1IO0,OOo for Republican Campaign
Purposes.
WASHINGTON, March %.
The Senate committee inquiring into the
alleged frauds in the late elections, Senator
Wallace, Chairman, to-day examined Geo.
G. Gorham, late Secretary Of the Senate.
He said that during the Congressional
campaign of 1878 about $106, 900 was raised
for Republican campaign purposes, of
which 500, 900 came FROM Federal officers
and employees, by voluntary contribution,
and the remainder from friends OF the
party not holding office. Perhaps seven
or eight thousand came from Congressman.
No contributions were asked from the Ma
tional banks, as such q canvass among the
wealthy friends Of the cause in New York
City resulted in obtaining about $4,000.
There may have been some bankers con-
tributing. Some of the lady employees of
the Government insisted on contributing.
OF the $106, 900, about $25 600 was ex-
pended for documents; about $12 900 was
paid the employees Of the committee, and
So, 600 for furniture and general expenses.
This left SIS, 600, of which $34 900 was
sent to the different States, and SIS, 900
was paid speakers for expenses. OF the
balance, SIS, 700 was lost by the failure Of
the German-American National Bank, and
$500 remains on hand. The ~sub-commit-
tee takes testimony in Philadelphia on Fri
day or Saturday.
Both Political Parties Getting into
Shape.
New YORK, March &c.
The "Herald's" Washington special thus
summarizes the political situation What
is passing here, just now, is o desperate
attempt by both parties to get themselves
into shape for The Presidential campaign
next year. The Republicans are struggling
how to find and make an issue for next
year, on which the whole Of their dis
tracted party can be united. A false issue,
of course, because on all real questions
neither party dares commit itself, as
the Republicans have determined upon
. +" solid South" and the danger OF
rebel supremacy as their issue; 80 the
Democrats conclude that the fraud cry is
the only thing that can unite them.
Whether the Democrats are for hard or
soft money, for a liberal tariff, or high
protection, for or against subsidies, all can
be united, it is thought. on the fraud issue,
and it ID to make that plain and intensity
it in the popular mind, that the leaders
have so vigorously insisted on an effort to
repeal the election laws. The immediate
repeal of these laws is a matter Of no prac-
teal importance, for there are no elections
this fall. It may even happen that after
IN exciting and prolonged debate, sufficient
to arrest the attention Of the country, the
whole scheme will be suddenly given up.
A Wonderful Financial Measure.
New YORK, March 26.
A Washington correspondent says: The
Gr~eenbackers are preparing a wonderful
financial measure, which they intend to
present To- the House at the earliest posi-
BILE opportunity. The bill provides for the
retirement Of the entire circulation Of the
National Banks, and the replacement Of
this with United States notes, which
are to be q full legal tender for all debts,
public and private. The Secretary of the
Treasury is required to ANGEL the National
Bank notes, pay the expenses of the Gov
eminent, and purchase gold and silver as
. means of putting this new money into
circulation. The surplus coin in the
Treasury is to be used to purchase and can
eel United States bonds. The bill also
provides for free and equal coinage Of gold
and silver, Of the present standard weight
and fineness. A new gold piece, to be
called the quint eagle, is to be coined, and
subsidiary silver coins are to be Of full
weight, and to be q full legal tender for
any amount. The amount Of the new cur

The EIopement of Miss Nellie Hub
bard.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, March 26.
The elopement Of Nellie, the youngest
daughter OF Ex-Governor Hubbard, con
tinues to be the topic Of conversation. 1t
is an event so in Connecticut
that only one precedent can be thought Of,
and that was an elopement a few years ago
Of the young and beautiful Miss Mallory.
of New Haven, with an Irish groom, which
shook the foundations Of society in that
place; but the marriage has proved a
happy one, and to-day the couple are liv-
9ag contentedly in Providence. Upon Mr..
Mallory's death, he left his daughter S25,-
900 in her own right. In this case the
youth OF the girl--she has not yet passed
her 18th birthday-largely excuses her
conduct, while nothing so far explains it.
She has had a delightful home, has been
surrounded by all the Injuries Of life, and
nothing had appeared in her conduct to
excite the least suspicion that her affection
was drawn towards the man whom she has
chosen. When the facts became known,
produced overwhelming establishment.
Too Frequent Allusions to the Re-
be1liOn.
New YORK, March 26.
The "Sun" strongly lectures Southerners
in Congress. and particularly Senator
Bayard, on their frequent illusions to the
rebellion. The article closes: s'If we are
not misinformed, their theory Of secession
was illustrated by an experiment that
failed, and we should suppose the less
ssid by them about that experiment the
better"
