THE NEXT CONGRESS-.

The people of Wheeling should not
forget that they have a deep interest in
the character of the next Congress
They ure now represented BY d gentle
man who has steadily voted Tor retTench-
ment and low taxes. His opponent
would he bound to support his party IN
resisting these reform measures. He
would be bound to support the admins
tration in its corruption and extrav-
agnnce. 1t is not a question
of men, merely, but of parties and meas
ures. The Democratic party is pledged
TO Retrenchment and Reform; the Re
publican party is committed to Extrava-
gance and High Taxes. In its wasteful-
ness 1t has squsudered hundreds and
hundreds of millions of the hsrd.earned
money of the people. Ii the taxpayers
desire to institute system Of Economy,
they must vote for Hon. BEN. WILSON
the man who represents the idea
of Reform in this canvass. Re-
trenchment is the first principle IN
volved in this campaign. 1t must be
carried out. The people are resolved
upon it. Gov. TILDEN is pledged to it.;
the National Democratic platform is full
of the Democratic Congress insugura-
ted 1t, and it must 60 forward. Let the
voters remember that they cannot secure
the relief they desire unless they elect
Democrats TO Congress. See what the
present Democratic Congress has accom-
pl,shedl 1t has saved the people Thirty
Millions of Dollars, and uncovered
degree OF infamy on the part
of the Republican party which timo can
not etfsce from our national escutcheon'
Therefore, vote for Col. Wilson; vote
for Democratic candidates fo- Congress
throughout the State with the same zeal
that you will vote for SAMUEL .. I'LL
DEN, Stand by your nominees.

Talk ofImpeaching Grant

Commercial.

Washington Special april 81 to the Cincinnati
COm1nercial.
Gen. Babcock had an interview
with the President to-day. Two 9TH
er gentlemen were present. He de-
MED any connection whatever with
the safe burglary conspiracy, and en-
tered into minute explanation on
every point. Rumor is wild as to
the effect upon the President. but
the gentlemen present say that he
preserved his ordinary immovable
composure, and expressed no decid-
ed opinion. 1t is now admitted by
White House intimates that the Pres
ident did not order the discontinue
ance of the suits against the conspir-
ators. They say that he did not
write an order to that effect, but
gave his views to Babcock, who then
called upon the Attorney General
and informed him that the President
thought it would be unnecessary TO
carry this thing any further" This
is an important admission, as it has
been heretofore denied that Grant
interfered in any way.
There is great deal of talk of the
impeachment Of the President, both
on account of his alleged connection
with the Real Estate Pool and his
subsequent knowledge of Babcock's 8
connection with the safe burglary,
and his failure TO do his plain duty
in tho premises. 1t is not probable
that it can be established that Grant
was in the Real Estate Pool, howev-
er, and will, of course, be difficult to
prove that he did have knowledge
after the fact that Babcock was one
of the safe burglary conspiratcrs.
Babcock's friends claim that he was
anxious to appear before the COM
mittee, and he states that he sent
a letter asking to be summoned.
The reverse Of this appears TO be
true. The Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms
had difficulty in finding him, and his
letter has not yet reached its desti-
nation.

LOUISVILLE.
Decision in the Famous New
comb Case.

LOUISVILLE, April THE famous
domestic tragedy suit, commonly
known as the Newcomb case, was
decided to-day by Chancellor Bruce
for the plaintiff. In 1888, II. d.
Newcomb married Miss n. Read,
both then being residents Of Louis
Vile. In 1858 Mrs. Newcomb be-
came insane and was finally placed
in the hospital at Somerville, and is
now in that institution, though nev-
er judicially found to be insane.
In 1872, the Kentucky Legislature
passed an act by which an addition
al ground of divorce existed in cases
where the husband or wife are incu-
rably insane and such insanity as he
reditary, the taint not having been
made known at the time of the mar
riage. Under this act Mr.. Newcomb
obtained q divorce and some time
afterwards was again married and
had two children by his second union.
In 1874. Mr.. Newcomb, who was the
President of the Louisville, Nash
vile and Great Southern railroad,
died, leaving large estate, which
he disposed of by VIII. At this juno
ture the friends of the first wife in
stituted a suit claiming her property
and right to the estate on the ground
that she had never been legally di-
vorced. The case has been in court
more than a year, and to-day a de-
cision was rendered holding the di-
vorce to be absolutely void, and de-
creeing to the first wife, Mrs. Cor
nelia w. Newcomb, her property
and rights as the lawful wife. The
result of the decision is to give to
the first Mrs. Newcomb one-third of
her late husband S personal property,
stock, bonds, money and the like,
and a dover in the lands. The
greatness of the estate, which ex-
ceeds a million and half of dollars
and the prominence of the persons
involved in the litigation, has given
it an unusual interest. The will of
Mr.. Newcomb devises 100000 to
the children by the second marriage
and to their mother, all of whom are
now living. The decision does not
effect or inyalidate the will. An ex-
press Kentucky statute removes all
question of the legitimacy OF the
children by the second marriage, and
relieves them from any such impu-
tation.

MISSISSIPPI INVESTIGATION.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Sen
ate passed a bill appropriating $10,
900 to defray the expenses of the
special committee appointed to in
vestigate the election in Mississippi
SOUTHERN PACIFIC R.R. BILLS sHELYED
The Pacific r. r. committe of the
Senate laid Huntington's Southern
Pacific r. r. bill on the table, not to
be called up. except on call by the
majority of tie whole committee, and
one weeks notice. This leaves both
bills in the same position in either
house, and virtually shelves the
whole matter. until after the Presi-
Dental election.
MISTAKE OF ONLY $4,000.
1t is stated Clapp supposed there
were $4,000 in the safe of the pub
lie printer. The count showed only
$4,000.
SPENCER WITNESSES COST $4,000.
The witnesses in the Spencer in
vestigation cost over $4,000.
In the safe burglary investigation
to-day Babeock produced q letter
from Whitley, asking Babcock's eff
forts in getting months pay due
him from the Government. To this
Babcock answered: "Before this
reaches you, you and your man will
be paid"
Ex.Atterney General Williams tes-
titled that he stopped the prosecu-
tion against Whitley and Harrington
without any suggestions from the
President.
Ex-SolieitQr Banfield also testified.
He corroborates Wnitely's statement
in several particulars. Riddle, who
acted as special counsel against Har-
rington and Whitley, has been sum-
moned.
THE BELL EVIDENCE.
Solicitor Bluford Wilson testified
he did send the telegram to Dyer
which Bell swore he aaw in Dyer's
hand, Wilson was informed by Off
GERS of the secret service that Bell
was working for Babcock. About
the 10th of February Bell called on
Wilson and communicated a state
ment which Bell had repeated before
this committee, that he had evidence
that Babcock and Avery were guilty.
Bell proposed that as long as he
thought Babcock innocent he work
ed for him, and when he found him
guilty gave him up. 1t seems that
Avery was disappointed in not be-
ing allowed to turn States evidence
ANOTHER POST TRADER PAYS $4,000.
Loeb, the post trader at Fort Con-
cha, paid Gen. Rice $4,000. but did
not, as has been stated, pay $4,000

Gazette.
There Is q great sensation here
over the testimony of the Detective
Whitley directly connecting Gen.
Babcock and Harrington in the safe
burglary. There is great and de-
served prejudice here against this
class of evidence. for the reason that
of late several gangs of detectives
have been operating here, and each
have been responsible for the circu-
lation of false and scandulous stories
concerning various public men. In
this case Gen. Babcock's own bear
ing before the committee created an
unfavorable impression, and strength
ened the feeling of the committee
that he had a guilty knowledge of
the conspiracy. There is now no
doubt but an indictment will be
found against him, and that the case
will receive a thorough sitting be-
fore the criminal branch of the Su-
preme Court of the District.

Recently a dog-a beagle hound

Recently dog--a beagle hound
was discovered sucking a COW belong
ing to w. w. Tshudy, of Smyrna,
Delaware, and he was killed with
club whilst in the act. From the
lack of milk from the COW, it is quite
evident that the dog has been play
ing calf for several months, and the
longer he played the more success
full he became. The COW had be-
come almost worthless for milk.
What render the matter more sur
prisfng is the fact that the dog was
we'll advanced beyond puppydom,
when he might crave such nourish-
ment, while the cow was an old strip
per, and not pinipg for lost calf 1t
seems, however, that the strongest
attachment had grown up between
them. for when the dog was killed
the COW became enraged, and made
at the party who dispatched him with
the utmost fury.
