The Investigation OF Custodian E'itney,s
Afairs-A scandalous Postal Card.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The report of the
town is the alleged scandalous disclosures
being made by the investigation into the Of
fetal affairs of Custodian Pitney of the Urea
sury. The latest feature in the matter is the
alleged connection of ex-Secretary Sherman
with the remarkable disbursement of the
Treasury contingent funds. 1t is said that
ex employees of the department engaged un-
der government pay work upon the embel-
lishments of Sherman's z street mansion,
and that the expenses of the Treasury cabinet
shop under Pitney's care were thus raised to
questionable figures. In support of this al
legation it has been said that Pitney was ap-
pointed by Sherman in 1877. The fact is
that the present custodian received his ap-
pointment from President Grant, Bristow
being Secretary of the Treasury. 1t not i'm
probable that much of the sensation evolved
from the investigation will be discounted in
similar way. Assistant Secretary Upton
says that when he was chief clerk of the de-
partment he instituted system of purchase
by bidding, which was followed closely as
long as he was in that position and which as
far as he knew was being followed by his
successor. When bids were called for and
purchases made thereon it had been his aim
to procure all of the specified articles that
were needed, but if further supplies became
necessary purchases were made on the basis
of the last bids. The investigation is being
carefully made, and Secretary Window says
he has received and will receive no informa-
ton in regard to the character of the discov-
cries made until it is completed All reports
of his comments thereon are without founda-
ton

London county, Virginia and swore out a
warrant against him before United States

ing Carmichael with sending an indecent pos

good progress towards recovery in the past
twenty-four hours. DR.. Boynton says her
fever is yielding and the indications are that
it will entirely subside within few days.
Mrs Garfield has been very sick indeed and
the change for the better is largely due to

Au important Matter for Wheat
Growers.

A correspondent from Lincoln coun.
ty writes the following to the Pioneer
Press under date Of December Is:
Tread with interest an article in
the Pioneer Press of December 10Th,
headed BADLY Mixed Wheat" The
tenor of the article was that the wheat
of this State " as badly mixed, and
that the Minneapolis millers we're max
ing seriousI complaint about it, and ad.
vising the farmers to SOW in the future
pure Scotch Fife. Now, Mr.. Editor,
this is all very good for the Minneapo.
lis millers to advise the farmers to sow
pure seed, but wish to say to them
that the trouble does not rest altogeth-
er with the farmer. Being a farmer
myself in Dakota county, Mimi, for
twenty years, and the last two years
being occupied on my farm in Lincoln
county, Mimi, ant being a close OBJ
server of things transpiring around me
l can truly say that the trouble rests
principally with the grain buyers, and
not with us.
Two gears ago. When went into
Lincoln county, took great pains to
get clean Scotch Fife, and as pure as
possible, to sow. The consequence
was, raised extra No. wheat, and
got the highest market price. I fam.
ed my wheat thoroughly before draw.
ing to market, and when sold it was
dumped into a car with lot of dirty
wheat. The next load that was un.
loaded was a lot of dirty Lost Nation,
| which was dumped right on mine. I
have noticed this rule has been carried
on among grain.buyers of Minnesota
ever since it was a State. Now where
does the blame rest-with the millers
| or us!
Again, I wish to ask the Minneapo.
lis millers if they think the farmer is
| going to raise the Scotch Fife wheat
and sell it for the same price that the
Lost Nation will bring, when they can
raise from eight to twelve bushels of
Lost Nation more per acre than they
can Of Scotch Fife? Will the millers of
Minneapolis enter into a contract with
the farmers to pay them twenty five to
thirty cents more per bushel for the
Scotch Fife than other grades will
bring? And if not, I would say to my
brother farmers, raise the wheat that
will bring the most money per acre.
A READER.
The above letter was submitted te
some of the leading millers Of Mime
apolis who, in substance gave the fol
lowing response:
''Tell the farmers that up to this
time we have made no difference in
price, between hard and soft wheat
becau Sc there was not enough of the
latter grown to make any material diff
ference in the general crop; but the
evil has grown 50 within the past yea,
or two that the millers' association
have decided to make a decided differ
ence in price another year. The crol
Of 1881 will be strictly graded, SO far az
our purchases are concerned, and ;
| considerably higher price paid for hare
than soft wheat. We cannot use thu
latter here at the mills in the making
| of patent flour, and shall draw the lin,
tightly this coming fall between tn,

gradually increased until it has assum.

with him Mr.. John Haggenmiller and
Mr.. VIM. F. Hachmann. Both Of the
above named junior members Of the

this city. The former will be readily
recognized as the late senior member
Of the firm of Haggenmiller & Kuhl,
also of St. Paul, and the latter as the
joyial and popular travelling salesman
who in former years visited this city
with clock-work regularity in the in
terests of the old firm of Benz & Becht,
and more recently for Geo. Benz. The
Pioneer Press speaks of the new firm
as follows:
THE combination is indeed strong
