CrxciNsaTi, O., May 11.—Last night Collector Weitzel, who prefers beine considered a knave rather than a fool, went to Washington to per- suade the Administration that he is neither,and that there are mo whisky irrcgularities in the district. He will undoubtedly be astomshed to learn to-morrow that the evidences of the exist- ence of a Whisky Ring were of such a character s to justify the Revenus Ageats in seizing one distitlery and three rectifying bouses, and he won't tuank the people for beleving that be s more of a knave than a foul. The fact fs, that for more than = year the Depart- ment - has suspected the existence of frauds in connection with certain distilierics and recti- fyinz-bouses, particularly those whose proprie- tors were men of small means and luxurious habits. The district was PLACED UNDER SURVEILLANCE. Revenue-Agent Brooks was ordered here at the begicning of last year, and the morafng after his departure from Washington the En- quirer of this city published a telegram stacing that he was on the This was at oncea notification to the distillers, and cthers in- terested, to get their houses in order. In 4 Washington the publication in the Enquirer at- tracted the attention of the Department, and more or less suspicion was at- tached to Wertzel, who was then in that city. From that time out the Department thoroughly believed that Weitzel's office was not all right, and numerous attempts wero made to get av the true inwardoess of affairs. Several Revenue Arents, includiog McCicar, Hale, Mitchell, and others, were sent out to this city from time to time, but so carefully were their movements Veatched, and o cleverly were the crooked actions masked, that they FAILED IN EVERY INSTANCE to discover anything tangible in the way of fraud. Last December the Commission concluded that it wounld be for the best in- terest of the service to make 2 gen- eral travsfer of Reveoue Agents. Mitchell an old and experienced ofticer, was selected for this district. On his arrival here he and lus as- sistants quietly took observations, and soon came to the conclusion that things were not as straight as they should be, or as they scemed to be. On reporting the situation to Washington, he was authorized to employ a sutlicient force of detectives to work up the district. Some time after they had got fairly to work some of the larger and, ostensibly, mor: honest distiliers sentan attoruey to Washington to advise the President and Secrctary of the Treasury toat they believed LARGE FRAUDS WERE BEING PERPETRATED in this district. The honest distillers were not advised as to what the Commussioner was do- ine to ferret out the frauds, but their attorney was Informed that an agent would be sent out to confer with them. On the agent’s arrival, he discovercd that the attorney had mo more evidence than the Department, and he also dis- covered that Weitzel’s office was in possession of all the testimuny which the attorney had taken to Washington. The Commissioner was informed by the agent that mothing could be accomplished, as the distillers were aware of the fact that they werc watched. Kevenuc- Agent Mitchell asked for further fnstructions. Gen. Sewell. Chie! of the Agents, was sent here, and, in connection with the District-Attorney, LOORED OVER THE SITUATION. On the General’s return to Wasiiogton he re- ported to the Department the peculiar condition of affairs. It was resolved upon to ask for Weitzel’s resignation. Backed up by the mem- bers of the Ring and several unscropulous noli- ticians, he became impressed with the idea that he was a bigger man than Hayes, aud declined to resign. even after he had obtained a brand- new certificate of honesty from Secretary Shei man, who had tbus hoped to met rfid of him. The evidence was steadily sccumulnting that frauds had been and were being coustantly perpretrated, but the larger distillers and rectitiers had taken wlvan- tage of the squabble over the Collectorship to cover their tracks. Finaily the District At- toroey and Revenue Agent Mitchell united Ins telegram to the Commissioner udvising that there be NO FURTIER POSTPONEMENT, as the excltement in regard to Weltzel’s re-’ moval had sounded the note of a general alarm. Gen. Sewell was at once ordered here, with - structions to confar with the Distsict Attorney, look over the evidence secured, and order such seizures as the facts would justify. The General’s presence in the city did not seem to he noticed, though he was in constant communica- tion with District Attorney Richards. A few days ayro Weitzel asked the Commissioner for leave of absence to go to Washingtos, which was zranted, and to-day it was stated upon good sutnority that the distillers TOOK TP A SUBSCRIPTION to pay his expenses. Last night the revenue officials held a confer- ence, at which there was 2 general comparison of notes. There were present at this consulta-
