He Will Never Resign, and Will Go to Blaine and Conkling. Spectal Dispateh to The Tribune. Cixcinnati, May 12.—No nows of any im- portance has been developed to-day In connec- tion withthe whisky rald. The ltevenuo Agenta devoted most of the day to drawing up thelr reports of yesterdas's operations. To-marrow the District Attorncy will cause tho arrests of Ierman Tiepen and Fred Gramann, distillers, and Fred Echiertz and Bernhard Kuhlman, rec. tityers. The Gobreeht brothers were arrested at alate bour last nizht. Asto futuro move- ments the ofliclals are very retleent, but futie mate thut some tew days will clapse belore an- other scizure fs made. They do not hesitato to declare that the Revenue Service here fs very corrupt, aud wielded for the exclusiva benofit of the Rings. At some of tho distillcries the Government Gaugers have becn omployed to do THR DUY OAVGINGS that is, measure the capacity of the barrels so that the distillers can fix the contents to take advantage of the fractional parts of a gallon. In honest housca the custom Is to employ a private Gauger for this purpose. Another way of help- {ng oute tho Ring ls for the Government Gaugers to do the commerclal gouging, under which the aistitlers and rectillers have been fu the hablt of diviving the profit accrulng from the *liberal gauwe,” In both ways the Gaugers played a double role, that of kuowing haw todo It forthe Governument, and knowing hiow to do it for the distillers, ANOTAER SOUNCH of “liboral gauging ' f8 tho reuse of barrels, When old packoges como back Lo the distlilery, thie heads aro scraped so as to obliterato the old serial numbers which have been burned or stamped In, This naturally reduces the thick- ness of tho heads, and, consequently, the call- per measure of tho lencth of the barrels nce cording to tho gauging tables, Thls reduction will show a decrense In capacity which uctually does not exist, ‘These barrels, with heaus shaved down to the thickness of sheet iron, are lareely used for tho transportatiou of nighwines from the distillerics to tho rectifying houscs, For other purposes they are not strong euough, With relerence to the flght over TUE REMOVAL OF OLDEN, tho Collector of the Covinzton District, the ofticials bave nothing to say, They pronounce him one of the ablest officers in tho service, It hgs Jeaked vut hiere that his removal is entirely of u pohitiesl claracter, growiog out of & quar- re) botween Bristow and Harlan, Holden was an appolutee of the former.

'The fuct ls, that for more thau o year the Depurte ment has suspected the ‘extstence of frauds in con m with certain distitleries und recti- fyive-houses, particulurly thovs whusa proprie- turs were quen of small meaus and Juxurious Labits, Tle district was TLACED UNDEKX SURVEILLANCE, Itevenne-Agent Brooks was ordered here at the begiening of last yeor, and the moraing alier s departure from Wushlogton the Eu- quirer ol this vity publistied a telegran statlug that ho was on the wav. This wus at oncen potlication to tho distillers, and athers in- terested, to gel thelr houscs in_order. Iu Washington the publication in the Enqulrer at- tracted tho attention of the Department, and mure or leis suspielon was - at- tachied 1y Wertzel, who was then In that city. Frow that time out the Departucnt thoroughly Letioved thay Weitzel's oflico was vot il Rl und uumerous attempts were wade to get ut the trae fnwarducss of affulvs, Buyeral Revenue Agents, locludiug McClear, Hale, Mitchcll, sod “otucrs, were sent out to this city from tlme 10 time, but su casefully were Wielr movements Watchied, aud so cleverly were tho croohed actions waal Liat tuey YAILED IN KVERY INSTANCE :-) l;ncurcr anything taugible fu the way of rauel. Last Decemnber the Commlssion conclud tuat dLwould b for the best fil- treel of the servico (o make o gens erul trauafer of Reveuuo Ageuts.

Ou reportivg the situation ta Washington, hio was authorized 1o vinploy u sutlicient force of detectives to work up the dlstrlct. Sowe time auter they hud gut falrly to work some of the Jurger aud, ostensibly, ‘wure buoest distillers sent au attoruey to Wushington tu sdvise the Yrealdent and Becrctary of tho Treasury tnat they believed LAKGE ¥RAUDS WERS BRING VERPRTRATED fu this district. The Lonest diatiliers wers pot udviecd as to what the Cowmusslouer wis do- 1ug to fesret out the fruuds, but their attorney was fofurwed that ay sirent would be sent out 10 coufer wigh them. On the ageut’s arrival, Le discovered that the sttorney bad no more cvidence thap the Departnent, sud he also dis- covered that Weitzel's otlice was i possesston of all the tostimony which the attornay had taken to Washington, The Cominissioner was informed by tne sgent that nothing could be accomblished, 83 the distillers were aware of the fact that they wero watched, Revenuc- Agent Mitchell asked for further instructions. Gen. Sewell, Chief of the Agents, was sent here, and, in connection with the District-Attorney, LOOKED OVER THE BITUATION. On the General'sicturn to Washington he re- ported to the Department the peeuliar condition of affalra, It was resolved upon to usk for Weitzel’s resignation. Backed up by the mem- bera of the Ring and several nn-x-rnl:nkma poll- tivians, ho became impressed with the deu that he was a bigeer man than Hayes, and declined to resign. even after he had obtained & brand- new certificate of honeaty from Becretary Sher- man, who thad thus hoped to get tid of him. The evidenco was steadily acenmulating that frauds had been and were being constantly perpetrated, but the larger dishillers and rectifiers biad taken adran- tage of the squabble over the Collectorship to cover thelr ‘Luks. Flnnll‘ the District At- torney and Revenus Agent Mitcholl united ina telegram to the Cominlssioner advisiog that thero be NO FURTIIER POSTPONNMENT, as the excitement in rezard to Weltrot's re- moval had sounded the noto of a general alar Gen, Sewell was at once ordered here, with stretons to confar with the District Attorney, took over the evidence seeured, and order such selzurcs as the facts would Justify. ThoGeneral's presence fn the «ity did not seem to be notieed, though ho was in constant communica- tlon with District Attorncy Richarde, A few dnys ngo Weitzel nsked the Commissioner for leave of nbsence to go to \Vuhln}lnn, which ‘was granted, and to-day it was stated upon good antnority that the distiliers TOOK UP A SUBSORIPTION to pay his expensca. Lauat night the revenue officials held s confor- ence, at which therc was a general comparison of notes. Thery were present at this consulen tiou tien.

The latter is a tumbtlo-lown series of framo sheds, and has a daily capacity of #50 bushels, In Gobrecht’s, against which was the Ienst cvidence, were found PACKAOES OF STAMDY taken from ULarrels to be uscd as thoy were wanted. Telpen's books, over which two reve cnue oflicials will wrestle nll night, show cone cluslve evideree of fraud In connection with Kuhimann, but, as one of the otllelals says, this was well knowu. Behertsz had been removing atamps and sending them back to Kublmann for some time, The thres rectifiers did quite an extensive keg and jug busioess, aud Kuhl- mann for a long time had been in tho habit ot imldlluu the crooked whalsky around the coun- ry In Juge. Tae Deputy Collcetors irom Weltzel's office promptly responded to Gen, Sewel's Inatructions, and ecemncd to be TUOHOUGNLY 1% WARNEST - in thelr desire to remove the stizms which for 80 long o time has rested on the oflice, as the result of the Inexcusable carciessness, to call it by no harsher name, of their Chief. Gobrecht's stamps show conclusively that, when the apirits had been tumped, the Gauer had oot destroyed the stamn, or, If he had in- spected the goods, he did nol return the alips. ‘he oresumption Is that they never were re- ported on Form 123 to the Collector, and did hot come under the observation of the tauxer, ‘The priucipal steal was perpetrated by the re- use of stamps, and getting back, with un- hm:}ten stanips, empty packages frow the retall ealers, While the rald was In progress, your cor- respondent was lholdiug o contercnce on tho Board of Trade with a knot of disiillers, among whom were Kelloge, lolterhoff, Green, of Ll"al! & Co., sud Duckworth, Thuey visors ously DENIED THE EXISTEXCH OF ANY CROOKED- x X or n Ring; admitted that thov wero losing money ot present prices} boasted of the (a:t that they had ot a very liberal gauge; cursed the country distitlers for bearing thy marges, ond generally abused the rectiflers beeanve they would not puy any ndvauced price, Betwoon times they abused Chicago to their heart's con- tent, apd insisted that the dliferonce of yleld i favor of Chicngo wis beemisy ler distillers crowded their. mashes, and couldn't como out eyen on ther gralu account, Ono of the party adwitted that the Gaugers on duty at rectifyiog Louses aceepted the gaugo at the distillery as known by tno stamp, which {s u_very convenient arrangement for ul} partivs, as it cnabies the distiller and tho rectitier to DIVIDE THE FROFIT detived from the salo of tho gouds by the com- mercial gauze, The otlicials are in possessession of testimaony of amore or less damugine character against the distilieries of Holterhell, Kayser, Duck- worth, nnd Rabe, aml it {s not unlikely that somo or all of them will bo seized within a few daye, ‘The necessury necotnpaniment of the sl will be the eapture of hall o dozen rectifylug estab- ltshinents THE MISSISSIPPL Now Orleans und Barataria Ship-Canale Capt, Cowdan's Suhemo Iufinitely Hotter than Eads’ Jetties, Austin (Tex,) Statesman Capt.
