THE BELLS INVESTIGATION.

On Tuesday Of last week the report
Of the committee appointed by the last
Legislature to investigate the charges
Of alleged bribery and corruption in
connection with the passage and veto
of the bill for the provement of the
Chippewa River at the Dells, was read
by Senator Magoon, chairman of the
committee. By the report the Legis-
lature Of 1871 is exhonerated from all
suspicion of having been influenced by
any corrupt motives. BY the testimo
ny the pressure brought to bear on the
Governor to veto the bill was trem en-
doua- The loans made to members by
Senator Thorp and Lieut.. Gov. Pound,
of which so much has been said, were
proved to be purely business transac-
ions. Regret is expressed that sever
al important witnesses refused, or neg
lscted to appear before the Committee,
to disclose all their knowledge as oppo-
nents or lobbyists against the bill.
Their testimony, if given, would have
enabled the Committe to decide author
itively, respecting every part of the OPP
position. The Committee was unable
to state the amount of money raised in
Chippewa Falls to defeat the Dells bill,
or how much was offered, or to whom
paid. The facts, if obtained, as was
easnestly desired, would have settled
forever the inquiry whether the oppo-
sition to the passage of the bill in 1871,
was marked by actual bribery or not.
Every man who favored the bill, and
who was summoned by the Committee,
promptly appeared, and willingly testi-
fed.
The minority report, dissents from
both the matter submitted, and the con-
illusions arrived at by the report of the
majority that they had the right, or
power to report conclusions, or anything
but the testimony and proceedings
that the testimony as it now stood was
incomplete, and in many cases contra
dictory. The report closed by recon-
mending that joint select committee
of five, be appointed to continue and
complete the testimony, and report to
the present Legislature.

LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.

The Republican factionists in the
United States Senate, Messrs. Sumner
Trumbull and Schgrz, seem determined
by any means, however foul, to bring
the present administration into bad re-
pute, and place President Grant in a
false position before the country.
Their last desperate effort IL this line,
has been to make it appear that arms
were manufactured for France, in the
workshops of the United States, during
the late war with Prussia, directly i'm
plicating the Government, with breach
of International law, and endeavoriu-
to show that the sympathy of this
country was with France in the strug
gle. Mr.. Sumner brought the matter
before the Senate, in resolution fer
an investigation of the alleged manu-
facture Of arms, and an extended de-
bate took place in the Senate on the
subject. In the discussion, it appeared
that arms were sold France, but the
sales were made through private par
ties. AT the close Of the war our Gov
eminent had arms and ammunition on
hand to the value of millions of dol
lars, which Congress authorized the
Secretary of War to dispose Of The
arms sold from April Ist, 1865, to
June 30th, 1871, amounted to over
81, 100000, every cent of which was
faithfully accounted for, and paid into
the Treasury. As to the alleged sales
of arms to the French Government, it
could not be proved that our Govern
ment ever disposed of dollars worth
to that Government. These facts were
produced by Senator Wilson, of Massa-
ehusetts, himself Chairman of the Com
mittee of Military Affairs in the SEN
ate, and whose testimony cannot be i'm
pugned.
This whole thing, was desperate
move to arouse feeling among the
German Republicans, against the Pres
ident in the coming election, as going
to prove that the sympathy of the pres
ent administration was with France, in
the late war. We think the German
Republicans are composed of more
manly material than to be caught by
such ehaff
