the following paragraph in its editorial

the following paragraph in its editorial
columns:
What IS tae matter with Mr.. Whitthorne?
He promised that long ere TINS ne wunld as
tonish the civilized world with staftilpg aS HIS-
closures, but, alas, 1t seems that he has failed
Poor Whitthorne.
Whittehorne is chairman Of the naval
committee. When Mr.. MuriaEh printed
the above he did BOT know the follow
ing facts had been proved and were IN
possession of MIR. Whitthorne. During
the yesrs 1874 and 1875 Murtagh received
from one Wallace three thousand dol
lsrs rs q commission for securing him
the contract for furnishing live oak TIM
Der to the navy department.. 1t was
also proved that Murtagh recaived ten
Thousand dollars for his influences in
helping Savage to get his claim allowed.
Gold had gone up when his work for the
department was done, wages and pro-
visions had gone up, and proportlonate
drawback was claimed. With Murtagh's
help Savage got the amount, which
was ten thousand dollars. Alter the
above taunting editorial paragraph ap-
peared to-day. Mr.. Murtagh was sum-
moned before the committee. Then he
went to Savage and told him that II he
would consider the ten thousand dollar
loan he would give him his note or the
cash for the amount. Mr.. Murtagh went
before the committee, but when he was
confronted with the evidence he owned
m. To further questions, however, he
answered that none Of the money had
gone to the secretary Of the navy. He
had only used his personal Influence I"
to get the contracts.
THE SAFE BURGLARY.
New York Tribune.l
WASHINGTON, March 13.-There
seems to be more reason to hope that the
Whcle truth in regard to the notorious
district safe burglary conspiracy Will
come out in the Investigation by the
house Judiciary COMMITTEES than has be-
fore existed. NettIeship, in his confess
sion to Distrlct-Attorney Wells, corrob-
grated the testimony OF Michael Hayes,
one of the men employed to plan the
safe burglary, and who was examined
by the special committee of 1874, and
additional missing links are reported to
have been supplied by the confession OF
another of the employees Of the conspira-
tors.
There is, it seems, too, a woman in
the safe-burglary business. This has
not been published or publicly suspect
ed until now. The sergeant-at-arms is
on her track, and expects to have her
here in three days. For prudential
reasons her name cannot now be given.
This woman Is said to be the missing
link that will convict the professional
burglars who did the miserable j OBJ with
the mysterious persons who, sitting in a
darkened room, with pebbles in their
mouths to disguise their voices, conduct
ed the original negotiations with Mike
Hayes.

JULIA WARD HOWE finG5 in recent

man under the same disabilities which
everywhere restrain women from !fee
natural action, and he ct once feels his
impotence, and IS as much crippled blythe

for one hour even, the freedom which

tae same power Of enjoying and using

facts attending the perjury of John j. Price

TO SO fully explain the mystery attending
this chapter il the scandal that the friends
OF Loader now agree in advising him 10 let
the matter rest. Consequently the suit for
malicious prosecution Contemplated by his
counsel, Mr.. j. L. Marean, will not be insti-
tuted. A Brooklyn lawyer, who was for a
time at work on Leaders case said that he
put a man In the same cell with Price in
Raymond street jail, with instructions to
get out OF him all that he could about his
supposed sale of himself. The only import
ant fact he got was that Price said that the
Beeeher party had put $500 to his credit in
one of the Brooklyn savings banks. Deputy

ECONOMICAL MASSACHUSETTS WOMEN
The Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel has this
striking statement: "Since We published the
statement few days ago respecting lady
IN W estminSter whose annual expenses for
clothing did not exceed eleven dollars per
annuln, one of our Eitchburg ladies, in high
social position, has stated that her annual
expense for clothing, doctors, and dentists
bills for the past eleven years has averaged
less than seven dollars per annum. IL is
evident that neither one of these ladies is
responsible for the panic, through which
we are now passing, for their extravaganza,
and IL Is refreshing to know in these fearful
times OF bankruptcy and dishonesty that
some high born ladies can declare their in
