INDICTMENTS, THE s WAITING FON NETURNS, Thore was & yathor unusual stir around the Custom-ilouse yesterdny mormng. Dy 10o'clock tho Llla woro protty well filled with interested spectators, and the United States Court-room was jammed with those who cared to onduro ity stifling afr and awalt tho progrous of ovents, It war ovident that the erowd had congrogated nn- dor tho tmpression that something rathor out of the usual line of ovouts would occur, and they hnd not long to wait bofors their cutfosity was to a degroo matisflod. Yot it was oply to n cortain oxtent, and it {s quito po=sivle that oxpressions of pro- fanity and disgust escaped somo of the visitors whon tho Grand Jury filed in and roturned & dozen or to ndictments, which were Immodiatoly put under the proipeting arm of District-Attor- uoy Bangs, and ecarriod by that gentleman down inte the socond story. It woa sad, indeed, but there seemed no help forit, Mr, BDaugs kept the documents for somo timo, snd marched around the bullding with them, golug into Marshal Campbel’s offico and Commesioner IToyuo's oftico, presumably for tho purpose of starting out the Duputy Marsbals nod for investigatin: tho oriminal charges agalust gome of tho parties involyed 10 tho smallor cases, Tha prosumption proved to lis correes, Abont 12 o'cluck Mr. Bangs roturnad five of tho iudictinonts into.Court, but the re- maining ones ho kept o his ofiice, under- lock and key, during tho rest of tha duy. TETTY CABES, The five indictments wore sgainst Aon Mure vhy, Charles Zaap, Alartin Kesslor, J.

Ollver Edsrards pro- eumed {0 carry on tle busluess of a wholesulo tobacco dealer without paying the special tax, usnd Comunssionor Ioyuo concluded to hold him in €500 bail to await tho action of the Grand Jury, Tho jury, baving duly considered his caso, returned an indictment againat him sub- stantiatly charging him with the above offouse and recommending his cass to tho cunsidoration of the District Court. As all the partios are out on bail, no steps wero takon to arrost thom and luve uew bail given, They are nearly sl of them iu rather humble cir- oumatapces, and It is not. probable that thiey have etther the dispositivn nor the op- poitumty to oscape. ‘The uoxt atep in the renorter's investigations wau Lo ascortatu agatust whom THE OTUER INDIOTMENTS, ¢ po carsfully guarded, were found, aud, althoagh rumor Lind settled tho caso somo days g0, it way desirable to hrve tho corrootuess of the rumor ventied it possible.

Mz, Bangs aid that it waa tho object of the Grand Jury to prosont uo indictments upon which they were not roasonably sure of a couviction, and the con- cluslon waa therefors ovident in the presant caeo. No hoarsav testimony had boen rogarded, but the Grand Jurors had investigatod thie facts snd tho documonts, and their [nvestigations 1iad baen conductod with care, and without any- thing of judecent tate. The matter of politics, euid Mr, Bangd, bad not for one moment en- tered Into the question. It was simoly au in. vestigation 1uto the casos of the ludicted par- ties with roforonoo to thwir connection with whieky wmutters, and that wlone. Upun that questicn the indictmonls had heen found, aud on it the defondants would stand or fall. The (rand Jurors are busy workiug onthe cases of the second batch, and it s known that indlctmonts against certain houses are already Loing drawn up, and that they will proballv be 1eturned into court in & dav or two. Rumor has it that the uoxt blow will fall upon the lirmy of Dicuinyon, Abel & Co., Heeloy & Kerwin, and perliaps one or t-vo othars, ———— THE GRAND JURY. STATE OF THE MARRET. The quctativns of whiskv at the Custom- Hounse yesterday wore cousiderably lower thau usual, aud thare was much excitemont at times, owmng to lorge offerings by leading operators, Advices from the Grand Jury room wero con- flicting In the early part of the day, but lator it was defiuitely sottled that Indictneuts were to bo roturned, and thero was a consoquent docline in the minds of all tho distillers who wore 11 at- tondance, Newa was easier, being generally quoted lawer, poth for present and future de- livery, with a falr buenesa doing in tho latter, Caugers wore very dall, sud little bettor than vominal, Revenus ofticers woro sotive and irregular, being rather weak on the wholo, but averaging bLigher than the pruvious sce- slon. Ring men, parsicularly Heslngand Itelim, were unusuatly sotive, with more excitement in tho market than had beon witnessed for a month previously, There was s docided turn downe warde in publio opinion of them, but it was amall in extent compared to what was expocted by 1nany roportorw, 1 way, in fact, A 1IVELY DAY, 80 far as covoerns rosulls. From the aotlon of the Grand Jury in spending the whole of Tues~ dsy in readiog ovor the iudiotments that bad been docided upon, {t was evident that some of tho doouments would scon be returned into court, Consequonily, yeatorday morning tue corridors of {ho Government building were turonged st an esrly bour with persons in- torosted in the progress of the whwky fraud investigation. Distillers, reporters, lawyers, and rovenuo oficials wero thete, on the qui vive to learn tho Iatost dovelopmonts. Places on tho ralling woro secured with difficulty after 10 o'clock, Lhore being no reserved scats, Among tho crowd mnight bo discovared tho snxious faces of dintillers Willlsm Coopor, Dr. Tush, Mr. Pablman, Gholson G, Russell, Parker R. }Mason, and Daulel Iloliand. Among tho altorneys wero Loonard Swett and Sidnoy 8mith, wuo held somewkal aloof aud conversod ia low tones, glving vent to a kind of diabolical chucklo at times. As to tho roporters, they csmo fully undor the olassical description **too nuwirous tn mention,” At about 10 o'clock the Grand Jury went into their customary necrot aseaion, leaving the dark- haired scion of a warlike clan to guard tho en- tranco, Mr. Wirt Dextor wan on Laud protptly, and entered upon his dsily duticawith bia wonted cheerfuluces of demoanor. Hhortly after tho boginning of the seesion Dietrict-Attorney Bangs made his appearanco, siaggoring unider the woight of an arnful of logal documouts.” The rdpor closed bohind him 11 8 manner suitablo to hin namo, and ha was Jost to the might of the wagor watchors outside. Aftor Mr. Langs'atr- rival tho Jury took up TIIE INDICTMENTS in their order and procecded to put the fluishing touches to thoso really great works of art. Thoy wero thus engagod for abouban bour, whon Mr. Dexter declured thnt enough had been guno through with to make a respoctabls showing in the court, Accordingly, under hie direction, tho jurors took up thoir line of march for the District Court room. Aftor having gotten rid_of their indictments the Grand Jury returned to (heir room aud began the examipation of witucsses. Thoeo queationed wore W. B. Golson, Staniey Huntley, Guy Magoo, aud Parker R, Masau, OALSEN. was under the thumb-scrow for over an hoar, wlalo tho others bnd not longer thau tou or {ifteon-minuts interviows with tho Graugers. An efort to soo Mr, Golson at hia residenco 1a8t evoning, in tho hope of oltawiug from himn by dint of questions and cross-quostions #ome- thingu regard to Lus tontimony, proved uuavail- fog. It wen supposod that he bhad continued bis story_sbous thint check-book, his traursctions with F, 0. Boyd & Co., as well oy his trausac- tlons withs distillors aud roctiflers Lere, but in- formation was rougit from tho gontiemau bim- nelf as corroborative of that which tho roportor nlready bad upon thoso pommts, Thoe sooker after nowe faded to find Mr. Golren ab home, aud the female Bcrvant who answois the door-bell could uot grive hi any satisfa:tion 08 to when bo might retarn, Enough bhay beou wleaned fromn quite trustworthy sources, how- wver, (0 enablo tho writer to preseut a protly 1air repurt of tho substanco of Mr. Golson's tes- Limony. Upun taking the atand tho witneas was invited toanswor some iuterrogatories in relerenco to lits doalings with tho houso of ¥ 0.

Thoso papors, to the nutaber of thirty or forty, weio shown tho jury, and produced considerable effoct on thoit wiuds.
