A BURNING WHEAT FIELD.
Bismarck Sun.

Last Friday afternoon as the east
bo md freight train steamed out near the
Gill farm, sparks from the locomotive
set the prairie on fire, and it swept down
through Mr.. Alex. Cameron's wheat field
burning about forty acres in the stack.
Estimated loss about eight hundred dol
lars; and with the greatest exertion Mrs.
Cameron saved her residence from de-
struction. At the sight Of the black
smoke which could be seen from the
Lean ever on the alert for the
welfare of his fellow men, hired crew
OF men and with wet sacks hurried to
the rescue; and set his men to work all
along the fire line. After three hours of
hard labor they had the flames under
control. DR.. Dunn, Weaver and Call,
did good service in the battle with the
fire tiend. For a while it seemed as
though at lepst fifty thousand dollars
worth OF Burleigh county's wheat crops
would be destroyed. Henry Suttles
grain had a narrow escape. 1t does
seem that it would be a great advantage
to the Northern Pacific r. r. Co., to
pillow up fire strips along the entire line
of their road; as such strips would not
only be OF great advantage as snow
fence or lodge, but would in large
measure prevent destructive prairie fires
Last year the prairie fire set by sparks
from passing trains, swept from end to
end of the territory south of us. The
want of grass to hold or bank up the
snow during the winter was to great
extent due the troubles;of the snow block
ade. Will the managers see that some
thing is done?

STARTLING REVOLUTION.


But this is not all. The testimony re-
veals the names of only six of the parties
who were bribed by j. V. Brewer, of Saint
Cloud, in his canvass of Todd and Morrison
counties, and to these six men he paid Out
only 500, but he testifies that he may have
similarly employed hundred parties, and
he does not know whether he paid out $50
or $500. In the case of William NJ. Leyde,
another of the agents sent out by Washburn,
we have the name of only one of the men be
hired to work at the polls, Henry Monroe,
while it is in evidence that he canvassed
nearly every town in the county and hired a
number of men whose names he refused to
disclose. We find that a. Crookston there
we're 173 illegal votes, and the testimony
shows that GO of these were railroad hands
who were all paid for their votes. The prob
ability is very great that the larger part of
the other los votes were cast by railroad
hands similarly paid for their votes.
In Minneapolis the whole atmosphere was
clouded with bribery. The evidence shows
that large sums of money, many thousands
of dollars, had been spent for corrupt pur-
poses. A startling revolution in the politi-
cal feelings of the voters was accomplished
Oki tdC CfO VI tA0 CAOOeAOh1 ouA OLA tA0 tCotA-
mony indicates that this was brought about
by bribery and intimidation. There was no
attempt on the part of The sitting member
to account for this extraordinary revolution,
or to answer the testimony showing bribery.
SECRET CRIME.
1t must not be forgotten that bribery is q
secret crime; both the parties to it are equal
ly interested in keeping it secret; and when
detected both are ready to give ingenious e1-
plantations of it. If they have acknowledge
ed to third parties the receipt of the bride
they are ready to declare, when called to the
witness stand, that they were in favor of the
bribegiver before the money was offered; OF
that they voted for his opponent; or that
the money was paid by some one else, some
nameless party, for some other purpose.
Under these circumstances when it is
shown that in an election over 800 cases of
bribery and attempted bribery are proven,
the presumption is not violent that for every
case that was, by accident, and the indiscre-
ton of the parties, brought to the light,
there were others that were never revealed.
The records of the contested election cases
of Congress will be searched in vain for
parallel to this case. 1t shows that the peo-
Die of this Congressional district were de-
bauched to the last degree; the witnesses in
many cases defend the practice of buying up

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The House COM
mittee On elections have made some progre So
but did not reach a vote to-day
in tie Dcnnelly- Washburn case as
was expected. The minority report
presented by Kiefer has not yet
yet been printes, and Washburn's friends
made That an excuse for delay. The House
finally ordered it printed and paid for out of
corruptionist cannot complain of unfair
treatment.
The report of the majority of the sub
committee, composed of Manning of Mis-
sippi, Armtield OF North Carolina and Beltz-
hoover of Pennsylvania, was present
ed to the full committee and made public
to day. 1t mastery review of The case
and has mado sensation here. 1t shows in
such clear and forcibie manner the Cor
ruption rcsorted TO by Washburn to secure
his scat that it removes the last vestige of
hope for his retaining it. The evidence is SO
strong that it fairly ovorwhelms him.
The full committee will positively vote on
the report of the subcommittee on Tuesday
and there is no Doubt of its adoption.
Neither is there any doubt of the result in
the House. 1t is now only a question of a
very short tinlo when Mr.. Donnelly will take
his seat. He WAS called on by numerous
friends, this afternoon and evening, and
congratulated over his signal victory.
Washburn is terribly crest fallen and his
countenance shows that he feels the disgrace
which has 50 Justly overtaken him.
The report concludes with two
reSo lutions, the first .. declaring that
Washburn is not entitled to his seat,
and the second declaring that the
seat rightfully belongs to Donnely. Though
the report is long ! forward it to the
GLOBE entire, and your readers will find
1t document Which is very interesting
reading.

voters to forego their principles; the parties
who received the brides in many instances
boosted to their neiehbors of the money
they had received, and seemed to be proud Of
the high price for which they had sold them
selves; and the sitting member did not think
it at all necessary to call witnesses to deny or
explain away this overwhelming mass of cor
ruption. Nothing could testify moro strong
ly to the degeneracy of the age and the
depths to which popular suffrage has fallen
than the revelations made in this extraordi-
nary case.
THE LAW OF BRIBERY.
1t is clearly established principle of law,
both in England and the Uuited States, that
bribery committed by the sitting member.
or "by any agent of the sitting member,
with or without the knowledge or direction
of his principal, renders the election void"
See FELTON, vs. Easthorpe, Rogers Law and
Practice of Elections, 221.
In England bribery is an offense of SO helm.
GUS character, and so utterly subversive of the
freedom of elections that, when proved to have
been committed, though in one instance only.
and though majority OF unbribed voters re-
main. the election will be absolutely void
(Cushings Par. Law, p. 70, sec. 1S9; 81. Tres,
Douglass, II, 389; Coventry, Peckwell, /, 81;
Maine on Elections, 345.)
Freedom of election is violated by external
violence, by which the electors are constrained,
or by bribery by which their will is corrupted;
and, in all cases. where the electors are pre-
vented in either of these ways from the free
exercise of their rights. the election aci he yOid
oith0ut reference to the number Of vOtes affected
thereby. (Cushing's Par. Law, p. 6S, 49,
The same doctrine was affirmed by the
House of Representatives in the recent case
of Platt vs.. Goode, second Congressional dis
trict, Virginia. See Contested Elect, 1871
'7G, page $50.
The report, adopted by the House, de-
clares:
These bribed votes should not be counted.
The record furnishes no method for their elm
nation. Their acceptance can only be avoided
by applying the rule of law, 30 well known and
Of such general adoption that it need scarcely
be repeated here, that which illegal and fraudu-
lent votes have been proven, and the poll eau
not be purged with reasonable certainty, the
whole vote must be rejected.
But your committee do not think It It nee
essary to rest the decision of this case upon
this principle of law, although they believe
that the evidence shows conclusively not
only that bribery was committed in multi
tude OF instances, but that great number
Of these cases were traced home to the sit
Ting member. They are of the opinion that
The evidence shows that the contestant had
majority of the legal votes castand returned.
