No sooner does congress pass a bill in
volying large expenditure Of money than
an investigation is demanded to discover
the means which were employed to secure
its passage. The star-route bill was passed
a few weeks ago and already an inycstigat-
ing committee is at work. 1t is said that
members were paid from $500 to 81 900 tor
their votes, and that to some who refused
money fat contracts were promised. The
developments promise to be far more
scandalous than anything that was shown
up in the Credit Mobilier affair

THE following from the last denial of
his candidacy by E. B. Washburne will be
somewhat interesting in connection with the
Springfield convention: "The thrusting OF
my name before the public as candidate
for the presidency was alike without reason
and without justification. had declared
over and over again, both orally and in
writing, and in a most emphatic manner,
that would not be candidate under any
circumstances or conditions whatever, and
from first to last my only choice was, and is,
Gen. Grant have spent the last six
months in the furtherance of his candidacy.
The suggestions that certain interested par
ties have dared TO make, that | am guilty
of duplicity toward Gen. Grant, are utterly
false, and are known to be so by the par
ties who put them in circulation. What
has taken place in Chicago since I left Hi
nois some ten days ago, is greater sur
prise to me than to any one else. All steps
which have been taken to form combina-
tons with other candidates are utterly
without my approval and against my pro-
test.

THE LAST NEGRO SENATOR


The portly and good looking Senator
Bruce, from Mississippi, is the high author
ity for saying that the colored Republicans
are claiming for him the second place on
the Republican ticket, and have opened a
"literary bureau" here to bring this about.
He has on several occasions presided over
the deliberations of the senate with great
decorum, and has displayed considerable
parliamentary ability, but he doesn't hank
er after the vice presidency. He lives with
his pretty wife and their bright son, Roscoe,
on NJ street, near Ninth, and the other Re-
publican senators call on him, while their
wives call on his wife. But they have not
been admitted within the mystic circle OF
senatorial society, or treated with any fam
iliArity, They feel this, and have often ex.
pressed their regret that people should
come and pay them duty calls when their
hearts were left behind,

of intrusting the management Of affairs to
Kearney, the president as heretofore, and
the election of delegates to the national

is claimed that money together with land
grant bonds to the amount of over $4,000
900 was used, to induce change of heart
among senators and representatives who
composed the Forty-second congress. As
usual, the company denies everything and
pronounces it case Of blackmail or stock

road committee, whose duty it is to investi-

AN ECCLESIASTICAL SENSATION
Inirunn YrIhmnn

AN EGCLESlAS llNAL SENSA llDN.
Chicago Tribune.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y. May lS,--An ccclesi-
astlcal sensation has been caused here by
the Rev. Myron Adams, pastor Of Plymouth
Congregational church, who last evening
called his people together especially, as he
had something to say which might affect his
standing in the church, Selecting for his
text, Let love be without Discrimination,
he boldly denounced the idea of hell as the
doctrine of the devil, and took side-by-sde
position with Canon Farar, to-wit; Here
| declare, and call God to witness, that, if
the popular idea Of hell were true, | should
be willing to renounce an Immortality of
happiness if thereby | could save single
soul. can conceive of no happy immor-
atty while millions Of my tellow-creaturcs,
some OF whom ! had dearly loved, were at
the same time writing in agony, and with
out hope" Mr., Adams thinks the church
is declining, and says that Bishop Simp-
sons statements, in his sermon at Cincin.
natl on Sunday week, are sort OF whistl-
ing to keep up courage, Skeptcsm is
crushing the church; and the church is to
be blamed for preaching false doctrines
about the future condition of the race,
The affair produced profound sensa-
ton. 1t is not believed that Mr.. Adams
will be forced to resign, as the principal
members of his congregation stand by him.
Mr. Adams is graduate Of Hamilton
college and Auburn theological seminary,
about 40 years old, and one of the most
thoughtful and eloquent preachers in the
city. He is q son-inlaw Of the Rev. Prof
Samuel NJ Hopkins, of Auburn seminary
and professed pre-Millennialist, and took
prominent part IN the Tying pre.Millen

Hogs

The editor of the Hamilton Butler
county, Telegraph has been cutting some
interesting statistics from the annual
report of the Auditor of State. We
have room only to refer to these sta
tistics in reference to hogs. They may
be interesting to the readers Of the
HERALD, as Fayette county is largely
interested in this class of stock and
contains some of the best breeds of
hogs in the State; and if they have not
already the best, their enterprise will
induce them to secure the best. They
have laudable ambition not to be sur
passed in the breed of their swine. In
the telegraph Of last week we find the
following:
In the matter of hogs, Butler has
gradually receded from the position of
the first hog-growing county in the
State to the rank of the fourth or fifth.
Last year six counties reported larger
number of hogs for taxation than But
ler, though when the value of these
hogs comes to be considered, our county
comes to the front as having the highest
priced ones on the duplicate.
The eight great hog counties in the
State are reported by the Auditor of
State as follows:
