Wamiiiotow, April 7.—On the night
of the 23-1 of April. 1874, the fire-proof
uf« ia the office of the United State*
District Attorney in thi* city waa blown
open with powder, and a lot of book*
uid papert which were done up in a bun
dle «u taken therefrom and carried by
one of the burglar* to the honae of Co-
lumbu* Alexander. The explosion oc-
tarred about on# o'clock ia tbe morning,
•ud wa* *o great that it blew down the
folding door* which separated the two
room* occupied by the District Attor
ney’* office, and startled the people in
th# neighborhood. The Aaiistant Dis
trict Attorney, Kichord Harrington, was
on tbe outride, with the Superintendent
of Police and the Chief of Detectives
and a brother of Boat Shepherd. One
A- B. William*, a police-court lawyer,
tu also of the party watching. The
burglar* were so *oold in their operations
that they carried their tool* into the
building shout ten o'clock, and were ob-
nt-rred by parties passing along the
street.
At tbo time of this remarkable occur
rence tbe joint committee of the two
l.ouaee of Congress wero investigating
the Board of Public Works, and the Dis
trict ring, with “Bo**" Shepherd et it*
h'-otl, wa* being pressed cloee to the
wall. The memorialists who wero pnsb-
mg thi* investigation on the part of the
citizen* of the District had jast closed
their case against the ring government,
and the next day (April 24) was the day
set by the committee to drive about the
city and view the work which bad becD
done by the Board of Public Works. It
wa* at this juncture that the conspiracy
which had been concerted to bring the
memorialist* into disgrace was consum
mated. A half-dozen of the most prom
inent of tbe gentlemen who were prose
cuting the case against Boss Shepherd
and his fellow-thieves were in tbe habit
of meeting at the house of Columbus
Alexander after the cloee of the day’s
work at the capitol and discussing among
themselves tliei r plan* of future action.
All this wn* noted by tho ring thievos,
uud their plans were laid accordingly.
They intended to have tho hired burg,
lure blow open the safe in the District
Attornoy’s office and carry tho papers to
Alexander's house and hand thorn into
the gentlemen gathered there, and right
on the heels of the burglars the officers
were to como and nrrest the whole party
nod drag them off to tbe police head
quarters and lock them up. This well-
laid plan failed in the first instanco by
the burglars mistaking their directions,
and putting off the job till one o’clock,
when it was to havo boon done at ten
o'clock. This failure to do the work at
the specified time failed because the con
spirators (the memorialists) had all gonn
home, and Mr. Aloxaader was in bed and
sound aslesp before the burglars came
with the books. They failed to arouse
him. and Major Bichards, tho superin
tendent of polioo, who was not in the
secret of the conspirators, became sus
picious, and nrrosted tho burglar, and
had him locked up. The rostof tho story
ia faiuiliur-to tbe readers of tho Oatette,
how the plot was unearthed and the
matter investigated by the joint commit
tee of Congress, nnd Harrington, Whit
ley, Nettloship, Williams and Cuntz in
dicted by the Grand Jury of the District.
The tremendous exertions which were
brought to bear by tho administration
saved all the parties from convictioo, but
only one of them, Williams, was acquit
ted. The jury disagreed ns to tho rest.
Mr. A G. Kiddle, who had been appointed
a special attorney general to try tho case,
immediately after the trial wasovor, was
approached by Whitley .and told that if ho
would secure immunity for him he would
supply all the evidc-nco to convict the
real conspirators. This proposition Mr.
Kiddle at once submitted to the Attorney
General. George U. Williams, who said
he would consider it and let him know
the results of his deliberations. There
was some question as to tbo legality of
tbe drawing of the Grand Jury which
had found tho indictments against the
conspirators, nnd it happened that n test
cose tad been made to determine wheth
er the Grand Jury was a legal one or not.
Thu question had been argued before tho
Supreme .Coart of the District, and jast
about the tirno the trial of tho safe
burglary conspirators -a, concluded, tho
Supreme Court decided that tho Grand
Jury was not a legal one. This decision,
1 believe, was rendered tho very day Sir.
Kiddle submitted Whitley’s proposition
to the Attorney General. Tho next day
the matter cam# up in tho Criminal
Court, and, and Judge presiding, McAr
thur, called up the so-called safe burglary
rase. Mr. Biddle was sent for and came
into court. The Judge asked him which
was his pleasure in tho matter. Mr.
Kiddle arose and said that he had just
l>een notified that his services were no
longer needed by tho Government, and
he handed up his letter of dismissal, the
ink on which was hardly dry. Tbe court
forthwith dismissed all the parties who
had been held to bail, and released them
on theiro vn recognizances on the ground
that the Grand Jury was an illegal body,
and hence the indicted partied could not
be held.
This ended that part of the oase, but
Mr. Biddle was not disposed to rest un
der this tort of treatment, and ho went
to the Attorney General to know why he
had been thus summarily dismiisod. The
Attorney General told him that he was
but obeying tho orders of one whom he
was bound to respect, at the same time
indicating by a motion of his hand the
Whit# House. Not long after this Mr.
Hill, an assistant attorney general, who
had assisted Mr. Kiddle in the prosecu
tion of the cases, and who had acted
fearlessly and honestly in the matter,
was asked to resign, which, of course, he
did. Here tho matter rested till a few
Weeks since, when the Ho »se of Bepre-
sentativos directed the Jadiciary Com
mittee to investigate it. Colonel Whit
ley was supposed to be out of tho coun
try, and it was thought he had left to be
out ot the way when an investigating
committee of "the Democratic House
should call for him. Nettleship, who had
been his chief assistant, however, turned
up and expressed his i illingness to tell
the whole thing. This fact was pub
lished in the newspapers, and not long
afterwards Col. Whitley came to Wash
ington also. He at once put himself in
communication with the chairman of the
Judiciary Committee and proposed to
•ell the whole truth, provided immunity
could be secured for him in advance. He
agreed that if a conditional pardon was
obtained for him he would tell his story,
and if the committee wns not satisfied of
it, truth the pardon might be withheld.
Tbe proposition w*3 accepted, and af
ter some considerable delay a pardon was
obtained from the Attorney General by
Proctor Knott. To-day Colonel Whitley
was examined by the Judiciary Commit
tee. and told his whole story. He said he
was in Florida at the time the conspiracy
was concocted, and ho was written to by
General Babcock and requested to come
to Washington immediately, as there was
an effort being made to secure his re
moral from the position of chief of the
secret force of the Treasury Department
Whitley came on without delay, and
when he reached here of course tho first
person he called upon was Babcock.
After some conversation about the sub
ject of his removal, Babcock told him
that some ot his friends here wanted
little job done. They were good friend
of his (Whitley), and would stand by
him in any and *11 events. Whitley of
ooor-c expressed his willingness to aid
them in any way he could. Babcock then
told him Harrington would see him,
and Whitley went to his house to see
him. The wLole plot was disclosed to
him and he was furnished with a list of
the names of the me moralists, and
was told about their habit- of meet
ing at Alexander’s house, and, in short,
the details of the job a* it had been
studied oat by Harrington and his fel
low- con>-pira.lors was communicated to
Whitley, and be was asked to snpply the
instrument* to carry tbe conspii&cy into
effect. Ho did not really agree to it. hat
he was again brought into contatt with
Harrington through Babcock, and an
arrangement waa mode for him to meet
certain other parties at the ring club
house to take breakfast. This appoint
ment Whitley failed to keep, buthe finally
agreed to furnish them the men to do the
work. He went to New York and sent J.
C. Nettleship here to attend to the de
tails, and also sent a few days afterwards
Mike Hays, who was to be used by Net-
tleship, Nettleship himself having
brought with him a German named Gas-
tave Z.rruth. These men arranged th#
preliminaries, and Nettleship went back
to New York and the burglars were sent
on, Nettleship himself coming back and
remaining here till the evening that the
job was to be done. Before leaving he
wrote the instructions for the burglars,
and in writing 10 o’clock he omitted a
cypher, and this made tho hour read 1
o'clock instead of 10, and the conspira
tor* failed to catch Alexander and hi*
friends, a* they had expected to. Whitley
make* a clear case against Babcock, and
■attain* himself at every point by letters
and telegrams which cannot be gainsaid.
Before the investigation is concluded
it will be Bhown conclusively that the
President himself and the whole ring
crowd here were aware of the conspiracy,
and Shepherd and John O. Evans and
Hallet Kilbourne will be connected with
it directly by the most conclusive proof.
The friends of the ring her# had arranged
with District Attorney Wells to have
Whitley, Somerville and Harrington in
dicted, and then Harrington was to be
allowed to turn State’s evidence and
Whitley and Somerville were to be con
victed, and thus Babcock and the rest
were to escape. Somerville, it will be
remembered, was the New York lawyer
who came on here to have Walter Brown
alia# Wm. Benton released on bail, and
procured from him an affidavit which
implicated Mr. Alexander.
Somervillo it now here with Whitley,
and will tell tho whole truth. He will
connect other parties with the job, and
show how he managed to have Benton
released on straw bail. Banfield, former
ly Solicitor of the Treasury, is also here
as a witness, and will be an important
one. When Whitley discovered the plot
to have him sent to the penitentiary and
the real conspirators be allowed to escape,
he determined to unload. He had been
urged to leave the country, and has evi
dence in black and white to show induce
ments were offered him to get out of the
way. The case i* perfectly clear now,
and this most astounding piece of villany
will be laid bare to the very bottom.

From the New York 8un.)
In tho year 1800,’’ said tho Bey. Dr.
Dowling, last evening, “four small Bap
tist churches were leading a precarious
existence in New York State. Of that in
this city, John Ganot was pastor, and
Elder Leland was presiding over tho
congregation in Cheshire. Tho latter,
honored with tbe titlo of ’hard-shelled,’
deserves a position at the head of tho
priesthood. Just after the election of
Thomas Jefferson to tho Presidency in
1801, tho Elder, impressed with the pro
priety of an expression of loyalty by tho
entire Baptist denomination, issued a
proclamation that all men, ’holy and
good,’ of that faith, should contribute
material for tho manufacture of a ’mam
moth cheese,’ to bo given to tho newly
elected President. The result was a
cheese weighing 1,450 pounas, which the
Elder placed on his wagon, and started
for ’Washington. People flocked from all
the country adjoining the towns through
which the saintly man passed. As he
expressed it, ’I preached all the way to
the Capital and back again.’ Conver
sions were made along the route of the
pastor and his cheese, and a great revival
sprang up in tho Baptist churches
throughout the land.” Mr. Dowling at
tributes tho prosperity of tho church to
tho eccentric Elder and his gigantic
cheese.
Symptoms of Catarrh.
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of
the nasal passages, discharge falling
into the throat, sometimes profuse, wa
tery, acrid, thick and tenacious mucuous,
purulent, muTo-purulent, bloody, putrid,
offensive, etc. In others, a dryness, dry,
watery, weak, or inflamed eyes, ringing
in ears, deafness, hawking and coughing
to clear the throat, ulcerations, scabs
from ulcers, voice altered, nasal twang,
offensive breath, impaired smell and
taste, dizziness, mental depression, tick
ling cough, etc. Ooly a few of the above
symptoms are likely to be present in
any case at one time.
When applied with Dr. Pierce’s Nasal
Douche, and accompanied with Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery as
constitutional treatment, Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh remedy always produces perfect
cures of the worst cases of Catarrh and
Ozrcna of many years’ standing. This
thorough course of medication con
stitutes the only scientific, rational, safe
and successful manner of treating this
odious disease that has ever been offerod
to the afflicted.
