while they are, in reality, the most insignii-
cant of all. But fourteen of the party were
chosen for Congress, and of this number
seven have already given in their adhesion
to the Democratic party, and will act with it
in all matters of partisan concern. But even
if the whole number should join with the op-
position the Democratic party would have a
clear working majority.
We are sorry to see this exhibition of as
sininity on the part of the Greenbackers.
We approve very many of the principles for
which they contended during the last cam
paign, and gave them such help and en-
couragement as was possible, Yet the lack
of discretion. they have displayed on several
occasions since the election, most particular
ly in the case under consideration, has had a
tendency to convince us that the interests of
the party have been committed to very
doubtful hands. The difference between the
Democratic and the Greenback party on
questions of finance is lmmaterial. Both
could workytogether to the same ends with
out conflict. But if the Greenback tail at
tempts to waggle the Democratic dog so i'm
periously, weshavesno doubt there will be a
protest SO emphatic as to put an end to the
Greenback party forever. Without Demo
cratic votes not single person of that po-
litical denomination could have been elected
to Congress-, and grain or two of modesty
would not ill-become them now.

GREENBICK DICTATORSHIP

Probably the checklist proposition of the
dec sde is the ultim atum of the Greenback
members elect to Congress, in which they
assume to dictate to the Democrats who
shall be chosen speaker of the House. They
give long list of men who would be &C
oeptable to them, from whom choice NAV
be made, but with the exception of Sunset
Cox they all without parliamentary ex-
perienoe, and would be but poor sticks in
the speakers chair. But the merits or de-
merits of their candidates have nothing to
do with the question. 1t is simply whether
an insignificant number of very insignificant
men can be permitted to dictate to ma
jority of the whole House of Representa-
tives. We must admit that the Democratic
party would be glad of the cooperation of
the Greenback members of Congress, and
will treat them and their claims with all the
respect which they deserve, but we do not
believe the Democratic majority will submit
to diotation from any source. :
The Greenback members of Congress seem
to have become imbued with an undue sense
Of their own Importance. To put it val-
carly, "they have got the big-head" very

The number of applications under the
pensions arrears act will, tomorrow, have
amounted to o:about thirty-six thousand, and
more will come in. This number is not
true indication of tho amount that the gov
ernment will be called on to pay, for many

Der of pensioners WHO would be legally ben
Gifted by the act at about forty-five to tifty

were based on official estimates, and does not
expect that either the number or amount will
go higher. All of the large number of ap-
plications which have been received and
which will be received hereafter will not be
allowed. One cause of the mistake of
large number of applicants is misunder-
standing of the true status of the case. A
large number of persons who were granted
pensions from the date of their disability
have since been granted increased pensions
and certificate given to that effect These
certificates date from the increase, not from
original pension. The pensioner looking at
his certificate and seeing that it is dated after
his disability, jumps at the conclusion that
he is entitled to back pension under the
new bill, and consequently applies for it.
There are large number of such cases.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Discovery of the Body of Murdered

DISCOVERY of the Body of a Murdered
Wonon in Detroit Rtver.
Detroit Special, March 1877
At an early hour this morning two long.
shotemen, while putting out in a row-boat
from the foot of Campau street, in the lower
part of the city, had their attention attracted
by large bundle which had become wedged
in the ice between the piles about 100 feet
from shore, and rowed out to see what it
might contain. Upon reaching it they were
horrified to find the head and feet of a wo-
man protruding from the bundle. Securing
the latter they towed it ashore, and an in
quest was held, when it became apparent that
the dead woman was the victim of foul play.
She was apparently about 80, with regular
and not unpleasing features, light-brown,
curly hair, four false upper teeth, with all
the molars on the right upper jaw missing,
about five feet three inches in height. The
body was found inclosed in large piece of
cloth, resembling coffee sack, tied up with
small-sized manila rope, which fastened the
arms to the sides, and the knees were bent
back to her chest and tied there, as if the
murderer had endeavored to make as
small bundle of the corpse as pos
sible. A handkerchief had also been stuffed
in the mouth. to serve the purpose of gag,
and everything pointed to the fact that a
brutal murder had been committed. DR..
Fettig was summoned from the hospital at
Fort Wayne, and stripped the body, but
found no outward marks of violence. A
careful examination showed that no bones
were broken, and, after the doctor had made
partial dissection of the abdomen he an
nounced that the victim was not enciente at
the time of death, although it was evident
she had borne several children. The BODY
was just beginning to decompose, and had
probably been in the water three or four
months. The clothing of the deceased con-
sisted of black silk dress, with large cloth
covered buttons, brown overskirt, with
white ivory buttons, black beaver sacque,
with bead fringe and silk facing, white cot
ton stockings, and cloth covered shoes No. 5,
laced on the ankle. A black leather pocket
book, found in the dress. containing $1.9O
in silver change, part of broken tooth
brush, a brass pawnbroker's check stamped
''watch,'' y silver thimble engraved with the
initials IN. w. two or three clippings
from newspaper, and small lead-pencil
There were no marks upon the clothing by
which deceased could be identified. The
body has been at the morgue all day, and al
though inspected by hundreds of persons,
has not yet been identified.

He Is Decidedly In Favor of the Political
Legislation, Before Congress.
Washington Special-I
Senator Bayard, who characterized the
placing of the repeal of the supervisors law
on appropriation bills as revolutionary,
has now come out strongly for the repeal of
all the laws insisted upon by the last House.
He is not very clear as to whether he will
favor them if attached to appropriation bills,
but he takes most decided grounds in favor
of sweeping away all the laws under consid
GRAFTON which guard the purity of the ballot
box. He says that he believes the Demo-
Gratis are to a man firmly united in respect
to the righteousness and the necessity of re-
pealing these laws. In regard to the uues-
ton of the President vetoing repeal, he saws:
II cannot believe that he would feel war
ranted in such action. There can be no con-
ceivable constitutional scruple alleged for re-
fusing his assent thereto, and there is
abundant and plain constitutional reason
why he should join in giving effect to meas
ures which both houses of Congress, truly
and confessedly representing the majority Of

THERE is now before both branches of
the Illinois legislature bill forbldding men,
under heavy penalty, from treating each
other in the public saloons. If this becomes
law and is enforced, it will do more for the
cause of temperance than all the prohibitory
liquor laws that could be devised or enacted.
Not one man in five thousand gets drunk be-
cause he enjoys it, They drink for socia-
bility's sake for the greater part, and thus
get into the habit of tippling. If treating
was abolished, liquor would be drunk only
when it was needed, except in rare instances,
and these would become scarcer with eve~y
procession to the graveyard. Such law
will be great hardship to many thousands
of Ohicago's most mole ed characters, who find
it convenient to be around promptly when
somebody else asks the bar-keeper to sset
'em up all around.' They will 60 into per-
petual mourning, but the majority of people
would hail such law as deliverance from
senseless, pernicious and expensive GUS

Biennial Sesstons.
IWabashaw Bulletin

It will take no longer than January, 1880,
to convince the people of Minnesota that
the enactment Of the biennial session law
was grand farce. An extra session next
winter can be reckoned almost certainty at
this early day. A more practical way of
economizing would have been to have re-
duced the length of sessions to forty days.
It is notorious fact that our legislature
never acco.nplishes anything for the first
twenty days of the session, being principally
occupied in junketing and relieving itself Of
the gasses that accrue therefrom. A busi-
ness session of forty days is plenty long
enough, besides making handsome show
ing in the economy line. Mark our prelic-
tions the biennial session business will
prove thorough dead letter, and we wish to
go on record in prophesying the same.

Washington Special March l3) to the Chicago
Tribune].
Ine democrats who are seeking office un-
der the sergeant-at- arms and secretary of
the Senate are now trying to make it appear
that the standing order of the Senate pro-
hlbltlng removal except upon the written ap-
proval of the Vice President, has only been
enforced In exceptional cases, and where
reasons for the change were not sound but
further inquiry at the Senate shows that the
order mas been continuously observed since
1t was passed in the old Democratic days,
Ihe fact is that the officers to whom it ap-
plies have been in the habit of reporting
every change they have desired to make to
the Vice Presidnet and none have been
made without his approval. It is also found
that, in addition to the cases heretofore
cited, there have been numerous instances
in which the Vice President has over
ruled the propositions for removal. An ex
animation of all the notices of removal on
the files shows that in every case the written
approval of the Vice-President has been
gwen, except in a few cases where the mat
ter has, by order of the Senate, been placed
under the committee on contingent ac-
counts.
There is one other feature of the matter
that interests applicants. Some of them
have been consoling themselves that, as the
Vice President has indicated his purpose to
be absent the early portion of the extra ses
sion, Senator Thurman, or whoever is elect
ed President pro tenn, will at once approve
the desired removals. Such, however, has
not been the practice, the ground taken in
regard to this point having been that such
course would not be in accordance with the
spirit of the law, or be courteous toward the
Vice-President. For these reasons, in the
absence of the latter officer, all cases in
volving removals have been held until his
return, to be- then laid before him.
Several Democratic Senators have made
known their opposition to the contemplated
plan of making an entire sweep of the Sen
ate employees on the ground given by the
Democratic committee that reported the rule,
that it was very important to the efficient
discharge of the Senate's business that a
trained body of employees should remain in
Its service. The only methods by which the
present crowd of candidates can obtain anv
of these offices is by the President pro tenn.

MINNESOTA SUPPLIED WITH SEE1
WHEAT.

MINNESOTA SUPPLIED WITH SEED
WHEAT.
The value of the special kilograms IRE
ceived by due course of maiD published in
Bill Kings paper, was very strikingly illus
trated by the Sunday morning issue, in
which appeared a telegram from Chicago,
purporting to give summary of the con-
dition of the growing winter wheat and the
prospects of the spring seeding, covering
the wheat growing region of the West and
Northwest, and in which appears this SEN
tence: --..
From Milwaukee comes a question to
whether the crop from blighted seed can be
expected to be good. With view to avoiding
any risk that score the Millers' association
of Minnesota is preparing to aid in obtaining
hrst-class seed, and has already secured large
quantity for distribution to the farmers of the
State at cost price in Iowa. There seems to be
little apprehension as to seed wheat; and it is
reported that by screening sufficient supply
Of good seed grain can be obtained.
A more false and Gbellous statement upon
Minnesota than the above was never pub
lished, but as it was special telegram (by
maiD, and as it favorably mentioned the Mil
ler's association, it was given publicity to un-
der flaming headline, and printed in large
type, so as to give the slander all the promi-
nence possible. The facts are that while
much of the wheat raised in the middle,
eastern, southern and southeastern portions
of the State last year was blighted by the ex-
treme heat prevailing just at the time the
berry was approaching maturity, a large
proportion of that grown in the northwest,
along the lines of the St. Paul &
Pacific and Northern Pacific railroads, was
of the grade known as Minnesota No. l
hard, selling in the great grain markets of
the country, at from three to seven cents
more per bushel than the No. spring wheat
of other localities. This Minnesota No. 1
hard wheat has been sold to our farmers in
the blighted districts of the State in large
quantities for seed. Not only that, but
several Thousand bushels have been sold into
Iowa-from which State the lying (by maiD
special says the Millers' Association. are
drawing seed for our farmers-and even into
Illinois along the line of the Chicago &
Rock Island railroad, especially for seed,
while there is to-day in the St. Paul elevator
100000 bushels of the same quality of grain,
all of which can be had for seeding pur-
poses, if needed, at reasonable figures.
