TESTIMONY OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL DISTILLERS’ ASSOCIATION. ‘The investigation of the so-called whisky ring Was resumed by the Senate select committee this morning, Mr. Shufeldt, the president of the Na- tional distillers’ association being the first and only witness examined. He explained the provi- sions of the bill of the liquor men as it was origi- nally introduced, and, suid all, the provisions ex- cept that for indefinite extension of the bonded riod were struck out by the ways and means committee. He said he had received $4,000, which was raised by the Kentucky distillers. It was raised, as he understood it, to be used in present- ing the subject of reduction of the whisky tax ress: it was the purpose of the distillers to employ able legal talent upon this matter to urge it earnestly, and the money was raised for that yo r eur pad and potds tae ageing said, for the purpose ‘was in ' Not a dollar of it had been used: Aside from this the sum of $8,500 was received and sent to him by the liquor men generally. He had used $1, of this moncy in sending sums to liquor dealers to be used against prohibitory meas- ures. Calls for such aid, he said, came from the customers of the distillers in different.states, and they are responded to. He had had such calls from Kansas and sent money there.

Under the call of states in the House to-day, Mr. Townshend (IiL) introduced a bill to abolish post- age on second-class mail matter.

The Speaker ruled that the resolution was not in order under the call of states; while Mr. Kelley declared that the committee on ways and means would have reported upon tue matter referred to had {t not been for the objection of the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. White.)

Mr. Charles H. Reed appeared in the chamber occupled by the Court in General Term this morn- ing before the court assembled. ‘There was a little knot of newspaper men and others gathered there to hear the decision of the court upon the petition of Mr. Reed, published in last Friday's Star, ask- ing a rehearing on the ground that the record was incomplete, inasmuch as the court had not passed upon the refusal of Judge Cox to grant the prayer to instruct the jury to return a verdict of “not guilty” on the counts alleging death in Washing- ton. The court did not assemble till 10:35. ‘Then Chiet Justice Cartter and Judges James and Hag- ner took seats on the bench. Corkhill and Mr. Davidge, counsel for the govern- ment, were both present in court. ‘The court did not reach the consideration of Mr. tition till 11:20 a.m., when Judge the case of Guiteat, the judges who lis- tened to that case have come to the conclusion that they have exhausted their powers upon it; that they bave heard it and that a re-argume! District Attorney tiently, fully and fairly, would Bring them to no otner conclusion than that which they arrived at, and decline to reopen the case for argument.” soon as this brief decision was announced, Mr. Reed and others Interested in the case left the ie MR. REED’S COMMENTS, Mr. Reed said to a Star reporter: “I insist upon it as my right that the record shall be truthful in all respects, and I say that the counts in the in- dictment which allege that the President died in the District of Columbia are false, and in the gen- eral verdict of guilty the jury have found as to these counts, that he died in the District of Col- umbia, which everybody Knows 1s a lie.” im Contemplation— Depressed—A_ Letter from the Prisoner’s Divorced Wife— She does not want Him Hanged. Mr. Reed, Guiteau’s counsel, was asked while in the Court in General Term this morning if this was his last resort. “That's what some of the papers say,” said Mr. “Tsay it43 not.” “What will you do next?” asked THE Srar re- Guiteau Not “Watt and see. decision here'this morning.” “Will you do anything to-day?” “No, 1 will not be ready to-day. To-morrow, though, I will make a motion in the Criminal Court before Judge Wylie. what the motion 1s, 80 you need not ask me.” Mr. Reed has the motion which he pro submit to-morrow to Judge Wyile in the Court already prepared. He ‘showed it, after the roveedings in the Court in General Term wo-day, ict Attorney Corkiili, but that gentleman said he did not care to have the copy. The motion, itis understood, attacks the record as false, and asks for relief.

It be true that Mr. Brady was deceived, who deceived him, and where does It leave the ‘others? So far he Lad spoken of Mr. Brady because they regarded him the most guiliy, for he stood hich, and claimed that he was so hich that he was’ only amenable to tmpeachiwent proceedings. Mr. Bliss claimed that he would prove all he had stated. THE OTHER DEFENDANTS. Mr. Bliss said the other parties were Stephen W. Dorsey, who was a Senator and chairman of the post office comiittee; John W. Dorsey, his bro- ter, a resident of Midileboro’, Vt.; John M. Peck, a brother-in-law of S. W. Dorsey, in poor —consimption; John R. "Miner, friend of Dorsey, a resident of Sandusky, Mr. Rendell, of Arkansas, a clerk u the District Commissioners for a Ume, and clerk for Stephen W. Dorsey; Mr. Turner, a clerk in ute office of the Second Assistant Postinaster General, and Mr. Vile, a regular contractor. Mr. Bliss said they ex- pected to show that Mr. Boone was brought Into this combination becaus» of lis superior knowl- edge of the business.

In December, 1877, Mr. Boone through the mail sent circulars t» ll contractors ti the south and west, asking cert iin inforin.tion—answers to be sent to dunes H. Peckner & Co., lock box 714, Washington, It was ascertained that Peckner was a boy of 16 years. They would have a good deal of “lock box 714.” In the same month bids were sent to postmasters at Little Rock and Fort Smith, by Stephen W. Dorsey, Who sald they should get them signed, but not let any one know they catne from him. Mr. Clendinin, the then postmaster at Fort Smith declined. Mr. Hadly, at Little Rock, did something more and one of the bonds was executed by some one personat- ing John M. Peck, then in New Mexico. Mr. Bliss claimed that the dates and oaths were untrue, and were certified by the postmaster, In April, ‘187%, Mr. Dorsey appeared as the avowed owner Of tue profits from these bids.

They took routes which could be increased. Of the routes they obtained 98 were weekly, 24 seml-weekly and 12 tri-weekly. They lost $20,000 by routes being diminished by raliroads, and gained $760,000 through the ordorsoi Mr. Brady. Attorney General Brewster «t this polnt entered the court rooun, ‘ONE COMMON POOL. After defining conspiracy, Mr. Bliss sald they would show that all the parties were concerned in 1t; they would show that the bids we-e gotten up in the third story of 8, W.

Governor Clayton called on Postmaster General James and an appointment was made, at which ‘Mr. Woodward was present, and Rerdell then made a statement that Brady received a percent- age; that a bogus set of books was made, in which Brady appeared as Smith and Turner as Jones Mr. James vas anxious that Rerdell should see the Attorney General (Mr. MacVeagiy), and he did So in June, i881, when he presented a boo k sald to be the letter book of the firm,and they would show that one of these letters was written to a Mr. Wilcox, and he agreed toleave the levers there. Mr.’ Rerdell subsequently called on Mr. Wocdward, and afterwards uny inet on the train, When he stated to Mr. James that he was going for the books; that he had felt better than he for some years because he had made a clean breast orit. The next day on his return, at Trenton N. J., or the first stopping place, Rerdell received TWO DISPATCHES FROM DORSEY, one saying “Don’t let us part in anger. Get off at Philadeiphia and all will be arranged,” and the other “For God’s sake, don’t ruin my family.” Since then, however, Mr. Rendell had by some in- fluence been led to change lls course of action. They thought the court would instruct the jury at the proper time that the confession of a conspir- ator was evidence, Mr. Bliss then related what they expected to prove as to each specific act. He was proceeding give the contents ina general way of certain communications that passed between various de- fendants, when ‘MR. TOTTEN STOPPED HIM, and asked if he were reading a letter. “No, sir,” sald Mr. Bliss. “Ttsounds very much like it,” sald Mr, Totten. “T have been over these papers so much,” said Mr, Bliss, “ that I have them all in my memory.” wake, Would like to get all of them,” gala Mr. S01 rn. “You will get all of them,” replied Mr. Bliss, “ quite as soon as you want them. “Certainly,” Mr. Wilson, “and we intend to have taem.” At half-past twelve o'clock the court took a re- cess for half an hour. AFTER RECESS. When the court re-assembled Mr. Bliss resumed his address, referring first to route 38,150,0n which John R. Miner was contractor, and on which some remarkable increase and expedition was made. In connection with this route Turner had gone through the arithmetical calculations and allowed $4,368.55 more than could ay Oe ee be allowed, and this sum continued to be a pal until an honest administration got into the Office department. Mr. Bliss continued then to‘discuss other routes, giving at length the ee ea by which, it is claimed, increase expedition were ob- talned and the government was defrauded out of large sums of money. eee District Government Affairs.
