AM. FOR THE MTI.
The Investigation of the whiskey
frauds at St, Louis now promises to
dlscloso an infamous party black
mail device to help thoßadkfftlsto
carry elections. On tho lSth Inst, the
Chicago papers published a dispatch
from St. Louis, stating that McDon
ald, In an Interview held in the
prison, had said that the whole
scheme of the whiskey ring “had its
Inception In orders from headquar
ters to raise funds for campaign pur
poses. He considered It in tho nature
of an order and endeavored to carry
it out. The money was raised and
regularly applied. After the ma
chinery had been prepared and set in
motion, the ease with which it man
ufactured wealth to subservo political
ends Induced the engineers to upply
its workings to their own aggrundize
mont, and tho application was quite
generally made; thus it was that
they all got into It.” On the 16th
inst. a reporter of the New York Her
ald interviewed Murdock as to the
truth of these and other statements
attributed to McDonald and him. In
reply to tho reporters’s question
whether he had statod that he discov
ered and reported frauds In 1873, but
no notice was taken of them, Mur
dock said that he would tell the re
porter nothing about that; that he
had written to Gen. Henderson, but
would not say what he had written
only that it was “intended to assist
him” in tho prosecution. Two or
three other questions put to draw
him out fuiled. Ho replied: “Gen.
Henderson and the District Attorney
are the only ones who know what
statement I made, and I feel sure
General Henderson and Mr. Dyor
would not betray my confidence. I
have nothing to say unless it bo aka
witness.” In answer to the corres
pondent’s question, what action will
be taken if it is shown that the
President is implicated in the
whitskey frauds, Murdock said, “I
suppose ho will be impeuched.” An
swering tho question whether the
money raised on “crooked whiskey”
was used for electioneering purposes,
he said, “I am of the opinion that it
was, although McDonald and Joyce
undoubtedly took the lion’s share. I
worked hard for Grant and used my
own means freely. Ho got a heavy
vote in those counties.” Ho also ex
pressed the opinion that when the
grand jury resumes its investigations
“wo may have somo very startling
news.”
These statements give strength to
theories about (ho whiskey conspira
cy that are too plausible to be re
pressed. The President may have
hud no accurate knowledge of the op
erations of tho ring, and may at the
time have been ignorant of many of
its acts. But the proof appears to be
strong that he and other high officers
at Washington were strangely lenient
towards it, and permitted its exist
ence long after information of its op
erations had been sent them, Were
they thus tolerant because “the ring”
was a powerful electioneering agen
ey for Grant in 1872, and for the Rad
ical party in subsequent elections?
That’s the questions upon which fur
ther investigation may throw light,
unless it is stifled by ardors from or
management at Washington.
The Washington Republican pro
poses that tho National Convention
of its party be held in Philadelphia
on the4th of July next. The object
is to gild it with a little of the Centen
nial glory and patriotism. But the
intelligent people of tko United
States have found out that the course
of the Republican party is not main
taining or perpetuating the principles
of 1776, but undermining and subvert
ing the fabric of government which
tho patriots of that period establish
ed. The Radical party can’t save
itself by hitching on to the Centen
nial like a tail to a kite.
Cotton.— Tho estimate of 4,100,000
bales is generally accepted in New
York as the probable extent of the
cotton crop of this year. This would
be about 260,000 bales in excess of the
crop of last year. But it should be
taken into consideration that the
stocks on hand, as compared with
corresponding dates of last year, are
now uniformly short. They are 39,-
400 short at all tho United States sea
ports, 22,500 short in the interior
towns, 40,000 short in Liverpool, and
37,000 short afloat from tho United
States for Liverpool. With some
what heavier receipts this season,
this shortness of stocks must indi
cate an increased consumption ex
ceeding tho estimated increase of the
crop. It would seetn, therefore, that
the increased receipts ought not to
bringdown prices below the present
low figures.
The proverb that “a woman is at.
the bottom of all mischief,” though
a libel on the sex in its general scope,
is said to hold good In the whiskey
ring frauds. The convict McDonald
is reported as saying “that during
the late Collector Ford’s administra
tion a woman employed in his office
was authorized to act as his deputy;
that considerable controversy spraug
out of this arrangement, and Bab
cock’s enigmatical notes and tele
grams all had reference to this
woman. Too thin.”
Cincinnati had packed 295.971 hogs
up to Saturday, aguiust 295,557 to the
corresponding date of last year. The
latest reports from the packing cities
indicate that a general comparison
now would not show so large a de
crease as was apparent a week or two
ago. [
A dispatch reports that by the fail
ure of the “Indianapolis Supply
Company” one hundred men are
thrown out of employment. The as
sets are estimated at $120,000, and the
liabilities at SBOO,OOO.
The St. Times says President Grant
does not have a word to say about
the deceased Vice President, but
when the lawyers get after his pri
vate secretary, he just rises on his
hind legs and howls.
RK-CANT THE t'OI NTIEs t
We are glad to see that tho grand
jury of Muscogee eounty, in their
general presentments published to
day, sanction the proposition to re
duce the number of counties in Geor
gia by consolidation. By this meas
ure a scheme of retrenchment may
he carried out, in comparison with
which the proposed reduction of tho
pay of county officers and the consol
idation of some county offices would
boa mere trifle. And it would be a
saving not to the counties only, but
to the State also, for tho great num
ber of counties is the only obstacle to
the reduction of the number of Rep
resentatives in the Legislature—eecli
county wanting its own Representa
tive, though it may not east three
hundred votes. It would also help
to equalize representation in the Sen
ate, now gluringiy unequal and dis
proportionate to numbers. If coun
ties must be represented in the Sen
ute in their corporate capacity, it is
nothing but justice and right that the
districts should be made as nearly
equal os possible.
Tho multiplication of counties in
Georgia was effected in more pros
perous times, and under somewhat
different political circumstances. We
have often heard it said of a distin
guished former Representative of
Muscogee county, that he avowed
his policy in the Legislature to be to
make anew county in tho Southern
part of the State for every one made
in the Northern part. At that time
the mania for making new counties
in North Georgia was very prevalent,
and the motive was to secure State
aid for works of improvement in that
section. Our Muscogee Representa
tive feared that a time would come
when a contest, similur to one which
had arisen in Alabama, would arise
in Georgia between the northern and
southern sections of the State, and
like a far-seeing legislator, he wished
to fortify his own section for it. In
Alabama the northern counties, in
which the black population was com
paratively small, had demanded and
obtained tho “white basis” of repre
sentation in the Legislature, and if
North Alabama had had as many
small counties ns North Georgia was
socurlng, that section of the Stute
would have controlled its legislation.
No such state of things exists now,
or can exist, and we refer to it mere
ly to show that time and political
changes have obliterated the causes
of rivulry between the sections of the
Stato which constituted one of the
reasons for the creation of so many
small counties. Our Georgia House
of Representatives ought not to con
tain more than one hundred mem
bers, and our Senatorial districts
ought not to be so constituted that
some contain forty thousand
inhabitants and others not half so
many. But it is impossible either
to reduce tho number of Representa
tives or to make the Senatorial dis
tricts more nearly equal, while we
have one hundred and fifty counties
in the State. Remove this obsiacle
by reducing tho number of counties
to one hundred, and many desirable
State and county reforms, now im
practicable, can easily be accom
plished.
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
At the late meeting of the stock
holders of this road, the report of the
committee of investigation was read.
This committee were appointed sev
eral months ago to ascertain the ex
act financial condition of the road.
Their work embraced an inventory
of the property of the road and its
value and prollt. We copy from the
Atlanta Herald a summary of this
lart of the report of the committee:
In determining tho value of the as
sets tho committee announce that
they were governed by tho prico at
which the property could be conver
ted into money at tho prices current
Januury 30, 1875. Though prices
ranged higher than now. the deduc
tions in assets as stated by tho com
mitteo foot $2,651,929.22. The com
mittee express no opinion upon the
issue in regard to the aid extended
by the Central to the Western Ala.,
formerly tho Montgomery & West
Point., and rile Mobile & Girard roads,
leaving facts for a basis oi judgment
by the stockholders themselves.
The umouut lost in stock ot the
Western Road ta given $119,852.56
M and W. P. (now Western) 18,660.00
Mobile and Girard stock 47,0 3,90
“ “ “ bonds 08,826.12
“ “ “ due 137,660.87
Nothing is said about bonds or en
dorsement for the Western Road, and
we suppose any such indebteduess
was cleared away by purchase of the
Western Ruad in connection with
the Georgia Road. In regard to the
the lease of the Southwestern Road,
the committee state that the income
was not sufficient to pay interest on
bonds and arrauge for their payment
at maturity, and provide dividends
on its stock guaranteed by the Cen
tral. In fact, but forgreat reduction,
the income of 1872-3 would scarcely
have paid operating expenses, and
business of 1874 appears to have been
even less profitable.
The report explains that, the Cen
tral Railroad inherited theSavunnah,
Griffin & North Alabama road’s in
debtedness through the Macon &
Western, and were forced to finish
the road to Carrollton, or lose #150.-
000 guaranteed by the Macon & West
ern. The books of the company show
that the Western (Ala. ). Southwest
ern, and Mobile & Girard roads have
absorbed $1,721,698.26. Add to this
the Savanuoh, Grifflu & North Ala
bama road, and the absorptiou of the
four rouds shows a grand aggregate
of $2,206,616.97, in the short space of
four years. The steamships are re
ported as having depreciated $300,080,
and this amount, together with
other items on the list of de
preciated assets, added to the
grand aggregate given above, foots
up millions of m >ney, which has
melted away like snow before the
rays of the morning sun. About the
only recommendations of the com
mittee are that the expenses of the
Savaunah and Macon agencies and
New York commissions shall be re
duced. They also state than an ef
fort is being made to establish remu
nerative rates of freight and distrib
ute them equally among roads and
steamboat lines running in connec
tion and conlt>etion with the Central,
and declare that if the authority of
the General Association of Southern
Railways and Steamship Companies,
organized to adjust and enforce such
steps, is sustained, one important
step has been taken to reinstate the
prosperity of tho road and its connec
tions.
THE TIMES: TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, m.
The report expluins the organiza
tion of the Savunnah & Vale Royul
Steamship Company to avoid legal
questions under its charter to owu
steamships, yet in another column
gives the value of its Chat’ahoochee
river steamboats us $50,064 14.
This suggests a query as to the dif
ference between a steumshlp and
a steamboat, which tiie committee
omits to oxpluin. The committee re
port what, they conceive to have been
errors in judgment, but no corrup
tion. We suppose the entire report
will be submitted to the stockholders
before the annuul convention, which
convenes next month.
