NEWARK CHARTER ELECTION.

In the way fact and ngure there is very little to
be added to the report in yeserdays HERALD Of the
Newark charter election Tho city went decidedly
publican, though by greatly reduced majsrlties
compared with the vote Of last year. In 1875 the city
gave Mayor Yates, republican, majority of 1870 ana
the republican Aldermen an aggregate majority Of
$780, This year the republican city ticket receives
only about 1,60O and the aggregate republican ma
jority Aldermen Is only about 500, q falling of OF
about $500 This Is undoubtedly due to great rcpub-
lican deiectons in wards where she Germans
merous, noticcaby in the Twelfth, Thi rseenth and
Sixth wards The latter completely swung
round from the republicans and elected
democratic Alderman The Thirteenth, which
gave the republican Alderman In 1875 about 700 barely
escaped being captured by tho democrats, their
didaie being defeated by only seventy votes II
isnoteworshy that, while the democratic total vote In
creased nearly 200 since last year. the republican
vote is increased only about eighty. Upon Aldermen
the republicans this gain the First Fourth, fifh,
Eighth aud Fifteenth carried by the democrats two
years ago The democrats gain the Sixth and Tenth,
carried by the republicans last year. While the
pubiicans have really carried the city Handsomely,

BLAINES ACCUSERS CORNERED.

WASHINGTON, March rs The gang Of "Arkan-
sas Travellers" whose hatred for Blaine is more
honest and sincere than their support of Senator
Morton, relying upon the practice ofnvestigating
committees heretofore of throwing open their
doors for the reception of all sorts of rimors and
gossip, came to Washington bringing with them
filthy budget which they intended to open in the
presence of committee Of the House and publish
to the world for the destruction of the ex-Speak-
er They had reason to hate him, they think, and
probably believe that he was not disnterested
spectator of the contest which took place in ther
State year ago between law and decency on the
one side and usurpation on the other. They think
think that he might have instructed the Special
Investigating Committee, of which Judge Poland
was Chairman, in such a way9as to have secured
the recognition of Brooks as Governor by the
House, and they came here bent on having their
revenge. Yesterday the investigation was re-
sumed, but the labors Of the mountain brought
forth very little mouse. To-day the Committee
on the Judiciary held full meeting, for the pur-
pose of determining the limits which they should
place upon the reception of Testimony, and adopt
ed resolution that the investigation SO far this
subject is concerned shall be confined to matters
relating TO the identical Is Little Rock and Fort
Smith bonds, which subsequently came into the
possession of the Union Pacific Road, and that all
testimony taken in regard to them shall be in the
nature of evidence that is, that while the state
ments of his own knowledge made to witness by
third person may be admitted, idle gossip and
street rumors, which cannot be traced to any re-
sponsble source, shall be rigidly excluded. Un-
der this rule the bottom entirely fell out of the
investigation. Two witnesses, Sickles and Had
ley, were examined, but when their knowledge
was put 10 the test it was not of such character
as could be admitted. The decision of the Com

AN UNEXPECTED ANSWER

There was one passage in the testimony of Live
Oak Swift which it is to be hoped the Naval Com
mittee will not expunge from its records. Live
Oak Swift had been put on the stand. He wa.
asked whether he paid any money for political
purposes. He begged the committee not to press
him to answer. Swift said that he had been
democrat all his life and his father before him and
always expected to be. lie begged that the ques.
ton be not pressed.
The democrats, eager to catch the Navy Depart
ment and thinking that they were already count
ing the money which has been contributed to
Robeson's Senatorial campaign, insisted upon an
answer. Swift reluctantly began. He paid &c.,
