Drippings from the Crooked Still.

The United States Court. room Monday
morning, notwithirg the rain, was we'll filled
with lookers-on who had dropped in to see how
whisky matters were progressing. Ex-detect-
ives and pigeons fingered about the corridors
apparently not taking any interest in what
was going on, but yet keeping sharp eye on
the Grand Jury and the District Attorneys
Office. Gen. Brady and his staff were out in
full force, and they were armed for the days
charge with heavy load of the transcripts
from Washington, whilst District Attorney
Beckwith went into the iury-room with some
prepared indictments.
SENDING FOR TEIEGRAMS.
The following order was entered on the
court minutes: Considering the relation of
J. T. Deoawitl, United States Attornl fer
the d strict ct Louisiana, on file in this court,
and considering the matters therein contained
and set forth, OF motion of said United States
Attorney it is considered aud ordered that
Edward Leloup, super ntendent of the South
ern and Atlantic Telegraph Company, at and
in its Office in the city OF New Orleans, be and
is ordered and commanded to produce before
the said Grand Jurors. when it shall by the
said Grand Jurors be demanded, any and all
such papers, writings, original dispatches,
received at the Office OF said company
in New Orleans, and transmitted from
New Orleans to any and ell other parts or
places within the United States and copies of
all dispatches received ct said Off CO of said
company from other places than the city OF
New Orleans or which have by said telegraph
company been transmitted over any of the
lines belonging to or under the control of said
company, when the same shall be SO demanded
by the grand Jurors or by the attorney or any
assistant attorney of the United States attend
ing the sessions Of said jury"
A like order was directed to E. w. Barnes,
of the Western Union line.
J. Vairin, Patrick Keenan, and L. J. Highly
testified before the Grand Jury as to amounts
of grain sold 10 distillers here. Several i'm
portant witnesses are not forthcoming and
the surmise that they have been invited to
take fishing trip receives some credit as it
is known that there are number of CIPHER
kilograms passing over the wires between
New Orleans and another city.
THE ToCsIN SOUNDS.
After long and laborious session the Grand
Jury fled into court looking ominous, and
handed to the Judge two indictments against
we'll known individuals here for violating the
internal revenue law. The penalties in these
latter cases, it is said, are much more severe
than in the cases where the charge was for
the loss of books, and it WAS limited that the
government agents, with the transcripts re-
ceived from Washington, have exceedingly
strong proof against the persons charged
The arraignment will take place to-day, when
bonds for their appearance will doubtless be
given. These are only the forerunners of
more to come, ana SO great is the number
going to be, District Attorney Beckwith has
had blank indictments printed, in order to
save clerical labor.
The Grand Jury will not resume its labors
until Wednesday. for the labor of comparing
the transc ripts from Washington with the
data secured here is too great to be perfected
each day for the next days examination. The
letters still come in upon Gen.
Brady, Offering information relative to the
frauds, some Of which have already proved to
be worthy OF consideration; but outside OF
them the revenue agents have been untiring.
and they keep an eye upon every suspected
individual with an unf gging vigilance.
AT THE ST. CHARLES HOTEL,
Last night there was long consultation
held between Gen. Brady, Attorney General
Beckwith and some agents, and the future
plan of action was mapped out. There was
the usual amount of inspection of accounts,
books, etc, as we'll as the reports from the
secret service force, and the council of war
to commence anew their work to-
day. AS yet some of the long. looked for
witnesses have not turned up, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the detectives, and they are
put down as having jumped the
town in order to save their friends.
The evidence heard yesterday was cons-
derable, and on it the coming indictments will
be predicated. The ground gone over was
perfectly satisfactory to the officials, and they
express themselves as sure of their work.
