Many Officials Implicated in the
oai Whisky Ring

No candid person questions the bad
condition ofthings at Washington. The
general opinion is that all sorts Of rob
berry and conupt practices exist there.
Measures were passed through Congress
just to give an opportunity to realize a
few millions ofa swihdle. A sort Of an
independent government, for example,
was given by Congress few years ago
to Washington city, and in brief time
the city was plunged into debt over
twenty millions, most Of which went into
the pockets Of the bosses" and mem
bers of the 'rng." This is only one
case. Whisky has been constant
source of profit. When. during the war
the two dollars per gallon tax was put on
whisky, 90 millions or more were realiz-
cd and divided as profits; and when the
tax was reduced to fifty cents gallon,
the grab amounted to some eighteen
millions! But the grabbing has been
going on continually. Every once in
while the Administration nabs a fellow
for violating the revenue law, and the
official organs wax loud in praise and
shouts. This was the case few weeks
ago, and it seemed as if the Grant Ad-
minishation was just about to do some
thing and attend tothe distillers and deal
ers who were continually cheating the
Government out of revenue. This
movement however, seems likely to
pan outin disagreeable direction for
the Grant Administration as may be
seen from the following special dispatch
from Washington to the Cleveland
Hsya(4'
DUPLICATING TREASURY OFFICIALS IN
HEwHISKY RING.
WAsHtEGToN, July 9.
The excitement occasioned by the dis
closures duplicating Treasury officials in
the whisky ring has not i'm any degree
died out, but is freely discussed in all
quarters. Certain persons here, who are
perfectly familiar with the inside history
Of the case, say that not only will Mr..
Avery, Chief Clerk ofthc Treasury, and
Mr.. Holt, Chief Clerk in the Internal
Revenue Bureau, be convicted of the
charge but that other Treasury officials
whose names have not yet appeared in
connection with the scandal will also be
implicated. 1t is certain that only a
part of the story has yet been told, and
that when the transactions which have
been going on between Treasury officials
and members of the whisky ring are
fully exposed, the public will regard the
the case
AS sCANDALoUS AS THE FAMOUS SANBoRN
CONTRACTS.
The good name of many Treasury Off
cisls will be tarnished by this exposure,
and the entire Department will feel its
effect, The transactions which have just
been made public have been known
to several high officials here for many
weeks, and is therefore no surprise. To
them persons high in authority say pri-
vately that the evidence already collect
ed is of such a character as to leave no
doubt OF the truthtulness of the part of
the story told by Colonel Megrue as to
the completely Of government officials.
There are rumors connecting some of
the
OFFICIALS OUTSIDE OF THE TREASURY,
but their names are withheld until con-
frmatory evidence can be had. The
more this scandal is looked into the ug-
lier does it appear.

A Man Who Wasn't Elated Over Be-
coming a Millionaire.
Washington Cor. New York Graphic

We stated yesterday, on the authority
OF street rumor, that an uncle Of
Michael Hogan, of West Troy, died re-
Gently in Pennsylvania, leaving coal
lands valued at S., 900, 900, to portion
of which Michael is heir. The rumor
was correct. Forty years ago Michael
Hogan, then q years of age, and an
uncle, the only survivors of once
numerous family, came to this country
and adopted it as their own. Michael,
Woodworking, industrious Young man,
finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went to Pottsville,
Pa, or that vicinity, and, after labor
ing a number of years, purchased with
bis earnings a large tract of land.
Michael also saved money, and in the
course of time laid by enough to start
himself in the grocery business, in
which it can be truthfully said he has
prospered. The venture of his uncle
turned out to be most profitable one.
The lands purchased by him were found
to contain abundance of coal, and by
judicious management he gradually in
creased his earthly store until at the
time of his death, which occurred a few
days ago. he was worth about SIS, 900
OOO Last week Michael received in
formation from an attorney thai his
uncle, with whom he had not communi-
Gated for sixteen years, had died, and
that he was his only surviving her.
Michael was not at all elated at this an
nouncement and appeared rather sorry
in fact that such good fortune had come
to him. He was getting old, he said,
and would not want so much money
besides he had enough for himself, wife
and daughter. and the possession of the
immense amount mentioned above would
only bring trouble and disgrace upon
his family eventually, as young people
nowadays did not know how to spend
money.-1Toy (N. W Times.

"HOSTILE MEETING. -
AiA Affair of Honor Between Two ChiyaI-
rOus MObilians.

Ah AFFAIR OF Honor Between Two Chiyal-
rOus Mobilians.
A Mobile telegram to an Atlanta
paper gives the appended particulars
OF one OF those pleasant little pistol
affairs for which that locality has be-
come famous:
There was hostile meeting between
two well-known gentlemen of this city
yesterday noon, a little way from Grand
Bay, but in the State of Mississippi.
Inc gentlemen were Mr.. A. H. Tardy,
the insurance agent, and DR.. BENJAMIN
u: Lay, the actuary of the Changers
Life and Health Insurance COMPANY.
The origin, as we understand. arose
from a letter from this city to promi-
nent Northern insurance journal. over
the signature of "X. Y. H." making
some comments upon the new company
with which DR.. Lay is connected. On
Monday DR.. Lay met Mr.. Tardy and
asked him if he was the author of a
communication signed "X. Y. H." in
the Spectator. Mr.. Tardy said he was,
wneereupon DR.. Lay slapped his face.
A few words passed between them,
and then Mr.. Tardy sent to DR.. Lay
written message, demanding satisfac-
t1on for the insult, and referring to
Col. James Williams as authorized to
make any necessary arrangements.
The message was answered, granting
any. satisfaction demanded, aud refer
ring to Capt. P. NJ. Murphy as author
lied, on the part Of DR.. Lay, to ar
range matters. The result was the
choice of dueling- pistols, the, meeting
to be out of the State. the distance Ten
PAGES, and the time Wednesday noon.
Mr.. Tardy and his friends left on Tues
day night, and repaired to Grand Bay,
and DR.. Lay and his friends left on
Wednesday morning for the same place.
The parties met, as by agreement,
and took carriages and drove until they
were over the line and in Mississippi.
AS it was agreed upon fer noon as the
time, there was no choice for position.
The distance was measured off, the
antagonists placed, and the dread
question asked, "Gentlemen, are you
ready? Fire one, two, three" At
the word one, a sharp report was heard.
Tardy's pistol fell from his hand, he
clasped his breast convulsively, and
fell-a corpse. DR.. Lay returned to the
city Immediately, and was met on Gov
eminent street by a gentleman who,
not knowing the duel had taken place,
iokingly asked the doctor whom he was
going to shoot? Bursting into tears,
he exclaimed, my God don't ask me
anything about it.

John T. Chamberlin's Washington
Club House is now open in the late resi-

legation, on Farragut square and Cor

1t is the most elaborate and spacious
gaming house and restaurant in the
United States and cost 500, 900. Mr..
Morrlsseys Saratoga Club is prim,
plain, business-like affair compared with
1t. although Morrissy's four large rooms
are larger than any OF Chamberlin' s, but
the interior architecture of the Wash
ington Club is more novel and elegant
than would appear in any house built
especially for gaming purposes. It was
esteemed fit for Prince of the house
OF HanoyerBrunswick to make it his
home, and was erected by one of the
most substantial bankers in the United
States for his durable family mansion.
1twas rented by the British government
Tor &c. 900 a year in gold-equal to
$l2, 600 or more in New York city-and
has been the scene Of the greatest par
ties and receptions ever given in Wash
1ngton, viz, Charles Knapp's grand
social party in 1867 and the state recep-
ton of Prince Arthur in 1870.
This house was built thirty years or
more ago by Elisha Riggs, brother of
George Riggs, the son Of the founder
of the house Of Peabody, Riggs & Co.,
afterward George Peabody & Go. The
Riggs brothers built adjoining each
other, George Riggs expanding upon
his establishment $50, 1000, and Elisha a
less sum, Mr.. Corcoran, their associate,
afterward bought nearly square of
ground between their residences and
Lafayette Cor the President's) square,
and remodeled upon it the old house
occupied by Daniel Webster and Joseph
Gales successfully. There he still re-
sides and the corner of his garden wall
is right across the street from the club
house where Chamberlin presides.
With this wall on one side, Farragut
square open on another side, the stables
of the legation-also owned by Cham
berlin in the rear, and shrubbery
dividing the clubhouse from Riggs,
this casino is both sequestered and
central.
When Mr.. Knapp received this offer
for the legation he waited on George
Riggs and asked if he was willing to
pay $4,000 for the premises. Mr..
Riggs said emo" Hearing that Presi-
dent Grant also desired to buy the
house it was proffered to him with the
same refusal. Having exhausted the
courtesies of business he accepted
Chamberlin's offer. It is understood
that Mr.. Riggs says that he does not
desire better neighbor.

When Confederate Money Was Easy

Money was SO easily got, and its value
was SO utterly uncertain, that we were
never able to determine what was fair
price for anything. We fell into the
habit OF paying whatever was asked,
knowing that tomorrow we should have
to pay more. Speculation became the
easiest and surest thing imaginable.
The Speculation saw no risks of loss.
Every article of merchandise rose in
value every day, and to buy anything
this week and sell it next was to make
an enormous profit quite as matter of
course. So uncertain were prices, or
rather SO constantly did they tend up
ward, that when cargo of cadet gray
cloths was brought into Charleston
once, an officer in my battery, attending
the sale, was able to secure enough of
the cloth to make two suits of clothes,
without any expense whatever, merely
by specializing upon an immediate adj
vance. He became the purchaser, at
auction, of case of the goods, and had
no difficulty, as soon as the sale was
over, in finding merchant who was
glad to take his bargain off his hands,
giving him the cloth he wanted as q
premium. The officer could not posi-
bly, have paid for the case of goods, but
there was nothing surer than that he
could sell again at an advance the mo-
ment the auctioneer's hammer fell on
the last lot of cloths.
I am sometimes asked at what time
prices attained their highest point in
the Confederacy, and L find that mem
DRY fails to answer the question salts
factorily. They were about as high as
they could be in the fall of 1868, and I
should be disposed to fix upon that as
the time when the climax was reached,
but for my consciousness that the law
of constant appreciation was fixed one
throughout the war. The financial con-
dition got steadily worse to the end. I
believe the highest price, relatively, [
ever saw paid, was for pair of boots.
A cavalry officer, entering little coun-
try store, found there one pair of boots

BY NORA PERRY.

She came along the little lane
Where all the bushes dripped with rain,
And robins sung and sung again.
AS if with sudden sheer delight,
FOR such q world so fresh and bright,
TO SWING and sing in day and night.
But coming down the little lane,
She did not heed the robins strain,
Nor feel the sunshine after rain.
"A little face with two brown eyes,
a little form of tender size,
"A little head not very WISE
little heart to match the head,
A foolish little heart, that bled
AT every foolish word was said.
SO, coming down the little lane
Isee her now, my little Jane
Her foolish heart with foolish pain
Was aching, aching in her breast,
And all her pretty golden crest
Was dropping as if sore Opprest.
And something, too, of anger's trace
Was on the flushed and frowning face,
And in the footsteps quickened pace.
So swift she slept, so low she ieant
Her pretty head, on thought intent,
She scarcely saw the way she went
Nor saw the long, slim shadow fall
Across the little, low stone WALL
AS some one rose up slim and tall
Rose up, and came to meet her there:
A youth, with something in his air
That, at glance, revealed his share
In all this foolish, girlish pain,
This grief and anger and disdain,
Ihat rent the heart of little Jane.
With hastier steps than hers he came,
And in moment called her name;
And IN moment, red as flame,
she bIushed, and blushed, and in her eyes
A sudden, soft and shy surprise
Did suddenly and softly rise.
''What, you ?" she cried, 81 thought-they said y
Then stopped, and blushed deeper red,
And lifted up her dropping head,
Shook back her lovely falling HAIR,
And arched her neck, and strove to wear
A nonchalant and scornful air.
A moment thus they held apart
With lovers love and lovers art:
Then swift he caught her to his heart.
What pleasure then was born of pain
What sunshine after cloud and rain,
AS they forgave and kissed again!
Twas April then; he talked of May,
And planned therein a wedding day
She blushed, but scarcely said him nay
What pleasure now is mixed with pain
AS, looking down the little lane,
A graybeard grown, see again,
Through twenty Aprils' rain and mist
The little sweetheart that kissed,
The little bride my folly missed
