PaelfEe ELaiI Corruption.
Special TO the Cincinnati Commercial.
Some Of the Democratic members Of the
Pacific Nail Investigating Committee have
spent the day in this city. They do not
seem so iubilant at the results Of the in
Vestigation as they did before the discov-
cry Of the fact that Representative John G..
Schumaker received S275, 600 Of the corrup-

Private dispatches received here to-day /
rom New Orleans show that there are now /
10 apprehensions Of violence upon the as
Of the Legislature on the 5th Of

erminatiOn to seat the Democratic mem
