tingent Fund, and comparative state
ment of its expenditure under the Re-

THERE are rumors that Hon. John
Sherman himself is to be indicted for
completely with the Returning Board
frauds. AS bipartisan paper as
the New Orleans Presbyterian says that
the prevailing sentiment among the
well informed is, that John Sherman
would have but little reason to rejoice
over the result of such an investigation,
if an impartial investigation could be
obtained. On the other hand Sherman
says he is not afraid of being caught
that his worst enemies never accused
him of being fool. Nevertheless,
knaves are often times found out; and
Sherman played bold part in the Re-
turning Board game.

nnexed table shows the vote by States

Of lightweight votes given against
the resolution, ffty-seven were from New
England and the Middle States. The
Western and Southern States, except
Ohio, voted almost solidly for the reso-
luton. From the foregoing 1t would
seem that the silver question is not the
only one upon which the South and West
can shake hands.
