The certainty that the Republican majority in
the next House Of Representatives will be re-
duced, and the possibility that the Democrats
may obtain control Of it, lends additional mpor-
lance to the election Of Major Lofapd, in this
State. One member, elected from Delaware,
may be needed to prevent a Democratic MAORI
ty in tile House. 1t is not probable. we are glad

THE PARTY OF CORRUPTION.

The Boston Globe is a Republican
journal, but it appears to entertain a
lively appreciation of the results of Re
publican rule, since it calls this country
the "El Dorado of scoundrelism." The
Chicago Tribune did as much as any
journal in the country to bring the he
publican party into existence, and to
give it the power it is now abusing, but
it must have yepented of its folly. In
its issue Of the 18th INST. that journal
says: q,
1T is Just coming to be understood
what a task this Congress assumed when
it undertook to gauge the corruption of
the present Administration. The ses-
sion I'D 70 this time has been almost en-
tirely consumed IN providing for and
making Investigations, AID IN fixing
the salaries and perquisitcsof members.
Not one Of the great questions which
most deeply concern the country, such
as the arrangement Of the finances, the
revision of the customs Law, the
provision OF relief for the farmers,
has been definitely passed upon.
The time Of members Is,
to a great extent, taken up in the ses-
sions of Investigating committees. OF
these, eleven are already sitting, ana 1t
is now proposed to order a twelfth for
the benefit of the Postofice Depart
ment. Quite a scene took place in the
House yesterday when the matter was
brought forward. The California MEM
bers especially seemed to know of mys-
FERROUS operations in the lettingof mail
contracts, and, from the i~nnuendoes
thrown out, it is a fair suppOsition that
the Central Pacific Company has man
aged TO secure some very astonishing
contracts by the routine process.
The men who have got the control of
the Republican party have made it the
party of corruption, and honest Re-
publicans are powerless to purge it of
these corrUptions.

LAOuAN III AAAA%- AA@
WASHINGTON, April 14.-An i'm.
portant conference on the Maynard
bill was held at the house of Speaker
Blaine ON last evening, which, although
it resulted in nothing to-day, indicates
that leading Republicans are fearful
of a coming break in their ranks on
the financial question. There were
such men present as Butler. Dawes,
G. F. and Z. r. Hoar, Hawley, of Con-
nectieut Phelps, of New Jersey;
Wheeler, of New York; ScOfeld and
Kelley, Of Pennsylvania; Garfield and
Foster, OF Ohio; CobuIn OF Indiana, and
Sheldon, of observation-disclosures 80 and
40 members Ia all. Mr.. Blaine adj
dressed these gentlemenat s~omelength,
and there was a long informal compar-
ison of views, the Speakers OBJ
iect being to prevent the threat
ened break between the East and
tie West on the finances.
The hard money mea declared that on
no account would they W consent to
the issue of another greenback, but
they were quite as anxiOusastheTr Wes-
tern brethren to avoid a split IN the
party. No formal'agreement was made,
but It was finally decided, or under
stood. that the Eastern mel would vote
for the Maynard free banking bill, with
the amendment offered by MIR. Foster,
of Ohio, which provides in effect that
one greenback shall be withdrawn for
every four bank notes issued. When
the Eastern members got to the House
to-day, they found that the Western
members did not intend that this should
apply until the banking currency is IN
creased to 500, 009,G0Q, and they re-
fused to carry out that idea.

THE DURELL CASE.
From the st. Louis Republican.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Durel
report is again delayed. The commit
tee have been advised that more test.
mony can be had for the asking, and il
is not improbable that they may re,
open the case to give another and very
important and willing witness oppor'
tunity to testify. This is understood
to be the -irrepressible Barrett, who, not
satisfied with his demolition of Pinch
back, and having fallen out
with Durell, wants to give the
latter a taste of his peculiar style
of exposure too. 1t must be
confessed that whenever Barrett
has opened his mouth about Louisiana
matters in the past, somebody came to
grief Immediately. The truth of 1t is
Barrett has been inside OF things IN
Louisiana Just far enough to see what
was going on, and 10 get a smell OF the
flesh pots, but not far enough to get a
square meal, or hardly a taste Of the
viands, and he has hitherto managed
to have his evidence in compact, direct
and unimpeachable form. What he can
show in Duren's case remains to be
seen, but from what your correspondent
has learned Of the testimony mhls pos
session the case would seem 10 be IN
complete without 1t.

AN IMMENSE RAILROAD SCHEME

From the Cincinnati Commerelai.
WASHINGTON, April 1+.-Repre-
| sentatiyes from a company who wish to
build a Continental trunk line double
! track freight railway from Chicago and
St. Louis TO New York, appeared and
made an argument before the House
Railways and Canals Committee to-day.
They represent that their line will be
lbs miles shorter than by the Pennsyl-
yania route. and 1871 miles shorter than
hy the New York Central route. The
distance from New York to the Mis-
souri, river, at Omaha, by their pro-
iected route is 1924 miles, to the Mis-
sissippi riFer 925 miles. The maximum
grade on the route Is thirty feet 10 the
mile. It is proposed TO run eighty
trains a day at ten miles an hour,
and they agree to carry gram
fer ak and one-half mills per ton per
mile. At this rats the cost of
Transporting wheat from Chicago TO
New York would be fifteen cents per
bushel, and from St: Louis eighteen
cents. 1t costs at present thirty-tive
and forty cents. They ask a charter
and Endorsement of their bonds IRON
the Government. The interest for
which the Government would thus be
made liable would amount annually 20
something in the neighborhood of 81
600. 200. They claim to have secured
charters from Pennsylvania, Iowa and
New Jersey, and to have organized I'M
der the Indiana and Ohio State laws ;
that they have already expended 81
OO0. 900, and have two hundred miles of
| graded rosd bed in Ohio and Indiana,
having purchased the fitin ana Fort
WAYNE road bed. They own terminal
facilities opposite New York City. The
Job has been referred to a sub-commIt-
tee, and there is a reasonable hope that
it Will be reported upon adversely.

THE Chicago Tribune advises the
Grangers, with whom 1t evidently
sympathises, that they may as well
give over looking to this Congress for
the adoption of any extreme measure
in the direction of cheap transporta-
fion. Mr.. McCrary's bill rests in the
Senate Committee On Railways and
Canals. and there is NJ prospect OF Its
coming forward this session. The Tn
buae adds:
.Nor a anything at all equal tSthe
rme expectations be realized from
+ba renort Of the Window Special Com
,n;ttee ON Transportation. That COM
Ute has made a semi-oficial deliver
ance Of its views. They are, IN sub
stance. that competition is a necessary
element of a healthy systemo OF transpor,,
tation. and that the regulation OF
freioht-tariffs or the building OF Coy
eminent railways is i~nexpedient' Inc

ILLINOIS STATE GRANGE.
DISSEMINATION by Counties.

From the Chicago Times
BIooAnxGToN, ILL.,, April 14-In pursu-
apce of an announcements made at the re-
cent State eraug convention Of delegates,
consisting ofone master of a grange from
each county in the State, met in this city
TODAY. The prime object is 10 discuss and
take action upon some proposed amend
ments to the constitution of the National
grange. and more particularly an amend
ment contemplating the establishment of
county organizations upon the same princi-
ples as the State and National oranges.
The need of such an organization TO take
the place of a connecting link between the
subordinate and State organization has long
been felt, and in many counties, including
Mclean, an organization or council of the
| oranges had been formed for convenience
sake, although not recognized by the con-
~stltution of the order. The last meeting Of
the State Grange, at which there were pres
ent some 700 delegates representing every
Grange in the State, demonstrated the fact
eonclusiyely that, at the rate OF increase at
| that time, it would be soon impossible to
handle a convention organized upon that
| basis of representation, and that some
method must be adopted by which the
number of delegates should be lessened.
The present convention consists of only one
delegate from each county, as it is probable
| all succeeding conventions will be organ
lied. In order that these county delegates
| NAV receive official appointment, the county
| organization seems indispensable.
Sixty-ive delegates met this morning,
representing that number OF counties.
| After the usual preliminary business, the
discussion of the proposed amendments TO
the State Grange constitution was taken up
and nearly the entire day was consumed.
| Some Of the amendments were voted upon.
but the results not yet made public. Most
of:the delegates came instructed from then
counties, regarding county organization
Nothing definite has vet been done; yet.
from conversation with delegates
it would seem certain that provision
will be made for this urgent need
of the body. The body of men assembled
is very fine in personal appearance, eyi-
IDENTITY a number Of the very best men the
Order possesses in the State, and men well
worthy of the confidence and esteem oi
their constituents.
There is no likelihood of the grange suf-
fering political matters to come before 1t
or Of its taking action as a body. They IN
tend living up to the limitations OF the con
stitution strictly, in this regard. The lead
| ers in the Order tell me Master Gordon,S
aversion to any political trickery is noted
and in it he seems to receive the hearty
support of the Order.
Manufacturers have foeked in until they
are nearly as plenty as the delegates. Then
storerooms are crowded with everything
from sewing machines to harrows.

POLITICS IN COUNTY ELECTIONS

"
AT the August election the first OBJ
iect should be to elect competent and
reliable men of our party to fill county
offices. We prefer to e even county
offices filed by men of cur own politics
Some rail against carrying politics into
county elections; but we know OF nc
reason why we should select our candi'
dates for county offices from the ranks
of the Radical party. All know what
Radicalism is.
Again, independence e for sch
only, regardless of the best interests
of the masses. Those who run as IN
dependent candidates for Office general
" do so from purely selfish motives
They may be reliable men, but we pre-
fer those for Office who are willing tc
submit their claims to their fellow-citi
zens that entertain correct political
principles.
