Now. it is well known that we have here a "ring." commonly known as the ''whiskey rin :" an.l that this ;'iiiiur was formerly linked in with another ''line;." in Congress, of Colfax. C'ulloni it Crasrin notoriety. A relation of Mr. Lollax is a i.romniei.t member ot the "riii'.j.M correspondent.

I am not prepared pre-pared to state whether President Grant helped to manipulate the Congressional Congres-sional ''ling ' or not. This much, however, how-ever, is certain, he did dismiss Judge Wilson, it is stated, for naturalizing polygamous 31 urinous, and for nut working harmoniously with the "whiskey "whis-key rim:" of Salt Lake City, in their erratic crusades on Mormondom. It is moreover stated that t lie 1'ev. 31 r. Newman, who came here to shear and got shorn, is General Li rant's chaplain, as well as that of the Senate, perhaps a sleeping, if not a silmt partner of the ''ring.'' Now, there is nothim: verv remavk- ildo .,.,,. tl.o o.niiliw.r nt' M.iSvl'S Cragin and Cullom. They were acting in their place in Congress, ami perhaps under the tuition of whipper.vin, and although unpleasantly situated were out of harm's way. J Jut with 31 r.
