election frauds, the Daily Netos says:
civilian ]. Gallagher was a few years ago
prominently connected, it is said, with gang
Of 'jury fxers'' that infected the courts
OF Philadelphia. He was tried on
March 26th, 1878 for embracery, an
indictment having been found against him
for attempted jury fixing in the Bliss case,
but the Jury returned q verdict Of not
guilty and the county was required to
pay the costs. Gallagher is said to have also
borne in Philadelphia the reputation
Of being confidence man and bunko steerer.
He left that city in the fall of 1882 to escape
arrest, it is said, on charges of forgery and
obtaining money under false pretences."
The same paper asserts that Gallagher is
said to have succeeded in having cashed a
number of worthless checks and that he also
figured ON the case of several New York shop
lifters in the character Of ''straw" .bondsman.
He came to Chicago two years ago.

Almost recklessly now, Congress is rush
ing It's business along. |, is tired, hot. and
wants to go home.
The House passed the Sundry Civil Ap
preparation bill without debate, and thus
made long stride toward the end Of the
session. In that the forty-eighth Congress
has done everything that it should not have
done, and left undone everything that il
should have done. the country is not sur
pri.ed or disappointed. Its record was ac-
curately predicted. ard would not be i'm
proved, perhaps should this session continue.
until the next began.
On Welnesda, he House filed its only
vacant seat. and Gen. Chalmers was &C.
from the second Mississippi district. II
took the committee six months 10 determine
this case, for reckless Democratic partisans
insisted that Mr.. Manning had a right to a
seat. though he never had the courage TO
claim that he was elected, and refused to be
sworn in at the opening of the session.
The Senate passed the Mexican Pension
bill, but drew line at the ingalls, amend
meut, granting arrearages Of Pensions, TO

Senator Logan'S formal notification of his
nomination was conducted in quiet. good
style. and took place in a private parlor of
his unpretentious boarding house on Twelfth
street. He expressed his appreciation of
the honor in a straightforward way and was
not the least surprised. lie does not think
the mission Of the Republican party is end
ed yet,h any means. At a serenade the other
night he told his visitors that the party had
enough work before it 10 keep it IN office
another quarter Of century at least. II
must not 20 TO the wal, he said until every
state gave its citizens full political rights,
and the country guaranteed protection to
every American at home. and abroad till
yond question, till the laborer got his rights.
till education was universal, and till self
government solved all the questions Of hu-
mainly. To carry out this programme will
keep the Democrats hungry for a long time
TO come.
The Senate has proposed an investigation
of Department frauds and for this purpose
committee will sit during the summer va
cation. At time like the present it is
proper to say that while of course there are
individual exceptions, the financial transac-
tons Of the Government as whole are
marked by extraordinary honesty. What
ever critics may say it is doubtful if the
same vast volume of business is handled
anywhere in the world with so little loss
from rascality. There flows in and out of
the Treasury two million dollars a day, and
the amount which fails to reach its legiti-
mate destination is absolutely Insignificant
| in its ratio to the mass.
