started for her home the other day, and
crossing the st. Lawrence river at St.
Vincent, the custom officer desired to
look into her trunk. She offered no OBJ

had anything in the trunk besides wear

from the fair traveller. Her answer was
scarcely uttered, however, before the
officer had the trunk opened, and there,

rncnt Of the cipher dispatches sent by j. II: y
Patrick on the 9Sth OF November ito Col. VIII.
lam T. Peltor, that he was totally unaware OF
III containing proposition for the purchase Of
Republican Electors. IIe taTs Patrick came to
him and stated ho had prepared cipher tclc-
aram to the Secretary Of the National Demo
cratic Committee asking the latter to place $O-
00O to his credit for the purpose Of paying law
ycrs' fees and other necessary expenses con.
f1ecte With the anticipated litigation concerning
tho issuance of the Govornos's certificates. Fat
rick requested him to fndorsa this telegram
because he {keliY} Was known to the National

secure prompt action. Senator Rely saya he
could not, of courte, read the cipher, and Ac-
eepttng Patttck's statement Of III meaning, In
dossci It without hesitation upon the foregoing
INSURANCE As to tta contents. The Senator ats9
states that after Patrick tcft Oregon he tke1ly)
earnestly e.ldeayorrd to get money sent from
New York to pay the fees Of lawyers who mad
been retained, and d it did not come In time he
himself raised g 200 on Ills own notc, *3,00O ot

the lawyers, and the remaining 800 were de-
voted 10 paying the expenses Of bringing Las
