CULUhB1A, 3. C., Dec II, 1877.
The alleged bribery cases against Colonel John J.
Patterson and General H. G. WOrthington IN con-
necton with the recent election OF Colonel Patter-
son to the United States Senate, was heard to-day
before Justice Richmond. The testimony was fully
taken and the proof was overwhelming and concu
sive that no attempt at bribery by Colonel Patter-
son or his friends had been attempted. Some OF
issued against Colonel Patterson and General
Worthington In open Court repudiated their afri-
dayits and swore they had been imposed on In
making the same.
one witness, named Miller, admitted the falsity OF
his anldavit, and that It was made to compel Colo
mel Patterson to pay $1,000. After an elaborate
examination all the cases against Colonel Patter-
son, General WOrthngtOu and the member For
tune Giles, who was also accused were instantly
dismissed, amid the applause or large crowd In

The Senate Committee on Appropriations to-day
considered the recommendation made by the
Secretary OF the Interior and urged by the Wscon-
sin delegation In Congress- to appropriate $4,000
for the removal OF the winnebago Indians Of Wis
consn to the Indian Territory, but the proposition
failed to receive the committees sanction. II s
understood that II will be urged IN the Senate by
Wisconsin Senators as an amendment to the Indian
Appropriation bill. A number OF other proposed
amendments to the bill were rejected by the com.

Distribution Of Currency Through Ma.
tional Banks.
Previous to the distribution OF the 1854 600 OF
the national bank notes provided by law, national
banks, IN a few instances were authorized in
the Eastern and Middle States, and currency
issued, upon the condition that the circu-
latng notes OF the banks which have closed
business should first be returned to the Treasury
Department for destruction. The whole amount Of
national bank currency having now been issued
the Comptroller Of the currency will hereafter de-
cline to organize banks in the States which are In
excess tins giving the States which are deficient
in the distribution of Currency the privilege Of re.
turning the notes OF the banks which have closed
business for the purpose of organizng banks in ac
cordance with the spirit OF the law.
sherman's Coinage BiIl.
The amendment to the Coinage bill, as reported
by Senator Sherman, Chairman OF the Senate
Finance Committee, increases the weight OF the
existing silver coinage about one-haf OF one per
cent, making these pieces equivalent in weight to
one-haf one-fourth and etenth Of tie silver
fve-franc piece Of France ana other European
countries, as recommended in areport Of the Treas
ury Department to Congress in 1870 and more
recently by the New York Board OF Trade. The

Spinner ON Fractional Currency.
Treasurer Spinner has written in response to the
question whether any national ank has right to
refuse on deposit any national currency when
presented in small denominations, say ten dollars
in ten cents, assuming that the inquiry relates to
United States fractional currency and to payments
of private demands as distinguished from debts due

dered his resignation to the President, to
take effect on the 14th OF February next. Senator
Logan and Congressman Farwell have asked the
appointment OF General Macarthur as Eastmans
successor. Notwithstanding the recommendations
in favor of the promotion Of Chief Clerk Squers the
President promised to disregard civil service regu-

is well known that Senator Logan is a bitter oppo-
nent Of civil service reform and believes in reward

rebellion. Hence his support OF General Macarthur.
A Shrewd Election Fraud and Trick.

session of Congress in the interest of jobbers was
one authorizing the commissioner OF Internal Rev.

campaign immediate action was essential to secure

From the Boston Post, March /.
To "steal the livery Of Heaven to serve
etc, is no uncommon thing in these times,
but TO find man protesting to labor in the
cause of morality by means germane to Ii
centiousness, is rare indeed. A case Ill
point has been brought to light in that good
~ suburb of Boston, the town of Maiden,
where resides Mr.. 0. B. Lee. THIS gentle
man, it is alleged, has for some time been
sending broadcast over the land, through
the medium of Uncle Sans mail bags, cir
cular advertisements of book, the price of
which was only eighty-five cents, yet so
multitudinous were its good qualities that
description of them would be impossible in
the limit allowed liz the circular. In rather
clumsy sentences its virtues weIepOrtrayed,
however, in a manner calculated TO excite
the prurent curiosity of all who read the
circular, the style of which was very SINH
lar to that used by the secret vendors of
obscene literature. The address Of the
vendor was "Dennis & Co, Box No. 16l,
Maiden Post Office" This in ginary firm
apparently did a heavy business,
for the sending out Of circulars aud
reception Of answers was almost daily. a
few days ago a Boston gentleman, residing
in Florida, came across one of these circu-
lars and sent it to Maj. Jones, OF the State
Police, with a rather impertinent inquiry
about why such things were allowed i'll
Mas,achus etts. The Major, being thus
warned, FASTENED to inveSuga e. TaAing
along Detective Littlefield, he went to
Maiden to reconnoitre. There he obtained
a circular, and finally a package, which,
when opened, revealed very common edi-
ton of the New Testament, which retails
at about fifteen cents at tue bookstores.
Yesterday afternoon he went to Maiden
again, and waited at the postoffice for
"Dennis & CO. to get their mail. Mrs.
Lee happened TO be tie mail. carrier for the
firm, and she was followed home. The
Mai IT and his attendant entered the house
and held consultation with MIR. Lee, who
had not violated any statute, and was there
fore not liable to arrest. Mr.. Lee told the
Major he didn't think he had done any,
thing illegal; he hardly thought the Tesla
ment, as an article of merchandise, worth
eighty-fve cents, but as a guide to men and
women morally its value was incalculable.
He, however, promised the Major to quit
I the business, and all who had set aside
eighty-five cents to mail to "Dennis & Co."
