ANornER 1CKLEN FRAUD.
He Presents an opinion of ChlerJustIe
MarshalI NJ His Own.


WASHINGTON, April 25.-Mr. Acklen to-
day cast all his former efforts atimposition
on the House into the shade. He pre-.
sented report in connection with bill
incorporating company in one of the
Territories. The report related to the
right Of Congress to grant such an iucor.
poration to private parties. 1t Is ten or
fifteen pages in length. A lawyer on the
Democratic side in glsncing it through,
thought 1t sounded familiar, and several
removes above anything Acklen was cap
able of legal argument. Alter little
attention this lawyer recalled the whole
as an opinion OF Chief Justice Marshall in
aMaryland bank case. Acklen had copied
1t almost entire from 4th Wallace, and sub.
stituted the word Corporation" for bank,
The discovery caused much disgust on the
floor, but no public notice was taken oI
the trick.

EXODUS INQUIRY.
The Exodus Committee examined Col.
Alexander Yerger Of Rosedale, Miss, who
is at present Superintendent Of Education
for Bolivar county, Miss. His testimony
was mainly in reference to the schools
sy,tem and educational facilities. He
said the privileges, though limited, were
shared equally 70 the black and whites.
There was no prejudice on the part OF the
white people In his section against educat-
ing the blacks, and many influential white
residents favored eplarging the school
fund, believing that better education OF
the black people would be beneficial to
Louis 'stubblefeld, colored farmer
from Bolivar county, Miss, was also ex-
amined. Stubblefeld Is middle aged,
uneducated negro, unable TO read or write,
testified that he was member OF the
Board OF Supervisors in his county, q
position he had filed over eight years.
At the close Of the war he was slave, but
now owns farm Of 100 acres, well sup
piled with stock and altogether worth, he
thought, over $4,000. He said there were
twelve or fifteen other colored men in the
county worth fully as much as himself.
Bolivar county, he thought, was the best
place In the country for colored man e

| IMPROVING THE SHENANDOAH.
Senator Hereford to-day, introduced a
bill for the improvement OF the shenan'
doah river above Harper's Ferry. Those
who have had the opportunity OF obsery-
ing the somewhat ragged character OF the
bed OF that stream, near the Ferry, will
wonder what improvements could be
made in it further than introducing fish.
ladders at reasonable distances, but 1t
seems that this portion Of the river was
navigable before the war for batteaux and
other craft ofthat kind, large enough to
convey crops and produce oi the farmers
along the river above, down TO Harper's
Ferry, and 1t is the intention Of the bill TO
put the river in the same condition as in
the anti.bellum days.
It Is estimated by tie engineers that
thirty thousand dollars will be sufficient
10 make the river navigable from the
Levels, six miles above Harper's Ferry, TO
the railroad crossing at the town, and this
Is the amount Of the appropriation mem
toned In the bill.
BLAlNE's ARRREcIATIoN OF oLARKsBuRo.
met Senator Blaine the other day
while talking with some friends at the
hotel entrance, and he stopped long
enough to laugh over copy, which some
friend had sent him, OF the resolutions
passed recently by the Republicans Of
Harrison, at the County Convention held
in Clarksburg to select delegates to the
Wheeling Convention Of the 18th prox.
The resolutions, as will be remembered,
endorsed Blaine as the choice Of Harrison
county, eulogized Grantand complimented
Sherman. The Grant and Sherman reso.
lutions, however, were somewhat weaken
ed by subsequent resolve against third
termism aud declaration that the Sher-
man mention was only complimentary,
and the announcement as to Blaine was
the only one unaffected by subsequent
statements-a fact which the Maine states
man seemed TO appreciate. He is looking

Washington is as orderly city on Sun
day as l have ever visited, and at the
same time there Is but little repression ex.
erted by the authorities. The bars and
barber shops are kept closed by order Of
the Commissioners so far as tie street
entrances are concerned, but the entrances
TO the latter from hotels are allowed TO re-
main open, and there is apparently no
difficulty in thirsty people procuring any
variety Of refreshments they desire. Peo-
pie are accustomed to behave themselves
here-outwardly at least, and there
seems to be very little trouble in preserving
good order. Ina recent conversation with
Col. II. II. Blackburn, formerly Of your
State, but who has resided here for
good many years, he remarked that the
municipal government here, was better
than that Of any city in the country. The
Commissioners, as a rule, were intelligent
upright and substantial citizens, who had
the prosperity Of the city at heart. There
were no election rows, no pandering to
the rowdy element for the sake Of votes,
and no rioting or disorder worth mention
