why Bingham is Free.

AuulauApOl1S correspondence OF the ClnCin-
natl Commercial.
The mystery regarding the delay in SEN
fencing John W. Bingham, convicted more
than half a year ago of whisky fraud. bids
fair to be unraveled. 1t is now unde( tood
that Mr.. Bingham is at large, though not
acquitted, because of an arrangement made
with the United States Attorney General.
During Bingham's trial here there were GER
tain kilograms from Hoag which he refused
to surrender iD his own defence. This was
with the understanding that he should turn
over those documents for the benefit Of
Babcock at st Louis. AS the proof of the
pudding is in the eating, so the evidence Of
the Attorney Generals completely in the ar
rangement is given in the fact that, shortly
after Mr.. Bingham used the kilograms
where they would do most good, q letter
was received from the Attorney General d.
recting the authorities not to move in the
matter of sentencing Bingham, as his testi-
mony was needed In the prosecution of New
York cases. The New York cases have
long since been disposed Of and that pre-
tence no longer exists. i.''' 80

To-day all the mills in Fall River cut
down ten per cent. in the wages of opera
tives. Much dissatisfaction is felt by the
hands, and although but comparatively
little is said, it is easy to see tha the feel
ing is intense among the operatives. Manu-.
facturers say this cut-down is thei- only
alternative; they must either do it or close
up. The Sprague Mills in Cranston and
other parts of Rhode Island are either
closed or running with small help. At Bal
tic the mills shut down Saturday night, and
l ,OOO operatives were thrown out of en-
ployment. 1t is expected that there will be
another suspension of A. & W. Sprague &

trustee), on account of default of interest

Thus far Mr.. John VByrne has no
been . party to the fair and just charge
of tho HERALD against the Sheriff of tn,
county, but under the inspiration of'sherif
Lambson the Gazette has assailed tn,
professional character of the writer. MI
George Gray and Mr.. John Rodney, both
of whom are gentlemen, can testify, ani
did honorably bear witness in open cour
to the deceit practised upon Mr.. OByrn,
bya "high-toned" member Of the bar; in
the case of Mrs. Mary McCann. So
marked and palpable was the deceit prac-
tised upon Mr.. O'Byrne, that Chief Justice
Gilpin, who was no friend Of Mr.O Byrne's,
was shocked at the public breach of faith
in open court, BUT AS THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN COUNSEL WAS NOT REDUCED Fo
WRITING, THE LAWYER OPPOSED TO MIR.
o'BYRNE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS BREACH
OF FAITH. This is the sum of Mr..
OByrues shortcomings in Mrs. McCann's
case. An insinuation is flung into the
"Gazette" article about the character
Of the people who publish the HERALD
Their character is as good, in head,
brains, morals, or heart as that of either
the Gazette" or the eherif,and they pub
licly, and above board ask comparison, and
the comparison must result in their favor.
We now reiterate the charge against the
Sheriff, and demand an investigation by
the Levy Court. 4
I. That the Sheriff has fed his prison
ers upon sinking meat. !
II. That he charges the county forty
oents per day, for that which is only worth
twenty; hence cheating the county of
aboot 81, 900 per year.
III. That while pretending to give
prisoners coffee we have the chemical anal
ysis Of his stuff to prove, that rye, turnips,
carrots, and beans, are imposed upon the
prisoners as coffee.
~, That if reports be true, his prison is
a place Of torture from bugs, &c.
If such an organ as the Gazette" that
never had manly or independent thought
in its existence, sustains such crimes
against humanity, God help the sustainers,
and approvers of such course. We pub,
licly challange the Sheriff, and the "Ga-
zette" into the Courts of our county,
upon the truth Of what we charge,
and although not party to previous quar-
rel, we accept endorse, and promise to sus-
tain all that have been said. So that no
mistake may be made, we adpend our name
as the writer, and accept the entire respon-
sibility in the case.
