
developing the resources of the country to lus
utmost ability. :
Ex-Governor Allen has started a newspaper in
that city called the Mexican Times, which is to
be devoted to sustaining the cause of Maximil
lian's immigration scheme. The most liberal
grants are offered r to American immigrants.
The work of building the railways in Mexico
is being pushed vigorously by Smith, Knight &
Co., thegreat railway contractors of South Amer

Southern Representation in Congress-A
Jifew Finn of Organization Proposed.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tost discourses as follows on the orgniza
tion of the House of representatives :
There is a lack of correct information in cer-
tain quarters respecting the- organization of the '
house of representatives
ine cierK 01 tne last ,:
congress, by law, holds over till the new con
gress elects a speaker, and it is his duty to
prepare an official list of members. He calls this
roll when the house meets, and when the election
of speaker takes place he, uses this roll. Great
power is conferred upon the clerk, but it could
not be otherwise. ,
Mr. McPherson has inforrded his friends, with
out reservation, that he will not place upon the
Official list of members any person claiming to
be elected from a state that has been in rebellion
against the government. To do differently would
be to decide, himself, one of the most important
questions before congress ; "for, to let in eighty
southern members at the outset, to-vote upon the j
subject
of their own recognition, would end the j
ersy in their favor at once.

cases, where the person holding regular papers

he.
JFrom the New York Herald. Oct 28.
Ever since cong.c-is passed the act imposing
uch a heavy ta. :ffon all manner of domestic and
oreign spirits some of the dishonest dealers and
Importers have resorted to all manner of cunning
ences to eraae tbe payment of the taxes im-
losed upon such commodities bv the existing re-
enue laws. The United States authorities have
een busily engaged for months past in endea
voring
to ferret out the guilty parties and bring
nem to punishment, but witliont. snross until
hursday last.
Private information had been eiven to the
Jnited States commissioner and assistant dis
rict attorney of the eastern district of Brooklyn,
o the effect that certain parties had attempted
to fraudulently export three hundred barrels of
alcohol out of New York without
x, and detectives were at once put ontheir
rack. After considerable difficulty the plot was
w . J ' vA Ui( .LU tHO VU-
j cerned are now known to the United States ofli
j cials. The following are all the facts connected
j with the case that we are at liberty to publish for
j the present :
! The three hundred barrels in question were
j originally owned by the firm of Cuthbert & Cun
! ninghara, extensive distillers fn the eastern dis
j trict, who have also bonded warehouses for the
; storage of bonded goods. They sold the goods
; to a man named Bentham Fabian, ostensibly
from Richmond,' who bonded the goods in the
j custom house for exportation on board a vessel
j called the Anemon, which was registered in tlie
usual form. The entry of the goods in the cus
! torn house was made in the name of Richard
Clancy, who turns out to be a mvthical charap-
ter, having existence only in the fertile imagina
Ui UJe cniei actors in tne irauduient
trans
action. Clancy's name appeared on the shipping
papers, and three bonds were given, with two
sureties each one for the shipment of one hun
dred and seventy barrels, one for one hundred
and thirteen and another for seventeen
making in all three hundred barrels. The date
of the entry was October 10, and the bonds were
actually filled up and assigned at the custom
house on that day, which could not have been
the ease had not some of the entry clerks been in
j collusion with the perpetrators of the fraud.
The entry jseCs forth that the alcolnl was in the
bonded warehouse of "Cuthbert & Cunningham,
j the original owners of the goods. The circum
I stance appeared rather suspicuous, and was the
; lirst link to connect the firm of Cuthbert & Cun
' ningham with the transaction. Again, the order
j for the delivery of the goods to Fabian was en
i dorsed by this firm, without which endorsement
the goods could not have been delivered.
The six names signed to the bonds, like that of ;
i Clrmrv
also turn out to be mvthical individuals, i
I .
which proves that at least one or more clerks in
the custom house huve been privy to the whole
transaction, as thft law rpnuirinor siirptis Riomincr
bonds for the export of bonded goods must come
forward in person and qualify as to their sol
vency, but in this case it turns out that the six
names signed to the bonds are fictitious, no such
persons having a local habitation or name in the
community.
The names of the parties in the custom house
who have lent themselves to this gross swindle
are known to the officers of the United States
marshal, and in a few days some of tlie most
startling developments in connection with this
case are expected to le unfolded to the public.
This man Fabian, who appears as one of the
chief actors in the affair, was at one time, pre
vious to the war, employed in one of the de
partments at Washington, but resigned his posi
tion and entered the rebel service, and now turns
up as a rebel refuge from Virginia. His family,
up to within a few days since, was stopping at
the Stevens' House, in this city, but when the
detectives called there yesterday in quest of Mr.
Fabian they were informed that he and his family
had disappeared mysteriously, leaving the Messrs.
Cuthbert & Cunningham to explain their con
nection with the transaction. One clerk in the
custom house, h said to have been paid $10,000
in one single transaction, where the government
was defrauded out of a fabulous sum of money
in the same manner.
The United States commissioner and district-
attorney are now busily engaged in investigating
'" ci1'11 nn vi a omn.oi laialici, ouu
when all the facts are develojnnl it will astonish
the community tot learn to what an extent the
government is defrauded by the carelessness or
malfeasance of some of its employes.

A week from next Tuesday the legal and other .
voters of this magnificent metropolis elect mem
bers of the state legislature. I need scarcely
point out to you the overwhelming importance of
this election. If by any chance Snooks should
get to the legislature instead of Jones the conn
try would certainly be ruined ; and cisa rr M.
On the whole it is consoling to hear all sides of
the canvass, for you then discover that the conn
try is sure to be ruined any how, and .that yon
might just as well take it coolly ana comforta
bly. '
It is a remarkable fact that, just about election
times, there is very little news other than politi
cal. People are so busily engaged in caucussing
discussing and electioneering that they hare no
time to rob, steal, murder, set fire to things ' and
furnish sensation items generally. There is a de
cided lull in everything. The journals iried to
get up a war-with-England fever, but they failed
dismally. Then the World imported the Asiatic
cholera into Brooklyn expressly to sell a few pa
pers ; but nobody would take either the paper or
the cholera. Now the Herald is iroinff to try Jeff. '
Davis before the United States sunreme court.
but nobody appears particularly interested in the
affair at present. There is nothing new except
in local politics, and what do tbe good people of
v limington care about them 1
One of those curious incidents that could only
happen m Pans or New York, is to take nlace
shortly. Mr. Lowe, the chief of the balloon
corps, with the old array of the Potomac, is here
with his balloons, and makes several ascensions
every day, from an amphitheatre near the Cen
tral Park. The balloon is anchored to earth by
a large cable, and you can go up with perfect
safety, and look down upon the world, for Ave
dollars. Fireworks and gymnastic exhibitions
are given to attract visitors to the amphitheatre.
Well, as these attractions are failing and busi
ness is getting rather dull, Mr. Lowe has got up
a new sensation, which he calls a balloon mar.
riage. The bride and groom, with the officiatm
clergyman, are to go up in the ballon and the
ceremony is to be performed in mid-air, before
all those who pay for admission. . Then. the bal-
oon wm be cut loose, and the hannv counlo will
take a wedding tour above the elAid. No doubt
they will, have a high time of it. But what do
you think of a clergyman who will participate in
such it performance 1
Contradictory reports continue to be received
in regard to Mexico. Don Sturbide, the lineal
descendant and rightful heir of the first and Lut
mperor of Mexico, has lust arrived in thin cUv.
He must be a noble fellow if the following
dote related of him is true : It is said that Maxi
millian sent him the order of St. Gaudalope and
other decorations of honor and that he at once
returned, them with this sienificant message:
Tell Maximillian that if imperial decorations are
to be dispensed In Mexico I am the person to be-
stow, not to receive them." No wonder that Don
Sturbide found it convenient to emigrate to this
country after uttering that majestic sentence.
His arrival here is the signal for tbe circulation of
a rumor that Maximillian has formally declared
him to be his heir, bavins final V relinnuUW tho
hope of having children. . This rumor is probably
bogus. It comes to us from New Orleans a ritv
that is getting to be as famous as Philadelphia
for canards. Thirty millions of the new loan of
the Mexican republic lately offered in this mark
are being taken rapidly.
in tne meantime, what has become of th Pen.
