Monday Evening, Jan. 24,1876

MORTON still has a small peiceof his sbirt^ very red and very dirty which he hopes to make shift to shake iu the breezes. Bad health and other pressing matter prevented his holding the whole garmeut up to the public gaze at one and the same time.

BLAINE has views on the financial question to which lie hopes to give vent in a few days. In fact the gentleman from Maine seems to have occupied all his leisure moments during the summer, aud even sat up some of nights writing out speeches upon all imaginable questions.

TJie CiBgre88ional Recoril. Congressmen have a habit of correcting the proofs of their speeches before they are printed iu "The Record." It is called correcting the proof, but it really is a revision of the speech, and often extends beyond a mere change in the mode of expression, and includes what with elision and substitution, the publica tion sometimes of almost a new speech. A remarkable instance in point, is'the speech, or speeches, of Beu Hill of Georgia, for there were really two of them. He made, as the readers of the GAZETES 111 remember from the telegraphic report published, a very bitter speech in reply to Blaine. It abounded in vitupera tion, was filled with mistatements concerning the treatment by the North of# rebel prisoners, defended Andersonville, as a very decent and orderly place, pretended that the North had been more brutal in the care of prisoners than the South, and generally bore evidence that its au thor was an unregenerate rebel, who, having done no fighting during the war himself, felt wonderfully pug nacious now that hostilities were ended, aud who having been, as a rebel Senator, the author of a resolu tion iu reference to the treatment o? bur soldiers, which would have disgraced Captain .lack or his blood thirsty Modocs, had the effrontery to talk in an American Congress of the brutality of the North, to the more than human leniency of which hie is a living monument. Such a speech wag the one Hill delivered in Congress.. His speech in "The Record" if it be not a shame to drag an innofensive horse into such bad company, is a horse of an entirely different color. It is bad enough there, but nothing compared to the spoken speech. He has gone over the whole with great care and made out a new speeeh by means of which he hopes to cheat the future historian into the belief that he liad a little decency left. It is something to his credit that he made the change, though we should have ex* pected as much of a cannibal if by the accidency of our elective system he had found his way to Congress and had had the great misfortune to deliver such a speech. It would be a good change, however, in the rules of our Congress if the spoken speech and the record were made to correspond pre. cisely. The truth of history should not be falsefied in this open and brazen fashion. Men should be made to stand by their utterances, or if they will not sustain them, then fall by them.

Journalistic Morality.

Considerable space is given in todays GAZETTE to thelittl controversy at present being waged between our bellicose neighbors. Each one of them insists that it is more moral than its rival. It might strike the average reader, that their joint stock of morality is hardly a matter worth fighting about.|but that would only show how slight the average readent knowledge of human nature iJ,not to know that a man will fight for his last penny mere vigorously not to say valiantly, than for a hand full of penny9 out of an abundant store.

One faot about the controversy pleases the .GAZETTE, and that it that these doughty champions have, at last, been aroused to the point of standing up, however feebly, for the side of morals. This result, we are inclined to attribute to the efforts— we speak modesty as becomes us—of the GAZETTE, ably assisted as it has been by the Horticultural society. In time we hope to have our wicked morning contemporaries make open confessidn and stand up valiantly and always, for the side of decency and morality. Assisted by them we do not despair of reforming the wickMail Into this con '.rover^fTour morn-' ing eontemporares it will be observed that Rev.-E. F. Howe baa

the controversy to any

extent, or caring to disciiaa it, one .• or two things may be" said and that distinctly. First, it is neither fair nor manly to hit a mau behind bis back or from under cover. Second, it is not decent journalism to withr hold the name of a correspondent who attacks anybody, from the part attacked, unless the editor fathers the article himself. Both these propositions are axiomatic and need no demonstration. If a person can't see them at first sight they never cau be reasoned into him. The congregation is dismissed.

P. 8. In continuing the controversy, we must caution our contemporaries to boil their articles down, or in reproducing them the GAZETTE will be compelled to do it for them. In a word, draw it short and strong.

PROCEEDINGS IN HIS TRI SATURDAY.

jStroiig Evidence Against the Accused.

St. Louis, Jan. 22.—The Uuited States courtroom was crowded again to-day, and the halls outside were full of people who could not get into the court. The first witness wa*

B. H. ENGELCKE,

the firm of Uernecker & Co., rectifies. After stating that his firm had handled a good deal of crooked whisky, the witness recounted along conversation he had with McKee at the Globe-Democratic office, in October, 1874, of which the following is the substance:

I went to McKee at the solicitation of H. Hardaway, ex-United States storekeeper, and told him that Joyce had promised Hardaway that he should be given an iuterest in the Busby distillery, and that the product of that distillery should not be subject to levies for the ring purposes. Ia consideration of this, Henry Hardaway was to take care of Chaa. Hardaway, his brother, Megrue and other, fellows who threatened mis« chief. Hardaway complained that Joyce was dealing double with him, and that he and McDouald were always throwing obstacles in his way. Hardaway declared he would have nothing more to do with Joyce, and threatened if the Busby distillery arrangement was not carried out, he and hi» friends, most of whom were gaugers and store-keeper?, and knew all about the illicit distilling that had been carried on, would expose and break up the ring. I told McKee that this was the arrangement insisted upon by Hardaway and his friends, and that if it was not carried out they would burst the ring. 7 also told him they had brought Supervisor Munn, of Illinois, over here had gone around with him at night and showed him. what the Busby house was doing, that Charles Hard away had or was to have a commission from the Secretary of the Treasury to go through this district, and with the knowledge he had he knew just where to strike the ring. McKee asked if this was the only way they could be kept quiet, and I replied that this was the only thing they would accept, and furthermore Hen ry Hardaway had particularly requested me to say to him, McKee that he made the bullets and Char les fired them, and that if he,McKee, and the ring could stand it they, the Hardaways, could. McKee then said he would drop a note to Joyce and have him come over and see him. I said that Joyce was not at his office, McKee then said

TRY AND KEEP THEM QUIET for a few days and I will see what can be done. I told him that would not do, as Haraway and Barton were outside waiting for me, and wanted a postive and immediate answer. They bad declared they would have no more shilly shalling. McKee told me he would see Joyce in the morn ing and for me to tell them that be would see that the arrangements they desired would be carried out. I then left and told the parties.what McKee had said and they seemed satisfied. Shortly afterward Henry Harkaway went into the Bii9by distilleryas manager and remained till about Febuary when they had a quarrel dmong themselves and burst up. The distillery was run according to the arrangement made and the whisky went to Robb's house and my house for rectification, and some was brought with stamps and some without stamps. If they had no stamps they sent it naked.

The witness also gave an account of -I "ANOTHER CONVERSATION he had with McKee shortly after in dictment had been found againet the latter, in which the witness stated that McKee attempted to make him believe that the conversation above related was about some goods of the witness which had been seized in Colorado, and that witness had askod him to intercede in his behalf with Collector Maguire, and secure their release. Witness continued: McKee asked me to refresh my memory regarding the matter, and determine if be was not right. I told Mr. McKee that it was absurd that I should go to him td invoke htt influence with Maguire for interference with concerns of the local officers of Colorado. If I had had any goods under seizure there I would have known what to do without going to bim. I then remerked something to this effect, Mr. McKee you are an old man ana

OUGHT TO HAVE MORE SENSE. than to talk such nonsense. I never had any other conversation with McKee, never had any conversation at all of the character which he detailed.

During the cross examination of the witness he was questioned very closely concerning the divorce which he obtained from his first wifa in 1867, the purpose of the defense be* ing to show that he was a bigamist, hut this they failed to do, and the court stopped further inquiry into his family affairs

The witness again described the conversation with McKee at the Globe-Democrat office, but the defense failed to break down his statements made in direct examination. A good deal of other testimony was brought out. It related to acte of

bearing upon McKee. In reply to.a question, witness said he was under indictment, and pleaded guilty to some counts of the indictment^ against him. He was asked why it was he bad pleaded guilty only to such counts as charged him wstb misdemeanor, wliy hb did not plead guilty to those charging him with felony, as he had admitted felooy in his testimony. He replied that be had left the whole matter to bis attorney, and had followed his advice. The defence evidentey designed or desired to show that by this act atwitness, he had been asked to turn state evidence, or offered some indcements to take such a course, or was promised indulgence at the hands of the prosecution, but he emphatically denied this. s. D. THORPE, ex-United States storekeeper, was the next witness, and testified to having performed strvice at variou3 distilleries, and teceived money from the distilleries for the ring and for himself. Witness continued: I remember when Megraecame here last June. I saw him at the Lindel hotel on the day of his arrival. The same evening I saw McKee, and he asked me if I could not arrange an interview with Megrue, aud I told him I thought I could. I saw Mergue again that night, and told him of McKee's besire to see him, nnd he said he would be glad to see I-.IeKee. I then went to the Globe-Democrat office and told McKee what Megrue had said. He told me he did not wish to visit the hotel to see Megrue, but would like to meet him

IN SOME IAKIC SECLUDED SPOT. We talked the matter over and agreed upon the corner of Seventh and St. Charles streets as a place of meeting. Megrue refused to leave the hotel. 1 then went to the place appointed, and told McKee of Megrue's decision, and we went to the hotel together and entered at the ladies' entrauce, and I introduced McKee to Megrue and left them together. I saw McKee the day after the interview and talked over what Megrue intended to do. I was afraid Megrue would do McKee au injury. I talked with MgKee and told him I thought they ought not to indict him as he could be of great use to others, who were under the indictment at the time, or three days after Megrue came here. I saw McKee in his office and went down stair3 to have a talk. The room we went into was in tlie cellar- McKee was very anxious to know whethe he was to te indicted or not. He said if he escaped the indictment, he could be of great service to those who'were indicted. McKee asked me how Mfgrue felt I told him I did not know how he felt, but theught if he was taken before the grand jury he would tell all he knew. We talked over Joyce's connection with Megrue. McKee said Joyce thought he was very smart, but he got picked up by Megrue. We talked about other matters, and McKee*s{tid the distilleries were all good enough until it came to putting up money, and then they weakened. I saw Megrue and McKee together several times afterwards, and we talked the matter over. Our conversation was in regard to the disabilities and the indictments.

McKee said he was going to Washington and would get it fixed up. He asked me if I knew what Megrue was going to testify to before the grand jury, and I told him I did not. I was not under an indictment at that time,- but was subsequently.

In the cross examination of this witness, the defense did not question him regarding his interviews or conversations with McKee, but tneir efforts were mainly confined to at tempting to force him to admit that he perjured himself by swearing to one thing before the grand jury, and another before the court but they drew no direct admissions from him. He did state, however, that during his official term, he supposed he violated all the requirements of his po sitioe, and that there are four indictments for connections with the whisky frauds, to two of which he has pleaded guilty. He denied having received any assurances that his testimony in these cases would secure him light punishment.

C. G. MEGRUE

was recalled and questioned regard ing his nterview with McKee, at the Lindel hotel, in June. He said: When McKee came into my room he sat down and began talking in a gen eral way about the whisky ring, the excitement here pertaining to the grand jury, and about my indict ment. He showed be was consider* ably excited, and said he felt I had it in my power to save him, and wanted to know if I would do it. I replied that I would have all I could do to save myself that I was thinking of a course to pursue and didn't know whether I would tell all or not tell anything. McKee said it was au un fortunate affair and felt sorry for me, and i.*s

WANTED ME TO HELP HIM

if I could. At the time of this conversation I had not been before the Grand Jury, I said if I testified to the truth I would say there was a certain amount of money paid to me, and I disbursed it in a certain way, and that I paid jobn Leavenworth money to be given to McKee and Ford. I said to McKee that I would tell this to the Grand Jury, that I divided themoney into five parts, keeping one part for myself and giving one part, to Joyce and McDonald. After! had been before the Grand Jury, I called at McKee's house, in obedience to a premise I had mlfde to him. I told him I had told the truth before the Grand Jury. He dfdn't make any special remark when I told him this

In|answer to the question whether witness paid any money to John LeaVenworth and directed him to pay it to McKee, Judge Glover objected. Ho said: The counsel for McKee were now at that stage of the proceedings wb«u they were entitled to know if the state had introduced all the testimony they had, to prov^ McKee's connection with the whisky

ring. Col. Broadhead said the state might introduce th* evidence from time to tfme as it may be developed.

The court asked: Do you propose to introduce the declarations of Leaven worth as one of the conspirators?

Col. Brodhead answered that they did, and

proposed to

show that mon

ey was received by McKee by the declarations of Leavenworth, before aud after the payment. Upon this I joint a lengthy argument ensued, like jury havingJbeensent to their hotel, and no more testimony waa taken.

THE PRESIDENT.

Washington, Jan. 23.—As the President did not on Friday, in tho transmission of tho documents relation to affairs between the United States and Spain to the House, deem it proper at this time to include tho correspondence between our Government and other foreign Governments on the interference question, it is not probable, from what can be ascertained, that he will furnish the correspondence in compliance with the call of the House made on Saturday.

TUB SPIRIT OF INVESTIGATION.

Several members of (he House Committee on Appropriations are looking into the inequality which prevails in the army relative to retired soldiers. They say they cau Bee no reason why some officers maimed in Mia late war should be retired on the fulL rank with corresponding pay, while others ho held a high* rank and were severely maimed or disabled should receive only $30 a month. They will make au effort to remedy this immediately and they are also looking intj the question of foreign officers who turn over their supplies for private livery. certain.

Tho Congressional friends of the Centennial 91,500,000 appropriation bill regard its passage certain, though not by as large a majority as wag at tirst anticipated.

A DIFFERENCE.

While all the House Committees aro striving to make large reductions of expenditures in all branches of the public service, and will doubtless so report in all their appropriation biliB.it is not probable that the House will be seconded by the Senate to its full extent,unless it is plainly made to appear that the public service will be largely benefited by the reductions.

LET IT ALONE.

A large number of the- members of Congress express themselves opposed to the disturbance of the tariff—certainly not to any important extent.

Washington, Jan, 23.—Hon. E. C, Smith, late (yommissioner of Indian Affairs, has been'invited by the American Missionary Association to visit Africa and inspect the missions of the society in that country, and to inquire into the best method of enlarging its work, and to find the most hopeful field for its further missionary opera tions among the Africans. The Trus tees of the Howard University have granted leave of absence for this purpose, without salary, and Mr. Smith will sail in a few days.

DR. NEWMAN.

Rev. Dr. Newman was before the House Committee on Expenditures of the State Department to-day, and an swered many questions concerning the various American consulates he had visited, giving the results of his observations of their business. This information was desired in view of the fact that the consular and diplomatic ap proprlation blIT is to be reported-to the House next week: The committee has also visited the State Department.

MOB LAW.

A Murt-'erer Hangfd in Virginia. Cincinnati, Jan. 23.—A Gazette special says: Edward Williams, who, with Mrs. Meeling, was arrested for the murder of the latter's husband, was taken from jail last night, at Barbours ville, Weht Virginia, and hanged by a mob. The parties were assured by a minister that sufficient evidence of their guilt had been obtained and that the jail was surrounded by a mob qt excited people, but both denied any complicity in the act, although the minuter continued praying with tbem and asking a confession.

The mob finally foroed the keys from the jailor, took Williams out and plac ed him under a tree in the court house yard, where, with a rope around his neck, standing on a barrel, he made a confession, expressing the hope that the crowd might obtain God's forgiveness for their crime, as he had for his and declared that he was happily started on bis journey home to heaven." He died after Altera minutes of terrible agony.

Mrs. Meeling, was then brought out, and placing her in front of the dead marderer the crowd called for her confession. She said Williams had been her paramour for three years that she had beed trying for the past three months to poiaou her husband, without success that Williams struck Meeling on the bead with an axe while be was

asleep,Wednesdaynight,cutting

his throat afterwards. She assisted in destroying evidences of the murder and in burying Meeling. She accused herself of being the cause of the murder, but begged pitifully lor her life. Though the feeling

was

very strong against her,

and the crowd voted nnanimously for her execution, no man could be found who would put a rope around the. wo man'sneck,and she waa returned to the jail.

BYE SIGHT.

"SICLIt i.e INc precious gift of I »ii., creator." The anlitoraiea! construction of the Eye is the mi ss eomplisaisi and delicate of all the orgai oimates, tiisrofore we ought to to be mcio eareitii of sae Eyes than any other part of .our organization, and yet lis nothing so much abused. They are made prematurely old, by wearing glasses

there lis nothing so much abused. They are I WM. CLIFF, made prematurely old, by wearing glasses which are either too atr'/ng or too weak. Amaurosis and itskindied diseases are pro.duced by wearing. glasses which, are defective, and whfn glasses are worn which do not fit the sight exactly. All these Difllenltiea can be be Obviated by having spectacles accurately adapted to the eyes, by using glasses which are ground accurately, and which produce no Priimatic rays of light.

WE C£AI8f FOR THE

Peruvian Pebble Specta-*-cies and Eye-Glasses,

The following advantages over all othors: 1st. Being a natural stone and almost as hard as the diamond, it. is utttrly impossible to scratch or deface them. 2d, They are perfectly qolorless, a property which no other Glass or Pebble has. 8d. Each lens is ground, polished and centered with such ezact nicety, that tne slightest imperfection is impossible. 4th. Being much harder than any other Glass or Pebble, they are consequently cooler to the eyes, and can be used for a greater nember of cehsecutive hours, without latieuelng the weakest eyes. 5th. The sight,

Instead of becoming1weak

er, as with tire ordinary spectacle and re quiring frt quent cnange, gets stronger, ant one pair will last a great many years 6th. We warrant tbem not to brea) through any fault In the manufacture el the Spectacle, and should they do so, out agent will repair them free of charge. 7th. The frames are made of the finestmaterial, highly polished, and tempered, light strong, and durable.

We warrant every pair of our PERUVIAN SPECTACLES aud EYE GLASSES to be a PURE STONE aud not Glass. None genuine unless stamped with my

genuine unless stamped trade mark. 8. B, FREEMAN, Fine Watches, Jewelry & Silverware, body who says that
