LOGAN AND 1HG WHISKEY
RING.

One OF the principals in the great
Whiskey Ring of 1875, whose oper-
All rs led to the Indictment of sew
eral Of ITS members, including Presi-
dent Grants private secretary, Gen.
Babcock, was John Mcdonald,
supervisor of internal revenue.
Sipgularly enough Mcdonald was
convicted and sentenced to a long
term of imprisonment. This is
accounted for by the fact that the
trial was held at a distance from
Washington influences. And now
comes the interesting part of the case
as related by the World: Before his
sentence Mcdonald received a pledge
from the President OF immediate
pardon. After he was lodged in Jail
the pardon wa, delayed for several
months on the p~reteuse of a fear Of
puolic opinion. "Then," says Nc
Donald, over his own signature, II
demanded my pardon under threats
Of exposure if it were not imme.

BLAINE's JOB.

A reader of the World writes to
that journal for q brief history of the
guano business which James q.
Blaine thrust his fngers into while
Secretary of State. As the venti-
lation CT this d-iectable tus,ne-s is
pertinent to the car vass, We give the
following synopsis Of the Worlds
reply:
Certain American citizens, of
whom Peter Hevner WIS the head
aud 'ront, purchased or pretended to
purchase for u few dollars from the
pretended owners in Peru certain
absurd and preposterous claims
against the Government, amounting
to some thousands Of millions Of
dollars, for the value Of nearly ali
the guano ever sold by that country,
as we'll IS all guano now in sight or
hereafter to be taken out. The
claims-by the right of discovery
were two in'number, the Landrrau
claim and the Cuchet claim. Both
were barefaced frauds Of the most
disreputable and dirty Kind. Neither
nor C"chet was an Ameri-
can citizen. Neither Hevner nnr
1.-The Peruvian Company" c,uld
show a valid transfer from Landrtau :
Or CocheU. This Government would /
have no business whatever, had they
been honest claims, instead of the
Idiotic claims that they were, to
neddle with them. All of Mr..
BIaine's South American policy re
around Hevner's guano
leaps; Minister Hurlbut was in
tructed to push Landreau's claim,
nd almost the last, if not the very
asst, act of NJ. Blaine as Secretary
I State was to write TO MI. Prescott,
Dec. l6, 1881 IA treaty of peace
which mit hit cede territ"ry to Chill
hould not be made in disregard of
nv rights which Mr.. Landreau may
e found, after an impartial judicial
lvestigati0n, to pnssess." Mr.
'iaine was not admitted into the ,
eruvian Company upon the I
ground floor" so far as the testi- ,
lony disclosed; but if he had gone I
through tho basement or sub r
liar he could not have advocated +
ere zealously and faithfully what
, must have known to be q swindle.
