The article presents information about various political developments taking place in the U.S. According to a snippet, it seems from the exposure of the whiskey frauds perpetrated in St. Louis and other Western cities that for a number of years a Ring of distillers and rectifiers have, in collusion with an unascertained number of employees of the revenue, been defrauding the Government of about a million a year. According to another snippet, the outflow of specie is now at full tide, the exports during the past week having amounted to $3,670,352, making the total since January 1 $26,620,327-the largest amount on record. The chief cause of this heavy drain is the calling in by the Treasury of so many five-twenty bonds.
