CUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsnNGrox. u. c., Feb. l, 1870

and various diversions to avoid the
main point tho Potter investigators
have decided to send sub commit
tee to New York to hear what tho
coparceners have to say for them
selves. This comaittee is to consist
Of MacMahon, SJcugrr, Springer
EIescock and Cox. The first wit.
nesses to be called will be Pelton,
Marble, Smith, Weed, and then pos
sibly Tilden. The Republicans want.
ed to call these men to Washington,
but the Democrats would not con.
sent, and it is surmised that this was
decided on at Nj. Tiiden'S request.
However, the facts cannot be much
longer concealed, AMI if, as his
friends say, Mr.. Tiden will be able
to clear his skirts, several of his
neal est and dearest tr'en S will be
sacrificed, to the detriment of his
next Presidential campaign. The
conspicuous failure of the commit
toe after a weeks effort to involve
any Republicans in improper trans
actions is great disappointment to
the coparceners, who yearn for com
pany in their misery. Whatever
money tie Republicans expend ed
was for proper expenses of the Ca m.
paign, and w. h. Chandler and other
Republicans testified So clearly and
directly to this point that nobody
can doubt the fairness Of their case.
There is general feeling of re-
gret that the quarrel between Sena-
tor Conkling and the administration
still continues. The large part of
the Republicans sympathze with the
Senator, and feel that Messrs. Arthur
and Cornell were wronged by the
treatment Of Sec'y. Sherman, and
the Secretary has made grand mis-
take in the manner of conducting
this controversy. Nevertheless, if a
compromise could be reached in
some way, it would be more salts
factory Oh the whole than the victory
of either side. 1t is supposed that
the Democratic Senators side, almost
unanimously, with the President
against Senator ConklIhg. In fact,
they have habit of siding against
leading Republicans whenever an
opportunity offers.
The experts who went South to
inquire into the causes and means to
prevent the rayages of yellow fever,
report several recommendation to
the Congressional committee. In
accordance with this report doubtless
Congress will take action in favor of
trying the experiments upon Prof.
Gamgse's plan to freeze out the dis
ease by means Of relrIgerating yes
sells stationed at exposed points, to
establish national quarantine to
have general control os these and
other means OF presentation, and of
con ntnuing the scientific investiga-
tions. All appropriation of two or
three hundred thousand dollars now
may be the cause of saving many
millions and many thousands of lives.
An effort will be made to take this
subject up in tho Senate next week.
The river and harbor appropria-
tion bill will not bs ready FOR report
to the House for several days. This
report was expected to be ready sew.

not promise well for an early and

Products Of Convict Labor.

Some interesting facts IN relation to
labor have been prepared by Superin-
tendent Wright, OF the Massachusetts
Bureau of Labor statistics. According
20 this expert the number of convicts
in 1878 IN all the state prisons of the
Union Was 20 1877, Of whom IA, 1856 were
employed in mechanical industries.
The greatest number was IN New York
and the smallest III Rhode Island, very
naturally, the one being the largest ana
the other about the smallest state in the
Union. At the rate of forty cents per
day, which was the average, the wage
earnings 81 conycts for the whole year
amounted 10 81, 6Cs 5l5. At 81 per day,
which Is the average price OF similar
labor outside Of prison, these same men
would have earned IS, 122. $40, accord
ing to Mr.. Wright. The products of
PRISON labor, il we take the labor Of 81
per day, did not exceed $40 100000 in
1873, while the products Of all the me-
chanicaI industries Of the Cnited States
amounted to five Thousand millions.

Horrible Mystery Solved.

A Boston special of July 10th
saws: The mystery which has
40 long shrOuded the death OF
Jennie p. Clark. whose body was found
in trunk at Lynn, Is now said to be
solved. Late last night, those implica-
ted were arrested and lodged in the
Tombs The parties arrested were
Madame G. c. Goodrich, female ply
sIcian, at 81 Lagrange street, and who
is the alleged abortionist in the case:
DR.. Kimball, who lived in the same
house with that woman, and is charged
with being one Of the principal acces-
SORES; Alien n. Adams, of Highland,
at whose house Jennie last worked, and
two women, mother and daughter, liv-
ing in Scmerville, at whose house, in
the south part Of that town, Jennie
Clark is said to have died. The two
ladies, however, whose names are Just
now suppressed, for obvious reasons,
but who, in this narrative, will be refer
red to as Smith, are held principally AS
witnesses In the case. They have al
ways borne a good reputation in Somer-
vile, and are thought to have been

Share they took i'll the trans
action though their names
are Included III the complaint
against the parties arrested charging
completely in procuring an abortion
upon the body of Jennie Clark. They,
It appears, were nurses Of Jennie at a
house in Somervile. The facts of the
case, rs related by them and corrobora-
led by other testimony, are that on the
18th of February last, when Mr.. CIark'S
giri left her home IN Highland, she went
direct TO the house of Madame Good
rich, and there an abortion was per
fOImed, and that she remained few
DAYS, and on the 10Th Of February left
Boston for Somerville, going TO the
house of the Smiths. Shortly after her
arrival, she was delivered Of ioe.us,
and for while exhibited symptoms of
getting we'll; soon, however, her illness
took an unfavorable turn, and on the
10Th she died. DR.. Kimball ana the
madame had previously been notified
of the turn matters Were taking, and
the doctor went to Someryille, arriv-
ing there shortly after Jenpie'5 death
and assisting IN the packing of the
body, first, with a pair of dentists for
ceps, cutting off the nose OF the dead
girl. The body of Miss Clark was then
put into a trunk. and on the following
evening, Kimball carried it in q buggy
in the direction of Lynn; he was unable
to sink it, as he desired, as most of the
streams were frozen; but on reaching
Fox Hue bridge, on Saugus river, he put
itoyerboard through the rails. This Is
the substance of the story of the two
nurses of Jennie Clark, as told this fore
noon.
Many of the details are yet unknown,
and the principals refuse to dlvulge any
thing, claiming their entire innocence,
but their denial will be met by strong
evidence in the hands of the officers.
An indictment of AL the parties by the
grand jury, at its next session, Will proc
ably follow. Dr.. Joseph Slmonds, the
s0-called dentist, who owns the building
where the abortion was performed, was
also arrested. He is notorious as the
proprietor of several other dens of sim
liar character.
