The Investigation.

The senatorial investigation business
occupied the attention of the Senate at
Topeka Friday. Thursday the House
had passed its resolutions authorizing
an investigation, defeating all PROPOSE
tons to make it the joint business of
both houses. The Senate then raised a
committee of its own, but becoming
disguised with the idea that il was be-
ing forced into the work by few sore
heads and Missouri rebel paper, it re-
considered its action the next day, leav-
ing the business Of smirching the State
to the House. The House resolution
reads as follows:
Whereas. II is charged that during
the progress of the late senatorial cleo
ton acts Of bribery and corruption were
resorfed to TO influence votes of men,
bers of this House for the use Of Sena-
tor: and
Whereas. Ii is also charged that offers
were made TO pay large sums Of money
for votes for Senator. and that in some
cases these corrupt offers were made By
members OF the Honse: and
Whereas. The honor of the State. the
integrity Of this House. and the charac-
ter of the Senate of the United States
demand that a full and impartial inves-
tigation should be had Of the facts and
circumstances connected with the afore-
said charges therefore
Resoired. That committee of five
members be appointed. whose duty 1T
shall be to investigate all charges of
bribery and corruption connected with
the late senatorial election. aad ali
charges Of corruption in Office made
against the recently elected senator. TO
the end that the innocent may be yind;-
Gated. and all acts of bribery punished.

papers and Indignation meeting have

proceedings may seem, nevertheless
they are in some degree eNcusablc. When
a Representative or Senator knows what
the will of his people is touching any
matter he should, in bis vote and work,
faithfully reflect that will. and when for
selfish ends. or promise OF place or
emolumeni. he fails to do so, he can
complain if swif, punishment follows.
A large majority Of the Republicans of
the State were pronounced in their de-
termination that Mr.. ingalls, should be
reelected. and he having clear major
ity of the Republican members in his
favor. his defeat or the election of any
other. however unobjeciionable, would
have resulted in a party revolution IN

ter wiped ont ofpolitical existence eve

majority rule would have prevented ali
such disagreeable possibilities, as also
saved the men who ara now suffering

Sedwick county fasners owning har-
vesten and wire binders allowed those

grain from the use Of the headers would

And again he says, the largest wheat

Now, with all due respect for NJ. RID.

duce such statement from any prscti-

Of the United States. On the contrary
ever since the headers were first intro
