should not smoke while ut work, n:ti!ltly;
it reduCes the physical energy by the VERY
sense of relaxation which It impAsts; it
often causes the smoker to stop Ws'fk al

MIR. WHEELER AND THE RETURN
:" ING BOARD LAW:


Vice President Wheeler, In sniltlen
access of what passes amons his admir-
ers for righteous ldisnatiBii: HAS though,
fit to dGhouitS the pfUstcution of th+
Returning odaeers as "gfo.s outrnge on
Justice" Siitl an expression, coming
from i. man occupying Vice President
tN heeler's position, appears to be "a
gross outrage on decency,' aud 1t will he
so regarded by the reputable public opin-
10, Of the country. What seems to ag
.,ravate the affair in Mr.. Whcelers view,
is tMs Inference which susEests itself to
him; that certain of the q visiting stdtes-
men' :irc morally as guilty ds The R6tt,fn-
ing bfficers. "Why," he cxclaimcd to tile
ingenious interviewer, they would con-
vict John Sherman if they caught him
down there, OF Gen. Garfield from
which it seems that, in the opinion Of Mr.
Wheeler, John Sherman aud Gen Gar
field must have had something to do with
the f:.Isifying Of the Louisiana. election
returns. Whether or not they did any
thing indictable can only he conjectdrEt':
But if they did, and the proof could he
obtained, it is highly probable that they
would be c1nvicted if they could be
brought to trial. Nor would the Ameri-
eau people regard such q result as ga
gross outrage on justice" but, on the
contrary, quite the reverse = ar. rssa.
When Mr.. Wheeler was in New Or
leans during the winter Of 1574-75 trying
to arrange what was afterwards KIN VII
as the "Wheeler Adiustment," he lie
nounced the Returning Board law as g ali
outrage OH Justice" and declared that
the people of the State of New York
would not submit f r single day to
such an agency of fraud and oppression.
He went SO far as to recommend Mr.. kel;
logg. then acting Governor, to urge its
repeal. and the substitution for it of an
election law similar to that of New York
er Massachusetts. 1t was only by gain
ing Mr.. Kelloggs consent to this condi-
tion that the success TT THE adjustment
schcme was assured.
The condition was not included am0r 9
the written terms because MIR. Kellogg
feared that it would rcpel the support ot
the Republican caucus:. but he pledged
himself to give all his influence to carry
it ut the next session of the Legislature,
of course he did not fulfil the pledg -
possibly he could not-but it had been
given, all the same, ut ths solicitation of
the gentleman who now seems to regard
the Returning B6afa law as a very prop
CT piece of legislation. One would be
tempted to suppose that this UilAnse of
opinion was wrought in him when that
law became an efficient agency in eleva-
ting him to the Vice Prcsidency:-N. o.

THE TREASURY fNVESTlGATION.
iMAtkSsE SCMs OF MONEY STOLEN FROM
THE TREASURY DURING THE WAR.

(CincihhAti Enquier.]
WAsH1NGToN, March 1l.-Scnator Da-
Wis, Of West Virginia, chairman of the
Senate committee to Investigate the
charges preferred against him last year
that there are enormous discrepancies III
the treasu Y looks, assured yonr cores
poldent to-day that the Investigation
had already progressed far Enough to
prove that his charges wcIo more than

ditio,lal bit OF light shows that there are
greater discrepancies than were c"arScd.
OF the system of investigation he sa'd :
I'VE arc examining carefully every

If. ~ certainly will be the case, tho

and that lie made it in aSt"rdance with

IN answui to question ;ts t6 his opinion

But taken as a whole the result is
not surprising. Mr.. Donrelly has laid
the foundation for a successful canvass.
He will now appear before different
tribunal, and as that tribunal can not
only pass upon the questions raised
yesterday, but also upon the bribery,
corruption and intimidation of the
campaign, be can present case which
will oust Mr.. Washburn from his pur>
chased seat. The contest is one which
merits the support Of every honest and
patriotic citizen. It is not fight for
any individual, but for the integrity
aud purity of the ballot~box. In this
connection we~would again renew the
request for information on the: subject
ofbr;bery, indaidation, illegal voting,
etc. 4 large amount has already been
placed within reach, but more will be
serviceable. The Testimony should be
made crushing and overwhelming.
With all the light obtained up to
this tinn, the Globe renexs the re-
mark that Mr.. Washburn will not be
allowed to hold his purchased seat.

The Catholic Church.

From the st. Paul Globe.
Along with resumption on the LIST
Of January a most Important change
in the Catholic church's governmest
in America will take place. Up to
this time the Uaited States has been
missionary station, as it were.
After January lst, according to the
Pope's brief just received by Arch~
bishop Wood, We will be substantially
on footing with the hierarchy in Eu-
ropean countries where the Catholic
religion has Aourlshed for hundreds of
years. The archbishop of Philadel-
phia, as we'll as all the other bishops
and Wears apostolic in this country,
has received from the pope a brief In
which the particulars of the new sys-
tenn are set forth. Archbishop Wood
says to-day, through his secretary,
Father Brennan, that as soon as pos>'
sible. circular embodying the brief
will be mailed to every priest in the
archdiocese. In the meantime the
archbishop informs his clergy that
in accordance with the Pope's instruc>
ton, Eve priests were to-day selected
as judices cadarum Gudges Of causes).
The brief begins by referring to certain
provisions made by the provincial
couucil of Baltimore, held in 1866,
for the adjustment Of questions which
might grow out of the peculiar condi-
tion of the church 10 the United States.
Some Of these provisions, however, it
has been found impractlcable or un~
desirable to carry out, owing to the
unexpectedly rapid growth Of Catholi-
cism, which has now necessltatcd the
adoption Of a system approaching in
many respects the government of the
church in countries where the canon
law has long been in full force. The
church in the United States has been
on a missionary basis, which renders
necessary more summary course of
procedure than that which exists
in countries where almost the
entire population is Catholic. The
brief ordains that under the new
system pastors of parishes shall
be known as rectors, with most
Of the cAnonical rights now belonging
to parish priests in ireland and head
priests in England and Scotland. All
disputes between priest and bishop
shall be settled by the court of causes.
probably the most important case IN
this country between bishop and his
unlrocked priest was the celebrated
suit of Father Stack against Bishop
O'Hara, for having summarily removed
him from the pastorate of church
and forbidden the Office Of any pries''y
function, even to say mass. The evil
dence Of Archbishop Wood was to the
effect that the charge over which Faith.
er Stack presided was rot Il parish Ca
nonica1'y ejectcd, and the testimony
of DR.. Corcoran showed that ther
VAS NJ such parish in the United
States, except in ,ae ecclesiastical Prov
ince Of New Orleans, which was un~
der vanonical rule because Louisiana
was Catholic country prior to its &C.
QUESTION by the United States. Had
canon law been in force here Bishop
O'Hara could not have removed Faith
er Stack without the consent of the
court Of causes.

COntesting Washburn's Seat.

From the St. Paul Globe, Nov. 26.
Yesterday being the last day all
lowed by law for making the official
canvass of the Congressional vote, the
Minnesota Returning Board met at
the Secretary Of States Office to de-
clare the result. Mr.. Donnelly ap-
peared with counsel to make his pro-
tests against the votes of certain coun>
ties; not, Of course, with the expec>
tation that any sense of fairness or
justice would animate the canvassing
board, bat that he might prcseroe all
his rights for the othe: and more just
tribunal. Louisiana, Florida, ct al,
must now take back seat in order to
make way for Minnesota. They went
through little formality in accept
ing bogus returns and endeavored, ION
the face Of the votes," to make their
count appear correct. The Minnesota
Returning Board mas no such squeam>
ishness It declares the rcturns to be
correct whether or no, and with no
consultation whatever, the Governor
announces that they have declined to
entertain the protests. AS a matter
of form the Board listened TO the able
and convincing speech Of Hon. John
NJ. Gilman, one Of The counsel for Mr..
Donnelly. But it Was like preaching
to the idle wind. They had assembled
to give all the odds to Washburn. and
they adhered to the programme with
the utmost fidelity.
Mr.. Gilman explained in his very
fore BILE argument that he knew the
board had no judscial power to consider
evidence and determine whether votes
were legal or illegal, but they had the
power 20 determine whether certain
localities are eatitled to send a return
or not. This was all the power they
we're required to exercise yesterday.
and Judging from their decision. they
would have accepted returns from any
point from the British possessions to
the. Gulf Of Mexico, provided they
gave minority to Washburn.
There was reason to expect, even
from partisan board, different de-
cision in regard to the supplemental
returns from Hennepiu. In the DEM
ocratic County of Stearos, where Mr..
Donnel,y lost two or three hundred
votes, the county canvassing board de-
clined to make any supplemental re>
turns, taking the ground that they
could not go behind the face Of the re-
turns. In the Republican county Of
Hennepin the canvassing board accept
returns entirely independent Of the
official record and reporting them to
the State board as supplemental; re>
turn, they are promptly received and
counted, because they swell Wash
a@&}& Fsa7k* -
burns majority some seven hundred.
Any individual could have as well and
|as legally sent IN a return Of votes. Z
BY this process the board make
Washburn's majority 3,013, while, az
! matter Of fact, If the State board
