AVERY ALL RIGUT IF BE PASSES TIE PUESENT ONE-HORSE OBDEAL. The count charged that, while the head of a disision of the luternal Revenne Department, the defendant conspired with partiesvamed, and with othors unknown to the Grand Jury, to de- fraud the Government; and beuce an acquittal or a conviction on that ‘count must always sorve dofeudaut as protection ageinst mi; other prose- cution for the eame offense with any person whatsoever or wheresocver.

Special Dupatch ta The Chicago Tribune, AMrmwargee, Wis., Nov. 30.—Tho latest sen- sation in connection with the whisky trials here was occasioned by tho severs rebuke adminis- tored one of tho Ring'a sttornoys last night by Judge Drumamond, o overraling the motion for & new trial in the cases of Schiitz and Bergen. thal. All wiuo know Judge Drummond kuow how scrizpulonely fair aod impartial bo is in bis rulings, and with what laborious patience ho considers tho arguments on both sides beforo rendering his, decision. Tho evi. deuco mgalust Bcblitz and Bergentlal was absolutoly overwhelming, and against ¢ were opposed eimply technical quibbles and befogging logal sutitioties, which availed ‘noth- ing, which practically is true of the drfonse geuerally in the cases thus far broughs to trial. The eame objections wero urgod upmn the motion for a new trinl and in tho #ame mannor. The baldness of this elfoit to fight agdtust 4mo could no: escape Judge Drummound's attention, aud in oversuliug tho motion he took ocoasion to eavina way counsl could not misundemtand that ** it took somo patience on tho part of the Conrt to hear couneel 08k to have tho evidonce doubtod, when no countervalling testi. mony bad boen offered.” “Jontinu- iog, Judge Drummond said, it was almost an insult to ratse such a doubt; and, that whila counsel had a right to do all they could for thair clieuts, THE TIME OF TIL OOURT should not be wasted in maliug Lrivial objec- tions, and that, in his opinion, a groat desl of timo was waeted in these cases. Judge Drume moud's remarks Lad the groater forca from the fact that they wero dolivered without heat or impatience, oot upon tho spur of tho momest ovidently, but as a judiclal admonition that the Court felt compellod to mais sn end of tho olioy of triliog with tho tima of the " Court, which cudently has boen pursued for no oiher purposs than of foicing the ramasining foriy-niue indict= meuta, including those axsiust Sam Rindskopt and Welssert, ox-Collector Erakine's chief do; uty, and tho local wavinulator of the official Ring generally. Judge Drummond's action in this matter augurs that tho Jing's defense tap. tics, which seem oxacily of & plece with those of Boss Tweed in tho New Yotk courts, will not be tolorated Lero.
