THE WHISKY MEN.


CINoINNATI, July 1.-THE Western Ex-
port Association, including districts of the
West and South, formed for the purpose Of
regulating prices and production, met here
to-day for the purpose of considering the
terms Of the new agreement, that under
which the association is now operating ex-
piring September LIST next. When the agree
ment was entered into year ago, production
was limited TO forty per cent. of capacity.
This, in view of the low prices and
large quantity Of whisky in bond
in Kentucky, is considered too much,
and production was subsequently, linn
tied to thirty and then to twenty per cent. oil
capacity. The last percentage was found too
srall to afford profit on the Investments
and it was agreed to-day to make the limii
twenty five per cent. of the capital, 10 take
effect September LIST, or at such subsequent
date rs the Executive Committee might fix

RIGHTS OF LOCAL EXAMINERS.

Postm aster Adreop, of Baltimore, recently
Civil Service Commission was coumunicat-
ipg directly with members OF the local Ex-
smining Board at Baltimore, who were en-
ployes in his once, and tn at in his (Adreon's)
opinion this was detrimental to the discipline
OF the office and coOtrary 10 the custom
which requires official commuui icatIons to
subordinates to go fret to the head of the de-
partment. The Postmaster General has re-
piled 10 Adreon that he sees no Improperly
whatever in the Civil Service Com missiouers
communicating directly with the local Board
of Examiners relative to their duties under
the law, Notwithstanding they are employees
in his Office. The Postm aster G sneral says:
"They are suDordinates of yours in an official
sense, but in respect to the duties devolved
upon them by the Civil Service laws
aud rules, as members Of the Local
Board of Examiners, they are, and
shosld be, independent Of any authority,
save that created and conferred by law. The
very object and spirit of the law requires
that they should be entirely free from any
interference or supervision on the part Of
the head of the Office 10 matters relating to
the case, l thinS it entirely roper that the
Civil Service Commission should communi-
cate directly with them in matters relating
TO their duties as members of the Board. OF
course it il to be presumed the ommission
will do nothing in this behalf that will IL
terfere with The discipline of your Office, SIS
that would plainly be opposed to the spirit
OF the Civil Service law.

CHAMBERS EXTENSION.
How Cen a Further Stay BE Granted.

Joe Chambers was convicted on May !, Of
picking pockets, and sentenced to five
wears Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
A stav OF execution Of the sentence was
asked for until June 1st, which the Court
granted. Under the provisions and condl.
tons Of that stay it expired last night at Il
o'clock Yesterday evening on extension
of the stay was asked for, but the Judge
declined to grant it then, saying that he
would take it under advisement
until that evening, or this morning. He
adjourned last evening without answering
the application one way or the other. We
have the highest legal authority at this bar,
for saying that inaSmuch as the stay was
not granted before II o'clock, or by that
time last night, 1t can't be granted at all,
because under the conditions of the stay
the minute il expired the sentence acted
on the prisoner as though the stay had
never interposed in its execution at all.
Can the Judge open up the sentence again
and suspend it? for it certainly acted
on the prisoner from l. o'clock last night.
and how could the Judge now interfere?
He could have acted yesterday, but how to-
day? The sentence went into full opera
ton at twelve last night. In civil cases
where extensions of time have been grant
ed, they have always been granted before
the first extension expired. This is the
practice and law about all such proceed
ings in our courts.
resump ton of a sentence cant take
place between two intermediate stays in the
same case. A second extension must be
granted before The first one expires in
order to make it continuous, otherwise it is
