WRITES THE FOLLOWING INTERESTING PAR
TICULARS:
To the Editor Of the New York Sun:
SIR-For several years was afflicted with
rupture and suffered from the use Of trussea.
Casually noticing in your paper rec0mmend-
alton Of DR.. Sherman Of your city, and about
the same time meeting Mr.. j. W. Ayres, or
Camden. N. j., who informed that he had boeR
victim, to rupture and was cured by Dr.. Sher-
mans treatment, felt animated and Wene
straightway to New York, consulted Dr. Sher-
man, and had him adapt his remedies to my
case. 1t was to me happy occurrence, and
shall ever feel grateful to you and Mr.. Ayres
for having directed my attention to DR.. Sher-
man, as well as to MIN for the safe and CONF
Portable manner In which he treated my case!
My mind was greatly oppresscd and my future
was shadowed, as was trying various trusseg
for help with no other result than veXation and
injury. But now being sound again, and real,
izing its felicity, feel it my imperative duty
to add my testimony in favor OF Dr. Sherman'E
remedies, and to recommend the rupturcd to 70
to him with the fullest confidence Of being benz
efted
GEO. E. EAKINGs, 1,o31 Palmer St

feels toward DR.. Sherman.
The foregoing remarks from the New York
Sun must be cheering to those who are rup.
tured.
The cure is effected by Dr. SHERMAN'8
method without an operation, simply by eI-
ternal local applications, both mechanical and
medicinal, made daily by the patient, who,
while under treatment, can perform any kind
of labor, or take the most active exercise with
perfect security from dangers OF inflamed and
strangulated rupture, without the suffering and
injury caused by the use OF trusses, and with
out interfering with The progress of cure.

Dickinson, former Attorney General OF the

STRANGUL ATED RUPTURE. .al2.
Mr.. Dickinson suffered intensely, notwith-
standing he had the best surgical aid Every
thing was done that science could suggest, and
as the last remedy the knife used, and yet he
died in great anguish on tile third day. Thia
is a fearful warning to those who are ruptured.

A VOICE FROM THE GOLD STA TE..
THURMAN TO THE FRONT.

The daily Alta Californian, of San
Francisco, has double-leaded leader
calling upon the Democracy of Ohio to
rally to the support of Allen G. Thurman
as the Democratic candidate for Presi.
dent in 1876 The Alta says:
Take him for all in all, Senator Thur
man still seems to US the most available
candidate the Democracy have for the
presidential race
Unless we are mistaken the cry for
Tilden will amount to nothing. The
Democrats have been too unfortunate
with candidates from New York to ac-
cept another, and especially one so en-.
tirely without experience in national
politics as Tilden,
Moreover, the West wants and we
think will have the candidate, and as
between Thurman and Hendricks the
South will prefer the former, who is a
native of Virginia, although for many
years past resident of Ohio.
His personal character is beyond re-
proach, his ability is acknowledged, and
he is probably the strongest man the
Democracy can produce to make cam
paign against the Republican nominee,
and the latter will have to call out all
the full strength Of his party to carry the
day against such competitor.

Wilson died very suddenly at half-past
seven o'clock this morning. 1t having
been represented last night that he had
somewhat improved, and that he would
be able to leave the city for the North
this week, the intelligence of his sudden
death fell with startling force and sud-
denness on the community. The Vice
President seemed on Saturday to be a
great deal better than at any time during
his late sickness, but yesterday he was
not quite 80 well. Postmaster Burt, of
Boston, called on him in the forenoon
and had pleasant conversation with

INDIANA WHISKY FRAUDS.

Indianapolis, Nov. 1S.-Ten members
of the First Revenue District Whisky
Ring were arraigned this morning in the
United States Circuit Court Judge Wal
ter Q. Gresham presiding The names
and vocation ofthe parties are as follows
Gordon B. and John W. Bingham, dis
tillers; Philip c. Eberwine, George I.
Simonson and John E. Phillips, gaugers;
Harrison Miller and David NJ. Lewis
storekeepers, and Dennis O'Riley, John
I. Crisp and Christopher Cocanower, en-
ployes.
All of these men are indicted on the
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
United States out of taxes due the Gov
ernment on two hundred thousand dol.
lars worth Of whisky. On separate counts
Messrs. Bingham, as distillers, are ali
charged with having bribed Messrs.
Simonson, Eberwine, Phillips and Mill
er, Government officials, and they, the
Government officials, are arraigned for
having taken bribes.
The first gentlemen who answered to
their names were Messrs. Bingham
Brothers, John W. and Gordon B. These
men have the highest family and social
standing in Evansville, and their arrest
has thrown an eclipse over the commu-
nifty. 1t was like an eclipse really.
1t is now ten years since they became
identified with the interests of Evansville
as whisky men. Possessed of much tact,
shrewdness and energy, they grew rich
unaccountably fast, until one night last
winter their Evansville distillery was
found to be in operation in the absence
of the storekeeper For this offense thew
were arrested, and promptly paid the
fine of $1,000. Warned was not FORE
armed in their case, and the community
was startled early in April by an order
from the Government to seize the dis.
tiIleries owned by the Binghams at
Evansville and Patoka.
The principal evidences of fraud were
sliding gates and conduits to lead off the
illicitly distilled liquors; secret panels in
partitions to admit ingress and egress
from bonded rooms; duplicate, uncan-
celed and raised stamps; erasing fluid.
and peculiar paste for affixing stamps,
which could thereby be removed with
out detection, &c.
The annual revenue tax paid by the
Binghams amounted to $50O,0OO, and the
extent of their business commanded an
unlimited credit with capitalists of that
