siou with the understanding that the moment we com

uaius TO be discovered Many cOnjectures were made

wholly correct. At tho request OF the Attorney
General THE TRIBUNE will not publish any names unui
the arrests have been made but Is not improper 10
state that several of the given by The Times ana
The World OF yesterday do not appear in the bills while
several prominent persons not mentioned at all, and
none ~ whom are generally suspected of having engaged
I'm the Ring frauds, are undoubtedly indicted

ans will be taken in charge until to-day MI Adams
has been very active and energetic IN exposing tne fng
frauds the building Of the Harlem Court-House, not
only the public press but before the jury, ana te
suit of Genet is well understood to be instigated by
spirit OF revenge what his charge against M ADAMS Is

indicted but no other authority for this statement could
De obtained and 10 not generally believed to be true
