SCANDAL-MoRE OF IT.

The Badger State dosen't propose to
| be outdone in the scandal line, and
gets up a first-class case. the exact
location of the same being in the
Wisconsin Institution for the Educa-
ton of the Deaf and Dumb, situated
at Delevan. Some four years ago a
teacher in that school by the
name of Williams was charged
with improper intimacy with Miss
Bishop, a pupil therein. He was in
formed that his resignation would be
accepted, though he established his
innocence of the specific charge by
proving an alibi--in other words he
was "bounced. Williams was mad
he was, and vowed revenge. Since
that time he has been persevering in
his efforts to show that glance "be-
hind the scenes in that particular
charitable Institution would disclose
the fact that the Principal and Stew
ard, in conjunction with female teach
ers and pupils thereof, have been gull
ty of indiscretions which it would not
be proper for us to name in this arti-
Gle. He at last gained the ear OF the
State Board of Charities and Reform
and an investigation was ordered,
which is in progress at this writing.
Though Delevan is ''all torn up SO to
speak, we understand that the deni-
zens of that coy hamlet are full of
sympathy for the accused, believing
that everything is all correct about
that establishment.

MCLIN'S CONFESSION.

1t has been said that confession is
good for the SOUL" and upon this adj
age McLin, of the Florida Returning
Board, has doubtless been acting. His
confession was heralded previous to it's
delivery as something that would
create establishment and wonder in
consequence of which a sensation IN
political circles was expected upon its
publication to a sin-stricken world.
But it turns out that the force or this
document was greatly overestimated
by Republicans and Democrats alike.
The substance of the confession is
that McLin, its author, was an active
Republican partisan, a member OF the
Florida Returning Board, and that
while acting as such he gave Repub-
licans the benefit of every doubt.
ssOnly that and nothing more So
mild confession as this fell like a
wet blanket upon Tilden's friends who
confidently expected a ''bill of partlc-
ulars'' as to just how the electoral
vote of Florida was fraudulently OBJ
tanned for Hayes. It is said that
McLin wanted a federal Office and
couldn't get it, and that he has been tam
pered with by some of Tilden's friends
who desire to ''go back of the elector-
al commission and some reckless
quill-driver ascribes the confession
to shese unnatural causes. but we in
sist that he is afflicted with the same
malady by which Elizabeth Tilton was
recently attacted-a quickening con,
science-in no other way can we &C
count for so astounding confession
