MISSOURI.
The Question of Election Frauds Before
the Legislature.

ST. LOUIS, February 11.-Mr. Hutch
ins, of st. Louis, offered in the House
to-day the affidavit of General Doris,
in vindicatiOn of his conduct in the
recent Senatorial contest. The paper
stated, in substance, that he was absent
and did not know that he was wanted.
The statement by Messrs. Pope and
Morgan, two members of the House, con-
cerning the approach with intent of
bribery was, in the main, correct; he had
offered to loan them money for the pur-
pose of beating Phelps, who was re-
ported as having ten thousand dollars
to use in securing the election of Will
son and Edens; he had loaned money
for their influence; he did not expect to
be nominated unless there came
a dead lock; in no respect was he
working in the interest of Mr.. Bogy,
or in any way connected with his sue
cess. He was working for himself and
no one else. He had spent about three
hundred and fifty dollars in this work.
He had not loaned or given any men,
Der dollar.
Mr.. Hoadlee, the Republican
member of the Investigating Com
mittee, offered a resolution, asking
that the committees report be recon-
mitted and that General Doris be sum
mOned before the committee, which was
lost by small majority.
A resolution was offered, denouncing
the affidavit Of Doris as unworthy of
confidence, and wrongfully casting re-
Elections upon ex-mem bers of the House,
which was amended to the effect that
the statement, being &c Pdrte testimony,
should not appear as evidence, or go
upon record, which was accepted, and
the resolution was adopted.

cations that the 6overntient intends
treating with the Modocs, with view
to a settlement Of the war without
further bloodshed. Elijah Steele, prem
inent lawyer of YTeka, and one of the
oldest settlers In the country, received a
dispatch to-day from L. NJ. Foulke,
United States Supervisor of Internal
Revenue at San Francisco, asking if his
(Steele's) and Judge Rosborough's
names might be used in the organiza-
ton of a peace commission to visit
Captain Jack and try to effect a settle
titeht of the troubles.
Judge Roseborough replied that his
duties as District Judge would prevent
his accepting the trust, but that Mr..
Steele would be glad TO go. This would
look as if such a commission had been
determined upon, though whether
by the General Government or by
Governor Booth is not known here.
Mr.. Steele has no doubt that he
would be able to see Captain Jack, and
run no risk whatever in seeking an in
terview. He doubts, though, whether
it will be possible to arrange peace, for
the reason that the settlers in the Lost
River country would never consent to
it, and would not keep faith If they did.
Besides, he thinks that Jack, having
won one or two decisive victories, will
require good thrashing before he will
consent to treat at all. If Steele goes
on the errand he will go with two or
three citizens, unarmed, and trust to
Jacks honor to be listened to without
molestation.
There is nothing new from the front
to-day. The troops from San Francisco
are yet two days march from here,
while those from Camp CASTOR have not
yet been heard of.
General Gillem has been here all day,
arranging with Colonel Jones, the
Quartermaster from Vancouver, about
the transportation and purchase Of sup
plies. The General says that the most
astonishing thing he has observed
is the sudden and unprecedented
rise in produce of all kinds
within the past twenty-four hours.
Grain, which went begging a week ago
at one dollar a bushel, is held to-day,
since the quartermaster got here, at
twelve cents a pound. Freighting and
other things have gone up two hundred
per cent, and, fact, there seems to be q
general desire on the part of
our patriotic citizens to make the
harvest as abundant as possible.
FOR THE FRONT.
General GiIlem leaves for the front to-
morrow, together with Lieutenant
Rockwell and the Chronicles war cor
His headquarters will prob
ably be established at Fairchild's camp,
which is much nearer the enemy and
more easy of access from here than the
camp on Lost River.
THE NEXT ASSAULT.
General Gillem says that in a few
days after the arrival of reinfOrrements
be will assault Jacks stronghold, and
hopes to be able to make short work of
it. If the peace commission go out
they will start from headquarters, when,
Of course, viii accompany them.

n.Let it all be done by NJ. Thiefs," the
Empetor said. " He will do 1t much
better than we canj and then when
he has done so mitch we shall
see what we have to do" This
manner of acting on the part of the
Emperor was well known to me, and |
know also that such a mode of prOce-
dure was in perfect accordance with his
crooked ways. The Emperor never
pdssessed anything like that which we
call moral sense. The distinction between
right and wrong, justice and injustice,
was unknown to him. He thought that
to give people money was the only lever
to employ. The drawers of his writing
desk were always full of money, which
he distributed freely to visitors when he
thought by so doing to gain a point.
Having taken the money, the recip-
tents were, however, apt to forget the
gift, and theirdemands for new grattitles
were neither few nor far between. The
Emperor succeeded in making himself
perfectly detested all through Europe
and In completely isolating France.
told him several times what the policy
Of France should be. We stood at the
head of Europe, and we only had to
keep everybody else in antagOnism, so
as to preserve to ourselves the
role of arbitrator. 1t was clear as
possible that this should have been
our policy. But the Emperor never pur-
sued this course. After the Crimean war
he was perfect master of Europe. If he
had done as l prOposed-not to him per-
sonally, but to those who surrounded
him-to remain friends with England,
to show regard to Austria, and in that
way to remain the regulator of Euro
pean affairs, we should have held the
balance of European power in
our hands. But the Emperor did
not take this course. The little
good relations We had with England
were simply purchased by the Treaty of
Commerce, but with the rest of Europe
we were in constant rivalry and conten-
ton, and instead of being the arbitra-
tors, Obeyed by every country in Europe,
we became the object of general dislike;
we became surrounded by secret foes,
and the end was our late disasters"

Fairchilds's men say that the troops
fought like tigers. None of them
flinched, aud il the fog had not covered
everything they would have scaled the
rocky walls like cats. In fact there
seems to have been no faltering, nor
wavering anywhere. All did their duty
splendidly. From all can learn it was
the sharpest fight that ever took place
in California. 1t ended disastrously for
our side, but it was none the less a gal
liant affair, and all concerned in it de-
serve the fullest measure of praise. Col
onel Wheaton had for weeks been pre-
pairing for the fight, and had disposed
his forces, as he thought, in a manner
that could not fail of victo-
Ty when tue moment of attack
came. That he failed is due
more TO circumstances that he nor no
one else could control than to any lack
Of generalship or military sagacity. AS
an evidence Of the fact that a long cam
paign Is anticipated by the military, it
may be stated that huge contracts for
grain, provisions, and other supplies,
have been let within two days. McCon-
nell and McManus, Of Yreka, have one
which will amount to four thousand
dollars; Ball Brothers one that amounts
to even more, and others of greater or
less amount are held in this vicinity.
This looks like a long, expensive cam
paign, and raises an important question
as to whether Captain Jack and bis
band are game worth the powder.

A ASDirituaIistic SwfndIer.

So-called "spiritual phenomena are
undergoing tacit attack in London in
the performance of a certain Herr Do
bier. This person does exactly the
very same things which the Davenport
Brothers did, but without claiming the
assistance Of any supernatural agency.
His audience sits in darkness for two
minutes while he binds himself hand
and foot to chair. The rope is then
examined, and appears quite fact, the
knot being between his hands and
seem;,olv so tight as to render it i'm
nossible 10 withdraw them. The light
!. again extinguished; be is guarded
upon The platform by two well
known members OF the audience,
and very suddenly a tambourine
flies about the room, and a bell is
wrung. Other things Herr Dobler does
which show that with hands and legs
tightly tied he can do more than most
people can accomplish with hands at
liberty. He borrows coat from q
spectator, puts it beside him on table,
the light goes out, is instantly rekindled
and the coat is on his back, his hands
tied as before; in another dark mo-
mept it is off and thrown to the lender.
The lights are extinguished upon his
hands filled with flour, and in two min.
utes they are found united with the
flour still remaining IN them. He ac-
knowledges that this is mere sleight Of
hand.

Rem Butler aud she Temperance
People.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
General Buffers nomination for the
Governorship Of Massachusetts was
before the State Temperance Alliance
last Tuesday. The Alliance, however,
couldn't make up its mind whether the
General was to be trusted to enforce the
LIQUOR law or not, and took fortnight
to consider the matter. One ardent
gentleman supported General Buffers
nomination in rather q questionable
way by saying that he would rather
have q devil in hell who would enforce
the LIQUOR law thsn an angel Of light
who would do no more than Governor
Washburn has" We would suppose
the General would get tired Of being
considered no more than q convenient
fiend incarnate. But some how this is
the reputation which he has acquired,
and to these uses livery vlrtuous folks
seem willing to put him. They forget
that the fiend incarnate may in the end
prove very troublesome and unsatis'
factory monster. fhe should be elect.
ed to enforce the law and then shouldn't
enforce it, the kettle OF fish would be
altogether too pretty for human nature q
daily food. Pious folks who use fiends
incaruste to further pious ends may
find that they have engaged in q some
what impious business

ITALY is afflicted with agitations.
The King threatens to abd;cate, the
Ministry are in commotion, the people
are disappointed that the old Pope did
not die, and now an earthquake has
put in an appearance, shaking things
to pieces at fearful rate. A church
of Tiletto, about thirty-four miles from
Venice, was destroyed last week, and
thirty-eight persons were killed. Four
teen persons were killed in other places,
and a good deal OF damage was done.
In fact, old mother earth seems TO have
grown unusually restive under the rules
of the present Italian government.

"In looking ct the signatures not one

Stephen Hopkins. 1t was not fear that

patriot as any Of them, but he was
afflicted with the palsy.
"But one OF the residences OF the

that is Charles Carol. 1t is said tha,
one was looking over his shoulder when
he wrote his name, and said 10 him,
