In great danger Of destruction, as 1t Is, as
you may remember, Immediately across

connection with this matter was the ener-
gy and fertility Of resources Of the peo.
pie here, which enabled them, long before
the fire was Subdued, 10 provide suitable
rooms for both branches OF the Legisla.
ture and rooms for the committees. All
business could have gone on as usual
after two o'clock Of that day.
This Ia an excellent community and

Crooked whisky In the Courts,

INDIANAPOLIS, December l3.-In the
United States District Court the entire
morning session was occupied in the hear
ing Of the evidence Of John W. Bingham,
whose appearance on the witness stand
was the signal for some interesting reve.
lations regarding persons and matters d.
rectly connected with the Indiana whisky
ring, Of which he was the leading spirit
and prime mover. With reference to
Mr.. Hill, the witness observed that he
had known him as a revenue officer for
about two years, and had told Dennis and
others Of his employees not to fear the dc.
lendant in the capacity Of a Government
official, as he was all right, Witness
paid the defendant regularly at the
first OF every month Tor not peach.
Ing on him, and his average assess.
ment for keeping government officials
mum was $1,000 per week. These bribes
were given to Hill at Binghams Office
In Evansville. Bingham also related in
detail the circumstance OF his having
given Simon I. Powell, Revenuesupervi.
Sor, a gold watch chain on the occasion OF
the latter's visit 10 Evansville. lie said
when he presented the chain he did II for
the purpose Of showing the official char
aCter OF Powell, and that such a gift
might benefit him some time. Bingham
stated that Powell had received occasional
letters from Hill with reference to the
whisky Irregularities, but could not pro.
duCe any OF them. lie also observed that
one.third Of the whisky he manufactured
was crooked and even then he lost so
heavily as to neCessitate the shutting
down Of the 81. Louis distillery. Hiram
Brownlee was given $500 by the witness
on the occasion Of his attending the mar.
riage OF Henry Veatch, at Evansville.
With reference to Charles Il. Marsh,
agent Of the 4. & 9. road, debating whole
day as to whether he would accept the
bribe for making false entries Of the
whisky shipped, the witness said Marsh
did not hesitate thirty seconds. Gen.
Veatch was then recalled and examined
at considerable length.
Phillip Sivens testified to the shipment
OF n number Of barrels Of whisky from
Patoka without stamps, and when the
matter was reported he said he could not
make case out Of II. With the latter
witness the evidence for the prosecution
closed and the evidence for the defence
commenced, Gen. Veatch, Jos. II. Nc.

testified to the good character Of the de-

The Explosion at BremerhOien.

@~S A4FAVAAVH At REGlHeEn0Aeu'
The tenor Of our dispatches this morn
ing indicates that the explosion Of dyna-
mite which occurred on the quay at
Bremerhofen, causing the death Of fifty or
sixty persons and the mangling Of some
forty others, besides doing considerable
damage to the ship Mosel, was the pre-
mature development Of plot which none
but a liend could entertain. 1t Is
thought the terrible explosive was being
taken on board the ship with the deliber-
ate design Of blowing the vessel with It's
freigh tOf human life to atoms in mid
ocean. What cOntrivanCe may have
been arranged in the box in which
the terrible explosive was conceal
ed for the accomplishment of the
horrid design, will probably never
be known, Had what is thought to have
been plot, which makes one shudder to
contemplate, been successfully carried
out, one more ship would have been
added to the long list Of those that have
gone down in the mighty waters, leaving
not even a wreck to indicate the manner
Of their fate, He'll haS no fend with
which the author Of such a plot could Re
compared, and the ingenuity OF man has
never invented u cruelty adequate to the
punishment Of such crime. 1t ia to be
hoped that, II the theory entertained Is
we'll founded, the German authorities
will leave nothing undone to ferret out
the author Of the plot.

LOUISVILLE, December 13.-A special
to the Courier.JOurndi from Greensboro
KY, saysa shooting aiIray occurred there
at s o'clock to-day, between George W
Murphy and a butcher named William
McAleer. Four shots were fred, three
by McAleer and one by Murphy
McAleer's last shot struck Murphy above
the eye and killed him instantly. Muir
phys shot struck McAleer In the left
breast near the nipple, and caused death
in about ten minutes. The cause Of the
difficulty was n dispute about claim by
McAleer Of debt Of 81. Murphy had
caused the arrest Of McAleer about one
month since, and in return McAleer had
published Murphy as dead beat.

OUR MISSOURI LETTER.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec, 10, 1876

COLUMBIA, Mo, Dec. 10, 1875.
Editors Of the IntelgencCr,
AS | am at this time temporary
locker on In this pleasant little city,
which, by the way, Is called the "AthenS"
Of Missouri, | thought perhaps q few
lines In regard TO II and the country round
about would not be unacceptable to your
readers. The city contains some 4 800 in
habitants, and Is chiefly known for It's
State University and It's two Female Col
leges. The former institution claims an
attendance Of some 800 students and like
the Michigan University educates both
sexes. There are quite a number Of
ladies In attendance, but the large pro-
portion Of pupils are males. This re-
suits probably from the presence OF the
two Scminaries alluded 10, each Of which
have about 100 students. One Of them
Is under the patronage Of the Christian
(DisCiples) Church, and tho other under
the regular Baptists,
The University has for Ia President
Prof. Daniel Read, formerly Of New
York State, but for long time a resident
OF the West. The Christian Female Col
lege Is presided over by Prof. J. Klrtly, q
scholarly and courteous gentleman Of
long experience as an educator. The
course ol studies at the institutions seem
10 be extensive and at the same time thor
ough. This was my impression gained
from brief but very pleasant visit a
short time agO.
The other Colege-the Baptist instilu-
tion-is presided over by the Rev. DR.. Il.
s. Dulin, formerly Of the Female College
at Lexington, in this State. 1t also stands
very high in the public estimation. In
deed the town and surrounding country
are well of as respects educational adj
vantagcs.
The Missouri University formerly
claimed ns one Of its professors your
distinguished citizen and most worthy
Governor, the Hon. John j. Jacob, who
for several years filled the chair Of Bellies
Lettres and Ia kindly remembered by
many people hereabOuts. The Univer-
sity has at this time as one OF It's profess
sofs, Prof. s. s. ITamill, teacher Of elOcu-
tion, formerly Of Bethany College, in your
State.
You may readily infer from the loca-
ton Of these various schools OF learning
In their midst that the people Of Colum.
bia are refined and intelligent, which Is
indeed tho case. They have the name,
and, as 1 think, very deservedly too, Of
being an exceedingly courteous and hos
pitubIe people. The Impressions made
upon stranger are most agreeable, and
II Ia no wonder that visitors go away
strongly prepoSseSScd in favor Of Column
bia.
The place itself as business centre is
rather slow, and yet the spirit Of enter
prise Is not lacking. Recently the little
city has been lighted with gas, which 10 n
step in the right direction, and now II they
would only build some good paved walks
locomotion by day or night would be
much improved.
Your correspondent proposes in q day
or two going over to another town Situa-
ted on the Mississippi, some distance
from here, where perhaps you may hear
from him again. In the meantime con.
sign this sketch to your columns or your
waste basket, as the case may be.

WASHINGTON, December l3.-The
Democratic members Of the House met in
caucus this afternoon in the Hall OF the
House OF Representatives, Mr.. Lamar in

offered q resolution for the appointment
by the Chairman OF u Democratic Exec

citizens Of the District Of Columbia, and
Mr.. Cox offered n resolution providing
for the appointment by the Chairman OF
committee OF eleven members to suggest
10 the caucus at future meeting
such a line Of policy or action as TO
public measures rs would best serve
the interests Of the country. These reso-
lutions were, after a debate, agreed to.
During this incidental discussion there
was harmony OF views with regard to
the duty Of the majority Of the House.
All agreed that they should as far a. pos
sible effect the reduction OF taxation, and
that the government should DO hereafter

sibility devolved on the majority OF the
House, although the Senate was not pOlit-
ically in accord with them. The country
desired the stOppage Of corruption and
wasteful expenditures, and the DemoCra-
cy could not expect the people to stand
by them unless they stood by the people.
No business apart from that above men,
