WHERE TIE MONEY COMES FROM

1t has been charged, that the President
is permitting the use of the secret service
fund Of the government by his especial
representatives here, in order to carry
through the revolution now in course Of
suppression. That they have used I'M
mense sums to bIibe and corrupt Senators
and Representatives can and so;U be proved
as soon as a quorum in the Senate can be
procured and an investigation ordered.
The real corruptionists have. a day OF
reckoning before them-of exposure and
shame if that moral element is in them
that will astonish the honest people who
have temporarily been misled into their
support.
In this connection the following from
the Feliciana Republican, published at st.
Francisville, is pertinent:
ANOTHER TuREAr-It was asserted pub
licly, in our presence, last Sunday, by Cap
tain James Ayers, deputy United States
marshal and an attache of United States
Marshal Packard's office, that contributions
to the amount of $500, 600 had been raised to
maintain George w. Garter Speaker of the
House of Representatives and that money
was the instrument by which the Custom
house clique expected to control the State
Legislature. To repeal all laws of the State
obnoxious to the clique, and to secure the
election of that clique in the next campaign,
money would be freely used; and if the peo-
pie were to reflect the present executive,
that martial law would be declared in the
State and provisional Governor appointed.
These threats are of such an extraordinary
character that we feel it to be our duty to
Law them before the people.

ALL FOR WANT OF A LITTLE INVEsTI.
CATION.

The EveninJ Times tried to get up lit
tie sensation by giving currency to the
gossip about the presentation by Hon.
David Young Of a check signed by Gen
eral Heron, for one thousand dollars,
which was paid
This the Times considers significant"
and so it is. In another part Of the same
Paper We read in tie proceedings Of the
House that. in consequence Of the inability
Of the members to pay for carriages to at
tend Walter Wheylands funeral, it was
proposed to so on foot. But finally a COM
mittee, consisting Of Messrs. Young, Bar
rett and Souer, was appointed to make ar
rangements for sufficient number 0. CAR
riageS
The presentation and payment Of a
check drawn to the order of David Young,
and signed by General Heron, is ''signiti-
cant" that the General had generously ad-
vanced the necessary funds to the chair
man of the committee to carry out the
wishes of the House in the matter Of pro-
viding carriages, etc, for the funeral.
Possibly, if the Times were to look
around little, and make proper inquiries,
it would also find equally satisfactory and
honorable reasons for the appearance of
Messrs Brown and Stanton at the door of
the bank with two immense rolls of bills.
There are two points, however, raised by
the Jenkins Of the Times that we confess
our inability to explain: ''Brown wore a
blue overcoat and cape, Stantons money
was wrapped in yellow paper. All this
was clearly wrong Brown should by all
means have provided himself with a yell
low or gray overcoat, and Stanton should
have wrapped his money in blue paper.
This arrangement would, no doubt, have
satisfied the Times, and deprived a very
ordinary transaction of all Significance. !"

WHY WHEyLAND WAS HATED.

One special cause Of luminosity against
poor Walter Wheyland was his incorrupti-
bic truth and devotion to his friends. He
was known to be poor in this worlds
goods, and relying upon his necessities,
the revolutionists, before and at the outset
Of the present session, persistently en-
deavored to buy him from his allegiance
to his principles and fellow Republicans.
Offers of large sums of money, and prom
ises to confirm him in his seat, accom-
panied by threats (afterward attempted to
be carried out) to eject him, We're brought
to bear to swerve his integrity, all without
avail. For this display of sterling man
hood, Carter and his braves hated him,
and for this they murdered him.

SIGNIFICANT.

We call public attention to the fact that
the Times and the Citizens Gtdrd failed.
yesterday morning, to publish word of
the evidence taken at the coroner's inquest
in the case of the murdered member of
the House. The utter depravity and
desperation OF these revolutionary organs
was herein fully manifested. Knowing
that the official investigation would fasten
the crime upon the emissaries of the Carter
faction, they refused to give their
readers the sworn and impartial testi-
plonv: but filed their columns with I'M
founded rumors, designedly Set afioat to
bring discredit upon the police, and shield
the cuIprits from punishment for their
fearful crime.
While it may be in accordance with the
outlaws code Of honor that these journals
should endeavor to shield their accom-
plices from the consequences of an act
mainly instigated by their incendiary ap-
peals, their course in this case has the eff
feet of showing to the community how sell
fish. reckless and Enthusiastically they ear,
and wholly unfit as guides for public
opinion.

TOO THIN,

The intimation in the Customhouse
organ that Wheyland was shot with Win
chester rifle, in the hands of a policeman
is too thin to be credited by any sane man.
The bullet that killed Wheyland did not
pass out of his body until taken out by the
surgeon who made the autopsy.
A Winchester rifle does no such shooting
as that, bNt with an ordinary load a ball
from it would go through ten men. Be
sides, the bullet speaks for itself.
Fortunately high federal official, one
whose word will not be questioned by any
man in this community, saw for himself,
and hl,oocs who did the bloody deed. He
knows too, the excuse made by the man for
the act. Alas for it, this mischief stops not
with the killing of poor Wheyland, but
another who was but the instrument of
the leaders is ruined tor life, be that life
long or short

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Stocks were scarcely mentioned yester-
day on the street, all attention being con-
centrated on political matters, and peti'
ton having been circulated for signatures
among business men. No broker has orders
to buy, while their memOrandas contain
a great many orders to sell; but these may
not be accomplished on account of wanting
opportunity.
Operations in exchange consist of the Or
binary routine.
Yesterday the cotton market dropped
down to few hundred bales sold, and
without spirit to the demand. The change
in prices has been slight. We have heard
this attributed to the prevailing excitement,
which, having involved all classes Of bust
ness men, finally reached and held the
dealers in cotton. Good ordinary sold at
I9l2 cents, and strict low middling sold at
pol, cents. The sales, however, were so
meagre, that fair opportunity is not Of
fered for estimation of the rates which form
the average.

VACANCIES IN The SENATE.

There are two vacancies In the Senate
which should be filled without further de-
lay. It is well known to Lieutenant Gov
ernor Pinchback that Senators Pierce and
Fish are dead and their seats vacant We
conceive it to be his duty to give the Gov
ernor official notice Of these facts, SO that
elections may held at once. Under the
law applicable to New Orleans, the cleo
tons can be held as soon as next Monday,
the Senators elect can present themselves
on Tuesday, and in this manner secure
quorum. The House is fully organized
and ready for business The Senate alone
is in default. AS soon as quorum Is Sc
cured the Senate can take care Of itself,
even if it becomes necessary to expel q
member or two. And as Jim Ingraham,
O'Hara, COPELAND and some of the Gus
tomhouse clerks have good situations else
where, and are of no great use or force in
the Senate, we suggest that beginning be
made with them. We hope Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback will think of these
matters

TO TIE PEOPLE.

We desire the citizens of New Orleans
to know this fact and consider it WELL
when reading the Times blatant assertions
of its own honesty, integrity and devotion
to justice. Throughout the inquest into
the murder Of Hon. Walter Wheyland a
Times reporter was in attendance, but ,oas
forbidden to publish the Evidence. Lying
rumors, intended to shift the crime to in
nocent shoulders, were crowded into its
columns; but unprejudiced, impartial,
sworn statements We're excluded.

NERVOUS, Or FORGETFUL,

1t is really encouraging to read and hear
our Democratic friends demand the sup
port of the national government, for it
demonstrates that their loyalty, which was
liable to the suspicion Of being rather thin,
has fully returned upon them in these lat
ter days, and is now firmly knitted about
and to the federal authority. With peace
on all sides, business in a condition of
healthy activity, amusements in full tide,
the promenades full of ladies and gentle
men, and no direful portent visible any
where, the Bee is unusually nervous or de-

Funeral Ceremonies.in the House. .

Immediately after the adjournment of the
House of Representatives yesterday after
noon, the body of the deceased Walter X.
Wheyland, late a member of the Legisla-
ture, was brought into the House and de-

addition to the members Of both Houses,
large number of citizens were present to
witness the solemn ceremonies about to be
performed over the remains of one cruelty
assassinated.

Church was read by the Rev. Mr. Hartzell.
The Rev. Mr.. Matlack then offered up a
feryent prayer in behalf of the departed,
