ee 40 t Dissolution of the Court of Inquiry * by Presidential Order. Babcock Will Not Resign His Place as Private Secretary. HIS PECULIAR ARREST. Abortive Attempt in Washington to Get Control of the Evidence. BRISTOW OBJECTS. Forfeitures to the Govern- | : ment in St. Louis. SUPERVISOR HILL CONVICTED. Sr. Louis, Dee. 15, 1875, There was a Jull in the whiskey fraud excitement to- ay, although rumor was still busy with the President’s and Senator Morton's names in connection with future indictments. Bluford Wilson, the Solicitor of the Treasury, was in the city on bis way from Chicago to Washington, and had a long conference with District Attorney Dyer in regard to the civil suits against the members of the King. It will be remembered that five suits have been begun to recover the amount of the distillers’ bonds, and that, together with the other civil suits, the government hopes to recover from one to two 4 million dollars in this way. PORPKITURKS TO THE GOVERNMENT. The buildings in which crooked whiskey has been made have also been forfeited to the government, and will be sold to the highest bidder by the United States Marshal. Mr. Dyer says the first sale will take place on the 2lst of this mouth, when Quinlan Brothers’ rec” tifying establishment will be brought ynder the bam- mer. In January Ulrici’s, Leffingwell’s, Beavis & Frasier’s, Tencher’s and Jowett’s establishments will meet the same fate. The last mentioned is rather celebrated, from the general supposition that CASKY, 4 BROTHER-IN-LAW OF THE PRESIDENT, Wasa partner init, The distilleries are mostly a very poor class of property, being only wooden sheds and Situated in the outskirts of the city, while the rectify- ing establishments are solid structures of brick or stone in well frequented streets. However, the total mount expected to be realized from the auction sales is uot large. Mr. Dyer ait that if the government got $100,000 for them all they would be doing very well indeed. It is a remarkable fact that most of the mem. Lers of the Whiskey Ring are to-day either poor or have but a competency. Everybody notices the fact, and says that it is evident, when the enormous amounts of money raised by them are considered, that there must have been a great leakage somewhere, and THE PUBLIC OFINION OF ST, LOUIS, When asked where, points unmistakably to Washing- ton. Some of the New York papers have contained a Statement that Babcock was in hiding in this city, This Isacanard, Bavcock was still in Chicago to-day, and will have to stay there until the Court of Inquiry Gnally adjourns, He stays there with Mr. Campbell, his father-in-law, wno is also a lucky federal office, bolder, like most of the Babcock family, being Marsbal for the Northern District of Liinois. The Campbelis Were old residents of Galena and strougly cherished friends of the Grants longgbefore national fame illumi- Buted the history of the last mentioned numerous tribe, This is significant, as showing how strong are the ties of friendship between THE GRANTS AND BABCOCKS. Mrs. Babcock will be here during the trial to buoy up her husband. DECIDEDLY PECULIAR. It was a decidedly peculiar incident in this Babcock tase that Campbell was the man who, in bis official tapacity as United States Marshal, had to arrest his son-in-law. The scene between Campbell and Babcock, which must have been unique, is described to me as follows by an eye witness. Campbell thought it was a sreat outrage that he should have to serve the capias on bis son-in-law and discharged his duty very unwill- ingly. BABCOCK’S ARREST, However, he had no alternative, and so he went to Babcock’s roow and said, in as light-hearted a tone as he could assume, ‘‘Here, my boy, is a little paper they want me to give you,” Babeock looked at it, jurned deadly pale, but only for an instant, and then said, with great self-control, “Allright. It’s serves, Anything else?” And then he proceeded to give ball. HE WILL NOT RESIGN. Ex-Judge Krum, Babcock’s counsel, told me to-day that Babeock was very confident of an acquittal when he was with him 1a Chicago, but that, being of a very lensitive temperament, he felt his position keenly, devertheless, As soon as he had plead here he would | teturn to his post of duty at Washington and there Wait the trial, 1 asked him whether he thought Bab- yock would resign his position as Secretary to the President, pending the trial, and Mr. Krum declared ost emphatically that he would not, and that he had dever thought of doing any such thing. Mr. Henderson, in the presence of Bluford Wilson md Assist&nt District Attorneys Eastman and Bliss, fave up this afternoon all the papers, despatches, &c., © his possession in regard to these whiskey cases. He very gracefully washed his hands of the whole bu aeae, I had a very significant and suggestive interview @-day with Assistant District Attorney Bliss. I asked him if beyond Murdoch’s testimony any other evidence bad been placed before the Just Grand Jury tending to Mmplicate the President, He said there had not been, wod made this SIGNIFICANT REMARK :— “Why, even if General Grant were implicated, he sould never be reached by the law, for he need only tell Sabcock and the rest to allow themselves to be con Nicted, as be would pardon them immediately and give | Lem something beside to suppress the evidence | wanst him.” As regards Murdoch, it appears that he sas removed from his position as Collector in the fourth Congressional district through the intluence of loyco and McDonald, DYER'S DESIRE POR MARTYRDOM. Pierrepont’s remark on reading of Dyer's outspoken Ympatby with Henderson, that if Dyer courted mar- yrdom he could be accommodated, was telegraphed jisher, and bas produced much uneasiness among be prosecuting attorneys, all of whom have wen Henderson’s “ warm friends, and have wen almost equally outspoken in this regard. Yer himself said to-day he could not tell rhether Pierrepont made that remark or not and that ve might have done so, When I asked him if hee Btended to argue the Babcock case himself be said Ignificantly “Yes, if I am in this thing! will,” show. tg that he does not feel very sure of bis position, One bing is certdin, if Dyer were removed it would ® a very difficult thing to conViet Babcock, he strongest testimony against him is that of ten who were in the ‘Ring’ and trusted to be promises of Dyer and Henderson to be treated with miency. They have seen Henderson's head full, Mhich bas made them feel very insecure, and if Dyers Wis also this testimony will wot be obtain This is be opinion of men who claim to know all the facts in Inboock’s case. As Reynolds has declined the position {sixth prosecuting attorney it will probably be offered Dex-Judge Cole, of lowa, a gentioman who bas great Jaime upon the nation’s gratitude, for he is the one Iho is said to have written Grants celebrated Des loines speech. ATTEMPT TO BAVE BABCOCK It has leaked out, or, a: least, it is so alleged, that Borney Geveral Pierrepont made a strong effort to Ippress the evidence against Babcock. It appears dat when the first news of this evidence reached fasbington Dyer was immediately summoned to be capital, He had @ Jong interview with Verrepont, in which the latter tried to hurry tim iv fder to ascertain how much testimony he bad in real. ty against Babcock, and he wound up by proposing THE WHISKEY CAUSES. | that Dyer, before presenting the evidence to the Grand Jury, should submit it to Lim. Dyer told Bristow of this proposition, and the latter refused to give his con- sent to any such arrangement, evidently thinking that | not even the Attorney General had a right to arrogate | to himself the functions of a grand jury, THE GENESIS OF THE FRAUDS. | Cuicaco, HL, Dee. 16, 1875. | A special from St. Louis says the most startling information that has developed from the crooked whiskey business of late came John MeDonald, the convicted crimmal, whois now in jail. A prominent, and in every way a respectable gen- | tleman, calledon MeDonald to-day and had a long in- terview with him. McDonald confessed to him his com- plicity with the Whiskey Ring, but claimed that as a matter of abstract justice he was innocent. He ex: | plained that the inception of the scheme resulted from orders from headquarters to raise funds for the cam- paign purposes. He considered it in the nature of an order and endeavored to carry it out, The money was raised and regularly applied. After the machinery from General | had been prepared and set in motion, the ease with which it manufactured wealth to subserve political ends induced the gincers to apply its workings to their own aggrandiz ment, and the application was quite generally made; there it was that they all got into it, McDonald says that Avery was innocent of tho alleged offence tor which he bad been convicted. He said he could have a fortune out of the King if be bad consented to co-operate, but he had made nothing, and to-day bad mot enough to pay his lawyers’ fees, A WOMAN IN THR CASR, The notes and telegrams attributed to General Bab- cock were bond fide, but McDonald positively asserts that none of them pertained to the whiskey business. His explanation was that during the late Collector Ford’s adininistration a woman employed in his office was authorized to act as his deputy; that con- siderable controversy sprang out of this arrange- ment, and Babcock’s enigmatical notes and telegrams all had reference to this woman. THE COURT OF INQUIRY DISSOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH A KE- QUEST FROM GENERAL BABCOCK, Wasntvoron, Dee. 15, 1875. The President has received the tollowing:— Cmicaco, IL, Deo, 12, 1! To THe Presipent, Washington, D.

NO MORE TRIALS BEFORE JANUARY, A telegram was received at the Department of Justice to-day, from United States Attorney Dyer, at St. Louis, announcing that no more important trials would occur before January. STRONG DENIALS. Senator Morton denied, as utterly false, the pub- lished statement that he was concerned with the Whiskey Ring, in connection with the Indiana cam- paign funa of 1872. The statement as published in a Washington speciay despatch, dated yesterday, that Colonel Holloway, Postmaster at Indianapolis, has been indictea for com- | plicity in whiskey frands, is denied by a telegram from Nelson Thurber, United States District Attorney for Indiana, who says, “There is no such rumor, nor is ‘there any indictment;’ and Colonel Holloway tel graphed to Senator Morton that there is not a word of truth in the statement and no such report of charges against him, CONVICTION OF SUPERVISOR HILL. Ixprawarouis, Dec. 15, 1875. Judge Gresham delivered his charge to the jury in James K. Hill’s case this morning, and the jury retired at a few minutes after ten o'clock, and at four o'clock ‘returned a verdict of guilty on the first, second and third counts, and not guilty on all the others, Motion for a new trial will be heard before the cqurt to-morrow. WHISKEY FRAUDS IN KENTUCKY. Cincixnati, Dec. 15, 1875, In the United States Circuit Court at Covington, Ky., to-day, J. M. Schintker, F. R. Krusskamp, F. Macke and Steinriede, engaged in the rectifying busi- ness, pleaded guilty of violations of the revenue laws. Their sentences have not yet been announced. WHISKEY DISTILLERS’ REVENGE. ASSASSINATION OF A GUIDE TO THE REVENUE OFFICERS—THE BODY RIDDLED WITH SHOT, Nasuviiz, Tenn., Dec, 15, 1875. John Morris, guide to the revenue officers’ soldiers, who made the raid on the illicit distillers in Sumner county, capturing seven of them, was agsassinated at his home at dusk yesterday, by unknown parties, who are supposed to be friends of illicit distillera. The body ‘was riddled with fourteen buckshot. CHARLES O'CONOR. THE PATIENT STILE ABLE TO CONVERSE AND TO SLEEP QUIETLY. Fort Wasnixatox, Deo. 15, 1875. The condition of Charles 0’Conor remains unchanged and there seems to be no danger of his dying during the | night, During the day the patient rested comfortably | and was in quite # talkative mood during the morning. | He partook of some fruit, mutton b¥oth and minced mutton, As yet his stomach shows | no sign of digestion, although it has re- | tained the food for seventy-two hours. Dr, ; Keyes was with him frou haif-past mime to half- | past ten in the evening, and declared that if Mr. | O’Concr was a younger wan he would predict recovery, | but owing to his age he would have to await turthor developments before expressing an opinion, At latest | advices Sir. O’Conor was quietly siceping. TWEED. There were no new developments in the search for William M. Tweed, as the officials were reticent. The Sheritf said that he had aciew which promised well, | and he seemed to be in very good spirits, as though his troublesome hunt for the fugitive was approaching a cri It is understood that tne Sheriffs men be- lieve that they were very close on the tracks of Tweed on Tuesday night, and that be had a narrow escape from capture. Beyond this there is nothing to say, except that the belief in the rumored negotiations gains more credence among those who ought to know the real state of affairs, REPORTED TO BE IN CANADA. MontREAL, Dec, 15, 1875. It is reported that Tweed i# here and hiding in a house on Union avenue, Mr. Tellier, of the New York Merchants’ Detective Agency, is in the city. DR. DUNHAM'S DEATH. New Bresawiéx, N. J., Dee. 15, 1875. The Coroner's investigation into the cireumstances which led to the melancholy death of Dr. Dunham was resumed in this city to-day. A large number of wit- nesses were examined, and the drift of the evidence strongly supports the theory of suicide. Dr. Baldwin read the report of the medical commis. sion appointed to examine the body, which 1s as fol- lows :;— That the commission have agreed to report that they have found no evidence of physical violence upon the body of Dr, Charles Dantam. Secondly, that the appearances foand indieate that in all probability the imsnediate cause of death wae by drowning.

CHESS. A GBEAT ENGLISH PLAYER ARRIVED IN THE erry. No little excitement has been caused among chess players here by the arrival in the city of the dis- tinguished English expert, Mr. H. E. Bird, This gentleman is well known to all amateurs of the game by his matches with such European. players as Steinitz, Falkbeer, Wisker, Macdounell and other first rates, Mr, Bird will stay in New York about a monih, | and bas already tested the skill of many of our best players, winning # large majority of the games contested, On ‘Tuesday he played three games with Captain MeKenzie, who is by universal consent acknowledged to be the best player in America, In the frst game Mr. Bira had the move and played the Ruy Lopez attack. After a long aud tenacious defence Mr. McKenzie assumed the etfensive and scored a well deserved game, The second game Was a Scotch Gambit, in which Mr. Bird early ob- tained an advantage and pressed it to a speedy conclu. siou. In the last game Mr. Bird offered the Evans’ Gambit, which Mr. McKenzie accepted, and played what is known as “the compromised delence,’’ After an obstinate struggle in which the principal pieces were cleared from the board Mr. Bird missed vn oppor- tunity of winning, refused to draw and finally lost a jane which was the most brilliant of the three, Mr, ird visited Brooklyn last evening as the guest cf the Brooklyn Chess Club. i Chess players will be pleased to learn that three of the best players in Europe—Messrs, Steinitz, Black- burne and Zukertort—will probably take part in the chess congress to be held in connection with the Phila- deiphia Centennial. The Rev, G. A. MacDonnell, one of the finest Enghsh players, has also intimated his i- tention of being present on that occasion, Mr. Bird will also return, if his duties per:nit, and with the gen- tlemen named, our Mr. McKenzie and other resident Players, tho event will be a marked one in the history of the game, In the match between Mr. Alberoni, of New York, ana Mr. Ensor, of Buffalo, at the Jatter city, the score stood at the last account to 4 in favor of the New York player. EUROPEAN SPORTING NOTES. Count Castillengo and Signor Bosi have purchased several fine stallions and brood mares in Lincolushire for King Victor Emmanuel, Nineteen very choice ani- mals have been thus collected, Among them is the cele- brated stallion Carlton, bred by Lord Hhwke, by Stock- well out of Midsummer by Melbourne. He is a dark chestnut, sixteen hands high, and is a horse of great muscular power. He was purehased from Mr. R. T Davy. Among the thoroughbred mares purchased may be mentioned Laverna and Vivette, bought of Captain Skipworth ; Margaret and Satisfaction, bought of Mr. G, Walker, and Lady Burleigh and Millie, bought of Mr. W. R. Brockton. ‘Other purchases were made trom Mr. G. H. Bromley, Mr. W. T, Sharpe, Mr. F.C. Mar- shall, Mr. I. Thornton and Mr. J.

While taking a fence near Thorpe it became impaled on a stake, throwing its rider, who, however, escaped un- hurt. The injuries to the animal were of so serious a nature as to render it necessary that it should be im mediately destroyed, z ‘A very large and interesting meeting of the Inter- national Gun and Polo Club was held on the 3d inst. at Preston, near Brighton, and, although it was snowing nearly all the afternoon, a lengthy and interesting pro- gramme was successtully carried out.

A letter has been received from the Assistant Signal Of. cer at Washington in response to a petition for the estub- lishing of « signal station at Block Island, saying that he had been directed by Gen Moyer to say that he thought fa- vorably of the petition, ‘The letter will explain the matter as it now rests, and the following is the closing part of the same :—"While he (Gen Meyer) is convinced that the com- mercial interests of the country demand the speedy estab- lishment of telegraphic communication between this office and the important isolated points on the coast, he regrets that the limited appropriation for the signal service will not at present admit of the expense attending the construction of the necessary line, The charts, showing the cuust line in the vicinity of Block Island have been examined, with a view of supplying you with an approximate estimate of the expense of securing telegraphic communication with the island. The nearest direct line to the mainland passes from the north extremity of the island to a point about midway between Point Judith and Noy's Point, a distance a little less than ten miles. From the cable landing to the railroad, where It is presumed telegraphic connections may be made, is about five more, and with the five miles of wire on the isl: and, will require for the entire line, ten miles of cable at $10'0 per mile and say twelve miley of wire at from $100 to $150 per mile.” The only obstacle then, fo this important point ix the ex Flor will’ nse, but it is hoped this bar- not preveut the carrying out of the proposed enter- rl pre Vetter has also been received from the Secretary of the Now York Chamber of Commerce, announcing that the pe- for th y at Block Island had unanimously — appt the Chamber, and been signed, not only by ity. president, ° but by the presidents of all the marine insurance com- panies in that city and by the leading shipping merchants ‘engaged in the eastern trade. The State’s reproscutatives at Washington will do all they can’ to induce Congress to make the necessary appropriation, and it ‘det that the day is not fur distant when this “dot on the ocean”? will be blessed with the desired object. ‘The life saving stations (two) at this plaeco are now in proper working order and it is anticipated that they will be productive of beneficlal results. No place along the eastern ‘coast needed them more than Block Island, MARITIME MISCELLANY. Sreamen Kina.Ricwarp (before reported) first took the ground on the starboard side and would not answer her helm, Sithough put hard to starboard enough to prevent her stop: ping altogether. After taking the xround the engine was reversed to back her off, but the injection pipe having sucked thick mud caused ‘the condenser door ‘to explode ra few minutes’ working, and the machinery being thus topped, the ship remained’ until subsequently she came off after lightening some cargo. The Board of Examiners at Baltimore passed « severe reprimand on the pilot for uot Keeping the ship in the middle of the channel, The steamer resumed her voyage yesterday.
