It i8 no doubt with foolinga of uantold pleasuro that the woyward juror romns, though only for a limited soason, to gazo upon his broad acros snd his lowimg bhords, leaviug fur belind tho distractions and the tumuit of tho city, togother with tho nerve-destroying efforts to pain an insight into ono of tho most cotplie catod sories of crimes that over waa iuvesti~ gated, District-Attornoy Dangs allegos that the rea~ #on for the sudden sud extraordinary ndjourn- wmout of tho Grand Jury untit Tucsday wus only beeauno the Jurors wanted to go howe, Whother or not thers is sny motive behind that, moy bo loft with the reader to decide. IL in possible that some important wilnoss is atill absons, aud that the Government oflicials hope to got bold of him soon. 1t s niso possible that the jury havo reatly considered all tho ovidence in winsky matters that is likoly to comne before them, and that thero is nothiug loft for them to do.

Golsen's Lostimony yeatorday was of con- siderabio intoroat, as it rovealed soma of the in- ner workingn of tho ring, and brought them ont into groater prominsuce than Law before boen attamoted, From s source doomed thoroughly reliablo, & TRINUNE raportar yeaterdsy obinmed 8 pretty fair abstract of Golsen's teatimony, bis quations drawing out of the Informer horo s lit- tio and there & little. until at last, aftor tho exors cito of considerable paticnt questionlug and cross-quentioning the rorult was reached. In tho firnt placo, Qolson recited somo tacts concozrnluy; hin ABRANGEMENTA WITH GATNERS, Whoro the riglit kind of men conlil bo tound, men who would wink at tho Indis-rubber.pack= ago inlquity, and who would occastonally do FOMO MO8t ul.ouulaluglg' libersl pauging, he pald thom as bigh s '$200 t0 €300 por month.

All the books of the firm_of Golsen & Fastmsn wero brought ito thoe Grand Jury room, and thore was a thorough overbauliug of usccounts, Ouo of tho books, which played perhaps tho moat Important part iu this investigation, was the firm's ¢heck-book. Mr. Golsen was called upon to explain tho way fu which tho chock-book was lteps, and ho patd, in subsiance, that, 8g the stubs showod, chocks wore made out paynbla to ' currency,” but that tho rosl parties who received the valus "iof the checks . wore overy distilling Hirm in* town, * excopt Shufcldi's, tho Iivols and the Chicago Alcobol Works. Of course, tho rosson for making tho chacks out to the order of ‘*‘curroncy” instond of to the ordor of tho distillors thomsolves was to avoid giving publicity to tho trapsactions. Whon Qolaen & Lastman gave a check draan to tho ordar of “* crrreucy ” on their bank, It waa given to the distiller for whom it was Iolonded, who citbior woat himself, or sont his clork or office- boy, to tho bauk upou whick it was drawn, sud drow tho cash. ~Golsen & Eastman could Layo drawn tho money themsolves, if thoy so chose, and then liavo paid it over to tho distillors, as they nometimos did, iu fact, GULSEN FURTHEUMOLE TENTANILD * that, while io bad uevor paid Relim, Hesing, or Buffalo Millor monoy for political purposcs, yet, a4 a politician, ho had contributed moncy out of s owu pocket for political purposes without knowing to whom the monoy went. "This was the eubsiavce of Mr, Gulsen's liitle talic to tho Grangors. Iv way elaborated, of course, by tho enthueissm which a man mani- fests in’ srelatiug facts in his experi- ence, and st times was oqual interost to cholco sotoztions from tho pages of o novel. 8till, Mr, Golsen did not concludo his story, and whon tho Graud Jury adjourued it Qid o until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, whon Mr. Golsen will aguin tako the stand and reveal the thoughts whicl perturb bhia jnuer couscious- news. - s TIE. ADJOURNMENT, Three rengons havo been assigued for tho ad- journmeut of tho Giand Jury trom Thurs- duy afternocon umil Tuesdsy moruiug, the first of which bhas been pgiven above. The sccoud reason asalgund is that Mr. Doxter probably hma pressing legal burinoss not connoceted with the Government casos, which requires his stteution during the interludo, and tho last reason, which has per- niaps the reatest woight amuny thoss who' are anxious tor sumotlung to happen, is that the Instrict Attornoy has been cowmissionnd to draw up soveral uew indictments in uccordauce wit'tho diroctions of the Grand Jury, aud that o will pags tno timo beforo the roassembling of tho jury in srrangiog the proper legal forms.
