It would be difficult to make an exsggerstod statement ot the foollog nmong tho people. A perfect rush was made for seats thia morning in the Courte raom, and those who got eligible positions, whore they could easily hoar tho evidence, were oconafd- erod fortuoate. TOE LAUGHTERLESS. Every particlo of evidence was listened to with the profoundent attention. Ludicrous passages {n the sestimony would occaslonally excite auppressed laughter, and, on one oocasion, Judgoe Treat instructod the Marslal to arrest the first man who laughed. The Coart intends that this shall be a solemn bosloees. The most importurbable man In the vast throng waa the defendant, John YcDonald. Ho site lu an eany position, prosorves & nonchal- ant air, sod rogards tho witnesses who charge him with tho grossest crimo witls o perfect calm- uess, MANY NOTABLE TEOPLE were present, including Gen. Sherman, Levi P, Luckoy, the President's assistant private sccro- tary, and Dan V. Voorhies, TUX LIGHTNINO BIDDLES BUPPOSED NONCONDUO- TORS. The testimony waa partioularly startling from the fact that It brought into the Ring peraons not heretofors oxpected, and fixed gullt upon certain implicated parties against whom no evidonco hss uniil pow boon wdduced. Tue exposuce of Col. Willinm Gsosvenor, croat- ed quite a eenasion, Grosvenor published in the New York Herald of yesterday what purported to ba a truo history of the Whisky Ring, in ‘whioch be mads limselt appear s most virtuons man and noble Brotus: and this faot, taken in connection with the teatimony of s witnesa that, ‘whilo managiug editor of tho Democrat, he was bribed to sappreas certain articles derogatory to Con Maguire, tho Ropablican nominee for Mayor, has croated & great deal of funny comment. The Globe-Democrat of to- morrow will cootsin s lengtby card from J. . McCullagh, managing editor, in reply 1o the Herald srticle, applying to Groavenor all the infamous epithets which the English language affords, The testimony bringing in Btilson Hutchins for & sbare of ¢rooked plunder has astonished a great mauy peoplo who have besn made to put faith in the Incorcupsibility of that eatateaman, “gTor, TRIEF!" It is the more ana espedially astonishing, aa Hutchins, through his paper, the Times, bas for sevoral days been making merciless war on the ‘Whisky Riog. The Times, in fact, was the only paper here for soma tima through which the whisky newa oould be learned. TN COBROBOBATIVE VALUE OF JOICK AXD riTz- BOY'S AFFIRMATION, The funny eplsede of tho procesdings io-day wore the lettora from Gen. McDousld o Com- missloner Douglass, which were resd in avi- dencs by the prossoution. ‘Tha lelters were written seriously onough, but wers made qulte ladicrous now by the fact that the Supervisor, in arp sud honest lookout for fraud, reported thst he had not only made the proper inspections of dis- tilldts, but that be had made them in the prés- ence of Joyce and Fitzroy, who were aftar. warda proven the biggest thisves out of jall, sod in confederacy with him, .t The oame of Gen. Babcook, saon yoaterdsy, figured quite extonsively in the avidence of to- day, and hus friends bere are quite anxious that he should come op, and, Lv appesriug as b nees, get au opportunity o vindicate himself. They claim that his pame and (nfluence havo been used by corrupt offiv hese 1o 1mpose upon credulous diatillers. Ii thaa probable that ho will come, Thero i largo class of peopls, glrblpl the proat majority, who belleve that labcock, as well as other Washingtoa oficials, are actually snvolved. THE GRAND JURY wers in session to-day and exemined a pumber of witboasse, including Dr. Pretorious, oo-aditor with Carl Bchurz, of the Westliche Fost, No iu- dictmenta were returned into open court, TWO TAEASURY DETECTIVES, J.
