IrRoM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRTBuHBI
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. The officers OF the
Treasury Department have received no official no
tice of the fight of Joyce, the st. Louis Revenue
Official implicated in the whisky frauds. Knowing
no reason why he should leave at this Time they are
little inclined to doubt the truth OF the report.
The impression that the dister' and rectrfiers OK
ST. Louis who have been indicted with the Revenue
officers have interest in getting Joyce away 20 AZ
to prevent him from being used as n witness against
them is an erroneous one. The Government has
never thought Of using any Of its own guilty officers
as witnesses to convict the dstilers but proposes to
make the prose cuton against them especially vgor
ous much more reasonable theory IL that Joyce
fears that the dstillers and rectiGers will tnm
against him. rs some of them have already threat
ened to do Mr. Beyis of the firm Of Bevis & Fra
ger one of the houses that was caught in the manu-
facture If unlawful whisky, came TO Washington
two months ago. more and after trying IN vain 70
effect q compromise went away saying that he IN
tended to make Joyce and Mcdonald sweat fog

The impud, nee of these two dishonest officials would
be very amusing were it not 80 grave matter Mr.
Mcdonald called on a Treasury official who visited
St. Lous in May in reference to the whisky ihyesti-
CATION and advised him to arrange compromise
for a good round sum- He said that they-Joyce,
Mcdonald and the Treasury Dcpartment--conld
then take hold of politics and run things to suit
themselves. The disters, he said, would be sener-
GUS with their money. The inference from this con-
versaion was, that if Secretary Brstow would nos
nress them TOO hard they would manage things in his
political interest. OF course, these propositions were
not listened to for a moment, but they show the
depth of the corruption that has prevailed Mr.. Nc
Donald seemed to think that he was fully justified
in what he had done, by the fact that he and his
friends had defeated the reflection Of ex-senator
Scburz.
Although none Of the st. Louis whisky cases can
be tried for nearly two monthsthey are now IN very
favorable condition. The Treasury officials believe
that they will have no trouble in cOnvictng dir
honest disters ana rccters and unfathfulo lucals.

The End In Louisiana.

The end has been reached in Louisiana

mobs and murder.
The satisfaction Of the country over this
result is such that it does not care to 90

in that State.

him as the legal Governor of Louisiana
Either they we're wrong then, or they are
stultiied now. The fact shows that the
question was one of passion rather than
patriotism. one Of partisan hatred rather
than love Of State-of revenge rather than
right: And while all rejoice that the trouble

may be lasting is more important to Lou
