Spectal Dispatch to Tha Tyidune, Wasnmxeton, D. ., Aprit 6.—The course pursued inside the Treasary Departinent during ho paat eight months in regard to whisky prose- cutlons 1s just nttractiig conslderable olilclal ot~ tentlon here, and much outslde considerntion also. The atlempts to fix the responsibility for tho lax course pursucd upon the proper officials havo not yet recelved any very definite results, thongh it cannot be sald that as yet thesont- temnts have procceded furthier than the nstitutivg of general Inquirfes. In re- gard to the question of dismising o large number of clvll suits azainst members of the Whisky-Ring it appears that in the Scere- tary's office Mr. Morrill was really opposed to abandoning these suits, ns were also Assistant- Sceretary French and Solfeltor Talbot. In tho office of the Commissioner of Internul Revenue, the Bollcitor, Mr. Chester, was strongly opposed 1o dismissing thess sulte, and made reports to ibat cffcet. Commssicner Raum overruled theso ndverso reports, and took grounds in favor of rcleasing the whisky men. These va- rious opinfons arc sald to be matter of record fn the Treasury Department. WIUAT MAY UE EXPECTED IN TIIH FUTURE, T the Western Amvociated Press, WasmNaToN, D, C., April 6,~Sccretary Sher- mnn has established a precedent for the dispost-s| tion of all propositions looking to n compromlse of the whisky suits, & large number of which are now pending before the Treasury Depart- ment. Ho has taken up the first caze presented, which is a proposition to rellovo the suretics from all responsibility on payment of merely a nominal sum. After reciting the history of the case, and quoting the law, the Secretary, fu lis Tetter, snys: No queatlon I8 made but that the principal had violated the terms of his bond, had been proven enilty of a celminal breach of law, of the conditions of hlsbond, and bad ‘been sentenced to Hfteen montha' lmprinoninent and o fne, Suft was com- wmenced upon his boud, and jndpnent was ontered by confersion. ‘There are no extenuating clrcum- sfances fu favor of the principal of the bond, ox- cept the any participation of wmany othera {n his ctime.

McCormiclk, anid the num- Der of those who have thus far had interyicws with him has been about $00aday. Under 1heec circumatances It bas been, of course, fn- pesneible for him to give much attention to the organization of the Department, and he has at present no idea of making any tmportant changes, There are. ol course, - cer- tain reforms necessary, to which he will give liis attontlon at an carly duy, Ap- plications for pusitions in the Treasury as well 48 in other Departments are nimost uscless, be- cause it will be necessary to reduce rather than increase the clerfeal force tiow employed there. Very few persons have any idea of tho extont to which the_reductions’in this Department have been made during the lnst threo years, The number of clerks who have been dismissed without the nn&wlnhunnt of others fn .thole places since 1874 Is in the neighborlivod of 1,000, and durfng the same time the reduction of forve in the Burenu of Engraving and Vrinting bas been about ns great.

Naw Yonsx, April 6.—At the post-mortem held to-dny it was discovercd that five builets had been fired into the body of Orville D Juwett. Four of these ‘were snall, and fitted tho rovolver which wos fonud with ita four barrels empty. Thoe fifth was larger, aund fitted tho Colt’s mavy, -which was: aleo found discharged. This disposes of the various thcories that have been put forth to-day, and makes thewhols matter plain. It was one of tho most deliberatd and carefully-planued at- tempts at wholesale murder In the annols of crime. If Orville Jewett was - mad, there was perfect oothod In i inadness, 1o wus thoroughly prepared for his work, Taking a moment.whon one of hls pact- ners was busy writlug, ana a sceond, his uncte, stood with his Lock toward bim, the murderor threw bis deadly grenade fn the , directlon of the Iatler.

That be bud the etrength to do the et s proved conclusiyely froin tho fact that, after it all, wheun carried futo tho outer office, hie ralsed himeclf and drauk from a flask of bramdy offered him. Then, whiie his vest was plereed and burned, his cont and greateoat wéro Intact, He evidently held these nway from his breast with one hand, and pressed the revolver agalost it with the other, The police hold to the theory.that Mr, Dean, after the Cxplosion of the yrenadu by which ho was so seriously wounded, paused to shoot the bullets into Orvillo to repay him for what he had done. This was absurd on lts-face, and fmposeible from the position of the partles when found. Beslles, the last shot -was fived after Mr. Dean had stuggered from the of- fice, and lio certatnly could not have had tho Colt plstol iu his possession. Another theory, that Mr. Talutor, sou-in-law of George D, Jew- ett, rushed Into the room after the ex- ploslon and shot Orville In. revenge, shuws what storles can’ be luvnnlml. That tho shooting wad’ done fmmediately after the bomb explosion fs corroborated by the jan- {tor and his wife, who wera startled by the loud nolse, and beayd thereafter four shiarp reports, and then “another.’ .
