BENJAMIN A. WILLIS.

Colonel Benjamin A. Wills, the democratic and
liberal republican representative in the next Con-
gress rom the Eleventh district OF this city, was
also interviewed yesterday. This gentleman is
prominent lawyer and never held office before.
He was elected by majority of 226 and ran 150O
ahead OF his ticket His district Is considered the
wealthiest and most respectable In the country.
Colonel Willis was radical republican until 1872,
when becoming disgusted with the administra-
ton, he joined the liberal f0rces and is
secretary OF their State Committee. The
gentleman was questioned by the HERALD
reporter as to his opinions OF the cam
vass and Of the causes OF the republican
overthrow. He believed that the people felt a
disgust for the government, growing out OF the
continued exercise OF war powers which should
have been long since abandoned; retention or
corrupt men In Office after their villanies had
been exposed; absence OF any financial poiicy-a
continued shifting from imitation TO contraction,
which caused want OF influence, paralyzed trade
and brought distress upon the country These.
remarked Mr Wills, are among the many causes
Tor. the p0nucal revolution we have lately wit
messed. Inen tue people opposed the crimes
against Louisiana and other southern States-the
tecting OF the people to carpet.bap rule. The mode
of taxation and collection was oppressive inqusi-
torlal and presupposed every man to be scoun-
drel. We also had the horrors and abuses OF the
second term threatened with teniold repetition in
the administration OF a third term.
Mr.. Willis was questioned as TO his opinions OF
the financial policy of the government. The Syra-
cHee platform reflected the genteman's views
fully on the financial question. He considered
that the tarn should DC simply for purposes OF
revenue. The moment 1t benefits class tt lnlures
the masses. Special legislation is the bane of our
politics, and should be forever prohibited. The
LOBBY could not thrive without prOyeDder. All in

The Iater-Ocean says it seems likely that the op-
position and Independent reformers combined Will
have majority OF one in the Senate. Two OF the
districts from which no returns have been
received are doubtful, and may have elected re-
pubcans, In which case the majority will be re-
publican. Returns from two-tnirds OF the Leglsla-
tive districts show net loss to the republicans OF
eleven In the lower House, but 1t is probable that
they will retain majority IN this branch and also
majority on joint ballot should joint session at
any time become necessary.
Thus far IL appears probable that Ridgeway,
republican, Is elected State Treasurer.

ANOTHER SCANDAL.

Alleged ElOpem emit of n Catholic Priest
of Philadelphia with the Organist OF
His Church and 500, 900 Of the Parish
Funds-Bishop Woods investigation.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6, 1874.
Considerable sensation was created on the
streets here to-day by the announcement that
the Rev. John w. Gudemann, the principal OF
the congregation OF st. Boniface's Catholic
church, at Hancock and Diamond streets,
opposite Norris square, in the vicn.
ity of the district formerly known as Kenslngton,
had absconded, taxing with him large sum OF
money, amounting to nearly $1,000 the funds oil
the church. The sensation was Increased consid-
crably by the further report that a young lady
named wittlg who had for short time past pre-
sided at the organ OF the church, had also disap-
peared in company with the clergyman.
Your correspondent at once sought the neigh
borhood OF Norris square, which Is in the extreme
northeastern section OF the city, and upon arriv.
ing found quite number OF people around and in
front OF the church. The congregation OF this
parish is composed entirely OF Germans, and as
this was the dialect principally used by the major
ity OF the crowd but lew or their remarks could be
interpreted. It appears that the parlshioners
have deposited largely IN
THE SAVING FUND or THE CHURCH,
and having the utmost confidence In Father
Gudemann, he was lntrusted with the entire
funds. With this money, 1t Is alleged, he specu-
lated principally In railroad stocks, and, being
rather unfortunate, lost heavily. Upon some or
his investments made with the funds OF the saving
fund he received ten per cent, but paid over TO the
depostors but the legal rate, pocketing
the balance. The richer parishioncrs irc-
Qucnty indOrsed his notes when called
upon TO DO so. several OF these notes
are said TO be OF recent date and one or TWO came
due yesterday. Ii is asserted that Father Gude-
mann was nrst detected by one or his assistants,
when he made up his mind to leave the city. HIS
disappearance was first discovered on Tuesday
last when 1t is alleged he was seen in one or the
railroad depots with Miss Wittig. about to leave
the city. The party who made this discovery was
not aware OF the dilemma IN which Father Gude-
mann was situated at the time, and, therefore,
did not make known the fact until yesterday.
AN INVESTIGATION BY THE BISHOP.
BISHOP Wood was at once acquainted with the
matter and set out TO make an investigation, the
result OF which cannot be at present stated. Tue

ton will not amount to more than $4,000, ana all
people who hold receipts ior any amount OF money

Reilly further says that Father Gudemann's en-
barrassment Is the result oil the building OF the

Your correspondent to-day continued seeking

feeling here seems to be the same as yesterday.
The democrats are, II anything, more calmly con-
tented than ever, and feel that the smile OF for

on both sides will perhaps best convey the fun stg-
nilcance OF the situation
