THE ALLEGED WHISKEY FRAUDS.
District Attorney Courtney Not to be Sus-
pended at Present.

The deflsi0n In the case Of Courtney has beer
made. President Johnson. after reviewing all the
testimony and duly considering the arguments made
ON both shes, has determined not to suspend the
District Attorney on the charges at present brought
up, but atthe same time has authorized Judge Full
lerton TO Untinue the prosecution and accumulate
further testimony. In short. the situation seems TO
be this, That the stin In abeyancc and though
the accused parties 60 home relieved in q GER
tam degree Of the fear OF punishment, still
their agoiy Is by no means over. The
whole casewas considered at tho Cabinet meeting
to-day, Mc(ullOch and Evarts being the principal
takers on tic subject. Mr.. Evarts gave his opinion
In opposition to suspending Mr.. Courtney from
once, and HcCulloch Is understood to have coin
cided with tie former fully However this may he,
1t Is certain that late in the afternoon after the ad
journment q the Cabinet meeting. Mr.. Evarts wrote
to Judge Fullerton asking the latter TO call at his
ONCE on important business. Judge Fullerton i'm
mcdlatcy repaired to the Attorney Generals ONCE,
and was thee informed by Mr. Evarts OF the Pres-
dents determination. Courtney ana company
gard the sction OF the President In refusing
to suspend as o complete vlndicatlon OF their
characters; but Judge Fullerton and those acting
with him take an opposite view Of the situation, and
contend thatas Mr. Courtney has not been acquitted
fully he has little, indeed, TO boast OF.
Jadge Fullerton to Continue His Investigation.
Judge Fullerton ia determined to prosecute the
work with all the greater energy now, as his own
character has been attacked by the New York organ
OF the whlsky ring in series Of articles lately, and
In the attempt to procure his Indictment by the
United States Grand Jury for conspiracy to black
mail OF and Intimidate public officials. Animated
with this desire he will proceed to hunt up oil the
additional evidence to be obtained, and thus fortified
will keep up an unceasing warfare upon the parties
alleged to be implicated. In the meantime the cir
Is filled with al sorts OF strange rumors. the most
markabe being that the cause Of the non-suspension
Is a compromise between Courtney and certain
parties who have been very prominent In his prose-
cut,on. While this view Of the case Is being urged 1t
seems to be forgotten that such an arrangement
would necessarily have to include the President
himself and Attorney General Evarts. or course this
view entirely extravagant and not to be thought
OF for moment II the President has made an i'm
proper decision it Is because he has been
mised by members OF his own Cabinet
or because he has yielded to his habitual
slowness OF action, an in1rmlty which has
frequently beset him at important juncturcs when
prompt decision was most needed. Fullerton and
many Of those who came here with him left on the
nine O'Clock train, but Courtney remains here still.
