HERE'S another big piece OF ras.
cality and thievery just uuearthed in
Congress, by the investigation into
the Pacific mail contracts and the
manner in which such contracts were
procured. 4 Washington dispatch
dated last Saturday says: The Pacific
Mail investigation promises some racy
Developments. G. X Garrison is
here. and ,nettled at not getting his
Brazilian mail subside, proposes to
tell all be knows lie has n list OF
Congressman who received money
from the agent of the Pacific Mail
Company, and will bring some fifty
witnesses from New York, together
with the books and documents 10
make the chain of evidence complete.
Several members who were approach
ed on the subject will come forward
and give their evidence. The House
Ways and Means Committee, which
is to investigate the matter, held a
secret session to-day, aud will CON-
mcnce the examination Of witnesses
next week. Over 100000 arc said
to have been spent in and around
Congress, some members receiving

One of the boss MormoDs cannot
be said to be the happiest man in the
world, although his cup of JOY is
not yet emptied. He has lost one
wife by elopement every four weeks
for the past four months. As may
be expected, he is getting sad and
lonely, and if this sort Of thing
continues for 13 or IA years, he will
be single man again.

LATEST FROM THE LAVA BED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. PA special from
1reka to-day states that Whittle and wife last
night returned from their second visit to the
Modoc camp, bringing "Afodoc Dave" The
band, f0rty-three in number, met them one
mile from thedava bed, heavily armed. All
had needle-guns. They say they do not want
to fight. They said to Whittle, 'We have not
got mad yet Your house Is standng so is
Doris. Van Bremers, Fairchilds and Smalls,
because we are not mad" Captain Jack Is
willing to talk with Steele, Faircnild or Judge
Roseborough. "Modoc Dave" went back this
morning with n message that Fairchild and
others would go over tomorrow and arrange
for a meating.
The Commissioner gave orders that no re-
porters accompany the messengers Tomorrow
When the squaws first returned from the lava
bed the klamath squaw said all the Modocs
received her kindly. and Were glad she had
come. They wanted no more war. Captain
Jack and Sconchis were the principal speak
ers. The Indians sent no propositions, accord
ing to report, but the woman says Captain
Jack will insist on having his place on Lost
River as one OF tho concessions the whites
must make in the event of peace being con-
rludcd.

committee on the Pollard case has
been prepared by General Boiler.
The committee will recommend that
the Peters case be referred to the
next House for consideration.
A terriable double murder and sui
eide was committed near Wauseca.
in Northern Minnesota, Oh Monday
last. A man named Ruff, who had
supplanted one Buser in the affec-
tions Of his wife and had been living
with her for scme time, was, with
the woman, indicted recently for
adultery. On Monday it appears
the two decided upon a bloody escape
from the law AID Ruff cut the throat
of the woman and hung the child,
then killed himself. All three were
found dead, bathed in blood.

THE BULLETIN RANTS.

1t seems that we last week put a
very lively cockle-bur under the
BuIetias crupper-one which caused
it to break over the restraint of its
sham dignity and eclipse even the
backing propeusities of Mark Twain s
historic caynse.
In answer to our accusation or its
collusion with wheat speculations and
its championship of the transporta.
tion monopoly, by whose machina.
tions the farmers were last year
fiecced to the extent of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, that paper
turns upon us and calls names with a
fiuency which would bring the blush o.
shame to the cheek of chief of the
Biliingsgate fish-market. Other jour
nails of the pretended decency of the
-Butiefin usually resort to sophistry
when barren of argument. Hence
we were not prepared for this exhi.
bition of depravity on the part oi
that journal. Hereafter we will know
what to expect from that source.
Mr.. Low, in another place in this
paper, makes his own reply to the
Bulletin on the cental-bushel dis
crepeney. With that we have moth
ing to do; but when the Bulletin
asserts that it is the friend of the
farmer, or claims for itself any other
virtue which we do not believe
it possesses. we reserve the right to
express our doubts npon the subject.
If that paper is truly friend of the
producer, why is it that it finds it al
ways necessary 10 assail every far
mer who publicly expresses his disap-
proyal of the plundering schemes of
spectators and the extortions of
transportation companies? Why is
it that it fills its columns day after
day with distorted figures and gar
bied statistics in the attempt TO dis
prove the farmers candid statements
and to blind the public to the true state
of affairs? Why is it that in answer
to the charge that the o. 6 G. rail
roads freight rates are extortionate,
it parades the lowest standard OF
rates charged by that road beside the
very highest rates OF Eastern roads,
as refutation?
Again: If the Bulletin is not the
organ of the railroad monopoly why
must il always assume the task OF
defending that institution whenever a
breath is whispered against it, and
why must it constitute itself the es-
pecial champion of the railroad com
pany, no matter from what quarter it
may be assailed? The fact is, the
Bulletins blind devotion to its mas
ters' service happily prevents it from
beholding the miserable figure which
it presents to the impartial spectator.
That paper is welcome to a mo-
nopoly of the field of Billingsgate-in
which it seems to revel as does the
hungry ass in clover patch-and we
will leave the question of its friend
ship TO the farmers, with those who
have the best reason to know-the
feeced and plundered farmers them
selves.

wheat (white westerly is quoted at
S2.35 per bushcl. Now Mr.. Ring has
just testified that it goes by the cen
tai in Liverpool, and puts the price at
13 shillings. Mr.. New York, | want
you to study this problem over and
give your opinion. Well, now Plow, I
must ask you few questions. What
do You say an English shilling is?---
Twenty-Five cents and two mills
Plow, you are certainly Mistaken
Don't you know that pound marked
g. is n sovereign in Great Britain and
IS s4.s4 in the United States, and
goes for that amount in our land Off
ces? Yes, Mr.. New York, I know
that to be true because / paid hand
full of them to the U. S. Land Office
Receiver, John Dement,, on Rock
River, Illinois, in 1s49. The Receiv-
er took them for Sis4. Well, now
Plow, that is more than % cents and
2 mills per shilling-it is 81 cents per
shilling. So you see my wheat at
s2.35 per bushel would be s3.e1 and
fraction over per GENITAL. English
bushel, G2 ibs., at 1a shilings ga
cents per shilling) would bo SO.
and fraction over, or $500 per cen.
tai. Now Pow, from this l will show
you my calculation:
Storage In New York........... cents nsr csn,aI
Freight 10 Liverpool ri 800
Insurance. il we take the
valuation In Liverpool,
would bn Is cents per con.
tai, bat In X. \. II is..........Il

poot t....'...............'............ o.Db
y. y. speeuihtor's gain 10 cents per ceutnl
On bushel his gain would be q
cents. So You see, Plow, that in
shipping wheat from New York to
Liverpool we only make 46 cents pc,
GENITAL, or u cents per bushcl. AL
lowing it is 13 shillings per bushcl oi
G2 lbs and u cents per shilling, you
will see that you are swindled much
more than even you thought. Nc
wonder your clothes are all in tat.
tiers and yon are not able to replace
with n new pair those old boots
through which your toes are pecping
No wonder your children are hal
clad and you are not able to educate
them, and pay your taxes, aud repair
your rotten fences and your almost
ruined buildings.
Now, Mr.. BaHetin, take your own
figures on the Liverpool market and
we see that New York cannot ship to
Liverpool at all. They would lose
about sl.04 on every GO lbs OF wheat
which they delivered in Liverpool
In the face of the fact that New
York is continually shipping 10 Tho
Liverpool market your figures are q
refutation ot themselves. Put this it
your cranium and digest it and yor
will hear from me again. i. Low.
