WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, of Alabama, when sworn in
at the beginning OF the Forty.seveDth
Congress, in June, 1882, toddied up to
the clerks desk, held up his hands, and
the oath being taken, betook his little
body, gray whiskers and short hairs
back to his seat. Lowe contested his
election and the committee reported in
favor of Lowe. Wheeler was an anus
ing philosopher, and had cleared his
desk of private papers the day before
the case came up. When the case was
called he sat half day and listened to
the speeches then he climbed into the
chair before the Speakers desk and
made an eloquent etf.rt iu his own de-
fence then he climbed down, took his
hat and lei, the chamber without wait
ing for the vote which unseated him,
and he never went near the House
again. Late this Fall. previous to the
election, poor Lowe died, and special
election was called. Wheeler was on
the Democratic ticket and was elected,
and to-day he uoddled again to the front
of the Clerks desk. and fer a second
time took the oath of othce as mem
Der of the Forty seventh Congress.
There was no objection ;his time.

been detected in the wholesale appro-
priation of ore. He was appointed By
the New York managers four months
ago. Since then it is estimated the
mine has produced $50. 900, not cent
of which is accounted for. The stealing
vas cleverly done. Parker secured a
lease Of the Wheel. OF Fortune mine,
adjoining the Robinson, and ran a cross.
cut through its workings from the Rob
inson, and noisted ore from the latter
through the Wheel-of Fortune shaft.
The company, suspecsing their man
ager, sent James Davis oIt to succeed
HIM. The disclosure of Parksr's
rascality was made through his refusal
to give Up possession Of the mine. He
declares he has the requisite nine law
points of possession, and will not let
the New York directors down him. He
does no. deny the charge Of ore stealing.
