Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Nzw Yong, May 10.—The Grand Jury, which, a8 telegraphed you some days since, has been hearing testimony tending to implicate New York llquor-dealers {n fraudson the revenue, made its presentment to the Court to-day. The result s that the membersof six leading whisky firms fu tho city bavo been arrested, and war- rants are {ssucd for fifteen others. This move- ment on the part of the Government Is the sequel to Assistant District Attorney Sherman's {nvestigations in the West and elsewhere, which have been in progress for more than a year past. Frauds on the revenue here have been carried on for three or four ycars, and have been well known to the authorities in New York, but so strong was the ring fn all its operations that all attempts to . METE OQUT JUSTICE TO THE GUILTY were abandoned. During this time 1t is estl- mated that from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 gallons of crooked whisky have been sold {n this market. Bluce the breakivg of the Western combination Mr, Sherman has been dlligently prosceuting his scarch for proofs sgainst New York flrms with better success, Important witnesses were secured in Western distlllers and dealers, and eyldence of an overwhelming character has been adduced to show the %;ullv.y comaplicity of many New York houses with tho riuge in’ 8t. Louls, Milwaukee, and elsewhere. he slx lquor- dealers who were arrested to-day were brought befors Commisaloner Shiclds, and ‘widmiticd to bail {n sums varying from $10, 000 to $20, 000, The followlug ure THE PERSONS ARRESTED: F.

Boyd ia indicted on twenty-six counts, Hill on sixteen, Boury on twenty-five, Millor on ten, and Autlwoy on clght. These counta are on almost a8 many kinds of allezed frands us those connected with' the Western Rings, For the most part_those arrested declined to make any statement in detall, All psscrted that they hod only bought whisky ‘which wuas duly stampied in accordance with the re« quirements of law, and HAD NOT INTENIONALLY VIOLATED ANY LAW. Meaars. Doury. and Bozd rald that It was proba- Dble that the whisky recclved in somo fustances by thess firms had not pald the proper tax, but they had never bought uny which was not stamped, and they had no means of lstingaishing between tho Iawful and crookedarticle, If thero was any fraud, it bad been perptmted at tho diatils Jerles in afiixing tho atamps, They clalm thet the stamp fs to be accepied ns a guarantes that tho tax hos been puid, and that thoy are justified in purchasing In open market any duty stamped goods without inqulring in regard to thelegitimate manufacture. 11 other indicted firms make In substince the same atatement. ‘The Government ofliclals clalm to huve evidence to show that the New York consignees of the rings in 8t.

It i charged that a erfect understanding existed between the Now ork firms, and that to facilitate their buslness and avold susplclon, illiclt consignments Intended for ong firm would be sent to another, Assistant District-Attorney Sherman eald to-day lll‘nfinnt:nm hiad been presented o the Grand Jury withou AMPLE EVIDENCE TO SECURE CONVICTION, o sald thet the real root of the Whisky Ring waa in thia clt& and that Western manufacturera of filtelt apfrlta could not have carricd om tho business without the old of the Now York Ring in getting rld of thelr goods. Ho belloved that the real offenders had Dbeen resched, The mothod by whichtho comblua- tlon in this city carrled on ita tranuactions will not be fully developed unt!l the trial of (he cases now pending, but they are sald to have been re- duced to ¢ fne mystém. Among sther facts It will bo shown that the New York consignors were accustomed 1o take dvantage of thelr knowledge of the guilt of Weatern distillers to UNMBHCIFULLY SIAVE TIEM in settling accounts Ly what {s termed cutting on the glu[&s‘ the Gauger, im colluslon with the buyer In New York roporting short measuremnents, aud the distiller not darlog te cotaplain, Unless some of those dealers against whom Indictmenta have been found and who have not been arrested leave the city, they will proba- bly be brought before the Commlssfoner to-mor- row, Tho trials of theso casea will begin st the Juno term of the United States Circult Court. MILWAUKEE, J0NAS, GOLDBERG, AND CROSBTY, . Hpectal Dispatch (o The Tribuns, MiILWAUKEE, May 10.—In the Jonas case, this morning, the prosecution completed the read- Ing of the correspondence that hud passed be- tweon the defendants and the Mllwaukee wmen.

It was expected that a formal demand would be made by the Hon.

Among the early visitors were Hildreth, Ryan, White, Cameron, Jamleson, Btout, Lengacher, Corco- ran, and others, who were sume time ago known to fame, but are now burled in political graves, They eame to condole with Harvey the Firat, and suggest plans and devices whereby he might be enabled to defeat the whll of thepeople and defy decency. About 10 o'clock the sol-disant Mayor tapped gently on the door of the Mayoral den, in which were secreted two or three of his henchmen, who had slept there all night, fearful that en attompt might be made by some of the sup- porters of the legal Mayor to obtain possesafon.

About 2 o'clock MR. HOYNE RETURNED, and proceeded with rapld stride to the office of ClAy-Rubrney Tuthill, which he_entered. A brief conference took place’between tho two gentlemen; the door wus openied, snd the twaln proceeded to the ofilce occupied by Colvin, A burly policeinan bhad been placed nn%:mrd ou the outslle, osten- sibly to keep the great unwashed from crowdlng Into the sanctom.

HEADB OF DEPARTMENTS., THE CITY ATTORKEY, A Tninuxm reporter took amother walk among the heads of departments yesterday to ;hc,cflflln under which bauner they proposcd to gt City-Attorney Tuthill could not recognize Colvin, as he wus no longer Mayor. The legal Chief Magistrate Is Mr, Hoyne, and to him only would the Legal Department give alleglance. Deputy City-Treasurer Brenan thought it mado no difference to his Department, He would pay morney ou all checks regularly drawn through the Comptroller's Departient, City-Collector Von Hollen was for Colvin, first, lost, and for all time, ke could recognize no one else as Mayor. PRESIDENT PRINDIVILLE, of the Board of Public Works, lias "received no officlal notica on the subject. ' 1t made no dif- ference who was Mayor, us no contracts would DLe let this season. Ax faras paying the employes of the Board Is concerned, It matlers not who is 3Magyor, so lung as they get thelr money. CITY MARSHALL GOODELL. was interviewed dnrln§ the day by Perry 11, Smith and J. I Doolittle, Jr., who rcasoncd with him on the folly of his mlnlpulnunqr(he police force in the Interest of the usurper. o 8 Tmuxe re- porter he stated Iate in the afternoon thut he re. celved the City Counctl order, and the Mayor'a note, Forgthe time belog e was recognizing” Colvin an Mayor, but his opinion might change to-day, ile waa doing businces subject to fluctuntionsIn tho market, an the wholesale grocers would say. He hoped, however, that the police would not he drawn Into the matter. ‘They had enough to do at tlie present i profersing e peace In the lumber and brickmaking districts, and ho wanted no riots dowa town. PIRE-MARSHAL BESNER £ald that if there waa o fire hie would try to have it put out, no matter who was Mayor. During the t:ll ear he had recelved but one order from Mayor Colvin, and be did not think that there would be sny necessity for either of the Moyora to make any demanda upon bim 0 a8 to Implicste his depart- ment tn the aquabble. An Lo the puul‘:illlr of his ‘being called upon tv use the firemen for policemen, he was not prepared to cxpress au opin{on. To aacertain the situation as regarded THE BOARD OF EDUCATION a reporter yesterday called on Mr. John C. Rich- berg, President of that body, and propounded o series of qnestlons, which were Ingenlously enough parried by the President. The actual information obtained inay be summed up as folloy: Mr, Richberg had received as President of the Bourd copien of the documents [ssued by the Coun- cil and Mr. Colyin: he had ot taken sny action anent them and dido't propose to at present; they would be lald before the Boord at ita regolar meet- ing l-‘xhlnz evening ond then some expression would probably be had; 3r. Richberg did not know what the members of the Board thouvht on the pubject or how they would vote; he had not con- versed with them on the subject; as far ue he him- eclf was concerned he had made ita &Hnnlplc not 10 Announce beforehand what would te the dispo- sitlon of sny matter to be considered by the DBoord, As faras the Boord of Education was cone cerned, {ts routine business did not call ou itto know any Mayor at all; its bualneas was done with the City’ Couuell, and Ita_communications were Bent to the City Clerk for that body; alf other busi- neas was dono with the City Treasurer, on whom the Board drow warrants; it was quite posaible for the Board to carry on {ta routine business for some time without kuowing who was Mayor; it was a separate ranch af the City Government, coustl- tuted by act of Leglalatare, ond not dependent on ‘There is a stron wiil take the police cither the new or old charters for its powers., A further attempt to cross-exumine the cross- exnminor was more or less unsuccessfal, and the roporter departed, convinced that Mr. Richberg would vote one way or the other when the case came up, but that be did not mean to be prema. lurz in’ Indicating which way his vote would be cos MAYOR HOYNE. 1tE WILL PRESIDE. ‘Whatever may be done in this perplexing mat- ter of the Mayorolty, it Is evident that the peace party {s the one which backs Thomas Hoyne, while the revolutionary party adheres to the fulllng fortunes of H. D. Colvin. Thiswasclear from the proceedings of the last two Councll mectings, and the statement of Mr, Hoyne toa TRIDUNE reporter yesterday only confiring the truth of the assertion. Hesald that the honor of the city must not be degraded by the com- missfon of any violence. He was already in possession of the City Clerk's offlee, and the City Clerk aud the City At- torney would certainly act with him. It wna his {ntention to sce how far tha Police and the Board of Public Works were going to act with him. He was dofng everything be could, in & personal way, with a view to bringing things around without any personal violence, or a personal struggle, a riot, or a rencounter in the City Counch, Mr. Colvin probably would fn- trude himself upon the Council at their meet- ing to-day, and the Council ought to be pro- tected by the police aguinst any such futrusion, for theg biad recognized another presidiog ol cer and the new Mayor wos a member of the Council by sutborlty of his election. Mr. Hoyne #nid he should go to the Councfl meeting to-dny, Mr, Colrin might call on the police to arrest iy, but ko thought the police would obey & two-thirds majority of the Clty Councll, and the majority was slready pronounced fn favor of the newly- elected Mayor. 1N REFERENCE TO COLVIN’S PROVOSITION 1o submit the case to the Courts, Mr. Hoyne eaid that if he waa in earnest about this thing, ‘and the matter should be submitted so that the righte of both sides should e properly prescated with the real guuuom ot fasue, he'did not tnink there would ba any dificulty or any objection to going Intothe Courts. Mf, Hoyne did not aec crtain the position _of ' the_ Policc Department or the Board of Poblic Works, however, being busily occupled with other matters at the Clty Clerk's, and at his own, office. In the afternoon he wan cloacted in his private offlce for some time with Comptroller Hays, The result of the Confer. ence was to vettle Mr, Hoyne fn the bellef that the matter conld be disposed of In some way that would prove satlsfactory to Loth sides. Mr, Hayes, 83 the financlal man of the city, wus anxious to preserve harmony here, and maintain_the honor and credit of thecity ot all hazards. To this end he Lhull;hl ad o plan for the amicablo avttle- ment of the dificuity. The confervuce was not conclusive, but merely paved the way for others of a llke nutare, reserving the particulars of his plan until more jmatored. A Mr. Xoyne undesstood the matter, bowever, it proposed some conceeslons on both sides, but what they were he was unable to state for the reason that Lie did not kuow himself, Exactly what the next move may be it {u difticult to foretell, but it s clear that the peace policy iu to be tried until it shall have proved either a succesw or a fallure. In the latter case it {s atil) mare ditli- calt to Fred(:uun what will take pluce, although it ia quito wafe to assume that the two-thirds ma- jority in the Councll will maintain the position they ave already taken, whethor the rusult be peace or war. the Comptroller AN AGREED CASE. ‘Thete has been somie talk about submitting an agreed case to the Supreme or Ciscuil Court,* but #o0 far it hos taken no detinite sbape, It fa pos- #iblo that an agreed case beforo the Bu- preme Court might ogain resolt in & tic, Hence whatever Is done, nu proposition to submit the question to the Supreme Court wotld be uccepted by the frionds of Msyor Hoyne. The way in which the matter 1oight arise would be in a sult Lrought agalnst the City Treasurer by the holder of & wir- runt signed by Cotvin fur o writ of mandamus to compel the payment of the warmnt. Such a suit would test the gueation of the Mayoralty, and If the adhereats of Mr, Colvin should proposc to submit an agreed case on it to cither the Superior or Cir- cuit Court, it ia not improbable that the friends of Mayor Hoyns would unjte with that gentleman and aires 1o tho proposal, 1n this case th holder of the warrant woald be lh!&lnlnul and the Cit; Treasurer the defendant, 1t belng understood an agreed that the result wonld determine the right of 3. Hoyne to the Mayoralty orthe right of Mr, Colvin to bold over until April, 1877, As before tated, this has almply l%cen talkked of and mo actual to proposition this effect has been made. llu P:Iew of Comptroller u.{ur call on Mayar Hoyne yesterday, it may not be Improbable tuat this u the plan that gentieman hed in view. Whether it was or was not, & few days ut losat will determine, WIIAT THE BANKERS SAY. GEN. HAMMOND, A TRIBUNR reporter visited various banks yes- terday to learn the views of thelr ofiicers o the crists and its effect on the clty credit. Gen, Hammond, of the City Suvings Bauk, says his preference s for Mayor Hoyne. As lovg as thero {s an unscttled condition of affatrs in the City Qovernment, it will be flnancially dis- astrous to the city. Thero will be ditticulty in ralslug moncy from taxation or on credit. The City Bank does uot deal in the city secu- ritles, €xcept on orders from custowvrs, but Gen. Hanmond thinks tho valug of the socurities will bo affected unfavorably as loug 83 ther {s nua contiict. As for Colvin, the Gen- eral thioks his term bas expired, and is strongly fu favor of Mayor Hoyue's assuming the fuus tlona of the otfice, because biv was unanimously elscted, aud it will not do to disregard such an expreasion of public vpiuion, MB. W, J. UALLER, e Cashior of the derman American Bavings, is {n favor of Colviy, as he thiuks the election of Hoyue was Wegals Ho thinks Colvinund Huyes have improved the eredit of the city, which ml%hl puasthly be impatred by the fnstallation of Mr. Hogne. As to the peopls who voted for Mr.® Hoyhe, Mr. =~ Ialler thinks they didn't know t(my wore voting raulll;‘?{. a<noman was pud tp in opposition to him. 3 city certificates have sold well nnder Colsin, ana 3r. Nailer thinks be should remain in office. * Tha bank will take the certificates orhanda of the city ander Colvin's Administration, but Mr. Haller can't at present eay if the bank would coatinue such & courae under 3r.

JONN C. HAINES, Presldent of the Fidelity Savinga, hns been absent fur two munths, and has just returned to the city, 2nd liss ot been fully posted o tothe proceedinga: but he thinks the prescnt aspect decidedly had for the credit of the city, We now have'two men claiming the same oftice, and the conflict of author- ity will tnilitate ngainat the fasue of auy obligations thiat moneyed men would take. Te deems it de- sirable to "ave the l'lne!llnn scttled ae s00n an pos. sible. He thinks that the fraudulent manner In which the charter of 1872 waa forced upon the city hae led to a1l the difficalty, and ho haow stil] stronis hopen that the’ courts may decldo the passage o that charter noll and vold. M. GEOROE BTUROES, President of the Northwestern Natlonal, thinka it the Council, with jta present views, think it hest, they can ralse all the money they want, because they have the confidence of the peuple. Colvin ehould get out or e ignored, and Hoyne put iu his place withont delny. The majority of the Council, composed s it is, should not recognize as o valuable element the persons who have pinced themeclves on record as sustaining Colvin'in his nsurpation, In other words, Colvin must submit to the expressed will of the people, witldraw from thle disgraceful contest, and allow the Government of the cily to go on pelclmhl{. 1f that reepected mojorlly of the Councll who represent the peoplo want anything, they can get it. The creditof thiscity bas improved wonder- fully alres under the hew Council, and its de- termined ctlon, and he believes that the general value of all prn‘mflh particularly of taxable real and peronal estate, in Chicago has appre- clated fram 20 to 25 ! cr cent since the actlon of the South Town Board In bouncing Phillips, Evans, and the reat of the bummers. In all probability bankers abroad will walt for developinenta before purchasing our sccurities, because they do not now appreciate the value of the Inte reform aa Chicago does, ‘The general feel- {ng sppears to be that all merchants, manufac- turers, business-men, and all persone engaged in enterprison of value, have begun to take heart and cournge, and are full of hiope for the future. Ml BOL A. 8MITH, of the Merchanta' Loan ond Trust Unmanny. Is of the opinion that the trouble will make but little dlfference In the credit of the city. The Council have declared Mr. Hoyne Mayor, and he khould be &0 recognlzed, and that settlcs the whole dificulty, MR. NICKERSON, Trestdent of the First Natlonal Bank, eays that until the anatter s seitled the certificates will not be negotiable for mioney, though parties having claims againat the city may take them in poyment and scll them for the bewt prices they cun wet. The csedit of the city will neces. earfly euffer until she dificaity s arrangud. MR. J, IRVING FEARCE, of the Third Natlonal, says the city {a fna muddle ust notv, and untll matters are seitled nothlug can done.” Hisopinion la that the voices of 34, 600 voters should have some weight, and they eay Mr. Hoyne s entitled to the ofice of Muyor, At ‘presentsthe city secarities must be a druy on the morket, and wifl rewnin so until there is some deflnite adjustment of the contest. Mr. Pearce alau dikclolina any personal feeling antagonlstic to Mr. Colvin, but he thinks Colvin should reapect the cfl)fl:nfled wishes of the people, and not throw obstacles fu the way of the city's advantage, MR. JOSEPH RUTTER, Preeident of the Traders', says ns Jong as there fa o conflict of authority there can be no question that damuge will accrue to the city credit. There will be no one suthorized to sign certificates, nnd if they are elgned by Colvin there will be a question ns to thelr legality. He does not think the Clty Treaaurer would be “justified In tak- iog the mupanllbflil‘ of paylng out much money for which he is liuble nntil he knows wio Las o right to slpn warrants, He eannot take orders from twao different people. Mr, Rutter does not think that either Mayor Hoyne or Colvin s desirous of dolng anything to prejudice the Intercsts of the city, 1 Colvin haa proper legal advice that he fs centitled to the oftice 1t {s his duty to hold on un- til the Conrt decides who is entitled to i¢, LADIES' UNDERCLOTHING CARSON, PIRIE & (0, Madison & Peoria-sts.
