suppressing the commissions cent to

out Of reach OF the committee, which
he refused to do. About transactions

\ Tribute TO Democracy and Its states
men.

New York World
The Democratic party has reason to
be proud Of the self-respecting behavior
OF is statesmen who are chiefly named
for the Presidency. Neither one OF the
gentlemen whom the Herald calls the
Democratic 'triumyirs," Tilden, Of New
York, Thurman, Of Ohio, or Bayard, OF
Delaware, is now or has at any tlme
been diverted from the straightforward
performance Of his public trusts by
ambition to become, or to be regarded
as, candidate for the White House.
Senator Bayard sticks to his duties
in the Senate with the fidelity, the
zeal, and the high-toned spirit which
have won for him SO young his leader
ship in that body; Senator Thurman
contributes to it's daily debates as freely
rs ever the vigorous logic, the sterling
sense, and solid learning which have
long made him the protagonist Of his
party and so highly-prized and SO trust
ed a Senator with the whole country
and Gov. Tilden keeps pegging away at
the business Of the State of New York,
the reform of its administration, the re-
duction of its taxation, and the purify
ing of its public life, as if there were no
other government from Maine to Texas
except that government Of the State of
New York which it is his present bust
ness to conduct.

THE WHISKY CASE. :


E&sAC hh6Ihsb 1UW mWW WIN tM8S SCOs
This morning, about nine o'clock, the
rumor spread about tho city that the
jury in the Fehrenbach case had finally
agreed, and that Judge Woods had been
sent for to receive their verdict. The
u. s. Circuit Court room and its avenues
were. in less than half an hour, packed
with the friends Of the accused and
other persons anxious to see the spec
tacle.
JUSTICE BRADLEY.
Whilst the throng was discussing the
result of the trial it was announced that
Justice Bradley, who had arrived In the
city, would take his seat on the bench
with Judge Woods, both OF whom were
reported to be present In the Custom
house building at ten o'clock. The ap-
pearance at this juncture in the city Of
a Judge Of the United States Supreme
Court gave rise to further discussion
THE TRUE CAUSE
OF the excitement was said to be the re-
port that Shredder. one Of the jurors,
had fallen seriously i'll the night before,
and that it was impossible to keep him
confined any longer This report seemed
TO quiet the minds of the friends OF the
accused, the latter of whom had at no
which would have been the natural con
sequence of the first rumor had 1t been
true.
AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK,
Justice Bradley and Judge Woods
appeared and took their seats on
the bench, and everybody was on tip
toe to see the jury enter. Alas they
were doomed to disappointment, for 1t
was now ascertained that the jury had
not agreed. Inquiry lead to the fact
that the rumor about
THE AGREEMENT OF THE JURY
had its foundation on disappearance in
court Of Thos. j. Semmes, Esq, lead
ing counsel for the defense, and the
statement made by him that he had been
sent for by Judge Woods, with the in
for nation that the jury had agreed and
was ready to report.
THE CONDITION OF TIE JURY
is variously reported, in some cases
going SO far as to say that large ma
jority OF the jury are in favor Of the
acquittal Of the accused. Another re-
port is to the effect that Bringier the
recalcitrapt member, had now all the
colored men Of the jury on his side.
