Col. Twins refusal to name his sub
agents or recipients Of his money Will leave
a good many men under suspicion, some in
nocent ones doubtless, as well as the guilty.
Gen. Banks and Mr. Farnsworih Of Illinois,
for instance, cannot escape this category,
since. at the earliest stage OF the subsidy
they voted against it, and aiterward not
only voted for it, but spoke earnestly in it,
favor Two members OF the committee Of
ways and means are also among the sus-
pccted The scandal of Washington names
Mr.. Sheldon, OF Louisiana. - one of these,
hut is at fault Tor the other. Perhaps
Col. Irwin has not reflected. also. that his
silence compromises two personal friends
residents of his own State OF California. who
were ia 4 position to give mach aid 10 tie
subsidy and did render 1t efficient service. We
mean OF course. Senator Cole, then repre-
sentative and now Senator Sargent, one Of
whom was on the committee OF apprJpria-
tiOns in the Senate and the other OF the same
committee in the House. Both are men
who have borne high character for lsgisla-
tive integrity, most probably they are
guiltless of any sin in this business but il
is the inevitable misfortune OF their relations
to the question, and to the company
agent. that his silence brings them into
the list of the suspected. There is no moral
doubt in the Washington mind that at
least twc officers of Congress. Mr. King,
then postmaster. and now member elect
of the next Congress from Mime
sofa. and Mr.. Painter OF Phi,aceiphia, clerk
of the post-Otiice committee, were shafcrs il
the distribution of this largess. Mr.. King,
indeed, has recently confessed that he had
some OF the money, though we believe he
testified before the committee, last year,
that he did not. Both he and Mr.. Painter
bear the unfortunate reputation of having
often acted as the gO-bet~eens of the out
size corruptOrs and the inside corrupted. /
II his confession holds. or direct testimony

would probably keep him, if they could, /

L-.;;tees OF the next House will be Demo-
cratic, ~ ,sas no chance for the further
holding Of his pfe-.-~s othce.
Much Of the testimony OF y~o,orel Irwin,
As that of the present officers ofthe tlai,

How Charlie Ross was Abducted.

lhE StthNH fOk IHE STOLEN BOY.
During the 2Sth and 29th and Both Of
June last, two men loitered around the
residence Of Mr.. Christian X Ross, a retired
merchant in Washington lane, German
town, Penn. Mr.. Ross residence is in the
most aristocratic suburb of Philadelphia.
and it was usual for his two little sons
Charlie EBrewster, aged four years, and
Walter, aged six-to play on the sidewalk
in front Of Mr.. Ross mansion. The two
men mentioned on the days indicated con-
tinually endeayOred to gain the confidence
of the little children by offering them cakes
and candy. On the afternoon of the LIST of
July last, at O'Clock, the two men came
up to the children and asked them if they
would like TO have ride in a nice wagon.
The children gladly consented, and went
with the men to the next street corner
where four-wheeled covered wagon. paint-
ed dark red, was standing. A little girl
who lived in the neighborhood, and who
was playmate of the children, saw them
placed In the wagon by the men, end driven
of. The children did not return that night
but on the following morning, Walter was
brought home, having been abandoned by
the kidnappers about five miles from home.
where he was left upon the street. On the
following day it became apparent that Char
lie Ross had been kidnapped, for letter
written by the thieves was received by Mr..
Ros demanding ransom Of 500 900 for

the stolen child, and numerous similar
missiyes have been received by various mem
bers of the Ross family, until about month
ago. In many of these epistles the bastard
ly threat was made that if the money was
not at once paid, Charlie would be killed.
The loss of the child, the most dearly below
cd of the family, almost drove the parents
mad, and AIR. Ross for over two months has
been under the constant care of physicians
noted for their treatment of nervous diseases
of the mind. The police of Philadelphia,
under Chief Jones and Capt. Helms of the
Detective Squad in that city, issued an offer
of reward of $50, 900 for the recovery of the
child. The little girl who saw the children
placed in the wagon by the thieves, and
some other persons who saw the men speak
ing to the children on the previous day,
were, together with little Walter, interro-
gated by Chief Jones and Capt. Helms, and
a full description of Charlie Ross and of his
abduetors was obtained.
