There has been no action or
either side with regard to the con
temptuous telegraphers.
The Committee on Privileges
and Elections has found some
bankers who are not willing tC
become witnesses regarding the
eight thousand dollars alleged to
have been sent to Oregon. They
are threatened with the bar Of the
Senate for contempt.
The current feeling is towards
compelling the telegraphers to
answer fully.
In the House the most of the

that as a Senator and lawyer he

From inc Knoxville Chronicle.

The true inwardness Of the Gro
min business begins to develop.
Two or three days ago it came out
that Patrick had received a liber-
al allowance for his "expensesn
TO Washington, amounting to the
snug sum of three thousand dol
lars. 1t also appears from his
own testimony that he was paid
by drafts on certain New York
banks. He testified that his
actual expense from Portland TO
Washington was about two thou
sand dollars. II also camc out
that a man by the name of Pat
rick appeared in Oregon about
that time and informed Cronin
that if Tilden was elected he
(Cronin) could get anything he
wanted. This and the three thou
sand dollars stirred his patriotic
soul, and he resolved that he
would be an Electoral College all
by himself. Before this he had
been v%irtuous and he said that he
wouldn't act as elector under the
circumstances, even ia certificate
were given him, but after seeing
the action of the rascally Return
ing boards in South Carolina, Flori-
d aand LOuisian after having seen
Patrick whom he characterized as
"Mr. Tilden's extreme Western
agent" and the three thousand
dollars, especially the last men
toned item, he repented and con
scented to serve his country in the
capacity Of an Electoral College.
Patriotic Ethcbold Allen Cronin {!
And strangely enough about
the time all this was coming to
the surface, Senator Morton and
the Senate Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections, seem to have
received information that a GER
tain eight thousand dollars was an
important factor in the interest
ing result in Oregon. A certain
telegraphic operator, namedTurn-
er, is supposed to know something
about it, and he is summoned.
But he refuses to tell what he
knows about the messages re-
.ceived or sent by this extreme
Western agent" of Mr.. Iilden.
Certain bankers have been sum
moncd, but it appears that they
are also unwilling witnesses and
do not testify readily. The histo-
ry of that eight thousand dollars
may be full Of interest, and we
trust that the committee of inyes-
tigation may be able to give it in
all It's details before they are
through. It's possible that Gov,
Grover may know some things
about it. 1t is possible that one
of Tilden's "bar'ls' is short that
much.

Corporation Election.

Dlu as was last saturday there
was quite d spiritual contest in
Cleveland for corporation Off
GERS.
The entire board is new, with
the exception Of j. T. Cate, who
was reelected in the sixth ward
without opposition.
The new board commences
work under peculiar difficulties.
The most severe winter is upon
us that the citizens have ever
seen. 1t has taken the best pre-
pared b. surprise. For nearly
two weeks but little wood could
be hauled TO town and the coal
yards are empty and those that
have wood and coal are dividing
with those who are without.
There are more needy and suf
iering persons in Cleveland this
winter than there have been for
many winters past, and many Of
whom are destitute and in abSo-
lutte want, and will have to be
aided more or less by the corpo-
rate authorities. The situation is
such, that some judgement with
care and investigation must be
exercised by the board or it will
create debt that it cannot carry.
Many will apply for help that
coulddoubtless help themsclyesi if
properly encouraged.
Many doubtless will,Task for
aid who could find work if they
had'the energy and.industry.
.@s The new board will at once
study the situation and endeaver
TO meet the cases as they arise.
The old board spent'nearly one
hundred and fifty dollars last
week for the poor of the town.
AMI though it is not ..probable
that the new board will venture
upon'such a'scale of expenditure,
yet therei is much work of the
needy before them.''rFors if the
first week in January
demanded such labor and dis
bursement, whatsmay we not fear
in the two months yet to come.
AS and TO the worthy is always
more appreciated and generally
goes further when arrangements
can be made for the recipient to
pay for it, 'thes'board might get
valuable work'done if in .instead
OF paying by the load for hauling
dirt and gravel mile and o quar-
ter ss.they Ycould ssprocure some
