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. N I Til GEIIIIUIA 11. I'.. CONFERENCE. THIIID day. December 17,1875.
