quarters OF which were at Meats Office.
These kilograms were sent every hour OF the
afternoon. just before the bill finally
passed, Babcock telegrsphed to Peoria that
It was necessary that he should have con-
troll of 500 barrels more on the terms, and
Westermsn agreed to furnish 100 of these.
Toe rest was made up by the rest of the ring,
and Babc0ck was informed of the fact. As
Is well known, Bfistow and Douglass were
were on the floor of congress, urging the
passage of the bill making the tax ninety
cent, and il was passed on March 3. These
facts gave rise to the letters which have oc-
cssioned all this talk. The first letter is a
request that Westerman shall settle his
part of the pool. To this letter Westerman
replied, as be Gays, that rather than deliver
the whisky at the agreed price he.would
prefer TO
SETTLE THE POOL FOR CASH,
at the rise caused by the tax. So tie second
letter was written, stating that the whisky
was worth 81 IL on that day in New York
and at that rate Westerman was TO pay, as
stated above, $500 40. All the distillers had
been holding whisky for this rise, and they
made lots of money besides what they paid
he lobby. 1t is stated by the government
officers that they have found in the Wester-
man papers evidence duplicating Gen. j. j.
Bloomfield, ex revenue supervisor, but 1t Is
not known exactly what the evidence Is. II
is said that after Bloomfield resigned he
went to Washington to settle up
some cases In which the Z kin dis
tillers were interested. In pursuance OF
this business, which was that of an attorney,
he wrote and telegrsphed to Westermau, at
Pekin; but it is stated that 1t was all this
correspondence shows by its dates that 1t
was after he had resigned. This story must
be accepted as conclusive until the govern
ment officers are willing to show the dates
OF the correspondence. A subpoena has, how
ever, been sent for Orville Grant to appear
and testify before the grand jury what he
knows about Bloomfield. He wrote the
president, in 1870, that Bloomfield ought to
be removed, and that he could give reasons
which he did not like to put in writing.
Bloomfield resigned on February II, 1871.
The grand jury have returned bills of in
dictmSnt against @. w. Alderman and Rob-
ert Weider, ex -distillers of Pekin.

THE ILLINOIS IRREGULARs.

THE HEARTS THAT ACHE IN THE SUCK "a
sTsTE-DIsTINGuIsHED NAMES C-NNECIED
WITH THE CROOKED.
The Springfield special of the Chicago
Times telegrsphed yesterdays issue as fol-
lows: The Babcock matter, which has
caused a good deal of special telegrsphing
from here for the past few days, has been
finally run to point. This correspondent,
making bis regular call at the SUPERVISOR
Office to day, found there talking with Mai.
Wilkinson Mr.. Henry p. " estermau, of
Pekiu. The Babcock matter, as heretofore
talked OF, came up for review, and the cor
respondent was show n IL. IL consists of two
letters written to Westerman by Zsll, OF
Peoria. They are dated respectively, March
9 and Is, 1875, and both speak of an as
sessment due from Westerman for Babcock
and speak of "Bab's deal" In the last let
ter the total amount of the assessment is
stated az $500 40 Mr.. Westerman insisted
that copies OF these letters should be given
to this correspondent, but Major Wilkinson
positively refused. However, this is not of
consequence, as the substance of them Is
stated above. Mr.. Westerman makes the
following statement about these letters,
which is no doubt true. He says: The
Babcock spoke OF is not Gen. Babcock, nor
Bsbcock, the Peoria gauger. but T. @. Bah
book, of Fulton county, formerly chairman OF
the Republican State Central Committee.
In the fall of 1874 the distiIlers all over the
country wanted the tax on whisky raised
above 20 cents on the gsllon-to 81 ii pos
siole.
so THEY MADE UP A RING
to get this done. 1t was recommended that
the tax should be raised, by Commissioner
Douglas in his report of December, 1874
and the ring had the best hopes of success.
Among those willing TO do something for
the purpose Of securing the raise were all
the distillers OF Peoria, but none of the
Pekln distllleIs went II except Wester-
man, who was the Pekin Alcohol Com pany
Thus Pekin aud Peoria put into the pool
1900 barrels of whisky, which they agreed
to deliver in New York at 95 cents per gal
lon. OF this amount Westerman supplied
so barrels. Among other men employed
was Col. A. @. Babcock, who went to Wash.
iDgton aud staid there during the
whole session. He telegrsphed to
