THE late elections have resulted in large
gains for the Democrats, and it is conceded
that they will have majority of the Repre-.
sentativ es in the next Congress. This defeats
Speaker Blaine. The probable candidates on
the Democratic side will be Michael Kerr, Of
Indiana, Samuel s. Marshall. Of Illinois, s.
s. Cox and Thomas Wood, of New York. and
John Young Brown, of Kentucky. ALI of
these gentlemen are well qualified TO, the
position, but We think Hon. NJ. Kerr has the
best chance of winning the position. He is a
gentleman Of extensive requirements, ana by
long service in the House eminently quail.
fed for the place. His election willgive
great satisfaction to his party, and bewell
received by the opposition, as he is homes and
impartial and no maa in the House ispOs-
sesscd Of more tirinness a1d determination.

COL. sAAOS TESTIMONI

Col. Same on Saturday completely upset
the fabric Of Mr.. Blickensderfer's supposi.
tons and calculations by showing. in a
very complete statement which he sub
mitted, that the over-measurements which
the former reported were not correct; that
he had not measured the same surfaces
that he had not included the old work on
avenues, which Congress appropriated
money to pay for, and, moreover, that Mr..
Blickensderfer fell into these errors because
he had not obeyed the instructions of the
committee to notify the Government engi-
neers when he was ready to proceed with
his measurements. There are some curious
circumstances about this business that need
explanation. There has been collision
somewhere, from all appearances. to get
Blickensder(er' statements out without the
anti-date of their connections. If this bust
ness of measuring is to go on. it is time to
put it in the hands of the United States
engineer department. Mr.. Blickensderfer'
efforts, however well intended, settle
nothing. even ifthey should, in any respect,
be uncontradicted.

TIE Girls, REFoRM soHoo.

The institution which Mrs. Spencer and
the ladies associated with her propose to
establish this city, and for which they
have asked the aid of Congress, Is sadly
needed, and should have been founded
long ago. We are glad to know that the
committee having the subject in charge are
entirely favorable to the proposition, and
have agreed to SO report. We have no de-
sire to enter into facts and details, because
a public journal is hardly the place in
which to do 50. but Congress, having
thrown large, ignorant population on our
hands, is to great extent responsible for
the present condition of affairs, and should
provide the proper remedy. We hope the
Girls Reform School will be put fairly
under way as soon as possible.

part of said reserve shall bear interest 30
much for expansion. On the other hano'
1t is made the duty of the Secretary OF tine
Treasury to retire and cancel monthly one
half as many greenbacks as shall have been
issued of the new national bank notes
during the preceding month.
On and after the first Of July, 1875,
United States notes not bearing interest
may be exchanged at the Treasury in
amounts of one hundred dollars or null
tiples thereof for four-and-a-half per cent.
fifteen-thirty gold-bearing bonds. After
July 1, 1877, greenbaeks are made re.
deemable in coin at the Treasury, and also
receivable for duties on imports, and may
be reissued. Twenty-yesr gold bonds may
be issued at not exceeding six per cent. in
terest, If necessary to provide coin for the
above purpose, and exchanged for coin at
not less than par. but the aggregate of this
class Of bonds shall not exceed two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars. .- ..

questions, and to these questions Cluss pre-
pared answers In writing before going on
the stand. That was the first that members
of the committee knew of this game. What
makes the outrage more fragrant is the fact
that many Of these answers required infor-
nation, not only from the engineers office,
but from the auditors office and from the
Treasury Department; yet Mr.. Cluss spread
upon the record statements so incomplete
and false upon their face that even he was
compelled to say that the proper sources of
information were not available" This is
the manner in which evidence" has been
manufactured to Convict" The result
hardly justifies the Fluctuations in which
Mr.. Wilson INDUCED in advance Nor is
it the case of Dir. Cluss alone. The list of
similar outrages is long. and the examples
are fragrant. This sort of thing has been GO
ing on from the inception of the investi-
cation down to the present time. Scores
of witnesses for the prosecution, from Sy-
phax down to Cluss have been Grained"
by Mr.. Wilson for the same purpose. He
has been gorged by the memorialists with
their statements and allegations, and his
room and his society have been the con-
genial resort for every one who had q
SANDER to retail or grief to revenge. He
has never put question with purpose to
elicit anything but unfavorable evidence.
He has never cross-examined witness for
the prosecution with view to test the ac-
curacy of his statements. He has clothed
his questions with false assumptions, pre-
viously inspired by hostile aRinus, and
witnesses have had to be wary of their
answers lest they swore to his facts instead
of their own. He has used the machinery
of the committee to further his personal
ends and the private malice Of others. He
has resisted. in committee and out of il.
everything that proposed to deal fairly with
the District of Columbia, Gen. Babcock
and the District officers. He has been cor
ganized TO convict from the beginning.
He has thought it safe to attempt to gain
personal renown by striking the District of
Columbia, because there was no one here
to strike back. This is the man, and these
have been his purposes. He proposes to
make up judgment for his colleagues and
for Congress. We mean that people shall
know in advance that he has rendered him
self utterly incapable of rendering any
Judgment whatsoever.

TIE CURRENCY MIDDLE

IT is allimportart that something definite
should be determined by Congress upon the
currency question. The labor interests es.
pecially are suffering from the uncertainty
that hangs over the financial future. II
Congress cannot agree upon anything bet
ter than we now have, it should say so
speedily, in order that business affairs may
A.. be tranquiliZed and commerce and industry
go. forward upon their own responsibility,
., free from the fear of confusion and inter.
ruption by legislation.
We have already expressed the opinion
that the bill now before the House will do
nothing to inspire the confidence of the
people in monetary affairs. There are other
propositions now in committee which seem
much better calculated to afford relief than
the Senate bill as amended by the House
committee. OF these, the one introduced
by Hon. Freeman Clarke, of N. Y, has al
ready been alluded to in these columns
with favor. Attention is now invited to
one somewhat similar in its provisions, but
which, perhaps. On account of the imme-
olate relief which it would afford to those
sections which have less than their
quota Of national bank currency, may
become more popular 1t is House
bill No. 800, introduced by Hon.
Samuel Hooper, Of Massachusetts, on
the 9th of April, 1874. ItprOvides for the
Issue of national bank notes to associations
now organized in those States and Terri.
tories having less than their quota under
the national banking act Of 1854, until such
issues shall equal ten dollars per capita Of
their population by the census Of 1870. 1t
repeals the sixth section of the act for the
redemption of the three per cent loan GER
tifcates of July II. 1870. 1t provides that
not more than one half of the reserve of
country banks shall consist of an amount or
balance due from associations for the re-

ant and consistent; the other to BE vain.
arrogant, dishonest and tickle. While the
Cubans have abolished slavery and have
maintained government in all its forms
with as much consistency as the exigencies
of war win allow, the Spaniards have sus-
tanned slavery in its vilest forms, and have
been unable even to define the ever-dang-
ing system Of government under which
they live, or more properly try to live.
We can draw but one inference from this
and it is so thoroughly in accord with the
natural sympathies of tine American heart
that the friends of Free Cuba record itwith
joy. Congress cannot complete the record
too soon. 1t has the power and no doubt
the will to do it; but it should be done
without furt her delay.

Q. The question does not, but perhaps tn

six weeks after these appropriations wer
passed the majsr part of the money wa
drawn, and It went so fast that hardly any
body could recover from the shock Of seeing
what was going on.
Q. Hardly anybody could recoveri A. Could
recover and see, after he came to his senses
what was actually done. After the main par
of the work was done IL was not worth while
for me to trouble about the little balances.
O. This was done, then, clandestinely and
without your knowledgei A. Without my
knowledge; will not say clandestinely.
Q. Well, without your knowledge. Was Il
done so that you did not know anything about

for It.
Q. If It was your duty, as an engineer, to
see TO this, how was 1t possible for these peo-
pie to make these decep.ions-these deceptive
estimates or measurements A. wish to be
understood. Ifyou call them deceptive mea-
surements It Is your word, and not mine.
Q. Why did you say that you had quarrel,
or something approaching quarrel, with Mr..
Willard because you had determined to stick
to the rights OF your oficel Why did you not
stick 20 the rights of your offiicei A. Because
when 60 into 9 new field Of operation, which

myself acquainted with the details, and to let

not for me to interfere without knowing ex.
