WASHINGTON. December % 1873.

The opinion of the First Comptroller of the
Treasury as to the use of 900 for the
Blaine Committee has finally been overruled,
Acting Attorney General Phillips deciding
that under a fair construction of the law the
Senate can use the appropriation for any in
vestigation whatever. The BlaineTeller in
vestigation will Immediately proceed. and
subcommittee will either be sent to South
Carolina and Louisiana, or prominent
witnesses will be summoned here. Some
members of the committee are not inclined to
favor bringing witnesses here. as there would
be no danger of intimidation of Witnesses
here, but it is probable that the sub-commit-
tee consisting of Messrs Teller. Cameron.
Krkwood. Bailey and Garland will immed-
lately go to New Orleans and visit the par
ishes where there was violence. This sub
committee will return in few days after the
reasscmbing of Congress. Senator Teller
saws that he proposes tn make a complete and
thorough investigation. No plans hav" been
made with regard to South Carolina or Mass
achusetts.
\ DANGEROUS LOCALITY.
A dispatch from New Orleans says there is
some anxiety there AS to the fate of District
Attorney Leonard. who has gone to Caddo
parish. Leonard is now charged with the
prosecution of election cases there. There
is a bitter feeling against him in Caddo parish
among the democrats as he is charged with
being the cause of all their troubles.
Leonard is native of that parish, served un-
der the confederate flag and was a white lin
err, but is now an enthusiastic republican.
The ONO CAMPAIGN.
The Ohio democrats say there is no longer
any doubt but that the movement to force
Senator Thurman to accept the democratic
nomination for governor in Ohio will succeed.
The very men who a year ago were bitter
against Thurman are now clamorous for his
nomination, and it is current talk among Ohio
democratic politicians that have not expert
enced change of heart but believe the most
effcctual way of killing Thurman rs a Prc>i-
dental candidate is to run him for governor
and let him be beaten. Well informed dem
ocrats here say, while the grecnback leaders
in Ohio profess great admiration for Thurman
they will force him to accept the nomination
for governor, and then that he is slaugh-
tered at the polls on election day.

Theological students reason that if there be
counterfeit money, there must be genuine; so,
if there be infidcls, there must also be
christians. If this be true of money and re-
ligion, will not the same rule apply to ''put
up" medicine. Do not the cheap and worth
less nostrums prove that there are genuine
and ''put up medicines? The great popu-
larity of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry has resulted in the manufacture of many
shoddy alternative and tonic remedies, but one
after another these have disappeared, the pro-
pretors having found that, no matter how
loud they advertise success depends upon

saltwater and Hudson, reaching into

to Ellsworth, this route, and the

Wing, in it's readiness to bond in be-
