Commerce to-day, several hundred promi-

Gen. Grant responded, expressing his

Special to The LEAvENwoRTH TINES
ToPEKA, KANSAS, OCT. So p. M.-The
Ingalls, investigation was finally wound up
so far AZ Topeks is concernen this evening.
On melton of Senator Bailey the sub-com.
mittee adjourned until the converting OF
Congress next winter.
A large part of today's session was oc-
oupied in hearing the testimony Of James
Merritt. 1t w.s generally understood
that what this witness did not know about
the Ssntorial election was not worth know
ing. His testimony related largely to
ALLEGED CRooKEDSEss
in the case of Hosssck, McClintock, Ray
bill and others. HIS testimony was very
favorable 10 the Senator Ingalls, and alto
gether damaging TO the cause OF Stun
boush and Eggers.
Joe Wilson, Charley Miller and Senator
Buchan were csl.si to testify with re
gard to matters, lresdy in evidence.
There was
NOTHING IN THEIR DISCLOSURES
likely to materially afTsct the result one
way or the other.
Geo. T. Bevins arrived t.-lsy as a wit
ness for the memoriaIi5ts. As the commit
mitlee has ruled not to examine new
Witnesses at this time upon matters EkeIy
to call for rebutting testimony, objection
was made 10 the examination OF this witness.
The committee required Of the memorislists
q written statement of Whist they intended
to prove by Nr. Begins. According to the
statement which was referred by Mr.. Webb,
Bevins Was expected 10 swear that on one
certain DAY, asst previous TO taking the
final ballot, lie discovered through a
transom window Henderson, one of the
Leavenwor:h county members, slong in a
room IN the Tsfft House with Danford, and
and a large roll Of money in the
possession OF Henderson; that Henderson
soon after left that room and went to his
OWE room and locked the door. Shortly
after Bevius went to that room aui after
some detay, was admitted.
HESDERsON's MANNER
was excited and unusual. Bevins also
proposed TO testify to other circum-
stances going 10 show thst Henderson, in
the cour.e Of the canvas at the left
House, had been ,rsficking with
the Anthony party. The committee
after taking the statement under advise
ment, finally concluded not to have Bevins
sworn. on the ground that it would involve
a suspension OF the rules snI necessitate the
recalling Of Henderson, Gable, and perhaps
o'her witnesses for explanation and rebuff
lance, thus protracting the investigation
beyond the time set for adjournment. The
application for hearing of this witness
was opposed more particularly by Senator
Bailey, who stated the court did regard not

JERSEY DEMOCRATS SURPRISED.


TRENTON. Jan. 2S.-The nominations made
by Coy. Mcclellan for law and lay Judges have
caused good deal Of surprise and dissatisiac-
ton among Democrats. When tho rumor be-
came current that he was going TO nominate a
number Of Republicans a sclf-constitu,ed COM
mit,co Of Democratic Senators called on him
and were satisfied that such was not tho case.
So when the special message was received in
executive session on Monday night Il WIS
heard with surprise by the Democrats. II set
forth that the intent Of the constitutional
amendment was 10 take the appointment Of tho
Judiciary out of the joint caucus and give the
nominating power to tho Governor. in order
that the Judiciary might De removed from poll
tics and thus become non pnriisin There IL

Plain Questions to Democrats in Com
grcsS.


In n little moro than month from this
time the Forty-nfth Congress will expire
The Democrats Will then have had major
lty in the House Of Representatives for four
years. In the present House their majority
is small, but decisive. In tho lust House it
was more than sixty In tho senate Of the
present Congress the Republicans have had
q nominal majority Of only two, and ON
some questions none at all In the previous
Senate their majority was unstable, and il
never exceeded ton.
All appropriation bills originate in the
House, and every increase in the amount by
amendments IN the senate must hc con-
Cured in by the House or fail Hence at
the close of this Congress, tho Democrats
will have had a fair chance to exhibit to tho
country for four years their ideas OF re-
trenchment and economy in the expenditure
Of the public money.
The Democrats will have a working ma
jority in the Senate and House Of the next
Congress. DO they intend 10 so act through
the coming five weeks as to cause taxpayers
TO dread tho day when the Democratic party
shall bear sway in both wings " the Capitol
ut Washington!
Does the party intend to mako up such a
record in Congress on appropriations and
expenditures OF the peoples money that it
dare not ask them to regard 1t as n fore
runner Of what may be expected at its
hands when it assumes full control Of all
the avenues TO the treasury?
1t will be we'll for the Democrats in Con-
gress, and especially IN the House. 20 keep
this subject very much ia mind Tor the brief
remainder Of the session.
