Circumstances Alter Cases.

In recent number of the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN Ia published an appeal to the
property owners OF the city of New Orleans
in behalf Of the claims of the Now Orleans
Pacific railway. Under . recent act of the
Legislature the proposition is to be submit
whether the property in that oity shall be
taxed two and onehslf mills on the dollar
per snnum for four years to aid the con.
structl0n of said road. In support of the
claims Of the road, tho signers of the sp.
peal (nearly or quite 500 names in al, em-
braeing most Of the business talent and
capital of tho c,ty). use the following
language; "This road, when completed, It
10 undisputed, will restore to our city .
eatlve trade which has been diverted into
other and alien channels, will stay tho
ruinous downward tendency Of real
estate Of this parish, now almost without
saleable or rentable value; will cause Q 10.
turn Of profitable business to our NOR
chants, traders and manufacturers; will fur
nish remunerative employment to hum
dreds OF eduoated young men, who are now
living IN enforced idleness and undeserved
poverty, and will double the present rate
OF wages obtained BY skilled and uuskilled
workmen." etc. We feel Rratifed With
this clever and comprehensive testimony ~
to tho causes that diminished the trade,
wasted the commerce, and depreoisted tho
value Of property in New Orleans. Tho
language above quoted from the appeal
over the nance of almost all the substantial
business men and firms in that city ex-
presses substantially what We have always
believed. But when the cause of White
Lesgusism was 1t stake before tho oon-

THE WHISKY TRIALS.
Firse Days PrsceeAisss.

Tho case Of the United States 70. Edward
Fehrenbsch and many others was COM
meuced yesterday morning.
Tho accused are Edward Fehrenbach.
Otto II. Karstendiek. William M. Todd,
John r. Beals, Paul Bruce, Joha Nc
Whirter and G. w. Wills. ...... . ...
Nothing was demo yesterday except to
impanel jury, who then listened to an
admirable opening for tho prosecution BY
John H. New, Esq.
Counsel for the defense Arst wished to
know on what Indictment the accused
were to be tried, and District Attorney
Beckwith stated that it was that of con-
spiraoy to detraud the United States.
More than twelve Of those summoned a.
jurymen passed the examination. Under
the rule they took their seats until peremp-
torily challenged by either side. As finally
completed the jury was composed Of the
following gentlemen:
Victor Dareusburg, V. E. Sarrazin,
AlPhonse Drez, James P. Walsh,
James Lee, o. s. Bsbcock.
Charles Oglesby, A. +. Wrotnowski,
D0minick Labrano, Charles Benson.
John H. Blackstone, Wellington West.
A recess was then taken for ten minutes.
After the recess Mr.. New opened the case
to the jury. He read the indictment, which
charged all tho parties with attempting to
defraud the United States by evading the
revenue laws. He detailed the forms it
was necessary for every distiller to follow
before he could lawfully commence busi-
ness. The law prescribed oaths to be
taken; the government must be perfectly
informed of every detail of the business; .
plan in triplicate must be furnished; the
position of every tub. the direction of each
pipe, which must be oolored according to
the liquid that flowed through, the number
of bushels Of grain purchased. all must be
furnished on oath. He proposed to show
under the indictment that the officers Of
the government were charged that these
laws were carried out. To illustrate he
presented . model, which happened to be
of Fehrenbach's distillery. In the distillery
room the gsuger protected the government.
A distiller was required to have his products
60 to warehouse. Here the day and night
keepers, officers Of the United States, pro-
tected the government against fraud. The
prosecution would shsw that no fraud
could exist unless there WAS collusion. In
this case it would show that of 50 900 bar.
rels statement was only made of 10000.
Tho government would also show false
entries on the books, and that about &c, 900
barrels of mash were unaccounted for.
Tho United States had been dsfrauded Of
$sS, 900 tax BY . conspiracy and combina-
ton.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. News opening
Judge Woods said the court would adjourn
to to-day ct 10 A. H., and sit till 5 p. NJ,
with twenty minutes recess.
Mr.. Hunt, fer the defense, suggested that
the rdle be modified 90 that the jury might
be allowed to separate and not be locked
up.
Judge Woods said tho case was too in
portant, but every effort would be made to
insure the comfort of those on the Jury.
Counsel should remem Der that the jury
were prisoners and make their confinement
as short a. possible. &c..
The court then adjourned.
