OESING." . - TWO YEARS' IMPRISONMENT, : The United States Court was jammed yester- day morning with persons anxious to witness the sentencing of a number of the prominent members of the Chicago Whisky Ring. The parties most interested were early on hand, and ‘were shown into the jury-box to await the dis- pasition of the Court. They were not kept long in suspense. Judge Blodgett was preity punetual, and plunged right iuto business. As soun ss be bad taRen his seat, he decided the Cullerton case, overruling both the motion for 2 new trial and the motion for arrest. Sen- tence was deferred. After a short pause, during which the hearts of the whisky-men beat a little faster than usnal, the Court said: Iwill now proceed to pass sentence in the cases which were called be- fore me last Monday morning. The first case is No. 192, the United State against Anton C. Xes- ing. Let the defendant come forward tothe bar of the Court- There was quitc a sensation In court as Mr. Hesing stepped ot of the jury-box and took up a position in front of the bar. He looked ex- tremely dejected, and could scarce raise his eyes to look at the man who held bis fate in his hand. The Court. (continuing)—Mr. Hesing, I have already heard your counsel at length in regard 1o every point that they could suggest in miti- gation of the sentence which the law requires me to pronounce upon you. Ifaveyouany- thing further to say yourself? THE LAST PLEA. Mr. Hesing, after a painful pause, sddressed Court slowly as follows: T simply wish to state, your Honor, and which !woul(?st;\m if I was called this moment before the last day of judzment, that while I inight fave technically erred, I have not been guilty of any criminality, in my opinion. I have not taken an oath of office: X have not seduced body; I have not participated in any frauds have not assisted in the running or in the carzy- Ing on of avy distillery. T simply have been 2 stockholder in a concern where it has been roven, or acknowledged, thst they have de- vonded the Government. I might have re- ceived of those illicit, or of those fraudulent, profits of the distillery, but so help me God {with cmphasis ond _ striking his Droust with his hond), I bave mever consulted or talked with 2 man. And I do say again, as my worthy counsel has said to_you before this Court, to be as lenicut with me as you possibly can. The laws have been vindicated. Frauds, through thedfovern- ment, have been stopped. As_Chicago kuorws, 1 bave been instramental, in 1863, when Iinade the fight here against fraud and corruption in this city, and had the officers removed and honest men appointed. T have been able to re- ceive that office mysclf twice from the hands of President Grant, and cach time I have refused. Misfortune has wade me ta x}mlulpntc in the Jistillery business, in which I would not have engaged if it had not been to assist friends,— the same way which has been drawn out of my own statement by Mr. Ayer of the distillery in 1369. I say that that stock I bought in that concern in ordertolelp a fricnd that Waspoor,— Gep. Salomon, when he happened to be defeated atan clection here in_this town. Fourwecks afterwards I went to Europe and did not par- ticipate in thet distillery. Not s dishonest dollar has ever stuck to mf tingrers ‘until mis~ fortune has brought me to this trouble. And I rill Tepeat again that when men are to recelre —or T will add that if persons are to unity for baving testified,—I will hias not been brought out on any ] add that wh trial; that before T was indicted, 1 went to the oflice of J. R. Jones and oiered to furnish all hevéssary proof—not by myself, but throngh others who had informed me—against an officer who was then a Deputy Colleetor in_ this build- ing, and who now resides in Canada. Xf they had listened to me or to Mr. J. P Jones, who 101d them this f4=t, that man ought to have been arrested, and would have been arrested Jike I was arrested on New Year’s eve, and in danger of beine taken away from the bosom of _my Tamily. That man to-day is at liberty; and after me giving the information that man acted ~here us Deptity Collector for montbs and This, your Honor, is all I bave to say. I beg of you sgain, treat me as leniently as your con- seienee will permit. THE SENTENCE. The Court, wha, together with the audience, had listencd ‘attentively to his speech, then pro- ceceded to pass sentence in the following terms: A plea of guilty has been entered on two connis {n the indictment in this case. The first rount charges the defendant with having con- spired with others to defraud the Government of the Unfted States. The second count charges that the defendaut, being a dismlc;{s(hd, with the intent to defraud, remove spirfls from o distillery- Tne plea to the conspiracy count requires, or rather authorizes, a sentence by fine not to ex- and imprisomment not to exceed seed §10,000, bwo vears, Twill addno, T liope, unneceseary words on this occasion, but will s 2 m‘f)ly say thit She evidence which hias been adduced Lefore this Court satisfies my mind that Mr. Hesing was one of the original conspirators in the scheme roncocted in 1his city 1o defraud the Govern- ment. Tt is of little comsequence whetber he seduced Mr. Rehm or Mr. Rebm seduced him. They acted together. Mr. Hesing, for a serics of years, received money, paid to him which Le kniw came from distillers, and kmew they were defrauding the Government and cbtaine that money by means of fraud. It was a schieme which fnvolved ' necessarily the corruption of public oftivers, the disgraccof the public service, a5 such, X can look upon it with no degree of allowance, I was going to sdv. 1 can lool with 1 certain degree of allowance upon the acts of distillers and ¢ven of Gaugers and Storkecp- crs whose bread and the bread of their fawmilics depends upon their obeying superiors in oflice, and who Know that they must acquiesce in fraud or be removed; but it {5 not the case with 8 person who is not aa ofti- cer, who becomes a party to a conspiracy which involves public officrs in the: violation of their duty and their oath, who it scems to me stands before the Court with but a poor dlaim for miti- gation of punishment. A I have, however, in this case made'the pan- Ishment uslight as] can conscientlously make it. The sentence of the Court Is that the defend- ang Eny s fine of $5,000, and be imprisoned in the County Jail of Cook County for the term of 1350 years. The prisoner stood perfectly dumbfounded for scveral scconds after sentence had been passed. Eversoue in_ Court expected 8 pas- slonate outburst, but_he remained looking at the Judge as i£ he coutd not realize his position. It was not until the Judge directed him to take his seatthat Mr. Hesing displayed any con- sciousness of what had happeued. With a down- «wst sirhe resumed his clair next to Bullulo ‘b‘lllflm and allowed the tears to trickle down his THE DISTILLERS. ' GEORGE T. BURROUGIS. The Court quickly called out “George T. Burroughs.” The Apollo of the crooked gang stepped lightly In front of the Judge looking a trifle pale and nervous. The Court—Mr. Burroughs, you have pleaded guilty to the third and sixth counts in this case. It becomes the duty of the Court to sentence you. Before doing so Iwill ask if you have anything to add to what your counsel have already said in mitigation of your sentence 7 Mr. Burroughs—Nothing, Your Honor. Judgg Blodgett—The evidence adduced upon the various trinls that have heen held in this court, and what has been said in your behalf up- on the hearing and on the sentence day, satisties me that you were the chief active promoter of the frauds carried on in En\u’ distillery. The seutence of ~|:Im Court, thercfore, s, that you pay ufine of $3,000 and be imprisoned in ‘the Conk County Jail for a terin of one year. 00"1“:_:{‘5 ::gtunce cre:ltedt uite a I({Lle stir in mauy sympathizing eyes { Burroughs as he ety back to liis seat. e DICKENSON AND ABEL. The next victims were Orlando P. Dickenson and Jonatban Abel, who came forward on their uu{nhcs !é.:ng t:\lI}e 3 2 e Court—Have yon snything to add add whot has been said byyyour counsel 'fi mitigation of sentence? Both defendants replied in the negative. The Court—The sentence then Is ipon each of you, that you pay s fine of $1,000 and be im- prisoned it the County Juil of Cook County for the term of three months. The fine is the low- est that the law will allow me to impose. I :xgxl;‘t li)gx{;«;lsud the tlos'csv. kerm of fmprison- : o not decm dreumstances. i 1h_u SIMON POWELL next approached the bar on the invitation of the Judge, who said: Mr. Powell, you have been heard through your counsel in their sugecstions as to every consideration they could urge in mitigation of ?'0:.:: tscn&uuc‘? _uullhhisc plea ;)l fiuiltv which vou have tendered in ourt—haye y yi fuve ten i rt—haye you anything Mr. Powell (meekly)—No, sir. -~ Judge Blodgett—The sentence of the Court then, is that you p;\é a fine of $3,000 and be imprisoned in’ the Cook County Jail for the term of six wonths. L B. MILLER, Mr. Powell had gearcely time to reach his seat before re Blodgett called out ““Henry i Buffalo rose to respond there Was quite an excitement in the room, A3 it was geuerally understvod that he would make some remarks. He came forward with a smile, and assumed a courteous attitude when the Court asked: 4 Mr. Miller, have you anything to add to what las beew said f Your beial¢ By your coun- eld Mr. Miller in reply, made the following spoech; which aid 50E come up'to the expecta: tions of the audience: 4 think, in justification to myself, T ought to add a fittle. T'don't know as it makes avy dif- ferenee in the seatence; still, If the Court re- members, when erookedness commenced at my distillery I bad as Gaugers Hermiun Becker and Adolph Miller. - Tu the'trial of Rush and Pahl- man, Mr. Becker swore that he had been' en- Engu. in crovokedness before he came to my ouse, at Crawford & Pahlman’s. The question H)]ut 0 din:cflry to Mr. Adolph Miller, so that he evaded it in that trial: but in the Munn trial he nlso_testified that he was engaged In the crooked business before he cawe to my house, at Crawford & Pahlman's. Iwas satis- fied that they had been, because they under- stood everything. And, while I don’t shirk any responsibifity, instead of corrupting them, I think they corrupted me. “ Anothier thing which onght to be viewed in our ease is, that, if the Court has carefully Jooked over these affidayits, he must bave scen that the distillers paid the expenses, and that T, In company with Mr. Lawrence, traveled over seven States in trying to erush out illivit distil- Iation that we knew ut that time _existed; that we_rallied the distillers of the United States, and done everything in our powerto crush it out. A man would rather run lis distillery, I dou’t cire who he is, honest, than run it dishon- est. \Weknew that St. Lotis was largely en- gngcdin it; we knew they engaged in it in the irst District in Indiana, aud_we knew they were_largely engaged in it at New Orleans. myself called the attention of oneof the offi- in the Revenue Depargment in Washington fo this state of facts; and, a5 usual, I got ro- huffed; I got no encouragement, and, in fact, they wonld not speak to me. 3 “Whatever we have done here, St. Louls was engaged in these practicos clzhitéen months be- Toreauy distiller here, tomy knowledze, coni- meneed it. They are just so much more guilty- than, we are. St. Louis had Joined our assocfation and assisted in crush- ing it out, the distillers here would not have been forced to the wall and made to enter iuto these practices. Itisno escuse for any distill- er, and I don’t sct it up as an excusc for my: that we went into it because we had to_go into it; because If we went out of the business we probably would not have been worse off than ive are now financially. But it is a case it which ninety-nine men, I think, in 100 would have done the same as we did. I have uothiug to say in mitigation of my_punishment other than what my attorneys said. Ishall haveto take what- ever the Court sees fit to give me. The Court—The sentence of this Court is that sou pay a inc of §3,000 and be fmprisoned in the Cook County Jail for the termn of sixmonths. M. Miller's face beamed us be realized that it “kasn’t 0 bad, after all,”’ and he quickly got out of the way to make room for ¥REDRICK L. REED. The Court addressed this younz man, who, it is generally conceded, was tore sinacd against thin sinming, as follows: Mr. Reed, Thave heard_your counsel in their appeals for mitigation of the sentence which the Jaw requires me to pronounce upon you; and b 4 il nlso say that the District Attoriey and his pssoviates have expressed themselves satisfied that I should pass upon you. the lightest sen- tence whichd can under the law us it now stands. 1 shall therefore proceed to sentence you to pay a fine of $1,000 and be imprisoned in the Cook County Jail for the term of one day. The statute requires that there should be s fine and imprisonmnent. The other count to which you plead guilty would requirean im; risgninent ofmot less than three months, a5 well as'a fine. 1 have, therefore, thought that it would be a heavier punishment han I felt disposed from the facts which have come to my knowledge in regard to your case, and the manner in which von becamic involved in this offense against the Jaw, I'nave felt. dispesed to inpost upon you such penalty os involves the least loss of stind- ing 45 aman in business and as & man in society. This, therefore, is the penalty and the reason why I gave it. PANLMAN AND RUSH 3 next stepped to the bar, and, having nothing to urge upou the court, of them with the following brief address: You have been found guilty by a jury after which I cannot but consider, in 411 respects, an impartial trial, upon four counts in the indict- ment against you, I have not deemed it my duty to 2o to the extreme of the pepalty of the law in fixing the punishment under cither of the counts. My disposition has been, from all the light which I obtuined, to make your punish- ment 2s light as I could under the clseumstances. The sentenee of the court is thut yon each pay & fiae of $1,000 and be imprisoned in the ‘Cook County Jall for a period of three months. WILLIAM COOPER +was then ealled for, He took his place in front of the Judge in rather 2 nervous mauner, and watted for the words which were to shut him from the sight of his fellow-men for a brief eriod. The Court—Mr. Cooper, not only what has been safd fn your bebalf by your couusel, wheu called up for” sentence Monda st, but \hat the District Attorney has said in your behalf, 1ins led me to the conclusion to inflict upon you the minjmum_punishment which the luw will allow nuder the count towhich youhave pleaded Zuilty. You have pleaded guilty to the second the mandates of | Gount of the indictment for the removal of spirits from your distillery to a place other thau adistillery iwarchouse. The.minimum punish- ment for that offense is 8 fine of not less than $200, and_imprisoment wot less than three months. The sentence of the Court, therefos {5, that you pay & fine of$200, and be Imprison in the (;mk unty Jail for the term of three montls. HILDRETH. JUDGE LAWRENCE'S STATEMENT. Judge Blodgett then called for James H. Hil- dreth, and, as everybody knew that person had left for Canada, the curlosity was intense to Lnow how his case would be disposed of. Judge Lawrence, after walting a reasonable time for the * representative man ”* to put in Tis appearance, sald: It Your Honor pleast, I desire to make this statement to the Court: Mr. Hildreth came to the office of the law firm of which I am a member 2 week ago this morn- ingy and told us that he had becu notified to ap- i at the bar of this court on the following Afonday, and desired that some member of the firm shonld appear on that da vefore Your or, and urge whatever might be proper in x}:‘!’zrllgn’r.inn e sentence of the Court 1o be assed upon him. In consequence of thatwish, {’\:um: here last Monday moraing, as Your Hon- or may remewber, aud inade somt temarks to Judge Blodgett disposed | the Court on behalf of Mr. Hildreth. Yester- day, on recefving a note from the District At- torney at our office ssyluy that the case of Mr. Iitdreth would be called again to-day, we sent a mote to what we supposed to }»g: N3 address in the clty, pEx.lormlmz lim thut he shonld be here, He las not come. I have not scen Mr. Hildreth since 2 week ago, when he was in our ofilee, nor has he been jn our offlce since that time. The inference, of course, is, that he has escaped from the jurisdiction of thesCourt. If Ihad had aay idea when hie came to qur offlee a week ago that it was his iutention to leave the State, Tertainly should not have troubled Your Honor with nn{ remarks on his behalf on Monday. I now deslre to say, what I hope is altogether nn- necessary that I should say, that Mr. Hildreth in taking this step has actdd entirely upon his own responsibility. He has not been advised thereto by either of his counscl, nor has any one of them bad any knowledge of his iutention todepart. 1should consider it a grossly un- professional act, as Your Honor would, and as all members of the Bar would, If counsel were in any way cither to advise their clients to escape from the juristiction of the Court, or to’consent to their so doing. = And what I now wish to do is, %o state In the st explicit manner that no imputation of that sort Isto be laid to either wysell or any member of the firm to which I belong. The Conrt—It would not for a moment enter my mind that either yourself or either member of your firm would bg a consenting party to auy act of this kind. If the defendant has ab- sconded or purposcly absented himself to avold senteuce, I have nodoubt he has done it entirely upon his ewa respousivility, and certainly not by the advice of ¢hy member of your firm. Judge Bangs—I desire to have the defendant, Hildreth, called and defaulted. ‘The venerable erier called for Hildreth three thnes, but there was no response. Judee Baugs—His surcty’s nume {s Francis W. Warren. The crier then commanded Mr. Warren to bring in Hildreth’s body, but that gentleman of course could not cowply, The Court—Let 4 sci. fu. be entered. ORDERED TO JAIL. HUTCHINS & COCHRANE. Rue P. Hutchins and David Coclirane were then requested to step forward for sentence. They had nothing to say for themselves, and the Court addressed them in the following strain: You have pleaded guilty to the first count in the indictment against you, charging’ you witha conspiracy to defraud the United States of the tax upon certain highwines. The sentence of the Court upou this plea s, that you be fined cach the sum of $1,000 aud be imprisoued in the County Juil of Cook County for the term of three months. This completes the list of sen- tences which I shall pronounce this morning. The prisoners will now be taken in custody by the Marstial. Col. Juessen, however, had something to say on this point. Tle said:” If your Honor please, in beld of all the clients thut I represent here, T desire to make a motion Liere for a suspension of Eun(cniuu fora n:nsn?nhle t‘!:;n: tnlgh'c us an opportunity to upply for pardon. I'presume, your Ionor, that Fian days will be quite suf- ficient. 140 not desire to say anything upon the motion. 5 ‘The Court (after s short pause)—I do not think that sentence should be suspended. The pleas of %umy of these men have been upon the flles of the Court here, many of them for from three to four months. They have Lad ample opportunitics to apply for pirdon or for a with- drawal of proceedings against_them. Nothing has been done, nor do T think there has been anything which would give them to hope that the Exceutive would interferfere in their behalf. In some cases where a defend- ant has been found guilty upon the trial, us in the ease of McKee, of St, Louis, where there was strongly conflicting_evidence, there was u suspension of sentence in order that an applica- tion might be made for Exceutive clemensy. IMere where these defendants have pleaded ullty, when they are conclusively presumed to e guilty by theit own admissions at the bar of the Cout, it seems to me that i is too far gone for a further susguns(cn of sentence. Mr. Emery A. Storrs—There muy besome rea- sons,~I don’t know whether they exist or not, —but it is quite fair to presume that they do, why sentence might perhaps be suspended, at all events, until Monday morning. To-inorrow is Sunday, aud some of these men may desire Lo vishy thelr families in the meantime. ~ They are a class of men in whom there is no run; that is to say, there is no escape—no inteution to at- tempt anytling of the Kind. And they are ald- erly men, old citizens, aud men of familics; and 1 presume that there may bhe considerations of thnt character which your Honor would enter- taiu. The Court—Last Monday these parties were brought before me for sentenve. I then heard their counsel in every consideration which they saw fit to mfie in mitization of sentence. They must have known—their counsel must have Jnown—that the Court could not, uuder the 1aw, sentence them without sentencing thiem to imnprisonment. The law imposes & penaly of fmprisonment and fine inafl the cases where sentencos have been pronounced this morning. 1 purgosely gave them from Monday until to- Qay in order that they mishit make theirarrange- meénts for the imprisonment which they knew must follow to some extent, I can see no reason for interfering with it now. The fact {hat it is Saturdsy should make no difference. The Marshal will fake the partics to prison. Judge Bangs—T believe there is nothing fur- ther on the eriminal docket this morning. Tho Court—If you have nothing further, T will transact no further business to-Gay. The parties who have been sentenced will remain in Their seats, if the Marshal requests them to, un- til the crowd has retired from the corridor. This closed the proceedings in court. AFTER SENTENCE. IN TIE MARSIAL'S OFFICE. For a moment they were stunned. - The sen- tences fell like a' thunder-clap on the unfortu- nates and on the audience. Something had been expected and something big, but the im- agination of the most ssngufne had not contem- plated the sentences as they were passed. Among the crowd in the morning the feeling was one of curiosity, but the terrible decrees from the Bench wan from every kuman being of the spectators- the kindlicst sympathy for the stricken prisoners. The effect upon the unfor- tunates could not be gauged. Thore was noth- jngin their faces to indicate their feelings. Some were a trific paler and some rather more flushed than usual, but all were calm, cold, and impasstve. In her Whisky Ring Chicago has laid over all other crooked efforts. The distillers were, many of 'them, o the high- est walks of socdal life. St Lonls resented for sentence nmob of politicians; liiwraukeo hos been shown up us possessing a3 weak a crowd of convicts as could be found: while Chicago, having pajd more whisky revenuc than St. Louls wmultipifed by Milwaukee, pro- duced a number of gentlemen to account for that portion of the tax which had not been paid. ‘Marstial Campbell stepped quictly among the prisoners and iuvited them down into the Mar- shal's office. The crowd followed, and a second crowd, attracted by the news, came pell-mell uj e staircase. The greatest fnterestcenterc af first in Rehm’s sentence, and when it was dis- covered that only his victims liad come under the mallet of the law long snd loud were the curses and objurgatfons pourcd on his devoted head. As the twelve flled by, dozens ol hands were stretched out to grasp them, and after the door of the Marshal's office had closed on them the hum and buzz arose to a clamor. Forsome time the exeitement ran high, and at last it was found mnecessary to call in police to hold the ecrowd in abeyance. There lave been o good many svenes of ex- citement in_the Custom-Hduse Building siuce the 10th of May a year ago. The Districe Court Tins been dragged out of the dust and shadows into an unwonted ?mm!nenue sud interest; the District Attorney's office has been elevated above the mere standard of libtlsand inforina- tions, and the Marshal’s affice has been lifted by the collar from among the rubbish of caveats and Jatitats and that sort of monsense, but during the whols run, the various departments established for the sdministration of the United States statutes at large, have never been so ahaken to thelr foundatons as they were yester- day. Judge Bangs was pale and nervous. The lines around Ayer’s mouth were deeper, aud Matthews looked blue under the eyes. "It was Jike the battle of Blenheim,a famous victory that demoralized the conguered and scared the victors. As the party entered the Marshal’s offico the door was shut, nst intruders and the trowd feft outside. The polles pushed them back to the railing of the staircase, leaving a clear road from the District-Attorney’s office to the “Mar- shal’s room. But there was NO DISPERSING THE MOB. They seemcd to know the party would have to come out again on their way to ‘the jafl, and that another opportunity to satisfy thefr curfosity womld be afforded. And so’ they wated and 2alked, divided in thelr opinfons us to whether Rebim bad better be tarred sod feathered or bung.

To sum up tho expressions made use of, there is no disgrace compared with association with a squealer, and one man said ie would rather go 0 the Peritentiary for ten yours alone, than o the County Jail -for one night with the men who sold their manhood for immunity. “We got off mighty-easy,” sald one man with a longz sentence. :‘{ ow sol’l“ 45 4 No squealers to 2o with us, The one decent thing Blodgett has' done has been to separate the white men from the Goverument witnesses.” This appeared to be a basis for congratulation. ‘There was some objection to the Thardship of some of the scntences, but éven that was for- gotten in the absence of squealers, and the &-xsnucrs seemed more inclined to jubilate thun cry. There was a long wait in_the Marshal’s office, for it toolk some time to make out the commit- ments, aud _get everything in rendiness. The prisoners were patient and dignified, while the vrowd outside were unoisy in their demand for news, and in thelr specalations as to the fateof the first bateh. It was hard lor them 1o under- staud how the second bateh were seutenced first, and it was fluulli; proposed that the first batehl be sentenced thenand therc, and a committee appointed to carry out the sontence without any particular regard to forms of law. THE START. OUR GOOD SHIP SAILS TO-DAT, BOYS, At alittle before 2 o’clock Marshal Campbell assembled his Deputies, and announced that everything was in readiness. Mr. Hesing had ordered a carringe for himself and George Bur- roughs, and Mr. Campbell had ordered a’bus for the rest. Arcade court was jummed from LasSalle to Clark street. The conveyances were drawn up at the LaSalle end of the building, and the excursionists walked quictly down. There were any quantity of Deputy-Marshals, and the prisoners had some little difficulty in keeping up with thetn, but the Deputies were induced to wait, and finally everything was ur- ranged comfortably, though the 'hus was kept a few minutes waiting . for two of the prisoncrs who went out at the wrong door, and who came ap at last pretty warm trom sn exhaustive struggle with the crowd. At last they were all comfortably seated, particularly an cvening pa- per reporter, who sat down in the mud, and the procession started. The route was along La Salle to Madison, up Madison to Clark, and along Clark to Michigan, ‘The news of the sentences had spread rapldly, and on Clark strect there was n goodly crowd waiting for & glimpse of the party. Along the curb on the shudy side of the street, there were lines of spectators, and at the Tivoli there was a crowd of sympathizers. There had been jok- ing, aud expressions scarcely complimentar sometimes, until the ’bus eame in sight, with its load of well-dressed and dignified gentlemen, and then tbe murmurs changed to ympathy, with many a regret. for the severity of the sch> tences. Members of the Board of Trade had as sembled at the alley, near Clark strect, and 45 the 'hus picked its Way through the throng of vehicles,, hats were raised aod handkerchiefs waved, until the outfit had passed. Some of the speetators formed a sort of line and fol- lowed slong to be at the jail before the gates were locked and bid the exenrshaafsts grad d: Tt was u solemn sort of 1, Bk the eral expressica was thetic, mingled With some 821 codvnuntarics upon the course pur- sued by Mr. Rehm. TILE FIRST BATCH came in*for their share, too. Not one of them swas in sight. Near the bridge_the 'bus passcd Murshall” P. Beccher, who evidently had not heard the néws. and, ‘as he recognized the ocen- pants of the 'bus, his lower faw fell, and he turned and fooked in amazement. Just as the ‘hus passed Kinzle street, au. ancient lady of Teutonie principles hailed it and pulled up her skirts and sailed for the back door.

AT THOE JAIL. | WELCOMED WITH HOSPITABLE TANDS. Aronnd the corner of Michigan street, and into the alley, and through the Jail gate into the yard. Ilalf o dozen curiosity-lovers had assembled in the alley, and the back windows of the County Bullding looking but on the yard were filled with spectators. The *bus backed up to the marrow staircase, and the prisoners alighted. For some little time they were sadly mixed up with the crowd, and, when at last they had forced their way into the office, they seemed to feel relieved and glad to get out of the jum. In the oflice they were visited Jy 3 number of friends, ang, for three or four hours, it partook more of * the nature of a reception than an imprisoument. The little room to one slde was given up to the excursionists, and there they received thefr friends and talked over matters and things, and_listened to bul- leting of outside opinjous with enyiable com- placency. There was some little_trouble ahout s room for them, but it was Bnally agrecd that they should have the witnesses’ apartment, a large, pleasant, cool room, on the upper floor. As soonas this was scttled, they appeared to be contented, and gave themsclves uo further un- casiness until - TITE QUESTION OF FINE caméup. When the commitments were made out they fixed the terms of imprisonment and the amount of the fine, but did not provide that, the prisoners should stand committed until the fine was pafd. Under the commitments as they stand, Reed wonld come out to-day at 11 oclock, and pay his fine or not s he pleased. This was fully discussed. - In the meantime the omission was discovered by the officiuls, and late in the afternoon Deputy Murshal Bird came in and_ sunounced that Judge Drummond had made the corrcetion in the absence of Judge Blodgett, and that all hands would stay until the fines were paid, or until they were dis~ charged under theinsolvent debtors act. 'To accomplish their dfscharge under this act, they will have to remafn_thirty days over the time of sentence, and then “schedule out.” This polnt scttled, they went to A BOUNCING SUFPER, which had been ordered In. All the delicacies of the season had been ordered aud provided, and the gentlemen seemed to enjoy their meal as well 83 if they had been at home. Better than Libby,” said one man who had Dbeen there aud who had suffered the borrors of that retreat. After supper they went up to thelr room. There was no lacking up, nnfl!m%:‘ in fact, to in- dicate hnfirisnnmuut, save that they could not run fnand out as perhaps they would like to. Scores upon scores of friends cafled, and among Mr. Hesing’s visitors were some 'of the most prominent’ Germans in the town. Merchaats and members of the Board of Trade flocked in, und- the room was crowded with friends and sympathizers. Cots, mattresses, and hammocks were brought in and arranged, and In a little while the room partook of the aspeet of a hotel during Convention times. Many a man of the party has been more inconyerienced camping out,and on o sleeping car, than he ‘was in his new quarters Iast night, andit scemed as though they took kindly to the stern fate that had over- taken them. SEVERAL OF TIE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS cailed fn, and promised the use of the Grand Jury room for the reception of Iamilles. The room will be fitted up and furnished and occu- pled by the prisoncrs during the day, and the anly incauveuflnuc will be a little crowding at night. ilxcr cverything had been settled they sat down for a comfortable chat, more like geutle- men o their home than senteiced men in Qurance. At an early hour they retired, worn out with the excitement of the day. And now comes @ little section of the law which may curtail the F!cnsurc of theclub. It is enacted fu Sce. 18, of Chap. 75, of the Revised Statutes, as follows: - B 1t any such Sherifl, Jailer, of other pecson shall permit any such prisoner to stud far or have any spiritons, vinous. or malt ligaor, except when pre- scribed by some respectable ‘physician as a medi cine. such Sherid, Joiler, or other person shalll fined not less than $100, nor exceeding 85001 . each offense. 2 So the boys will have to keep some resp ¢ able physician?” on band to preseribe for1... often infirmities. JAKE REIM. WIAT RE THINES OF THEY Appreciating the interest felt i Judgze Blodgett, areporterfast evenl.. Juke Rehm. He found him at his housc the eve of closingup for the night not in the best of spirits, the-sterar Court having cast a gloom over Lis The first inquiry of the reporter was Mr. Rehm thought W the scu Mr. Hesing, which he hesitated to answer at first, but finally said ke thought it was extravagant. He went on to say that e had expected Hesing to get from oue to six months, and some of "the others far less than they had received. Cooper, for instance, he said, was a good man, 3 was Dr. Rush. Hohad expected that their sentences would have been Tighter, and believed that the Court crred in marking them so hizh. ‘They were not realiy guilty compared with the others, but he could not explain their sentences in any other way than that they were vietims of a hefnous eonspiracy. Just here he deviated from his line of remarks to make some severe charges against Col. Jues- sen. He said he had employed and paid him as counsel about $700, whereas he turned up- on him in the nterest of Hesing, and endeavor- ¢d to kill him by affidavits. ¢ then entered into an explanation of the MITIGATION OF SENTENCE groceemn% of a few days ago, claiming that H. G. Miller, Ernest Mattern, and Louis Berger had sworn falsely. He had never forced Miller psy 81,000 for malt, as al- leged, “but brother lad bought malt of his (Renm’s) partnerand had found difficulty in getting trus! Tn the case of Mattern, he said he hiad been dismissed by Munn for neglecting his duties, and that all that was ever asked of him In money was &35 for election expenses, which was pafd to IToyt. In the case of Berger, when it wus reported that Shu- feldt was running “crooked,” he had never i:g\mlermumled any orders made by tbe Col- ctor. These explanations belug through with, the reporter became inquisitive, and fi.&rnud that Mr. Rebm NEVER.IAD HAD ANY ISPLUENCE of any account in removing or appointing Gaugers, and_whatever he had, came from the Colleetors, 1o had had nothing to do with the removal of Juessen, but lie had brought on his own downfall by failing to abide by his prom- ises. Atthe thine of Juessen’s appointment, Yol said there wus g _campalin. dobt on hiy hands amounting to $500. Juessen promised £0 assume, snd did _assume, the liubility, giving his individual note therefor, but when itmutured he denied it, hence his remoyal. He assisted in the appointment of Irvin us Jucssen’s successor, and had known him s Jong while, and inti- mately. From this period commenced his #qerookedness,” M was recognized as @ leader, and the consequence was that everybody who wanted a position came to him. JIE COULD NOT WORK POR NOTHING, and did not hesitate to take some loose cliange for his infiuence in seeuring appointments. He was, however, innocent of any crooked work, and at this day was utterly amazed to think that he had recommended so many thieves, and that the ori{mrtuxmles for thieving were so great. He said hie held bis influence, somehow, under succeeding administrations, but was careful cnough to curtail his recominendations. . In the case of Dan Munn, for instance, he did not in- dorse him, neither did he favor the appointment of Wadsworth. Under the circumstances, how- ever, he thought it very strange that they should "have escaped as the did.. He rcasoned in this wise: n’f: bad had no commuuiestion with the authorities at Washington, whatever, yet was mysteriously informed fo_advance of the visita- tion of Governmental agents to distilleries in the city. He would not say that either Wads- worth or Munn posted him in the matter, but it was asserted that if he had to testify again that his evidence would not be differcnt from what it had been, even if to change it would save him from a ten years’ sojourn at Joliet. ILE DID NOT ENOW WIAT LIS SENTENCE WOULD . BE; -had received no promises of any nature, but the whole matter had been left with his attorney. e had understood from him that he would get off light, and he cxr:ctcd nothing less, in View of the fact that without his evidence noth- ing could have been done, and no convictions eould bave been made. Al the moncy he had over realized in his work lhad been spent in the intcrest of his ‘political friends, and §f he had bad his choie, ho s2id, by way of closing Dbis talk, he would far rather have beeu in jail the last six months than to have been subjected to the annoyance he had nndergone.

The Seaside Hotels===Desolate Appearance of the Dining= Rooms. Pilgrims to the Exposition-Shrine--~ Seeking the Cool Sea-Breeze. Scenes About the Island---Sen-Grove.-« The Beach-Drive. Special Correspondence nf The Tridune. CaPE Miy, N. J., June 15.~The murmur of the surf grows drowsier with the oncoming of sarmer days, A month since, aue could not take a comfortable promenade along the beach unless clad in the heaviest of winter-wrappings; aud even then the keen, steady wind from off shore pricked the facelike arrows pofnted with young fcebergs. A mellower air succeeded fn the lntter part of May, and ot this time the temperature Is simply perfect. At high noon, when the sun scorches the fnland cities, and drives all people into the refuge of their houses, there is here only that mild refulgence which-can be seen, but not unpleasantly felt. The rays of light are tempered by a cooling breeze, that just stirs the long grass on the lawns fronting the beach. The few inmates of tke hotels wander up and down the wide verandabs, or stroll along the pler. mornings and afternoous, unoppressed by heat, and unrestricted by the formulities that come with the crowds. *‘The Island ”—as the Philadelphians affectionately term Cape May—is probably just nOW at its prettfest. THLE SEASON at the senside rusorts can scoveel have commenced before the day of firecrackers and sky-rockets. To be sure, many soclety-peo- ple begil packing their trunks as early as the middle of June, und aunounce confidentially to their friends that ¢fo a few days * they will be off on their-summer tour. But the world of society is n lelsurely world, and tbere are so many nmnficmcnts to be made, so many things to bé thought of, so many modistes to be can- sulted by the ladies, that the departure is gener- ally deferred until the midsummer- month has fully eet in. Then comes the rush at the seaside-hotels, the clumor of hundreds of papas for the ver&' best rootns, the skurrying of waiters up and down the cor- ridors, the rustle of dresses in the parlors, the numerous groups of loungers on the beach, and the scarcely less numerous groups of merry Dathers in the surf. Almost fn a day the Tsland is transformed from a dull collection of cottages and hotels into a bustling and pictar- csgue colorny. s Liglly prabadle that the season will be a week or twwo later In opening this year than usual. Everybody in the fashionable “world ex- pects of course to see THE PHILADELPAIA EXPOSITION; and to’ “sec’ it means to stay in that city at least aweek. It isnot likely that people gen- erally will start on the sumwmer tour any earlier than they are accustomed to on that account. On the other hand, it is guite ushl;‘fimbnblc that they will prolong thelr stay in Philadelphis be- yond the absolute time required to get an idea of the Exhibition; since, of all places in the country, there is none more disagreesble during the sumuner than that same Philadelphia. 8it- uated fnland, its inhabitants have not even the advantage that the Chicazoans have, of 2 lakebresze, but, if they stay in town, must simmer and broil through heat of the most inteuse kind. It has been sucgested that, to avoid the heat, visitors to the Exposition might take up their residence at Cape May or Atlantic City, and run down to Philadelphia on the early trains, returning in the evening. But thls ided, though very nice in theory, will not be followed to anygreatextent. Aride of two hours and a half on a railroad- train, through a country desolate of cverything but dust.—which latter exists in more than gen- crous quantitics—is not caleulated to- fit one for the .amenities of a high civilization, ag illustrated in the extortions of the Centen- nial restaurant-keeper, or the equally-demoraliz- ing labor of sight-sceing. t is expected that the Cape will be patron- ized this season better than ever before, and, in cansequence, GREAT PREPARATIONS are belng made by the permanent population. There is a grand farbishing-up of old ware, and buging of new. The dozen or more hotels have beén éngazed for a montl fo repuirs. Congress Hall has been fitted up far more comfortably than it was last year, and now puts its best foot forward, with the con- scious satisfaction of having performed its duty to the public. At the Stockton_there are also many improvements that will be noticed bfl the old frequenters of the place, Other changes have taken place, of which none will be hailed with greater delight than the extension of the beach-drive to Sea-Grove. This drive will be one of the most popular fea- tures of the Cape. Thelong pier In front of Congress Hall—-which was swept away, it will be remembered, by o storm—has been replaced and extended; and, in calm _weather, steamers will land passengers there,at a short distance from ol the leading hotels. This an jmprovement on the railroad-depot, which {s located at the southern cnd of the town, compelling people to take carriages for transfer to the hotcls. The Railrosd Company cannot, however, be accused of illiberality, as it is now running two express_traing daily each way be- tween the Cape and Philadelphia. lnndd{tlun to these facil lfues, : 'BXCURSION TRAINS are to be put on as often as people will patron- ize them. The first of these excursions took place last Thursday, When a Kh‘rt‘v of newspaper- correspondents, including many. of the feminine order, rode over _. from Philudelgli, by special fovitation _of the officers of the Penmsylvania Road. The erowd numbered about 150, and were winedl snd dined at the hotels in the approved fashion. The West-Jerses Railroad is a tributary of the Pennsylvania Road, and rises In the summer to the rank of an important auxiliary. Of course it i3 a fecder of Philadelphis, and Is so atfully constructed that the traveler cannot geb uway from the Cape by land, except through Phila- delzlhh. Quee in the latter place, be finds him- sclf fu the clatches of Tom Scott, from whom he will scarcely eseape In any direction without paving a good round toll. T have spokea about THE BEACH-DRIVE from the C::Ee to Sea-Grove. It will be the reg- ular thing this scason for the younger class of the ephemeral population to pair-off towards evening and drive down to the Grove. A two- hours' ride along the shore, with the sea con- tinually whispering romaatic things In their willing ears, aad with, perhaps, & squarc foot of moon thrown in as an dded attraction; a splendid team muking music with their tramp ong the level road; s driver handsomely in- different to what is passing behind Lim,— what conld be more enchanting! Sca-Grove ftself is au lnstitution of pecullar Intervst. It was started several years ago as g sort of moral side-show to tie mgnagerie of c:ige May. A number of church-going ¢itizens of ‘hiladelphia, baving become horrified at the immoralities that were practiced at the Cape in the beight of the season,—sucly s gambling and drinking,— formed an association for the purpose of constructing a seaside resort of iheir own. The attempt bas been successful, and_ Sea-Grove apparentl grus&crlng. Irreligious visitorsare not wanted at Sea-Urove; aud a5 one of its regulations is, that no liguor chall be sold in the place, lnu‘]gluus cople sedulously remain away. e village is sita- ated on the extreme neck of land at the junc- ture of Delaware Bay with the Atlantle, and, Tike most places of the kind, has ot an attract jve landscape, befog squatted fn the sand. People who' live there, however, ‘say that it is very pleasant; and, as the enterprise is anything ‘but a failure, I think it quite probable that un:f}- statements are correct. To return to Cape May, whichis, after all, ‘TUE CUIEF POINT OF INTEREST 1 would like to pictare the placeasitnowstands. As for the houses, they need no descriding, as they Ymc“ to the beholders the same curious Jumble of very small coua?es, Witha sprinkling of very lage cottages,—which litter, of course, are for the accommodation of the general pub- Tici—as are to be scen at all the Jersey resorts. The cottages are beginning to exhibit signs of life. Shutters have becn openced and lawns mowed, and occasfonally baggage-wagons de- &rsu at thelr doors huge boxes and trunks,— e avant couriers of thislater civilization. The cottage people generally come earlier than the hotel people, and stay fater. Already the white cap of the pretty nurse-maid can beseen bobbing up and down over the fence, or coquettishly protruding from the front-parfor window. TIHE GREAT, ROOXY HOTELS present a- dismal nspect. At Congress Hall there may be forty guests; and at Stockton as mauy nore, while the smallerestablishinents are stil! by vacant. ' A ook into the 0f one of the large hotels at be sald to uite troubled at first, but in the eveniig was ‘ound qutetly rovsting beside the chleken. uich, i3 generally between 8 and 4 o’clock in the alternoon, would afford considerable amusement to a bumorist. The loug tables, stretching far ap the dreary wilder- ness of tloor, are unused except as receptacles for broken-duwn chairs and other lumber. At one end of the table may be seen a single oasis of white cloth and silver-ware, where perchancs half-a«dozen persons inay be seated, solemnly going through the tragedy of eating. Of the people who fi- ¢ already arrived at the Cape, there are few who bave the distinguishing truits of the summer tourist. They look about disconsolately, without attempting te mukg acqualntanees, and scarcely seeming ta know what their object was In coming. An ex: ception might be made u the case of A PRETTY WIDOW WITI BLONDE ILAIR, ° who graclously smiles on the male sex in gens eral, and who' i3, therefore, a favorite. She i not less {ntercsting on account of her weeds, and will doubtless have a loog retinue of slaves before the season is half over.
