DISTRICT ATTORNEY B¥ER TELLS WIHT THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROVE.

McKee Was a Ruling Spirit Among Evil Spirits.

'rite Testimony.

St. Louis, Jan. 21.-The United States circuit court room was crouded to-day by spectators eager to see and hear every thing in connection with the McKee whiskey trial. A ury was ixnpanneled with but little trouble, there being few challenges The jurors are all from the counties of the state, and conswt of merchants mechanics aud farmtrs. District Atorney Dyer °Pe"ed th case with a statement of what the prosecution expected to Pj"°ve the material points being that Mr McKee was not only amember. of'the ring, but th cau*e which led to his beiiifc, taken into it. He was a man of influence at Washington, and in the palmy days of thering he controhed one of the peincipal party organs here It would be shown that each week while the ring flourished, the money obtained fram the distiLlers was, after the gaugers aud stora keepers had been paid,

It would be shown that during,the time from September of 1871 to November of 1070 pach of these beneficiaries realJSrf about $40,000 from the stealings.

was then put 011 the withess stand and gave pretty much the same evidence given by him in the McDouald and Avery cases, the history of the organization of the whissy ring and of whom it was composed, the amounts of money paid by distillers and who received this money, &c. The defence objected to several questions asked the witness, and insisted that the prosecution should establish the facts of a conspiracy that the defendant was connected with it before hearing the testimony as to acts of co-conspirators. After unnsiderable argument the witness was withdrawn with :he understanding that he would be called later in the trial.

J. M. FITZBOY

who served as deputy collector under Chaa. W. Ford aud Constantine, Maguire was then called, and testified that he had charge of thej distilleries and knew that they made crooked whisky. Mnch of his testimony was a repetition of what he testified to in previous trials. The following is only a part of it bearing directly upon defendant: I collected from these distislleries, between June 1873, and August 1874, from one to five thousand dollars per week, that is-1 return* ed that much after taking out sums for gaugers and store keepers. This money was taken to the supervisor's office, where it was divided up into five parts, up to the death of Mr. Ford, by Gol, joyce *nd myself, then the money was left there for Joyfce to distribute. I met the defendant at the office once: it was after Fores deach it was between the time of Ford's death and Maguire's appointment. General McDonald aud Joyce were present at the time. It was on Saturday afternoon. I had taken the money there which I had collected

from the distilleries. I

han been tuere-half, an hour when KcKee came in. I was in the back room when I saw McKee. rhe mon-

had been divided by Joyce, and as Joyce handed KcKee one of the money packages McKee said, "Fitz* rov is here.'' McDonald replied 'Fitzroy is all right." Then McKee turned to me in a funny way and said. "Fitzroy this is a sacred thing keep it secret."

Fitzroy was asked if McKee said anything more, and added: He remarked that the amount was uoore than usual, and Joyce explained by saying that Ford was dead- ins money had just been divided into four parts, one was Joyce, one for McDonald, one for McKee and one myself. This was in October, 1873, about the last of October or beginning of November. I had conversation with Joyce aud McDonald with reference to who composed the ring, and they told me. r. Clover objected.

Uol. Dyer said they had established now sufficiently Mr: McKee's con* nected with the conspiracy to make revevant the accs of the conspira t^rs.

Judge Dillon ruled that the witness might be cross-examined in what he had testified io other.- the prosecution to withdraw him fr the present for further establishing McKee's connection with the conspiracy.

THE CROSS-EXAMINATION was then conducted by Judge Clover. The witness could not recollect what day he met McKee in the supervisor's office. He made a mem orandum of the amount contained in the package given to McKee at the request of Joyce, but could Hot remember when or where Joyce was when he made the request, nor why he thought an important memorandum should be made. Thememorandum was produced and read in McKee $480, witness further stated, I have no recollection of ever seeing a dollar handed to McKee other than the amount referred to. I haven't seen McKee at tbesupsrviser's office before, I did not know that lie was comiug on that occasion, nor did I know that he was expected. The package handed McKee by Joyce contained $480. After, AlcKeesaid to me: ''Fitzroy, this is a sacred thing you must keep it secret." I replied

I will not do anything or say anything tfcat will injure myself. I told Mr. Bevia of thiis after I had been before the grand jury in June. I have not to the contrary of whst I have sworn that knew nothing of any connectron between McKee, and the whiskey ring. I stattd indicted for ijury,and for connection with whiskey frauds.

Judge Clover was here asked if he intended to impeach the witness' testimony as to what he said before the grand jury, and he replied that he did.

Witness continued: I do not think I denied to the grand jury all knowl edge of the ring I do not recollect that I said I knew nothing of the re

Do not recollect ever having told anyone that I intended getting even with McKee. I did nut say, however, to a gentleman, that I was not very sorry for McKee, because McKee had caused the publication in the St. Louis Times, of the several articles against me. I never received letters advising me to testify against anyone to ^ave myself.

Here the cross-examination closed, aud the jury was placed in charge of the United States marshal, with instructions from the court to keep them secladed from all outside influence. Indianapolis Jan. 21.—The evidence in the case of Herman Brownjae, now on trial in the United States Court, was conducted this forenoon with the testimony of W. P. Keller, of Evansville, who testified concerning the circumstances relating to the white kid gloves Brewnlee wore to the Veatch wedding, aud which J. W. Bingham swore Brownlee had on when he, Bingham, paid him $500 at the Sc. George hotel, prior to his taking part in the wedding cerei monies. The witness alleging that Brownlee bad not placed his gloves on his hands until after he had reached the house of Mr. Babcock on the occasion of the wedding. The argument was begun this afternoon by the district prosecutor, and followed by Col. Steel for the defense, pending whose argument the court ad* journed. Col. Steel will finish in the morning, and be followed by Gen. Harrison for the defense, General Browulee making the closing argument.

SrOKH BEATEN BEECIIER.

HE HUE'S A SPEEUH TO HIS PARISHOSERS.

He Ilnrlrs Defiance at Judge Tan (Jott, Mrs. Moulton and the Ungodly Man.

New York,Jan.21.—At an adjournee annual meeting of the Plymouth church to-night, Mr. Beecber made a lengthy address in reference to the letters of Mrs. Moulton and Judge Van Cott, recently published. He alluded to the recent death of the daughter of Judge Van Cott as a reason why should have been impos* sible for him to have penned a letter containing falsehoods arraigning Plymouth church, and which a man with the instincts of a gentleman would not have written. Referring to the expressions in Van Cott's let* ter about coarseness of the pastor's speech, he said there has not a single communication come, from the other side but has been reeking with the words of crime, adultry, perjury and every other offensive epithet. It had been the stamp of that correspondence and they had been obliged to sit in church and listen to the reading of letters which no woman could hear read without blushing. It was proper in his, Judge Van Cott's judgment, for a woman to read all these letters of this class, but it was improper for the speaker to say a word in regard to them or their safety. Is a man, said he, in thundering tones, to stand in a community as long as I have and in a church as large as this which I havebuilt up under God, and after going through treats for five yeare, is a women to be permitted to lash him with her tongue, and at last when he stands up to say a word, is he to be adjudged coarse. Beecher denied that Plymouth Church had brokeu up tbe.'mutnal council and said it had never asked that any church named by other fide should be excluded. It wouli have gone on with council whether these churches withdrew or not, for Mr. Van Cott to state that Plymouth Church had broken down council, was absolutely false, they did not desire to go on with two men already sworn in on the other side. They had complained that the council did nnt take the evidence oj Franlin Woodruff, Francis D. Moulton, J. Richards. Mrs. Bradswaw Buck, Mr. and Mrs. Tiiton, Rev. Storrs, Kev. VV. W. Patton, the evangelists of misbelief. It was said that they would not call Mrs. Tiiton. She appeared twice. Mrs. Bradshaw had refused to come. Mr. Richards came aud said he would not answer. He held in his hand a letter from Mrs, Bradshaw, containing her refusal, one from Frank Carpenter, in which he piously refused to appear, and others of the sameclass, and now Mr. V*n Cott charges the committee with having slurred over evidence there. Said the speaker, strongly emphasizing each word, I wonder however, that a man bowed down with fatherly grief, should have gone so far.

He was the paid council of Mrs. Moulton, and was no doubt acting rightly, for her blood would tell. That was the spirit of a gentleman, and it would show itself whether he

was actiug

as an exparte counsel or

not, and it was an infamy aud a shame, for him to lay the pall over his daugther's face, and to charge bis own partner, John Wipslow, the man with whom he associated every day, with trying to evade the truth. The speaker then went on. This letter very fitly closes wiih a strain of jfiety preaching. You have been too long and well known in the best ciites and christian societies of Brook lyn, to make it necessary to vindicate yourself* Here he says, addressing the Joan of arc of Brooklyn, and I venture the opinion that before this painful conteoversy ends, your truthfulness and christian integrity will be recognized by all the world* You have properly cared for the good name and fame of the Congregation

al church, but the church must now take care of itself. It must determine for itself whethor its members can be driven from its hole without a hearing and trial, after they had stated a way for two years, aud whether iniquity can be so securely entrenched witiiin its walls that the inquiry cauaot drag it forth to the light of day. The inquiry is welcome to drag out wnatit can. Mr. Vau Cott speaks of unrevealed testimony. Yes, said the speaker, there is nodonbt plentvjof testimouy in the sources from which the other was taken but ther ." is no evidence. Congregationalism itself is now on trial. The letter stated and he was very willing to step aside and let something else be tried. The question? ii-jsv on trial were these: Whether neighboring churches may interfere with the discipline of another church whether they may violate proprieties in neighboring churches, and whether they may act uncharitably and sincerely, audjtheu call on the exparte council to ratify theirconduct.lt was noton trial with any doubtin his mind as to the issue. The councils might die, but the Congregational church would live,'he thought, uutil the millenium day.

When Beectier had concluded, Shearman'offered thefollowing resolution:

Resolved, That the committee on advising the council be authorized to amend the letter missive for that council by ,omitting sueh persons thereof as tHey may deem 110 longer necessary. This was unanimously adopted aud the meeting adjourued to meet next Friday evening.

E- itorial Cor«e*inn(lence,

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.

The Indiana editors may be said to be fairly "slopping over" with gratitude towards the Pennsylvania roadj whicn has carried them, and the hotels which have received them, and the many"persons who have-taken such an active interest in their behalf. Their countenances are rosy with good liuinor and molasses, and their voices husky with emotion and Philadelphia beer. The party which gathered at Indianapolis last Friday, numbered 264 persons, of which sixty-one were ladies.

WHO ARE EDITORS?

The editors (and among the list may ba=Be»nvM«yors, clerks-, grocery meif^ livery men, doctors and capitalists, who have "carried" country newspa pers for several years) were all as social as a basket of chips.

JOE CHEADLE'S BAD LUCK. Tbe first thing that occurred to mar the general joy of the whole party, was tbe ciouding of the erstwhile radiant features of Mr. Joseph Cheadle, of Rockville. Cheadle had put his head out an inch too far, and a seven dollar tile will be seen" no more.

It is fair to presume that a large proportion of tbe editors had never been East before, and their delight, at witnessing the Alleghany mountains, was unfeigned. At Altoona, a town strung out around mountains, we stopped for a five minute lunch. As the Hoosier quillists hurried out of the room, it was amusing to see the proprietors counting their spoons.

ARRIVING AT PHILADELPHIA, we were all taken to the Collonnade Hotel, on Chestnut street, but that bouse proving inadequate to entertain so many of us, a number of the party, of which your correspondent is one were sent to the LaPierre House, on.Broad street. Here Mr. J. B. Butterworth, the proprietor, has entertained us iu elegant fashion.

It will be impossible to state .r HOW SUNDAY WAS SPENT. But the generally bunged up appearance of all the editors at night, spoke volumes. In the morning we all went in a body to liaar

MOODY AND SANKEY

at tbe rink made from an old depot on Jupiter street north of Chestnut. As the editors hove in sight there was iustantaneous getting out of the way and whisperings of distress from those how thought that Hoosier-dom was populated with people wearing

RING3 IN THEIR NOSES,

and bells in their toes. It was therefore quite flattering to our editorial dignity to bear such expressions 5 as these: "Why they are decent /Not a particular.y.rough looking crowd fcc." The way was cleared Indiana stock was far above par. A man had but to say that he belonged to "the delegation,, when honors were heaped upon nim in great profusion. Imagine half ot the entire population of Terre Haute gathered in one hall, beneath a single roof, and all listening to utterances from the lips of one man, and you have the scene presented to one'seyes on that occasion,

FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE, whose upturned faces presented a living sea of varied colors, coveriag several acres, is a wonderful sight While the crowd was surging on, time was .^ad to look around.

As before stated, the building is an old depot of considerable extent. At one end*is a small platform.designed for the choir, which is able to seat twelve'hundred people. At the front andtn the eenter of tbis platform is a stand and an organ, the former from which Mr. Moody delivers his urgent appeals and the latter at which Mr. Sankeysits

brated songs. A heavy sounding board over the head of the speaker enables

his voice to roach the remotest parts of this vast building. The entire hall has been seated with rough chairs, and on tbe sides in immense red letters are number of scriptural quotations. When the doors were shut thousand of people were still on the streets, anxious for admittance. "Come thou fount of every blessing'? was rendered by the entire audience.

Mr. S*nkey then gave his FAMOUS HYMN. NINETY AND NINE. He certainly has a fino voico,and the fact that all present heard him, is a sufficient guaranty of its strength, still, in the opinion of your correspondent, he did not sustain his reputation. As a beautiiul and touching pieco of mu' sic, Dr. Munhall's "Almost Persuaded," is superior.

The writer took a3 full a long hand report of the addresses of Mr. Moody as tbe crowded state of his table would admit of, yet is forced to abandon the thought of publishing it on account of the press of other matter. Mr. Moody is a large man, wears a heavy red belt or sash, has only a mediocre voice, and a head set square on his shoulder? without the usual accompaniment of a neck. He began as follwws:

I have a very short text to night but there is a good deal, in it. This has been one of tbe most solemn days of my life. Tbe thought has come over me a dozen times to-day that I shall stand to-night before thousands of people whom I will never see again until I meet them at the gre:it jtfdg* meut day. The text I will address you on is this bimple word "Trust." He went Oil in simple style, with no attempt at oratory, and with an eye single to touching the hearts of those present. His discourse was a series of anecdotes, many of them very opportune, and most of them referring to death scenes. He stated that tbe text "It is better to trust in the Lord than to confide in man," had been ascertained by a convict to be the central paragraph in the eutire bible. His style is earnest and simple, calculated to arouse the dormant sympathies of the throng, but yet, if a comparison were drawn between him and Dr. Miinhall, the writer,would make it unfavorable to Mr. Moody.. The oratory of both is.of that kind which is native, which derives power rather from tlie subject discussed than the vesture of words in which presented, still what Mr. Moody possesses in this respect^ Dr. Munhall has intensified. There are thousands of preachers in the land who not only possess more native ability and a better education than this firm (tor neither are absolutely necessaryj but who also have more real earnestness ol manner and more personal magnetism, who could not in the city of Phila'delpbia draw a hundred people together. It seems, therefore, that mqody and Sankoy, attempting as they did, a novel style in England and Scotland, drew largely, and returning, on the strength of their great reputation, have filled these mammoth houses in Aaaerica. It is to be feared that the element of curiosity is largely predominant on this side of the waters.

At the close of the meeting fully 150 persons arose acknowledging conversion, and proceeded into the "inquiry rooms."

The next morning the editors went in a body to the CENTENNIAL GROUNDS

at Fairmount Park in West Philadelphia. Here the entire party was particularly fortunate in meeting Prof. Campbell of Rockville originater of the scheme and Mr. Ed. Walmsley of Terre Haute a former resident of Philadelphia, both of whom took great paius to elucidate and to whom we are profoundly grateful. The buildings areall neariug completion and art idea cau nw be had of the immensity of the project. If we don't make the potentates of the "effete monarchies" of the old world feel like crawling into some old hollow stumps when they see our wouders, and dying there, then will it be a marvel. As there are four months now intervening previous to the grand opening, aDd, as the GAZETTE is expected to be continually "working up" the Centennial until that time, all further comments will be reserved for a future date. The writer has his valise tilled with centennial documents, to the exclusion of the paper collar he brought, and will pour "larnin" on the readers of tne GAZETTE in qualities unlimited. The programme of the editorial part, only contemplated the Masonic Temple, Ledger office, aud the U. S. Mint, in addition to that already described, but through the courtesy of a friend the GAZETTE man andja few of the bushackers with him were enabled to visit Fairmount water works, and art gallery, the city markets, Girard college, several superb bridges,Earle's art gallery, Wanr amaker's clothing store, and a number of other places calculated to inspire wonder.

It is worth a melencholly thought that your# correspondent beholds numberless notes in Independence Hall and the Masonic temple et id imne genus, made at the expense' of a good note book and a Faber pencil number two, now worn away, -and comes to the conclusion that his letter will be loo prolix if he attempts to "work them up."
