CHICAGO, April 27.-The Tribune will
say, editorally, tomorrow:
"There is the strongest evidence OF q
combination having been effected be-
tween the whisky ring and the Demo-
cratic investigators at Washington
for the purpose of blackening
the name of Bristow before the
people The motives Of one party
to this plot are revenge and hate, and
ofthe other ambition for power and the
possession of Office. A series OF articles
backed up by perjury, have been arrang-
ed, and may be expected. This
was tacitly admitted by Mr.
Cole lately, who refused to
state ut whoss instance he
pressed the Mary Merritt. 1t is evident
by the attempt to the mule slsnder
and by the representation of statement
falsely attributed 10 Suits Kentucky dis.
tiller. There are other more conyinc-
ing proofs of the truth of this charge.
Bristows premature exposure OF the
con. .piracy, will, If the programme pro-
CO d be followed by moIe circumstantial
exposure of facts presented
under the hideousness which
charsct,r d the exposures of the
Washington safe burglary. There will
be full showing unless the scheme be
abandoned, of the most Infamous plot
ever conceived to break down honesty
and rob merit of its own.
The Tribune predicts the most COM
plete overthrow Of the vile combination
of conspirators against the fearless Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and that q rebuke
will be given them st the coming con-
yention.

Circuit CONT Decision.

NASHVILLE, April 27.-The United
States Circuit Court, Judges Emmons and
Twigg, to day pronounced decision in
the cases of the Northern stockholders OF
the Union and Planters banks against
the directors of those banks, for comply.
ing with the demand of Governor lsham
q. Harris, :in ols6l, to purchase over a
million dollars worth of war bonds
of the State. The case turns on the
point whether the funds were furnished
voluntarily or by ::coeresion. The court
held that from the proof the loan
OF funds was not voluntary and that
the animus of the directors so far as in.
dicated shows only the desire 10 save the
remainder OF the funds to the stock hold
ers. The case was argued some time
ago by Montgomery Blair and
others; afterwards demurrers were
overruled by Judge Swayne and
the defendants were compelled to answer,
and at the hearing just concluded, de-
cision was rendered in favor of the de-
tendants. Judge Sbsckford for the COM
plainants, prays an appeal to the su'
preme Court.
