Upon an agreement thal o nolle pros. should be en- tered ns to the charge of conspiracy,—which, nccording to Col. Dyrn, conld not he sus- tained beforo o jury,—Maouinz yesterday put in a plen of gnilty to tho other counts in the indictment, thereby confessing his negli- genco and dercliction as a Governmont offi- cer in failing to report irreguluritics upon the part of certain distillers. It would appear that Miovme is expected to make roparation by ocontributing valuable testimony in tho cases yot to be tried Judge Bropaerr appears to have an ade. quate coneoption of the necessity for prompt- ness and expedition in, denling with the large number of whisky-fraud cases which are to come up for trinl beforo him. At the rate of delay involved in tho numerous applications for time by the small army of Inwyers en- goged to defend the indioted parties, the granting of theso applications would drag nlong the whisky trinls for n year or more. The constitutional Loon of n speedy trial teems to bo lightly valued by most of the defendants; on the contrary, thero is mani- fested o disposition to mnove with extrome de- liberation. Alotions to qunsh the indictments will bo the order of things, and Judgo Brop- arrr has required the partics to comoe into court on Thursday of this weck. The oxistence of o Wino Ring ia likely to bo established ns thae result of the Cougres. sional investigation now in progress by dIr Bromxaen's Committeo on Expenditures of tho State Department. The tostimony of Alr, Fannery, former Cowsul ot Ondlz, is to the effect that the winomerchants of that city pecured his removal boeauso of his refusal to hecome a party to a system of undorvaluation of sherry wine for exportation to the United Btates ; and that the Ring brought about the appointment of n successor at the Cadiz Con- gulato whoso non-intorference with the wun.. dervaluation of invoices rendered him far more popular with the wino exporters. It is nsserted that the “crooked” whisky frauds have been insignificant in amouut in compar- json with the loss to the revenue through At Indisnapolls yesterday sentenco wns passed by Judge Guesuaw, of tho United States Court, upon a batch of whisky-ring- sters, who were given terms of imprisonment ranging from three years down to six months, with fines similarly graded. Socmo of tho convicted officials invoked judicial leniency ou the scoro of previous services as soldiers ju the Union army, but the Court, so far from discovering aby extenuating eircum. stances in this fact, took the ground that the crimes were aggravated instead, as the of- fenders wero paid by tho Government to de- tect the frauds in which they participated,— to prevent that which thoy had abetted and encouraged. Tho convicted Bupervisor, though asseverating his innocence to the last, was pronounced the guiltiest of tho lot, and reeeived the heaviest penalty. ‘Tho Chicago produce markets were ner- vous yesterday.

Yestordny Judges Witnians, Moore, and Fanween rendered a joint decision in the eases of tho nowspaper oftices which hud ap- plied to have the collection of porsonal taxes retnined by injunction. The Court over- ruled the npplication. We publish the pro- ceedings this morning, Judge Wirtrays de- livered the general opinion of the three Judges. ‘Tho Court found that all tho points raised by the complainnuts had been henrd and decided advorsely by decisions of tho Su- premo Conrt of Illinois. Tko general rule 1aid down by tho Supreme Court was that o court of equity will not enjoin the collection of taxes oxcopt in cases of fraud in the asscssment, or where the property taxed is not subject to tazalion, or whero the tax levied s itself il- legal and void. Nono of theso conditions existing in these cnses, thero could be no in- terforenco by a court of equity. i T'he Court reviewed all tho allegations of want of uniformity, excessivo valuation, tho rednetion of certain and the increaso of other valuations, ns compared with provious years ; the nssessment of certain property at half its cash value, and of other property at o very small fraction of its real value, the want of notices by the Assessors, otc., and ruled that theso objections were to irregularities moro or lessincidental to the system of taxation by valuation, had always prevailed, and furs nished no warrant for the interferenco of & court of cquity. 3 Tho questions pertaining to the powers of the Board of Equalization had been in like manner determinoed by the Suprome Court, Within their nuthority, the action of that Board was finnl and conclusive. The power of tho Common Council to cer- tify to the County Clerk tho nmount that the city required to be raised by taxation was held by the Court to be amplo, and to have been proporly exercised. Even in cases where the tax levied was illogal, equity courts would nol restrain its colloction, unless speeinl and irreparable injury waos shown, In all these eases no such injury wes anticipated. 'Tho partics fecling thomselves nggrieved had their remedy at law of suils against the city and county for the recovery of monoys illogally collected. To nllow persons to delay paying taxes when thoy have a romedy atlaw would be to doprive the Government of the revenuo needed for its operations, The substance of this opinion iy that an nssessment onco completed, no matter Low irregular, unjust, discriminating, and op- pressive, is binding upon the person nssessed, who has no means of arresting tho collection of tho tax, but mast have reconrso tonn action at law to recover from tho Govern- ment the money illegally collected of him. If this is the law, and wo suppose it must be aceepted, then it places every man owning property at the morcy of the Tax Assessors, and tax-lovying Bonrds, whoso asscasments ara finalities. ‘fhe importance of attending to the appointment of competent persons for theso oftices becomes obvious, THE CONVICTION OF M'KEE, The verdiet of *guilty” in tho criminnl prosccution against Wiruian McKee, of St. Louis, for conspiring to defraud the United States rovenue, was recotved with amazement n St. Louis aud considerable surprise elso~ whero, "Tliero scomed to bo o general expoc- tation that hio would be noquitted. 'I'his ex- pectation was based rather npon externnl and undefined sentiment than upon tho evidence, Tivery man was natarally disinclined to be- lieve that aun old and respected citizen, enjoy- ing perdonal wealth and a conspicuous posi- tion in tho business, socinl, and political community, had deliberatoly allicd himsolf with na batch of scoundrels to cheat the Gova crnmont, This feeling wns stronger and more gencral, of courss, in St, Louis than clsewhere, beenuso it waa MoKer's lome, whero he had lived over thirty years and been generally liked and respect. ed. It recoived somo eucouragement, too, from tho fact that there was some contradic- tion nmong the witnesses on minor imatters, which it was thenght would induce the jury 1o construo it in tho most favorable light for the defenso, The Court, inits Instructions, gavo the jury full warrant for such a course, nnd pointed ont unmistakebly that it wns their provinee to determine for themsolves the value of the evidence, keoping in mind that the credibility of witnesses who wero them- selves conspirators ogainst tho Government must bo sustained by a conviction of pure motives and corroborating circumstances, Though the {nstructions of the Court gave ilie jury smplo opportunity to bring in a ver. dict of mequittal if thero was tho slightest doubit of guilt, tho result proves that no such doubt was entertained in the face of tho tes- timony beforo them. In lo&king back over McKee's trial, it is evident that ull tho ercumetances surround- ing it were favorabla to his acquittal i ho had been au junocent man. 1lo hind the sympothy of the 5t. Louis peoplo. 1lv hind high social standing, o was personully very respectablo and influential. Ho com. wonded the assistanco of tho ablest counsel to bwobtained. ‘T'he testimony sgainst bim cawe from men who hud beon engaged them- selves in dofrauding the Government in con- nection with tho manufacture of whisky, Ile received the benefit of overy doubt and every minor disagrooment botwaen tho Government witnesses. In spite of all this, McKer conld not vindieats himself from tha dircct evi- denco of his idontification with the Ring. Hero was the weak point in his cnse,—the absenco of a confident, straightforward, out- spoken, and convincing defonss. Hoveral members of the Ring—Meanue, CoNoAX- ~oy, Frrznor, ENoenxs, Tnonep—testified to the consultntions with MoKer, to tho putting aside of his shara of the Ring monoy, to tho datk and mys- terfons interviows, to tho back stairways and Aceret meetings. Tlero wns Mr. McKee's opportunily to establish his innocence, if ho biad beon an innocent man. If Lo had nover in nny way been implicated in tha whisky frauds, he conld have run down this circum- stantinl testimony and cxposed fts falsity. o could have shown that ho was not a party to nuy of theso mysterious and crooked wnys. 1fo could hnve produced his business books and his privato nccounts, conld have shown his recoipts from all sources and expenditures for all purposes, and could havo demonstrated to tho satisfaction of any jury that ho was guiltless of sl conngetion with rings or frauds of whatever fiescriplion. But he fafled to do this. Ilia counsel wero forced to content thomsolves with coercing unimportant contradictions from tho wit- nesses, and it the efort to break down their testimony by harping on the fact that thoy wero conspirators nnd swindlors, DBut this much they lhad alroady confessed, and the seathing denneiation of tho “Tall Sycamore of tho Wabash," failed to bring upon thein any contempt or diseredit which they had not al- rendy enrned, ‘Their evidenco wos not con- tested in any essential motters, and the jury were forced to a conviction of Mr. MoKee's guilt, The verdict in the McKee case suggests re- flections that must bo brought home to men in this and other cities who know in their own hoarts that thoy aro guilty of similar charges that hinve been brought against them. 1t is n notico tht the sympathy of looso city morals does does not influenco the jury of conuntrymen that are gathered together by the United States Courts, and that local prossuro does not count for so much in theso trials as usual. Thedemoralizationof businesscustoms which betrayod n mau of large means and ligh position like McKer into a Ring for chenting the Government docs not extond to the counutry distriets, and rural jurors do not listen to evidence in these cnses under n per- The banks aro now overy week redncing tho smount of their ciroulating notes heeauso of the Inck of profit on cirenlation affordod by presont restrictions, and this reduction would go on nt a atill moro rpid rate if it were not for the advantage obtained by the cortainty of n partial investmont of their cap- ital in United States sccuritics. It nffords a protoction against loss for o mitch of their capital, and this alono induces many of them to retain a part or all of thoir eiroulation. But whon tho tima comes when the banks must redeom their notes in gold on a con- tracted currency mnarket, and furnish import- ors and hoardors oll they need or waat, thoy will rather contrnct than enlarge the voluine of their circulating notes, and tho enforco- ment of tho Resumption not without any fur- ther preparation or inducoment to the bankn to keep out their notes will amount to tho withdrawal of nearly the whelo volume of corrency suddenly, It ean seareely fail to give tho business community a shock, and this is what i drended. If Congress will go nmend the act nsto provido for o provious repeal of tho Legal- Tender nct a8 to nll futuro linbilities and o retontion ns to dobts contracted prior toa certain date, so that debtors may discharge their presont linbilitics oa the same basis on which they woro contracted, and also nmend tho Bankrupt act 20 ns to make it to the in- torest of tho banks to issue gold notes, tho rosumption clause may bo retained without dnngor and with possiblo benefit, but other- +wiso it should nnquostionably be repenled. “QUEEE REFORMERS,” Tho regular Washington correspondent of the Now York T'ribune, undor the caption of 4/Queer Reformers," writes to that paper as follows: Whilo the Democrats o the Honse aro engaged in the work of economy and retrenchmont, there aro somo among them who would seem to bo somewhat eccentrio in thelr filess. Duriog the past few daya sovaral of the Democratic mombers of the Houss hava approached cortain Democratic Benators wiih a novel proposition. They argued thot the country would <closely scan tho actions and measurea of the louso be- canso 1t 18 Demoeraiic, and that litilo attention would o paid to the Honate, sud that, tnasmiich as tho Houss Lad staried on & retrenchment platform, it would bo fotsl to sbandon it. It wsa thcro- fore propossd by theeo members {hat they woull sdvocate & reduction of the pay of Cungressmen, and xecuro tho pyasageof an act (hrough ho House reducing t to§4,000 a year,—tho undor- standing thoy desired to have with the Benstors being that they wonld ki1l the roduction in tho Sensto and thus retain the presont salary, The fsct wonld then, 28 tho members arguad, go to tho world that & Demo- cratlo Honse passod tho teduction bill, but that a Re- publican Senate had refused to coneur, The Senntors epoken to advised against tho action unlesa {t was sln- cero, for tho reason that they would not ngrea to such an arrsugement, but that if the bill camo frow tho Touso ft might go through the Scnate, Tho membera then fald that they had Letter leave the ¢uestion of thetf own pay oa it is, The statemont of tho Zribune's corre- spondent iy undoubtedly correct, ns it exactly tallies with the whole spirit of Democratio sonal bins that money-making is suflicient provocation to excuso n resort to bribery and conspirncy in ordor to share tho spoils of an illicit traffie. Mr. McKze violated no officinl oath, but he violated n law of the land all the ramo, nnd disregarded the honorable motives that onght to guide overy business man, whother defined by statute or not. United States jaries, as n mule, aro not made up of men who think it no harm to cheat the retrenchment and reform sinco the organiza- tion of tha present Congress. It is of the snme class of rotrenchment that would humilinte our Ministers snd pinch our al- rendy starveling Consuls in order to raixe money for the improvement of lands belong- ing to Southern apeculators along tho baunks of tho Mississippi, and that would cripplo the usefulness of West Point in order to raise monoy to meet the demands of ex-Confodor- ntes for damnges incurred in the war which they precipitated upon the country. If this bill is introduced and possed in the House, it should be promptly passed in tho Senato and promptly signedby tho President. It is timo that this bogus Democratic outery of reform, mode for pur- porea of politieal capital next foll, wns squolohed. Legislation this yenr monnsbusi- noss, 'There aro too many important issues at stalt, and the results of next fall'a clection aro too momentous, to warrant any waste of timo in dilly-dallying over the hypocwisy, and charlatanism, and humbug of so-called Demo- cratio reform. If tho Democrats introduco o bill in the Housoe for the reduction of aalaries, lot it promptly be mado n Inw. If this result is understood beforehnnd, it will put their sincerity to o test. If thoy want snlaries ro- duced, reduce them. If they don't want them reduced, then let, tho shallownoss of their pretended reform be exposed.

REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION ACT, Our attention is ogain drawn to tho Re- sumption act as it now stands by n strong potition to Congress which has been propared by the business men of Toledo, which asks the repeal of o much of tho act as author- izen the Socrotary of tho Trensury to disposo of United States bonds Jan, 1, 1879, in an swmount, suflicient to enable him to redeem ond retire tho legal-tender notes. The poti- tion concludes as foljows: ** Your petitioners do not favor inflation, but beliove that the enforcoment of tho resumnption clause of said act will prove disnstrous to the business of tho country.” TItis signed by soveral hun- dred of the leading citizens, ombracing the most prominent wholesale and retail mer- chants and manufacturers, and presumably without political distinctions, 'here is no doubt that this potition fairly sots forth the averago sentiment of a large class of business men in overy community, and it is based on arcasonableapprehiension of the consequences if the Governmout shall undertake to enforco the provisions of the act without any further preparation than is thorein provided, Tho act as it now stands provides for ar- bitrary resumption, puro aud simple, at o fixed date, aud the nabsoluto reliring of the whole volume of Govornmunt curroncy with.

Judgo Brapy is o petitioner whom tho Legis- Iature of Now York will be likely to heed. 1t is o pity thero is not some anthorityin this Stato potent enough to reach the Legislaturo and induco them to control this habit by somo stringent Inw. 'Imo existing municipal ordinances aro powerless to restrain it, but prome general law might be doviged that wonld regulnte it, and {hus guaranteo tho public safety from ruflions in somo slight manner, The Railrond Committeo of the Lower Touso of the Wisconsin Legislature gave a public hearing in the Assembly Hall yestor- doy. The meoting was Iargely attonded, many railrond represontatives boing present. "T'ho entire timo was occupied by the railrond men, the Hon, Avexanner MrrcueLy, of tho Northwestern Road, and J, 1L Hows, Vice- Presidont of tho West Wisconsin, being the principnl speakors. These gontlemen pre- sented facts and figures to show that under tho Potter law tho roads wero so hrmpercd by stringent rules that it was impossiblo for them to oncourago monnfactures or other in- dustries, Thoy weroe obliged to charge the full rates in overy instance in order to make their debit and credit accounts meot. Mr. Howr declared that under tho present law his rond was not able to meet its running oxponses and the nccessary repira. DBoth gontlomen spoke in favor of the bill now bo- foro tho Ausombly (recently published in T'ue Toinoxe), and claimed that under it the railronds could mako living profits, and pub- lic interests would bo botter served. It is worthy of noto that legislators lolding dif- foront viows with ono accord declined to ro- ply to the remarks of the railroad mon. The pending discussion as to tho relative merits of gns and illuminating oils gives speeinl intorest to o plan for the utilization of sowago, by employing it in the produc- tion of illuminating gas, which waa recently successfully tested in London, Tho inventor produced his gas by vaporizing oil of a very conrse nature and sewnge from o pig-pound and o cesspool, in the proportion of one pint of oil to ono gallon of sewngo, The ap- paratus used was o vory small one, capablo of producing littlo mora than 100 cubic foot per hour, The cost of producing the gas was very slight, being less thon n shilling per 1,000 feet, including every itom of expendi- ture. For an entire cxpenditure of 5 conts, the inventor prodnced 500 cubio feet of 22- candlo gas, and the Loudon papers describo the gas as of bettor quality thon that fur- nished by tho corporation. There ia no placo in the world that affords o finer field for such operations than Chicago, If stink can bo transformed into illnminating gas, the En- glish fnventor can find hero the raw matorinl in wonderful richness, both of quality and quantity. Ruskmy is onco moro putting himself in the way of progress by begging all persons who have any regard for him or his writings to sign n petition to Parliament not o allow the railroads to cross the lake country. 'Cho csthetic opposition of Ruskix to miiroads is something amusing. Hnilroads aro located without regard fo the fine erts, and, if Mr. TRusxy gots on the track with easel and paletto to stop the train going ncross tho lako country, ho must suffer tho fato of the bull who sought to Lutt the locomotive.
