SALARY RAISED TO $100,000 Yor THE YEAR.—The Plymouth so- ciety of Brooklyn have made one more vig- crous effort for their pastor, Rev. Henry ‘Ward Beecher.

His present salary 1s $20, It is understood that this increase is mainly intended to defray the ex) of ‘the trial to which Mr. ‘Beecher was subject. ed.

THE TREASURY AND THE WHISKY FRAUDS, The Charges —_—— Chief Clerk very. Soon after Secretary Bristow struck terror into the whisky ring camp, there were whis- perings in the Treasury department that Some prominent officials connected with that branch of the public service would feel the force of the blow. Subsequently it became a maiter of open discussion in the halls, and it was alleged that the chief clerk of the Treasury department was placed in quite an unpleasant position arising out of em- phatie statements made by members of the “ring” that he had co-operated wita them and received pecuniary assistance them. More recently these sta rumors were brought off atien- tion of Seeretary Bristow and he has given the matter his personal attention, and is now, as lie bas been forsome time, seeking to sift the charges to the bottom with the view toestablish their trath or In tuis connection it may be stated that the repre- septative of THE STAR has been for several days past in jon of the information on which this article is based, bat withheld it for prudential reasons from the reading public. As so many vague, indefinite, anc exaggerated statements haye been mate in reference to the matter by idle Within the last few days, it is however now deemed best in justice to all concerned to publish the real charges as they stand. THE CHAE AGAINST CHIEF CLERK AVERY. When Secretary Bristow was indu his present office he chose Wm. O. Ave Ihnols, as his chief clerk. Previous’ had been chief clerk of the internal revenue bureau, and gave satisfaction in that po- sition to hissaperiors. While the ehief clerk of the latter, he was the custolian of all the secret correspondence of the bureau commu- icated to it by the supervisors, special | agents and detectives. Besides being the custodian, he was, in fact, the censor of the corres ence, in so far as its distribation was concerned.

Holt succeeded to the chief clerkship of the Internal Reveaae burea and becaine custodian of the secret corre- spondence. MEGRUE ON THE WAR-PATH. Of course after the * ring” got its blow, no one of those concerned for a time knew how to act. The rapidity of the movement caused the greatest consternation. Those inv were at sword’s points, and no one trust 2uy other one.

His friends say he took ‘this eonrse because he claimed that his own arrest was the result of & conspiracy, in which others as equally tuvolved uis as himself participated. WUAT MR. AVERY SAYS. Avery denies the ebarges in toto, and will develop his innocence. He says he is glad matters have assumed present aspect, because when P’corruption was mere. go innuendo he could not notice ‘t. Now it in a specifie shape. and he will ctrtainly disprove ull the allegations made againsthim. To the creditof Mr. Ay it may be said he has always hitherto borne unsullied reputation, and his friends ex- ress the belief that he will be able to clear Eis skirts of the charges against him. WHAT SECRETARY BRISTOW SAYs. Up to three o'clock to-day Secretary Bris- tow had not been officially advised of the in- dictment of either Avery or Holt. He admits that the serious charges againt his chier clerk have been brought officially to his at- tention and that he is investigating them. “Mr. Avery.” said he, “shall have the faliest opportunity to vindicate himself, if he is innocent he sball be protected, if he is guilty he will be punished. Megrue’s uncorroborated testimony would not be considered as conclusive by Mr. Bris- tow, but if he can substantiate his position by the documents which heclaims to have— letters which passed between Avery and members of the ring, &c—then Mr. wey will be placed in a very embarrassing posi- tion. . Megrue is well endorsed, politi. caily, and at one time came very near being appointed commissioner of customs of the ‘1easury Department. EXCITEMENT IN THE DEPARTMENT. The publication in a New York afternoon paper of yesterday of the statement as to the indictment by the grand jury in St. Louis of Avery and Holt has been extensively ciren- sated in the Treasury to-day, and has caused considerable excitement. The prevailing impression is that Mr. Avery will be able to establish his innocence. THE WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS have nom- inated Hon. Harrison Luddington for gov- ernor, and other candidates for state officers, and adopted a platform inst sectarian legisiation, favoring resumption of yments, accepting as sincere he set forth to the im- quently r, in wi his p and question. deréa uy Ss.

The shooting for the cup presented by the mayor and citizens of Belfast, Ireland, took eral yesterday on the range on Lord Duf- ferin’s grounds. The distance was 1,000 yards. Each man was allowed five shots, the highest possible score being twenty. Several thous- and persons witnessed the shooting. All the members of the American team aad the re- serves took part. The contest was exciting, especially towards theclose, The result was doubtful up to the last shot. Colonel Giller- sleeve. Mr. Lee, of Belfast, and Mr. Johnson, of Dublin. made remarkably fine shots. When all bad fired their five shots each, the scores Were announced as follows :—Gildersleeve, American, Lee, of Belfast, 19; Fulton, American Jotnson, of Dublin, 18; Bruce, American, 17; McKenna, Dublin, 17; Wylie, 16. The crowd cheered the announcement with great enthusiasm. The tie between America and Ireland was then shot off. According to the terms agreed upon the men had three shots apiece. Each shot was ehed with breathless interest. The result was again a ue, Gildersieeye and Lee's scores being ex- actly alike. h male two bull’s-eyes and acenter, counting eleven. The excitement rose to fever heat as they began to shoot oif the second tie. Both men were cheered vo- ciferously. The final result was a victory for Gildersleeve, who made three bull’s-eyea in succession, scoring ten. Lee made ten. The victorious American was wildly ap- planded by the excited spectators. In the course of the shooting for the cup Bodine, Dakin, and Coleman, of the Ameri- can team, made misses, and were obliged to retire in acconianee with a rule which re- quired the withdrawal of any one man who misses the target. A good many of the Irish competitors aiso retrred under the rule, in- cluding Wilson, a crack shot. AFTER THE CONTEST the members of the American team and friends, accompanied by the mayor, alder- men and other leading citizens, mate an ex- cursion on Belfast Lough. The party were entertained at Clandeboye, Lord DalTerin’s country residence. Mayor Lindsay proposed the health of Lord and Lady Dufferin. The toast was drank with enthusiasm. Captain Hamilton, the brother of Lady Dufferin, re- sponded, expressing his pleasure in receiy- ing the gentlemen of the American team and more hospi ta Opes anticipated.

The nealth authorities have exercised their power wi the poor people, but the wealthy still have direct connection between their houses and the sewers.
