p The investigation by'a committee Of the
Pennsy lvania Legislature Of the election in
the fourth (Philadelphia) Senatorial district,
has developed the most outrageous frauds
by the friends of Gray, the Grant candidate.
But it appears they have not stopped with
ballot-box stufiing, repeating, and driving
peaceable citizens away from the polls. The
Philadelphia Press of the Goth inst. says ::
yesterday several of the reporters of
the city newspapers were subpenaed by the
friends Of Henry W. Gray on the commit
tee of investigation in the Gray Mcclure
| case, to testify before the commi tee as to
| whether they have been bribed by A. K.
Mcclure or his adherents to show Partially
! tOwal ds Mcclure In the pursuance of their
\ duties as reporters. We speak only
! for ourselves in this matter, for the
committee made a point of calling
on one of our reporters. No
reporter of This journal could, even if so
disposed, show pariality to either of the
contestants. The Press reporters give facts,
not opinions. As apropos, it may be well
to S. ate that a reporter of the Press was
yesterday approached, and an attempt
4 made 10 bride hlm.a IL IS unnecessary 70
say it was unsuccessful. What was desired
was good strong article in the mornings
Press in favor of Gray and the would be bri-
Der was anxious to know how much it would
cost. The opinions held by Mr.. Gray's
friends of newspapers in general are of a
peculiar character, and we trust they will
| be satisfied with their investigation of the
reporters when that farce is enacted. While
they are about it let them call the gentle
man connected with this journal whom a
friend of Mr.. Gray endeavoTed to bride,
Bis testimony will be of interest, if not Of
Importance" .-. -.-
A more fearful state Of corruption has
never Oeen exposed than this investigation
has developed. And yet it is all the work
of Grants especial friends.

there is point gained in favor of organize

the action of any convention. The

WHEN Jackson, Miss, was pillaged in
1853, by Gen. Sherman's army, the old
banner Of Jackson Fire Company No. l, or
gained in 1889, was stolen and taken away
by a Federal soldier. On the Dist inst,
the flag was returned by Suffolk Hose Com
pany No. 8, of Boston, Massachusetts, with
a handsome letter regretting the thoughtless
vandalism of '63, and expressing the hope
that the return of the banner will conduce
to strengthen the fratenal friendship so
universally manifested among firemen.

IT is thought that the awkward position
in which the peculiar management of the
State Department has placed Hon. George
7, harsh, United States Minister to Italy,
will result in his asking to be recalled. a
Washington letter says there are many who
suspect that the publication of his private
unofficial note to the Secretary Of State
(for which Bancroft Davis was responsible)
was a trick to make vacancy which might
be disposed of to some partisan of the Grant
administration.

GREELEY tells what he knows of the
Cincinnati Convention in the following
paragraph:
"The Convention TO be held at Cincin-
natl on the first day of May is to be Re-
publican Convention. Neither the Grant
nor the Democratic party can participate
in its deliberations. The nominees will
be Republican, and it will then be the
province Of the people TO determine
whether or not 10 elect them. No
mans vote, who may choose to give it, will
or can be rejected. The inquiry as to what
may have been his views in the past will
not be made. Although all Republicans
favorable to the movement are invited to
attend, 1t is expected, of course, that the
representatives of the different States will
meet separately, and determine for whom
the vote Of their respective States shall be
given, as is the case in all National Con-
ventions. This will put it out of the power
of those who might contemplate mischief if
I were simply mass meeting"
