allowed 10 romain at largo upon bail, skipped
over to Canada, but has returned, 1t bcgins to
bo apparent how the Whisky Ring have
played It On tho Court Mt Milwaukee. NOEL
14Hn would hnyo been valuable witness for
tho Government, which m amciioration OF
his sentence might havo induced him TO be-
come. Bat ho skipped. Upon his return ho
walkod into Court to surrender himself, and
asked that tho forfeiture Of his ball might DO
set aside. Inquiry elected from his counsel
tho interesting statement that his bontlsmon
Ind been fully secured by mcmbera OF the
ring. b1oEL1ER's departure for Canatla took
place when the cases against them woro
about to DO tried, md his return WIS aftor
thoso had been disposed Of. That Is, his
bondsmcn had bcon Unidentified for letting
him run nway, which 1t Is understood ho WIS
paid to do, 80 that ho might not DO used as
witness against cortain of tho Ring; md,
their cascs orer, the Ring have him return
and coolly ask to be lot OF from payment of
tho bail which thoy haa him forfeit. Tho
public will now await further proceedings in
this matter with interest, in order to learn
whether tho Inv is inoperative to punish
those who tanper with justice in such faahion.

Tho repeal Of thoae taxes and tie authority

Congress cannot Ignore tho fact that tl,ore
aro four thousand millions Of dollars Of
indebtedness now outstanding; that this in
debtedncas WIS contracted in papcr mover
worth over 65 cents on tho dol1ar, and that
any scheme which viii arbitrarily and sum-
marily deprive these debtors Of tho paper in
which to pay thcir debts, aud which shall
arbitrarily add Ii to II por cont to each mans
debts, will work an injury and outrage,
threatening tho payment of the dcbta at oil,
and mn injury which, rs we hnve shown, Is
wholly unnecessary aud may readily DO avoid

monts of all thcao paper contracts at
