Brady last night, from other sources suff-
cient was CLEANED to satisfy US that there was
more than ordinary commotion in govern
ment circles. The boil and the Inflammation
attendant thereon has been increasing, and
before the week ends, it will probably arrive
at what is vulgarly known as a "hesd."
Mysterious movements Of government
throw dust in the eyes of the news.
paper world but SO far the cloud has
not had the desired effect Their relicence
in matters that must necessarily at an early
date be made public seems to be from an ex-
cessive caution. and their efforts will doubt
less prove Of little effect without the aid of
those who are interested IS much as they are
in showing the equity" up.
Mr.. w. L. Flash, Of the firm of Flash,
Lewis d Co., was interviewed yesterday by
our reporter in reference to the indictment
against the firm Of which he is member. for
non production of their liquor books. Mr..
Flash states that when the government OIL.
Gals called on their clerk for the whisky
books he was somewhat reticent in giving
them the desired information. Two Of the
books were lost or mislaid at the time, and
one of those books has since been found
among q lot of old books and papers that
were stored away in the fourth story Of the
building.
The olher book has not been found. but
the information that it contained has been
furnished Mr.. Brady, and be is perfectly
satisfied. This book contained the whisky
business done for q period not longer than
three months. This missing book may pos
slbly be found among some of the old books
and papers that were placed in divers por.
tons of the building when it was enlarged
and the roof removed. Mr.. Flash states
that they do not deal in whisky as liquor
dealers. but buy and sell it as grocers.
The whisky business transacted by them is
comparatively small and is not q specially,
although they have license the same as all
other wholesale grocers to deal in whisky, and
most of the whisky sold by them was bought
in this city from wholesale liquor dealers.
The firm purchased whisky in the West,
but very little.
1t was reported in telegraph circles last
night that when the kilograms bearing on
the whisky business were produced before
the Grand Jury there would be tearing of
hair and gnashing of teeth in certain ex-
official quarters, where as yet the lightning
had not touched. II is said that some four
ex-gaugers and inspectors have had finger
in the crooked pie, and the kilograms will
bring all their actions to light.
This new move on the part of the govern
ment on the telegraph offices was, to say the
least, most unexpected, and its effect will
probably be stronger than any step hitherto
taken by Supervisor Brady.
To-dae's session of the Circuit Court will,
without doubt, bring to light the names Of
several more of the indicted.

-. The doctors say that the diseases most
prevalent just now are scarlet fever, diph-
liberia and bronchial affections. This is, no
doubt, owing to the extremely changeable
weather we have been having-now hot az
midsummer, and then almost cold enough
for ice; now dry and dusty, and anon foods
of rain.
The other day gentleman was in the
Office of we'll known notary public on St.
Charles street, for the purpose of paying for
q certain piece of property which he had pur-
chased He had the money for that purpose
in sealed envelope from which he tore off
one end, and drew, as he thought, the whole
amount contained therein, $500. He then
crumpled the envelope and threw it into the
fire. His CONSERVATION may be imagined
when he discovered on counting the money
that he was $50 short, having consigned that
amount with the envelope to the flames.

The Davenport San !al.

Davenport in his testimony, and the
Republican press after him, are making
desperate effort TO divert the public
mind from the real question at issue.
Davenport pretends to have used the
public money handed over to him by
Grant and the Acknowledgement for
the detection and punishment of elect
ion frauds In this city; and he makes q
great ado of repeating what everybody
knew of the prevalence of such crimes
in the days Of Tweed's Ring.
This may be all admitted, and still it
is nothing to the purpose Did Grant,
Akerman, Williams, and Davenport,
conspire to plnnder the secret service
fund, appropriated to specific object.
and law lessly use it for an object to
which it was not Appropriated If they
touched dollar unappropriated by law
they were guilty of very serious
offence.
Did theyi Let that question be
settled, and it will then be easy enough
to show that Davenport expected q
large part of the money in simply run
ming the Grant campaign. If he had
wished to stop election frauds, he
would have transported himself to
Pennsylvania or North Carolina, where
Grant and his men were practising
them on an unparalleled scale ~ y

! The O'CoNoR INVESTIGATIONS The
tribunal composed of ex-Gov. Dix,
Wilson G. Hunt, Rev. DR.. VIM. Adams.
Howard Potter, Hon. John K. Porter,
who we've selected by the New York
bar association to investigate charges
against Charles O'Connor in connection
with the Forest divorce case, met Sat-
urday morning, Governor Dix presided.
The Secretary read a letter Mr. O'Con-
ner had resolved from Mrs. Sinclair, de
ciaring her gratitude to him, and relter-
ating her assertion that the article from
which the investigation arises was pub.
llshed without her consent and against
her wish, and after solem promise had
been given not to publish it. She de-
MED making charges against him, aud
declines citation TO appear before the
tribunal.
Mr.. Sedley, brother in>law Of Mrs
Sinclair read a protest refusing to rec
ognize any obligation to appear before
the commission. Mr.. O'Conner said
this protest was not worth his while t.
0OLlce; ana DIS HS FltilecS HaN dpI'SaIC GU
he thought it was not decorous for him
to enter any defense. He said the charge
that he received too large fee from the
lady in question appeared to be ganer
ally abandoned since it was shown that
he received only $4,000 for nineteen
years legal services brought up by in-
terest, &c. to about $4,000, and read /;
statement cf the amounts which he re-
ceived from Mrs. Sinclair, anu of the
amounts which he obtained for her from
Mr. Forrest.
Judge DAILY testified that he present
ted a silver vase to Mr.. OConor IN be-
half of thirty ladies; he had no inprass
! sion that MIR. O'Conor was acting fol
Mrs. Forrest without charge, and de
rived no such impression from the IA
dies with whom he converged Or from
any one.
Mr.. O'Conor further stated that thu
silver was in cellar close by, and that, i
the court eesired, he had a man in read
mess to bring it to them and chop 1t ~
and give it to the poor if he had re-
eeived it in any mean or dlshonorabl'

THE CoRRzcT V1Ew.-The speech
of Frederick Douglass at the unwilling
OF the Lincoln statue in Washington,
while paying warm tribute to Mr..
Lincoln, shows that he regards him as
mere distinctly Unionist than an
abol;tionist This is the correct view,
but it is ore which not only the
emancipated race, but many intelligent
white people have not taken, or been
willing to take. Mr.. Lincoln has been
popularity looked upon as leader of
emancipation, whereas nothing was
further from hii mind in the beginning
than to make emancipation result of
the war. Their were those, of course,
who had that esyert purpose from the
first, but the piss of the republican
party, like Mr.. lincoln, were led into
the war for tia. preservation of the
Union, but-ywers Myelaa.Arily earried
along, to the satisfaction Of the design
ing, by the tide of events to the aboli-
ton of slavery. Yet the republican
leaders have succeeded i'll making the
poor freedmen bsleye that the repnb~
lcans are entitled to their eternal
gratitude and everlasting political
allegiance as thsfriends and champions,
hut for whose disinterested philanthro
py the negroes would never have been
delivered from a,e house of bondage.
When the blaGAs become generally
as intelligent as Douglas they will
discover that what Bismark calls the
''iron dice of destiny" falling from
above, secured theiI freedom, and not
the special good will offs any political
party. They are really rather more
directly indebted for their freedom to
the persistence Of the Southern people
in the war than otherwise, for had the
South avaiied efthe repeated offers of
the federal government to save slavery
by laying down their arms there would
have been no general emancipation -

may be nominated by the democratic
senvention. Tilden is a good man, az
honest man, and man whose record
so far as we are acquainted with it, will
commend him to the VAIN support OF
the democrats of the country. In ex-
pressing willingness to support Gov
Tilden, we do not propose to throw
aside the claims of such men as Bayard
Hendricks, Thurman and others, any
one Of whom we would be glad TO sup
mort as the nominee of the Democratic
party NV York is large State and
has large electoral vote, but in the
last two contests we were defeated,
with New Yorker as our leader. We
would therefore not be disposed te
support Tilden because he is New
Yorker but because he is man
who would command the confidence Of

participation in the eounsels of the

BELKNAF's REJoINDER.-There are
some phases of tho Belknap affair. as
disclosed in the rejeinder Of his counsel
to the replications Of the House man
ayers, which evince a disposition to
throw the impeaehers upen the defen-
sive. He not only does not admit the
alleged corruption. but AYERS that his
resignation wasinduced by Mr.. Clymer,
of the House committee, by reason of
the declaration that he would move for
hisiR peachment if he did not so resign,
and that he believed by resigning he
would secure the dismissal OF a state-
ment from the public mind which
implicated those nearly connected with
him. This, however, even if true,
would not relieve the committee or the
House of Representatives from the
duty to the country which has led to
his impeachment. Mr.. Belknap's re-
joinder exhibits him in the light of ex.
ercising creditable chivalry towards
s'those implicated who are nearly cons
nected with him. but it would hardly
be on the other hand chivalrous on the
part of the public to relieve him at
their expense.
