WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. S.-Representatives Cobb
and Finerty were in their seats in the House to-
day. The excitement over the difference between
these gentlemen, growing out of the heated dis
cussion of yesterday, has subsided. Mr.. Cobb
told the Journal correspondent, this afternoon,
that he did not intend to strike Mr.. Finerty, and
he didn't believe the Irishman from Chicago in
tended to strike him. Said Mr.. Cobb: "Al
statements made concerning desire upon the
part of myself and Mr.. Finerty to come to blows
are false. Our words were ~quite animated
toward the last yet we separated be-
cause we did not want to continue
the conversation further, and not because we
were requested to do so by the sergeant-at- arms
or anybody else. 1 did not defend England
against the Irish, either, as I see reported. +
said that while sympathized with Ireland and
her people in their efforts to secure freedom,
condemned the use Of dynamite, and considered
the men who used eddynamite no better than MUIR
derers Finerty said was inhuman, and re-
piled that was as humane as he WAS, and added
that if my family or any part of it was ever in
jured by dynamiters, would get gun and
hunt the murderers like would wild beasts,
and when | found them / would shoot them.'
But we can shoot, too replied Finerty. Yes,'
said ], but l would try to shoot first Our
words were pretty fiery at this point, and got
up and walked away"

AFTER NINE YEARS.
The Truth About Evarts's Alleged Electoral
Commission Fee.

New YORK, Jan, 28.-A chapter In the his
tory of the electoral commission affair of 1876
has Just become public through the election Of
Nr. Evarts as senator. It has been currently
reported for years that lie received an enormous
fee for his services before that commission. Mr.
Evarts was in Washington. arguing case before
the Supreme Court, when the commission was
formed. He was ready to start for home, when
he received a call from Zach Chandler chairman
Of the Republican national committee, and two
OF three other members of the committee, who
happened at the time to be in Washington.
Chandlersaid il was desired that Evarts should
argue the Republican case before the commits
sion. When Evarts asked who were to be cOun-
sci with him. the reply was made that Mr.
Hayes wished him to take entire charge of the
case and select his own assistants. This was
satisfactory and Evarts said he would remain to
attend to the case.
Then Chandler said: 'Mr. Evarts. our com
mittee is poor owing to the enormous expenses
that have attended the canvass, and we cannot
offer you large retainer" This IS as much
my matter as yours" said Mr.. Evarts; ''in fact
it is the concern of every citizen There need
be no question about fees. l should have re-
manned without their being mentioned. Consid-
or that part of the case settled"
Chandler said the committee would at least
provide for the lawyers hotel expenses, TO
which Evarts assented He remained in Wash
ington continuously for thirty days or more. The
rooms he occupied were a parlor and bed room
at Wormley's, the same that he had when Chan
der called on him. There was, necessarily, a
great deal of consultation in these rooms. The
gentlemen called into the case were en-
fertained there, and their bills, as well as a
large number of minor bills, were all charged to
Mr.. Evarts, as senior counsel The BILL all told
grew pretty steep. Wormley presented IL to the
national committee when Chandler was away,
and subordinate objected to the amount Mr..
WorGnley told Mr.. Evarts who said "Oh, well,
let them pay what they can and will give you
check for the rest"
The check he finally gave in settlement was for
between $500 and 5000. Chandler afterwards
learned of the transaction and wanted to make
it right, but Evarts persisted that it was already
right, and refused all tenders from the commit
tee, on the ground that they had enough other
bills to pay without being bothered by this one.
This is the whole story of the enormous retainer
which induced Mr. Eyarts to plead the Repub
Gcan cause in 1877.

A NEW POLITICAL SCHEME.

The Cooperative Plan Adopted by Post
masters and Their Would-Be Successors.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON JAM Ex-senator Voorhees, and
Representative Steele, of Indiana in a visit to
the Postof6ce Department and White House,
discovered very smooth political trick that is
being attempted in good many States, and es-
pecially in Indiana which has been promptly
sat down upon by the President Postmasters
who believe they are marked for early decapita-
ton in number of localities have selected their
successors and are proposing to help them into
the Offices provided they will purchase the Office
fixtures. In every instance tho parties recon-
mended are found to be either Democrats
or nom partisans, or persons who for
some reason believe they win be
retained under the incoming administration. In
some instances the relatives of the incumbents
have been chosen, SO as to get persons who will
be less Objectionable to Democrats in Office, and
at the same time either make the transfers di-
rectly beneficial to the outgoing parties, or
keep the.places in the families.
To successfully make these changes, the CO.
operation of Democratic member or senator is
often required, and that is how Senator voor-
hees, Democrat and Congressman Steele, Re-
publican were brought together 1t is learned
that quite number of postmasters in Indiana
have arranged to sell their fixtures
to the successors they have selected.
But there Is an objection to all
this. Firstly, the members Of Congress
and senators object to schemes of this character
and secondly, the President fatty refuses to he
made political pack horse by such arrange
ments.
In some instances which have come under the
notice of the Postoffce Department postmasters
VINO have not served half their terms have ndi-
Gated that they would like to resign if they can
have so -and-so appointed to succeed them. Should
the frightened officials succeed in each case there
would be changes made in about half the post
Offices in the country during the five weeks re-
naming of President Arthurs term In some
instances too, it is suspected that there
have been bargains and sales, and the
postmasters who propose to go out
are believed 60 be promised compensations for
manipulating the arrangement. Upon all jobs
of this character it is given out at the White
House, the President has put his foot, and has
fixed rule that he will fill no vacancies which
are made for the express purpose OF defraudlng
Mr. Cleveland out of appointments.
1t was just this kind of schemes that Senator
Malone was charged with manipulating in Vir-
gnia and which induced the famous readjuster
to rise and remark, a few days ago, that he was
not political pirate, and believed that TO the
victors belonged the spoils and none but active
persons of the party in power should be trusted
with the Offices

A SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT.
A Suit in a Chicago Court Which Involves
the Church of the First Born."

CHICAGO, Jan. 28-Rev. George Schweinfurth,
pastor Of the Church of the First Born, and the
leader of the followers of Mrs Dora Beekman,
of Ohio, conducted the defense in the somewhat
sensational divorce case of Caroline Wentworth
against Sidney T. Wentworth, to-day, in Judge
Tuley's court. The complainant charges in her
bill that her husband was guilty of extreme and
repeated cruelty and of improper intimacy with
Mrs. Grandy When placed upon the. witness
stand she testified that her husband belonged to
the followers of Dora Beekman, who had at one
time believed she was to be the mother Of
Christ, but had later got it into her head that
she was the Christ They believed that when a
person entered the "Jesus life," as they termed
it, all human law was suspended as to them. A
husband was not bound to respect his marriage
VOWS, nor was any one person entitled to any
property rights as against another. od The Went
worth family lived at No. 300 South
Oakley avenue. After the annual meeting at
Byron, O., Brothers Grandy and Whitney, with
their wives and their children, made pro
longed visit to the house of the Wentworths.
The house contained but two sleeping-rooms,
one of which small, and was occupied by
the Wentworths The other an alcove bed
room, was occupied by the visiting families dur
ing the five weeks of their stay. The carvings
on during this visit, Mrs Wentworth says, were
IONOlt1IS' Ouo COulO uOt ho0p ucF 1dloo Uo0tu
in her mouth.
''Well, Mrs. Wentworth, did you ever see
anything wrong between these people while at
your housef' asked Mr.. Schweinfurth
'Oh, yes, you remember my hired girl, Annie,
whom you convertedl You know, some time
afterward, she had twins through your train
ing, and with your permission. You know my
husband gave her presents"
It was admitted that Mr.. Wentworth gave
Mrs. Grundy and another married lady of the
church materials for dresses, and other trifes
Mrs. Wentworth said that every member of
the church but two had disrobed in her presence.
She declared that they nearly ate her out of
house and home.
Mr.. Schweinfurth cross-questioned Mrs
Wentworth as thoroughly as any pettifogging
justice court lawyer, and brought out sharp
personal retorts to his queries OF him she said
.He would come pompously into the parlor,
drawling, 'vanities of vanities, all is vanity, and
kick the leg off of the lounge"
The defendant and his witnesses denied Mrs
Wentworth's statement in tota, although he ad-
mitted locking his wife up in room, and ''slap.
ping her when she wasn't good girl" He de-
clared that his wifes statements were 'sabom-
inallv and damnably false"
The court dismissed the bill for want of equity,
saying that Mrs. Wentworth was not actually
insane, but she was unbalanced upon the sub
ject of religion and family relation.

General Stewart should make an effort to estab-
lish himself at some point on the Nile between
Metemneh and Khartoum. At O'clock or the
morning of the 10Th, when the British line was
only league from the river, the enemy APP
peared in force some distance in front. A halt
was then made for breakfast, and strong
zereba was established. The enemy opened
fire, and, while strengthening the works for pro-
lection to the wounded and the baggage, the fire
was the heaviest that the British had yet been
subjected to. While at this point, General Stew
art was wounded.
On Jan. q, two days after the battle in the
desert, reconnaissance toward Metemneh was
made This revealed the fact that Metemneh
was in a state of defense. The works were in
fairly good condition. and furnished with loop
holes. Sir Charles Wilson reports that he could
have carried Metemneh but thought it not
worth risking the loss of men which the capture
might involve On the following day recon
noissance was made down the river to Shendy
with three steamers which returned on the
same day. Sir Charles deplores the losses the
English troops suffered in crossing from Korti to
Gubat. but in other respects regards the result
of the operations as in the highest degree sue
cessful. Lord Wolsely telegraphs that two Of
fcers were killed and nine wounded during the
passage from Abu-Klea to the river Col. Bur
leigh is among those slightly wounded.
Four steamers from Khartoum under Nusri Pa
cha, arrived at Gubat, on Wednesday. By these
the latest news from Gordon is brought During
the reconnaissance toward Metemneh, Nusri
landed and assisted Stewards force in its oper-
ations. Metemneh, it appears, is occupied by
1000 men, one half regulars, under command of
Nursangar. The town is provided with Krupp
guns, but has very little ammunition. Shells
fired from the guns will not explode at Shendy,
which is on the other side Of the river. A short
distance north of Metemneh is one small Krnpp
gun, and town garrisoned by small force Sir
Charles Weson started for Khartoum last Sat
urday. The force accompanying him is a de-
tachment Of the Sussex regiment

of last year failed in making. The services of
eight Indian guides will be secured. The party
will be provided with ships, bread, coffee and
salt, but expect to subsist mainly on provisions
foraged along the route. They have supply of
trinkets, beads. etc., with which to buy food
from the Indians and to make peace with in case
hostility is shown.

Children Say Their Father Is an Unfit Guar
dian.

New YORK, Jan. 28.-Dr. A. Roberg was
surgeon in the Confederate army, in Georgia, in
1861 and 1862. Later he came to this city. and
built up practice that yielded him $4,000
year While in Georgia he married Matilda
Mason. To-day his five children applied to have
another guardian than their father appointed.
Mrs. Roberg died last summer. The oldest son,
his father is not fit to remain
their guardian, as he has been and is a heavy
drinker. The petitioner gives instances of
alleged intoxication on the part of the Doctor
The young man says his father came down stairs
and told the servant to kill the reptiles in the
garden Dr. Roberg answers that the charges
are all untrue, and that there is conspiracy
against him to have him placed in an asylum.
He adds that his wife's sister made much trouble
between himself and his wife by interfering ir
their affairs.
