A WHISKY IllXG'S HISTORY.
WHAT mi TRIAL OF THE ST. Lot in CO-
PARTNVU HAY PROVE.
A correspondent of the' New York
Sun, writing from fit. Louis, tolls th
following story of tho whisky rinjr :
A knowlertjro of vcrtain mon and
luetHimieccsiiary in onlurlo tiudorstanil
tho "true inwarxlnt'w" of tho groal
whisky riii, which during its four
yours of nndisputd iiwny In St. Louis
robbed tho gnvernmont of moro thon
four millioiiH of dollars.
The rovenuo officers on whose hon
esty and upright conduct tho govern
mont largely depended tor tho faithful
administration of the excise luws were,
with tho exception of tho collectors,
men who bird no sociul standing in this
community, and who were universally
regarded as unscrupulous advonturers.
Tho supervisor, John McDonald, was
in early life a butcher's apprentice in
Now York city. Ho came to this city
in 1849 or '60 and became a steamboat
runner. This was bcfororailroads had
reached the Mississippi valley, ami
travelers and emigrants ramo almost
exclusively by steamboats. The com
petition for the passenger trado at this
point was of course very active, and
rival steamboat companies employed a
class of men who were known as run
ners. They were men of muscle,
courage nnd cheek, and those of them
who were most abundantly supplied
with tho requisites and who possessed
in addition native shrewdness and tact
soon became champion runners. Their
business was to board incoming steam
ers from tbo Ohio and Lower Missis
sippi, and solicit passengers upward or
westward bound for the lines in whose
employ they were. The raiment had
to keep themselves informed as to the
expected arrivals of boats and the
great object was to board them in ad.
vance ot their rivals; but if they wore
not successful in this, then tho plucki
est fellow, who unitod herewith a good
address and "a gift of gab," secured tho
greatest number of passengers for his
employer's boat. Johnny McDonald,
with bis early training among the
butchers' apprentices of New York,
soon distinguish himself in bis now
calling;. Ho associated with himsolf
several of the shrewdest and most act
ive runners and for a time monopolitsd
the business of soliciting passengers.
formerly the tariff of charges for run
ners was (5 per steamboat canvassed,
but after the combination above re
ferred to was effected tho runners as
sessed the steamboat ownors so heavily
that the New Orleans packets entered
into a combination and determined to
employ no runners and not to allow
them to ply their trade on their boats.
This seriously interfered with McDon
ald's business, but finally he and Mor
gan I. Smith, who altorward oocamo
famous as one of tho post office ring at
Washington, succeeded in breaking op
tbo combination of the owners of the
lower river boats, and from this timo
until the beginning of the rebellion
McDonald and Smith flourished as the
champion steamboat runnera.
The early training of McDonald had
not fitted him for tho soc iety of gentle
men, and ten. years on tbo St. Louis
wharf as the associate of steamboat
mates and runners of course did not
improve either his manners or his
morals. He had, bowovcr, an exten
sive acquaintance with steamboat men,
a class who admire pluck and shrewd
ness, but at the same time insist upon
perfectly square dealing. Among those
men McDonald was considered a tricky
fellow. Ho had on moro than one oc
casion been caught accepting the pay
of rival boatmen and of course selling
one of them out. At the beginning of
the war be promptly toook sides with
the Union men, and was useful to
Frank Blair in the dark days oi tho
Union cause in St. Louis. He was the
warm personal friend of Morgan L.
Smith, and aided him materially in re
cruiting the famous Eighth Missouri
infantry, a regiment that earned for
itself the reputation of boing the most
disorderly and incorrigible, but one ol
the best fighting bodies of troops in
Grant's army. McDonald was com
missioned Captain of company A when
the regiment was mustered into ser
vice, but bo was soon aflorward elected
Major, and on the assignment of Smith
to a brigade command aod the resigna
tion of the nontenant colonel, ho as
sumed command of the 'bloody Eighth,'
and led it in tho assault on Fort Don
elson. Soon aftor this the former
lieutenant colonel wss ro-commissionod
and assigned to the Eighth, but Mc
Donald was not disposed to submit
gracefully, and the result was his trial
by conrt martial and conviction for in
subordination and conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman, but the find
ing was not approved by tbo command
ing general, and he participated with
the regiment In the bloody and disas
trous battle of Shilob. Ho was, how
esor, soon afterward compelled to resign
bis commission, but through the favor
and Influence of Gen. Grant he was
placed in charge of the Rental bureaa
which was established at Memphis to
take possession of abandoned and con
fiscated property. Here he seems to
have prospered wonderfully, and it is
said drove very lucrative trade in
connection with the notorious General
Koddyin confederate cotton. McDon
ald had tho uocoHsury lufluetiro with
Gen. Grant to obtain permits to trado
beyond the lines, and I toddy, through
his acquaintance within the Confeder
ate lines, knew where the cotton was
to be found. In addition to this con
traband business McDonald bocuine in
terested In a theatre.
By these and other speculations ho
amassed a fortune, but he soon squan
dered it Id reckless speculations and
riotous living, and wbn Grant was In
augurated in the spring of 1809, Mc
Donald went to Washington in very
roduued circumstances an applicant for
some lucrative office one, as he ex
pressed it, that offered good chances to
some enterprising fellow. His heart,
it seems, was set upoti tho position of
supervisor of Intermit revenue for the
district of Missouri, Kunsus, Arkansas
and tho Indian territory. The then
incumbent, Mr. James Marr, avers in
an affidavit, which was filed with Pres
ident Grant prior to his appointment
of McDonald, that when he (Marr)
was an applicant fur the supervisor-
ship in 18G8, McDonald approached
him bovoral times in Washington and
afterwards in St. Louis and made cor
rupt propositions in regard to the pro
duction of llliuit whiskey. Almost
every prominent Republican who had
any regard fur the character of his
parly in this state protustod nsinsl
tho appointment of McDonald. .Both
of the United States Senators from
Missouri, Drake and Schurs, although
usually opposed to each other, were
united in their opposition to McDonald.
Schurs was very bitter anil persistent.
and his determination to cut louse from
Grant really dates from this contest in
regard to the snporvisondiip. He
knew the character of McDonald oiid
was of courso supremely disgusted
when he ascertained that he was a par
ticular friend of the President, and
was to be appointed simply because
uruni. iikeu bun ami wanted to do
something for a friend who needed a
lift financially. It was to no purpose
that He burs offered to prove that Mc
Donald's character was bud that bo
was notoriously corrupt, Grant was
not only obdurate, but ho became
brusque in his manner, and gave orders
to tho effect that Schurs should not
havo even the poor privilege of send
bis card to his ruffled highness. This
was Intonscly gratifying to Gen. Bab-
cock, who had even before this enjoyed
intimate relations with McDonald, nnd
entertained a decided dislike for tho
"upstart Dutchman," as he termed
Senator Schurx. It happened soon
atlcrward that tho senator went to
tho Whito House one morning to sub
mit some additional facts against Mc
Donald, but when be inquired of the
then knight of tho card basket, Gen.
Dent, whether be could see the Presi
dent, he was curtly informed that be
could not; ho was engaged. Tho dig
nity of the Senator was touched, and
ho insisted on having his curd deliver
ed. It was taken inside,, tmd Bahcock
responded that if he had any business
with tho President he must transact it
through him. The Senator turned on
his beel and left tho White House, and
I believe bo has not darkened its por
tals sinco. .
Aftor McDonald was appointed, so
the story goes, bo adtnittod his utter
ignorance of the revonuc laws and bis
inability intelligently lo discharge the
duties of the office to tho commissioner
of internal revenue, who advised him
to take with him as his chief clerk
Col. John A. Joyce, who was then an
eighteen hundred dollar clerk in the
internal revenuo bureau, and who was
thoroughly acquainted with tho law
and the decisions of tho commissioner,
as well as with tho detail administra
tion of the same by the supervisors.
This version of Joyce's traiisler from
Washington to St. Louis is not the cor
rect ono. It was at tho suggestion of
Gen. Babcock that McDonald asked
Commissioner Douglass to allow him to
take Joyce with bim, and the commis
sioner, loth to part with a clerk he es
teemed sohighly, reluctantly consented.
John A. Joyce was born at Saratoga
Springs in 1842, but taken by his
parents, who wore well-to-do Irish peo
ple, to Wheeling, West Virginia, when
he was only fivo years old. From
Whoeling bo drifted along with his
father, who bad, it is said, deserted his
wifo in Mt. Sterling, Ky. In this
locality Joyce grow to manhood's
estate, and npon tho breaking out of
the war in 1861, he entered the Union
army, and was mustered into servico
as orderly sergeant of Company 1 of
tho twenty-fourth Kentucky Infantry.
He rose from the ranks to be a lieuten
ant colonel on tho staff of Gon. Bur
bridge, and unquestionably boro him
self right gallantly through many
fierce fights. He waa a man of some
acquirements, and was most bountifully
gifted with "gab." There was, how
ever, little breadth or depth of either
mental ability or moral character
to the man, and bis penchant for
making grandiloquent speeches gained
him an enviable reputation as a boro.
At the close of the war ho settled in
Dubuque, Iowa, where ho road law
with a brother of Senator Allison, and
through tho influence of that gentle
man, thon a momber of tho Houso of,
Representatives, Joyce secured a clerk
skip in the rovenuo bureau of the treas
ury department. His relation with Gon.
Babcock appears to havo been cordial
prior to his settling in this city, and
this close and intimate friendship, bo-
gun in Washington, lqst none of its
ardor as Joyce grew rich at the ex
pense of tho government
When Gon. Grant lived in this city,
prior to tho war, ho was an applicant
for the office of county surveyor, an
office that was filled by the county
Commissioners, lie received only ono
out of five votes, tbo one affirmative
voto boing given by Moj A. II. Huston,
who doubtless owes his present lucra
tive offieo of pension agent to this dis
interested act of friendship. One of
the four commissioners who deemed
him unfit for the responsible office of
oounty surveyor was Wm. Taussig, and
it happened that this gontloman was
collector of internal revenue when
Grant became President in 1869, and
tho debt of ten years' standing was
paid, principal and intorest, by the
prompt removal of the unappreciative
Taussig, In the choice of a collector
Grant consulted only his own personal
predilections, and C, W. Ford bcramo
the successor of Tnnssig. Mr, Ford
was not known as a politician, but his
reputation as an upright and capable
business man in this community was
universally acknowledged, There was
no ott (tin on his character until be sur
rundurud the responsible office of su
perintendent cf the principal express
companies and became a revenue of
ficer and an associate of McDonald and
Joyce. His friendship for Grant,whn
friends were few and far between, was
at once bis fortune andlilo ruin.
I now proceed to sketch the rise and
progress, as well as the doolius and
fall, of tba great whiskey ring, As
soon as McDonald and bis obluf olerk,
Joy oo, got fairly Installed Id office and
effected the noceasary changes in the
subordinate offices, tbey began to ap
proach the distillers and rectifiers,
and to suggest feasibility tu Increasing
their revenues by running "crooked"
and paying the revenue officers and
their friends thirty -five cents per gul
Ion, Instead of giving tho government
seventy cents. The whisky munu
fucturers were not unwilling; but they
wanted to be certain that tbe ring
was perfect and without flaw. They
were not prepared to risk their prop
erty as well as jeopardise their per
sonal freodoni on the assurance of pro
tection from two penniless adventur
ers who had neither property nor por-
somtl honor to forfeit. They believed
the colloctor, Mr. Ford, to ho beyond
ine control oi cither Mclioimlcl or
Joyce, and as a test of the truthlulness
of the statements made by 1 1 rose two
worthies that they hud "fixed things"
at ashington, some evidence of Ford'i
acquiescence in the arrangement was
required. In order to satisfy nil par
ties, it was arranged that U. G. Megrue,
of Cincinnati, should be brought here
to act as the general manager of tho
ring. Mogrue was known to have re
lations with Babcock as well as tho
confidence of the President, from the
simple fact that be had served the Suu
Domingo ring as a confidential beirer
of despatches from tho White House
and State department to Babcock,
Fnbens, Casneau and Bier. Tho prop
osition to initial Megrue the collector
and disbuiver of the corruption fraud
was therefore acceptable to the distill
ers and rectifiers, and accordingly
Mogrue, shortly after his return from
San Domingo, came to St. Louis, llo
swears, however, in the McDonnlu
case, that he had nothing to with the
organization of the ring; that ho found
all the details nrrangod, and his duty
was solely to receive and parcel out
tho procoeds among tho different con
spirators. Ho had interviews at vari
ous times with McDonald, Joyco and
Ford, and saw that the money design
ed for these officials was divided
equally among tho three, and at tbe
same time he took euro that the sub-
ordinattt were properly cared for.
The storekeepers and gangers ap
pear to have been satisfied with from
(1 to (2 per barrel of the Illicit manu
factured, while McDonald, Joyce, Ford
and his deputy, Leavenworth, and Wil
limn McKcc, of tho Glvbr, wcro not
satisfied with less than 1 1,000 per week
and about an equal amount was regu
lnrly set apart for Washington. Mo
gruo remained there about fourteen
months, but according to bis statement
tho active operations in illicit covered
oniy anout tweivo months. During
this timo ho says the amount of money
realised approximated f 1,000,000, one
half of which was retained by the
manufacturers, and the other half was
divided in tho proportion abovo stated.
In the fall nrwintorof 1872 all parties
determined to dispenso with Mcgrue's
services, and ho was accordingly told
that as Grant had been re-elected there
was no longer any necessity for
"campaign fund," and thorcfore ' tho
watchword waa to be "reform." He
seems to have boon a littlo incredu
lous, and to have interpreted the pro
fessions ol reformation to mean noth
ing more than a determination to ''gob
ble" his share of tho weekly thelt.
lie accordingly gave them notice that
if this talk about reform proved
measure to get rid of him ho would, like
Bunquo's ghost, refuse to "git" at their
bidding. They smillingly told him,!
they wore nover moro sincere in their
lives, but it was immaterial whether
be cleared out or not, his divvy would
be no longer forthcoming. Tho reform
went no further than Megrue, who
discovered that the combination was
stronger than be imagined. He was
not only foxen out here, but he found
an unexpected coolness pervading tho
official atmosphere at Washington.
The men who were prospering here
at tbe expense of the national treasury
were not alarmod by Mcgrue's threats
of exposure. Tboy wore too well fortl
fled, as they again and sgaiu declared,
to fear anything or anybody. Their
conduct in thia community was that
of mon who were confident of their
ability to defy all assaults from treach
erous foes outside and to laugh to
scorn every effort that honest officials
outside their combinatiun might make
to bring them to justice. They openly
and defiantly flaunted tho evidences
of their ill-gotten wealth in public.
I hero was apparently a disposition on
their part to court criticism to chal
lenge Inquiry. They lived at first-
class hotels and occupied suits of rooms
that cost thera ten times their monthly
salaries. Diamonds worth thousands
of dollars blazed on their shirt bosoms
and their wives were gorgeous in silks
and satins. In one year, 1 am in
formed by a salesman at Jaccard's,
Joyco purchased moro than 18,000
worth of diamonds, and McDonald's
Investments in this lino, flint and lust,
wcro not less than 125,000. Joyce
gave Babcock a solitaire pin that cost
him more than one year's salary, and
his wife is mado conspicuous at White
Houso receptions by flashing gems that
wero bostowed by the same band,
McDonald purchased a span of blooded
horses of Joe Rickoy, tho famous tancy
stock raiser of Calloway county, Mo.,
for the avowed purpose of presenting
them to the President, and tbey can
be seen every day drawing tho l'roel
dents landuulet in Pennsylvania avenue.
Dazzling jewels from tho Orient, by
the band of the late steamboat bully,
came to the Indies of the White House,
and among the many costly wodding
presents piled up in tbe Blue Room on
the occasion of Miss Nellie's niarriago,
that of Mr. and Mrs. Gen. McDonald
was not tho least conspicuous. These
things wore not done in a corner, but
with indocont publicity, and they ex
cited public comment.
Whenever tho President visited St.
Louis, McDonald escorted him to and
from tbe deot, and to all public places.
Everywhere, in nublie and in private,
this lirnorant and anaocomDHshed nar.
venue was tbe recipient of marked at-
tcnlion from tbe President. If he
visited Washington, as bo did last
spring, bearing 3,000 that had boon
oollocted from tho distillers to Secure
the revocation of Hristow s order trans
isrritig all revenue officers, be was cor
diully welcomed t tbe While House,
and ho rode side by side with tbe Pres
ident in Peanoylvania avenue behind
tbe gaily caparisoned four-in-haud.
For several years Grant and his
household have regularly attended tbe
state agricultural lair at St. Louis.
This lull a year ago, when tbe Presi
dent attended tbe fair, ho appeared on
the grand staud arm in arm with Mo
Donald, and tbe statement that bo re
fused to see bis old Iriend at tbe time
of his last visit here a few weeks since
is not true. He did see McDonald,
and the meeting was as cordial as in
the olden timo. 1 niuko the statement
upon the authority of a well-known
and entirely responsible gentleman
who knows wherouf he speaks.
A few years ago Fred Grunt, accom
panied by Kjcrotary Delano, visited
the Pacific const, and by special invi
tation McDonald made ono of tbo party.
A t St. Louis, just before tho excursion
ists departed, McDonald gavo a dinner
In Fred's honor, and presided at the
head of the table, with Fred on his
right and Delano on bis left. A special
car was provided at government
expense, anil tho party spent several
weeks "doing" tho mountains and the
Pacific slope.
The fact that McDonald and Joyce
wero livmi; a riatous life and sponding
annually thousands of dollars in excess
of their legitimate incomo was known
to both Grant and Babcock, as it was
to every intelligent man who occasion
ally visited St. Louis. Grant knew
that McDonald had not any legitimate
income- that would justify him in pre
senting a thousand dollar span of
horses, or in bestowing t2,500 worth
of diamonds, liabcock was familiar
with Joyce's financial situation when
McDonald brought him hero, and he
maintained tho closest intimacy with
him afterward; and who will boliovo
that Bahcock did not know that Joyco
must have received from the whisky
ring the money with which the dia
monds worn by himself and wife wero
purchased.
Almost every distiller, rectifier and
revenue officer who has testified in Mc
Donald's triul bus declared that Joyco
satisfied the distillers thnt Bahcock
s:as one of tho ring, and that they re
ceived rcpeatod assurances through
Ford and McKeo that Giant was in
tbo theft also. Several distillers, recti
fiers and subordinate revenue officers
testified that Joyce bad shown them
letters from Jtabnck, in which he a'
sured that worthy that "everything
was lovely" at the end of the string;
and one witness, Mr. Buvis, of Bevis
li Frazier, swore that Joyce allowed
bim to have one of Kabcock'a letters
for a day or two to exhibit to distillers
who wero not in tho ring. It is noto
rious that Babcock corresponded regu
lurly with Joyce. A dozen gentlemon
havo assured me that they hare seen
letters addressed to Joyce which were
written on tbe official "Executive
Mansion" letter paper. Mack, of tbe
Olobf-Democrat, declared pnblicly on
the street in my bearing a few days
ago that Joyce came to him in the
campaign of 1874, wbon tbo Globe was
opposing Gentry, tho Administration
candidate for Governor, and remon
strated with bim about tbo course of
that paper. Wbon Mack demanded
why bo preinmed so to direct, Joyco
produced a letter from Babcock in
structing him to go to the editor of
the (Holn and tell bim that the admin
istration expected all its friends to
support the peoplo's tickot
W illium R. Jewctt was, prior to 1873,
a man of very limited means, and had
been employed about different distil
leries in various capacities. He was
an old-time friend of Jim Casey, tbs
President's brother-in-law. They wore,
according to Jewell's story, horn and
reared ill the same neighborhood in
Kentucky, and had been playfellows
and schoolmates in their younger days,
and fust frionds ever afterward. In
1873 Jewott was, according to bis ver
sion, tbe superintendent of Chouteau's
distillery; but it is very well known
that he was a partner in tbo "establish
ment and that he acquired his interest
therein because ho was known to be
on confidential terms with the Presi
dent's brother-in-law. Chouteau is a
man of wealth, and has always borno
a good reputation. He is not tbe man
who would have taken any risks
knowingly, and jeopardized bis per
sonal freedom as well as his property
on the mere knowledge that Jewett
was friondly with Casey. Now there
are scores of witnesses here who will
testify that Jewott repeatedly boasted
that ho and Casey wore connected by
relations beyond those of mere friend
ship. More than one membor of the
ring that was formod in 1871, has told
me that Jewett time and again insisted
that be must be taken in, or else ho
would play the devil generally through
Jim Casey. Lebm D. Thorpe, the
storekeeper at Jowett's distillery, from
August, 1874, says that he was fro-
quontly assured by Jewett that Casey
was interested in the establishment
and if the arrest that could bo feared
actually happened, he should be pro
tected. "I havo a friend at court," was
a favorite expression of Jewett. The
conduct of this fellow since he was in
dicted goes to corroborate these state
ments about Casey's connection with
tho ring. Aftornearly all the indicted
distillers, rocti fiers, storekeepers and
gangers had withdrawn their pleas of
not guilty and confessed in open court
thoir manifested transgressions, Jewott
resolutely stood out and stoutly affirm
ed. his porfect peace of mind. Wbon
somo of his friends were asked to ex
plain why Jewctt was determined to
stand his trial they uniformly replied
that the government dare not push
bim to tbe wall and havo Casey's let
ters to him mado public Finally,
bowovor, it was announced that JewVtt
had pleaded guilty to all the Indict
ments against him, but 1 find on in
quiring that this is not true. lie has
withdrawn his plea of not guilty and
entered a plea of guilty In certain esses,
but ho still stands out as defiantly as
ever In all the more serious onos -
Only a few evenings since I herd two
men talking about Jowett's attitude in
the Planter's house, and one of them
said ry positively that Jewett was
safe, and well might be be defiant with
tbe positive proof is bis -xtsstwikw tbat
Jim Casey wss hie partner, Oa mak
ing inquiry I learned that the man
who made this declaration was the dis
tiller employed at Jewell's establish
ment, a
Putlinti these facts together, do
they not clearly establish two things
l'irt That the admitted intimate
relutious which existed between Presi
dent Grant, his brother-in-law, Jim
Casey, and bis private secretary, Gen,
Bahcock, and the t bead devils of
the whisky, ring, McDouald and Joyce,
precludes the beliof that the former
were without knowlodge ot tbe stupen
dous Irauds that were practised npon
the government
Second That it is porposlerous to
expect the public to behove that W. O.
Avery, chief clerk of tbe Internal rove
uuo bureau, and afterward thief clerk
of tho treasury department, was tbe
ouly person in official position at Wash
iiiglon who received a "rake" from
tho two millions of dollars that bad
been divided by tbe officers of tbe gov
ernment during the four years' exis-
toneo of the St. Louis whisky ring.
(iov.KNur.NT Pap. Tbe Washing
ton Gazette publishes a long hill of in
dictment against Mullett, la to Supervis
ing Architect. The charges are tbat
Mullett, Babcock, Shepherd andGrant
form a Whito House ring, and have
mado the thing mutually profitable;
that Mullett gave Shepherd the plumb
ing, gas-filtiug and roofing of public
buildings at rates thirty per cent
higher than better work could have
been done for bad competition boen In
vited; that Mullett had an interest in
tho Vaux patent roof which Shepherd
put on puhlio buildings; tbat through
Mullett tho stone taken from the
Seneca quarry was used in tho con
struction of the new jail, and tbat it
was sold by weight, whereby tho gov
ernment finds itnclf with a quantity of
refuse stone eqtiul to the quantity used
in the building, on its bands, and that
tho profits of tho job were shared by
Mullett, Henry D. Cooke and others.
Finally, that Mullett enriched himself
by all sorts of jobbery and corruption.
Tho Gazette demands an investigation,
and asserts that it bos the proofs to
substantiate all ils charges.
The winters in Russia are becoming
colder every year, and the summers
hotter, more and less fruitful, owing,
as it is clearly proved by Pallingston,
to tho destruction of the woodlands,
which formorly abounded in the south
ern districts. The clearing of theso
lands have caused such an enormous
evaporation that many unco capacious
water courses have become mere
swamps or are completely dry.
