ty-one members of the House were exam
ined, all of whom, with the exception OF
two, testified that they had no knOwl-
edge of corrupt means having been used

tative Sherwood, of York, swore that his
colleague, Bowman, had perjured him

given him to understand that he could
get $500 for voting for the bill. Mr..
Bowman was not called to testify, but
stated that his testimony was correct.
Representative Cassiday, of Carbon,
testified that Alexander Leisenring,
of Mauch Chunk, offered to divide
$1,000 with him and his colleague il
they voted for the bill and it passed, as
he expected to make 1000 out of it by
rise in Pennsylvania railroad stock.
Representative Foster, of Lehigh, said
that Clark, member from Phiadel-
phia, said he would make $500 by vot-
ing for the bill, and introduced him to
Chas. b. Salter, who promised him from
$500 toSl 900 for his vote, and took him
to W. II. Kemble, who offered him
81 900 cash if he supported the bill. He
refused all propositions. Clark emphati-
cally denied the truth of all these state
mentS.

The Police Jury and fiae Parrish
Printing.

We copy the following from our
esteemed contemporary, The Or
ange (Texas) Tribune:
The pulice Jury of Calcasieu So
iicittd bids last week for the pub
lie Ipninting faomthe ke.Oharles
Echo and the Calcasieu Gazette.
The Echo made Il bid for the work
ut specific sum per square. The
Gazette made an agreement to do
the printing for''ten per cent. less
than any other bid" and was,
upon this agreement, awarded the
work. III is not the purpose of the
Tribune to take partln the contro-
versies of its Lake Charles con-
tempnraries, for it esteems both OF
shem very highly; hut athis mat
ter it is evident that the police
jury has Committed palpahle err
ror, and established, fit could be
maintained, n damaging prece-
dent. The custom of letting ont
work by bids is largely practiced
bv the general as well as state
governments and corporations and
private individuals thronghnutthe
world. But If I'M agreement, sncb
as made by the GAZETTE in this
case. can he accepted as q bid the
custom must necessarily fall
through. 1t would often happen,
perhaps, that contractors making
sealed proposals for work would
each take advantage of this new
feature, and when the hour arriv-
ed for opening and inspecting the
bids the distre ssing fact would be
disclosed that none had ventured
to be specific, but all had agreed
10 perform the work at less figures
than any one else. Competent
and reliable men, who are capable
of closely estimating the probable
cost of an undertaking. would
soon cease to bid. The Echo
claims to have made the only bid
in this case, and II the matter is
taken before the court it will
doubtless he so adjndIcatea.

Tise State Debt and the Demo
cratic Party.

The n. o. Democrat, speaking
ot the settlement of the State debt,
saws:
1'he Legislature and Executive
elected 10y onr people, aud fnnatit
for hy onr people; the courts es-
tallished by onr people; the Dem
ocratic conventions held in the
State, have recognizea III" debt as
now funded. A fluid e hoard
composed of officers OF ou4 elected
government has funded II portion
of the debt. A large proportions
of the debt was created by our an
ceetors, before the war, aud before
many of us who are now takingan
active part in pablic affairs were
born. Scarcely a consol Is now 10
the hands of the men who bought
the bonds issuedIby Warmoth or
minded their claims under KEEL
ilogg. After the course pursued
by Gov. Nichols aud the I.egisla-
tnre Of 1877; after the decisions of
,our Supreme Court and the con-
tinuation of the fnnding process
lby our own government, millions
of this debt passed into the hands
of capitalists who believed it a
good and safe Investment; many
capitalists purchased the sconsals
ito aid aud strengthen the Nichols
government, and onr merchants,
bankers and insurance companies
bought them i'm good faith. and to
the amount Of six millions. Time
and the acquieseace ofttwo genera
tons of our OVID people forbid us
ito repuaiate the ante 4belIum debt,
because it would be lan act of sa-
crilege. The acts of ,enr own gov
eminent, Legislature, courts, press
aud people should deter us from
assailing and invaiidaiing the
bonds which our own people and
Eonr own friends abroad have pur-
chased on the faith of onr utter
ances, and relying upon our honor
and not upon Federal courts for
their payment.
