of interrogatories by the in
sigating committee, and have
zen the means of obtaining in>
rmation from witnesses who
fave knowledge OF their con-
ents.
Surprise is expressed that the
committee on the powers, priv
ileges and duties of the House,
now engaged in the investiga-
ton of private matters connect.
ed with the electoral vote,
should not only sit with closed
doors, but impose obligations of
secrecy on members. The Sc
lect Committee on Privileges
and Elections of the Senate,
inquiring into the same subject,
admit reporters, thus saving the
public from harm through bogus
reports of what occurs.
Turner, Telegraph Manager
at Jacksonville Oregon, testified
before the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections that he new
er had original papers, and
knows nothing beyond the fact
that $4,000 had been sent from
New York to Oregon, Morton
stated that in examining the
books, he found $4,000 had
been rsmitted to Patrick. who is
reported to be the Western
agent of the National Demo
cratic Committee.
Before the House Committee
Purnam testified regarding dis
patches sent to Florida from
Chandler and Others. The gen
eral tenor was, GAS you have
carried tine State by a Repub-
lican majority, preserve it, and
keep yourselves from being de-
trauded out of it." Purnam
had no exact knowledge of the
contents of the dispatches.
The Judiciary Committee of
the House discussed the Louis
lana Returning Board, but took
no action. A prominent mem.
Der says the tone OF discussion
indicates that the board will be
returned to the House ill con-
tempt.
Orion is at the bar of the
House. The whole subject in
volved in Orton's answer has
been referred to the Judiciary
Committee. Meantime, Orton
remains in nominal custody of
the Sergeant-at-arms.
Washington, Jan. 15.-In
the House, Orion pleaded ILL
health, and that he had no con-
troll over the kilograms called
tor.
Mr. Cochrane offered a rese-
luton directing the Judiciary
Committee to inquire whether
any of the privileges granted to
the Western Union Telegraph
Company by Congress would be
revoked. If SO, directing the
committee to inquire into the
propriety of revoking those
privileges. Defeated-not two
thirds voting in the affirmative.

yet attacked Yancey from the

Like his present ally, Moseby,

THE GRAssuoPPERs. Last
Sunday Capt Walsh and broth
er made extensive grasshopr er
researches on their farm across
the river, aud the investigations
proved very satisfactory. Many
of the little sacks containing
the eggs were warmed by the
fire and then examined, and bnt
now and then could live insects
be found in them. The severe
cold weather OF the past few
weeks, afeer the warm weather
in the early part OF the winter,
has played sad havoc with the
little hoppers, and the farmers
are happy.-Statesmdn.

1t is reported that Tilden, the
President elect, is about to visit
Washington City. The Repub-
lican newspaper OF that city,
Grants organ, talks about revo-
buttons, conspiracses and other
"chimeras Dire" to be manipu-
lated by the master hand of
Tilden. The "Rep,sblacan,"
and all its sort, may bide their
guilty souls in all the peace they
can. If Tilden is elected, as
every man not poisoned by par
tisan virus, or bulldozed by
Chandler, Logan d Co., candid
ly admits, the President elect
and his friends have too much
reverential affection for the
American Constitution to per-
nit it TO be trampled under foot
and spat upon by a set of polit-
ical debau;h ees, who are driven
to desperation by the exposures
OF their outrageous corruptions
and stealtny practices. They
will be stripped OF the shield of
power, which has heretofore
covered their moral deformity,
and their corruptions of eight
years, will be held up to the
American people. They may
make up their minds that retrib-
utive justice is close on their
heels.

FESTIVITIES AT FoRT WORTH.
= John Leer, last Sunday night
while under the influence of liz
quor, rode into a saloon to sup
plement his already deep pota-
lions, and with cooked pistol in
hand, ordered the bar tender
to mix him a drink. 1t was
promptly done of course. But
he informed the police, who at
once arrested John, and Johnny
promptly gave bail. 1t seems
that the course pursued by the,
bar tender excited the ire of the
irrassible Mr.. Leer. who no SOON
er was out OF sight of the police
than he turned round and fired
f,e shots through the glass door
of the saloon at the inmates,
hitting and perhaps mortally
woundipg a Mr.. Stewart. And
all this muss because a drunken
desperate was not permitted to
enjoy in his lawless way, anmo-
Tested.

The investigation OF the Or
egon electoral vote business by
the Senate is, according to re
ports made to. the New York
Herald. developing a strong
case in favor of Gov. Growers
action, and in support of the
position of Cronin, the Demo
cratic elector. 1t is stated that
the committee will be forced TO
recognize Cronin's vote, which
elects Tilden, or to throw it out
and allow TO Oregan but two
votes. in which event there will
be no election, when the matter
will at once 60 to the House.
Such decision would at any
rate effect a peaceful settlement
Of the difficulty.

were taken from the jsil in
Bolton, Friday, the 5th
inst, about 2 o'clock in the
morning, by a mob of twenty
or thirty armed men, and
hanged about a mile and a

of lawlessness, do serious dam
age to the entire State. No
one knows who committed the
crime. II a few Of these vol
