Chose Cipher Dispatch.

Washington, November 27.-There is at
last definite plan agreed upon about the
investigation Of the cipherdispatches. Two
weeks ago. Singleton, of Mississippi, came
to this city and had consultation with
Springer. of Illinois. for the purpose Of
dcvising some plan for preventing the Re
publicans from making any more capital
out of the cipher dispatches. 1t is thought
by the Bourbons that they must not be
backward and allow the Republicans to
offer a resolution upon the subject. Cor
respondence was hat with Garrison n.
Potter upon the subject, and a day or two
ago Springer went to New York for the
purpose of consulting with him and other
prominent Bourbons. The result of this
conference is known here. Springer is
charged with resolution asking that an
investigation be ordered into these matters,
as charged in Republican newspapers, and
that Whitefaw Reid will be summoned as
the first witness to tell how and where he
obtained the dispatches that he has pub
lished. The resolution is to be offered on
the first day it can properly come before
Congress. 1t is arranged in such way that
there can be no opposition. Rsndall has
been notified, and he will of course recog-
nze the Democrats first. It is said that

longer any question about the richness and
extent OF the collaborating gravel on the
river, or the possibility of saving the fine
gold, which is remarkably evenly distri:,-
