THE NEW YORK sun SENSATION
Some whisky Ring Development.
of Interest.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The Sun, for
several days past, has conspicuously
announced that to-day it would publish
a sensation.
The promised sensation is a six column
article dared Washington, November Il,
under glaring beading OF Grant Dis.
honored," which assumes to supply a
missing link in the trial OF General Bah
cock in the whisky frauds, and to con-
meet President Grant with the cOnspira-
cy to prevent his conviction. The article
enters into an exhaustive review of the
prosecution of the St. Lous whisky con-
spirators, the main point being an effort
to show that VIM. .. Avery, the recently
pardoned whisky convict, was sacrificed
in order TO shield Babcock, and that
President Grant was instrumental in
protecting Babcock.
1t alleges that Avery was appointed
chief clerk OF the Treasury Depal tment
through Babcock and Luckey, and that
he kept Joyce and Mcdonald ad.
yised of the movements OF the revenue
officers and the intentions of the depart
ment, and divulged to them Secretary
Bristow's plans. 1t says that after
Avery's Indictment, false hopes were
held out to him that no case could be
made against him, and that Luckey and
Babcock used every means to have
Avery destroy eliminating letters, 81 @, in
his possession; taht Avery was
induced to keep quiet, and with
the active interference of the President
and Attorney General Babcock was ac-
Quilted. Avery was convicted, and
efforts were then directed to Avery's
wife to persuade her to destroy the let
ters with the promise OF AYery's pardon.
She pretended to destroy the letters, but
when Luckey. Babcock and the rest de.
serted Avery these documents were
placed in the hands Of friend, and re.
suited in Avery's final pardon. The
article is evidently written in the inter-
est of Avery, the presumption being that
he has chosen to expose secrets that
would have convicted Babcock. Presi.
dent Grants implication with the
whisky ring does not appear to be shown
in any other light than was attempted
during the whisky ring developments
and prosecutions.
