One Of the Russian proverbs runs: "An awl
cannot be hid in q sack" The fate of Corona
witch, of Odessa, shows that treacherous
police tool cannot be long concealed in loose
and baggy association, such as q Socialist
society. He was a student in one Of the gov
ernment gymnasa, and was induced
to join secret society. His associ-
ates suspected that he was disloyal to
the cause, and in the pay of the police. Spies
were set to dog his footsteps, and eventually
the society, convinced of his guilt, resolved to
put him out of the way. One evening while
he was taking. a lonely walk near the city, a
band Of conspirators beat his head almost to
a jelly, and then drenched it with vitriol,
leaving the wretched lad on the highway hor-
ribly disfigured and nearly dead. He was
rescued by the police and conveyed to a hos
a clean breast of his connection with the So
ciety, and named his associates.

A REPUBLICAN INTRIGUE.
The AntI-Hayes Republicans Anxious to
Beat the Presidents Nominees.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The intrigue by Re-
publican Senators last March, which had for
It's object the defeat. by the help of Demo
crats of the Cabinet, has been renewed here,
the object now being to gain over Democratic
Senators to help the anti-Hayes Republicans
TO defeat many of the Presidents nomina-
tions. The same Republican Senators who
plotted to procure the rejection of the Cabi-
net in March are believed to be engaged in
the present scheme, which Is about as certain
to fail as the former. There is a feeling OF
intense bitterness among some Republican
Senators towards the President, and they are
determined to break down his nominations
and his policy at all hazards
There is a rumor that the Louisiana Sena-
tors-Spofford and Eustis-could be put in ut
once, and by the act of prominent Republican
Senators, If they were able to assure these in
their turn Of enough Democratic votes in the
Senate to defeat some of the prominent nomi-
nations of the President now before the Sen
ate. The anti-Hayes men would need at least
O dozen Democratic Senators to help them in
their scheme.

The Contested Seats In the House.
n New York World I

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Committee on
Elections of the House met this morning and
entered into consideration of the seventeen
contested cases before it: 1t was decided to
notify all contestants to file within one week,
with the committee their testimony for pub
lication. The contested cases will be taken
up alphabetically in the order of States,
making, in the regular order, the Belford.
Patterson contest third on the list. The order
in which the contests are given consideration
depends much upon the time occupied in col
lating and printing the testimony, and
Messrs. Belford and Patterson are both max
ing strenuous efforts to obtain for their case
the first hearing of the committee. The
papers in the Colorado case haveing already
been sent to the printer, that case will be the
first one disposed of.

The Bones Of the Nations Dead Not to be
scattered With Gunp0wder Blasts.
Chr,

N. Y. Sun.
A survivor of the wreck of the iron-clad
Tecumseh, who lives in this city, received a
letter on Monday from Geo. M. Duskin, United
States Attorney for the Southern District of
Alabama, informing him Of the granting. of a
perpetual injunction against junk dealers,
and all other persons, restraining them from
interfering with the remains Of the iron-clad
and two hundred men whose bones lie in her
hulk at the bottom of Mobile Bay.
The Tecumseh was sunk by a torpedo In the
channel off Fort Morgan, Mobile bay, in the
fight under Admiral Farragut, on the 9th of
May, 1864, and of 200 souls on board only
seven escaped. They found egress through a
hatch eighteen inches square in the turret.
The wreck has lain ever since deep down in
the quicksand where the vessel sank-a vast
iron coffin for the men who went down in her,
no attempt having been made to recover their
bodies.
Secretary Robeson sold the wreck last win
ter to junk dealers for old iron. 1t being
necessary to make some 600 blasts to obtain
the iron in pieces, which would have scat
tered the bones of the patriots in all direc-
tions, steps were taken to stop this desecra-
ton of the patriots remains and a temporary
Injunction was obtained An appeal from the
proceedings was taken by the junk dealers,
and the United States Circuit Court for the
District of Alabama has ordered that the in
junction be perpetual.

shrinkage of Values In Massachusetts,.

The State valuation falls off this year
S1o1, 100000, being about S7o,OOo,0o0 on real
estate and s3o,OOo,000 on personal. This is
the largest reduction Of any year yet, and
overdoes in some measure the initiation ol
years like 1872, when an increase of 5000 600 OOC
was reported. The valuation Of the State, as
now reduced, and without the corporations
and the savings bank deposits, stands at
81 ,66S, ,226 900. The depreciation at Boston
this year was over S62, 100000. The reduction
in taxation last year was nearly $4,000, 600
but this year only 1851 900, showing that most
municipalities made in 1876 about all the re-
duction possible in their expenditure. The
