The Clerk read the letter, as follows: PHILADELPHIA. March 9. 1866. DEAR Sin: We beg leave to address you upon a subjectwhich we regardas important to the business menof this city general]. but especzallyto thosewho are enengedin the tra e of manufacturedtobacco. distilled spirits and refined petro cum. You are aware that the existing internalrevenue laws give to the owaers of such property the right to place it in bondedwarehouse.whence it can be removedfor exportation free from tax, and for consumptionupon paymentofsamc. Bonded warehouses established for such purpose are located.we believe. in everydistrict at this city or port and are by law placed under the supervision of the collector of internalrevenueof the particular district in which so located. Before any property cpn beplaced in bondedwarehouseth is owneror consignee is required to passan entry and give bond to the collectorof the dtstnct liiivingehurge of the ware housein which it is designedto store the property; and upon its removal either for export or o onsumtion the sameform has to be again complied wit. Understanding. as you do. the location of the several congressionaldistricts of this city. you will read ily perceivethe great trouble and delay which must necessarilyoccur in having to Ylsllj almost daily the several collectors offices. situated. as they are. so distant from each other. It not unfrequently hap pens that parties desirousof exporting such articles are required on the sameday to go to 3 or 4 collectors officesfor the trapsaction of the required businessfor a single operation. The inconvenience. tijouble. Loss of time. togetherwith the pecuniarysac rifices which must oceiismniillyoccur. when rompt and immediate action is necessary.must be O vions; and such promptnessof action is not attainable under the present system. c assumethat the policy of the Government is to nliordall possiblefacilities to trade not inconsistent with a properfulfillment of the lliws; and hencewe beg leave to suggestto you a modification of the in ternnl revenuelaw. which. withoutinjuriously aliecting the rights of the Government.will remed the evils to which we havesdverted and which are O sta clcs in the way ofconst antly increasing business operations. The modification of the law which wqwou d propose is that all the bonded warehouses in this ort shallbo put under the supervision of one colect r who shall be chargeable With all rnntterse on nected With the property stored therein and that such collector shall be appointed by the secyTronsu. Under sue regulations all the requ irementsof the law in reference to such businesse ould be fulfilled at one ofllce. The advantageof the arrangementmust be apparent to every onc. If your ndgment in this matter is in accordwith the views ercin expressedwewill feelgreatlyobliged ifyou will adoptsuch courseas in your judgment is bestcalculate to securetheobject in view. We are, sir. very respectfully. yours. Hon. RossHramm. Tniiviiu. of Iepresentattm, Washington.D. G.
