THE GOVERNMENT MILL.
Release Of Messrs. B0uchard and
Lapointe.
Seven Indictments in Crooked
Whisky.
Two Gaugers Dismissed.

The unusual activity displayed around the
District Attorneys Office in the Custom
House augured q heavy days work for the
Grand Jury; but, when the oouft opened, it
appears that everything was not prepared for
them, for the Judge discharged them until
o'clock. There was in attendance cloud Of
witnesses, supposed to be in the cotton cases.
It will be remembered that, o few days ago;
Messrs Bouchard and Lspointe were sent to
prison by Judge Woods for contumscy in not
delivering up certain written evidence in their
possession. Sunday morning they signiied
their willingness to comply with the order Of
court, and District Attorney Beckwith took
them in carriage from the Parish Prison and
was driven to the house of third party, where
al the papers and documents were found.
The prisoners were thereupon released.
Nothing has been heard from the indictment
brought in last Friday, and the report 80 CON-
fidently asserted that it was against Col E. E.
Norton, has not been verified. The mystery
is still as dark as ever.
Yesterday afternoon, having had session
of over three hours, the Grand Jury came
into court with some seven indictments, all
for conspiracy in the crooked whisky bust
ness. It is said that they are against those
owning the Hammond distillery and MI.
O'Bnen. The arraignments will probably take
place to-day.
Outside the Grand Jury's action, it appears

A HOME ARTICLE The Louisiana Remedy,
which has become within the past few years,
SO highly priced and widely used throughout
the country, is made in this CITY. at LOG Camp
street. Recently, we casually dropped in at
this establishment and witnessed the process
of manufacturing this remarkable remedy,
and was much interested. The manufacturer,
whom We have long known to be most repu-
table citizen, assured US that all the ingredi.
ents used are grown in this State the princi-
pal one being product Of our swamps, the
medicinal qualities of which were discovered
by the Southern Indians.
The Louisiana Remedy is rapidly growing
into favor throughout the United States, ship
ments being now made to two thirds of the
States of the Union. It is simple, pleasant
to the taste, and perfectly innocuous, and
thousands sfn;cted with diseases Of the throat
and lungs have testified to its curative
powers.
We have seen eleven manuscript pages Of
names Of persons of this city, besides many
letters from other States, recommending its
use in the strongest terms.
In addition to its acknowledged virtue, its
manufacture is q home enterprise, and there
fore commends itself to our favor.

BEFORE THE COMMITTEE

o'clock yesterday, and without being sworn l
made statement to certain members of the
committee of the facts in the case more
briefly, but substantially as I have now
answered in reply to your chief interrogato-
ries: when I returned to the hotel yesterday
afternoon, DR.. Tomlinson was waiting at my
room at the Arlington to see me; he asked
me how got along with the committee;
told him had told the story from beginning
to end, and at tho request of the gentlemen
present, was going to reduce it to writing,
and appear before the committee to-day at
1890 with it
He wanted to know how I had stated the
fact that all these payments to the Secretary
had been made in consequence of the original
agreement with Mrs. Bslknap; said I had
stated the facts as they were according TO- my
best recollection and belief; I told him I
would furnish him q copy of the statement
would make before the committee; l prepared
the statement last night, and gave him copy
about o'clock this morning, being substan-
TALLY copy of that submitted as an answer
to your chief interrogatory, save that l have
filled up the blanks
DR.. Tomlinson came back to my room at
about 1880 O'Clock last evening, and asked
him whether he had seen Mr.. Blackburn
since had made my statement in the afternoon
and what impression it had made upon the
gentlemen who heard it; he said he did not
like to say he had seen Mr.. Blackburn, but,
he said, he had sen one of the committee,
who expressed the opinion that my statement
would involve the Secretary.
He then made . stronger appeal to me than
ever before, saying that was the friend of
the Secretary that if this thing came out it
would ruin him that his wife was in great
distress about it, and he himself, as her
brother and friend of the family, was in great
trouble, and that if could state said !:
"Stop, DR.. Tomiinson, have about finished
my written statement, and will read it to
you. :"
I then read it to him; he said he did not
see but that it was all right; that things could
be explained yet if they could prove that this
money was originally sent to Gen. Belknap
by Mrs. Belknap's order; Gen. Belknap would
be subpenead, and would prove to the COM
mittee that Mrs. Bslknap's estate IS entirely
separated from his, and that this money,
received through me, he had always kept dis
tinct from his and for her.

treated him the way she had on the previous
