New YORK, Oct. 19.-The HeralPs
Harrisburg special says the correct official
majority for Sharswood, the Democratic
candidate for Judge Of the Supreme Court,
is 800.
Tue Heralds special says Barnum's i'm
yestigating committee, after sitting three
days at Falls Village, has again adjourned
to future day, not yet decided upon. The
evidence thus far, while it shows plainly
that money was lavishly spent by both
sides, does not establish directly the charge
of buying votes, made against w. H. Bar-
mum, while on the other hand, it has been
sworn TO by number Of witnesses, that p
I. Barnum's agents openly bought, or assts'
tempted to buy, votes.
The Heralds special says the Congress
sional committee on Southern railroads
have completed their examination in Rich
mond, end leave to-day for Charleston.
The Times special says the report that
the Judiciary Committee had finally agreed
to report in favor of impeachment is I'M
true They have had no meeting on the
subject.
a full investigation of the riot in Balti-
more on Thursday night will show that
the cavalry men merely acted 10 self de-
tense, they were stoned and returned the
assault with shots, which proved fatal.

to return to this country, and will nomi-
nate him for President with another mill

The Worlds Washington special says,
the Treasury Department officials are on
the track of some great frauds in whisky
in New York and elsewhere, and special
agents have been quietly dispatched to
work up the evidence, great secrecy is OBJ
served, but there is reason to believe that
two important frauds have been perfected
since the new regulations came into effect,
and that they will soon receive at
tention from the officials. One of
the two ships from the West 10 New
York, spirits of much higher proof than
are called for in the permits and bills
of lading, and the other for collectors in
collision with the fraudulent shippers to
conceal and ultimately destroy the frauds
given for transportation from one district
to the other. Some of the largest manu-
facturers in both sections of the country
have been quietly watched for few weeks
past, and trap prepared for them, into
which they have already fallen. A dele,
cation of hungry whisky men is here
urging the removal of Commissioner Rol-
Inns, on the ground of corruption. 1t is
simply preposterous for such charges TO be
made against man Of whom, whatever
may be thought of his politics or capacity,
not word can be said on the score of
personal integrity.
One of the important features of the
Treasury investigation by the retrench-
ment committee will be that of looking
into the alleged over issue of fractional
currency. There has been a large excess
of the legitimate issue of currency, or
else thousands of dollars OF counterfeit
stuff are in circulation.
