SENBATIONAL. The New York Herald is publishing s lot of il trash persortivg to be news about Whsky Jung matters heze, which 1n fact is nothing more {har weak inventions of somo reckless rporter, whose insensibility to the truth i only equaled by the ' malice Yhich be displavs in wanton attacks pon iodividnals who have thue far stood above 160 general coituption that prevails. The as- gertion that there was & prospect of Prisident Crant's; indictment, that sach an event bsd ieen discussed, is an idiotic fabrication, and cannot be justitied upon avy ground. Beyond s (e malicions 1naividuals whose irresponsibility sssoabsolute that they can afford to ssy apy- ‘thing, the subject has not been seriously re- ferred to by avy pereon. Itis the almost uni- yersal sentimont of the commuuity, regardless of party. toat Gront has shown clesn baods, &ad that bis prosocation of revenue robbers has been conducted without fexc. favor, or affection. Quite naturally the removal of Henderson created more or less cen- sure, pat thie general voice of tho people JUSTIFIED THE ACT. Nor nas their criticism been to the effect that the President’s conduct in the matter laid bim wen to tha charge of wnoclean wkirts in connection with the frauds on the revenue. The strongest charge made against him, even by Henderson's friends, was that he. throogh per- sonsl prejudice and hostility, caused the re- moval of that oficial, and by so doing troke the force of ihe prosecution, thus coing irreparable injury ~ to the cause of reform. No responsible man has yot smid tha: Grant was 8 beveficiary of tbe Whisky Ring, and it moy be truthfally 8aid that ope of the itive results of the Government prosecutions hea been to show that the personal probity of the Presidant has been viudicaled in a manner which is gratifying to his Tnends, and which BLFLECTS HONOR UFON THE COUNTRY 12d the administration which ho represents. Inregard to the charge that the National Re- rflllm campaign-fund of 1872 was rawed ky & tsx upon tho 8t. Louis Whisky Ring, sud that throngh the instrumentality of this Grant was oleciod President, all the represonta- tive Rapublicans here join in saying that it has nofonndation, snd that the slcry is made of whole cloth. Beveral of the leading spirits of the campaign of 1872, who either disbursed or wers' famihar with the rmising sod dwbursing of the fund referred to, bave said to vour correspoodent that no such money was raiged bere, and that such s mode of securing & campaign fund would not bave been countenanced for & momeont. There is o doubs that certain thieving officisls extracted money from distilers upon the pretext that said money wes goinginto & ampsign fond, and it was equally certain that this was ' ONLY A RASCALLY GAME which the oficial robbers plsyed upon the dis- llzrs to got their moner. M'DONALD. 1t is rumored tbat Gen. McDonsld is roing to mske s dceperato effort for anew trial, and that he clarma to have discoverod certain cor- ruption upon the part of individusl jurors that will undoubtedly secure him avother chance for his liberty. Another ground of his motion for s new trisl will be the discovery of new matorial testimony which ho could ot by due diligance have discovered before his trisl. McDonsald was on the point of furrendering and celling for a ssnteoce when he made the discovery, and he immediately decided tomake another fight for fraedom. DYER. District-Attorney.Dyer will publish in to-mor- yow morning’s papers a card in which he stamps the ageertions of the correspondent referred to in the first part of this dispatch s being untrae, 2 pure {abrications. Col. Dyer's fricnds are quits jubilant over his confirmation by tho Sen- ate, and regard his recognition by that body as s moet sigual victory over thoss who were trying 0 put bim down. —_— CHICAGO. A DULL DAY. The only thing of interest st the Custom- Bouss yesterdsy was the visit which District- Attorney Bangs peid the Government officials in tbs morning. On this occagion he met nearly all the gentlemen connected with the severs departments, buv the object of his call was Werely to form their acquaintauce, and o have A riandly, socisblechat. It is the prevailing im- feession among the officials that this district %ow has an attorney who is a talented lawyer & a quiet but detarmined man, who will see st no loopnole of escape is lefs to dalers in the * crooked.” He will have e opportunity to distinguish himself in the rosecation of the whisky cases, a8 there will be %ma of the best legal talent arrayed on the op- Poste ride that can be secured in this part of the country. While the work of preparation Xl necessarily consume some of Mr. Bangs’ &me, thers is every probability that the trials ¥ill some up on the 11th of Jsnuary, although it 11 been rumared, and is quite natural, that the defease will endeavor to delay the trinis 25 Jong possible, with a view to ning the inves- until public opinion shall bave died out. _Ar. Baogs has not yet received his commis- Sion, but it is expected daily. Upon its receipt bevwill proceed to qualify and enter formally Ipon the duties of the office. DUntil the com- Rismon s received, no further stepe wili be Skenby the Government, but when tho docn- Ten: arrives it is not 1mprobable that a council owarwill be heid between the Distnics At- loruey, Gen. Webster, and Col. Matthews, and & me drawn up, the execation of which 27 causo sorrow in the breasts of the wicked. r. Banen was at the Palmer House uotil last ©ening, when he accepted the invitation of Wme friends to stay with them st their resi- Sencs on the Woet Side. He will remsin 10 ihe tly todar, and, 1f it commission should artive : % morning, will probal take 3+ :‘;;M the office at once. If no{ he will prob- I¥leave for Lacon to-morrow afternoon, and Wi to thig city when his commission arrives. GRANGERS. The Illinots Organization. Breciat Divateh to The Cliicago Trivune.

No resolution on finance, transportation, or ooy other general subjects of interest, were presented or diecussed, and it may be said that, 80 far a8 any practical result is concerned, the meeting waa a failure. There were about $10,000 in tho Treasurer's hands at the opening of the gession, and a psid up membership of about 8,000 members—e57,000—last year. 5. M. Smith asked, i his address, if any one knew what had killed the Granges, and & mem- ber of the Executive Committee answersd poli- tics, which remark was received with applanse. The Granges in this county are nearly all dead. Itis doubtfalif more than a dozen will elect ofiicers again. SPORTING. BASE BALL. CONFEEENCE AT LOTISVILLE. One of the very best baso ball-organizations in the country is the new one at Lowsville, aud, without discussing the merits of the players en- gazed, it may be said that no association or cor- porztion at the back of a club excels tho Lomis- ville in those things which go to mcke the exhibition respectable and give it cbaracter. Some time ago the officers of the Chicago, St. Lonis, and Cincinpati clubs received and accept- ed invitations to mcet and comsult with the Louisvilles, and Thursday the conference as- sembled in a pleasaat parior in the Louisville Hotel. The party was made up of President Hul- bert and Secretary Spaiding, of the Chicagos ; Manager Graffen and Director Hazard of tho St. Louis ; President Joyce of the Ciscinnatis ; and Vice-Presidont Chass and Mr. Sherley, of the Louisville Club. The object of the meeting was primarily the comparison and exchange of views among the delegotes ae to the best inter- est of the game in the West and the whole coun- try. There was alsoa wish on the part of the Leuisvilles to learn whatever they could 2s to the proper methods of conductiog their Club, a busioess in which thoy were, of uecessity, new, if not greap. The aession of the conference Thursday af- terncon was long Lot harmonious, and rosuited in a good undersianding emoung the delegates. In the evening the whole confareuce, togeth:r with 3 considerable number of the officers of the home Club, seated themaelves ata splen- did banquet, which wa3 enlivened with much gooa bumor end some small alloy of beverage. Fricay’s *sesgion was a protractea one, and was occupied with the discussion of some matters of importancs to the clubs themselves but not to the general pubtic. During the stay of the delegates in the city they were well entertained by the Louisvilles, {whose reputation for hospitality did not suffer {‘ daring the time, At e head of the Lonisville Club is Mr. Haldemann, President of the Courier-Journal Company, & gentleman whose gonial, and even paternal, interest in eversthing that will help his city is notable and_creditable. Vice-Preai- dent Chaso is an active busineas man, as well as s courteous and cultured gentlemsn, whose patronsgo is a groat help to the Clab. The other members of the mansgement are uniform- I5 ploassni men, and successful merchants or tradesmon. The new grounds of tha Club zra well situsted, ond conveuient of eccess. They are mot yet fitted up further thau has resulted from a thor- ough system of grading and tilling. 1t is in con- templation to pat up a bandsome stand against the opening of the season’s play. The nine selected to represent Louisvillo have before been mentioned in these columus, and can be beartily approved with the exception of onc man. The great strogglo of the next sesson will be between the two vines of Cincinnati and Louigville. Tha bitier rivalry in thoie ctios will tend to greatly improva tho attendance and interest, and it i8a aafe prophecy that, if tho games ore well and equally played botween the Clubs pamsd, they will excite moro intorest than any Eastern olub'a visit can. It1s fairto eay that Louisville has much the strongest nine on paper, but that, of course, caunot be held a safe gaarantes of the results of any games. NoTEs. An Esstern balzoaker has been for some time oxpermentingwith base-balls without rub- ber, and now claims that be has found the best combination. He uses tightly-wound yarn, cov- ered with leather, when about 114 inches in dinmeter, and then again wound up to the usual gize. It is entirely probablo that some one man- ufacture—tho ono in question or somo other good one—will be selected by the ruling associ- ation as the standard for all gemes. The question of the engagement of Jones for 1876 has been settied by tne action of the Chi- cago Club in giving bim up his contract, whioh was entered into several months ago. The Cin- cinnatis have epgoged bim, and be will there- fore be seen in their outtield in 1876, The action of the White Stocking management seems to have bean sound in this matter, because after the contract with Hines had been entered inio the Clab had men enough, and, though Jones ia unquestionably & strong map, yet his wish to play actively in Ciucinoati rather than act as substitute bere was wisely respecied. News from Cornicg, N. Y., is to the effect that James White, of next year's Chicago Clab, hav- ing protensions to ability in the pitching depart- ment, is devotmg s spare time to doveloping bis talent in that live. He has built on his farm & shed aboat 60 feet Jong, 10 feet high, snd tho same 1o width, in which he is intending to proc- tice pitching dunng the winter in company with Ius vounger brother., The Iatter hos already shown considerable piaying strepgth, ana was last season ssid to hava power to deliver a ball with grenter curve than any other player on the turf. What the two may dovelop before spring may be of valueto the profession. and it will cortafnly keep both in good shape for spring. pimh sy BILLIARDS. GYRILLE DION AND GARNIER. Considersble discussion has arisen over tbe fact that Cyrillo Dion has forfeited the Delansy championship medsl to Garnier without a con- test or attempt to dofeod it. In a letter to the BSportsman Dion thus explains bis action. After reciting how the medal passed from one player to snother until 1t was finally won by himself, Mir. Dion 8ays : I do not think that Garnier acted Iy in the Vignaux _case, or in allowing the medal to lapee to Mzurics Daly without o straggie, after having msde such a paint_ of getting it from 'the original holder. Garnier bas before and since that time expressed his jer intention of declining match-plsying, both through the press and in couvereation, But no soonerdo I win the medal in 3 match game from Daly than ho ot ance comes to the front with s challenge. 1f Garnler wanted to be chempion, why did be not defend i aguinst Maurice Daly instead of resigniog it withont & struggle, or do a& I did, play and abgolutely win it in & match gime? These are some of my reasons for declining to defend the Delaney medal aguinst Gar- nier, and 1 18 zot fram any ides that 1 am not_cspable of beating Lim, for in the tournament I proved myselt tho better ran. Perhaps Mr. Ghroier's reason for * coming to the frout " with a challenze 80 soon af:er Dion's saccess was because ha wished to prove his sa- rity 28 & player. In tnelate tournament Ll.r Dion did not defeat Mr. Gainier, aithough bo did win trom every other player, Iu all pro- vious tournaments Mr. Dion stood but a sorry ghow with Garnier, and his claim of superiority ia ot well established. He ebould not Lave de- clined an opportunity of proving himself the better msn. It was doubtlees to decide this very question that induced Garnier to publish his challenge for tho measl. —_— THE TURF. BUNNING EACES AT NEW ORLZANE.

Triday last the Prairie Club had s pleasant ‘meeting at the Dexter Park grounds to setlie tho possession of three very handscme prizes of silverware and bronzes. The dieagrecable char- acter of tho day prevonted a largo attendance, snd only ten mombera entered. Thoy wore bandicapped by Messrs. Johnson. White, and Feiton, and the party then proceeded 10 shoot at Tificen birds per man, handicap distance sod 60 yards bonndary. The result was a8 follows Johnson (26 yards) 13[Wells (21 yardn). 2 o 12(Bntler (23 yards) 4| Mulligsn (35 yard 15(Elston (2 yuras). L11{Fiteh (26 yards).. Some other members shot a pert of th and then withdrew, Mr. C. E. Felton's excellent scoro of 15 straight tooi first prize, and the sec- ond andthird went to Mesars. Johnson and Wells. THE GUN CLUD. Fourteen members of the Gun Club enjoyed 5 shoot at Tom Stagg's grounds Friday for the diamond chsllenge badge winch had been ro- signed by Greone Smith, the last holder. The conditions were fifteen birds from five traps, 80 yards rise, threo minutes to gather. Ouly four of the party finished their ecores, as follows: 1 Xilled 2 killed illed This awarded the badge to Mr. Brico. Afier the Club shoot had been finished & couple of in- terestivg sweepstakes were shot and the party dispersed. THE PIGEONS AT DEXTER PATK. Mention has been made receutly of a move- ment to oust Mr. William Wachter from the su- perintendency and care of the extensive pigeon- ©oops at Doxter Park, whore there aro at present about 3,500 domesticated birds, or doves as they are commonly called, and some 1,000 or 1,2 wild pigeons. The enpervision of this exten: collection involves the exercise in no small greo of patienco, gkill, watchfulness, and o nico kpowledge of the habdits and needs of the feath- ered boarders, whose appetites are difficult and exacting, and for whose health and comfort the most thorongh sapitary regulations are requi- sita. None bat sportsmen know how essential it is that the birds kept on hand for trsp-shooting should be well cared for, aod how gquickly tho effects of ignorance or elovenlmess are visible. Hitherto no fault has been found with the management of tho birds in the Dexter Park coops, and the shooting clubs usiog the sdmirable grounds and conveniences proyided by Col. Mansur have had no oocasion to desire 8 change in any respect. Of oourse the movement to oust Mr. Wachter from the charge of the pigeon-coops is in the interest of an individus!, and notof the cluba. A recent visitlof inspection by s party of un- bissed gentlemen, incinding several reprosenta- tives of the press, established boyond queation the fact that the pigeons are in excellent hands. The coops are models of cleanliness and con- venient arrapgement, and the resalt is visible at a glance in the clean, pure, fine plumage of the birds, which are in perfect feather. They are a8 fat, sleek, and strong as suy trap-shooter could wish to see brought upon the fleld in sn im- 8 portant match—in short, a8 fine a lot of hird: 88 ever were seen. ANNOUNCEMENT. Toesdsy the second part of the home-and- home maich beiween selected tens of the Chi- cago and Detroit Gun Clubs will beshot at Dexter Park, the conditions being twenty-five irds per man. — PEDESTRIANISM. O’LEARY TO BTOKES. Ia these columpo last week appeared a chal- lenge to O'Leary. the Chicago pedestrian, from 2 man named Stokes in New York. In anawer O'Leary wrote to the Herald on the 13th, saying that he will walk the match something like two wecks later than was proposed, provided the challenger will make his deposit stake acoessible by puttiog it in the hands of Wilkes or the Cipper. A FENALE WALETE. The celobrated European pedestrienne, Fran- loin Bertha Von Hillern, haa arrived in Chicago, sad the public may expect feats which will canse O’Loary to guash his teeth, sand Weston to foam at the mouth.
