The Ohio Election investigation.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO GO TO CINCINNATI TO INQUIRE
INTO THE USE OF DEPUTY MARSHALS-Two HORNS
OF A DILEMMA.
The Springer committee Will probably announce
next Tuesday the subcommittee TO conduct the
investigation into the appointment and uses of
deputy marshals at Cincinnati 1t is thought that
the subcommittee will be ready to start for Gin
cinnau about next Thursday. and Immediately
after their arrival there they Will begin to take
testimony. 1t seems that some Of the men who
acted as deputy marshalS at the Ohio cleo
ton have, since the INVESTIGATION was Or
dered, said they were not regularly ap-
pointed, but were wearing the badges "for fun"
Some OF the members OF the committee having
heard OF this have called attention TO law passed
at the last session OF Congress and approved April
18TH, 1854 1t provides that every person who with
intent to defraud the United States, any person
falsely assumes or pretends to be an oficer or en-
ploye acting under the authority OF the United
States, or any department or oficer thereof, and
who shall take upon himself to act as such, shall
be guilty OF felony and liable to a fine OF not
more than 81 900 or imprisonment not longer than
three years or both. It Is claimed that this law
will apply to persons who wore marshal'S badges,
but say they had no appointment and a member
Of the Springer committee, speaking OF the Cncin-
natl deputies, said: "They can take either horn OF
the dilemma they please"
