Caultields Eronhetic FORESIGHT.

1t was Mr.. Barney Caulfield who despair
ingly remarked when his committee voted to
permit Commissioner Davenport to tell all he
knew, swell, you will see where this thing
will lead to-" Mr.. Caulields fearful appre-
tensions were not without reason, it must
be acknowledged. The Commissioner was
summoned to tell what he knew about Re-
publican misdeeds, and in the course of his
examination he managed to give pretty full
history of the outrageous Democratic frauds
on the ballot-box in New York-frauds
which the committee had 70 ndly hoped we're
forgotten. eff Davenport knows so much
about voting in New York;" Caulfield logi-
cally reasoned, she may know something
about voting in Illinois, and if he does he
will be sure to tell of it unless he is gagged"
Hence the chairman's wild apprehensions.
The corruption in his own district might be
brought to light. That was evidently "where
this thing' was ''leading to-"
Mr.. Caulfeld is very good representative
of his class, the Democratic investigators.
Not one of them but has put his foot in it,
clear up to the hip. Every Investigation has
led to some revelation of Democratic wick
edness or folly-and then the investigation
has been hastily squelched. Mr.. Caulfeld's
prophetic foresight is due more to his memo
ry than his penetration. Like most true
prophecies it was made after the event. Cly-
mer attempted to investigate, and pursued
the only course which could shield the crimi-
nal from punishment by cheating the Senate
out of its jurisdiction. His inquiry too
brought to light the iniquities of PEN
dleton. Springer tried his hand, and
succeeded in reviving the memory of the
most shameful chapter in the history of the
Democracy. His inquiries recalled the fact
that tie Indiana secess;onists, while the In
diana union men were fighting in the armies
of the Republic, obtained control of that
State, blocked legislation, refused TO make
appropriations for military purposes, and
compelled Governor Morton to seek aid at
Washington to defend Indiana from rebel in.
vaders. Blackburn tried his hand, and sue
ceeded in drawing down upon the House the
most singing rebuke it ever received. 9th
er investigators have tried their hands. They
have listened eagerly to the wild stories of
lunatics and the malicious falsehoods of in
formers, and they have chiefly succeeded in
making themselves a laughing-stock for the
country, and in smirching some Democratic
regulations heretofore held good. They have
all neglected public interests and gone hunt
ing for scandal in order to ipjure the Repub-
lican party-and they have only succeeded in
injuring their own. That is where "this
thing has led to-" and Mr.. Barney Caulfeld
apparently sees and fears what it ociu lead to
to the utter reputation, by the people, Of
him and his fellows.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-05-16
lunatics and liars is insecure foundation for
charges of dishonest practices.

IT appears probable that the Morrill, cur
rency bill as amended by the finance commit
tee will be reported to the Senate this week.
The bill provides that to enable the Secretary
of the Treasury to prepare for the redemption
of legaltender notes, in accordance with the
existing law, he is authorized to sell at not less
than par in legal-tender notes Government
bonds bearing interest at the rate of four per
cent per annum and payable at the end of
forty years. The amount of such sales is not
to exceed $24,0Oo,000 during any single fiscal
year. The proceeds of these bonds are to be
used in obtaining lega-tender notes, which
are to be Cancelled and destroyed by the See-
retary of the Treasury. The second section
provides that all contracts entered into after
the LIST day of January, 1878, shall be payable
in gold unless otherwise provided at the time
OF the contract. The third section requires
all National banks to hold in coin as part of
their lawful money reserve, on aud after the
1st of January, 1877, one-fourth; after the 1st
of January. 1878, onehalf; after the 1st of
October, 1873, three-fourths. 1t is thought
that the bill can command majority vote in
the Senate.

The poet Swinburne was expelled from the
art club in London on account of his intemper-
ate habits. The members have bore long with
his infirmity, but one night, unable to find his
hat, the frenzied poet seized the hats of all the
members, hurled them upon the floor, and exc
cuted an Indian war dance upon them, all the
while yelling and shouting frantically. Then
it was deemed time to stop his drunken per-
formances, and he was expelled.

Mr.. Algernon G. Swinburne, having heavily
drunken of strong wine, would fain set his face
homeward; but not finding the hat of him,
was wroth because of it; and danced upon the
hats of other men in such mad wise that he
became banished for this cause from the Arts
Club (Vide contemporary hastory.*)

IT is said that the Democrats in the Con-
necticut legislature gathered in group after
arranging for the sale of the Senatorship 10
Barnum and sang the following stanza from
Whittier's Centennial hymn:
For art and labor met in truce
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank Thee. while, withal, we crave
The austere virtues strong to save
The honor PROOF to place or gold
The manhood neUer bought nor sold
