The Georgia Bribery Case-River
ImprOyemcnts-Eis TO Mt. Eer-
non-San Domingo Treaty Charges
against Caleb Cushing.


THE GEORGIA ALLEGED BRIBERY CASE.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The Georgia
investigation in the Senate was not
continued to-day, but will be resumed
tomorrow. Stories, il seems, were sent
to many papers last night, TO the effect
that the whole thing had broken down.
This il an entirely unwarrantcd aSsump-
ton. as the country will have occasion
to learn before the inquiry is concluded,
RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Governors Austin, of Minnesota, and
Fairchild, of Wisconsin, had hearing
before the committees OF Commerce Of
the House and Senate in behalf Of the
improvement Of the Wisconsin and Fox
rivers, so as to give four feet of water in
the channel between the Mississippi
river and Lake Michigan. Governor
Harvey, OF Kansas, who was TO make
an argument for the same, was un-
expectedly called away. Governor Mer-
rilf. of Iowa, will be here to-day for the
same purpose. Favorable action by
Congress is anticipated.
VISIT TO MOUNT VERNON.
The members of the Ohio Legislature
visited Mount Vernon to-day, and were
handsomely entertained on boats going
and coming. Tonight grand ball IN
honor Of them came off at the Masonic
Temple, which was attended by Secre-
tary Cox, General Sherman and other
prominent officials. The ball room was
elaborately decorated, and the affair
was success is every particular. The
attendance was large.
SAN DOMINGO TREATY.
There l. Il report current that enough
Senators who were opposed tS the San
Domingo treaty when it was under CON
sideration in the Senate, have changed
their minds, to secure its ratification by
a two-thirds vote when it comes up
again, as it is likely to, for decision.
The report can not be confirmed, as a
number of the Senator's opposed to the
treaty affirm that they do not know of
any changes.
CHARGES AGAINST CALEB CUSHING.
General George C. Gather, who
recently resigned his position as
Secretary and Disbursing Agent of the
Mexican Claims Commission publishes
a card, to-day, giving his reasons for
resigning. He says Caleb Gushing has
managed to get the entire management
Of the concern, and to draw money
.fraudenty from the Treasury for his
personal benefit. Gather protested
against it.

A Mathematical Prodigy.

AT or near Warrensburg, johnson
county, in this State, residesa poor widow
woman, who has son, Reuben Field,
mere boy, untutored, and seemingly almost
incapable of literary culture, who yet pos.
sesses most remarkable powers of mental
calculation. As evidence Of this among
many other evidencee that might be cited,
gentleman of st. Louis, who had heard
of his possessing this faculty, sent him the
following figures viz: l45,145,145,l45,
asking him to square this number men
tally, that Is multiply the number by itself,
and send him the result, with the time
taken to perform it, scarcely believing,
however, notwithstanding the extrsordi-
nary accounts related OF him, that he
would be capable of the task. In this,
however, he was mistaken, as were Others
10 whom the proposition had been named.
A letter has been received by the gentle
man named, from highly respectable and
reliable citizen Of Warrensburg who states
that in three minutes time the boy Field
mentally and accurately pronounced the re-
suit. 1867, 1852 1853, 117,O71 ,025, or writ
ten in words, twenty one sextillions sixty
seven quintillions one hundred and thir-
teen uuadrillions one hundred and fifty.
nine trillions one hundred and sixty-three
billions one hundred and seventeen mil
lions seventy one thousand and twenty.
Ave.
Though such exhibitions of mental
powers of calculation as the one exhibited
In the above are not altogether unheard
of, they are nevertheless exceedingly
rare. In this instance 1t will appear all
the more marvellous when It Is stated that
this boy, Reuben Fiell, is almost entirely
uneducated. Indeed, the letter referred
to above says Field maintains it is "of no
use for boys to go to school, as he can't
learn anything, and never could In
fact, except in this matter Of calculation,
in which he is q marvel he is said to be
every ignorant in all other matters lazy,
uncouth, disposed to wander idly fcla
place to place, and worst Of all, perhaps,
lis very fond OF drink" Yet the letter
states, he can repeat the eighty seventh
line in multiplication backwards and for
wards and does many marvellous thingsin
calculating mentally"
Let those who think the solution re-
ouired in the proposition given above
cannot be difficult one, because rendered
by An illiterate and uncultivated boy, call
to mind that this solution, by the usual
forms of multiplication, requires the use
of 191 figures, 144 multiplicalions, 23 adj
ditions, anG 10 combinations of figures,
and that this, by the ordinary processes of
multiplication, is to be performed and re-
tanned in the mind, until the process is
completed. Whel they realize this, or at
tempt the solution itself, they will very
likely come to the conclusion that Reuben
Field is prodigy in mental calculations.
