The Daily Dispatch: August 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], Female Revenue officers. (search)
Female Revenue officers. --The practice of smuggling diamonds, jewelry and other valuables from Europe by female passengers, has become so common and so extensive that two female inspectors have been attached to the revenue service at New York, whose business it is to search all female passengers for concealed dutiable articles. These feminine officers take the female passengers in charge as soon as they land, and give them and their baggage a thorough overhauling, which, in a short time, will put an end to smuggling, if the female inspectors are only faithful in the performance of their duties. In France and other continental custom-houses, women are employed in the same duties.

We must even confess it frankly: young America, confident in a dream of perpetual peace, as much perhd to regulate its sale, doing what in a normal situation would have been the most anti-economical, anti-liberal Later, in France, under similar but more tragical circumstances, the National Convention tried also, by a maximum force, to counteract the scarcity of 1798; but in France also the evil increased by the remedy itself: so that the American maximum of 1776 can now be better understood, and will be remembered. Let us read in the resolutions of the Provisional Congress of South Carolinssioners, I am happy to recognize the names of my country men, the French Huguenots, who originated from the provinces of France the most advanced in the salt manufacture; practical and enthusiastic people who, giving their arms and skill to the indu
