The Great Radical suindIe.

A good deal OF interest is beginning
to be felt as to the course which the
members of Congress, accused OF being
bribed by Oskes Ames for the Credit
Mobilier, will pursue at the next session
of Congress. From the way Henry
Wilson, Garfield and others have
lodged these charges, it is inferred that
thev would prefer 10 let the matter
slide; but other members will demand
an investigation. Some, probably, be-
cause they are innocent, and the rest
because they will expect a whitewash-
ing report, like the Investigations Of the
last session in respect to the New York
carriage swindle, the sale OF French arms,
and the Secor claim. That committee
of investigation will be appointed by the
House Of Representatives is almost
certain; and it is hoped that public
opinion will force the selection Of Dem.
ocrats who cannot be corruptly used, as
a part of the committee. McComb does
not seek an investigation by Congress,
preferring to push the matter before the
Courts; but if it is brought up be will
be heard, and rscy developments will
be made, duplicating eminent parties
whose names have not been referred to.
1t may be stated just here that several
distinguished gentlemen are by no
means easy upon this subject, and are
looking forward to their inevitable eI-
posure with fear and trembling. There
are also one or two not yet implicated
Liberals-who will have to face the
music along with the great chiefs Of
the Radical party, whose names have
already been made public in this con-

God we are out safely. We are glad

After resting q moment We 90 to
where the waters are rushing through
a wooden canal built to carry them to
a neighboring stream. Five thousand
gallons of icy water each minute are
rushing through it. Three feet wide
and six inches deep, rushing down an
angle of forty degrees, this forms no
despicable creek by itself. What it
would be if the engine were working up
to its full capacity of seventeen thou
sand gallons per minute we can only
imagine. We do not care TO see it. So
great has been the power Of this huge
pump that all the wells on the farms
near this farm have been drained Of
their contents. The farmers have to
collect water in cisterns for their wants
and the care OF their stock. This is one
of the best watered countries in the
United States. This trouble Of course
will increase as the shafts 60 deeper
and the deeper water veins are tapped.
Irrigation will have to be resorted to, as

intend to vigorously fight to the end OF
the campaign; that there was nothing
in the events which would in any way
dampen the spirits of the men engaged
in the Liberal movement. He said If
Grant was reelected the country would
witness the most corrupt adminlstra-
ton it had ever seen. He denied that
there was freedom of election in the
South, and prophesied time when
they would have to fight fire with
fre force with force, and the country
would witness the deplorable results
seen in Mexico and South America.
He said four years from now they might
be forced to elect Grant for the third
time, and they would not be able 70

would be able to elect himself

The Liquor Cases.

CHICAGO, October 15.-The Grand
Jury has been busy since Monday in
examining witnesses in the liquor cases.
Seventy indictments have already been
found and more are being looked after.
The temperance men have the names OF
a large number OF Sunday violators.
This is new move and one likely to
prove quite as effective as any action of
the police.
Mechanics Lien Applied For.
This morning Edward F. Dane, a
prominent contractor and builder, who
has been engaged in the construction of
Potter Palmer's hotel, on the corner
of State and Monroe Streets, filed Pc
tition for a mechanics lien upon the
hotel grounds, claiming that there is
now due him the sum of $4,000, for
work done. 1t is alleged that Palmer
agreed to pay him from time to time,
within Is per cent Of the full amount Of
the bill, the remainder to apply as pay
ment upon a piece of real estate pur.
chased OF Palmer and valued at $780,
600. But instead, he failed to make a
payment, and has refused to make a
conveyance of the real estate, and took
forcible possession of the hotel and en-
ployed others to complete the work
specified in the contract made with the
petitioner, Dane.
