WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-SenatorR Ross
has addressed a letter to Cornelius
Wendell, asking whether he actually
used the language attributed to him
by the NeD York Sun, implying that
four Senators were influenced by
money in their votes on impeachment,
and whether he (WendelD had any
reason to suppose that money was Of
fered or paid to him Ross, or to any
other person with the understanding
that his vote could be thus influenced.
Wendell replies that he did not use
the words thus put into his mouth,
and that he has no reason whatever to
believe that any one said money was
paid with the understanding that it
was to be used to influence his vote.
Wendell says, however, in his reply,
that Perry Fuller was offered several
thousand dollars with the expectation
that he could influence Ross vote, but
that Fuller declined to receive it on
the ground that nothing could be ac-
cOmplished with Ross in thatIway.

Mr.. Editor:-Allow me to call the
attention Of your readers to the fact
that the farmers and working men in
Nebraska are making quite extensive
improvements in the State Of Mis-
souri, and Iowa.
Business called me last week to
Phelps Station, opposite BrOwnville,
on the st. Joseph and Council Bluffs
Railroad. They have recently added
forty feet to the length of the Depot
buildingfor the accommodation of the
freight and transfer business which
reaches this point for Brownville.
This is much the largest Depot build
ing on the line of this railroad, and
Phelps City is the largest town on the
road, Hamburg accepted. Now, this
town has sprung into existance within
the past year to meet the demands of
Nebraska farmers, and its prosperity
and material support comes from this
side Of the river. The State of Mis-
souri, assesses, taxes and expends for
her own benefit, the revenue derived
therefrom. Would it not be far wiser
for the farmers of Nebraska to aid in
constructing roads west of the river,
and build up Nebraska towns, and
keep their capital within our own
borders? It appears thus to me. You
can count my influence hereafter in
Of home enterprises.
A FARMER.

This matter.
The strike amongst Telegraph OPP
