WHAT BRIsrOw WAS AFTER.

PROSECUTION.
Colonel John A. Joyce, in his book. GA
Checkered Life" tells how ex-Secretary Bris-
tow tried to bride him to act the informer
called at the Office of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and says:
Bristow threw himself back in his official
chair and opened the following plastic con-
versatiOn:
Colonel, I'm sorry that you have got into
this trouble. l have heard of you as gal
liant soldier from Kentucky, and it pains me
to see any man from our State, who fought
for the Union, in jeopardy. All 1 wish is to
make a success of these whisky prosecutions,
and, if you will assist me, pll see that you
nave no trouble"
He said: well, Colonel that's all right.
have no disposition to pursue you to pris-
on, as you were a mere subordinate; but /
feel that these parties over the way (pointing
to the White Houseb were the responsible
heads OF the whole whisky conspiracy, and l
know you are intimate with them"
said knew nothing about it, and so far
as the White House people were concerned,
had never in the whole course of our politi-
cal and personal friendship spoken to them
about whisky frauds.
He looked up and smiled with a bland ex-
preston, and remarked: "Well, if you want
to go to prison for other people, it is none Of
my business"
/ arose from my seat by the side of his
official chair, and replied to the cunning bid
he had put in for States evidence: ''Mr.
| Secretary, told you candidly and truthfnlly
that / knew nothing of frauds upon the
| revenue; and regard your efforts to put me
in the light of an informer as an insult, and
your desire to bring higher officers into dis
grace piece of injustice"

WEAK AND DULL MARKETS
Grain and Provisions Open Briskly,
but Speedily Weaken.
Dampening Effect of the Fre"ch Foiicy Vi
BoycOtting American POrk-XeaknUS
in the Corn Market.
spocial 10 the Indianapolis Journal.

special 20 the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Dec 26-The grain and provision
markets opened quite briskly, to-day, but
soon fell off, and very little was done there
after. Wheat and corn were particularly
buoyant at the opening, and sales were rapid
at the figures reached. The receipts were
light and the demand weak for both cereals.
However, before noon, Schwartz & Dupee
were said to be unloading large quantities of
January corn on the market and report
that the French government had again boy
cotted" American meats served to weaken
the demand for the different options in pro-
visions. Reports from the northwestern and
western counties of the State show that the
hog-dealers of those sections are anticipating
decided shortage in their shipments in the
immediate future. No reasons are given for
this state of affairs except that the country
dealers believe that it is so, because of what
their past experience has taught them.
Wheat opened nc lower than on Satur-
day and advanced nc after the first few
sales were made. The demand almost imme-
diately fell off, however, and the prices of the
December and May options dropped ~ and
lie respectively from the highest point.
This was partially due to the weakness of
the surrounding markets and the fact of
material increase of the stocks in store. The
other options fell off &c and all closed at the
lowest point of the day.
Corn opened somewhat stronger, selling
up 2sc for January. Very little was done
in the other options in the same cereal, and
the January option subsequently fell off
re The option for December closed &c,
January &c, February 11lc and May &c
lower than the opening and still weak and
inactive.
The rumor as to the French. edct against
our meats had a most dampening effect upon
the provision deals. Pork ranged downward
sc, and other meats dropped about half that
amount. Lard was also materially affected.
A rumor to the effect that q promine Mt
commission house was embarrassed by the
failure of an elevator at Ottawa, ILL.,, had a
weakening effect upon the markets all
around. The firm quietly closed out all their
deals before their condition was made known
to the public. The weakness in the provision
market was, in the main, owing to the selling
out OF a line Of so, 900 barrels of pork held by
BILLY" Murray, and the ownership OF which
was in doubt. This broke the market, and it
was assisted in its decline by large offerings
from all the packers. 1t was reported that
Philip Armour became the real purchaser Of
most of Murray's stuff, and that Nat. Jones
was also a buyer The markets are all weak,
and will probably remain in that condition
until after January.

Third week of 1he Bond Trial.

H1LLsBoBo Dec. 26.-The Bond case did
not open till nearly noon to-day. Minnie
Pettus. sister OF Lee Pettus one of the de-
rendants, was put on the stand She testified
that her brother Lee owned but one pair OF
red striped stockings,
The prosecution then subjected her to a
long crGss-eXamination, evidently for the
purpose OF obtaining something contradic-
tory TO the testimony of other members of
the family. The result was that'the witness
gave. in a number of instances, quite differ
ent testimony from that given at the prelim-
mary trial, and also con tradicted herself and
other members Of the family. These were
minor points, however, and will probably
not cut much OF figure in summing up.
The testimony OF the defense is not all in
vet and then viii come the rebuttal of the
prosecution and the argument. Miss Bond
will again go on the stand and rebut some of
the most important testimony that has been
introduced by the defense. The defense have
held an important consultation since the adj
tournament of court. It is understood that
at this conference they decided to introduce
the insanity theory into their line OF defense.
They will undertake to prove that Miss
Rondas mind has become so affected that her
testimony is not to be relied upon. With
this tuu in view, an expert physician has
been secured and will be put on the stand.
This will tend to complicate matters very
nruch and viii prolong the trial.

LONDON, Dec 26.-Mr. Parner was ques-
toned to-day by a correspondent in regard
to the letter published yesterday from Mr..
luke, chairman of the luke Emigration
Committee. Mr.. Parnell said that tho Irish
National League was in receipt of many let
tiers showing that terrible suffering had been
endured by hundreds of the unhappy indi-
viduals upon whom Tuke's emigration ex-
pertinent had been made and that the Irish
people regarded any system of emigration as
murderous blow against the life of the ma
ton. Whatever Mr.. Tuke's individual mo-
tives may be-" said Mr.. Parnell, 1.-THE pro-
ceedings of his committee stand exposed as
an indecent attempt to aid the government
TO get rid of the Irish people. If emigration
be such a wonderful thing, why not bring
the theories of Lord Spencer and Lord Derby
into practical operation in some of the con-
gested districts of London? The govern
nent knew full we'll that such an attempt
would lead to the opening of questions and
principles by no means paatable to the
landed proprietors of England"

Whittier on Telnperanee.

The following letter was written by John
G. Whittier to the Women's Christian TEN
perance Union, at its recent anniversary cele-
bration at Cleveland OF the women's crusade:
DANvERs, Mass, Dec z, 1883.
Dear Frends-I cannot let the deeennial of the
"Women's National Christian Temperance
Union" pass without expressing my hearty sym
patty with its object and my approval of It's
methods. Its beneficial influence has been felt
in every section of the country. 1t has bafAed
the schemes of politicians and parties by appeal
ing directly to the moral sense of the people,
and infused fresh life into churches and sects by
IT'S practical application of the preceprs of the
gospel of Christ. When 1 reflect upon the awful
magnitude of the evil, the crime, the pauperism,
the wreck of home, and the unspeakable dehase-
ment of humanity everywhere apparent, am
appalled, aud sometimes almost hopeless. But
when think of your organization, and what it
has done during the last ten years, take new
courage, The women of the country will yet
save the men of 1t. Give them what they are
Now upjustly deprived of, the right of suffrage,
and the close of the next decade VII see the
Union. Thine truly, JOHN G. WHITTIER.

OHIO COLORED MEN.
The Rights and Abuses of The CoIored Peo-
pie Discussed at Length by the
Convention.

COLUMBUS, Dec ga State convention of
colored citizens convened to day. with a
large attendance from all parts of the State
w. S. Thomas, of Delaware, temporary chair
man, stated the object of the convention.
He said that the rights of the colored people
are being more and more disregarded, and
the Danville outrage showssuch condition of
affairs as to lead to organization for protec-
ton in all rights belonging to citizens. The
decision OF the Supreme Court in the civil
rights law was generally discussed. The
forenoon was occupied in appointing COM
mittees on credentials and permanent Or
ganization.
At the afternoon session eleven counties
were represented and permanent organiza-
ton effected as follows President G. /.
Maxwell, Green county; secretary, G. L.
Comley, Hamilton county. The president
made a strong address, setting forth the
necessity of combined action for their rights.
greater portion OF the afternoon was taken
up in short speeches, to get the sentiment of
the delegates and those represented.
The convention continued in session until
after midnight. At times the excitement
over the alleged abuse of the race became
very high and most inhammatory speeches
were made
Cox, to take action in their behalf. Mr.. Cox
Yves cited as espousing the cause of ODon-
nell, and asked to plead for the hundreds OF
his fellow citizens being murdered at home
A long list Of resolutions were adopted
pointing to their grievances, and citing the
causes for organized effort and protection.
The resolutions set forth that the sentiment
in the States lately in rebellion is averse to
the rights of colored men, and demand of the
President and Congress that the constitution
and laws be enforced for equal protection 1t
is held that negro supremacy has never been
allowed where they had majority and they
were soon put down by violence; and in this
State, even, they are denied a representation
in the Legislature which they once had; and
yet the United States Supreme Court, in It's
civil-rights decision, had left them to the
States, with these preiudiees against them.
