The pension appropriations now before Con-
gress aggregate fifsy-six millions of dollars,
and there is a prospect that more will be add
ed before the bill comes to be finally acted
upon. There is one consolation, however,
and that is that the amounts will, without
doubt, be reduced at least one-half before
the bill passes.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETURNS.

Through the error of the secretary of state
of Minnesota in not furnishing the proper
return-blanks to the officers of the election
precincts of the State there were number of
instances where the votes polled for the can
didates for Congress were not returned to
and counted by the county canvassing
boards. In the case of the votes 80 not re-
turned and canvassed in certain precincts of
the counties of Stearns and Morrison it was
conceded and agreed by both parties that
the vote had been cast and should be count
ed. These votes were as follows: (See pp.

live compare this vote with the vote cast in
these same precincts seven months previous
ly, to-wit, at the municipal election of April
2, 1873, we find that the Republicans car
ried these seven precincts at that spring
election by total majority of III, or 1859
votes less than the majority claimed for
Washburn.
At the same election, in the spring of
1873, the Republicans had but 1874 majority
in the city of Minneapolis; and yet. they
claim to have carried the city, seven months
thereafter, by $3.50 vetes!
In these seven precincts the vote at the
spring election of 1873 was as follows:

Supplemental returns were made eight days
after the election by some of the officers of
three precincts of the city of Minneapolis !;
but it Is very clear that the election officers
of the precincts had performed their duties
on the night of the election had dissolved,
and were functus o6icto, and had no right to
make any such supplemental returns. Mr..
Washburn claimed majorities in each of
these precincts, and he therefore undertook
to prove the votes cast aliunde. In strict
ness of law it was his duty to have proved
the votes cast by the best evidence, to wit,

1t is matter of history that Minneapolis
increased during the two years between
November, 1876, and November, 1873, at the
rate of II per cent. per annum (see Mime
sofa State Register, 1879, Congressional
Library, p. 316). If we apply this percent
age of growth to the vote of 1876, and sup
pose that the two political parties increased
pro rata, then the vote should have stood in
1873 as follows:
Total Democratic vote ............. 456S
Total Republican vote. .................4, 999
But instead of Mr.. Donnelly receiving in 1873
1858 votes in Minneapolis, he received but
1866 votes; falling off of 5000 votes. And
it appears that but small part of this Eemo-
cratic vote went to Mr.. Washburn; for, if he
received the full vote of his party, he should
have had 1893 votes, while he claims to have
received 5,026 votes; a ain of only 27 votes.
1t thus appears that there were nearly
5000 Democratic voters who did not vote at
all at the election of November 5, 1873.
The result was that, instead of the Repub-
lican majority given to President Hayes in
Minneapolis of 355 votes, Washburn claims
to have carried the city by $3.50 votes.
The evidence shows that Mr.. Donnelly was
the Democratic candidate for Congress, and
that he received the support of very nearly all
the Democrats, even in M 'nneapolis [see pp.
100, 10; the immense falling off of two
thirds of the Democratic vote in Minneapolis
can, therefore, only be accounted for by the
intimidation of the workmen, and the num-
bering of the ballots in nearly half the pre-
cincts of the city was part of this system of
intimidation,

of the city regarded Mr.. Donnelly as their
friend and champion Up. 112l. They had a
Labor Union, political society, numbering
about 1900 members [p. Ill |, and which

the working population of the city, number

mated Mr.. Donnelly for Congress at
a large meeting by unani
nous vote. The workingmen continued to
support Mr.. Donnelly until the day before
the election Opp. 141, 142). The evidence
shows that great revolution was wrought
in the action of the Democrats during the
last day or two of the canvass; revolution
which several witnesses state could only be
explained by the use of money or intimida
tion, (pp. SO. LOG, 141, 142, 277, etc. In
stead of receiving the 4, 900 or 5000 votes of
the workingmen, or the 1868 votes of the
Democrats, to say nothing of the Greenback
vote, Mr.. Donnelly received but 1855 votes
in the entire city.

out the full Republican vote, nearly 5000
Democrats failed to vote; or if any consider
able part of them voted for Washburn, then
an equal number of Republicans must have
refused to vote for him. There can be no
question that large part of these men were
the employees, who feared to vote for DON

1t cannot be claimed that Mr.. Washburn
increased the Republican vote of the city
from 355. to $3.50, and the Republican vote of
the seven precincts from III to 1,760 be-
cause of his personal popularity; because it is
in evidence that he was not popular, (see PIP.
Ill, 27O. A comparison of his vote in the
district outside of Minneapolis, with the vote
cast for Hayes in 1876, proves that be was
very unpopular. The vote stands as follows:

THE FINDING.

It will be seen that in the foregoing report
we have not rejected the vote of any county
because it was unorganized; neither have we
rejected the vote of any precinct because Of
the numbering of the ballots per Sc, but be-
cause such numbering was one of the Incl
dents of system of fraud and intimidation
neither have We rejected the votes of any
counties for mere informalities on the face
of the returns; but only for those gross IT.
regularities which we're manifestly incom-
patible with legal canvass of the votes.
The following table summarizes the results
of our Investigations in this case:

Now we are asked to believe that while

ahead of Hayes in Minneapolis 3,1O5 votes!
And this, Notwithstanding the fact that the
population of Minneapolis consists largely

Congress, and among whom, it appears, Mr..

withstanding the further fact, that Minneap-
oils may be regarded as debatable ground,
politically. In 1876 the Democratic candi
date for Congress, McNair, carried the city
by about 500 majority, and the county by
over 1000 majority. In April, 1876, the
Democrats and Workingmen elected Dem

The fire last night in the Pavilion de

happily less disastrous than II might

work requiring much time, talent and
money, to replace the rest. The fire
broke out shortly after 10 o'clock in the
bedroom occupied by Nine. IIerold, the
wife OF the project OF the seine. The
spectacle was grand and awful, espe-
cially as seen from the opposite bank Of
the river. The principal loss was sus.
tanned by the project OF the Seine. The
archives OF the City Of Paris were in
the destroyed building, but they were
saved. As, soon AS the news of the fire
spread, crowds hurried TO the scene and
the police had much difficulty in main
