j. Madison Wells, Of Louisiana Return
ing Board fame, and for whose good offices
as n member Of that Infamous set Of polit-
ical tricksters, was rewarded by Mr. Hayes
with the appointment as surveyor Of the
port Of New Orleans, has been indicted by
United States grand jury for malfeasance
in office. 1t is charged that he has sold
Offices at his disposal and carried on gen
eral system of taxing his employees for
his own personal benefit. Thejury is now
investigating certain warehouse and dray-
sse frauds in connection with the Custom
house, which seriously affect the integrity
of that other member of the Returning
Board, Tom Anderson.

A Set Back for uOnkling.


Notwithstanding Coukling's heroic and
persistent efforts to defeat the confirmation
Of Merritt and Burt, as collector and sur
yeyer Of tho port Of New York, the SEN
ate on Monday, by vote Of thirty-three
to twsnty-four, confirmed them. The vote
stood for confirmation, 10 Republicans
and 20 Democrats; against confirmation,
10 Republicans and Democrats. twill
thus be seen that small majority Of the
Republicans were opposed to confirmation
and three.fourihs of the Democrats in
favor Of 1t. Seven Senators for cOnfrma-
tioa were paired with seven in opposition.
NIessrs. Herman, Jones and Maxey Dem
ocrats, and Wadleigh, Republican, did not
vote, and Eustis, Democrat, was absent
The administration Senators are jubiant
over the result Of the vote, aud the Conk-
ling men gloomy and depressed, The
Baltimore Sans Washington eOrresPon-
dent says that it was openly charged on
Monday night that the administration traf-
ficked with certain Republican Senators to
obtain their votes, among them being
Conover, Of Florida, who was promised
federal patronage in his State,
Senator Conkling is not only vain, but
imperious, aud we could enjoy his discom-
future more were it not triumph for John
Sherman aud the fraudulent President.
To Mr.. Coukling it is an act of retribu-
tive justice which he fully deserved When
the question Of the Presidency was trem-
bling in the balance word from him
would have turned the scale against the
usurper, whom he now contemptuously
speaks of as the ''so-eallod President, and
in favor Of the rightfully elected candidate,
but he was dumb. The N. Y. Sun truly
says:-To the voice of his country, to the
voice Of duty, at the supreme moment
when the great question was to be decided,
Senator COnkling turned deaf ear He
was absent from his post, or when present,
hesitation, doubt, fear, or some misealcu-
lated personal advantage, sealed his lips.
Ii is oaly when he finds himself over
whelmed in the common calamity in which
he helped to involve his country that he
cries out against the "so-cnlled President.
Honest and earnest patriots need waste no
sympathy over the defeat of public ser :
want who was unfaithlul in the great crisis.
Mr.. Conkling has received his deserts.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE or THE PAcA Man.
slOS.--Ihe fine old mansion house of the
Paea family, on Wye Island, Q. Anne county,
Nd, was destroyed by fire Monday morning.
The fire commenced on the root, and origina
ted from n timers furnace while workmen
were engaged repairing the roof The man.
sion was one OF the finest in the State, and
was built by Gov. Paca before the Revolu.
tionary war. Many an old revolutionary
worthy has enjoyed its hospitality. 1t con.
tanned many valuable family portraits, among
them a life size portrait Of Gov. Paca, antique
relies and furniture, valuable plate, and Gov.
Paca' s library. The full length portrait Of
Gov. Paca, the plate, and some Of the other
pictures were saved, but most Of the furniture
and the library were destroyed. Nothing
now remains Of the grand old building but its
backeued walls, We understand that Mrs.
VIM. u. Pacn, who owns the property, resides
in Baltimore.

Voting the Pension Bill says the Phil
adclphia Ledger, must now be followed by
finding the money for that. piece of hasty
legislation. The current revenue will not
pay it, aud so the money must be borrow
cd. This whole business is crab-like
proceeding in finance. Some twenty mil
lions or so viii be voted to the Sinking
Fund this year for the liquidation of the
public debt, and this is to be offset by bor-
rowing forty millions for the pension ar
rearages. No measure Of Congress has
received such general apprehension, for
long time past, as this Pension bill. 1t
has shaken the confidence of the country
ia the Weldon of that body, and welnigh
crushed ont all hope of relief from our
enormous pnblic debt from the economy Of

jected bargain, be is reported by Mr.. Weed

discounteraneed any attempt to buy the
Presidency, and was in no sense party
to the cipher negotiations, which was the
superserviceable work Of others.

The immediate cause of the difficulty in
France, which eliminated in the resigna-
ton of President Mcmahon, was, that the
Assembly in which the Republicans have
a decided majority, distrusted the republi
canism of the Generals at the head of the
Army, aud passed decree for their re-
moval and substitution of other officers
more in accord with the popular ideas,
which decree President McMahon refused
to sign, and being pressed to do SO, resign
ed. The fact is, there has been constant
effort to undermine republicanism, by the
Clergy, the Bourbons, the 0rleanists, and
the Bonapartists, and the Republicans
seem determined to fortiiy themselves
against any attempt to wrest the govern
mont from their hands by force. The
measure was doubtless one ofprudeucc and
wise forecast, for Europe seems to be quite
unsettled.

A Democratic mass meeting was held
10 Union Hall. San Francisco, on Saturday
night, to approve the passage Of the Anti
