McDonald , f f whisky ring notoriety.
The first assessment of ring money
was made iu 1871. Levies were uado
upon distilleries for alleged purposes
ot : i campaign fund , in return for
which t tey were alluwed to avoid pay
ment of interim ! rorenua. These
. monthly levies r.iised from 520,030 to
lifty times thai amount. Besides this

iru iu the habit of sending commis
sions into this district for the solo
purpose cf blackmail. Some of the
moneys thus obtained ho positively

run successfully by creating a fund to

GllAXr's TUIKU TEKM ASPIRATION.
\ In his first interview with Grant
, the president distinctly informed Mr.
Ford that ho ( McDonald ) had in
trusted certain matters to him ; that
ho understood everything , and that
whatever they wanted would be
forthcoming upon request.
Ill Octobef1874 , ou the occasion
of ono of Grant's visits to St. Louia ,
McDonald supplied him with a spank-
0 team of hot sea. The president
was so delighted that McDonald pro-
eenici him tha anini.aU and a rig
worth § .1,000. Grant did not care to
exhibit al the fan becauee his stock
was never awarded premiums. Ulc-
Donald became a member of the com
mittee on awards , induced Grant to
enter his young Hainbletonianworked
on other members , and had the blue
ribbon awarded to the animal over
many superior horses.
In December 18,1874 , McDonald
went to Washington , when ho handed
to Gen. Babcock at the white house
§ 5000 , collected from distillers by
Col. Joyce. ] 5abcock said he under
stood the same when it came. Dur
ing this visit ho mot Grant , who ex
pressed
THE GUEATEST GKATI1UDE
for the present of the te < itn and rig.
McDonald handed him a receipted
bill iu iho president's name , aud asked
for A small sum of money to make it
a bona tide transaction. Being hatid-
\ cd § 10 , § 7 were returned.

The paper goes on to mention sev-

i-tails { at length an interview had with
\ Grant on the subject of

niUSTOn's SECRET AGENTS ,
ac which the president said they
S ould be recalled. He speaks of
ecrer.il interviews had with Babcock
, nndVertiere \ , pointedly the occasion
wtien he gave the private secretary
money. After Bristow had become
possessed of the inner working of the
Iring , Grant promised McDonald his
projection. McDonald estimates that
Babcock received $ 25,000 directly
Trom the ring , besides much more
rom the blackmailers.

Spcd.il Dispatches to Tils Bits
WASUIXOTON , August 9 1 a. m.
The following letter was given to
the press Sunday :
BLOOMIXGTON , I'l. ' , August 4.
My Dear Sir : The training and
habits of my lifo naturally lead me to
prefer civilians to soldiers for the great
civil trust , but aa the parties arc or
ganized voters mnat cheese between
the candidates they present or must
stand aloof , which no good cit zen
ought to do in ; x presidential election.
I have no hesitation in supporting
Hancock for the best of reisons of
my mind , because liia election will
put an end to sectional strife and
sectional parties and will revive a
patriotic sentiment nil over the land ,
where political leaders and factiono ,
for sinister ends , have sought to pre
vent. Tiiere can be no permanent
pn-sper.ty without pacification.
Great as were the achievements of
Gen. Uauccck in the war , his conduct
in peace , when in command of Louis
iana and Texas iu 1S07 , was still
greater , and com-uends him to the
confidence of the country. That was
a * , a time when passion ruled in the
public councils and military power
was cxertid to silence civil authority.
The temptation wa ? strong tc sail
with the rushing current , for an in
flamed partisan opinion was too ready
to condone excesses and to applaud
oppression.
Gen. Hancock's order No. 40 , In
assuming charge of the fifth military
district , announced that the right of
trial by jury , the habeas corpus , the
liberty of the press , the freolom of
speech , the natural rights of persons ,
and the right of property , must bo
respected. The principles are the ba
sis of free government , and the pro
d-timing of them by Gen. Hancock
stands out in striking contrast with
the action of his superior who , soon
after , rebuked and drove him from the
command foi ; tittcrii g acntiraentn
worthy of a soldier. The soldier ,
clothed with extraordinary power ,
voluntarily uncovered before the civil
authority , sheathed his sword and tes
tified his fidelity to the constitution
and sot an example of obedience to
law which will pass into history as his
strongest claim to distinction. The
man who , in the midst of the excite
ment of that stormy period , was cool
enough to see his duty clearly and
was strong enough to execute it firm
ly , may well be trusted in any crisis.
His letter to Gen. Sherman , recently ,
brought to light , lifts Gon. Hancock
far above the past appreciation of his
civil ability. It marks him as one of
the wisest of his time , with a states
man's grasp of mind and the integrity
of a patriot , whom no sense of expe
diency could swerve from his honest
convictions. A long and unchecked
position of power by any party , leads
to extravagance , corruption and IOOBO
practices. After twenty yoara of
domination by tlierepublic.inachronic
public service like barnacles on the
bottom of a stranded ship. There is
no hope of reform by the leaders who
have created a aytcm of nighidtninis-
( ration and who are interested in per
petuating its evils. Nothing abort of
the sternest reform gives any promise
of effective reform , and the first stop
towards it is a change of rulers. The
government must bo got out of the
ruta in which it has too long been run.
Now blood must bo infused in the
management of public affairs before
relief can bo expected. The people
demand a change and , being in cam-
cat , are likely to be gratified.
Yours sincerely ,
DAVID DAVIS.

LONDON , August 9 , 1 a. m. A Ber

parations are the order of the day in
the Balkan peniiuuli. The Turks
are repairing the fortifications at Sa-
lonica. Troops ' continually arrive
from Galliopolia , some being sent
north while others remain to protect
the important harbora , The Monte
negrins have called on every able-bod
ied man. The Anlivari forts are being -
ing constructed under tha superin
tendence of the Russian Col. Count
Solohub , a resident for aome time at
the exposed fort. The Greek govern
ment has invited volunteers from
Thessaly and Epiius , buf as yet few
have come. The signal for war being
expected from the powersorders have
been given to the border brigands to
stop operations until further notice ;
accordingly the frontier has never en
joyed a atate of more
ABSOLUTE OKUEll AND QUIET
than upon the eve of war. Neither
are the Bulgarians behindhand in
their warlike movements. The lead-
ers of the secret commission of Bui-
garia and East Roumelia have met at
Tirnova to concert the details of the
joint action to begin as soon as the
order is given at St. Petersburg. All
the leaders , as well as the members of
these commissions , being civil and
military officers , it is by courtesy that
they are called secret , and their ac
tion is represented HJJ. distinct from
that of their respective governments ,
co-operating with the cer..ral rail-Bul
garian commission at Sophia. There
arc secondary fraternities in the Ro-

TROUBLES AF.E SOT LIMITED TO El'KOl'E
It is well known that apart trom
the religious hostility common to the
East , the Armenians , who speik the
Turkish language as a second mother
tongue , but very recently , did not be
long to the Ottoman empire , whose
trade and finance they largely con -
duct. Things , however , have
changed lately. The porte , for politi ;
cai ascendancy on the Bosphorus , and
for the ousting of their commercial
competitors , the Greeks , having
aroused the Constantinople Armen
ians , numbers of them are now
Russians to the core , no endeavors
of the porte to briug them back to
their ancient allegiance being of avail.
The other day the porte , to curry fa
vor with these novel recusants , ap
pointed Artun Dadian Bey , one of Pie !
richest Stamboul Armenian.0 , under
secretary of etate in the board eraf
trade. No sooner did this appoint
ment transpire than the Armenians ,
who two yea s ago would have con
gratulated themselves upon the eleva
tion of their to-nationalist , assembled
in front of hjs house and denounced
him aa a traitor to their cause. To
obviate .worsej consequences , Artun ,
the following diygolemnly assured the
\rraenian patriots that , though be
might ; bp rendering commercial ser
vices , ho had no hand in refuting the
arguments of the powers. Among
the many strange features of the pres
ent criiis , it la ona of the strangest
that the porte is endeavoring to keap
Russia from Constantinople.

TUB CODE DENOUNCED.
WASHINGTON' , August 9 , 1 a. m.
"Hamburg" Butler , who is at his
homo in South Carolina , on being
asked what action he intended to take
concerning : an abusive letter of Col.
Cash , the duellist , which had been
addressed to him , and had been sent ,
also , to the press and published , re
plied : "Col. Cash's letter to me shows
him to bo a lunatic or a blackguard ,
and , of course , I cannot notice him in
either capacity. I have done him no
harm , and if I had injured him , it is
usual among gentlemen , as a first step ,
to ask for an explanation. Instead of
this , he Ina chosen to write rae a let-
ter : by mail which does him more
harm than it does me. He ia welcome
to all the notoriety ho may acquira , in j 1
this vulgar , coarse exhibition of a
bard and malicious heart. I have not
noticed , and do not intend to notlca
anything ho may say. " The animus
of the attack msdo by Cash ou Butler
arises from Butler's having written a
very strong letter denouncing the ac
tion of Cash in brutally forcing a
duel upon the venerable Judge Shan-
' '
at the
first firo. The people generally ap
plaud Butler in his letter , as they do
the Charleston News and Courier for
the courage displayed in making war
upon the barbarous practice of duel
ling as carried on in some sections of
South Carolina.
FATHER TO SON.
Still a great deal more trouble is
expected to qrow out of the Cash-
Shannon difficulty , that ia , provided
Cash is not convicted and sent to
prison. Even then it is expected that
liia son will iako the father'i place and
challenge at least some of the promi
nent citizens who have denounced his
father. *
OEOKCIIA COTTON RUSTINd.
Advices from Georgia state that
blaok rust has appeared in the cotton
Selds. It is feared that the plant will
bo effected seriously by its ravages ,
but only in certain sections. With
this exception , the crop is doing re
markably well. In several prominent
counties in the state , it Is thought
that the crop will not be an average
one , notwithstanding an increased
average in some sections of the stato.
The corn crop is turning out badly ,
and the planters say they will bo sat-
isfiad if they make a half crop.
I'ROSFEKOUS SOUTH CAROLINA. _
From South Carolina it ia reported .
that the crops generally throughout
the atate are exceptionally line , and
an abundant harvest of corn is ex
pected , also a fine cotton crop. It ia
thought that if there is no backset the
plant cotton yield will be the largest
made for years. It ia estimated that
many acres will yield twelve to eigh
teen hundred pounds of seed cotton.

The oats crop is also reported to be
firat-clasa.

GOOD SOUTHERN CROPS.
It is taid that the report of the de

port of lact month.

Yor.K , August 7 I p. m.
Tanner has for the past twenty-four
hours appeared br'ghtcr , livelier and
stronger and more energetic than for
dnya ; previous. lie waa very weak ,
however , and his exertion was the
result of stimulation prcduced by the
increased number of spectators.
What Tanner's movements will bo
ter ho recovers his strength nobody
appears to know. It is conjectured
that ho will practice medicine in Now
York and lecture. Tanner began the
,
hut twelve hours of hia forty daya
fast at 12 o'clock last night. Ho was
then resting quietly , but shortly
after midnight ho aaked for
water and drank one ounce.
Immediately after drinking hn be
gan lo vomit violently and thought it
was very foolish for his stomach to act
go when he intended to use it so well
very aeon. At 2 a. in. Dr. Wark
came in ns a special watch , much to
the delimit of Tanner. At 2:25 : the
walking of some one on the floor of
hall put the faster into a violent
temper. Ho would not be appeased
until the noisy party was put out.
At 4 o'clock ho fell asleep and ap
peared very little like a starving .
man.Oi the
GOOD COLOU AND LOOCLIr'WELL.
Ho awoke at 0:10 : and soaked his foot
in hot mustard water. While taking
the bath Tanner's brother-in-law , M.
M. Gardner , of Litchfield , O. , came
in. The meeting was most affecting.
Both gentlemen were much overcome
by emotion. At 7 o'clock Tanner
complained of nausea , and shortly after
he vomited. At 9 o'clock ho waa ly
ing in bed in his clothes , excepting his
coat. Ho was apparently bearing
up well as ho asked to have some Cal
ifornia grapes to-day , declaring that
ho was not afraid of them for the first
day. Ho held another interview with
hia brother-in-law and tears were ob
served rolling down his cheeks while
Hiking with Gardner who married
his younger sister. The attending
physicians wished to prevent any pro
longation of the interview , but Tan
ner said ho know hia own business
and talked on.
1VATEUMELONS VfERB ARUIVIXG
at . . the hotel from various sources , and
telegrams ! were being constantly re
ceived from different parts of the
country one from Minnesota , invit-
ina the faster to a barbecue. At 10
o'clock Tanner , In attempting to get
on his feet , found ho was unable to
stand , and smilingly called for
assistance to carry him to a largo
arm chair at the window , where ho
sita good-humoredly meeting all corn-
era. The hall waa thronged with people
ple of the highest class. An immense
watermelon arrived , a present from
the horticultural association of Geor
gia , in session at Atlanta , Ga. Tanner
looks well , and says he would not be
afraid , . to , fast a few days longer.
The physicians look upon
his high spirits as unnatural.
TUB CLOSING IIOUU.
At 11 a. m. Dr. Tanner came down
from the gallery and took a seat in the
center of the hall , where on long tables
were spread all the presents ho has re-
ccivedaince ho began hia fast. These
consisted of innumerable varieties of
food , tonics , slippers , and the like.
Among the presents was a box of shin
gle nails. Ho appeared in better co i-
dition than at any period since the six
teenth day. The doctor held tightly
to a Hjilendid peach , which ho said he
said ho would bite when'tho clock
strikes 12. The hall waa crowded ,
and ; vj the final hour approached the
excitement grew intense
The doctor bad a spell of retching
shortly after 11 o'clock , and was
obliged to retSfc to an ante-room ,
where ho suffered greatly. At lllf :
a. m. a drop of blood was taken fron :
the doctor for microscopic cxniiny
tion by Prof. Vanderweyer in the

with oagerinterest. |

Dr. Tanner , after nearly demolish

walked down stairs without assistance ,
followed by hir watchers , and wai
hurried into a carriage , being greeted
with hearty cheering by an immense
crowd in the street. Many pressed
forward and shook hands with the doc
tor , and it was some time before the
carriage could proceed. The doctor ,
with two physicians , Gunn and Roil-
ly , waa then driven to Dr. Gunn's
residence , where he will be in the
work of build up his waated forces.
Upon reaching Dr. Gunn'a residence
Dr. Tanner immediately laid down on
a lounge in the parlor , and-endeavor-

NEW YOUK , August S 10 p. m.
In answer to inquiries , Dr. Work , who
is still i attending Tanner , says milk
an watermelon had no more harm
than : if thn doctor had partaken of
an ordinary meal while in a normal
condition. Ho did not think ha would
belie affected by nausea , as generally be
lieved , owing to the terrible strain on
his : stomach , and was satisfied ho
would bo able to partake of nourishing
inj food right along , the same aa if ho
had not fasted. "It certainly was , "
he said , ' 'a remarkable case , and the
at ! physicians would watch the
process of recuperation with the ut
most interest. To-day , " said Dr.
Work , "the doctor has got more fat '
on his body than I , and his strength
is beyond comprehension. "
Two or three physicians will re
main on duty at Guiin'a residence
until it is apparent Dr. Tanner lus
recovered sullioiently to warrant him
in attending to business. Dr. Work
thought Tanner would bo

Uo partook of watermelon occasion

A dispatch received from a physi
cian in IJul'iefonte , O. , which reads :
" "When the fast ends , nse : i friction
brush witli dry mustard ; diet upon
fresh milk with ice the size of a pea
every ten minutes : mustard drafts to
ankles. " Tanner remarked , in refer
ence to this and other advice ho had
received , that

thought ho didn't know anything ;
that ha had been through this thing
before , and knew his stomach , and
understood exactly what he was do
ing. He declared he would not be
dictated to by any one.
Dr. Ttittle , professor of anatomy in
the United States medical college in
this city , says in reference to tag-fast :
ONE or THE FIKST WATCHERS.
At the first examination Dr. Tanner
vas stripped down to his undcrcloth-
, and I said I was not satisfied with
hat ; I wanted to see his skin. Hia
hirt , drawers and socks were removed
and he held up his arms to show that
10 had nothing about him to support
ifo no food cnncealed. Then I toru
ip the carpet in the dresaing-room.that
> eing the only carpet in the hall. I
lave since been on the watch twice a
week ; on the first of the night several
imcsup to midnight , and Bometimes
rom midnight till morning. His bow-
chh have been entirely inactive , and
, ho fast til the system bus been princl-
) ally through the kidneys. The ox-
mlations from the akin and lungs ac
count for the waato that has taken
ilaco over and above the amount of
luids taken into the system in the
shape of watir and ico. I believe the
'ast to bo
A FERKECELY HOXEST ONE.
[ don't believe a more honorable set
of physicians and gentlemen conld be
"ound anywhere than hart- been con
ducting the watch. Tl'.jre have beou
h-ea schools represented a great part
of the time eclectic , alopathic and

JERSEY CITY , N. J. , August 8 10
p m. Work at the shaft of the
Hudson river tunnel where the bodies
of twenty workmen lie buried , is almost
most entirely suspended , and it is
probable the bodies will not be recov
ered for a month to come. The new
pump put in the working shaft yester
day proves a complete failure , and
the water fiowa so rapidly in the cjf-
fer-dam that digging had to be sus
pended. Officers of the tunnel will ,
it ia expected , now alter their
plans and begin building a caisson.
This will , however , be attended with
considerable risk , bn. it appears to i be
the only way of reaching the lies
and will take about a month.
