Of money had been put in the banks at times
to the credits of certain members of the Ring.
BY the testimony of bank presidents it is
proved that million was stolen and de-
posted to the accounts of these members.
In one case Sl,S00.000 was placed in one
bank to the credit of one Ring man. 1t has
also been proved that in one day over six
millions were stolen from the city treasury
Tomorrow the grand jury will probably

A Significant Discussion

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser says:
The most vigorous and exciting political
debate of the session was aroused in the
House Monday afternoon over a simple reso-
luton to pay the necessary expenses Of the
New Orleans investigating committee. Two
or three republicans, who objected at the
outset that the investigation was superfuous
and that there was no necessity for the COM
mitee to go to New Orleans, were convinced
AS the discussion went on that they had made
a mistake, and the resolution was adopted BY
practically unanimous vote. The occasion
was significant in its disclosure, far more
distinctly than any Of the preceding events
of the session, of the democratic presidential
platform and of the character of the issues on
which they will seek to place their next cam.
paign. Messrs. Voorhees, and Beck aimed
their entire efforts, and they were very able,
to showing the .failuresl and shortcomings OF
the republican governments of the South and
their arraignment of Governors Bullock,
Scott, Yarmouth and their associates were
scathing and merciess. Mr.. Dawes def nd
ed the Presidents course on the matter OF
investigation ably and on the highest author
ity. MIR. Sheilabarger answered completely
the democratic arguments against the Prin-
ciples of southern reconstruction. Mr..
Stevenson, who as well as Mr.. Beck has
been studying the finances of the southern
States, showed that he had spent his time to
some purpose, and proved that with all their
misrule and taxation the Southern States are
three hundred millions better off o-day than
when the war closed. The entire debate,
from its thoroughly partisan character, was
highly interesting and secured the close at
tention of the members, who moved in solid
masses from one side of the hall to the other,
gathering around the gentleman speaking.
The committee having thus secured the A.
surance that its expenses will be paid, will
leave for New Orleans in day or two, and
expect to be absent about fortnight. Mr..
Marshall withdrew from the committee and
Mr.. Speer of Pennsylvania was substituted,
the democratic members now being Messrs.
Archer Of MARYLAND and Speer.

Senator NYe,s Last.

Scene in a far western State. A village

'houses, cottages, "''taverns," ETC., though

man sick on his bed. A friend, Gov. j. W.
Nye, seeing that his end was close at hand,
showed him many kind attentions and en-
deavored to ease his suffering in every pos
sible way. One day, when it was quite evil
dent that the poor patient could last only .
few hours, the governor said to him: Davis,
it is undoubtedly best that you should know
the truth; you are a very sick man, and will
in all probability live but short time. Are
your affairs in the condition you would like
to have them? Eyes; they're all right.
''Well. would you like me to write to any Of
your folks Eastf" mo. not now--after it is
over" "Would you like me to call in q
minister" The sick man, by great effort Of
will over weak and shattered body, drew
himself up in bed, SO as to be in . sitting pos
ture, and sternly, most soberly, and earnest
ly, said: "Why, governor, what should I
want a minister for? Inever voted the dem
ocratic ticket in my life"

The village of Lakeville, Four Corners,
Mass, was the scene of a good deal of ex-
element on Friday evening. DIR. Charles
w. Leach, a well-known dentist residing at
the Four Corners, Lakeville, member Of
the Baptist church and of the Sons of Tenn
perance, had been drinking very freely for .
week, until on Friday he became perfectly
crazed with alcohol. On that Friday after
noon DR.. Leach told his family to 90 away
into a room by themselves and stay, for
either the Lord or the Devil was coming to
see him. He then took his eldest boy,
bright little fellow about ten years old, into
the front room, where he had a double-bar-
relied shotgun and stock of ammunition.
The doctor then stationed himself by an open
window, where he lay in wait for his victims.
About dusk Thomas Bump, who lived in the
same house, came home from work, and
while entering the gate he received load Of
shot in his breast and neck. John Capeless,
a neighbor, was the next one to approach the
house, and he received double dose, over
forty shots taking effect in his neck and chin.
By this time the neighbors were aroused, and
one of them, William A. Coombs, started to
capture the doctor. Although warned to be
careful, he did not heed the warning, and re-
ceived charge of shot in his forearm and
another above the elbow. Next came Daniel
Swift, who received several shots in his arm.
Messrs. Coombs, Swift, Bump, and Andrew
M. Shockley then made a rush for the doc
tor, who went for them with the butt end of
the gun, but they overpowered him, Bump,
snatching the gun out of his hands and break
ing in to. During all this time the doctors
boy was forced to hand the powder and shot
! to his father, who threatened to kill him II he
did not do it, and once when the little boy
handed him the shot first he started for him
with an oath, but had his attention arrested
elsewhere before he could injure him. After
being captured he was placed in charge Of
four men, who guarded him all night. Sat-
urday morning hewas taken to Middleton
ough, about two miles distant, where Judge
of Probate, M. H. Wood ordered his COM
mitment to the Taunton insane hospital, Drs.
Comstock and Drake signing a certificate
that he was insane through the use of liquor.
The wounded men are doing well, although
Bump is in critical condition, caused, in
great measure, by his excitement. When he
got into the room with the doctor it was al
most impossible to restrain him from killing
the doctor on the spot, and his watchers were
obliged to assure him that the doctor was not
in the house to prevent him from going for
him in the night. The doctor is about forty
years old, and, althougha good dentist, he Is
said to be man Of considerable temper,
mixed with not little cruelty, and hard sto-
ries are told of his treatment of his family.

TUESDAY, January %.
Regular sessions commence at O'Clock
\. NJ, ? ID, and l2 +. NJ.
At the forenoon session, DIR. n. T. True
presented some of the principles upon which
true teaching should be based. c. b. Stetson
gave an account of primary schools in Au-
burn, having particular reference to drawing.
During the afternoon session the reports of
Summer field work of members was continued

Mr.. Dixie of Sagadahoc, gave his expert
ence in his schools, especially with reference
to physiology.
Mr.. Savary presented paper On text
books, deprecating the multiplicity of text
books and pretended aids to teaching. He
is strongly in favor of uniformity, and would
have a commission appointed to compile a
| series of text books, which should be printed
by the publisher willing to do it the most
cheaply.
In the discussion which followed, Mr.. Dixie
said in Bath the committee purchase text
books free, and it has been found that it costs
one dollar per pupil each year for books.
| The annual bill for Bath ranges from 81 200
to $1,000.
| This question was debated to some length
by the members.
| In the evening a public meeting was held
in Representatives Hall, and Hon. ID. X.
Chase Senator from Washington county, pre-
sented his new theory of tidal causes and mo-
tons. lie starts with this objection to the
old theory that it is impossible for the moon
to draw up the water on the earth's surface
in opposition to the gravity of the earth.
Therefore the moon cannot raise tidal
wave at the equatorial regions, but at the
poles the attraction of the moon acts at right
angles to the attraction of the earth. So the
water will move in the diagonal line between
the two forces, according to the laws of re-
sultant motion. Now, this diagonal is just the
line of the earth's circumference, so at the
poles the two forces, moons attraction and
that of the earth, acting in concert, make a
tidal disturbance of wave, and this motion,
so caused, acts upon the contiguous waters
until the whole are moved.
