| WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 10.-Thcre
Is every indication that Secretary Bris-
tow will let Gen. Henderson slide with
out making solitary effort to protect
him. The removal OF the special assis-
tant-rttOrney general Is regarded here rs
an evidence that President Grant, terri
fled by the near approach OF q GRIM
visagcd prosecution which he cannot
otherwise check has determined to In
terfere and stop the further slaughter Of
hts friends. As u matter of course. the
Babcock and Avery crowd are cores
pondingly jubilant and pronounce this
summary action 4 practical end of the
whisky war.
Talk with Colonel Dyer. Ia
tFrom the 81 Louis Times, III

Office yesterday, where he found the col
onel surrounded by swarm Of reporters
and newspaper correspondents. Colonel
Dyer sat In thoir midst unmOved and, a.
the sequel showed, with no intention Of
moving his tongue. lie was IN an cx-
ccllent h,lmor and talked about anything
except the subject the reporters t-lt most
interest in. However, his failure to fur
nish news did not proceed from churllsh-
ness or an indispOsitiOM to accommodate
the reporters, but simply, Us he said, be-
cause he had nothing to tell. lie denied
the story set aAoat during the afternoon
to the effect that lac purposed rendering
his resignation because of General Hen
derson's removal. When asked whom he
purposed appointing to succeed General
decide before tomorrow to-day.)
The Times reporter asked IL the prose-
cutiOn was ut all demOralized, to which
Col. Dyer emphatically replied, mo sir;
we are In excellent fighting trim. and
propose to prosecute every indicted man
to the bitter end. We will not allow any
guilty man to escape II energy, earn
estness and evidence will convict him.
