WASHINGTON, April 2O.-There are indi-
cations that the Democrats in the House
will not make a very stubborn fight to re-
tain Mr.. Chalmers in Ills seat. Some Demo-
Gratis have favored fillibuste.ing to prevent
his being turned out but other Democrats
are not inclined to go that far. 1ar
Some Republicans OF the House are criti.
cising the management OF the election
cases. They say that the moral effect OF this
mornings work in allowing cases to 60 over
after they had been called is dis.dyan.
tageous. Those who are finding fault say
these cases demand sharp and determined
handling, and that the least yielding gives
the Democrats more or less advantage.
They say that those in charge OF the cases
should not have called them up until they
were sure every thing was ready and in
shape. l,.,t.s-,. 49, i.

WASHINGTON, Pa, April o0.-The hear.
ing in the Rutll.Thompson clse, before
Squire Gantz, was resumed this morning
Ruth was recalled and testified in sub.
stance as follows: To send money to Chi.
cago would direct the Penn bank OF Pitts.
burgh to remit drafts on the Chemical
National Bank Of New York, on my own
account, using the fictitious names OF Hale,
King and Fox, to the credit OF Denton
x Co., Of Chicago; bought drafts from Haz.
lett with proceeds Of the bank. We would
transact our business Mt night and slip our
kilograms under the door Of the telegraph
office to be found by the operator in the
morning. Here Ruth recognized num-
Der OF drafts on the Chemical bank, which
extended over period of fourteen months,
from December 6, 1850. to February S; 1882.
The aggregate amount called for by these
drafts was $4,000. He further testified
that the aggregate amount OF wheat pur-
chased was more than nine millions of dol
lars. .7
Cross.examiued: Our first grain specula-
ton was in 1870. Thompson furnished
half the money and got half the profits.
My salary at the bank rs cashier was 500;
had $1,000 worth OF stock. Thomp.
son made arrangements with Denton 4
Co., to divide commission, he acting as
their broker. Thompson furnished no
part OF the capital and received one eighth
ofone per cent for acting rs broker.
authorized all purchases to be made
began to use the banks money when we
commenced with Denton 4 Co. After
losses always insisted on trying it again /;
told Thompson. that the money belong:
ed to the bank, after one loss in June, 1881.
AS cashier l had to make weekly state
ment to the directors showing the assets
and totals Of deposits. The amount Of
actual deposits were 100000 per week !;
had to make semi-annual statements to
the Government, under oath, for tax
purposes; the bank. is taxed only on
profits.
AT the conclusion OF the cross examina-
ton, Thompsou's attoruies stated that
they desired merely to learn the case
against Thompson, and that they would
give bail without further hearing. Bail
was fixed ut $1,000; l.. y. Hamilton and
Jas. Hunts, Jr., going on Ruth's bond, and
\. B. Caldwell and +. Hall going on
Thompson's for their appearance at the
