THE BRIBER STILL At WORK.

The news from Washington indicates that
Bill Mashburn, the convicted corruptionist
and bride giver, is at work in his favorite
manner. Mr.. Donnelly is battling at great
odds, as he did in the canvass of 1873. The
entire wealth of the Washburn family and
their friends is at work to save
the titman of the family, and a more
inscriptions gang of scoundrels were never
associated together than Washburn and his
strikers.
Notwithstanding the overwhelming report
of the subcommittee having the immediate
investigation of the matter in charge, the
Washburn gang appear to have been able to
make break in the committee, and though
it is hardly likely that Washburn will escape
expulsion, the chances of the seat being
given to Mr.. Donnelly are not encouraging.
The final vote will be taken by the com
mittee tomorrow, and the battle against cor.
ruptlon and scoundrelism will then be trans
ferred to the floor of the House.

A Deserted Husbands Fruitless Search for
an Errant Wife.
The grounds for sensation in high toned
colored life we're developed about O'Clock this
morning, the circumstances of which, SO far as
ascertalned, are as follows: At the hour named
darkey named Jones, residing on Cooper
street, approached Officer Baer at Bridge
Square and enquired for his truant wife, whom
he described as slender woman of small stat
ute, attired in black dress and plaid shawl.
The hapless benedict stated that his better
half had suddenly disappeared from the
house, and he expressed grave fears, to the
effect that she had eloped with gay decelver,
who oficiates as porter on Pullman car. he
was informed by officer Baer that if the elope-
ment had really taken place tho guilty couple
had not passed along his beat. Shortly before
2 clock, however, hack was observed driv-
ing furiously by Seven corners, in the direction
of Minneapolis. Whether or not it contained
the alleged runaways, is, at this hour, matter
of pure conjecture. At last accounts the dis
consulate husband was searching with the ut
most concern for his fleeing wife.

The Partisan Examiner.

The labyrinth of falsehood which Secretary
Sherman's Assay Commissioner can weave
around a very simple fact is truly worthy OF
admiration. He can probably lie more to the
square inch than any man born in Nova Scotia
since Washington's time.
The GLOBE has accused Mr.. Knox of being
partisan in his report relative to Ramsey
county, and cited, among other things, that
contrary to his usual practice, he saw that the
Pioneer Press was promptly supplied
with copies of his criticism of Ramsey county.
The answer of the organ of corruption is that
the GLOBE sought the document for publica.
ton, and in reality made public the documen,
through its opportunities. That Mr.. Knox did
not give the matter but it was obtained from
the Governor.
The facts in the case are that the GLOBE, nc
matter how, learned that MIR. Knox was about
to submit his report to the Governors office
and that it would be given Immediately fol
publication. Consequently the GLOBE wat
watching for the document to obtain it as soou
as it was ready.
Mr.. Knox did urge the printing of the re.
port, and urged as a reason for haste, that he
had got to 60 out of town and he wanted to
read the proof. He accordingly read the re.
port to the Governor on Monday and proposed
to take it at once to the p. p. for publication.
He stated that the document was very long,
and, as it criticised Democrats, he did not
think any other paper would publish it
he should have the benefit of placing the
entire report in the p. p. hands. That was
his intention and he was thwarted by the
GLOBE. The GLOBE called on Mr.. Knox but
once, simply to ascertain when the report would
reach the Governor.
Thanks to the fairness of the executive of
fee when Mr.. Knox rolled up the manuscript
and prepared to make bee line to the p. p.
he was told that the GLOBE was entitled to il
the next morning was out of the question
This was Monday afternoon. As he laid great
stress on the proof Gov. Pillsbury assented thai
on Tuesday he might take the document to the
P. p, read the proof and supply proof sheets
to the GLOBE. On no other condition woald he
be allowed to take it to his favorite journal.
There was no importantly on the part of the
GLOBE for its immediate publication, but as
newspaper the GLOBE proposed to print the
news as soon as anyone. There was no stipula
ton that the whole document should bt
printed. The GLOBE was left entirely free te
follow its inclination in the matter.
This is the whole story of the publication
If Mr.. Knox will take tho trouble to deny his
partisan haste in the publication, instead Of
shielding himself behind his disreputablt
newspaper champion, the GLOBE will supply
him with the names of unimpeachable wit
nesses, who will substantiate our statements
both as to his indecent haste to rush it into
print, and also to give it exclusively to hi
favorite sheet.

Capt John 81. Reaney is back from his
brief pleasure trip to st. Louis and New Or

enjoyable trip, an assertion1 justified by his
improved physical condition. He also re-
ports transportation matters unusually live
ly on the lower Mississippi river, the differ
ent lines of boats being unable to acoommo-
date the offerings. Especially is this true of
bulk shipment of grain to New Orleans for
tions the factas significant of the growing
recognition Of the advantages offered by this
route for grain shipments over the rail route
to New York snd other Eastern ocean ports,
that Jay Gould has recently Sc
cured a large interest in the
Lowery line Of lower river boats, and that
as one result OF this acquisition of capital,
business sagacity and push, the immediate
construction of four new steamers and forty
grain barges has been ordered.
Commodore Davidson, he says, is getting
all the boats of the Keokuk Northern line in
shape for the coming seasons business
which he expects to be of the same pushing
character as that now observable on the
lower river. While in st. Louis he ran down
to Carondalet to look at the frame of one Of
the three passenger packets being built fol
the company. These packets are to be 800
feet long and 81 feet amidships, light
draught; modelled upon new theory present
ing little resistance to the water, and sup
Piled with powerful machines, it is expected
faster rate Of speed will be secured by then
than has been accomplished by river boats
The first Of these boats will be out early il

Carbonate of soda, or soda ash, it should
be known, is used largely for other things
than for the bleaching of paper pulp, and
therefore the figures are considerably too
high. But admitting that the loss to the
revenue on account of the abolition of the
tariff would reach the amount stated, we do
not think that loss would compensate for
the injury inflicted upon the public by the
increase in the price of newspapers and
books rendered necessary by the imposition
of the tariff.
It will be noticed that the tariff on wood
pulp, which enters largely into the manufac-
ture of paper, has brought in revenue of
only three hundred dollars during the year
1879. The tariff on this article amounts to
twenty per cent, and the manufacturers are
enabled to realize profit on its preparation
of from three hundred to four hundred per
cent. 1t is not too much to ask that Con-
gress shall surrender the three hundred dol
lars received from the tax on this article
when it is established that by doing so the
newspapers of the country can afford to save
to their subscribers several million dollars q
year.
1t is demonstrated that the revenue can
afford to lose the whole amount of taxes i'm
posed upon paper and the materials used in
its construction without impoverishing the
treasury. Under the wise regulations devised
md oy,fopNo1 hu
appears that the revenue has been largely in
creased of late, and that the balance over e1-
penses will be greatly in excess this year over
any preceding twelve months. Taxes are
less onerous than previously, and are collect
ed more promptly. 1t can, therefore, do no
harm to remit the taxes on these few articles
that contribute 30 much to the dissemination
of correct political and general knowledge,
while it will largely promote the publication
of newspapers, pamphlets, tracts and books
that serve 80 we'll to promote the general in
tellIgenoe of the people. A daily newspaper
is become necessity to every family pre-
tending to intelligence. It not only commu-
nicates the news of the day, but it serves to
inculcate correct understanding of politi-
cal, social and religious topics. The tariff on
the articles used in the manufacture of paper
and type adds tax upon every reader of a
newspaper. 1t adds simply to the profits of
the paper makers, and its abolition would
still leave them profit far in excess of that
derived from any other branch Of manufac-
turing industry. Its abolition will work no
hardship upon them, while it will relieve the
ten Thousand newspapers and the thirty mil
lions of readers from burdensome and in
e1cusable tax. Congress will be derelict of
its duty if it shall fail to repeal the tariff up
on the few articles comprised in the list that
brings 80 insignificant q revenue into the
treasury and inficts 80 much hardship upon
the people at large.
