The Rev. John Mandeline, of Brooklyn,

have been a hunaorist. In his confession to
the judge he wrote: 'After my first wife died

came acquainted with Mary E. Kustel, and
married her. Soon after my wife left me on
account of my religion. then went to New

came acquainted with an old widow, who
proposed marriage to me, and, after telling
her my circumstances as regards my wife who
is living, got married to her. She alsol # me.
I then went to Bradford, Conn, where made
the acquaintance of third woman to whom
I was married. She found out the
circumstances respecting my previous mar
riages, and. one morning upon returning
from work, found that she also had fled.

MAJOR HORACE B. STRAIT arrived in ST..
Paul from his Shakopee home yesterday fore
noon. Soon after his arrival the Major was
waited upon at the Merchants by w. D.
Washburn-who holds certificate of cleo
ton to the Forty-sixth Congress secured by
shameful corruption and intimidation of
voters-and Mr.. Loren Fletcher, Mr.. Wash
burns right hand man in the attempted
fraud upon the voters of this district. The
conference with Major Strait was of an
earnest character, and quite lengthy. The
GLOBE will not pretend to give the subject
matter o. the conference, but it ventures to
remark, and it's language is plain, that W. D.
is more than disguised with blatherskite
Blaine for inaugurating an investigation into
the recent Congressional elections. The
Democrats propose to make that investiga-
ton thorough, which makes it very bad for
Washburn. In view of which the GLOBE
once more desires to remark that Mr.. Wash
burn will never be allowed to retain his
traudulently obtained seat in Congress.

concerning the expediency of such change
as is proposed. It is not probable that the
question will be settled at this session.

TIE Potter committee Will Investigate the
cipher dispatches directly after the recess.
The matter has not been taken up hitherto
owing to the absence of Gen. Butler, who is
currently supposed to have given the New
York Tribune copies of the dispatches it
as published, and to have others in his pos
session that will shed still more light upon
the electoral squabble. This inquiry is per-
fectly proper, and ought to be prosecuted to
it's legitimate result, whoever may be com.
promised by the disclosures. Mr.. Tilden
will probably be called to testify, while Man
ton Marble will be asked to explain who

CG.t
Wonder in what shape the old sw ndling
bond proposition will come before the State
legislature this winter? It has been voted
down by the people SO often that the holders
OF the bogus bonds must begin to think that
the citizens Of Minnesota are not fools, and
cannot be induced to pay a debt that they do
not owe.-Preston Republican.
Now, we have a good deal of regard for
Brother Wall, and we are surprised that be
should play the demagogue SO. Such senti-
ments are unworthy of him. We think
there are very few candid, honest, intelligent
men in the State of Minnesota
who thoroughly understand this bond
business, but that will say that the
bonds cost the holders something, and that
something ought to be paid. The bonds are
not bogus; they we're regularly issued by the
State authorities, and the State acknowl-
edges to have received in exchange for them
large number of miles of graded road
bed throughout the State. Tt certainly seems
to US as though no honest man could favor
the entire reputation of this debt. There
as equity in the bonds, and that equity ought
to be adjusted by the legislature, and then
paid by the State.

IT is the opinion among Republican poll
ticians at Washingt IN that the Blaine COM
mittee will do nothing towards investigating
the alleged outrages save examine the re-
ports Of United States marshals and super
visors of elections that may be sent to the
capital. We trust the report is not true. It
is due to the Southern people, who have been
so grossly maligned, that all the facts bear
ing on the matter should be known, and the
guilty parties, If any there be, brought to
justice. If the charges are false-which we
are sure will prove to be- the case-the fact
should be made known, and the slanderers
of an honest people made to eat their words.

AN IOWA CAVE.
IN Indian Permits Home and Buyia

IN Indian Hermit's Home and Burial
Place.
The Wyoming Gowa) Journal gives the
particulars of a very interesting discovery
that has just been made in Jones county,
which we publish for the benefit of our
mound diggers. A Mr.. A. Barnhill, in Clay
township, has ledge of rocks on his farm,
in which he suspected there might be a lead
mine. A few weeks ago Mr.. Barnhill COM
nenced digging in the ground just in front
of this ledge of rocks, and where there
seems to be a depression in the face Of the
ledge, though large boulder, weighing prob
ably four tons, lay there. Around this Mr.
Is. dug, until he became quite thoroughly
convinced that this huge rock had been
placed there. AS it was well nigh impossible
to remove it, he concluded to blast it, and
thus remove it by piecemeal. This he did,
until he succeeded in removing it, when
there was disclosed a marked depression in
the face of the rocks, but entirely filled with
loose earth. Soon his shovel struck some
thing hard, he carefully removed the dirt
from about what he at first supposed some
impeachment, when there was exposed to his
view the entire skeleton of large Indian.
1t was somewhat decayed, though the skull
was sound, and remarkably large one. In
some places it was probably half an inch
thick. It is thought that the Indian at the
time of death was about As years of age. The
skeleton is now in the possession ct Dr.
Merryman, of Monticello. Mr.. b.
continued his digging until hs had
entered chamber about fifteen feet
long, five feet high, and ten feet wide At
the end of this distance he found that the
chamber made turn, and following it up he
soon cane into large room about twelve
feet wide. sixteen feet long and eight feet
high. After removing the dirt in this room,
Mr.. B. came to bed of ashes upon the bot
tom, and in this strata skeletons of various
wild animals were disclosed to his astonished
view in great profusion; finger rings made of
stone, and polished very smoothly; tusks of
animals not now natives of this country, the
species of which could not be determined,
and many other remarkable curiosities After
the dirt and ashes had been removed in this
room, hard stone floor was found, that is
described as being almost as smooth as fin
ished board floor. The rock on the sides of
the room was also quite smooth.
