Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.--Senator Wallace
has just paid flying visit to Washington to
make ready for summer work in looking
after Johnny Davenport. He says it is the
intention of the committee to overhaul Mr..
Davenport and his past conduct in connec-
ton with elections thoroughly and COM
pletely. Several committees have investi-
gated Davenport, and though each of them
discovered fraud and rascality committed, a
great deal has been undiscovered. Senator
Wallace says he has the names of tho men
who were appointed supervisors and deputy
marshals by Davenport at the last election,
together with their residences, and he in
tends to investigate their characters and
records. He thinks that enough is
already known to warrant the
statement that Davenport's hirelings will be
proven to belong 10 the worst criminal class
Gs in New York These men were employed
because Of their bad character and their will
lingness 10 commit any act required of them.
Crimes against the citizens and against the
laws were contemplated and criminals were
employed to execute them.
GEN. HAZEN
has written long letter to the war depart
promulgating the proceedings of the Stanley
court martial, taking the ground that the
reflections contained in said order were I'M
just and uncalled for, as he had not been I'M
der trial. In concluding the letter Gen.
Hazen requested al investigation into his
conduct, etc., at the several engagements
mentioned in the Stanley trial. The request
has been referred to Gen. Sherman, and
Hazen, who is now in Ohio, has been order
ed to join his regiment in Dakota.
SECRETARY soHURz
will so into Ohio and deliver four addresses
in the interest of the Hon. Chas. Foster.
The points to be visited are Toledo, Cleve-
land, GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati. Secretaries
Thompson and Sherman will also take part
in the campaign in that State. Secretary
Sherman says in the coming presidential
campaign tho Republican party must stand
together, reunited, upon the platform of
maintenance of the public faith, honest
money, equal rights before the law, protec.
ton to all citizens in the exercise of the
franchises guaranteed by the cons titut on,
burying all differences of faction on the
grave of common veal. If such union
and concentration of sentiment fails
tho Republican party would be dis
persod like chatf before the winds. The
secretary expresses his willingness to be
made tho nominee of the party, but says if
he can't get tho prize he so much covets he
will get into the boat and pull an car with
the other workers. The great need of tho
party, however, is union and harmony
amongst the disagreeing clements.
The deserted capitol building as we'll as
