Spocial Corre&pondcjico Daily NEWS: BRAZIL, Aug. 10. Col. Bennett has returned from Michigan City, where he had been to attend the funeral of Maj. John E. Simpson.
Bell Demosey has returned from a several months' visit to friends in Ohio. Prof. Fudge has located in this place, with headquarters over Sharp's shoe store, with a view to organizing a music school.
The report still continues afloat to the effect that the North and South railroad is being pushed in the directiou of this place with all possible speed Whether the statement comes from any authentic source is not easy to say. We believe that such an enterprise would be one of the most profitable railroad investments in the State. It would pass, through the center of a coal field of unknown and perhaps unlimited resources, and upon which the western country is bound to rely to a great extent for its future supply of fuel. It may be roughly estimated that this county is shipping an average of 60,00p cars of coal annually. The amount will not vary far from that figure. On that amount there is paid to the vari ous railroa# an average of $10 per car, making a total of $600,000. A road open ing up 4M"ePtcommunicationwith Chicago and the lakes would yastly increase this trade, as, well as receive a large portion whjch now goes oyer other roads. It is well known that the. Vandalia derives a large part of its sustenance: from the coal transportation of this district, and that the western section, which derives nothing from this source, returns very slim dividends, while this end yields handsome returns.
The Commissioners at their June session reduced the levy for state and county purposes to 20 cents on the $100, which is the lowest levy made for some years.
Geo. W. Deighan, editor of the Mirror, the democratic political organ in this county was allowed by the recent special session of the County Commissioners $1,102 for publishing the delinquent tax list. Mr. Wolfe of the Enterprise put in a bid to do the same work for less than half that amount or about $500. His bid was ignored however and the Auditor immersed the tax payers to an expense of $600 in'this item which could as well as not have been saved to the county. This refusal on the part of the democratic ring to save the county an item amounting to $600 merely out of a desire to patronize a democratic newspaper, is a fair specimen of democratic reform in our local affairs, and indicates what may be expected in the future if the party is again successful. A county official who will not get the pub lie printing done for the least sum possible is guilty of a deliberate swindle on the people and ought to be impeached for corruption in officc. The people of this county will see to it that there is a change in our local administration this fall.
A delegation of colored boys went out to the old furnace, last night, and in company with those living in that vicinity, organized a Republican club.

The Same Old Whisky Ring—The Latest Snake Story.
Another Fiftbt.
LONDON, August 9.—A dispatch from Quetta reports that another fight has oc curred between troops retiring from the line of railroad upon Sibi and a large bodv of tribesmen.
The troops retired, with a loss of ten killed, the greater portion of their baggage and animals, and their treasury chest, containing a lac aud a half of rupees. Native reports state that Ayoob Khan is a few nliles away, on the Argandfe river It is reported that dissensions are rife in his camp. The Cabulese regiments favor Abdurrahman, while the Herats wish to retire with their loot Tho dead of both armies remain unburied.
The Whisky Kin*
WASHINGTON, August 9.—Deputy Com missioner of Internal Revenue Rogers said to your correspondent to*day in reply to the charges of McDonald, of St. Louis. Whisky King fame, that it was a most egregious lie, apd so far as he was personally concerned, he had at no time any possible connection with it. He was aware, howeyer, for la long tinie before the final break-up and exposure Of the clique, that something 's v^rong, and that the Government was bpitifif swindled out of millions of dollars, Si order to ferret out the matter he selected, at different times, a corps of shrewd Revenue Inspectors to proceed to St. Louis and fathom the mystery, but every time, before they could get in readiness fdr work, thoir object was discovered by McDonald and his gang, and the inspection h&d to be abandoned that all the time he was a\Vare some one was betraying the secrets of the office, but who it was could never be ascertained. "I do hot believe," added Douglass, "that ex-President Grant knows anything about the Whisky Ring. I do not know that McDonald was an officer in the army, and as such Grant met him. Grant's friendship for him grew out of this army acquaintance. I know that McDonald had Grant's confidence, but only from the fact that he was an old army friend, and not because of any connection he (Grant) had directly or indirectly with the Whisky Ring. Had I for a moment entertained a suspicion that McDonald was dishonest I should have dismissed him at once, and I know that General Grant would have stood by mo."
Snake Story..
LONDON, O., Aug. 9.—Midway is a small but exceedingly pleasant and aristocratic village, about ten miles southeast of this city. It is situnted in the garden portion of the county, and is notcn for the wealth that surrounds it. Just now this quiet hamlet is shaken to the center over a huge snake that is perambulating the country thereabouts, making havoc among tender porkers and yellow-legged pullets. Rumors of his snakeship's presence have been prevalent for several years, and occasionally a hunt for him has been indulged in. Within the last two or three weeks he has become en tirely too flree and easy, and the loss of several fine pigs by a Mr. Harper and some equally line chickens by Mr. Levi Counts have aroused the neigh borhood, and a general hunt ttas had last week, but with no result. Another party will try it again this week. He is believed to have his lair near the residence of Daniel Counts, one of our wealthiest and most respected farmers, and Mr. Levi Counts, a prominent and well-known citizen, says the snake has been seen there occasionally for three oc four years. It is from twelve to fourteen feet long, and generally makes its presence known about this season of the year. Children are in mortal dread of the monster, and for a time, at least, are oi the goody-good order. This "tale of the snake" is vouched for by some of the best citizens of Midway.
Iterovcryof ROIHIH fctolen OurlnK Slierman's March to the Mea. NKW YORK, August 9.—In the course of General Shermans march through the Southern Stales a bank in Charleston was robbed of fifty $1,000 bonds of the B1ue Ridge Railroad Company, issued In 1858, and of other securities. It was alleged that the robbery was committed by soldiers who were with*General Sherman. Thos. Kensison. of Columbus, S. C\, was also robbed of several $500 bond? of the Augusta and Wayncsborough Railroad Company, issued in 1850.
A man who gave his name as Milo A. Boynton, a lawyer of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was arrested to-day by Detectives Golden, Reilly and Slevin, of Inspector Byrnes' staff, wliile offering for sale one of each of the above named bonds at the banking-house of Zimmerman, Walsh & Co., 19 Wall street. He had previously offered them, to Levi Co., 8 Wall street, and to Manning & Co, Th2 Augusta and Wayncsborough Railroad bond offered by him was numbered and the Blue Ridge Railroad bond 810. The latter was signed by R. W. Album, who was Governor of South Carolina at the time it was issued.
