BristoW and the Mary Merritt.
LOUISVILLE, April q.

LOUISVILLE, April q.
A Courier-Jownal reporter inter
viewed Hon. Walter Evans, of this
city, in reference to the case of the
bark Mary Merritt, about which Cate,
of Wisconsin, offered a resolution in
Congress. Mr. Evans said there was
nothing in Secretary Bristow's connec-
ton with that case, which is in the
slightest degree improper, but on the
contrary his sensitiYeness Of official
propriety had resulted in great injury
to lis { Evans) clients. Mr.. Evans
said the facts in the case are: The
bark Mary Merritt was owned by Muir
ray, of Canada, who bought her from
Tice Bros, of HopkinsvilIe, Kentucky.
On warrant, the bark was seized in
Wisconsin for mere technical violation,
and forfeited. An appeal to the Su-
preme Court was taken, and Tice Bros
employed Felland and Evans, lawyers,
to obtain remission of forfeiture
They visited Washington and offered
Bristow employment in the case, he
then holding no public Office. Their
proposition to him was declined, but
Bristow introduced them TO Sec'y
Richardson, Evans says this was done
without compensation or promise there
of, and purely for friendship. Their
efforts before Richardson did not sue
ceed, owing to the representations of
Weiss, the informer in the case. Sub
sequently, when Bristow became Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, an application
for remission was renewed, but he
positively refused to act in the case,
and placed his refusal upon the ground
that he had already appeared in the
case, as described. Weiss, subsequent
ly, as Evans understood, made affidavit
that he had been misintorned, and
united in prayer that the application
for remission be granted. Evans
learned that remission was approved by
Mr.. Conant, Acting Secretary of the
Treasury, after examination of the case
by the Solicitor of the Treasury. His
clients never obtained remission, nor
has he or his partner ever received a
cent for services. He stated distinctly
that Bristow was never an attorney in
the case never received farthing for
services, and pronounces this assault
utterly groundless, and made for polit-
zeal purposes.

Growth Of Thought and the
Thinking Powers.
fond du Lac Reporter.

The first thought awakens in the
brain What is it? and what is it
about? How feeble and faint-how
confused, shadowy and trembling. But
the thinking something has start upon
an endless career Of toll, discovery and
emotion. The first thought begets de-
sire and enlarges capability for another.
The first discovery awakens curiosity
and stimulates aspirations for an enlarge
ment of the circle of vision. The first
pleasing emotion kindles thirst immor-
tai for it's repetition upon deeper and
broader scale. The acting and re-
acting process has commenced, to be
continued without cessation and with
accommodating force through intermin-
able ever throbbing along the cycles of
the houndless What beginning !
What career! Thought climbs from
point to point. Thinking powers are
increased by the addition of each and
every fresh idea. Light increases.
The store house of knowledge swells
out into deeper and broader dimensions.
It's capacity becomes to the finite,
measureless. boundless. Though t
turns upon itself and the thinking
something becomes the greatest mystery
of all surroundings. It stands appaIl-
ed before itself. Depths open below
which it cannot fathom heights tower
far above which it cannot scale. He
is world of wonders in himself
Nature invites and opens its store
house of beauties, mysteries, har.9onles
and wonders before the sparkling vision
Of thought. Its languages are master
ed and the dialects of all lands and OF
all ages finds home in the brain and

JUDGE CATE is perplexed and hor-
rifed to find that he is expected to ap-
pear as prosecutor in the Bristow in
yestigation. He plaintively objected,
but didn't succeed in being released
from the unpleasant duty. 1t is not
strange that Cate should prefer to be
seen no more in this investigation, for
we venture the prediction that it will
result in fasco that will make the
originators ridiculous.

Mr.. WILLIAM MCKEE, senior pro-
prietor of The st. Louis Glo6e-D Demo-

citizens of that city, was yesterday
sentenced by Judge Dillon to two
years Imprisonment in the county jail
and to fine of $4,000. Mr.. Nc
Kee was convicted, it will be remem-
bered, of conspiring to defraud the
revenue. The sentence is very Sc
we're one, but perhaps not unjust. Tho
prisoner is an old man, and 1t is not
probable that he will long survive his
dishonor. An effort will be made to
have some part of his sentence re-
mitted.

THE WAR ON BRIsToW.-Judge
Cate has attracted attention by the in
PRODUCTION Of ponderous resolution
about the seizure of the Mary Merritt.
1t is said that there has ''probably
never been so bigoted, unfair and
meanly partisan a preamble in the his
tory Of Congress" as he introduced.
and it caused uneasiness among Demo
Gratis on account of its gross unfair
ness.
The Tribune correspondent then
shows how this political Pharisee holds
his seat by fraud, and that the legis-
lature asked Congress by memorial to
enquire by what authority Cate holds
his seat.
1t is noticed that the extracts pasted
on Gates resolution were cut from a
paper printed on but one side, and that
the hand writing is not that of Judge
Cate. It is however, the same as the
handwriting in the Lynde resolution
relative to the pay of editors for de-
tecting whisky frauds, and that was
not written by Lynde. These facts
are stated to show that there is a sys-
tematlc war on Bristow by the whisky
ring.

JUDGE CATE would not seem to be
just the man TO clamor for investiga-
tions into alleged irregularity, mas
much as he would never have been in
Congress but for the grossest election
frauds. He soiemnly proposed an in

against Bristow in relation to the Mary
Merritt case, seemingly oblivious to
fact that the utter falsity of that &C

Democrats as well as Republicans.
