At 10 o'clock this morning Judge Buateu- ronrD, of the United States District Court, is to pass sentence upon ALVAH BLAISDELL, Joun J. Ecker, and Jonn McLaren, who wore found guilty last Friday by a fury of their fellow-iticens of having violated the United Stites revenue Taw imposing a tax upon whiskey. The precise offence charged against them was that of iMcitly removing spirits from their distilling estall shment in Forty-fifth street, but there isno question that they have committed all the other acts neces sary toenable them to evade the payment of the duty, and thus to defraud the Govern ‘ment. ‘Their punishment, therefore, will probably Le graduated, not 60 much by whut has been proved on this particular trial, ax by the other facts which are within the knowledge of the Conrt and of the proaceuting stiorncy.
