Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
SrKuBENyILLE, o., April 2i.-There was
a rumor on the street, to-day that Sharp
Il Daniels muck iron works, at Aleckanna,
one mile above this city, would soon sus-
pend operation. The cause OF suspension
is the demand for higher wages by the
employees. and the refusal on the part of
the proprietors to accede to the demand at
at least until there is jump in iron.
The Court of Common Pleas will convene
tomorrow, with the new Judge, Colonel
Pearce, of CadiZ, on the bench. The Repub-
lican lawyers. in this city, have not yet
fully recovered from their wrath at Pearce
and his benchman for the shabby treat
ment of McCurdy. at the nominating con-
vention. and hence there will be no fuss
made over the new Judge from that quarter.
One Republican lawyer, who has prac-
ticed at this bar for fifteen years, on being
asked what kind of a Judge he thought
Pearce would make. replied "Oh, Bill
Walden will run the court, Suppose. You
see" added the lawyer, I'VE had devil OF
a time keeping Walden from boiling Nc
Curdy in the first convention, after We had
been instructed to vote for our man, and
castingh his vote for Pearce. He did all he
could against McCurdy, and of course will
now get his reward.
There are 40 civil suits and large num-
Der of criminal ones on the docket.
HAS no arrests have been made to-day, it
is supposed that the saloons, under the
Smith Sunday law, were closed yesterday.

WHEELING. " va TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL

"0h. oh. il is an absolute, detestable2 OUT

Blaine then desired to say something m
relation to the Interview between Shiphefu
and Hurlbut, in as much n Shipherfs yeT.
sion involved the good name Of the dead
President md the dead Minister. He then
read Shepherds version and with the TO
mark: with both of these gentlemen dead,
il may be q matter of some difiiculty to
disproye these statements, except iuferen-
tally: but believe them to be
The Gro~sest .Ralsehoo0is
and will eafeayor to show il 10 be the case.
He then pointed out the absurdity or Ship
herds version that he met Hurlbut by the
latter's appointment, and that tlry ut
upon a sofa In the public corridor and held
such an interview rs Shipherd described,
and utterly discredited any other expIana-
ton than that Shipherd, seeing by the
papers that Hurlbut was at the Firth
Avenue hotel, waylaid him, and secured
merely a casual chat in public hall. Blaine
characterized. in most forcible language
the assumption of Shipherd in assuming
to speak for President Garfield, as simply
infamous; and with eloquent yehemence
declared that he was prepared to take the
most solemn oath, so firm were his convic-
tions, that President Garfield went TO his
death without ever having seen or heard of
Shipherd or his claims.
At this point Blaine called attention to
some OF the questions asked Shipherd by
Belmont, concerning the Landresve claim,
which he said put words in his (Blsine's)
mouth which he did not use.
Belmont refused to discuss the question
at this time, and the committee adjourned
till Wednesday, when the examination OF
Blaine will be resumed.

WHISKY IN BOND.
Secretary FoIger's Position what will
be Done.



be Done.
Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, April 2i.-The Senate
Committe, this morning received letter
from Secretary Folger, containing his
reasons for objeCting to the bill passed by
the House, indefinitely extending the
period within which whisky may remain
in bond He thinks that ii the bonded
period were extended, over-production
would continue, and in some mysterious
way the Government would be injured.
Either the distillerS would continue to
manufacture without selling for their own
amusement the spirits becoming better
and better every day, or they would con-
tinue to manufacture and sell, always hav-
ing much more than the dealers wanted,
and 50 lowering the price and
glutting .the market. He seems to have
forgotten the one all.important fact
that the tax is on consumption, is not on
production, and the economic princciplc
is true here as anywhere that the demand
regulates the supply. Should the Senate
Finance Committee agree with the Secre-
tary. and should the Senate agree with its
Finance Committee, the consequences
would be distrous to distiliers. Delay itself
would be dangerous.
The matter has been presented to him
ably and clearly by Maj. Butterworth and
Others. He has been told that the agita-
ton over proposed reduction of the tax
on whisky during the past six or seven
months has paralyzed the whisky trade.
Whisky dealers have simply waited to see
what would turn up. The distillers, in
order to prepare for a renewal OF
the usual demand, continued to
manufacture the usual amounts. The deal
ers understand pretty we'll now that there
will be no reduction OF the whiskey tax this
year. They are beginning to buy again.
But on the 9TH of May, under existing laws,
all that whi>key whose bond has expired
must leave the amount of S2,OOO,OOO must
be paid on it to the government. OF course
it is impossible to realize on this great lake
of spirits BY the 5th OF May. No one Won
ders, therefore that the distillers fear that
some OF their number will be crippled and
Others ruined if the bond period hc not ex-
| tended. T..

necessary TO pay the semi annual dividend,
but this is untrue. The Company has a
much larger amount in hank than it now
owes, and the earnings have been very large.
There has been marked curtailment
in the expenses incurred for Strengthening
the line on the New York diyision-reduc-
ing the grade aud diminishing the curves
on the main line; and there is disposition
on the part Of the managers TO make the
extraordinary expenses rs light as possible
while the necessary operating expenses are
so large.
This policy has caused the stOppage OF
work on the third and fourth tracks, which
are really needed for economically operating
the road. The Directors meet to declare
the mi-annual dividend next Monday,
and il is thought it will be four per cent.

though there are some who think there
