!. An Unsuccessful Attempt to lmpcact His
Testimony.
Fields Committee VIII Have All OF Its
Testimony Ready for the Tribunal
Monday.
Especial to n. Q. Democrat. |

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The attempt to
impcach Maddox to-day failed utterly
The attempt was made to connect him
disreputably with IA transaction in the
stock OF the Parkersburg branch OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. and this
was met by'a letter from Vice President
Keyser OF that road, fully generating
Maddox from blame in the matter.
The main witness against Maddox
was man named Ditty, an ex-Confed-
crate from Baltimore, but now Rad
ical, and before Field got through with
him he made him admit that he was
brought over here to testify under prom
ise of an office IL Hayes were counted
in. Tomorrow Maddox will begin the
substantia,iou OF his testimony, aud
then there will be fun.
Fields committee will make an effort
30 get in all OF its testimony by Monday
next, SO as to have the entire case ready
for presentation to the Tribunal in the
event Of that body determining to take
outside testimony.

WASHINGTON, Feb. o.--The situation is
quiet. but prospect of developments,
both in the Louisiana case and from
the Tribunal, during the afternoon.
The most important news can give
you is that the members Of the tribunal.
or at least u majority of them, do not re-
gard the rule as to admission OF evil
dence In the Florida case q general rulo
governing all cases which may be SUBJ
mitted.
Judge Miller says the understanding
In the Tribunal is that each case shall
be considered and ruled upon its
It's merits, independently Of the
other cases, and that the method
OF procedure will be made to
conform to the legal exigencies of each
separate case. Judge Miller did not
specify further, but L interpreted what
he said to mean that the Tri-
bunal would not rule to exclude
rew testimony in the Louisiana case,
IN on the presentation of that case by
counsel 1t should appear to the tribunal
that the validity OF the certificates
could not be properly tested without
such testimony. BUELL..

intended to apply to Louisiana. and
that when that State Is reached the
Tribunal will accept testimony touch

The Democrats on the Tribunal are

Hayes.
Cavanac to-day testified squarely con-
cerning the return postmarked Novem-
Der Is, which was inclosed in an en-
velope with an affidavit dated the 25th,
which Discrepancy Stoughton called IA
clerical error. He testified that he saw
the envelope opened, and detailed the
manner In which the affidavit was
smuggled In.
1t is reported that Levisee admits
that he was ineligible. Altogether the
outlook is Frightening. BUELL..

T0n Bright, Too bsausffu tn Inst In So
cietyI
New York Letter.1
Come we now to the poets. Their
eyes are not In fine frenzy rolling, but
one OF them Is certainly unique. His
name is Joaquin Miller. Since last +
gazed upon that child of nature he has
let his hair grow, and it now falls on
his shoulders In mass that resembles
molasses candy ere yet it has been
thoroughly pulled. He wears with this
tawny chevalure necktie that is of the
color OF the lilac blossoms, to conform
to poetical parlanee, and a jewel, as
bright as that dazzling gem which the
miners Of the far West would term his
''intelleck, sparkles on the mauve sur
face. TO speak as the scribes, and not
as one having authority Of close per-
sonal communion, should not hesitate
to pronounce Joaquin too bright, too
beautiful, to last in the good opinion Of
society. 1t is d law of social inter-
course that the general good should be
held against individual glorification.
Hence these tears over the Songster Of
the Sierras.

Oss:ef Discovered.
A new and destructive enemy Of the
oyster has been discovered. The Pitts
burg Telegraph says: Col. Fricker was
startled by cry from one Of his men
engaged in opening oysters. and has
teniEg TO him he saw him holding a
large open oyster shell at arm 8 length.
Inside Of the she'll was something more
animal than flshy looking. The oyster
man was about to throw 1t from him,
when the Colonel caught his hand, and
the strange creature, which measured
about two inches in length, was turned
from the she'll into a saucerful OF alco-
hol. The animal very much resembles
what Is commonly called water dog,
except that it has no feet. The head
resembles that Of q catfish, with large
mouth full OF fine teeth. Just back OF
its head are two large lobes, which give
1t little the appearance OF small
bulldog.
The animal, whateyeTit it may prove to
be, must have made its access to the
shell when small, destroying the oyster
1t found as the natural tenant, and grew
up to its present size within the shell.
A similar nondescript has lately been
found at Baltimore.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. CIT appears
certain that the arbitration commission
at Washington wilt soon be obliged to
consider the case OF an ineligible Hayes
elector from this State. On January ID,
1868, Geo. d. Chaffee, Of Shelbyville,
was appointed TO be Il United States
com missioner, one OF those Offices ''of
profit or trust under the United States"
which disqualify the holders from being
appointed Presidential electors. This
Office he has not resigned to this day.
He was nominated d candidate for
elector by the Republican State conven-
ton, and was voted for with the others
on that ticket. Gov. Beveridge proclaim
cd his election, and on December be
cast his vote in the electoral college
here for Hayes. 1t Is said by the
lawyers who have examined the case
that he was clearly disqualified, and
that Hayes will got only twenty votes
from Illinois. A full statement Of the
facts OF the case properly authenticated
has been made up and forwarded to
Washington and, 1t Is understood, will
be laid before the commission. Mr..
Chalfee is in the city to-day and has
held o secret consultation with some OF
the leaders Of the Republican party
here.

The New York Euentng Post estimates
that on the 1st inst. the United States
Treasury held only $500, ,225 In coin
available for resumption. The balance
Of coin in the treasury at the date OF
the last debt statement was $50, All. $50.
From this there should be deducted, ac-
cording to the Post, in order to ascer--
tain the available balance, as follows:
Coin certificates. $50 .3s ZOO

Deducting. this from the total coin
balance gives 81, ,00l ,255 available for re-
sumption, as above stated. It does not
appear how much Of this Is subsidiary
silver, which OF course would not be
available for the redemption OF green
backs. OF the coin certificates, rs per
cent represent coin deposited in the
treasury for convenience or safe keep
ing. The remaining Is per cent are
issued on the credit Of the government,
and are demand liabilities. It doesn't
look much as though the treasury would
be able to resume by the 1st OF March.
