Tho Decatur County Court House
Blown Up.

LEON, Iowa, April 1.-The court
house here was entered about three
O'Clock this morning. The entrance
was made through a window. Pow
der was used, blowing out the entire
west end and demolishing the treas
urer's and recorders offices. Pieces
Of the vault were found among the
ruins. The safe has not been reached
yet, and we cannot tell whether its
contents had been removed before the
building was blown up, or blown up
in tho effort to secure the same. The
contents, in the absence Of the treas
urer, are estimated attwenty thous-
and to thirty thousand dollars
Workmen are removing the debris to
ascertain the loss. The building was
two years old, aud was substantial
brick. The loss on the same will be
not less than ten thousand dollars,
and may be total. Ii is hoped that
some one of the party may be found
in the ruins.

LATER.

The contents of the treasurcr's safe
are found untouched. The explosion
may have been premature. Persons
in Leon are suspected of the attempted
burglary. Decatur county loses only
ON the building and fixtures.

CAPITAL REMOVAL BILL.

The Finance Committee of the Senate
has had the Capital Removal Bill under
consideration for several days, and has
agreed to report 1t back with various
amendments. The most important
amendments agreed upon by the Com
mittee and TO be reported to-day are
changing the time fol holding the elec
tions and directing the proposition to be
submitted to q vote Of the people
whether the Capital shall be perma-
nently located at this time or not We
have frequently cal ed attention to ne
cessity for amending the bill in this frst
particular, as two special elections would
cost the State the some Of sixty thousand
dollars, when by submitting the PROPOSE
ton toa vote at the general election,
this expense would not be incurred. and
there would be full and more sstisfac-
tory expression from the people. The
amendment provides that the officers con.
Quoting the general election shall open
polls TO take the sense of the voters upon
the matters submitted to them, and con.
sequently the ohe set of officers con-
duct both elections. The second
proposition OF taking the sense
of the votes of the State as to whether
they want the capital permanently lecs-
ted or lot at tins time, is also an impor-
tant amendment. From the tone of the
State press and expressions OF individu-
ais from different parts of the State who
are in position to know the sentiment
OF the people. it is matter of grave
doubt whether any considerable portion
of our people want the question sgitated
at all or not. At auy rate it is well
enough to have an expression of the pee.
pie, and If q majority are in favor OF
making permanent location now, then
the town receiving majority of the
whole vote shall be the permanent seat
oil government.

THE RAILROAD MEETING LAST
NIGHT.

Quite a good turnout of the business
men of Wheeling was had at the rail-
road meeting at the Grant House, last
night; but owing to the absence at Pitts
burgh of our principal iron manufac,u-
rers, the attendance of representatives OF
that interest was, unfortunately, small.
A few gentlemen of Bridgeport
were present, rs was also the
superintendent and engineer and
the attorney of the road. The oti-
GERS of the road present gave to the
meeting a considerable amount OF in-
formation respecting the condition OF the
company and its prospects, and the
Bridgepo gentlemen gave detailed
sccoupt OF the labor that had been per-
formed, by way of getting up subscrip
! t,ons and right OF way, on the pro-
posed lines between this city and
Uhricksville, the present southern termi-
! nus of the track. After some consuIsa-
ton, committee composed of DIR.
THOMAS LOGAN, HENRY h. LIST, Capt.
JOIN MCLURE and ID. {. LIST, Jr, =,
was appointed TO arrange for a more
/ general meeting Of the manufacturers
| and business men OF the city,
to pe held on Saturday even
Ing, at the Hall of the Sec
ond Branch of the City Council. The
importance Of this road to the merchants
and manufacturers of Wheeling is so
great, and the benefits to be derived
from its completion SO apparent, that it
seems to u, that not le:s than two or three
hundred Of the representative men OF the
place should be found al the meeting to-
morrow night.

ed their inquiry to day. DR.. 5. l.. Til
bert, of Phi adelphia, of the firm OF III
bert & Taylor, contractors under the late
Board of Public Works of this city, re-
hearsed the story Of buying contracts
from parties who obtained them from the
Board of Public Works and paying poll
teal assessments. Witness never paid
any money to any member of Congress
for his influence, nor did he know OF any
mem Der who was connected in any man
ner with these matters. A gentle
man named Woodward, At one
time did the work for him. Taylor
failed financially, and being a personal
friend of Governor Cooke, came here
and asked for assistance. Governor
Cooke gave HIM contract for laying
$1,000 yards of pavement AT So 5O per
square ward. Col. w. F. Pelton, Gov
ernor TIlde.'s private secretary, and ex.
senator Sprsgue were interested In this
work
Ii. Ii. Slater, clerk fo- Filbert Il Tay-
lor, contractors. and their partner IN Ger.
tain work, testified that 81 500 was paid
Congressman Eldridge in 1872. At that
time E.dridge was on the House District
Committee. Various sums from sl,OOo
10 81, 900 were also paid 10 ID. Z. Forney,
and about the same time TO Hsllet Nil
bourne and other newspaper men, ana
tor political purposes elsewhere. Wit.
ness whenohsnded the book which had
the item marked &C. SAID Taylor, his
partner. said he did not believe the
check .or $1,000 which the ~
referred 10 was paid to Senator
Cameron, rs mad been alleged, but that FIJI.
bert used it himself. The witness con-
tlnued: At tine same date there Is an
entry of check for So 600 in favor OF
man named Taylor, not member OF the
firm, and opposite this entry is the letter
H. Witness learned from his partner,
TAYLOR, orally, that this money was
alleged TO have been paid TO Harmer,
memb Der OF Congress and q: that time
chairman Of the District Ctm-
mi.tee. Mr.. Taylor, the witness said, was,
however, under the impression that
none Of these amounts were really
paid TO any OF the parties.
Col. w. T Pel,on testified that be
was vice president OF the company Tor
the preparation OF wood psvemepts ard
that Seustor Sprsgue never had any
interest either directly or indirectly IN
the company or its works here.
