" SHERIFF CAMPBELL had five hundred Re
publican tickets printed at his own expense, with
the name of J. E. MARTIN for Sheriff, in place Of
MAQuILxEN. These he circulated throughout the
County, for the purpose of deceiving Republican
voters; and doubtless man. were thus deceived
probably this was the way the Doniphan vote was
tampered with. This is the man who held Office
four years at the hands Of the Republicans, and
who asked for Office two years longer. This Is
the man who pledged his word of honor that he
was going to vote and work for the Republican
ticket!

The Fish.Catacazy Correspondence.


The Fish Catacazy correspondence
was sent to the Senate on Wednesday.
It is quite voluminous The letter of
Fish to Minister Curtin, dated Novem-
Der 18th last, states that on his arrival
in Washington, Catacazy gave promise
OF being useful and very acceptable
Minister, and made an agreeable i'm
preston. Soon, however, he began to
make himself very officions, interfering
in questions not appropriately con-
nected with his legation, importuning
Senators and Representatives, and re-
sorting to personal interviews and So
Ecltatlons unusual on the part of repre-
sentatives Of other powers to this Gov
ernment, distasteful to legislators thus
indecorously approached, and tending
to embarrass the free course of legisla-
tion on subjects with respect to which
his interference was obtruded. He did
not hesitate to use the newspapers OF
the country to influence public opin-
ion upon questions pending before the
government, and indulged in much Ii
cense in his denunciatiOn of measures
and individuals. In his conversation he
was even more severe, and employed
abusive and vituperative language to-
ward very tnany persons, including sew
eral OF public positions and enjoying
the respect and confidence of the COM
munity. The impropricty OF foreign
ministers thus attempting to influence
and misdirect the public opinion of the
country must be admitted as sufficient
ground for his ceasing to be a proper
agent between the government which
he represents, and that to which he is
accredited.
The correspondence contains proofs
showing the truth of the statements of
the Secretary, and other matters of
public interest

Mushrooms for the President French
lnve ntiOn at the White House,

The system so successfully practised
bv the Parisians for several years past
of propagating the mushroom, and thus
insuring constant and fresh supply of
this delicious esculent, has been intro.
duced in the gardens of the Executive
Mansion in this city by Mr.. T. P. Hoo
yer, under the direction of Gen. Bab-
cock, Superintendent Of Public Build
ings and grounds. MIR. Hoover has
paid great deal of attention to this
subject, and has for the last two years
been experimenting in San Francisco,
where he was very successful in raising
mushroom by means of spawn. There
is no delcacy that combines to the
some extent the best qualities of the
animal and vegetable kingdom, and
none thatis more thoroughly y appreciat-
cd by the bon vivont and epicure. The
bed planted by Mr.. Hoover is in
flourishing condition. The cost of con-
strrction and planting the bed is only
about one hundred dollars, from which
an almost unlimited supply of this de-
sirable vegetable can be obtained and
multiplied indefinitely by spawn at a
trifing expenditure. After the bed is
prepared and the spawn is procured,
there is very little additional expense,
inasmnch as the proper degree of heat
Is derived from the furnace of steam
with which the buildings are warmed.

heat and moisture, and arc easily man.
