WIUY HZ WEST TO WASHINGTON, Aftor some tionbio fn gotting at the facts con- cerving the recent much-advertised visit of Alr, G. G. Russell to Washtagton, tho following atalement is vouchsaled as accuiate: Aboat two weeks ago. In pursnnoce of a much-talked-of plan, the indicted diatillers and rectifiers of this city iold & meoting to concart future action, and neurly all thoso * n trouble * wore picsont. In tho coutso of the discussion, it waa muggested tlst in otber piaces aod foimer times it bhad been customa'y to comprom.es caees like the comirg ones, and that there might be o poesibility of doing the eame bero. It wan urged aa an ob- Jection to thisthat the Troasury Department had refused to enter into com, romises, and that the day for that trick had gone by; but, in spite of tlna belief ou the part of some, 1t Was agread to sond s man on 10 590 whbat could be done, The Government claimed certain forfeitures of prop- arty, asscavmeuts for back and aupaid tazes, and monay peuatties for infriogemont, bowmde tho penal fofliction of im-riscamont. Tho eangunivo oues believed, or allected to believo, that, sooner than fizht a long, dificutt, aud doubiful fight for an imprisonmont penaity, tho officiala migh: be induced ta accent the money ponaltios, if paid in full promptly, sud Tot the imprisonmeat go. Again, othors bolieved that,aven if the whole im- misonment wers not wiped out, & part mivht be. and thoy were aoxious to havo tho prouosition mude, TRIS WAS TIIE CREAND OF BUSSELL to Washington; and, winlo there is litils doabt that be alierward did mzke ceriain offers Inok- 1g to bis own tutercst as grextor than auy othor mau's, yet tho simplo truth of the matter 18 that tue Lreasury oficialy promptly, entiroly, and do- cidediy rofused to accent muy proporition from eithor the distillors as a body or Mr. Russoll ver- eonally Consequently Mr. Russell made no dis- closurs, and whatever L mav bLavS to asy ro- monius locked up in bis own brosut aa far as Gov- ornont oflicis!s are roncerued. 1t may fairly be said, in this connection, toas the invariavle aoawer to all applicante bere,— and tbero have beon moro tbau ono.—!:ahecn that, if they would plead guilty, an effort wonld o mado to provent 1hoir ¢ascs 80 a3 Lo fuEuro bs light & punishment as possiblo. This is the only wrrangemont tiat bas been proposed up to thie timo. A.Tnmuwe rerorter called at the distillery of Ghotsen G. Russell yeetordny afteruoon, for the puipose of boariug what thst gontleman bad to #ay tu addition to what he lLad communicated to thio reporter tho night before. Mr. Russell was not in and the roporter tat down to wait. e remaimed until it was_too late for Mr. Ruasell tu ootng to the offico, and Jeft upon being inforaicd that the gentleman eoncht bad protably gene straight Lome from down town without stop- ping at his oftice, But the time epent in waiting for Mr. Ruseal] was not wasted, There was an audience io the oftico nhich was composed of Mr. Furlong, Sr., a partner of 3lr. Russell, Mr. ¥ulong, Jr., and tho Government Storekesper. Mr. Btory. When tho reporter went in mad avuouuceld his busi- ness, TOF ELDED XR. FURLONG #ald ho didn't think Mr. Rusacll had anything more to eay beyoud what nas cootsiued in Tue ‘InIDUNE of yettordn: Iie thought that stated the case pretiy weit, and he was under the jta- presaion that nothivg more could bo got from the gentloman, RB.—Tuhat's abat I thought Iast night when he naid he hadn't anv statement to make, but you seo I did get something—nil 1 waoted, in fact.
