Washington Lette on internal revenue and politics in 1877
A Washington letter reports a movement to replace Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum with Bluford Wilson. It details alleged revenue irregularities by Cincinnati and Kentucky distillers, mentions Weitzel the Cincinnati collector, and notes political maneuvers around Pillow and military matters. It covers Mexican policy, cabinet focus on Mexico, Butler Hawley and McVeigh clashes, Morton's letter aftermath, and local graft concerns over street contracts in Logan.
