Nc natOr voorhees, announces his
Intention Of Introducing u BilI to
max e the Trade Dollar Legal Ten

CNciSSArr, Nov. Ex-senator Voor-
hers, in an interview which will be
published tomorrow, states that one OF
his first acts upon the reassembling of
Congress will be a movement to make
the trade dollar legal tender. "That, "
said he, "will add at once something
over $20, 900, 900 to the circulation. 1t
is a swindle as it now is--a low, mean
swindle. Here they have been paying
these things out at a dollar till they
got them in the peoples hands; then
they shut down suddenly and cut the
holders 10 per cent "
He was asked II the proposed act
would not simply consumate the swindle
by giving the brokers, in whose hands
most OF the trade dollars are, the benefit
Of the rise. "Oh, no." said he; "they
are mostly in the hands of the people,
but, whether they are OF not, it simply
won't do to have two kinds of dollars
out, both bearing the stamp of the Gov
ernment, but one legal tender, and
the other worth 10 cents less in law and
containing more silver in fact. 1t is
ridiculous; it brings the Government
into contempt, and swindles the un-
wary" When asked if he would pro-
vide that for every new silver. dollar a
greenback dollar should, be retired, he
replied:
"By no means. Rather that a new
one shall be issued. There never was
truer thing than Gov. William Allen
said about specie payment. Its is a
barren ideality, indeed. We never
had it, and wont have it after January.
There will be a juggle between the
banks and the Government, and the
most of those who want gold won't get
it, or if they do, and insist on it, specie
payment will stop again very sudden
ly. Further conversation with the
Senator and with other prominent Dem
ocrats of Indiana revealed the fact that
the next financial fight in that State
will be for the free and unli mited coin
age of silver.

The police station last evening wa

Al seven o'clock the Mayor ordered
George Hagany and Thomas Garragh,
to be brought in. Upon the indictment

George Hagany and Thomas Cara
ghy were brought out and tes:ifiedthat
Carroll knew nothing Of their actions,
that he never concealed any goods

John Freye testified that he was bar

Monday night at 1920, and did not go

that on the night in question,it would

Mr.. Turner began his argument for

| The uncertainty which hangs arount
the pardon which tie Congressman
elect from Delaware received from Pres
dent johnson. has induced Jchn @
Jackson, the Greenback candidate, anG
tae one who received the next highes1
number Of votes, to investigate the mat
Ter, and II Col. Martin has really moi
been pardopsd, To apply for his seal
IN Congress ~ the legally elected
Congressman from the State Of Della
ware. 1t is argued by Mr.. Jackson's
friends that II Col. Martin had been
pardoned he would have produced the
the documents before this time, and set
the matter at once and forever at rest.
OF his having made application for 4
pardon there can bs9no doubt.
The letter published In the RKpUpLl-
CAN Of Tuesday last written by C. P.
Johnson, then U. 8. Marshal and dated
Oct. 9th, 1866 10 Col. Martin, informing
him that the papers for his pardon hal
been received, fully prove this, but
~ far as investigation has been made
there is no evidence found that the
pardon was ever granted. The reticence
Of Mr.. Johnson, editor OF the Gazette,
upon the subject, Is taken a. evidence
that no pardon was ever granted. II
there was, it is argued that not only he
but Col. Martin himself would bs anx.
ious 70 make the fact known and settle
the dispute II the pardon can be
produced, Notwithstanding that 1t has
not been recorded upon the dockets Of
the court in which the conviction tosk
place, Mr.. Jackson will not push his
claims for the seat, but unless II Is
produced he will be found knocking at
the doors Of Congress for admission.
Under the circumstances set forth,
Mr.. Jackson has a good chance for ad-
mission as the Greenback party with
which he is affiliated, will hold the
balance of power, and the Re-
publicans in Congress it il suppos-
ed would favor his admission, ssas
he is = strong Republican In every
thing except on the financial ques-
ton, and on that he stands with Judge
Kelley, recognized Republican. But
he does not base his admission to Con.
gress on mere party vote, but as an
abstract right. t -
II Col. Martin is ineligible all the
votes east for him are Illegally cast, and
can count for nobody, and Mr.. Jackson
being the candidate receiving the high
est number OF votes legally cast, he
contends that there can be- no question
as to his right to the seat, no matter
what his political proclvities may be.
Should Mr.. Jackson get his seat in
Congress, 1t would crack the solid
South, and throw Delaware out of the
Democratic ranks if the next cleo
tion for President should 90 to the
House. We await developments. Let
us hear from Mr.. Johnson, ex-U. S.
Marshal.

THE BASIN CRACKs.
They Don't Amount tO Any Thing
Serious-Mr. Hare's Experiments
He Thinks the Pudding Of the
south Basin Failure.

The cracks in the lining Of the sonl
compartment of the new basin, whic
caused so much of a scare at first al
found not TO be serious and are accOuI
ted for on purely natural causes. Nj
McCloskey the gentleman who laid tn
lining in cement has been making
minute and critical examination of eve
ry crack, and finds them all to be tn
result of the settling Of the new part
OF the embankments, and the puddle
ditch along the Tenth street side of tn
basin. In several places he has Gu
through the lining but found the cla
beneath all intact, not having bee
even penetrated by tho water. He ha
run cement into all the cracks as
proper precaution against any damag
which might be apprehended, but h
thinks that II even he had not done SO
there would have been no danger O
leakage as the cracks would soon hav,
filled up with sediment and become a.
secure as any other part Of the basin.
The increase Of water from the drain
pipes prove now to have not been caused
by any leakage, for the streams this
morning were stronger with an empty
basin than they had been before with
the basin full. Mr.. McCloskey, will CON-
plste his examinations and repairs to.
day, and to, morrow morning he thinks
the water can be let in, and when it is
full the northern basin will be emptied
and also subject to critical examina-
ton.
Nearly all admit that the south
basin was not so we'll puddled as the
north basin as the weather was SO fav-
orable while finishing the first that the
work was rushed ahead without any
time being given for the settling of the
clay. The north basin it will be recol-
lected was finished during rainy
season when the workmen had to knock
oil every few days, which together with
the continuous soakings which the
clay received, combined to make a
very compact and solid job. This is
what is wanting in the south basin,
though it is confidently expected that
it will gradually settle and become as
solid and compact as the north basin.
There are those however who think
differently amongst whom is our
respected citizen William Hare, whose
life long experience as successful pot
ter, is entitled to much respect and
consideration. Mr.. Hare has a couple
of model miniature basins at Shultz s
cigar store, No. 3 East Fourth street,
made of the same clay with which the
basins are lineed. One of them he
made saturated with water after the
manner in which the north basin was
finished and the other was made dry
or partially wetted as the south
basin was finished. These ht
filed with water and tie Re
suit is that the one made
of the saturated clay is firm and com
pact, while the other has crumbieG
down into a shapeless mass of mud
Mr.. Hare argues from this that the
clay of the south basin is more or less
effected by capillary attraction, and
that it will be found that it will not
prove impervious to the water pres
sure, and that it will be affected in tn.
same manner as his model referred to

The Fever Award.
A good many doctors have laid down
their lives during this past yellow few
er season, but IT seems to have done a
good tuln for one Louisville physician,
DR.. Blackburn. That city, it appears,
was divided into two rival camps as to
the danger Of fever, and not only was
the judgment of DR.. Black burn sus-
tanned by the facts with regard to it in
the cases that were brought there, and
the few that originated in Louisville,
but his unwearied services throughout
other injection districts have brought
him into such prominence that there
is talk of making him Mayor of the
city. When the lightning strikes
in the South it usually hits
either "judge" or a "colonel" (who
has read law, but just now the local
needs Of Southern cities would seem
to be best remedied by having medical
