week ago our immensely popular repre-
sentative at the Court of St. James, hav-
ing shaken hands with half England
and dined on mock turtle with the 9TH
er, very complacently accepted the terms
OF the protocol drafted by Lord Stan
lev, whereby our little bill of eighty
millions for American merchantmen de
stroyed by British pirates was TO play
the part of Jonah to Johnny Bulls
Whale, in the high old
comedy of English Equity.
In a patronizing kind of way, he inci>
dentally submitted il To the considera>
tion of our au fdjt stage manager, Mr..
Sewa rd, who declines the honor of put
ting in an appearance as peremptorily as
Parepa Rosa did to appear before a $500
house in Carson. And now the tele-
graph, which has given surfeit of ru-
mors in detail on this subject, adds, by
way of an emollient to allay the univer-
sal irritation that nothing VIII probably
be done in the case, until everybody
Interested. or who has any knowledge of
the matter, is dead and decently buried
in Auburn or Westminster Abbey. It
is to be Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce over
again. The briefs and attorneys thick
en-. and costs accumulate; the parties
litigant will shuttle into court and shuf-
fie out of existence, bequeathing their
enmities and interests to some unfoFtu-
nate survivor. and the fog will grow
thicker until the great case grows as com
plicsted as the Schleswig- Holstein af-
fair and diplomacy will bave achieved
another brilliant triumph of masterly
inactivity. 1t is a delightful state of
affairs for those whose all is ivolved in
the adj Indication of the case.

The Whisky Ring-A Bold Movement
StoPped-Arrest on Charges Of Perjury.
From the New York Post

A movement by the Whisky Ring" is now
undergoing Investigator before United States
commissioner Stillwell, of this city. The in
tended victim Is Collector Bailey, of the fourth
dIstrict, one of the most faithful and efficient
Officers IN the department. He has done more
not only to break up the Illicit distillauon of
WHISKY IN this city, but throughout the United
States, than any officer ever connected with the
service.
The chief person engaged in this affair is Dr..
blaisdeli, at one time president Of the Metro
politan Distillers' and Rectners' Association.
organized last summer under the auspices of
Deputy Commissioner Mesemore, which ssso-
clation volunteered to collect the whisky tax
IN this city, II the management of this matter
was lett TO its supervision. He was also pro-
prietor OF the Blaisdell distillery, which was
forfeited through the direct action of Mr.. BaI.
ley, and he Is now under indictment on
criminal charge of defrauding the Govern
officer. - '
TIE following is an outline of the plan pur.
snoval Of Collector Bailey. During the past
few months certain officers of the Internal
Revenue and Treasury Der artment IN this CITY
in connection with DR.. Blaisdell and other
large sums OF money, and employed notorious
spurious bond makers to suborn witnesses 10
make an1ddvlts against Collector Bailey, charp
ing HIM with having been bribed by them
About two weeks ago the Collector learned
OF the movement, and requested Captain 5. G.
Tapley TO Investigate it.
Capta1n Tapley set about the work, and soon
got complete evidence OF the trans sactions of the
conspirators: They were followed to the ofice
OF the special Treasury agent Belknap, at II
Broadway, and seen 70 make oath before tha,
emcer, In company with Blaisdell, who had
ms ofhce with Belknap. 1t was also ascer-
famed that the men who swore were paid Ger.
tam sums Of money for SO doing. Subseo uent.

and under cover OF the odium of his position

Through the activity and skillful conduct OF
captain Tapley, Mr.. Bailey was advised of all
their movements, and as soon rs each man had
sworn before the Commissioner he was arrest.
ed for perjury, under warrants issued by Com
missioner Stillwell, and lodged in kudlow
street Jail, without the knowledge Of his com.
panions in crime. Meanwhile Collector Bailey
Went before Commissioner Osborn and gave
Dali Tor his appearance for examination, which
will not likely be q tedious one, as all the wit.
nesses against him have been committed for
perjury, and, with most Of those who were di.
rectly engaged IN the plot. are confined in Lud-
low street jail or In the county prison.
Several OF the criminals have made full CON-
fessions OF their gnilt. The whole affair will
be made public in a day or two and the names
OF all concerned be given, with the facts.
