A!corn and Jones arrive anil are firmly
established in their seats, the case of
Iinchback will be taken UP and dis
posed Of; the case las assumed a new
phase since the Withdrawal of McNI;l
Ian, and the administration people say
that Pinclb6ck will receive allros. the
entire Republican votc Of the Senate
for his admission. They argue that
II he IS rejected. Louisiana will be
k"pclessly Democratic, and will be as
sure for the next Democratic candidate
for President Is Georgia or Kentucky,
thus his rejection will be throwing TO
the Democracy the las: b.: cne Of the
Southern States, that one is South Car
DINA. They think that Chamberlain
means soon 10 tiru over to the Demo-
Gratis, so that the Democrats will enter
the next campaign with n certainty Of
eve-y state south OF the Mason and
Dixon line for their candidate. They
say that the Republican party is, on
u fair vote, justly entitled 10 South
Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana
and Mississippi, but ii they sit still and
allow matters 10 80 on us they have
been, rs inStanccd hy the recent case of

CHICAGO, Dec. I6.
Additional from St. Louis with refer
erce to eX-Cullcctor Murdock's Mill
davit Is Of interest. Murdoch had been
approached and urged i'll every way, he
says, by Joyce and Mcdonald to ioiu
the mig. lie was promised the control
"f NIL distillcrics in his district if he
would promise n square divide. He
says he positively refused, although Ia.
became fully aware of its operations.
suddenly he was removed in the Spring
OF 1913. Suspccting that joyce and
Mcdonald had caused his dismissal he
went to ST. Louis and drew up IN nfii-
uavl!, Ill which, with considerable mr.
tlcnlarity Of detail, the frauds then be
ing committed upon the revenue were
set forth. 4 copy of the affidavit WAS
taken, md after being securely cnyel-
opcd ana addressed to President Grant
was deposited i'll the P~ostOiiicc in ,hc
presence OF Witnesses. \ rcuucgt wns
endorsed on the envelope for u safe re-
turn to the sender If lot taken ont Ly
the party to whom il was addressed
The package was sent Oh the 9Th OF JAN
unry, 1871, and after waiting a month
Murdoch not hearing from it, in Angu,t
he dispatched another to the pTcsi.
dents Secretary, o. J.. Bahcock. after
taxing the precautions and proof ms Ec-
fore. Another month passed hv, and
no notice being tnkcm Of tho con,iuuni-
cation, n third copy was made and
transmitted By mail to Secretary of the
Treasury Richardson. This having
found the fate OF its predecessors ,Lt,
writer concluded that the ring was rot
only IL strong one, but II very broad ore.
Last Summer Murdock went 10 St.
Louis again aud met Mcdonald and
Joyce, who repToGchcd him with Lciu,
the cause. OF all their trouble, which
had illuminated ut that time. and
committed an assault upou him.
lie says that nobody besides himself
Knew OF tho purpurt Of his nnidRvils
except the Judge who verified TO the
copies, and that it was imrossibic for
Joyce or Mcdonald to know that lie
h"d taken any steps to expose them,
unless they lad obtained their knowl-
edge from either the President, Sccrc-
tary Richardson or General Enbcock.
lhiS testimony il is believed, with that
which exists in the form Of kilograms
signed by Iiubcock; kilograms which
lie now admits to have sent, will
establish liHUcock's guilt beyond n
doubt III tho minds Of any Jury, even
though il gives little or no credit To
the testimony Of distilIcrS who were 40
frequently assured by Joyce that Iab-
c0cl: was taking care of the Innttcr ut
Washington. Whether Murdock's nli-
dhYlt ever reached the President is
not known.
In another special Mcdonald is repre-
scented to have denied making the con
fcssion Of guilt alleged yesterday, but
speaks Of n visit to Washington and IN
attempt 10 have Bristow removed ON
the grounds that the whisky disclosures
would damage tho Republican party.
