SOUTHERN CLAIMS.
Closing Up the Worh--An Odor of r.

Closing Ul, the V0rk--An Odor of Fraud.
Washington Special Chicago Tribune.l
This being the last day upon which testi-
mony can be taken by the Southern Claims
commission, there has been submitted to the
commission evidence in support of more
than 100 of the old claims pending before it.
The life of the commission was extended by
the late Congress to the 10th of March,
1881, but the intervening time is to be given
to the adjudication of pending claims upon
testimony already. submitted. The commits
s1oners have reason to believe that some ex-
tenslve frauds have been recently attempted
by means of false evidence in regard to the
ownership of certain property captured by
our troops during the war and sold for the
benefit of the government. If the reports
made by the Southern agents of the COM
mission are borne out when their more
detailed statements are received,
they will show that in the single class of
transactions in which not more than four or
i've persons were engaged, claims amount
ing to more than $1,5OOOOO, which were
fully established by documentary and oral
testimony in Washington, prove to be utterly
fraudulent when examined upon the spot.

DO rs LITTLE rs POSSTBLE.

There is a good deal Of uncertainty az TO
the programme to be pursued at the extra
session OF Congress, and no end to gossip in
the public press about the course that will be
pursued as to this, that, OF the other measure
that may Or may not be brought up for con-
sidoration. The Washington Post, however,
CLEANS from many Senators and Representa-
tiyos now in that city what appears to be an
authoritative programme, which has the merit
of beiag sensible, at any rate. The pro-
gramme, in brief, is this:
The Legislative, executive and judicial bill
will be reported and disposed of promptly inst
as it pas 7ed the last House. It will 90 to- the
Senate and be passed there with as little DELAY
as possible Meantime the House will do moth
ing. Not even the army-appropriatiOn bill
will be touched until it is seen what Hayes pro-
poses to do. If he sees fit to approve the leg
islative bill, then the army bill will be passed
as quickly aS possible, and Congress will imme-
diately adjourn. Should Hayes veto the legis
lative bill, then the Democrats of Congress will
conclude that no time need be wasted foolinp
with him, and they will adjourn at once. #
Hayes sees tit to call another extra session. it
will convene and enact the same programme
over again, and even again if necessary.
The greatest hazard the Democrats will

is really no necessity for legislation other
than the passage of the two appropriation
bills referred to, together with the political
amendments that we're attached in the
House at the recent session. If more is at
tempted there will be danger of the commits
sion of blhnders that will be disastrous in
the coming political campaign. Yet there
will be no lack of ot-headed men who will
strive to effect legislation in dozen differ
ent directions, and thus complicate the is-
sues before the public and produce discord
in the ranks of the party. We sincerely
trust that the better judgment of the party
leaders will prevail in the deliberations of
the session about to be begun. It ought to
be SO arranged that no newlegislation should
be attempted. The party can rest very we'll
where it it. 1t has good record thus far.
but it is to be feared that in the flush of vic
tory some extreme measures may" be at
tempted that will give the public false con-
ception of tho purposes of the party. Let
the calm, deliberate men of the party declare
that at the extra session of. Congress nothing
be done except what is necessary, and ali |
will be we'll.

FUTURE 4PPOTNTWENTs.

The question is frequently asked: "What
will the Democratic Senate do with Mr.,
Hayes appointments to Office? Will they
be confirmed or rejected?" We have no
hesitancy in answering this question, know
lug as we do the character of a majority of
the members of the Senate.
It is not to be expected that Mr.. Hayes
will appoint men to office who will be ac-
ceptable to the Democratic party. That is
foregone conclusion. He can, however, nom
mate men who are not obnoxious by their
participation in the many frauds that char
acterized the Inauguration of the present ad-
ministration. We have no hesitancy in
saying that if Mr.. Hayes shall appoint Re-
publicans who are honorable and upright
mon, he will meet with no antagonism from
the Senate. But if he shall persist in the
course he has followed thus far, we pre-
sumo there will be most emphatic veto
placed upon his action. The Senate
is not composed of men who are
factious, or who desire to impede
the work of Mr.. Hayes in the slightest de-
gree. They are men, however, of such
sterling honesty that they will not consent
to the appointment of men to positions of
trust who are tainted by fraud. If, how
ever, any of the gang through whose dis
reputable tricks Mr.. Hayes obtained his Office
was unprovided for, and that person should
be appointed to office, we have no doubt but
the Senate would reject the nomination
promptly. But the men who compose that
body are too honorable and upright to in
terpose objections to nominees who are OBJ
Jectionable solely on partisan grounds
Good men who may be appointed, even
though they are Republicans, will be con-
frmed; but men whose only recommends
tion to executive favor is that they served
him by defeating the obvious will Of the
people will be rejected with unanimity that
will cause Mr.. Hayes to open his eyes to
realizing sense of the enormity of the wick
edness Of his past career.

The Keene-Fisher affair was again promi.
nent topic of discussion on the board OF
trade on yesterday. The fact was very gen
orally accepted that there was nothing in
the "bogus dispatch" matter and there was
general desire for an investigation. In.
deed, the action of Mr.. Fisher in regard to
an Investigation will be watched with more
interest than perhaps the movement of
Keene on the market. The general trade
feel that they have been the dupes of mean
stock -jobbing trick, and the opinion is
loudly expressed that Fisher owes it to his
own standing and the reputation
of the board to afford every ia
cility for the unravelment of the mystery.
! In conversation with one of the directors. the
! reporter learned that Archie had taken no
| definite steps toward authorizing the board
| of directors to order an investigation. If he
intends to have full inquiry into the affair,
ne should request the appointment of COM
mlttee OF dlsinterested parties from the
main board, whose meetings will be open to
| the public, and who will have power to sum-
| mon witnesses, take testimony and have
free access to the documents bearing on the
subject
The market was again 'bearish' in its
tendencies. The uneasiness or loss of con-
fidence, engendered by Fridays fasco, coup
led with the fine weather which will enable
farmers to prosecute their crop labors, tend
ed to canse further depression to prices,
The desire to sell shown throughout the en-
tire day, both on local and outside accounts,
was quite urgent Offerings were generally
excessive. EARLY sales of the grade known
as No. spring, for April delivery,
were made at 9411s. From this figure
the price advanced to 94I, but
from that there was decline to 91M, which
figure was accepted on the P. NJ. call. In
the afternoon there was little better feeling,
resulting from an improved demand, and the
market advanced to 924, which was the
closing buying price. The business trans
acted during the day was only moderate in
volume, and largely of local scalping or
der. Last Fridays movement has evidently
taken the backbone out of the trade for the
present, and prices in future will doubtless
depend largely upon the condition of the
weather and the crop reports.
1t was learned during the day that the
statement that when Keene purchased his
wheat last fall the receipts were taken to New
York was erroneous. On inquiring at the
First National bank, where the receipts were
deposited after the purchase, it was ascer-
tanned that the receipts had left the bank
proper, but are now stored in safe place in
this city.
The crowd in the wheat circle was a little
larger than on Monday, and the market
seemed to be watched with great deal of
interest.

The Pioneer Press and DisDatch are very
angry because bill requiring the city coun-
Gil of St. Paul to let the city printing to the
lowest bidder did not become law. The
council is Democratic, and hence gives the
GLOBE (Dem.) the printing, as is perfectly
proper and just-the GLOBE doing the work
at the price formerly paid the Pioneer
Press. The P. P. and Dispatch appealed
to the legislature for the passage of the
above law, and it passed the House, but
failed in the Senate, whereat they are very
wroth. The bill was an insult to the CITY
council of st. Paul, which is just as capable
Of managing its own affairs as the councils
of Minneapolis, Winona, or any other city
in the State.

WE notice the papers in the State are very
generally announcing that the editor of the
Winnebago City Press has been 'horsewhip-
ped" by a disreputable fellow. The editor was
attacked by man with whip, but little
more care in the use of language would make
the statement read that an attempt was
made to horsewhip. It is a very common
error to announce that man has been
horsewhipped when he has simply been at
tackled, aud frequently the man with the
whip gets thrashed.
