WAsHINGToN. May 27.-The officials
of the Treasury Department who have
been implicated in the Treasury Gus
todian's ring still retain their positions
and therefore exercise some authority
over the members OF the Investigating
committee. This fact, together with
certain efforts to have witnesses make
some corrections, has led to an i'm
preston that the affair may end in
whitewashing, but this will not be
the case. Secretary Window was put
in possession of plain evidence of
wrong doing before the investigation
was ordered, and the Secretary re
quirss full and thorough exposure,
with q fair knowledge OF the misuse
of public money. The Secretary had
men appointed on the committee of a
character who will not halt to please
Of friendship Or any other kind, to
save parties who have been in the
ring. 1t will be some days before o
hnal report will be submitted.

The Work of a Fiend.

One of the most atrecious acts ei
villainy recorded in this region was
recently perpetrated at Dsnnison,
Tuecarawas county, recently, the de-
tails of which are thus given in an
exchange: A little daughter of Dan.
iel McCauley, while on her way to do
some shopping, was met by man
named Sheets, who gave her two rail
read torpedoes, telling her they con-
tanned candy, and that she must open
them with a stone. She innocently
laid one of them down on the SIDE
walk and tried to burst it open with a
brick. After striking it two Or three
times. the torpedo burst with terrible
force. The girPs eyes were entirely
destroyed, and she was otherwise SO
badly injured that it 10 feared she can
not recover. No reason is given for
the hellish act, and the entire neigh.
borhood 10 excited over the affair.
Such human monster should be hung
without delay"

THE report telegraphed from Wash
ington on Friday, representing John
u. Thompson, Sergeant-at.Arms OF
the House of Representatives,, ~ be-
ing short in his accounts, is pronounce
ed a mere fabrication, utterly devoid
of truth. A Saturdays telegram from
Washington says that the report sent
out the day previous was incorrect,
and based on the assertion of some
person aggrieved at Mr.. Thompson.
There is no truth in the story whatev-
er. Thompson is absent, but his chief
clerk yesterday forenoon went over
the books with the Western Associa-
ted Press Reporter to show that the
accounts with the last Congress have
all been settled, and every check drawn
been cashed. The report started from
complaints of parties to Government
official, who repeated them.

New YORK, May pa Washing
ton dispatch 10 the Telegram ssys
there are mutterings to-day OF star
route storm, and it is now thought
that it may burst during the coming
week. Attorney General Veagh
and Postmaster General James were
working steadily all the morning on
evidence they have obtained, and hey
hope to have all warrants issued and
arrests accomplished early in June.
They expect to prove tho existence of
a huge spirscy TO rob the Govern
Dent, and to produce evidence TO show
how much money was stolen and to
whom it was paid. Strong appeals,
mingled with threats, are going up to
President Garfield against the prose-
cuticn of the investigation.

Reports seem to indicate that all is
not lovely in the ranks of the truly
loyar' even in theF Buckeye State. A
Columbus special to the Plain Dealer
dated the 18th uh,, says: 1t has
come to the surface that a quiet move
ment has been on footfor some time
here to organize an active movement
of the Ohio Stalwarts against the ad-
ministratiOn in general and Charley
Foster in particular. There is very
large Stalwart element here and it has
been very restive under the virulent
attacks made by the administration
organsen senators ConkliBg. General
John Beatty, a Stalwart of the Stall
warts aud one of the original band has
been very active in this movement,
and has been out spoken in his indOrse-
ment Of Conkling's course. 1t is pro-
posed to call Republican meeting in
this city to endorse the action of Conk-
ling in resigning. and giving vitality
to the principle by which he was gov
erned. Gen. Beatty, Colonel Furay,
of the State Auditors office, and Col.
Charley Moore, will take part in the
movement, and it will embrace quite q
number of the ablest Republican lead
ers in the Capital. 1t is also stated
that leading Republicans all over the
state are being cOrrespOnded with on
the subject, and the meeting, when 1t
takes place, is likely to assume fOrmid-
able proportions and create q decided
sensation in National as we'll as State
politics. Another object of the move
ment is to organize an opposition to
the denomination of Charley Foster,
and failing in that, to defeat him at
the polls. The note of alarm was
sounded by the Evening Dispatch, Re-
publican o-gan, yesterday evening,
which contained the following editorial
paragraph: "We are informed that a
quiet scheme is on foot to send an anti
Foster delegation from Franklin coun-
ty to the Cleveland Convention"
1t is to be remarked that the Dis
patch Is rather stalwart in its leanings
and would not be displeased if Govern
or Foster should fail to be renominated
at the Cleveland Convention. There
is no Disgusting the fact that Foster
has lost terribly in popularity in this
city, and the opposition to him is like
ly to be more formidable than is gen.
orally believed. The Stalwart leaders
admit that the movement referred to
is on foot, but decline to talk about it
farther than to say that it is reasona-
! bly, certain that Franklin county will
send an anti- Foster delegation to Cleve-
land. In the event that it is found to
be impossible to prevent Fosters re-
nomination, the Stalwarts will either
hold a Convention and nominate an
| Independent Republican ticket or quiz
etly knife Charley on election day. 1t
is understood that Judge Taft is the
candidate OF the Stalwarts.
