ROtiy Recovered.

LOUISVILLE, January 16.-The body Of
Amanda Adams, colored, was discovered
in the Ohio river Mt Jefiersonville to-day.
At the coroners inquest was developed
that she was drowned at the wharf last
Wednesday, though whether by foul
means or accident was not learned. a
colored woman, Ann Downs, swore at the
inquest that she was with Adams Wednes-
day night at the river and that one John
Mays purposely pushed herinto the wat.
er. Mays stated that Downs and Adams
were on the wharf Wednesday before
midnight, and that he from q position on
somemmber floats hear by, heard a splash
in the water and saw one woman, whom
he subsequently ascertained was Downs,
running away. The jury did not consid:
or Downs evidence worthy Of belief and
therefore did not order Mays arrest. An
other negro, whose name is Redding, was
with Mays at the time Of the occurrence.
Neither he nor Mays informed the au-
thorities OF the drowning until twenty
four hours afterwards, and now Redding
is missing. The mystery has produced
much excitement. -tU-

INDIANA WHISKY TRIALS.
Ex.Gauger. eGriG Found Guilty
OH Nine Counts of the lndict.
ments = Argument for u New
IriaI for Hill.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 15.-The jury
in the McGriff case returned a sealed
verdict this morning Of guilty on nine
counts, and not guilty on three. The de,
iendant is found guilty on the third
count, as an Internal Revenue Gauge, rs
having accepted and received from John
W. Bingham and Gordon B. Bingham, as
dis,illers, the sum Of five hundred dol
lars as bribe, with intent to have his ac-
ton as such officer in reference to the busi.
ness Of the said Binghams influenced
thereby. The fourth count charges that
the defendant, as Internal Revenue
Gauger, made certain false and fraudu.
lent gauge Of certain distilled spirits OF
the Binghams, in this, that as such gauger
he inspected proved and gauged fifty
casks Of refined spirits for the said Bing-
hams, containing. in fact 100 proof gal
Ions, and having so gauged the said spir-
its, he falsely reported the said fifty pack
ages to the Collector OF the First District
Of Indiana as containing 2,l46 proof gall
Ions only. The fifth count alleges that
the Binghams removed from their dis
tillery, to a place other than that pro-
yided by law, q certain quantity ofdis-
titled spirits on which the tax had not
been paid, and the defendant, being In
ternal Revenue Gauger, had knowledge
and information OF this fact, but failed to
report the same to Jas. G. Veach, Collect
or Of that district. The seventh count
charges the Binghams Of having caused
certain stamped packages Of distilled
spirits to be emptied OF their contents,
without destroying or obliteratlng the
stamps thereon, and that the defendant,
as Revenue Gauger, being cognizant Of
the offense, failed TO report 1t to the Col
lector of the district. The ninth count
alleges that the Binghams carried on the
business OF distillers with intent TO de-
fraud the United States Of the taxes on
the spirits distilled by them, and that the
defendant, having knowledge and infor-
nation Of this ofiense, failed to report
the same to the Collector Of the First
District. The tenth count set forth con-
spiracy aud collusion on the part Of the
Binghams and defendant to defraud the
United States Of taxes imposed by law on
spirits distilled by the Binghams while
the defendant was an Internal Revenue
Gauger.
The case OF Brownlee was continued
until Tuesday next. The hearing Of the
argument for new trial in the Hill case

tho wave Of business depression has pass
ed beyond the great houses, and is now
exhausting It's force on those Of more linn.
tied capital, q symptom unvaryipg and
infalli6le Of the beginning Of better
days.
From these statistics alone 1t is evident
that an immediate improvement, how
ever subdued, can reasonably be ex-
pected In the tendency Of affairs in the
commercial world. II could have been
wished that Mr.. Wyman, the statistician
OF Dun, Barlow & Co.'s Agency, had de-
voted more attention in the Agency's
present circular to this feature Of the
business situation. The circular, how
ever, dealing simply with the immediate
past, confines itself more exclusively to
that and its lessons, leaving the causes
for hope in the future to others. These
may be briefly alluded TO. One reason OF
the great number Of failures in 1874 and
1875 is undoubtedly the systematic re-
trenchment that has taken place in public
and private expenditures. This retrcnch-
ment in most lines Of business and in pri.
yate life since 1873 has now been carried
about as far as it is likely to go, and the
volume Of trade Of the country ought now
steadily to increase. The sales' Of the
present winter in this city indicate that
The lowest limit Of contraction OF business
has substantially been reached.

The Story Of Logan.
WEL1snuRe, january Il, 1875

WELLsBURo, January ID, 1875.
Editors IntellISencCr: ...-..
I see in your paper Of the llth narra-
tive Of Logan, the MEingo Chief, by Frank.
lin G. May. Perhaps the author intended
this US a pleasant little romance. II so,
the story is quite u success. But as q
piece OF history 1t does not gee with the
facts as they have come down to US:
There are now living within sight OF
Mingo men Of intelligence and truth who
have heard the story Of Logan from their
fathers lips, and from those. who were
scouts along his border IN I.ogan's day.
Old Patrick Gass, who died near here
some years ago, was one OF those scouts as
far back as 1900. He corroborated others
who said that Logan was not an Indian OF
any influence in his tribe, and that he
never led IN expedition against the
whites, much less such one as that
which was defeated by the Virgin
ians at Point Pleasant. Patrick Gass
was with and wrote a diary OF the first
expedition sent through the wilderness
to The Pacific 0cean--viz THAT oil Lewis
and Clark's, and his veracity was never
doubted BY any one. He confirmed those
who said that Logan was known along
the frontier as dirty drunken dog OF an
Indian-one who could no more have
made a speech Of the kind attributed to
him, than could an average plantation
negro make speech on the Currency
The truth OF the matter is about this
Thomas Jefferson either intended 10 say
something complimentary to the Indian
race in his Notes on Western Virginia.
Or writing to make his book interesting,
put the famous speech into Logans
mouth. Possibly Jefferson may have been
imposed upon by some yarn spinning
pioneer. At all event II required very
little effort for the great brain oi the
author OF the Declar9aon to evolve from
ia Afnner consciousness" the production
that has immortalized Logan, Chief oil
the Mingos.
! As to Logan having been buried at or
near Lagrange, that too Is all o fancy
sketch. There are those living in sight
Of Lagrange who have been there for 80
years and whp have known or heard all
the incidents OF our border history. They
know nothing Of his burial there. II Is
not likely that such character as Logan
really was, and who was killed In q
drunken row somewhere in the interior
OF Ohio, would be brought here for burial,
l write this not to spoil Mr.. Mays nice

FoRTWAYNE, IND, January 15.-Judge
Borden rendered his decision this morn
ing as to a motion for a new trial for
Joseph Wall, charged and convicted Of
the murder Of Morgan Oonkheit, In July

for defense presented several objections
why sentence should be revoked, which
were all overruled by the Judge, who
sentenced the prisoner as follows: "That
he be taken back to the county Jail and
there kept in close custody until Monday,
March Is, between 10 A. NJ. and 8 P. NJ,
when he will be taken to a private in-
closure, pear. the Jail, there to be hanged

KENTUCKY SENATORsHIP.
Three Moro Ballots Yesterday
Several Changes in the Vote,
hut No Result.

but No Result.
FRASKFoRT January l5.-As usual,
the General Assembly did nothing to-day
but consider few local bills. The reso-
lutions on the death Of General Breckin.
ridge came up as a special order, but in
consequepce Of the overshadowing impor-
tance OF the Senatorial election, were laid
over for one week. ''' ''
AT noon the Houses met in joint ses-
sion, and took two ballots for United
States Senator. In view Of the fact that
the Democratic caucus had adjourned till
next Monday night, Tor the final determi-
nation of the question, little or no change
in the voting was expected to-day, ye,
some took place. On the first ballot
Senator Hays, from Hardin county,
changed from williams to Leslie, giving
the latter twenty-nine votes. Represen.
tatiye Blue, who had first voted tor Ste
venson, and then for Beck, went
over 10 Williams, and Representa-.
tives Farmer and Joshua G.. Ford
changed from Williams to Beck, which,
with Beck's sick man, Mckinney,
who was $50 as TO be around" to-day,
gave the latter candidate 40 votes. On
the second ballot, Nelson, Of Newport,
changed from Williams to Beck, in pur.
suance, as he said, Of the wishes Of his
constituency, this change, which gave
Beck an even SO votes, called forth Il
burst Of applause from the spectators,
which was severely rebuked by Speaker
Underwood. The last vote stood, Beck
50, Williams ~, Leslie 90, and Wads-
worth, the Mason county Republican
martyr, II. -, g..
The convention then adjourned to Mon.
day morning, when the candidates will
have their last opportunity to settle their
little dispute in'open session. It looks rs
though Beck had his paws on the prize.
He is said to have twelve or fourteen OF
tho Leslie men and six OF the Williams
men when it comes to the final pinch.
