WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-A great many people in
Washington are waiting for an explosion OF the
Whisky Ring in Chicago with evident anxiety. For
obvious reasons, the Treasury officials here have
little to gay on the subject and it is than likely
that the particulars of the Chicago conspiracy will
first reach the public from that city, rather than
from Washington. The names of great number
of public men are connected in private conversation
with these frauds and assertions in regard to some
of them are of very startling natures but of course
it would be unfair and unjust to print these stores
while they do not rise in dignity above mere rumors
To one of them it is proper now to make reference.
1t il that the Secretary Of the Treasury has III his
possession evidence proving the completely OF oena-
tor Logan in the Whisky conspiracy When MI
Bristows at ention was called to this assertion. he
authorized very emphatic denial. He SAID that he
had no such evidence. none had been discovered III
Chicago, and moreover he did not believe that any
such evidence would be discovered Senators VINO
have called on the President within the past lew
DAVIS. and conversed with him in relation to the
Whisky frauds. say that he is very savage THAT -
the word one of them usos) against the Whisky con-
spiraors and that of them who are guilty need
expect any mercy from him. He is slow to believe
in the guilt of mis- friends, but once convinced he
will treat them as severely he would treat
strangers. OF course there IL no more truth III the
late reports, representing that Gen. Grant and Mt
Brstow have quarrcled in regard to the Whisky ex-
posures. or that Mr.. Brstow is likely to leave the
Cabinet than In tho former ones Some OF the
President's personal friends who were interested in
covering up the Whisky frauds, or in stopping the
prosecution of them, have sometimes deceived him,
but they have not succeeded in doing this SO often
lately as they did a few months ago, and whenever
he has had perfect understanding of the matter he
has sustained the Secretary in every way IN his
power.

Washington, Aug. l9-PrOf. Jenney
in letter to the Indian Bureau dated
Black Hills, July 3Ist, says: 1 found
gold in placer deposits on both Spring
and Rapid Greeks, from their head
waters to the point where they emerge
from the hills, and more extended,
prospecting and exploration shows
that in localities in the valleys of
these streams gravel bars, especially
those of older formation, and elevated
above the present level of the streams,
contain gold in Quantities sufficient to
yield a fair remuneration for labor.
economically and skillfully applied,
assisted by proper tools and mechani-
cal appliances, with at least a mnder-
ate amount of capital or its equivalent,
such a system of working rs the
experience of twenty-five years has
taught the miners of the Pacific slope
to employ in working valuable placers.
The deposits, as far as discovered, are
by no means rich or very extensive,
compared with those of California, still
there is enough of precious metal to
develop the country, and stock raising
and agriculture will do the rest. In
testing the deposits on Spring Greek |
worked out particularly rich spot
where a channel has been cut across
by the present bed OF the creek, and
in ten hours work with u small sluice,
obtained five sixth of an ounce of gold,
or about fifteen dollars and fifty cents.
The soldiers had previously panncd
out of the same place not less than
two ounces Of course gold, and in
measuring the amount of gravel
washed, found that the total yield
was at the rate of four dollars per cubic
yard, or about three cents to the pan.
AS all average, for the whole thickness
of the deposit, it was truly said of this
region, that there was gold in the very
roots of the grass, but it is not the
gold of the gravel bars or quartz lodges,
nor the gold of the miner or geologist.l
Suit has been entered by the Depart
ment of Justice, against Capt. Maddox
the marine corps, and the bondsmen
of Messrs. Barnum, contractors for
furnishing clothing to the marine
corps, to recover funds alleged to have
been illegally paid said contractors.
Carrie V. Fischer, colored school
teacher of Mississippi, has brought
suit in the Supreme Court of this dis
trict, against the Pullman Palace car
company, claiming $4,000 for their
refusal to allow her to travel on Pal
are car from Cincinnati to Washing
ton.

Pottsville, Aug. 19-At Tamaqua
last evening the rain poured down in
torrents for nearly two hours. Cellars
were submerged, billiard tables floated
and a number of saloons have been
compelled to suspend business. Trains
were delayed by land slides in the
lower portion Of the borough where
the scales are located for weighing
coal, covering the track for long dis
tance five or SIX feet deep. The Cen
tral Railroad Of New York was washed
out and the culverts and bridges de-
stroyed.

Chicago, Aug. ia Washington
special says that the State department
people are much chagrined over the
escape of the Uruguay with supplies
fol Cuban volunteers. There has been
most perfect system of cooperation
between the Spanish authorities here
and Hamilton Fish in all endeavors
to prevent anything i'm the way Of
substantial sympathy being extended
to the Cuban insurgents. The Edgar
Stuart was the last privateer that has
attempted to assist the Cubans. She
was prevented from sailing by the care
full spy system of the Spanish service in
this country, and the earnest efforts of
our government, as represented by
Mr.. Fish. The Spanish people COM
plain very much of the administra-
tion, as represented by the President,
being so much in sympathy with the
Cubans, and openly claim that if Mr..
Fish had been in tonw at the time that
they received their first Information
concerning the Uruguay, the depar-
ture would never have been permitted.
The State Department is at present
under the charge of young Cadwalal-
der, and his management ofaffairs has
given great deal of dissatisfaction.
There is no belief here that the Urua-
quay will be captured. The naval
officer detailed to pursue her would
not make amy capital for himself by
being too Jealous in the discharge OF
his duty. The Navy Department
people are making much out of the
affair at Tripoli, where reparation is
to be demanded for an insuIted consul.
1t is expected that by this time every
man, woman and child in Tripoli has
been ground into the dust in being
taught that no insignificant power can
venture to insult the United States
with impunity.

Augusta, Ga, Aug. 19.-Arrests of
alleged negro oinsurrectionists in john
son, Washington and Jefferson coun-
ties were cnotinued to-day. Thirteen
armed negroes came into Wrightsviile
and surrendered themselves. In Burke
county collision between the whites
and blacks seems hourly imminent.
Both races are under arms, and the
negroes are reported massed a few
miles from Waynesboro. The white
scouts were fired on by the negroes this
forenoon. The Burke county people
sent here to-day for troops, but Gov.
Smith declined to let any companies
go. A number of volunteers left for
Waynesboro tonight, and it is feared
a fight will soon take place. About a
hundred arrests have been made in
different counties.
