jority report OF the Senate Committee
on Elections in the Ingalls, case. The
report finds that bribery and corruption
were employed to secure Ingalls, cleo
ton, but there was no evidence that
INGALLS, authorized such improper acts,
or that they, in fact, secured his cleo
ton. Cameron of Wisconsin presented
a minority report signed by Hoar, Lo-
gan and himself, concurring in that
part of the majority report which ex-
onerates ingalls,, bat expressing the
opinion that when the report states
corruption was employed, it should in
justice say what was proved-that such
means were employed in opposition to
his election. The reports were ordered
printed.
A letter, signed by nine colored
members of the Assembly, of Virginia,
was sent to Secretary Sherman January
3lst last, announcing their intention of
supporting him for the Presidency, and
expressing belief that in the event Of
his election the colored people will find
in him friend ever ready to defend
their interests. Yesterday, areply was
received from Sherman expressing his
pleasure at the kindly sentiment con-
tanned in the communication, and con-
Guiding with the expression that ''all
are alike citizens of our common coun-.
try, equally entitled to it's privileges
and equally bound to obey its laws and
usages.
The missing county returns of last
September election in Maine, were
found yesterday in chamber recently
occupied by Governor Garcelon, and,
with other papers, are In possession of
the Investigating Committee, who will
give them special attention. These
papers, it is said, implicate several per-
sons in Kennebec, Androseoggin, Ok
ford, Franklin and Washington counties,
in changing and substituting returns.
The Chicago Stats Zeitung says it
learns from conversation with +. 3.
Washburne, that the positive announce
ment of the lnter-Ocean that he will
not be candidate under any circum-
stances, means simply that he will not
be an active candidate against Grant,
but the latter being out of the race, be
would not refuse the nomination.
The Inter Oceans Washington special
says: Senator Conkling says he will
not attend the Utica Convention unless
he is elected delegate, and he has no
intimation that he will be. He is sure
the convention will indorse Grant, al
though desperate effort will be made
to prevent it and secure some repre-
sensations for other candidates.
The Directors of the Mission and
Pioneer Wooden Mills, San Francisco,
deny the statement of Donald McLen-
nan, telegraphed yesterday, that the
mills would shut down, and state that
the places Of the Cinnamon discharged
will be filled by whites and the work
continued.
The House Naval Committee has
agreed to report joint-resolution au-
thorizing the sending OF naval vessel
to carry provisions and clothing to Ire
land.
The expenses of the Maine trouble
are estimated at $50, 900.
